There has not been much good economic news for businesses since the Collateralised Debt Obligation (CDO) crisis brought such problems. It had not been anticipated and Wall Street's financial expertise was brought into question. For a few years businesses found that the market had diminished and several were forced to look closely at costs as well as revise previous forecasts on turnover. There has been recovery recently but there is still some work to do.
The car industry has had its problems in recent years. The recession meant that spending on luxury goods diminished, in some situations quite markedly. People had to look very closely at their spending and one of the easy decisions was obviously to delay changing a car. In response, motor manufacturers had to double their efforts to sell their range or face closing down their production lines. Colour brochures are one of the major marketing tools that their dealerships offer to potential customers who walk into showrooms.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders announced last October that the previous month had been their best for 10 years and there had been increases each month for 31 months. New car sales in the first nine months of 2014 were 9% up on the equivalent period in 2013.
Those looking to buy a new car are looking for quality. It means that manufacturers and dealerships have to ensure their marketing is aimed at convincing potential buyers that they are buying into that quality; including all promotional material used, so it normally requires finding a professional company to do high-quality brochure printing. A good quality brochure is the tangible marketing publication that those considering a purchase can take away with them and read in their own time.
Similarly, brochures are the best way to provide details of new products that companies are introducing to the market place. Whether a company is inviting guests to the launch of a new product or hiring space at an exhibition stand it is important that people can take something tangible away with them. A brochure won't contain anything that will not be included on a company's website but there are still many people who like to read through the pages of something they are holding in their hands. It is particularly important at an exhibition when people may visit a number of stands and walk away with a bag full of marketing material from a series of companies.
Good printing services will assist with artwork if necessary and provide a sample for checking before proceeding to the print run. It is essential that the promotional literature produced to support quality products conveys that same quality. Companies seeking quotes for promotional literature such as brochures and leaflets should talk to companies that have established a reputation for service and for meeting the deadlines.

Thank you for getting curious about the Capturing Joy Project. This project is near and dear to my heart as it comes from my heart. The Capturing Joy Project was created to help me get out of a dark place. After my dad passed away of cancer last January, I disconnected from joy. For those who know me, know that this is a biggie. When you are an optimistic, happy-go-lucky, kinda gal, losing joy is crushing. Crushing not only for me, but also those I love and care about.
Photography and creativity are powerful for me and have also helped me in the past overcome difficult times as both bring me joy. I have been a photographer for most of my life and I love being able to freeze moments and have it printed as a reminder. In my 30's, I combined entrepreneurship and creativity to form a pretty awesome business, which allowed me to leave a not so awesome career. Ten years later, I am here to share with all of you, how creativity and photography have improved how I see joy in my life.
The Capturing Joy Project goes beyond being creative and taking pretty pictures. I wanted to share that in order for us to connect with joy, that we needed to be more aware of it. This means that we need to be present and mindful of the world around us. We need to be present and mindful of how we are truly feeling. We also need to be aware of what we are focusing on.
After losing my dad, I grieved, and it was so important that I did. I acknowledged that I missed him like crazy, and that I had wanted more time with him. And our phone calls... boy, did I miss our chats. I sat on the couch eating and watching entire series of Netflix shows... I was avoiding and numbing my grief with all these distractions that were not helping me move through my grief. I could feel my joy slipping further away each day as I did this.
Two months in, I knew I had to shift my focus. My dad was no longer here physically, which meant that he was no longer in physical pain. Despite my dad's illness, he and I grew super close and I was able to be there holding his hand as he left this world...a true gift. I knew that I was not alone, as so many of us have lost a parent(s) or loved one. I also knew in my heart and with all my faith, that my dad was okay and still a part of my life (just in a more subtle way). By shifting my focus...I began to see my grief differently. To be clear, I am still grieving and that is okay...it just means that I miss my dad. I choose to focus on the beauty that I am surrounded by and to see the joy in my life. I also choose to surround myself with really awesome people who love me so very much.
I love that I can now share this with others. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, have been through a difficult break-up, going through financial difficulties, not loving your job...or maybe even your life. The Capturing Joy Project will help you seek the beauty and joy in your life, capture it with your camera phone, reflect on it and share it with others.
Take a piece of paper and write out 5 things that bring you joy.
If you would like to learn how to take better images with your phone, join me and other joy seekers in the next Capturing Joy Project Workshop taking place on September 12th. Click the link below to join us.

17 Up. Avto keeps on winning. October 12 round-up
12 October 2018, 23:15 Daily Round-up
Andy Potts
Early-season leader Avtomobilist posted its 17th straight victory, downing Sibir 4-1 to stretch its advantage at the top of the table. CSKA was close to a shock defeat at home to Admiral before winning in a shoot-out, SKA eased past Severstal on two Pavel Datsyuk goals.
Avtomobilist motors on
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg 4 Sibir Novosibirsk 1 (0-0, 2-0, 2-1)
On paper, the mismatch could hardly have been greater. Runaway leader Avtomobilist, undefeated all season, took on rock bottom Sibir – an opponent with only two wins to its name.

However, even if the home team's class told in the end, this game was closer than expected for a time. The opening period, goalless, offered little to separate the two teams: a gulf in the championship table was reduced to a fine margin in head-to-head battle. Avtomobilist had the edge, but Sibir showed that it was capable of competing and creating chances at the other end.
Avtomobilist stepped up a gear after the intermission and the extra pace brought immediate rewards. First, Mikhail Mamkin opened the scoring with his first goal of the season. Then came a flurry of penalties for Sibir and one of those power plays was converted. Francis Pare got the goal, Nigel Dawes claimed an assist to stretch his productive run to 10 games. That equals Fyodor Malykhin's club record in the KHL for Avto.
In the third period, Sibir finally got on the scoresheet with a power play goal from Alexander Loginov, his first of the season. However, it wasn't enough to affect the outcome: the home team added further tallies through Stepan Khripunov and recent signing Evgeny Grachyov.
Red Star extends Dinamo's losing run
Dinamo Riga 1 Kunlun Red Star 3 (0-1, 0-1, 1-1)
It was a battle of the brothers in Riga as Dinamo's Mikelis Redlihs lined up against Krisjanis, recently signed by Red Star.
And it was the visitor, making his debut in the arena where he represented Dinamo for 10 seasons, who ended up on the winning side as Kunlun avenged a 2-4 loss in Shanghai last month to record its third win in four games.
Ville Lajunen broke the deadlock in the 15th minute, taking a touch before firing home Taylor Beck's pass from behind the net. The Finnish defenseman had a hand in the second as well, shaping to shoot before wrong-footing the home team with a pass to Olli Palola for a power play goal as the second period drew to a close.
Dinamo made a game of it, pulling a goal back on the power play through Andris Dzerins. At that stage, with eight minutes to play, the home team had hopes of snapping its five-game losing run. But those hopes were ended by Brandon Yip's empty netter and Dinamo's frustrations boiled over as Dmitry Shulenin got embroiled in a fight with the scorer.
Datsyuk double downs Severstal
SKA St. Petersburg 2 Severstal Cherepovets 0 (0-0, 2-0, 0-0)
A pair of second-period goals from Pavel Datsyuk were enough to lift SKA past Severstal.
This was a routine game enlivened by a couple of moments of magic. First, in the 27th minute, Datsyuk executed a sharp turn in the corner to leave the visiting defense wide open. Advancing to the net, he then beat young goalie Alexei Artamkin with a backhand shot. Later in the middle frame, he bagged a second on the power play. This time it was an angled finish after Nail Yakupov won the puck on the slot and delivered a pass for his team-mate.
Severstal battled throughout but rarely managed to apply sustained pressure on Igor Shestyorkin's net. The SKA goalie made 32 saves for his shut-out.
Shalunov saves CSKA
CSKA Moscow 2 Admiral Vladivostok 1 SO (0-0, 0-1, 1-0, 0-0, 1-0)
Admiral came within four minutes of an upset win in Moscow – but Maxim Shalunov spared CSKA from a surprise defeat with a late equalizer and a shoot-out winner.

The home team was always dominant in terms of shots and attacking possession, but struggled to find a way past Anton Krasotkin in the visiting net. The young goalie made 37 saves across 65 minutes to earn his team a point – but he was moments away from claiming the win.
Admiral, often out-gunned, took the lead against the run of play when Sergei Konkov scored on the power play midway through the second period. That lead endured until the 57th minute, when Konstantin Okulov's pass released Shalunov and he converted his one-on-one chance to tie the scores. Overtime could not separate the teams, but Shalunov applied the finishing touch to the shoot-out. Okulov also scored in the shoot-out, while Lars Johansson made three saves from four attempts.
Loko too strong for Dinamo
Dinamo Minsk 2 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl 5 (1-0, 0-2, 1-3)
Two quick goals at the start of the second period turned this game around and helped Lokomotiv move to within a single point of third-placed Jokerit.
Dinamo, bottom of the Western Conference after four straight losses, took the lead midway through the first period through Quinton Howden. That lead lasted until the intermission, despite a run of Lokomotiv pressure.
The visitor made the breakthrough seconds after the restart. Vladislav Kartayev tied the game within a minute – Daniil Apalkov got the first of his three assists – then Loko's youngsters combined for Rushan Rafikov to put the Railwaymen in front. Dinamo's cause was further hampered when Artyom Artyomov was ejected from the game late in the middle frame for a high hit but the host managed to kill the major penalty and remain in contention at the start of the third.
In the final session, Andrei Loktionov added a third before Apalkov's second assist of the game helped Denis Alexeyev make it 4-1. Dinamo appealed the goal, was denied and took a bench minor for its pains. The pressure on the home net intensified, a second penalty followed and eventually Petri Kontiola potted the power play goal off Apalkov's third helper of the game. Dmitry Buinitsky pulled one back almost straight away, but there was to be no late drama from Dinamo.

English Literature » Notes » John Donne's "The Sun Rising"- a Love Poem
John Donne's "The Sun Rising"- a Love Poem
Notes / Words: 463 / February 13, 2020 February 13, 2020
Alternate question: Justify The Sun Rising as a Love Poem.
The Sun Rising is a typical love poem by John Donne, characterized by his usual vigor, sprightliness and freshness. This poem, like most of Donne's love-poems is inspired by the poet's love for his wife, Anne Moore. Donne's love amounts to a passion. It is a perfect synthesis of the spiritual and physical love. The supremacy of love which transcends both time and space, for it knows 'no season and no climes' is established with a daring jugglery of words.
In the opening stanza, the sun is addressed as "busy, old fool" flashing his light into the lover's bedroom, perhaps with the intention of waking up and parting them. In a tone of dramatic monologue, the poet lover reprimands the Sun and calls it names for disturbing love making. Instead he may go about his trivial errands like pulling up 'late school boys' and lazy apprentices who hate to work. The country ants and courtiers may knuckle under his authority but not so the lovers. Love is above time, which is regulated by the sun. For lovers, seasons, hours and days have no meaning.
The Sun is the supreme power-house of the world. Yet it should not brag over it. The poet lover could eclipse and could the beams of the Sun with a wink. He does not do so because he does not wish to "loose her right so long." . In hyperbolic language he asks the sun if the eyes of his beloved are not brighter than sunlight. Gazing into her eyes, the sun may feel dazzled. All the assets of mines of the West Indies and spices of the East Indies are more valuable than his lady love in the bed.
The lovers in Donne's poem are the archetypal ideas or the soul of the world:
She's all slates, and all princes I;
Together they constitute the soul of the world. The pomp and majesty of a king is then a mere imitation of the glory attained by lovers. Compared to their spiritual wealth, all material wealth seems counterfeit. The poet-lover offers it the needed ease. The Sun's duty is warming the world. It warms only half of the world at a time. By shining on the lover's bed it can shine over the whole world at a time.
The Sun Rising is one of the most successful love poems of Donne. As a poet of love he can be an extreme realist and deals with the physical side of it as also its spiritual side. Here he treats of a situation very significant for wedded lovers, but unusual in the poetry of love—two lovers in bed who refuse to get up when the sun shines on them in the morning.

There really isn't much remarkable about the stretch of road between Longmont and Lafayette, except for the intrepid paperbacks that wave their pages at passing motorists.
For more than two months, romance novels and other books typically found on thrift store clearance shelves have somehow made their way into the center lane of U.S. 287, occasionally traversing as far north as Longmont's Main Street and 3rd Avenue intersection.
Even though Colorado Department of Transportation employees begrudgingly come out and clear the tomes from the road when they crop up, the books often reappear the next morning for several weekdays in a row.
Area residents and drivers who use the busy thoroughfare have speculated on whether the books fall off an overstuffed truck accidentally or come from someone more deliberate.
"I can tell exactly how you do it because I have seen the patterns so many times now - You grab several at a time and callously flip them out your driver's side window," Reddit user Seventytvvo speculated in a December open letter to the perceived book dumper. "Then, taking your time, you grab a few more - probably stacked on your empty ... passenger seat - and throw another handful. The result of this are the clusters of 3-8 books every several hundred yards."
Bookstore owners in both Lafayette and Longmont lamented the fate of the books, saying that while the Harlequin romance genre tends to be hard to get rid of, charities and used book shops would surely rather have them than not.
"I'm thinking 'bring me those books, don't just throw them on the street,'" said Louisville's Book Nook store owner Nancy Adams, adding that when her staff transports batches of used books from warehouses, they use a hatchback so freedom-minded paperbacks can't escape.
Kathe Heinecken, the owner of Barbed Wire Books in Longmont, said there has to be a better use for the unwanted texts.
"You could build a castle out of them or a playhouse or something," Heinecken said. "They're just being reduced to pulp...it sounds a little nefarious."
A man who asked to remain anonymous told the Times-Call he'd seen someone driving an older, beat up black dump truck with a blue tarp in the inner northbound lane in December.
"The books were just flying back," he said. "It looked to be full of books and the tarp was not really secured or anything."
The dump truck/unsecured tarp possibility would explain the books deposited along that particular section of road where the speed limit peaks at 65 mph. Still, the amount of books required to fill a truck makes Heinecken skeptical.
"I used to drive a truck and that would be a huge load for a whole dump truck...and no bookstores have closed down lately," she said. "I get the feeling it's something on the commercial level rather than someone just getting rid of Aunt Elsie's old books or something."
A representative from Front Range Landfill, the nearest landfill or dump, said that books could very well be coming in on trucks, but the facility requires that truck drivers secure their load in transit.
Barbara Butterworth, owner of the Book Cellar in Lafayette, had yet another theory.
"I honestly think it's bizarre and unusual for someone to either have lost or dropped the books in the center of the lane like that," Butterworth said. "I wonder if it's some kind of message that the rest of us just don't understand."
Lauren Greenfield, the coordinator for Longmont's Arts in Public Places program, said she hadn't heard of any local art project involving discarding paperbacks in the road. AIPP wouldn't endorse such a project that promoted littering, she added.
Linda Uhrich, co-owner of the Used Book Emporium in Longmont, summed up the mystery succinctly.
"Somebody's doing something strange," she said.


We provide a library of bicycles available to checkout for free. That's right! It doesn't cost you a cent when you checkout a bicycle from Aggie Blue Bikes. Nor does it cost you upon returning the bicycle, unless you have treated it irresponsibly. Since Aggie Blue Bikes is a student-fee funded program, your cost to use the program ($2.75 per semester) is covered with your student fees!
All bikes are checked out on a first-come, first-served basis, with the exception of race bikes, which require reservations.
You must provide and present your own lock at time of checkout, unless you are checking out a beach cruiser for the day, which we will provide a lock for. We recommend a U-Lock, because they are the most secure. If you elect to use a cable lock, it must be at least 10mm in diameter (see lock packaging for size).
Also known as our 'Aggie Blue Bikes', these bicycles are intended to be a reliable form of transportation. Cycling is a inexpensive, fun, accessible way to transport yourself, and these Aggie Blue Bikes make it even easier because we take care of ALL the maintenance for you! That's right; having trouble shifting, we can fix it. One thing to remember, all of our Aggie Blue Bikes are donated bikes that we then refurbish and transform.
Please visit our FAQ tab for answers to some of our commonly asked questions about our Aggie Blue Bikes.
Daily checkouts are available for a 24-hour period unless you check it out on Friday, in which case you get it all weekend!
Most users of our daily checkouts are folks who want to go for a short ride, need a quick alternative to walking, have a minor setback with their own bike, are waiting for a three month checkout, or need a race bike for competitive cycling events. 24-hour checkout bikes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Race Bikes **Please note that these race bikes can be checked out only for races.** Please come in the week before your race and we will happily get you sized to one of these race specific bikes. We cannot check these out to you if you don't have a race coming up, sorry!
If you are having a tough time getting a three month checkout or sad to return your three month checkout we would encourage you to apply to the Commuter Club. You can check out a bike for an entire year. This is a great option for those that are interested in owning a bike but not sure that they can finacially commit to it. All we ask is you schedule time for a tune every three months and perform basic maintenance on your checkout (pumping the tires, lubing the chain, etc.). If you don't get a bike, enroll anyway-you'll get a free locker from the HPER out of it and an emergency ride home.

Medical pot providers stage farmers market in Tacoma
A smiling bouncer in a black skull and crossbones sweatshirt stood guard Sunday outside the door to a rented room where marijuana wafted through the air and reggae music pulsated.
But only those with medical marijuana authorization forms gained entrance to an event billed as the state's first cannabis farmers market.
"These are farmers growing agricultural medicine, so it seemed like a no-brainer," said Jeremy Miller, organizer and owner of Sacred Plant Medicine. "It's a place where people can network with other patients in similar situations."
Miller brought in just six vendors for the "dry run," unsure of how many people would attend the event on South Tacoma Way. Its success means he may be able to make it a monthly affair from here on out.
It was held at the Conquering Lion, a gathering place and music venue expected to open soon.
The walls and floor were painted black. Two banners for Sacred Heart Medicine were draped on the wall. A table with brochures and stacks of the magazine "West Coast Cannabis" welcomed visitors.
Vendors preferred different terms – farmers, caregivers, providers. Half declined to give their names, but were happy to explain their products and how they could help people with various aches and pains.
A steady stream of patients filtered in and out, spending time at each booth before deciding which marijuana products appealed most. Some stayed for hours, socializing with friends or sharing a joint.
"Something like this lets people come get what they need in a safe environment," said Justin Kravis, whose Kravi Crops booth attracted many.
His offerings were plentiful. He had about 6 ounces of different marijuana strains marked in clear jars. There was White Widow and Pandora's Box and Moonwreck.
Next to a scale and plastic baggies were brownies, Rice Krispies treats and chocolate chip cookies. Two hours after the market opened, he had only two $20 clone plants left. (A clone plant is a way to reproduce the same strain of marijuana.)
It is illegal to sell marijuana, and state-authorized providers are allowed to grow cannabis for only one patient at a time. That's why the farmers donated their products to the patients and patients in turn donated money to the farmers.
"For those few minutes, (the farmer is) that one person's caregiver," explained one man who declined to give his name.
On the opposite side of the room, Kathy Parkins had set up her "Cannaceuticals" booth and was busy educating patients about the effects of eating marijuana rather than smoking it.
She offered snickerdoodles, chocolate fudge, triple chocolate cake, and fish and oyster stew mix for $5. Her hashish lollipops quickly sold out, but there were plenty of spiced tea bags and canisters of marijuana lotion.
"This is a central location for all people who have cannabis products but don't have a store front," said Parkins, 54.
She said she has been cooking for medical marijuana patients for nine years, is working on a cookbook and even gives talks at cancer institutions.
Although everyone seemed to relish the mellow vibe inside the market, at least one vendor admitted that he had been nervous bringing in his products.
"I was kind of paranoid coming down here," said Greg, who offered a smile but no last name. "You've gotta worry. It's still marijuana."
Many of the patients there to shop appeared to be in their 20s. But several others said they were in their 50s or 60s. Some used canes to walk, and at least one man came in a wheelchair.
Ric Smith said he began using medical marijuana after first being diagnosed with HIV. In addition, he uses pot to treat leukemia, kidney failure and help with a recent stroke.
He's fond of saying, "Munchies save lives." Marijuana "helped me to eat," Smith said. "With all the operations and procedures and side effects, I had no appetite. Munchies saved my life."

New Mexico Policy Priorities
NEW MEXICO 2019 STATE POLICY PRIORITIES
Empowering Health Care Providers to Support Individuals with Alzheimer's and Other Dementias
Data and research have proven the significance of early support for those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. That first level of support most often begins with care providers, as they have a critical role in the early detection and timely diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients. Empowering our providers and clinicians with awareness and knowledge of validated cognitive assessment tools, the Medicare Annual Wellness visit for cognitive health benefit, and the new Medicare care planning billing code for individuals with cognitive impairment is part of a multi-year strategy developed by our Chapter. The strategy includes engaging with state agencies to form meaningful partnerships and to help secure adequate resources necessary to fulfill this initiative.
Providing Alzheimer's Education in New Mexico for New Mexico
The prevalence of Alzheimer's is found to be higher among Hispanic and Native Americans population groups when compared to others. This is especially alarming for our state given New Mexico has a large Hispanic and Native American population. Because of this, the Chapter is working to grow its partnerships with relevant state agencies to produce and disseminate culturally-appropriate public health campaigns throughout the state to to drive public awareness of the known early warning signs of Alzheimer's, as well as to share the importance of early detection and diagnosis and annual wellness check-ups.
Measuring the Impact of Alzheimer's in New Mexico
Data collection is an essential public health tool for understanding the current prevalence of public health trends, such as Alzheimer's disease. In our state, the New Mexico Department of Health conducts a statewide survey each year called the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), which returns key insights on the public health issues facing our communities. Our Chapter in 2018 , as well as in prior years, was selected by the Department to submit a set of questions to be included in the 2019 Survey. These questions will focus on cognitive decline, and the data attained through the Survey will then be used by our Chapter and the appropriate officials and policymakers to measure the impact and to develop an effective and appropriate response.
Preparing our Health Care Workforce to Address Alzheimer's
New Mexico's percentage of its population age 65 and older will jump from being 29th to the 4th largest in the nation. The time is now for our state to start investing and building a system that will provide for a robust workforce that specializes in gerontology, geriatrics, and dementia. If left unprepared to provide an adequate healthcare workforce for the changing age demographics to come, there could be a shortage crisis that could devastate our state. To help avoid this, our Chapter is engaging our legislature and other state entities, along with education institutions and the private sector, to develop a pipeline that would bolster and sustain a workforce with these needed professionals.
Enhancing the Care of Individuals with Alzheimer's
New Mexico workers in dementia care and patients receiving this care would benefit greatly from a state policy that enhances the current training regulations of all direct service, administrative, supervisory, and other staff who are involved in the delivery of care to those with Alzheimer's and other dementias in licensed long-term care facilities, the home, and adult day settings. The need for this policy adoption is critical as seniors with Alzheimer's and other dementias have, on average, twice as many hospitalizations each year and four times as many skilled nursing facility stays as seniors without Alzheimer's. To address this, we will engage and collaborate with partners across all areas of care delivery in the healthcare system to advocate for this necessary regulatory change to build a complete, competent and well trained workforce.
Preparing Adult Protective Services to Serve People with Alzheimer's
The Association works with first responders and Adult Protective Service Workers to provide them with proven training and education that helps to ensure safe and professional interactions when dealing with someone who shows signs of Alzheimer's. In New Mexico, we are working with leaders of the first responder community and APS workers to implement this necessary training.
Increase Access to Home and Community-Based Services
Supporting Individuals with Alzheimer's Through Increased Medicaid Services
Sufficient coverage of a core set of person-centered, dementia-competent, and dementia-specific home and community-based services has the potential to be cost effective on state resources while also being supportive of the dignity of those affected who prefer to stay in their community and in their home while receiving care. The Alzheimer's Association, NM Chapter understands this and will actively pursue - working with its partners in the public and private sector - strategic ways expand access to Medicaid eligible home and community based services.
Enhance the Quality of Care in Residential Settings
Reviewing Reimbursement Rates to Improve Quality of Care
Alzheimer's and other dementias drive the cost burden for residential facilities who care for people afflicted by the disease up significantly. This is why the Alzheimer's Association, New Mexico Chapter understands that maintaining Medicaid reimbursement rates and payment structures at appropriate levels are central to ensuring quality care. The Chapter actively engages in discussions with its partner organizations to regularly review reimbursement rates.
New Mexico State Plan Overview
View New Mexico's State Plan
In 2012, the Alzheimer's Disease Task Force established by House Memorial 20 was convened by the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department to assess the impact of, and make recommendations for, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias within the state. The Task Force was comprised of leaders of state agencies, health care providers, caregivers, individuals living with the disease, as well as representatives from academia and tribal organizations. After collecting input from public town hall meetings to gather plan recommendations, the Task Force published the New Mexico State Plan for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias in 2013.
New Mexico State Advocacy Day
The Alzheimer's Association, New Mexico Chapter held on January 30, 2019, a monumental Alzheimer's Awareness and Advocacy Day at the Roundhouse. Notable activities from the day included a meeting between Governor Lujan Grisham and nearly 75 volunteer advocates of our Chapter. Also, these advocates visited the offices that morning of their legislators to ask for their support on our priority legislation, a bill intended to strengthen the Silver Alert notification system and one that did eventually pass the legislature unanimously. We are looking forward to planning our next Alzheimer's Awareness and Advocacy Day at the Roundhouse next year. Check back for the details in December.

Lessons from the Field: Dr. Gerardo Blanco
Posted on October 17, 2018 by Madeleine Chill
Like many in the field of higher education and student affairs, Dr. Gerardo Blanco traces his career choice back to his undergraduate years. As a very involved undergraduate student, Blanco says, he found mentors who helped him realize that ensuring a positive experience for college students could be a profession in itself. "What was a little different for me than for many others in my field is that pursuing this pathway required international mobility," says Blanco.
Blanco is originally from Mexico and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies from Universidad de las Américas Puebla, an institution he says was rich with student organizations and campus activism. Nevertheless, once he decided that he wanted to pursue further study and a career in higher education and student affairs, he realized that his options in Mexico were limited.
"In my experience," explains Blanco, "international mobility and the pursuit of higher education have been intertwined."
Beginning his Master of Education (M.Ed.) at the University of Maine was a crucial moment for Blanco. He completed his M.Ed. in 2007 and continued to deepen his New England perspective at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he completed his Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.) in 2013. New England, he says, holds a special significance for him both because of his personal experience and the richness of education in the region.
After earning his Ed.D., Blanco spent five years as an assistant professor of higher education at the University of Massachusetts Boston and spent the summers of 2016, 2017, and 2018 as a visiting professor at Shaanxi Normal University in Xi'an, China. This fall, Dr. Blanco joined UConn's Neag School of Education, where he brings his expertise to the Higher Education and Student Affairs master's program.
As a teacher, Dr. Blanco believes that students are in charge of their own learning, and highlights that the relational aspect is the most rewarding part of his work. "Students know what they need," says Blanco. "My role is facilitating interactions that promote reflection and learning."
Broadly, Blanco's research looks at how decision-makers understand quality in the context of higher education, particularly the relationship between quality and internationalization. That relationship might appear obvious on the surface, he says, since the number of international students often plays a role in ranking universities, but for Blanco it's deeper than that. "My research asks questions such as: How do we understand higher education as an international endeavor?," says Blanco, "And how does that connect with our ideas about quality?"
"I think higher education has a great potential for empowering people and interrupting inequality, and I'm very interested in how this connects with the international mobility of programs, of people, of ideas."
At first glance, says Blanco, his focus on assessment, accreditation, and quality can sound a bit dry. But to him this focus on the "everyday" is precisely what he finds so fascinating. "Most of us spend the majority of our careers in tasks that feel everyday, routine, even taken-for-granted," says Blanco. "Given the volume of these experiences, I think it's worthwhile to explore them. When we look very closely at the work that we do, we can carry out that work in a way that is more thoughtful, more self-aware."
Looking ahead, Blanco is excited to pursue new research exploring the experiences of international students and scholars. The topic is not only personally important to him; he's also interested in the intersections of being an international student or scholar with other personal experiences, like career decisions and immigration status. "We tend to explore all those separate topics, but not always in dialogue with each other," says Blanco.
The connection between scholarship and practice is central to Dr. Blanco, and he maintains a strong professional network that helps him stay connected with the issues that are pressing for scholars and practitioners across the field. "I always have practice and practitioners in mind as I am conceptualizing a research study," says Blanco. He also hopes that his research process itself can create a space for reflection for the busy professionals who work in assessment and institutional research. "When I'm conducting interviews, it's not rare for people to say to me, 'oh that's interesting, no one has ever asked me what I think about my work,'" says Blanco. "I hope that the interviews and the research process themselves can be an opportunity for people to reflect about their practice."
"The more we reflect, the more we can transform our practice as professionals."

In the early afternoon, crowds gather to listen to a parade of party candidates and spokespeople expound on their positions and to make promises. Sadly, the crowd hears very little of this because the main purpose now is to drown out the opposing speakers with catcalls and offensive remarks.
The parties bus in the leather-lunged much as the Kremlin used to bus in fans to applaud the unelected Communist speakers in Red Square on May Day. It's impossible to conduct a debate when the object is to drown out the debaters. The event has become a reality TV show with the press relegated to a panel of critics judging the relative merits of the one-liners and zingers hurled at the opposition.
That point was made crystal clear last year when the chosen emcee was a noted comedian. It should have been held at Comedy Off Broadway, not at Fancy Farm.
The press have become willing and, I think, conscious participants in this useless farce. For many, Fancy Farm is a weekend away from the wife on the company's dime. Journalism now has become little more than a constant pursuit of the extreme, the emotional and the useless.
Proof? Have you watched any so-called local "news" lately? It's nothing more than the police blotter with words and pictures. TV news has become like a video game. Print journalism seems intent on competing with this by copying it.
All of this reflects the reality and the demise of our political system generally. Our political process is one long show with scripted, choreographed events designed to accommodate TV's emotional appeal at the expense of rational reflection.
Candidates don't so much press the flesh and interact with the voters as they are actors strutting and fretting their expensive hours on the stage propounding sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Is it any wonder, then, that that system has produced two of the most unpopular and despised candidates for president in our history? We do, indeed, reap what we sow.

Rewind Review – The Savage Sword of Conan #10 (Marvel)
Posted on May 5, 2020 in Marvel Reviews
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writer: Roy Thomas
Artwork: Alan Davis, Cam Smith
Colours: Chris Sotomayor
Lettering: VC's Travis Lanham
Announced at the Portsmouth Comic Con in 2019 as "a prequel to the classic Conan tale People Of The Black Circle by Robert E. Howard", Roy Thomas' storyline for issue ten of Marvel's Savage Sword Of Conan certainly must have seemed to this book's slowly dwindling 20,367-strong audience like something that the Barbarian's creator himself might have penned. For whilst it has been nearly fifty years since Stan Lee's successor first brought the Cimmerian to the pages of Marvel Comics" it's clear from this publication's marvellous mix of brutal knife-fighting, treacherous double-dealing and Hill Code violations that the Will Eisner Award Hall of Famer can still replicate the qualities which made the sword and sorcery hero such a success within the black-and-white pages of "one of the most popular comic series of the Seventies."
To begin with, the former editor-in-chief immediately throws the reader straight into the action by having "the Western dog" apparently fighting for his life in a local tavern confrontation with Guptar the Argossean. Staged simply to allow the bronzed barbarian to earn some additional coin courtesy of him holding back until certain bets are waged, the match predictably results in a win for the titular character, but also pleasantly progresses the plot by securing for him a job as one of two bodyguards for Lady Serra.
This is a neat way of providing any perusing bibliophile with a modicum of pulse-pounding pugilism straight from the start, whilst simultaneously setting up the main narrative of the comic, and is slightly reminiscent of Howard's opening to "The Tower of the Elephant" in some ways. Perhaps unsurprisingly considering the technique's success, Thomas also apparently takes a page out of "The Pool of the Black One" later on, by having Conan unwisely challenge the cowardly Pakim to become chief Hetman of the Afghulis, and subsequently get knocked unconscious by some of the less-honourable tribesmen for his trouble; "The Hill Code is well-known far and wide. It says a Hetman must fight any man who challenges him before the assembled tribe."
It's perhaps unexpected then that this book's sole drawback are some of Alan Davis' sketches, which whilst predominantly up to Englishman's usual high standard debatably don't suit the look and feel of the Hyborian Age. True, the Corby-born illustrator's depictions of Serra and her hired swordsman, Zubair are prodigiously pencilled, but for some reason the rather round, cartoonish style of the "Captain Britain" artist doesn't appear to quite suit the square-jawed, grim-faced Cimmerian in several of the comic's panels.

Als Loccumer Vertrag wird der zwischen dem Land Niedersachsen und den evangelischen Landeskirchen in Niedersachsen am 19. März 1955 geschlossene Vertrag bezeichnet. Die Bezeichnung bezieht sich auf den Unterzeichnungsort, das Kloster Loccum. Der Loccumer Vertrag wurde 1965 durch einen Ergänzungsvertrag modifiziert. Er gehört zur Gattung der Staatskirchenverträge.

Inhalt des Vertrags
Der Loccumer Vertrag ist ein umfassender Vertrag zwischen Staat und den evangelischen Kirchen im Gebiet des Landes Niedersachsen, den Landeskirchen Hannover, Braunschweig, Oldenburg und Schaumburg-Lippe. Er unterscheidet sich insoweit von Verträgen, die nur eine bestimmte Materie regeln (etwa die Gefängnisseelsorge, Staatsleistungen etc.). Der Regelungsgehalt betrifft umfassend die gemeinsamen Angelegenheiten von Staat und Kirchen, wie etwa den Religionsunterricht, theologische Fakultäten, Anstaltsseelsorge, politische Klausel, Änderungen der Parochien, Kirchensteuer, Staatsleistungen usw. Daneben wurden die religionsspezifischen Freiheitsverbürgungen der Verfassung wiederholt (wie etwa Religionsfreiheit, Wirken in der Öffentlichkeit, diakonisches Handeln und kirchliches Selbstbestimmungsrecht) und auf einer vertraglichen Ebene bekräftigt.

Am gleichen Tag wurde zur Regelung der Durchführung noch eine Zusatzvereinbarung geschlossen, die Teil des Vertragswerk ist.

In einem Ergänzungsvertrag von 1965 wurden Bildungs- und Kulturfragen im Anschluss an die Regelungen des Niedersächsischen Konkordats von 1965 geklärt.

Einzelne Regelungen des Vertrags

Öffentlichkeitsauftrag der Kirchen – "Loccumer Formel"
In der Präambel des Vertrages erklären die Vertragspartner Übereinstimmung über den Öffentlichkeitsauftrag der Kirche und ihre Eigenständigkeit. Der Begriff vom Öffentlichkeitsanspruch der Kirche wurde nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg von Rudolf Smend geprägt und im Sinne der damaligen Koordinationslehre ausgefüllt. Inhaltlich sollte diese später sog. Loccumer Formel der Kirche eine ethische, politische Wächterrolle und ein Widerstandsrecht gegen den Staat geben. Der Staat sollte entsprechend der bis Ende der 1960er Jahre vorherrschenden Koordinationslehre anerkennen, dass die Sichtweise der Kirchen in politischen Entscheidungen im Interesse des Gemeinwohls Gewicht haben solle. Weiterer Ausfluss der Koordinationslehre war die in der Loccumer Formel zum Ausdruck kommende Eigenständigkeit der Kirchen, d. h. diese waren nicht von einer staatlichen Gewährleistung abhängige Rechtssubjekte. Sie bestanden vielmehr unabhängig vom Staat und waren seiner Regelungsmacht nicht vollständig unterworfen; sie standen ihm eher auf gleicher Ebene denn als Rechtsunterworfene gegenüber.

Die Loccumer Formel hat in ihrer Reichweite mit Überwindung der Koordinationslehre Kritik und Neubewertung erfahren. Gleichwohl wurde sie weiter verwendet, etwa auch in den Kirchenverträgen der neuen Bundesländer in den 1990er Jahren und in der Brandenburgischen Verfassung. Der Öffentlichkeitsauftrag wird nicht mehr als ein politisches Wächteramt der Kirchen aufgefasst, sondern als Ausfluss der Meinungs- sowie der Bekenntnisfreiheit. Die Kirchen sollen sich entsprechend dieser Konzeption frei am gesellschaftlichen Leben beteiligen können. Die Loccumer Formel verarbeitet damit in den ostdeutschen Kirchenverträgen die Erfahrungen aus der DDR, wo die kirchliche Tätigkeit mannigfaltigen Beschränkungen und Diskriminierungen ausgesetzt war. Sie hat sich gewandelt von einer Beschreibung eines Gemeinwohlauftrags hin zu einer Freiheitsverbürgung der Kirchen.

Politische Klausel
Die Kirchenverträge der Weimarer Zeit sahen bei Ernennung kirchenleitender Positionen staatliche Informationsrechte vor. Vor Besetzung bestimmter kirchlicher Ämter (z. B. Bischof) verpflichtete sich die Kirche zur Nachfrage bei der Landesregierung, ob gegen die Kandidaten für die Position Bedenken allgemein politischer Art bestehen. Mit den entsprechenden Regelungen war auch bereits zu Weimarer Zeit wegen der Regelung in  WRV (Religionsgemeinschaften verleihen ihre Ämter ohne Mitwirkung des Staates) kein Vetorecht des Staates verbunden. Der Staat konnte ausdrücklich nur staatspolitische Einwände geltend machen, nicht jedoch parteipolitische oder kirchliche.
Der Loccumer Vertrag behält diese Tradition bei und regelt eine Nachfragepflicht der Kirche in Artikel 7. Die Regelung wird dahingehend verstanden, dass die Landesregierung Vorbehalte aus staatspolitischen Gründen geltend machen kann, wenn der Kandidat eine Fundamentalopposition zum Staat einnimmt. Nach Art. 7 Abs. 1 S. 2 gilt diese vorherige Informations- und Rückversicherungspflicht nicht in den Fällen, wo ein Amt durch die Synode mittels Wahl besetzt wird. Indem mittlerweile jedes kirchenleitende Amt durch die Synode vergeben wird, hat die politische Klausel keine praktische Bedeutung mehr.

Triennium
Das sog. Triennium vereinbart traditionell die Voraussetzungen für die Berufung zum geistlichen Amt in der Kirche. Artikel 8 und 9 des Loccumer Vertrags bestimmen zu Voraussetzungen für die Anstellung:
 deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit
 Hochschulzugangsberechtigung
 mindestens dreijähriges theologisches Studium an einer deutschen staatlichen oder gleichgestellten österreichischen/schweizerischen Hochschule

Das Erfordernis der deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit geht zurück auf staatskirchliche Zeiten, als Pfarrer Staatsbeamte waren. Unter Geltung von Grundgesetz und europarechtlichen Diskriminierungsverboten ist diese Voraussetzung wohl rechtswidrig. Aufgrund der unbeschränkten, einvernehmlichen Dispensationsmöglichkeiten in Art. 8 Abs. 2 ist das Erfordernis der deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit praktisch nicht mehr bedeutsam.

Das letzte Kriterium dient der Sicherung der Auslastung der theologischen Fakultäten. Für diese soll nur solange eine Bestandsgarantie gelten, wie die Kirchen hier auch ihre späteren Amtsträger ausbilden lassen.

Die Regelungen über die notwendige Vorbildung soll auch den Gleichklang mit dem staatlichen Dienstrecht gewährleisten, indem eine ungefähre Äquivalenz des Pfarramts zum höheren Dienst in der öffentlichen Verwaltung (vgl. etwa  BBG mit seinen Voraussetzungen) sichergestellt wird.

Theologische Fakultäten
Im Bereich des Landes Niedersachsen wird durch Art. 3 der Fortbestand der theologischen Fakultäten garantiert. Die Berufung von Hochschullehrern sieht ein Stellungnahmeverfahren seitens der Landeskirchen vor, wobei nach dem Vertragstext die Landeskirchen an der Entscheidung nicht mitwirken, sondern nur eine Einschätzung abgeben können. Aufgrund der Bekenntnisbezogenheit von Forschung und Lehre in der theologischen Fakultät und der religiös-weltanschaulichen Neutralität des Staates steht den Kirchen gleichwohl eine Mitentscheidung zu, d. h. ohne ihr Einverständnis kann kein Hochschullehrer zur Ausbildung der angehenden Pfarrer berufen werden.

Im Loccumer Vertrag fehlt auch ein nachträgliches Beanstandungsrecht für Hochschullehrer. Eine entsprechende Befugnis, wie sie traditionellerweise in den katholischen Konkordaten vorzufinden ist, wird den evangelischen Kirchen gleichwohl aus verfassungsrechtlichen Gründen zugesprochen. Die religiös-weltanschauliche Neutralität und Bekenntnisbezogenheit gebietet, dass nur auf dem Boden von Bekenntnis und Lehre der evangelischen Kirche stehende Hochschullehrer an der Ausbildung der angehenden Pfarrer mitwirken. Anwendungsfall ist der Göttinger Theologe Gerd Lüdemann, der sich vom Christentum lossagte, daraufhin nicht mehr in die Theologenausbildung einbezogen wurde und nicht mehr Teil der theologischen Fakultät ist.

Bedeutung
Der Loccumer Vertrag war der erste umfassende Vertrag zwischen dem Staat und einer Religionsgemeinschaft nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und unter Geltung des Grundgesetzes. Nach der ersten Hochphase in der Weimarer Zeit mit Abschluss des preußischen, bayerischen und badischen Kirchenvertrags wurde durch den Loccumer Vertrag die Zweckmäßigkeit und Notwendigkeit des Vertragsmittels auch unter Geltung des Grundgesetzes aufgezeigt. Auch unter den neuen Rahmenbedingungen des Grundgesetzes gab es somit einen vertraglichen Regelungsbedarf.

Der Loccumer Vertrag hatte Modellcharakter und Vorbildfunktion für die Staatskirchenverträge, die in der folgenden Zeit abgeschlossen wurden. Er bildete den Anfangspunkt der zweiten Phase der Staatskirchenverträge, die mit dem Abschluss des hessischen Kirchenvertrages 1965 ihr Ende fand. Diese Staatskirchenverträge waren angelehnt an die Formulierungen und Regelungen des Loccumer Vertrags. Insofern war der Loccumer Vertrag prägend für die Staatskirchenverträge bis zum Beginn der dritten Phase der Staatskirchenverträge, beginnend mit dem Wittenberger Vertrag aus 1993.

Im Unterschied zur Weimarer Zeit übernahm mit dem Loccumer Vertrag ein evangelischer Kirchenvertrag die Vorbildfunktion. Erst danach erfolgten (in Niedersachsen äußerst schwierige) Verhandlungen mit der katholischen Kirche zwecks Abschluss eines Konkordats auf Landesebene. Einerseits war die Möglichkeit eines Vertragsschlusses – anders als mitunter in der Weimarer Republik – mit den evangelischen Landeskirchen unbestritten. Auf der anderen Seite existierte keine dem Reichskonkordat vergleichbare bundesweite Regelung des Verhältnisses zwischen Staat und Landeskirchen auf evangelischer Seite. Die katholische Seite wollte keine das Reichskonkordat abwertende Vertragspraxis fördern und stand einem Neuabschluss entsprechend ablehnend gegenüber. Erst mit dem Konkordatsurteil des BVerfG änderte sich diese Haltung, indem die auf Bundesebene beschränkte Wirksamkeit des Reichskonkordates festgestellt wurde.

Die Regelungen des Loccumer Vertrags sind im Vergleich zu den Kirchenverträgen aus der Weimarer Zeit bereits weniger staatskirchlich ausgeprägt und beachten in umfangreicherem Maße die kirchliche Unabhängigkeit. Der Loccumer Vertrag und mit ihm generell das Mittel des Vertrages zwischen Staat und Religionsgemeinschaften wurde bis in die 1990er Jahre als Ausdruck der damaligen Koordinationslehre angesehen. Mit der Überwindung der Koordinationslehre schien auch das Mittel des Vertrags nicht mehr zeitgemäß zu sein. Mit den sich an die Wiedervereinigung anschließenden Vertragsabschlüssen zwischen den Religionsgemeinschaften und den neuen Bundesländern ist diese Einschätzung jedoch überholt. Mit Inkrafttreten des baden-württembergischen Kirchenvertrages 2008 bestehen im gesamten Bundesgebiet auf Länderebene vertragliche Regelungen zwischen Staat und evangelischer Kirche.

Heliconia latispatha originates in Central America. This is the one for a pot, as it does not grow too tall. It is a small Heliconia, reaching about 3-4 feet in height. Can be grown as houseplant or greenhouse specimen.
This short variety produces 4 to 7 colorful upright bracts 'lobster claw', usually bright red with some yellow and green. The inflorescenes are upright and are usually produced above the leaves and grow about 12 to 20' high. The flowers are yellow with a green tip. Very attractive with broad Banana type leathery leaves. The foliage has a maroon stripe down the underside and along the edge.


On the afternoon that the Taylors were moving into their new house, their friend Ellie Leonardsmith heard the movers chatting outside with a neighbor. As she introduced herself, Leonardsmith learned that he was a developer and flipping the house next door. She glanced at the light blue house next to the Taylors' new one and told him right then, "I'd like to buy it." And she and her wife, Kelsey, did just that.
The Leonardsmiths and Taylors joke that their two houses are now a co-housing community, but with a new fence encircling a shared backyard, a communal toolshed with newly co-purchased lawn mower, an extra bin on one house's garbage service, and a reflector to aim Wi-Fi from door to door, that description of their situation isn't that far from the truth.
Imported from Denmark in the 1980s by American architects interested in a mix of design and sustainability, modern co-housing is a living situation where individual houses share a common space or facilities. (Cantine's Island in Saugerties is one local example.) Unlike a 1960s-style hippie commune, cohousing doesn't often pool finances or provide for organized communal decision making. It's an informal sharing economy based on personal attributes and favors among chosen neighbors. Similar to religious communes like Israeli-style kibbutzim or Christian monasteries, there might be a focus on mutual values, but the autonomy built into the cohousing model often leads to a flexibility and open-mindedness around variety in individual tastes. At the heart of cohousing is the ability to craft the community to suit each inhabitant's needs.
The Leonardsmiths had a longtime fascination with cohousing and were looking to shift away from what they call the individualistic, consumerist dream of having your own house and your own stuff. When presented with the opportunity to buy the place next door to the Taylors', it felt like the moment to achieve their ideals. And with the variety of personalities involved, it's a well-rounded and full parenting experience for everybody. Two-year-old Graylyn Leonardsmith, currently an only child, goes over to the Taylors' house most afternoons to run with their pack of three kids. She'll quietly craft and bake with the Taylors, and engage in loud, extroverted, and musical play with her moms. The families often eat dinner together, preferring to prepare a dish or two for everyone over cooking a whole meal for just a few. "For us, it's already relieved so much of the stress of child-care needs," says Leonardsmith. "A half an hour here, 15 minutes there—if you don't have family support, you're hiring a babysitter or schlepping the kid around. It's stressful."
There's a culture of isolation in modern day parenting when people, like the Leonardsmiths, find job opportunities far from their families. That translates to a sometimes overwhelming amount of parental responsibility falling on the shoulders of parents alone. According to a 2012 Pew Research Center survey on time use, 56 percent of mothers and 50 percent of fathers find juggling work and family life to be difficult, and 40 percent of working mothers and 34 percent of working fathers say they always feel rushed. The convenience of relying on their neighbors for child care while the Leonardsmiths run to the store for milk makes the arrangement feel more like an expanded family. They don't have to calculate their requests and diminish the burden on any one friend. With a cohousing neighbor watching all the kids play in a shared backyard, it's just not a big deal. "Our vision would be, as houses go up for sale, to buy out the whole block with more friends," Leonardsmith says. "It would be amazing to have more internal space for the kids to run around; add goats and greenhouses. This is small, but it's a beginning."
When her kids were four and six, Marika Lindholm became very sick. She was recently divorced and parenting alone. "It felt like I swam awkwardly in a sea of couples. Slowly my circle of friends expanded to more moms like myself, who, for a variety of reasons, were raising kids on their own. It wasn't a conscious process but more of a social comfort in finding a group of women who didn't worry about you stealing their husband or judge you for the pile of dishes in the sink." Her network of solo mom friends took her kids for sleepovers, brought them food, and pushed Lindholm to get more tests. Her illness turned out to be a curable blood disorder, but that feeling of vulnerability Lindholm experienced crystalized how alone a single parent is sometimes and became a driving motivation for her.
A sociologist, Lindholm knows that a parent's social network is pivotal to her well-being. And for solo moms, reclaiming the group's status was key. Last July, she launched a confidential online community called ESME (Empowering Solo Moms Everywhere), based in Red Hook. It's a parenting village for the digital age, providing articles, resources, and databases, and bridging diverse communities of solo moms in an inspirational and supportive environment. Lindholm wants solo moms, who are collectively tasked with raising 22 million American children, to feel proud and connected. Run by solo moms or the people who love them, from the writers to the PR agents, the impetus is to help solo moms build a network of support from people who "get it."
Lindholm advises that effective social networks should be a blend of people who are closely connected (strong ties) and acquaintances (weak ties). She draws inspiration from her former colleague at Northwestern, Mark Granovetter, now a professor at Stanford and the author of The Strength of Weak Ties. She says that people should recognize practical and emotional support might not come from the same source. "There might be another mom or dad that's always willing to help with a school pickup, but you would never cry on their shoulder," Lindholm says.
That goes for parenting couples, as well. Monique Heenan of Gardiner thinks of her parenting circles in terms of tiers of support: there are the friends or acquaintances who share carpooling, playdate hosting, and everyday favors (first tier); and there are the close friends who respond in a crisis (second tier). "They're different relationships," Heenan says, "but at the foundation of both is reciprocity."
The Heenans have moved three times since relocating from Albany to the Hudson Valley 10 years ago. Each time, they've lost some of their first-tier circle, and Heenan has worked to rebuild it. In Woodstock, she initiated a taco-and-sundae night on Fridays at their house for a gang of kids her son and daughter knew through homeschooling. Appreciative for the invite and the night off, some of the parents reciprocated in kind, indicating that they were looking for the same thing for their families.
In the Hudson Valley, parents create support circles for various reasons. Aside from single parenting or co-parenting in divorce, very often one parent works in New York City or travels for work, leaving the other to fly solo for several days each week. In families where both parents work, it may be born of necessity, especially during afterschool hours. A child's extensive activities, like dancing five days a week, might only be possible with the help of other dance parents. Some families, like the Heenans, though, make an intentional choice to include neighbors and friends in the rearing of their children, hoping to create an open-door policy, and that's because they see a benefit to the children. "My kids feel like they're not alone in the world."
It's the same sense they might have with extended family, and a stand-in for that is what the Heenans are looking to grow. "When we came down here, we left family behind in Albany, and that was the thing that broke my heart," Heenan says. "How do I replace my sister or my mother? I have found, peppered here and there, those rare gems who love my children as much as I do."
Taking an interest in her children's friends' parents was the building block of it all, and that helps when differences in parenting styles come up or when kids outgrow their friendships. How those issues are dealt with by everyone involved often determines whether the relationship will delve deeper into that second tier. "It's interesting how, after 10 years, some people I thought we might remain close to, in the end, those relationships didn't flesh out because kids were developing and people's lives change." Heenan says building a parenting village takes time and organically self-selects through shared values. "I think it takes a generosity of spirit. If you put that out there, those similar souls are attracted to it." For the Heenans, it's about finding their people.
