Maximizing and maintaining maximum self-efficacy is essential to overall well-being, especially in today's hectic, high-paced world. Yes, you too, are living in a business world!
While it is important to set goals, setting unrealistic goals is unhealthy, as failure to achieve goals with regularity produces adverse effects, namely depression and diminished self-esteem.
Strategize! Have a back-up plan!
Smile! Nothing is healthier than a bright smile! (Note: Schedule regular check-ups with your family dentist at regular six-month intervals.)
Practice smiling at yourself in the mirror before you go outside! Repeat: "I can do it. I can do it. I am an important and valuable person. The complicated societal infrastructure would collapse without my presence."
(Are you too old for braces? Heavens no! Should your orthodontist recommend fitting you for braces, think of it this way: am I too old for a beautiful smile?)
Feel no shame for what you are.
Accept rejection as a normal human reaction.
Feel no shame for who you are.
Seek medical attention for insomnia.
Embrace insomnia, as it allows for enhanced productivity.
Lonely? Get out there! Become involved with singles night at your local Christian church.
Volunteer at an animal shelter.
Walking a disenfranchised pet benefits you and the animal in question simultaneously. Exercise enhances the immune system and produces positive emotions. Good company increases pleasure chemicals in the brain. The dog will wag its tale in approval! Just imagine!
Palms sweaty? Afraid to shake hands? Close your eyes and imagine the positive outcome. Take deep breaths.
Count to three.
Don't give up now.
Keep breathing.
Be sure to tell a joke now and again. People will be more likely to spend time with you if you possess the ability to make them laugh. Laughter is nature's best medicine.
Be social and display amicability towards everyone you meet. Kindness is contagious.
Heed these tips for positive lifestyle changes and you won't be alone for long!
Obtain some telephone numbers. Give the gal of your fancy a ring some evening. State your name calmly, slowly, and confidently. Kindly remind her of where you met.
Ask her if she would be interested in spending time with you, perhaps by going to the picture show or having a nice, informal meal at the local burger joint down the street. (Doctors assert that consumption of ground beef releases pleasure chemicals in the brain.)
Always be a gentleman! If you own an auto, open and close the door for your female passenger. She will be delighted by your manners. Obey all traffic rules and regulations on the open road. Young ladies hate troublesome drivers and are more likely to engage in amorous relations with unimposing boys who tend not to quarrel.
If she happens to be engaged with another young male of reproductive age, don't fret! Hopefully she will realize her mistake and allow you the opportunity to hold her in the dark as she falls asleep.
Stay positive.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) — The Port of Lake Charles board has approved an operating agreement with Lake Charles Clean Energy for the handling and storage of methanol — a major step in bringing the $2.6-billion project forward.
Port officials said Monday the new submission will allow the product to be exported — about one million tons per year. The port already received a 25-year operating contract with Lake Charles Clean Energy, a subsidiary of Leucadia.
Port Director Bill Rase told the American Press recently this is the largest project in the works at the Port and will help create long-term sustainability for years to come.
The company has spent more than $50 million in site preparation — mainly for drainage and electricity.

Seed Capital Bizkaia Mikro, established last year to operate in micro-finance projects (with a limit of 25,000 euros) has already in perspective between 30 and 35 operations in 2018 and has managed to attract the European Micro-financing Congress to Bilbao, which will be held in October with the assistance of more than 700 experts.
The Commission for Economic and Territorial Development of the General Meetings of Bizkaia held this morning a double session in which various public sector companies dependent on the Department headed by Imanol Pradales have reported on their activities and projects.
In the same, Pradales has highlighted the recent creation of Crowdfunding Bizkaia, the first European public platform in this form of financing, with a social capital of 60,000 euros fully disbursed by the Provincial Council.
The directors-managers of Beaz, Azpiegiturak, Seed Capital and Interbiak have accompanied Pradales – who as head of the Department presides over all of them – when responding to requests for information from the Juntero groups.
The information provided by these five public entities dependent on the Provincial Council of Bizkaia respond to a joint initiative of the Mixed Groups and EH Bildu, which in the last weeks have processed requests so that those responsible for all the autonomous entities and companies of the public sector go to the corresponding committees of the Chamber of Biscay to account for their actions and projects, strategic plans, conditions of their staff and other issues related to their activity.
The Regional Deputy of Economic and Territorial Development and the managers of the various entities have explained that Beaz-Center for Business and Innovation of Bizkaia, SA, whose purpose is the promotion, development and promotion of the competitiveness of companies, was a pioneer when it was established in 1987 as the first center of enterprise and innovation created in the State. It has a staff of 51 people and a budget of 5,035,000 euros for this year.
Beaz manages eight incubation spaces for business projects, some in collaboration with the UPV-EHU, University of Deusto, Basque Government, SPRI or Bilbao City Council. The survival rate of the projects supported by Beaz is around 80%, and its short-term priorities are to continue working on business innovation and acceleration of startups.
On the other hand, Azpiegiturak, SAU, a mercantile company whose purpose is the projection, construction, conservation and management of infrastructures of different nature (business, social, sports), since it derives from the merger in 2009 of several provincial societies attached to different departments, has for this year a budget of 76.5 million euros, and has a staff of 64 people.
Imanol Pradales has clarified that, although the Foral Housing Plan is not already in force, Azpiegiturak is responsible for managing 1,100 homes derived from it, with a majority already sold and 161 for rent, largely for people in vulnerable situations.
This year Azpiegiturak has taken control of 60% of the share capital of SestaoBai, a public company promoted by the City Council of the town and the Provincial Council to promote a Business Park in a degraded industrial area, in which the Provincial has underlined the recent creation of 229 jobs in a plant of the ITP aeronautical group, and another hundred in an occupational center that will soon launch Lantegi Batuak, in addition to the previous transfer to this site by the company Vicinay.
For its part, Seed Capital Bizkaia, established in 1989 with the aim of financing innovative business projects, is organized as a management company and four venture capital funds (I, Bi, Pyme and Mikro). The first three currently have a portfolio of 58 companies from the most diverse investee sectors, and its budget for 2018 is 1,290,000 euros, with 12 people on staff.
Interbiak, created in 2002, aims to manage road infrastructures, mainly the conservation and exploitation of the section of the A-8 highway between Basauri and Ermua and the Artxanda tunnels, and the construction of the Metropolitan South Alternative (known as Supersur, and whose new phase will be tendered shortly).
It also maintains works in execution (variant of Ermua and Amorebieta-Muxika section, which includes the Autzagane tunnels) or in project (radial roads Uberuaga-Berriatua, Boroa-Igorre and Meñaka-Bermeo).
With a staff of 32 people, Interbiak has a budget of 109 million euros for 2018 and an economic-financial plan with the horizon of 2035 that, in the opinion of Imanol Pradales, is being met "satisfactorily", and has stated that will not be affected by the announced intention of the Diputación to undertake the construction of the subfluvial tunnel of Lamiako.

Things I liked on my trip to Miami
I recently spent a week and a half in Miami with three close girlfriends from university—you know, those '5 years in the making' reunion type of trips. We had a blast. Miami was definitely the right place for us. After the girls left, I stayed a few extra days because I was enjoying the place a lot for having all the three things I need when I visit a city.
The trip went really well considering we didn't do much planning. We booked a condo at the Alexander Hotel and winged the rest. There's so much to do and see in Miami that left us zero room to be bored. Even better, getting to do those things is actually easy. We booked our tours and day trips through the lovely hotel staff and dining was no problem, especially if you head to South Beach and just stroll along Ocean Drive. Brace yourself though when it comes to dining on Ocean Drive because you WILL be harassed by different sorts of promoters. You'll have the restaurant staff who stand in front of the restaurants trying to sell you on their menu and get you to eat there. And the club/event promoters who will interrupt your meal to tell you that you should 'go to Live night club because it's T.I's birthday and he's having a big bash' there. If you're into clubbing and don't know what's good in Miami, forget Google, just grab a sit-down meal on Ocean and you'll have at least a few options by the time you're done your meal.
I really had a good time and loved Miami for its art deco, warm climate and coastal appeals. Here are my favourite things about the vacation:
YUCA Restaurant – we had been looking for a Cuban restaurant and settled for something less the night before. When we stumbled on Yuca while strolling around Washington and Lincoln Road, we knew it was the authentic Cuban delight we'd been craving. Reading the menu left us drooling and we couldn't wait for the meals to come. I had the Plantain Coated Mahi Mahi and I don't have words to describe how delicious it tasted. My friends were in love as well. YUCA stands for Young Urban Cuban-Americans.
Sheri Restaurant – I researched Nigerian restaurants in Miami before I left on the trip and Sheri was one of the popular results. I often look for Nigerian businesses in cities that I visit because I like to support my people wherever they are in the world. I was super pumped to try the restaurant. But things didn't turn out as I had expected. First, the trip from Miami Beach cost us $48 on a taxi…one way. The taxi driver told us he'd pick us up when we were done for $40. We went with the deal. So that was nearly $100 to go to a restaurant where the total cost of our meal was about $50. I really wanted to go to Sheri so I made the girls take one for the team. To make things worse, I could only eat the pepper soup because I was sick throughout the whole vacation and didn't have much of an appetite. I really thought I'd feel better and be able to meat a bit, but nope (stupid cold). My friends enjoyed the dishes for me. The food looked great and they had a lot of food choices, including suya. The staff were great and I had a nice chat with the owner, who informed me that we could've ordered and had it deliver for a flat rate of $50. Ooops.
South Beach – I enjoyed the South Beach area because I like being in that hustling and bustling kind of atmosphere…and the beach was two strides away. The area had a lot of restaurants and shops to choose from, and a great place to people watch.
Alexander Hotel – booking a place to stay was the only thing we did before we got to Miami. After thorough researching, my friend booked the Alexander Hotel. We booked it through a property management company and our loft was beautiful. It had water views on both sides (the bay on the right + ocean on the left), which you could see from the huge balcony and also from the bedrooms. There was a lot of space for four ladies to sprawl, including a full kitchen + living room. It was so beautiful that, of course, we didn't want to leave. The staff at the concierge were very kind and helpful.
Tapas y Tintos – salsa dancing was another thing we were on the look out for in Miami. Our hotel concierge recommended Mango on Ocean Drive. We enjoyed the food at Mango but the music was far from salsa…it was too much of everything. One of the waiters told us about Tapas y Tintos so we paid our bills and headed to salsa our heart out on Washington + Espanola Way. Tapas y Tintos didn't disappoint. They had mostly live music with a mix of some hits by the DJ. The staff and fellow dancers were very kind and willing to teach us. Fun was had by all.
Key West – at first, I was a bit disappointed with Key West because it lacked the long beach strip or even small cozy sands I had imagined. But I learned to love the place for what it had to offer. You might not find much of a beach in Key West but the amount of water sports is enough to keep you content. We all parasailed and I spent the remaining day trip on a tiny man-made beach with one of my friends while the other two went snorkelling.
Private Boat Tour – one of my friends had been to Miami before and made a friend with one of the event/club promoters who now runs his own boat tour business. He gave us an exclusive tour of Biscayne Bay and Flagler Memorial Island. We stayed on the island for a bit and had a look around. We walked further into the island to see the monument and it was nice to see a few other people on the island, including two couples who were on a double date and had rented jet skis for the island. Our new friend also gave us a tour of the Millionaires' Rows (home of the rich + famous). We continued the tour throughout sunset and it was such a beauty to see the Miami skyline from the water and during sunset. …and to think Biscayne Bay was on our list of tours we had plan to pay for.
Emeli Sande – Next to seeing my friends, going to Emili Sande's concert was a huge highlight. The concert was unreal and she put on such a great show that after she finished and said her goodbye, no one moved. We all stood and sat there, waiting, clapping, and cheering for more. After a few minutes, the lovely artist came back on stage and gave us a few more minutes of her time. The crowd erupted. And you could see the long sad faces when Ms. Sande wrapped things up for good and people started to leave the theatre. I had a blast at the concert even though I went by myself because my friends left earlier that day.
Beach bumming – another awesome part of the trip was staying the extra few days after my friends left. Other than going to the concert, I did absolutely nothing but eat, nap at the beach and swim. It was the most perfect way for me to whine down after all the touring and walking about I did with the girls.
Miami is a beautiful city and I'm glad I got to experience the place. Have you traveled to Miami before? What are some of your memories?
One Response to "Things I liked on my trip to Miami"
[…] their taste buds have no boundaries. They've had Nigerian meals at my place and when I make us drive for hours just to go to a Nigerian restaurant when we travel. So I was surprised I hadn't shared with them a link to All Nigerian Recipes […]

Real-time anti-malware – protects you against new and emerging threats
By combining traditional, proactive and cloud-based anti-malware technologies, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 delivers real-time protection against the latest malware threats:
Antivirus protection
Kaspersky's award-winning antivirus software defends your PC against all types of malware, including:
- Computer viruses
- Trojan viruses
- Worms
- Rootkits
- Spyware
- Bots… and more
Cloud-assisted technology enables real-time protection
When hackers and cybercriminals release new malware, it takes time for security vendors to update their antivirus databases with a new malware signature that protects against the new threat. However, Kaspersky uses cloud-assisted technologies to ensure its customers' PCs are protected during the period before a new malware signature has been produced.
The cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) continually gathers information about new malware threats from millions of consenting users' computers across the world. Armed with this information, Kaspersky helps to secure your PC against the very latest threats – without you having to wait for a new malware signature to be released.
Whether you consent to KSN automatically collecting threat information from your computer – or whether you prefer not to permit data collection – your PC will still be able to benefit from KSN's extremely rapid response to new and emerging malware.
Preventing the exploitation of software vulnerabilities
If your PC's operating system – or the applications running on your PC – contain any vulnerabilities because they've not had the latest software patches or fixes applied, Kaspersky's Automatic Exploit Prevention technology will:
- Control the launch of executable files from applications that contain vulnerabilities
- Assess how executable files behave – identifying similarities with malware programs
- Restrict how vulnerable applications are allowed to operate
Protection against screen lockers
Blocker Trojan viruses can prevent you from using your PC until you pay 'ransom' money for the blocker's restrictions to be removed. If a cybercriminal ever uses a Blocker Trojan to try and take control of your PC, just activate Kaspersky's protection against screen lockers and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 will:
- Halt any dangerous processes
- Launch the relevant virus treatment procedures
System Watcher
In the unlikely event of your PC becoming infected with malware, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 includes Kaspersky's unique System Watcher technology that:
- Detects dangerous behaviour on your computer
- Enables you to roll back or undo most types of malicious action
Efficient updates for antivirus databases
Because Kaspersky ensures that your computer only needs to store relatively small antivirus databases, your PC benefits from:
- Minimal impact on performance
- Quicker installation and updates for your Kaspersky antivirus software
Web protection – secures you against sophisticated, web-based malware attacks
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 includes computer security technologies that help to ensure you can surf the web and be confident that you won't be affected by dangerous websites:
URL Advisor
By using cloud-based data about the reputation of websites, the Kaspersky URL Advisor alerts you about links to suspicious and dangerous sites. It provides colour-coded icons that show you whether a link is 'trusted', 'suspicious' or 'dangerous'.
File Advisor
With just a single mouse click, Kaspersky's File Advisor uses cloud-based technologies to check the safety of any file you wish to access.
Anti-phishing protection
With its regularly updated database, Kaspersky's anti-phishing engine helps to defend you against Internet fraudsters' attempts to access your personal information.
Optimised – to help preserve your PC's performance
Because we recognise that antivirus software should provide effective protection without any significant effect on your PC's performance, Kaspersky's development team has ensured Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 delivers:
Minimal consumption of PC resources
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 has minimal impact on general network activity and the:
- Installation of applications
- Launch of applications
- Launch of web browsers
Kaspersky's special Gamer Mode also ensures your PC is protected, while you enjoy an uninterrupted game experience.
Rapid start-up, shutdown and reaction times
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 has been optimised to deliver:
- Faster start-up
- Quicker shutdown
- Rapid response when you select security settings and commands
Longer battery life
If you're running a laptop on battery power, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 automatically limits its use of resources. This helps to ensure your laptop can operate for a longer period before its battery needs to be recharged.
Optimised for Windows
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 has been optimised for Windows 8.1
Designed for ease of use
Superior security doesn't have to be difficult to use. That's why Kaspersky Anti-Virus includes several new and upgraded user features:
Improved user interface
Capitalising on the very latest thinking on efficient user interfaces, we've updated the main display window for Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014.
Streamlined settings
The main interface now only includes frequently used settings – so they're easier to use and navigate.
Automatic upgrades
New versions of Kaspersky Anti-Virus can be automatically installed on your PC – without you having to perform any update action or respond to any prompts – to make it even easier for you to ensure you always have the latest protection.
Improved virus scan features
The redesigned Task Manager makes it easier to view the status of scanning processes – and see how Kaspersky's security processes are making use of your PC's resources.

Photographer Nigel Dickinson has been awarded first prize in the features category of the prestigious Press Photographer's Year 2008 competition for a series of pictures shot last year in Cambodia.
Dickinson, whose portfolio spans much of the globe, has worked extensively in South East Asia, documenting environmental and rights issues.
His prize-winning work in Cambodia featured Stung Meanchey dump and Cambodia's last passenger train route from Phnom Penh to Battambang.
"I am very happy and honored to receive this award. It's humbling to be awarded a prize by one's peers, fellow photographers and experienced photojournalists," Dickinson told the Post by email on June 25.
"As a human being and as a journalist, I cannot help but become concerned with what I see and become involved with people and issues," he added.
"Especially when I witness such a strong spirit, and receive such warmth and hospitality from the Khmer people, who live with corruption, the legacy of the Khmer Rouge, often in poverty and surviving against the odds.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (Nov. 17, 2011) – Mount Holyoke College seniors Shara Robertson, Tricia Chase, Katie Gibson, Taylor Hedges and Jess Fajardo have earned NFHCA All-Region accolades as a result of their outstanding play this fall. All five players were instrumental in leading the Lyons to a share of the NEWMAC Regular Season Championship and their second ECAC New England Championship.
Robertson and Chase were named to the First Team, while Gibson, Hedges and Fajardo earned Second Team honors. The NFHCA honored 192 players nationally. Thirty-two recipients were selected to represent the New England East Region.
No stranger to postseason recognition, Robertson grabbed NFHCA All-Region honors for the third year in a row. She was placed on the First Team for the second straight year after earning Second Team accolades as a sophomore. Arguably the top offensive player in program history, Robertson racked up 159 points on 67 goals and 25 assists over her four seasons in South Hadley. She will graduate as the program's all-time leader in career points and goals.
Gifted with great speed, a tenacious work ethic and excellent moves, she continually found a way to put the ball in the cage despite constant pressure. In 72 career matches, she piled up eight hat tricks and 11 winners. The forward was at her best in the Lyons' 16-1 triumph over Elms College during her rookie campaign, when she exploded for nine points on four goals and an assist (09/28/09). Her point and goal totals both tied previous school records held by Bridget Gunn '95 and Krista Lindquist '02, respectively.
Robertson was particularly impressive this season, recording program records for points (68), goals (25) and assists (18). The forward notched hat tricks in wins over Regis College (09/09/11) and Smith College (09/17/11). Her three assists in a 5-3 triumph over Wellesley College were a career high (09/24/11) and helped her secure the NEWMAC Player of the Week Award honors for the second time in her career.
Robertson was named Most Outstanding Player of the ECAC Tournament over the weekend after leading Mount Holyoke to a 4-2 triumph over Plymouth State University in the championship. She racked up 13 points on five goals and three assists over the course of the tournament.
In 2008, Robertson became just the second player in program history to claim NEWMAC Rookie of the Year accolades. One year later, she was placed on the NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team. The forward went on to earn All-Conference First Team honors in her final two seasons with the Lyons.
Like Robertson, Chase also earned NFHCA All-Region recognition for the third season in a row. After grabbing Second Team honors last fall, she returned to the First Team this year. The senior was among the national leaders in defensive saves with eight. She also chipped in with two goals and five assists this year.
Chase was an anchor in Mount Holyoke's defensive backfield for the past four years and served as a captain for her final two seasons in blue and white. She was an aggressive work horse, who left it on the field each time out. An outstanding athlete, she served as the Lyons' general on the field throughout her career. In addition to being her team's top defenders, she also became a go to player on the offensive side of the ball. Her great one-on-one moves and lethal reverse stick sweep made her a top threat on corner chances.
In 70 career matches, Chase delivered eight goals, 15 assists and 20 defensive saves. Her three defensive saves at Amherst College during her sophomore season were a career high (09/30/09). After scoring the lone goal in Mount Holyoke's season opening win over Washington last fall (09/05/10), she racked up a career best three points on a goal and an assist in her team's 5-0 triumph over Simmons later that week (09/11/11).
Chase was a NEWMAC All-Conference performer in each of her last three seasons at Mount Holyoke. After earning First Team honors as a sophomore, she battled through a variety of injuries to make the Second Team last fall. This year, she returned to the First Team. Chase was named NEWMAC Player of the Week for the second time in her career on October 10.
Gibson was voted to the NFHCA All-Region Second Team for the second season in a row. The senior was outstanding between the pipes for the Lyons all season long. In addition to leading all NEWMAC starters with a goals against average of 1.26 and a save percentage of .799, she also piled up five shutouts. Gibson surrendered just 27 goals en route to an overall record of 16-5 in nearly 1,500 minutes played. She came up with a season-best 17 saves in Mount Holyoke's thrilling 2-1 triumph over Castleton State College (09/10/11). That performance helped her land NEWMAC Player of the Week honors for the first time. She also earned the award after allowing just one goal in wins over WPI (10/18/11) and Clark University (10/22/11).
Despite her quiet demeanor, Gibson developed into one of the top goalkeepers in the region. She consistently made the most difficult saves look easy and could always be counted on to keep the Lyons in each of their matches. The senior had great anticipation, routinely made point blank saves and had the ability to stop one-on-one chances.
Gibson was one of Mount Holyoke's most improved players since joining the program three seasons ago. Her career goals against average of 1.44 is the second best in program history. Over the course of her career, she came up with 10 saves or more on 11 occasions, and her 18 stops in the Lyons' thrilling 2-1 triumph over Springfield College during her sophomore year were a career high (10/13/09). Gibson spent over 4,000 minutes protecting her team's cage. Her 17 shutouts during that time are the second most in school history.
Gibson was voted to the NEWMAC All-Conference First Team this year after claiming Second Team honors as a junior.
One year after earning a spot on the NFHCA All-Region First Team, Hedges secured Second Team honors this year. She dished out assists in wins over Wellesley College (09/24/11), WPI (10/18/11) and Babson College (11/05/11). The midfielder was particularly impressive on the defensive end in Mount Holyoke's heartbreaking 2-1 overtime setback to MIT in the NEWMAC Championship earlier this month (11/06/11).
Hedges was one of her team's top playmakers from the midfield for the last four seasons. Armed with excellent stick skills, she consistently eluded defenders and set up her teammates with open shots over the course of her career. She served as a captain this year.
The midfielder appeared in and started 70 matches for the Lyons, dishing out 13 assists in the process. She was at her best during her junior year, when she racked up seven helpers.
Hedges was a NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team performer in 2009 and 2010.
Joining Gibson and Hedges on the NFHCA All-Region Second Team was Fajardo. After serving as a role player in the early stages of her career, she became one of Mount Holyoke's most feared offensive weapons this season. Of her 28 career goals, 16 came this fall. Though she did her best work in the trenches, tipping in shots from close range, she also became dangerous in the open field. Over her 70 career matches, she dished out eight assists.
Fajardo exploded out of the gate in 2011, recording her first collegiate hat trick in a 12-1 triumph over Regis College (09/08/11). She also found the back of the cage two times in wins over Smith College (09/17/11) and Babson College (10/08/11) earlier this year. Her winner against Babson was the fourth of her career. The forward tacked on two more tallies in her team's 7-2 triumph over Babson in the NEWMAC Semifinals (11/05/11). In addition to her impressive work in the circle, Fajardo was also Mount Holyoke's top defensive forward as a senior.
Mount Holyoke put the finishing touches on one of its most memorable seasons on Sunday, when it topped Plymouth State University 4-2 in the ECAC Championship. The Lyons closed out their 2011 campaign with an overall record of 16-5. They went 6-2 in league play to secure a share of the NEWMAC Regular Season Championship. Their 244 points, 92 goals and 60 assists were all the most in program history for a single season.

Local pharmaceutical companies may no longer be able to avoid patent claims with base-altering strategies, as the Supreme Court has remanded the case regarding the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Astellas against Core Pharm Bio in favor of the plaintiffs on Thursday.
Core Pharm Bio had released A-care before the patent expired in December 2016, by base-altering Solifenacin succinate of Vesicare's, the original drug made by Astellas, to Solifenacin Fumarate.
At the time, the Korean company claimed that A-care does not fall within the scope of the extended patents as it has a different base compound. With the strategy, the company won all lawsuits related to patent infringement and scope of passive rights for the patent filed by Astellas. The Patent Court agreed with Core Pharm and ruled in favor of the company in its first ruling.
The Patent Court ruled that the Patent Law's Article 95, which states that "the effect of the extension patent is limited to the object of the patented invention," does not affect the entire scope of the invention described in the claims, but extends only to the scope of the license for which the extension is registered.
The ruling meant that since Solifenacin Fumarate differs from Solifenacin succinate, companies can release such base-altered drugs before the extended patent expiration date.
Korean and Japanese firms have adopted such "main component" theory to release their product before the patent expiration date.
However, the Supreme Court ruled that the effect of the extended patent rights is not restricted to the implementation of the target "item," but also the criteria for the therapeutic effect and use.
"The extent to which an extended patent is valid is based on whether the medicinal product licensed under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law has the same specific active ingredients, therapeutic effects and uses expected to produce therapeutic effects," the Supreme Court said in its ruling. "Although A-care has a different base compound, it can be easily selected by ordinary technicians."
If the therapeutic effect or the use of the active ingredient absorbed by the human body is substantially the same, the product should be regarded as a patent-infringing product, it added.
With the latest ruling, local firms and experts expect that it will become harder for local companies to use the base-altering strategy as a means of avoiding patents that have an extended duration.

A. No. Although these classes don't list prerequisites, they both require a significant amount of drawing and design skill that you would learn from the earlier studios. Unfortunately, the landscape architecture curriculum is very hard to take out of sequence, which is why we post the graphic patterns (outside of the department office) showing the entire semester at a glance.
If you are really interested in landscape architecture here at Rutgers, there is really only one appropriate way to try it out. You need to wait until the fall semester and take a full slate of landscape architecture classes. To do this, you go to Pam Stewart's office (Blake 113) and get the fall patterns sometime around April. At the end of the fall semester you will submit your design materials from the fall studio and apply for admission to the landscape architecture program.
If you are accepted to the program (in January) you will need to take another 5 consecutive semesters of LA classes as specified in the class patterns. There is very little flexibility in this schedule, so it is best that you get good advising as soon as possible.
If you are not accepted to the program you can still easily move into one of the other options in Environmental Planning and Design, like Environmnetal Planning, Environmnental Geomatics, or Landscape Industry.

The picture above was taken at the Circle for Michael Brown rally and march in New Orleans this Sunday. Organized by the Black Youth Project of NOLA, #BYP100NOLA, the rally began at Lee Circle on the city's famous St. Charles Avenue. The circle is named for confederate general Robert E. Lee, and the organizers noted that in New Orleans, black people are surrounded by memorials to confederate heroes, people who wanted to keep black people enslaved. One organizer and activist, poet A Scribe Called Quess, declared that the Lee monument and others need to come down.
The BYP100 organization is run by and focuses on black people between the ages of 18-35, folks considerably younger than I am, but I went with my daughter. She and I attended the first Ferguson-related rally--National Moment of Silence--in August.
Today's group marched from Lee Circle to Congo Square, Louis Armstrong park, stopping at the midway point on Canal Street to perform a #DieIn. A die-in is a variation of the old fashioned 1960s sit-in. During a die-in, however, protesters lie down and mimic being dead to represent all the black people who have been killed by police. The BYP organization has organized DieIns around the country to protest police brutality in the wake of Mike Brown's killing and Darren Wilson's non-indictment.
The New Orleans organizers also mentioned victims of neighborhood crime, such as young activist George Carter, 15, who was shot to death near his home in October. His body has been described as being "riddled with bullets."
Along with photos, I also captured Vine video at the event.
A little Bob Marley kept the crowd focused while awaiting the beginning of the rally.

Another facet of the protests:
White Allies in the Ferguson Movement

— Nordette Adams (@nordettewrites) November 30, 2014
Black organizers of the rally asked white allies to guard the perimeter to create a buffer between police officers in case an officer became aggressive. According to the speakers (and I have heard of this as a non-violent direct action tactic), white allies played a similar role in some organized protests during the Civil Rights movement. For instance, young white people went down to Mississippi where they had to learn how to take directions from the black people who were being oppressed. Also, they weren't used to being attacked by police officers or white racists themselves either, so there was much to learn.
As the PBS documentary Freedom Summer explains, black activists in the South were tired, and they needed the help of young white activists from the north.
That said, the NOPD, which was not out in high numbers, kept its distance, blocking off streets so the protesters could walk and watching on the sidelines. Nontheless, according to organizers, the police have been highly visible at night when protesters meet at Congo Square/Armstrong Park.
Nearing the End of One Struggle in the Unending Struggle
Promoting inclusion of all members of the African-American community, a number of representatives from various groups spoke to the protesters at Congo Square, such as the director of Women with A Vision, and a young activists representing the LGBTQ community within the black community (young person pictured below). Poets recited their works as well, all part of the drum circle.

Through the Grapevine: Max's putting fun into wine pairings
San Antonio will get a taste of fine wines paired with gourmet food in an upscale, but unpretentious setting, when Max's Wine Dive opens in early September at the Quarry Village.
"We take food and wine very seriously. It's a very chef-driven menu. We're passionate about creating exciting gourmet foods and we're also passionate about bringing on really cool wines from all over the world," founder Jerry Lasco says.
Max's takes the snootiness out of wine and doesn't take itself too seriously, which is evident by its menu and slogan: "Fried chicken and Champagne? ... Why the hell not?!"
"We kind of make fun of the traditional food pairings where people feel intimidated that they may be ordering the wrong wine to go with their food," Lasco says. "We've got hot dogs and shiraz, fried chicken and Champagne. ... The mentality is wine goes well with everything. It particularly goes well with people who have a great attitude or who are with friends and are having fun."
The restaurant and bar has 150 to 200 wine labels, and any wine can be ordered by the glass, with a two-glass minimum. The wine list and menu can be viewed at www.maxs
winedive.com. In addition to being a restaurant and wine bar, Max's also sells bottles and cases to customers. Lasco recently launched the Black Door (www.theblackdoor.com), a site that allows members to sign up to be "blacklisted" to receive wine discounts and information about tastings. It also hosts blogs and wine talks where members can share their opinions.
"What we're really passionate about is talking about wine and food and allowing people to talk about a wine and food," he says.
Lasco fell in love with wine and food when he was a pilot in the Air Force, and later, while working for Continental Airlines in New York. He was able to travel a lot and also went to culinary school and studied wine. He and his wife relocated to Houston and he was furloughed not long after Sept. 11, 2001. Lasco took a job as a salesman at a wine shop and a couple of years later, he and his wife opened the tasting room, which he says began really small.
"It's grown from 900 square feet to almost 8,000 square feet and has been called the largest volume wine sales wine bar in the world. It gets thousands of people who go through there. ... We sell a lot of wine," he says.
They decided to expand on their love of wine and food and opened the first Max's Wine Dive in Houston, followed by an Austin location. The San Antonio location will be open evenings during the week and at 11 a.m. on weekends, with brunch on Sundays.
"Sunday brunch in Houston is one of our biggest days of the week," Lasco says. "We always do fried chicken and Champagne, but for brunch on Sundays, we pair the chicken with waffles or pancakes and Champagne."
The newest creation is red velvet pancakes, which could bring out the kid in anyone. Kids of all ages are welcome, and Steve says brunch and early dinners are popular for families with children, starting with his 7-year-old son, Max, who is the namesake of the bar.
"It's one of his favorite restaurants," he says with a laugh. "I can't say it's his favorite. I hope it's in the top three."

Brazil's novel and highly praised Marco Civil da Internet, essentially an Internet Constitution, has cleared the house and is becoming law. The new law addresses freedom, privacy, and net neutrality and has been in the works since 2009. The recent issues between the NSA and Brazil spurred Dilma to put the bill before the house, where it passed despite some backlash. Prior to the bill there were no specific rules about how ISPs (internet service providers) were required to hold and retain data. Now, the law requires ISPs to hold user data for six months, which will significantly change the practices of some ISPs who, when unregulated, held user data for numerous years. In addition, the law will ensure freedom of speech on the internet, a factor which has been exceedingly popular among the younger generation. Check out some other specifics about the bill here.
So what does this have to do with ICT and our class? We've been discussing the web a lot recently, and it has increasingly become both a powerful mechanism to be used for development, but also a huge threat to national security, sovereignty, and freedom of speech. Especially after Snowden and the NSA occurrences, many nations are a little on edge, especially booming nations like Brazil. Taking steps which establish rules and regulations for things like privacy protection, freedom of speech, and neutrality is indicative of a nation which is both recognizing its erstwhile faults regarding the web and its usage, and taking the initiative to address those faults before they become the source of a national catastrophe. Establishing regulations for privacy on the Brazilian web will allow users a sense of security that Americans are now starting to question, despite having pre-existing rules (though perhaps not all followed) regarding these issues.
But what about developing countries who are leap-frogging to the internet age without time to develop precautionary and protective regulations or measures? These countries have been placed at a huge risk and will need to catch up fast in order to ensure the safety of their citizens and the privacy and security of their citizen's information. It looks like this leap-frog will have to be followed by an even bigger leap-frog.

FINRA Guidance on Social Media Used for Business Purposes
Client Advisory
Use of social media websites for business purposes should be treated no differently from any other business-related electronic communication. Firms must ensure they have sufficient systems, policies and procedures to supervise, review and retain business communications made using social media sites.
Regulatory Notices ("RN") 10-06 and 11-39
In January 2010, FINRA released RN 10-06 to provide guidance to its members on how to handle issues relating to the use of social media websites by firms and their associated persons. Twenty months later in August 2011, in response to questions from members, FINRA issued RN 11-39, supplementing the guidance in RN 10-06. In these regulatory notices FINRA focused on the member firm's recordkeeping, suitability, content and supervision responsibilities with respect to the use of social networking sites and technology used by the firm or its personnel for business purposes.
FINRA stopped short of prescribing the type of procedures that a firm should adopt for this purpose, and relied on the broad statement that "each firm must develop policies and procedures that are best designed to ensure that the firm and its personnel comply with all applicable requirements."
Prior to the use of any social media site for business purposes by an associated person, a registered principal of the firm must review and evaluate the content of the proposed message in the final form in which it will be "launched." Firms should prohibit any associated person from engaging in business communications in a social media site that is not subject to the firm's supervision. Firms should also conduct training and education concerning its policies as they relate to social media.
FINRA makes a distinction between social networking communications and blogs that are "interactive" and those that are "static." Under NASD Rule 2210, a "public appearance" includes participation in interactive blogs and chats. These interactive communications about the business of the firm do not require prior approval by a registered principal. FINRA advises firms that they may want to adopt risk-based procedures to randomly spot-check, search and review such communications to ensure they do violate any FINRA and SEC rules with respect to content or otherwise. However, the software of many firms that archives electronic communications is unable to capture interactive communications on social media sites.
A static posting on a social media site relating to the business of the firm is an "advertisement" under NASD Rule 2210. This means that it requires approval by a registered principal prior to posting. It is possible that interactive content can become static, for example when it is copied and posted in a static forum, in which case it would then require prior approval before posting. More commonly, static information relates to or describes a firm's business and is posted on the "wall" of someone's Facebook page or profile information on LinkedIn. Any material change to this static information will also require prior approval before it can be posted. LinkedIn is a social networking site that is driven primarily by business communications. FINRA states in RN 11-39 that whereas sending a resume to a potential employer could be viewed as not involving firm business, posting a list of products and services offered by the firm likely is a business communication that requires prior approval before posting.
Firms may also have difficulty supervising an associated person who recommends a security to a customer via a social media site. This will generally trigger a suitability obligation or other requirements under the federal securities laws. FINRA has brought disciplinary actions relating to interactive electronic communications that contained misleading statements about the investment products recommended in the communication. RN 10-06 states that as a best practice firms should consider prohibiting all interactive electronic communications that recommend a specific investment product and any link to the recommendation unless the content had the prior approval of a registered principal.
Similar to email and other electronic correspondence of the firm, communications made through social media for business purposes must be preserved for at least three years, for the first two years in an "accessible" place.[1] It does not matter whether the business communication is delivered via a firm-issued or personal device nor whether it is a static or interactive communication so long as the firm can retain, retrieve and supervise the communication. This is precisely the reason that firms should have robust policies and procedures and training and education. Firms should also make it clear to all associated persons that they must engage in business communications only via a firm system which can be retained, retrieved and supervised. Otherwise, firms should ensure that associated persons that are permitted to use their own personal devices for business communications have a separately identifiable application on the device for the business communications that are accessed through a secure portal into the firm's system. This will allow firms to review only the business communications, although FINRA does state that firms are free to treat all communications made through the personal device as business communications.
Third-Party Posts, Links and Websites
Firms must not establish a link to any third-party site which they know or have reason to believe contains false or misleading content. A firm will be responsible for the content of a linked third-party site if the firm "adopts" or becomes "entangled" with its content. FINRA defines adoption to include the firm's endorsement of the content of a third-party site and entanglement where the firm participates in the development of the content of a third-party site. According to FINRA, and pursuant to NASD Rule 2210, a firm or associated person that "co-brands" a third-party website by placing the firm's logo prominently on the site is responsible for the entire site under the adoption theory.
So long as the firm does not adopt or become entangled with a customer or other third-party post on a social networking site, the firm will not be responsible for supervising or retaining the third party's communication. The firm may also delete inappropriate third-party content without being deemed to have adopted the content of that same third-party that was not deleted. Firms may want to consider including a disclaimer on their site to inform investors and/or customers that any third-party statements are not the views of, or endorsed by, the firm. The FINRA Social Networking Task Force has said that some firms monitor third-party posts on firm websites to mitigate the perception of adoption. The Task Force has also stated that other best practices include:
- establishing appropriate usage guidelines for customers and other third-parties that are permitted to post on firm-sponsored websites;
- establishing processes for screening third-party content based on the expected usage and frequency of third-party posts; and
- disclosing firm policies relating to its responsibility for third-party posts.
If a third-party posts a business-related communication on an associated person's personal social media site, the associated person may respond so long as this is done in compliance with the firm's policies and procedures, meaning it is pre-approved by a registered principal and the communication is retained as part of the firm's books and records.
While the advent of social media sites has made a major impact on how business is conducted, firms need to recognize that these sites should be treated no differently than any other medium that is used to communicate for business purposes. So long as this technology is used by the firm or permitted to be used by a firm's associated persons, the firm must have clear policies and procedures to supervise the activities, and systems in place to capture the records of the communications. Firms must also recognize and distinguish between interactive and static content to ensure they are supervised appropriately, and take precaution when dealing with third party links and posts.
All of this can be dealt with the same way that firms currently supervise email and other permitted electronic communications. It starts with the firm having very clear and robust written supervisory policies and procedures.
If you have any questions on anything written herein or require assistance in amplifying and adapting your firm's procedures to deal with this developing technology and the recent FINRA guidance, please contact Ethan L. Silver (212-238-8687, firstname.lastname@example.com) or Faith Colish (212-238-8873, email@example.com).

Ever since viewing the teaser for Inception nearly a year ago I have been eagerly awaiting its theatrical debut. I caught an early matinee screening one week after it opened in order to avoid a critical mass of human contact, and excitedly submerged myself in Christopher Nolan's cinematic dreamscape. The story is simple enough: a group of information thieves, each with a specific job, plan to enter the dream state of a young businessman in order to plant an idea in his head (the act of 'inception'). The film takes us into several layers of the dream realm and ends up creating an interesting lattice of storytelling rarely seen in summer blockbusters. The film mashes together genres such as action, film noir, fantasy, and mystery to create an entertaining and smart film.
Inception was worth the wait, and although it has been over-hyped (I believe that The Dark Knight is Nolan's superior film) it still delivers with memorable visual effects and a creative storyline which was reportedly ten years in the making. The film is well cast, made up of performers that are so irritatingly good looking the film borders on reaching ocular nirvana. The character banter is quick and interesting enough to maintain the attention of the audience over the course of the film's 148 min run time. Leonardo Di Caprio does well as Don Cobb, the film's tragic hero, whose ability to do his job is compromised by the projections of his dead wife which plague his subconscious and create an element of danger for the other dreamers. Hands down the most interesting elements of the film are its action sequences, particularly one spectacular fight scene involving a rotating hallway. Joseph Gordon-Levitt reportedly spent 6 weeks filming the brawl which is perhaps one of the most visually mind boggling and creative fight scenes to grace the big screen in recent years.
The film does have its pitfalls of course. While the dialogue between characters is often sharp and entertaining it easily becomes bloated when used to describe the processes of the dream and other concepts Nolan is trying to explain. Although Nolan feeds each of his characters with enough explanatory data to hold the audience's collective hand through what they are witnessing, some of the scenes are laughable, particularly when attempting to describe the many levels a dreamscape can contain. Even with these blunt attempts of translation some audience members will still lose their bearings of whose dream is whose or lose interest completely (on a second viewing of this film I saw two people walk out and several surrounding me whisper to friends in confusion). Perhaps Nolan's most remarkable feat with this project is that Inception broke the world record for the most amount of times the word 'dream' can be uttered in one film. Finally, Nolan introduces philosophical issues regarding the nature of dreams, reality and human perception to the plot. Although he attempts to touch on the subject several times, Nolan never makes a clear statement and instead leaves the ideas floating without many thoughtful connections. Overall, Inception offers audiences a beautiful and action oriented trip into a dream land, though it lacks a deeper reading into the bigger philosophical questions brought up throughout the story.

Over the years I have had many conversations with people about how to prove their spiritual growth. They seemed to be looking for a way to show others that they were spiritual. My point has been that you cannot prove that you are spiritual. Today we look at that idea.
Thankful Friday
As is our custom, we take a moment on Friday to express our thanks. This week we thank all of our readers for taking the time out of your busy day to read what we write. You have a lot of other things you can be doing – we thank you for making the time for us.
And as always we thank WordPress and FeedBurner. They make the tools available for everyone to read and distribute this site for free. Thanks WordPress and FeedBurner!
There is no external proof
Over the years I have talked to people who had various ideas about how to prove their spiritual growth. Some thought that it was an accumulation of money or possessions. Some thought it was their good personal relationships. Others thought it was the way they meditated.
The point that I have tried to make is that there is no external proof of our spiritual growth. We can make tremendous progress and still not accumulate money or possessions. Conversely, we can achieve great spiritual growth and still accumulate money and possessions. The two are not linked by cause and effect.
In the same way, we can achieve spiritual growth without having a close personal relationship. Although spiritual growth usually improves our relationships, that improvement in our relationships is not proof or our spiritual growth.
The proof is internal
The only "proof" of our spiritual growth comes from our internal knowing that we have grown. We look for signs that only we can see. Are we more peaceful? Do we like ourselves more? Are we more accepting of what happens in our life? Do we see that our spiritual growth is the most important task in our life?
When we look to prove our spiritual growth to others we are looking for validation of ourselves from those people. When we look for validation from others we are engaging in false self behavior. False self needs external validation.
True self needs no external validation or acceptance. True self knows that we cannot prove our spirituality to any one else. Others will either see it or they won't. It makes no difference to true self.
True self knows that we are happy and understands that everyone has their own definition of happiness. True self does not try to prove to them that we are happy. After all, when someone is attached to their definition of happiness – you are not going to prove anything to them any way.
One final note
Here is a mile marker on our spiritual path. When we notice ourselves wanting to prove our spiritual growth – either to ourselves or to others – we need to see that we still have an additional lesson. That lesson is that there is no external proof of our spiritual progress. We need to remind ourselves that the proof will eventually manifest as we become truly happy. As long as we look for that happiness we will not find it. We just have to allow the happiness to be there.
Until Monday –
Es kava turen hai

Maryland Attorney General's office orders phony lawyer to repay $236K
Silver Spring man bilked unsuspecting consumers
The Maryland Attorney General's Office has issued a final order against a phony lawyer who they said bilked unsuspecting consumers of thousands of dollars.
Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler announced Friday that the Consumer Protection Division has issued a final order against Corey W. Hankerson, of Silver Spring, who operated as the Equity Law Group LLC from 2009 to 2011.
Gansler said Hankerson told consumers he was a lawyer and offered to provide legal and credit services such as loan modifications and foreclosure consulting services. Consumers who were already in financial distress paid thousands of dollars in fees to Hankerson for assistance that he failed to provide.
"Con artists like this can make a difficult situation even worse for vulnerable consumers," Gansler said. "It is outrageous that a person would misrepresent himself as a lawyer in order to take advantage of Marylanders struggling for their financial survival."
In November 2011, Hankerson was charged with violating the Maryland Consumer Protection Act, the Credit Services Businesses Act and the Protection of Homeowners in Foreclosure Act.
Hankerson misled consumers by falsely claiming he was a lawyer who could legally provide credit services and foreclosure consulting services.
Hankerson failed to comply with legal requirements contained in the Credit Services Businesses Act and Protection of Homeowners in Foreclosure Act regarding notices and disclosures that must be given to consumers who enter into agreements for credit services and foreclosure consulting services.
Hankerson was ordered to cease misrepresenting his qualifications to consumers and to stop offering credit services unless he obtains the license and posts the bond required by Maryland law. He was also ordered to return all money he took from consumers, including $12,750 that he collected from the six consumer victims who testified in the case.
Gansler said he was also penalized $300 for each of the 787 days he illegally advertised his services, which totals $236,100.
Consumers who want to contact the Consumer Protection Division about this matter can call 410-576-6577.

The Journey Blog
What is the journey blog?
It is the journey of Aitomation (Pvt) Limited. From a no name company to a good one and hopefully one day a great one. It will be a business specific blog. What to do in a business, important lessons and specific guides on how to do certain things. So business tips, guides, lessons and pitfall is what the journey blog is.
Why did we start the journey blog?
There are various reasons why we started the journey blog.
- We wanted to document our journey. Not just to remember it but we feel the journey is the main thing. It's not the destination as they said, it is the journey.
- We wanted to share what we have learned. There are so many things in a business. From taxes to management to software's to applications, it's just too much. It's overwhelming for anyone and everyone almost to start a business. It's much more overwhelming to realize that that you need to figure it out on your own.
- We wanted to learn more. We feel that with this blog we can get a lot of valuable comments, maybe meet some people as well. That can guide us step by step as to what to do next. We can improve and learn from them.
- We need more practical guides rather than theory. As anyone who is been in the business can attest to ideas are worth nothing and execution everything.
Since I am sort of a SEO geek. I do realize that there will be plenty of people that will be coming to the website and that will not be interested in Aitomation. This will increase the bounce rate which in terms will harm the websites overall ranking.
Still we are willing to accept it as we felt that business and entrepreneurship learning and tips which are not just theoretical but practical as well need to be out there more.
What you can expect?
Specific guides for example how to do SEO in a practical way, how to do financing using wave software etc.
General Lessons. What we have learned so far.
The fall avoiders – What specifically not to do.
Part of our blog
Hence this will now be a part of our blog. You can go to journey to read all the blogs in this category.
All the co-founders will be regularly contributing to this blog.
Umair Ahsan– CEO/CTO- Computer engineers can expect a lot of super nerdy and geeky blogs about programming basics to advance.
Shaharyar Ahsan– CMO/ CFO – A lot financial detailed advice. International Business advice and why you should go in depth when you are doing anything.
Saad Ehsan – COO/HR – A lot of general business advice. Advice about SEO, backlinks and keeping your brands reputation. A lot of advice on how to hire.

Poetreecreations.org was kind enough to feature me on their page! Thank you so much again for the opportunity to contribute. Everyone should definitely visit their site; they have a lot of beautiful pieces.
Every word you spoke to me was like an infection,
Eating me out and pulling me in
Fangs sinking deeply into paper-thin skin,
As if my world had been punctured by a syllable
Falling delicately onto my bedspread,
Bouncing onto my lips.
I think the thing that startled me
Wasn't your sickness,
Wasn't the stun you inspired into my mouth and eyes
But the newness,
The unthinkable newness found in something somehow so un-novel,
So unknown,
And it left me hanging sideways
Unable to catch my breath, my walk, my habits-
You were the sharpening of senses I didn't know I had
The unseen whisper that collided with my tongue like flakes of snow.

The Battle of Mom Guilt
It was the end of Hubs' long work weekend and I had the kids to myself for three whole days. I know, so many of you deal with MUCH worse and the thought of a long weekend shouldn't make me want to breathe into a paper bag. But throw in a case of Autism Spectrum Disorder and a toddler that constantly tantrums, and by the end of the weekend, I was daydreaming of life on a Hawaiian Island, alone.
Within minutes of me imagining myself tan and snuggled on a warm beach, the "mom guilt" started. The shameful thoughts of self-loathing for imagining an extended vacation sans children.
I scolded myself for wanting a little freedom from the gifts that God hand-picked for me through the beauty of adoption.
If I REALLY loved my kids, I wouldn't be looking for the nearest exit.
If I REALLY loved my kids I wouldn't snap like a twig when the whining starts.
If I REALLY loved my kids, I would be content and satisfied in my role of motherhood, instead of worn out and weary.
That mom guilt was haunting me and making me feel like a failure.
I have a hunch that I am not the only mom who's felt this way. In fact, in looking back at some conversations I've had with friends, most moms experience guilt in some form or another. They wonder…
Am I doing a good enough job raising my kids?
Am I preparing them enough for school?
Have I spent enough time with them one on one?
I long for some free time and need a break, but I feel SO bad about taking one.
While on a break from the kids, I feel guilty the entire time and wonder if they are alright.
I feel like I have lost myself somewhere along the way and would love something just for me.
I'm a working mom, and I feel guilty because I am away from my kids and have to be intentional about quality time.
I'm a SAHM and feel bad because our family had to cut back on expenses and I wonder if I should be doing more to contribute financially.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
While I can't say there's a cure for mom guilt or that I have it all figured out, I've had a breakthrough on this battle and finally know how to win the war.
Evaluate the situation
It can be hard to be honest and evaluate your reason for guilt. Sometimes you may find that you are over reacting {I come from a long-line of over-reactors so I am with ya, mama!} and that you have no reason to fret. Pray that you'll be able to focus on God's truth, not the lies of the evil one meant to cause you to stumble. When I need to be surrounded by Truth, I love Colossians 3: 2, "Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things". When I focus on God's Truth instead of my own warped version, He is faithful to reveal the reality of the situation.
But, sometimes that mom guilt is a conviction and pressing from the Holy Spirit, and when I evaluate my situation, I see that change is necessary. For example, if you're wondering if you spend enough time with your kids, stop and do something about it. Embrace the change that will help you let go of guilt.
Embrace who YOU are
We are all blessed with different talents and abilities. Sometimes mom guilt gets the best of me when I compare our family to another, and question if what I am doing is enough for my children.
Perfection is smoke and mirrors and you don't have to be saddled with guilt because what another family does looks amazing on the outside. Be proud of who God made YOU to be and relinquish the guilt back to the Lord. He will break those chains that bind.
Give yourself grace
Here's a fact we tend to forget, we are all human. We will all mess up and there will be "bad mom days". There will be days we are thrilled when the littles are in bed and the house is quiet. There will be days when we've snapped and yelled more times than we can count.
Mama, it's ok.
Forgive yourself and move on, knowing tomorrow is another day, and knowing that God has banished those bad mom days as far as the east is to the west. He is faithful to provide you with grace, so allow yourself to lay down the burden of guilt.
Remember you're a person, too
As moms we put ourselves last, sometimes taking the crumbs of what our family leaves behind.
Do you have a tendency to forget you're a person too, and put your self last until you're so completely worn and frazzled there's nothing left to give?
But it shouldn't be that way.
Yes, we are called to serve our families and our spouses, it just doesn't mean you have to lose YOU.
YOU are still a person that matters, with wants, needs and desires that don't have to fall by the wayside when you raise children.
It's ok to dream and want a life beyond the diapers and the dishes.
Motherhood is beautiful, but don't lose yourself!
You don't have to be a slave to mom guilt. When those feelings tug at your heart, may you remember these hints for wrestling with this demon so you can move and experience peace once again!
If you identify with this, you may need to Create a Mom Sanity Plan to help you schedule time for yourself in the hustle and bustle of life.
How do you battle mom guilt when it rears its ugly head?

Great reminder Sarah Ann. Our kids are grown and I still have "mom guilt" at times. Rev says I've perfected it as a fine art. 🙂 I wonder if it's part of the job description. Thank you for reminding us that it doesn't have to be. Blessings!

My heart breaks for you Friend. Mark 6:30-32 comes to mind as I read this. You are in ministry– your children may be your biggest ministry assignment ever (as I am sure you are well aware). Jesus tells us ministry leaders need breaks. Hawaii sounds like a good break 🙂 . Wanting a break is different than wanting to be DONE. When I hear you say you want out, and to just be done, THEN I will worry about you.
Listening to the Holy Spirit's pull on our soul is excellent advice. When Satan attempts to shame us with lies, the Spirit is there ever so gently to lead us back toward a winning walk.
Will be praying for you this week.

THank you for sharing your post at this week's Mom's Morning Coffee linkup!
I admit that I became a little choked up with emotions when I read this post. I, too, feel the guilt at times.
BUT, each of us with kids does not need to minimize our situation or compare them with others. They matter to us in our own way. Also, it's okay to get overwhlemed or want some time away from our kids. At some point, sooner or later, the kids get tired of us, too. They want a change of scenery, too.
This may sound easy for me to say now, but it took me several years and four kids to realize this. haha
Have a terrific Wednesday!

I know exactly how you feel with "mom guilt". My husband is in the Army and there are times when he is gone for weeks or months at a time. I left my family and friends behind when I married my husband and moved with the Army. During those long times he's away and I'm dealing with the children Nap time and bed time have become my "sanity times". You really do need to give yourself permission to refill your cup for time to time.
Love your blog and post and I look forward to following you.

Thank you for this. I work full time out of the home and there are often times I feel guilty about all that I miss with my daughter. We're miraculously expecting number 2 and I already struggle with the guilt. I know I'm called to be a teacher and love my job but I'm also a mom and it's hard to find the balance sometimes. Thanks for this 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm glad I'm not alone in my mom guilt 🙂 I know it in my head, but I can feel so alone with it in my heart. It's easy no matter what situation you're in, as you pointed out – whether you're a working or stay-at-home mom. I have a hard time forgiving myself in general, and doubly so when it comes to my little one, but I'm so grateful for the reminder. A friend gave me this advice, too, which has helped me when I feel the guilt: God picked you to be his mom, and him to be your child 🙂

I've only been a mom for two months, but I wish I figured out how to manage the mom guilt because it's definitely been taking over. Lately, I've been feeling guilty for my inability to contribute financially since being on maternity leave while my husband works all day. Even though I love being mom, I feel guilty for missing the life I used to have before having my son. I wish I figured out how to deal with this guilt, but I'm only two months in so maybe I should stop being so hard on myself.
Becki Svare October 14, 2016 (10:22 am)
A great reminder! I find it easier to show others grace and forget it's ok (and necessary) to show myself that same grace! thanks

Real leadership isn't an opportunity to dictate; it's a call to greater service. It's grounded in humility. It doesn't self-serve; it builds others up, and understands that vulnerability is as equally important as strength. It shows kindness to the lesser, and respect to the greater.
Real leadership doesn't complain; it asks how we can improve, together. It listens, it empathizes. It resists ego, and recognizes good work. It breeds optimism. It empowers people and gives them a voice.
Real leadership endures, bleeds, and sacrifices for those it serves. It speaks truth, and never sinks to falsehood, no matter the cost. It accepts defeat; it accepts victory in stride.
Real leadership, above all, is grounded in wisdom.
