Enrollment History
Change Management (LSMC28)
Who Should Enroll
Overview and Courses
As a leader in your organization, you always need to be prepared for change. Whether you're dealing with a planned initiative, volatile industry, or unexpected situation, change is inevitable. In this series, you will identify where you fit in the power hierarchy of your organization and how this plays into your role in organizational decision making.
The Change Management certificate program, developed by faculty at Cornell University, will equip you to anticipate where things are moving, implement changes needed, and sustain the momentum of your change management initiatives to advance your agenda. The four core courses and two leadership electives enable you to meet your specific development goals while customizing the program to suit your particular professional outcomes.
Navigating Power Relationships
Leaders at every level need to be able to execute on their ideas. In virtually every case, this means that leaders need to be able to persuade others to join in this execution. In order to do so, understanding how to create and utilize power in an organization is critical.
In this course, developed by Professor Glen Dowell, Ph.D., of Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, students will focus on their personal relationship with power as well as how power works in their organization and social network.
Project Management Institute (PMI®) Continuing Certification: Participants who successfully complete this course will receive 6 Professional Development Units (PDUs) from PMI®. Please contact PMI ® for details about professional project management certification or recertification.
PMI is a registered mark of the Project Management Institute, Inc.

Being able to negotiate is a practical, everyday skill that is critical for anyone working within an organization. The good news is it's a skill you can practice and master. Negotiation skills are ones you can use in any context and, once you master the behaviors of effective negotiation, you will use all the time. In this course, developed by Cornell University's Professor Samuel Bacharach, Ph.D., you will develop an awareness that every conversation is a negotiation, and you will identify the critical components of effective negotiation.
Leading Strategic Change Initiatives
If you're in charge of developing and leading strategic organizational change, there are certain tools and concepts you must be familiar with. In this course, the emphasis is on cultivating your ability to assess the need for change. By determining why your organization or team needs change, you'll be able to better answer questions like: What should you change and how should the change be handled? You will explore the political and complex process of introducing change, which includes motivating others, dealing with resistance and the emotional elements of change, and finally, extending change over time and sustaining it. The course is designed to give you practice so you can initiate and carry out a change effort.
Leading Organizational Change
All leadership is change leadership. Good leadership isn't about stagnation; it's about moving ahead. In this course, Cornell University's Professor Samuel Bacharach, Ph.D., explores the fundamental, practical skills that effective leaders have mastered.
Effective change leaders do three things; they anticipate where things are moving, they facilitate the implementation of change, and they sustain momentum by taking charge and moving things ahead. Great change leaders know how to be both proactive and reactive, as Professor Bacharach explains. Students in this course will examine their own leadership styles and practice skills that will help them translate ideas into organizational results, find ways to overcome organizational inertia, and examine strategies for overcoming individual resistance to change.
Elective (2 Courses)
Leading Collaborative Teams
In today's workforce, adaptation and responsiveness are key elements in the success for an organization. As turnaround times shorten and demands increase, organizations must leverage teams to reach strategic goals and fulfill initiatives. Based on the expertise and research of Kate Walsh, PhD, students in this course will diagnose team needs, set expectations for development, utilize conflict to augment change, and build team autonomy to support leaders in embracing a more strategic focus.
Leading Across Cultures
Leading across cultures is about adapting, communicating, thinking critically, and understanding your own biases. Dr. Jan Katz of Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration will help you explore the five key dimensions of crosscultural leadership: culture, context, risk, linear/parallel hierarchy, and individualism/collectivism . After defining and sharing examples of each, Professor Katz will help you explore their impacts on business and how you can adapt to variations in different cultures. This course gives you the tools you need to continuously improve your cross-cultural leadership skills.
In the course project, you will examine the cultures and dimensions you work in, explore how compensation relates to risk, examine the hierarchy at your company, and evaluate your own leadership style as it relates to the cultures you work in. You will also get to investigate the 2015 Greek financial crisis and interview an international colleague before creating an action plan for your own future education around the impact of cultural variation on leadership.
Coaching Skills for Leaders
Coaching is about building relationships—and it's essential in order for your organization to move forward together to achieve better results. Being an effective coach requires skills that can be practiced and mastered, including listening, building credibility and trust, and showing empathy. In this course, Cornell University's Dr. Samuel Bacharach, will help you distinguish between coaching and traditional supervision. You will identify the five functions of coaching and the rules for having coaching conversations. Finally, you will examine some of the classic coaching mistakes that people often make and identify how you can avoid repeating those mistakes yourself.
Motivating People for High Performance
Leaders are responsible for encouraging the highest possible performance from their employees. Most leaders recognize that motivation is a key driver of high performance. Few leaders are skilled at choosing the right combination of approaches and tools to motivate all of their people. Cornell University Professor Risa Mish provides a learning experience that builds on the important premise that not all individuals are motivated by the same things, and some might be demotivated by the same conditions or incentives that motivate others. This course prepares leaders to analyze performance problems and assess whether they actually can be attributed to a lack of motivation or to one of several other root causes.
When students determine that poor workplace performance is indeed caused by a lack of motivation, they will use the motivation techniques that will be most effective for all the people involved. Leveraging the work of two American social psychologists to address the factors that may be demotivating people, students will learn how to increase the factors that do motivate people and improve workplace performance. Students will also use the three primary drivers of human motivation to foster better performance on the job.
Quality and Service Excellence
In an increasingly competitive global environment, quality is no longer considered a nice-to-have luxury. It's a requirement for successfully competing and surviving in the marketplace. While the concepts, tools, and procedures for quality and process improvement are now universally recognized and firmly placed in a large number of high-performing organizations around the world, it was not always so. The importance of quality in organizations has gone through a complete evolutionary cycle.
In this course, you will develop measures and standards of service quality, devise practices that improve employee learning and outcomes, and evaluate different approaches to process improvement, all based on the research and expertise of Cornell University Professor Rohit Verma, PhD. Using the tools provided in this course, you will be able to relate strategic decisions to their impact on organizational performance. And with the completion of an action plan at the end of the course, you will be ready to apply what you learn to your own organization.
Planning and Delivering Effective Presentations
To be an effective leader, you must be able to articulate your thoughts and positions in a clear and concise manner.
Professor Angela Noble-Grange of Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management draws on her own extensive experience as a speaker and communicator to guide students through the preparation and delivery process. She discusses how to identify the communication purpose and analyze your expected audience. She then shares how to formulate and rehearse your message, including how to pay attention to nonverbal communication.
To fine-tune these skills, this course includes interacting with fellow students. Students will participate in discussion forums and will record and share a video of a short presentation that serves as the course project. This provides rich opportunities for students to hone their communication and presentation skills in a practical way, and to learn from the efforts of others.
Participants in this certificate need a high-speed internet connection, a computer or device that can shoot digital videos with reasonable quality, and access to Adobe Flash software. The eCornell course delivery system provides the ability to record and upload videos, so you won't need special video software.
Leading With Credibility
Managers who are seen practicing what they preach and following through on promises enjoy dramatically enhanced credibility and loyalty. They inspire workers to perform well and even to go beyond what is asked of them. Credibility is not all it takes to be successful, but no trust or meaningful relationship with those you manage can happen without it.
This course, developed by Professor Tony Simons, Ph.D. of Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, focuses on this critical element of leadership, and helps students develop the awareness, skills and habits necessary for mastering it.
Leading for Creativity and Innovation
One of the challenges organizations face today is how to innovate. Innovation has become the modus operandi of organizational life. Every organization needs to innovate quickly to stay competitive. But what does "innovation" really mean?
In simple terms, innovation is the practical application of creative ideas to drive organizational results; innovation results in something useful that benefits the organization. In this course, Cornell University's Professor Samuel Bacharach, Ph.D., clears away common misconceptions about the mystery surrounding this popular buzzword and identifies how individuals can harness creative energy to drive innovative results. Students will identify strategies for encouraging divergent thinking and examine methods of fostering a culture of innovation.
The ability to make effective and timely decisions is an essential skill for successful executives. Mastery of this skill influences all aspects of day-to-day operations as well as strategic planning. In this course, developed by Professor Robert Bloomfield, Ph.D. of Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, you will hone your decision-making skills by following a methodology based on tested actions and sound organizational approaches. You will leave this course better equipped to confidently tackle any decision large or small, and you'll do so in a way that creates the optimal conditions for success.

You may already have seen the headlines: '"Largest '"Huge '"U.S.
Basically, 143 million pounds of beef is being recalled, meat that was processed over a two-year period by a California company, the Westland/Hallmark Meat Company. According the USDA, much of the recalled beef probably has already been eaten — some of that in school lunches. The recall specifies that the public-health danger is minimal, officials say.
For details about the recall, the USDA has provided a question-and-answer page. Meanwhile on the blogs, Bonnie Powell at the Ethicurean addresses the recall, as does Barbara Fisher of Tigers and Strawberries, and Parke Wilde of U.S. Food Policy.
bq.The Hallmark/Westland recall stems from an investigation that began in October 2007 by the Humane Society. An undercover investigator started working for Hallmark wearing a concealed camera to document the plant's handling of animals for six weeks. The group said it chose the plant at random.
How many other plants out there are also disregarding laws that protect people from contaminated food — and animals from inhumane practices?

If you have tried to order from A&W in the USA then you know that A&W doesn't offer international shipping to every country. In this post we'll show you a simple process to get any item from A&W or any other American store shipped to your location, in any country worldwide. Before proceeding, start by checking if A&W ships to your country.
If A&W doesn't ship to your country then you need to ship your item(s) to a U.S. package forwarder who will then ship your package to your international location. Our recommendation is MyUS.com because we've shipped more than 1,000 packages with six different package forwarders and MyUS has the lowest rates, is tax-free, and is the most popular U.S. shipping forwarder by far.
Signing up is easy, plus you can see exactly how much your shipment will cost to ship internationally before shipping anything to MyUS. Also, if you have any issues placing your A&W order, MyUS's concierge service can place the order for you.
Did you know that you can get an extra 2-10% in cash back on your A&W order by using a cash back service? Ebates is the most popular and best known cash back service in the United States – plus they gift you $10 in bonus cash after completing your first A&W purchase.
Once you've set up your U.S. shipping address and clicked through a cash back website, you're ready to make your A&W purchase. Just visit the A&W website and place your order!
Check our detailed FAQs page for troubleshooting any A&W order issues.
AWResturants.com may be the house of these A&W restaurants, a chain that has its inception back in 1919 when the A&W new root beer was first made and sold. The restaurants were first opened a few years later and there are currently over one thousand of these in operation through the United States, selling classic food and, obviously, the renowned A&W origin beer.
Using a package forwarder, you can ship A&W internationally to any country or region in the world including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom (Britain / England / UK), Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Central America, South America, Middle East, and Europe. It should be noted that there are personal shopper services that can help you buy from any store, including A&W, even if they block or don't ship to freight forwarders.

Not sure what sizes you have inside you /avatars/ folder.
So they only option will be move those files manually and also check does your users come from other blog ID's because or plugin create also separate folders for each blog ID.
As for this part we base on \wp-includes\class-walker-comment.php file which display avatar in comment section for ex.
In both cases this will require custom coding to move those images and add additional field for ALT attribute.

Graves' Disease Causes Hyperthyroidism
by Eve Glazier, M.D. and Elizabeth Ko, M.D
Ask the Doctors | July 17th, 2020
Dear Doctor: I saw my doctor because my heart was beating funny and I was losing weight even though I wasn't dieting. She did a blood test, and it turns out to be Graves' disease. Why did I get that? Is there a cure?
Dear Reader: When someone has Graves' disease, it means a malfunction of their immune system has caused their thyroid gland to become too active. Known as hyperthyroidism, it's a condition that causes the overproduction of thyroid hormones. Since these hormones play an important regulatory role in many parts of the body, the symptoms of Graves' disease can be quite varied.
The thyroid is part of the collection of glands located throughout the body known as the endocrine system. Their job is to produce hormones, which are chemical messengers. They regulate bodily processes such as metabolism, sleep, mood, growth and development, reproduction, tissue function and sexual function, to name just a few.
The thyroid itself is a small gland. It weighs less than an ounce and is shaped roughly like a butterfly. It's located at the base of the throat, just below the larynx, and consists of a pair of matching lobes that sit on either side of the windpipe. The thyroid takes the iodine in our diet and manufactures two main hormones, which help regulate vital functions throughout the body. These include heart rate, body weight, body temperature, muscle strength, breathing, cholesterol levels, the central and peripheral nervous systems, and in women, menstrual cycles. So you can see how any malfunction of the thyroid can have a wide-ranging effect on general health.
When it comes to Graves' disease, the cause is unknown. It usually develops before the age of 40, and is more common in women than in men. People with existing autoimmune disorders are at increased risk of developing Graves' disease, and family history can play a role. Cigarette smoking is a risk factor, as well.
Symptoms of Graves' disease include the unexplained weight loss and irregular heartbeat that you experienced, as well as anxiety or irritability, sleep disturbance, fatigue, reduced libido, sensitivity to heat, and tremor in the fingers or hands. Some people develop Graves' ophthalmopathy, which is a collection of eye-related symptoms such as pressure, grittiness, light sensitivity and vision problems. Graves' dermopathy, which is rare, causes the skin on the shins or tops of the feet to thicken and become red.
Diagnosis is via blood tests to determine thyroid hormone levels, imaging tests to look at the size of the thyroid or tests that assess the rate at which the thyroid is using iodine. There is no cure at this time. Instead, treatment focuses on slowing thyroid activity. This can be achieved through radioactive iodine therapy, which gradually destroys overactive thyroid cells; medications that either interfere with the thyroid's ability to produce hormones or block the effects of thyroid hormones on the body; or thyroid surgery. Lifestyle changes such as a healthful diet, regular exercise and doing what you can to ease stress are also important for managing the condition. Complications can be serious, including heart disorders and problems during pregnancy, so it's important to seek treatment.

Loneliness Linked to a Number of Diseases and Conditions
Dear Doctor: I live alone, and stay-at-home orders have been hard. I've heard people say that being lonely is really bad for your health, and now I believe them. What problems can it cause? Also, I'm going to start seeing friends and family again. What can we do to stay safe?
Dear Reader: While it's easy to understand the link between loneliness and depression, anxiety and other psychological ills, the connection to physical effects on the human body can seem like a bit of a stretch. However, ongoing research has shown that loneliness, as well as the social isolation we have all been asked to practice for several months now, do, indeed, take a physical toll.
Individuals who experience chronic loneliness have been found to be more vulnerable to a number of diseases and conditions than are people who enjoy strong emotional connections. These include an increased risk of developing heart disease, metastatic cancers and having a stroke. Older adults who are socially isolated are also more likely to become cognitively impaired or to develop dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Researchers have even tied loneliness to an increased risk of premature death. Adults in midlife who are chronically lonely are 25% more likely to die prematurely. Older adults, whose social connections have shrunk due to factors such as retirement, have double the risk of premature death as those who are socially connected.
You're not alone in being determined to rekindle your social contacts. We've all seen an increase in the number of people returning to a semblance of normal life. The challenge is that each and every contact with someone outside of your quarantine circle becomes a calculated risk. This is because of the highly transmissible nature of the novel coronavirus and the existence of asymptomatic carriers, who can unknowingly pass along the virus. Still, several months into the pandemic, the medical community has gained a clearer understanding of mitigation measures. As a result, the focus has begun to shift from strict quarantine behavior to risk management and mitigation.
Before we go any further, we have to repeat that any contact with people outside your quarantine circle puts you at risk of infection. The best way to lessen that risk is to stick to small gatherings that are held only outside -- never indoors. And it's crucial to maintain the social distancing guidelines we are all now familiar with. That means tables or chairs or picnic blankets spaced at least 6 feet apart. No handshakes or hugging, no matter how tempting it may be. Everything about the gathering should be BYO -- bring your own. That includes food, drink, condiments, disposable plates, cups and utensils, and a large garbage bin for safe disposal. Wear masks except while eating or drinking. No sharing of food or drink or condiments. If things get lax and you become uncomfortable, make a polite excuse and leave. This is all a far cry from the way we visited with each other in the pre-COVID-19 world, but the potential consequences of skipping or relaxing even one of these steps are too grave.

Sunscreen and Insect Repellent Both Have Expiration Dates
Hello, dear readers, and welcome to our first letters column of the summer. We've had a lot of mail -- thank you! -- so we're diving right in.
-- Let's start with a question regarding two essential tools of outdoor summer living -- sunscreen and insect repellent. A number of you have written to ask how long these products remain effective. It's true that most don't include an expiration date on the packaging. However, the Food and Drug Administration requires sunscreen to maintain its original efficacy for at least three years. (Of course, that means you'll have to remember when you made your purchase.) Most manufacturers say their insect repellents remain effective for two to three years. If you need a more precise answer, you can call or email the manufacturer's customer service department and provide them with the lot number of the product you're asking about.
-- A column about the unhealthful nature of processed foods puzzled a reader from Iowa. "Can breakfast cereal, which is extruded, molded and milled, be considered a healthy processed food?" she asked. The answer is that it depends on the specific cereal. Those that are made from whole grains, have little-to-no added sugar and salt, and are high in fiber can be considered healthy-ish. (Emphasis on the "ish.") Eat them with a serving of fresh fruit, watch portion size and don't dip into the sugar bowl. Cereals fortified with vitamins, minerals and iron can contribute to daily nutritional goals.
-- A reader in Virginia thought we left out an important detail in our discussion of preventing deep vein thrombosis, which is the formation of blood clots, on long plane flights. "Never once did you mention wearing compression socks on the flight," he wrote. "Doesn't that help prevent DVT?" You're correct that wearing compression socks or stockings can help reduce the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. According to the National Institutes of Health, about 2 out of every 10,000 passengers develops DVT on a long flight. For those at high risk, knee-high compression stockings with compression strength between 15 and 30 mmHg are a good idea.
-- We received a lot of mail in response to a column about the importance of vitamin B12, an essential vitamin the body needs but doesn't produce. The answers to your varied questions are: B12 is manufactured by bacteria living in the guts of a variety of mammals, fish and poultry. It's available in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk and milk products. It's also available as a supplement, both over-the-counter and through prescription. OTC products, although not regulated by the FDA, are considered to be a reliable source of the vitamin. Studies have found no advantage of sublingual (under the tongue) B12 over tablet form. Most B12 supplements exceed the recommended dietary allowances (RDA) for adults of about 2 to 3 micrograms per day. However, the body absorbs only as much as it needs, and any excess of the water-soluble vitamin is excreted in the urine.
Thank you to everyone who wrote with kind words. We're thrilled that you continue to find this column both interesting and useful. We look forward to seeing you again in this forum next month.

Response: Student's are not customers; Are they?
A LinkedIn post by Santiago Iniguez, Dean of IE Business School in Spain, asked the question, Student's are not customers; Are they? You can view the post here.
Absolutely. Teachers / Trainers are Salespeople selling the ideas and concepts that they want their Students to buy into and learn. The primary role of the teacher / trainer is to convey the information to their student's in an easy-to-digest manner (aka Don't be boring). Even though students are interested in the topic (because they invest their time and money to attend the class), they will not effectively grasp the information taught if they can't understand it, or can't stay awake in class.
I know that my favorite (and most effective) teachers / trainers have sold me on their ideas and concepts. So, I believe that Students are definitely Customers.

We're just not into EU
Over the course of the last four years this blog has attempted to explore every aspect of Brexit. I can say with reasonable confidence that there are very few others who've explored the issues with quite the same intensity. In this time I have gravitated toward trade and regulation but seldom have I explored the internal politics of the EU entity. I should, but I don't.
There's a good reason for this. It's super boring. The high politics of the EU is only followed by think tank wonks, politics students, pretentious tossers and bored Brussels correspondents who pulled the shortest straw. Nobody else understands it or even gives a toss - and that's why it will never be a legitimate power.
Today of all days leavers are making the classic error of complaining about "unelected officials", which is neither here nor there since the EU would still fail to be a democracy even if they were elected. Insofar as there is any drama to the politics of the EU, the appointment of functionaries does not actually alter the direction of the EU. There's not much in it whoever is appointed. The destination is always the same. Of course there are subtleties in approach but you'd have to be a serious nerd to detect them. I certainly have no instinct for it.
For me this stuff is hard to get excited about. I don't know who these people are, where they come from, what they represent or what they get up to. Every now and then one of their number acquires a certain notoriety by way of their corruption, but in the EU being bent is no barrier to any of the top jobs. That much has been true for as long as I can remember.
This is the very essence of the EU's fundamental lack of legitimacy. We do not know this entity as we know our own government. For a governing entity to have any kind of democratic legitimacy it must have a meaningful connection to the demos. It must be embedded in the culture.
You don't have to be a constitutional expert to get British politics. We are raised on it. Even before I was able to vote I'd been exposed to The New Statesman, Spitting Image, Yes Minister and later, The thick of it, and come election time we get to know our politicians - their values, their background and their shortcomings. Further to this we have a media that (notionally) holds our politics to account.
We can't say the same of the EU. As a rule scrutiny of the EU is a somewhat niche pursuit. If there is a corruption scandal, generally news of it reaches me via EUobserver or Euractiv, and EU trade news comes to me via bilaterals.org. The most active civil society groups are nearly always from mainland Europe and anything said by Brussels tends not to register in the British press - as has been abundantly evident through the Article 50 process.
As it stands we have a more in depth understanding of US politics than anything happening on the continent. Political union is more feasible with the USA. Not that we should want such a thing. But when we look to the EU we see an alien political culture run by people we can't identify where every action has an ulterior motive in the pursuit of "ever closer union".
Though remainers may lament the lack of British media engagement, it's just not the sort of thing you can manufacture. British media isn't remotely interested because media follows power and so far as they are concerned, Westminster, with all its high drama and intrigue, is the only politics worth speaking of. There just isn't a way to make the EU relevant to people. For a brief moment in time the EU was interesting insofar as its ill conceived vanity currency was about to collapse the entire European financial system, but that's only really because humans have a perverse need to see big things crash and burn.
Very occasionally an EU trade deal will make it into the news but were it not for Brexit EU trade deals pass under the radar with no real comment from our media and no parliamentary scrutiny. If memory serves, TTIP was a blip on the radar back in 2013 along with hysteria about ISDS but most people couldn't tell you what ISDS or TTIP was or why it was important. Back then it hardly registered even with me.
On every major issue there is a disconnect between the public and the supreme government of Europe. It steamrollers on with no genuine consent, at best considered an economic necessity and at worst a lifesucking parasite with a democracy phobia. It's taken Brexit for most of the public to develop a serious opinion on the EU. Prior to that we couldn't even get 40 per cent turnout at euro elections and the vast majority of people even now could not name a single grouping in the European Parliament or tell you what they stand for.
The group system of itself is an attempt to manufacture an organic component to European politics but it doesn't work. Certainly not from the British perspective. We only see euro elections in terms of domestic politics along domestic party lines and the results are largely seen as an opinion poll on the incumbent governing party.
The bottom line is that the British public does not have an organic or meaningful relationship with the EU government. The EU perhaps means more to the Germans and French as an act of national reconciliation, but we Brits just aren't that into the EU and that's never really going to change. Much of the support for remaining in the EU has less to do with what the EU is as a fear of what will happen in the process of leaving.
Without that meaningful relationship and without that media focus, and with EU political structures being as opaque as they are (who among you really knows what a commissioner or high representative does?) there can never be any clear line of accountability and none of the dialogue that is necessary for a functioning democracy.
Worse for the EU is that it's always going to be fighting a losing battle. Its attempts at connecting with people are clumsy and tone deaf, and the media will never report on it accurately or honestly if they bother to report on it at all. And being that the UK was dragged into the EU treaty construct without a referendum the EU will never overcome the sense of resentment.
For as long as the UK is in the EU it will burble on in the background as it always has, existing as noise, struggling for relevance, and forever finding the UK a nuisance. That though, was never sustainable. As Roy Jenkins put it in 1999, "There are only two coherent British attitudes to Europe. One is to participate fully and to endeavour to exercise as much influence and gain as much benefit as possible from the inside. The other is to recognise that Britain's history, national psychology and political culture may be such that we can never be other than a foot-dragging and constantly complaining member; and that it would be better, and certainly would produce less friction, to accept this and to move towards an orderly, and if possible, reasonably amicable withdrawal".
It turns out that a "reasonably amicable" withdrawal isn't actually possible. Part of the problem is that British politics has never been able to fully reconcile the UK's purpose as an EU member. Most of its advocates still can't even be honest about what the EU is, persisting in calling it a "trade bloc". It's telling that most of the remainer MPs still don't know the difference between the customs union and a single market. For them, the EU is just a stage prop that flatters their self image as progressive internationalists. Values that are wildly out of kilter with the nation as a whole.
Though the EU has always been a peripheral issue, it has still had the potency to bring down prime ministers, and though it seldom pipped into top ten list of immediate concerns, it has caused a deep schism in British politics as the issue reached an impasse. Rather than resolving the issue we simply buried it for a decade or more, hoping it would go away. But it didn't. It continued to fester.
The result of that moral cowardice is a hopelessly divided country split right down the middle, estranged not only from Brussels, but also London with all trust in government utterly shattered. The issue is fractal. As much as the EU is a government imposed upon us, an aloof Westminster establishment, now an extension of the Brussels mentality, imposes on the rest of the country. It is not simply a question of leaving the EU. It's about carving out this alien inorganic culture of politics that neither listens nor responds.
As dire as the Tory leadership contest may be, it is at least a politics with meaning to us and with consequences we can understand. That is why the nation state is still the only vehicle through which meaningful democratic politics can be conducted. Remove that organic element and all we are left with is a faceless foreign entity that neither captures our imagination or evokes a sense of loyalty or patriotism. Without that you soon have an ungovernable country that no longer knows itself. We can only hope that ship has not already sailed.

Paul Bocuse, the worlds finest food
Paul Bocuses Brasserie
Paul Bocuse is considered one of the finest cooks of the 20th century. He created the first worldwide competition of cuisine, "Bocuse d'Or" in 1987. The Bocuse d'Or has been regarded as the most prestigious award for chefs in the world. Ever since, the best cooks from all over the world has been competing to win this price. I visited one of his brasseries in Lyon, and talked to one of his cooks.
I got to visit the Bocuse brasserie "L´EST" in Lyon in February 2012, thanks to my company, who had organized an evening at the spot. It was 10pm, and the room was almost fully booked. We were waited to get a table, so I tasted the royal kirr, and admired the open kitchen. There they were; the well-trained chefs in tall toques, preparing the delicious plates for the guest. I saw main course after main course being picked up by the waiters! Would I ever be able to decide? It all looked amazing. I realized then…that I had gone to food-heaven!
The waiters were polite, fast and with a great humor, which also add something to the experience.
Looking up, I saw an old train, just under the ceiling, on a trail that went all around the room. I wondered if it worked! Politely I asked the waiter why the train wasn´t running? He answered that unfortunately it had been broken. He continued out in the kitchen, and just 3 minutes later, I heard the little sound of a train getting started! Amazing, off cause just a detail compared to the food-experience, but none the less, an important detail to the total experience.
We finely had our table and got ready to order.
We talked to one of the waiters about how it was to work there. He said that off cause it was always a big honor to work for the most prestigious chef in the world. He added that, even if Bocuse was always polite when he came by to check up on things, as waiter he would still feel a bit of insecurity, arising from the deep respect he felt for that man!
If you haven´t yet had the change to go to a Bocuse brasserie, you should try it. It is an experience.

Paul Bocuses way to succes
Bocuse was born on February 11th 1926 – in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or near Lyon.
"In 1945 he did an apprenticeship at "La Mère Brassier" situated at the "col of La Luère", where he looked after the garden, milked the cows, did the washing, the ironing and of course the cooking.
In 1950 he completed his apprenticeship, having learnt the refinements dear to his master, and inheriting among others, the enormous generosity of the latter, which, in his time was an exceptional character.
In 1961 he gained his first star in the Michelin: he transformed his father's suburban cafe and gained a two star rating one year later.
In 1972 he became one of the most prominent chefs associated with the nouvelle cuisine (the term was first used in a newspaper article), which is less opulent and high-calorie than the traditional haute cuisine, and stresses the importance of fresh ingredients of the highest quality.
In 1975 Bocuse created the world famous soupe aux truffes (truffle soup) for a presidential dinner at the Elysée Palace.
In 1976 he wrote his first cooking book "La Cuisine du marche".
In 1980 he wrote "La Journee du cuisinier."
In 1987 he created the first worldwide competition of cuisine, "Bocuse d'Or".
Since, the Bocuse d'Or has been regarded as the most prestigious award for chefs in the world, and is sometimes seen as the unofficial world championship for chefs.
In 1989 he was elected as the "Chef of the Century" by Gault and Millau.
In 1990 he wrote "Cuisine de France."
In 1997 he presented his best wishes on CD-ROM.
In 1999 he started sending out his greetings throughout the world thanks to the Web.
Today he promotes the nouvelle cuisine."

February 24, 2021 Our people
February is Recreational Therapy Month
Posted by kateevely
Kate Giles – Recreation Therapy, Kids'd Rehab
Kate Giles is a Recreation Therapy Associate in Kids' Rehab at IWK Health. Originally from Vancouver, BC, Giles has lived in Nova Scotia for the past 17 years. She entered the field of therapeutic recreation after completing her Diploma in Therapeutic Recreation at NSCC in 2016. During her education, Giles completed placements in adolescent mental health and adult physical rehab.
"I was inspired by the rec. therapy leaders practicing in Nova Scotia and the work they do with people of all ages in sport, recreation, and leisure," says Giles. "At IWK Kids' Rehab, we work with families who have a child or youth with a physical or developmental disability. We work towards goals related to participation in leisure at home, in school, and in their community."
"I especially enjoy working within schools, province-wide, supporting students to use adaptive equipment throughout their day whether it's in gym class, in their classrooms, or on the playground." The team in Kids' Rehab manage a large adapted equipment loan program with over 200 pieces of equipment that are available to the families they work with free of charge.
This coming year Giles is most looking forward to using the new adapted equipment to help families access outdoor spades in Nova Scotia, and in supporting children and youth in safely navigate recreation and leisure programming in their communities.
Cassady Yochoff, Garron Centre
Cassady is from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and studied at St. Francis Xavier University and at Dalhousie University to complete her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and her Bachelor of Science in Recreation. Cassady uses her education and knowledge to help the Children and Youth in the Acute Inpatient Unit of the Garron Centre at IWK Health.
"Our team of two works individually and in groups to help youth find, or rediscover, what is it that brings joy and hope into their lives," says Cassady. "Using recreation activities and experiences, I help youth to explore what makes life worth living."
Cassady chose Recreation Therapy because she enjoys helping people find those things that they love to do and showing them how it can change their lives. "It is a privilege to be present for that moment when someone discovers something they enjoy. I'm so proud of the fact that I get to be there when youth are laughing for the first time in a while or feeling accomplished from learning a new skill."
Cassady credits the entire Garron team, including management, on the success of Recreation Therapy within the Garron Centre through the support the program receives from everyone. Like many, Cassady is looking forward to this year bringing more normality. Specifically, to the lives of the youth she works with and to begin enjoying the recreational actives that have been on pause the last year.
Alex Chandler, Recreational Therapist, Choices Adolescent Treatment Program
Alex Chandler is from P.E.I. and studied for his Recreational Therapy (RT) career at Dalhousie University. "I chose a career in RT after meeting a man in Whistler, B.C., who had previously broken his back in a car accident,' says Alex. The man told Alex about how important skiing was in his life prior to his accident and how returning to skiing was the ultimate goal that kept him motivated through recovery.
"It was then that I realized the role leisure and recreation could play in health care and how it can be used to help people through their darkest days." Now, Alex works with youth aged 13-19 years at the IWK Adolescent Intensive Services. Most patients that Alex works with are harmfully involved in substance use and/or co-diagnosed with an existing or emerging mental health condition.
"Much like the skier, my role is to help youth and families identify leisure and recreation as a therapeutic tool to create change, and to foster and maintain physical, mental, social, and spiritual wellness. Advocacy, counseling, skill development, identifying and eliminating barriers, and creating opportunities for meaning and success are part of my day-to-day job."
Alex says that creating moments where youth experience "FLOW" is his favourite part of the job. FLOW is known within RT as the moment when someone completely engaged and challenged in an activity where they're able to remove themselves from their issues and focus on the activity. "Be it through music, on a surfboard, on a hike, or in a yoga studio, these are the moments where youth begin to see their capacity to move toward wellness and their potential for growth and change."
Within his work, Alex is most proud to be able to find valuable and sustainable community partners that help build a supportive community for his patients. "These partnerships are invaluable in the benefits they provide to our patient population," says Alex. "I'm looking forward to returning to our "new normal" from COVID-19. One where our communities can safely return to accessing recreation and leisure opportunities without fear or concern."
Jen Pinder, Recreational Therapist, Children's Intensive Services (CIS)
Jen Pinder is originally from a small town in southwestern Ontario, which is where she developed her love for the outdoors, sports, music, and community. She was first introduced to the field of recreation therapy while attending a post-secondary school open house and she quickly became inspired to pursue this unique career opportunity. She had full intentions of following the path to become a teacher, however, the idea of helping people achieve health and well-being by using recreation and leisure as a therapeutic tool was far more appealing. As part of completing a four year undergraduate degree in recreation and leisure studies at Brock University Jen moved to the Maritimes to complete her practical internship experience. Although she intended to only stay for those four months, she was immediately drawn to the east coast charm and hospitality and has been proud to call Nova Scotia home for the last 11 years.
Jen currently works at Children's Intensive Services (CIS), an overnight and day treatment program that provides mental health services to families and children 12 years of age and under. In her role as an recreation therapist on the team Jen supports children and families to explore, develop, and foster the many therapeutic benefits of engaging in meaningful recreation and leisure…and to PLAY and have fun of course!
The part that Jen enjoys the most about her job is finding and creating opportunities for children to achieve and realize their full potential. Whether it is by supporting a child to develop or master a skill or by teaching the ways recreation and leisure can be used as a regulation tool, the greatest joy of being a recreation therapist at CIS is watching children thrive when they become fully immersed in a recreation/leisure experience because it is the right fit for them. This is where the growth and change happens.
Jen looks forward to continuing to work closely with families and community partners to help set kids up for success not only at CIS but in their homes, schools, and communities. She is eager much like many others to get back to some sense of normal with regards to recreation and leisure activities within her own community as well.
To her fellow RT teammates and mental health colleagues, keep smiling, keep finding joy in the things you love, and keep inspiring others to grow!
Our Comfort Promise to Ethan


2 in 1 jig, cutting a straight line and making tapered cuts. It will allow me to get an angle from 0 to 7º. First I had to cut 2 pieces of plywood to the width. I kept its original length of 61 cm.
Then I had to cut a bolt head groove. The router bit I was using was too small in diameter so I had to do 2 passes and some freehand routing.
I switched for a smaller router bit and cut the grooves for bolt threads.
Once the bottom part was cut I moved to the top part. This time the only router bit I had was too short, so the top piece had to be cut from both sides. Not a perfect groove, but it will be covered by another washer and butterfly nut.
I kept the bottom piece square to maximize the reference line, the contact surface between the table saw fence and the jig. The top part, however, could be rounded.
I did light sanding and it was ready for attaching the toggle clamps.
First I had to cut spacer blocks for each set of clamps.
Sanding, routing etc … – the usual.
Then I realiazed that the bigger block was way too wide – back to the table saw – what I was thinking?!
Countersunk screws wouldn't look good in this project, but they cut the thread in the wood for the proper screws.
Drilling holes for the bigger block. This time I used countersunk screws.
Taking everything apart, applying wood oil and putting it back together.
The wood oil dried very fast. I used my impact driver to assembly the jig.


The abdominoplasty recovery period typically lasts several weeks. At the Fairfield County, Connecticut office of Dr. David Passaretti, we are happy to help patients through tummy tuck recovery.
DR. DAVID PASSARETTI: As with any surgery, there is some pain. But we'll give you medication and we'll make you're comfortable. And remember, patients say that the long-lasting, slimming results were well worth any short-term discomfort. I'll see you the day following your surgery and will make sure that you're up and walking. For the best results, I want you to rest to help minimize the pull on the incision, but I do encourage light walking to aid in circulation. Everyone's recovery time is different, but patients usually find that in about two weeks they're feeling well enough to return to work. The compression garment we fit to your body can be hidden under your clothes and I'll ask you to wear it for at least a month following your surgery. Whatever the details, my staff and I will be with you every step along the way to make your recovery as comfortable as possible. When are you thinking about having surgery?

Q: How to select IP and check if the time it was inserted is not less than 2min
*

*I want to check if the time a message was inserted into a table is not less than 2min from the same IP address.

*if time is not yet 2min from last insertion, echo how many minutes and seconds left before a user can come back and send a message from that very same IP.

*I have a column 'mtime' (mysql, Type: datetime) which records the time a message was inserted into the table, so i hear my format must be in Unix, how do i convert to that in this process?
Here's my rough PHP.
   require_once '../php/db_conx.php';
if (!$con){
die(mysql_error());
}
  $ip = mysql_real_escape_string($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    $query = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE ip = '$ip' AND mtime >= ' ".strtotime('2 minutes')."'";
    $result = mysql_query($query);

    if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
      echo "You can only send 1 message every 2min.(eg $timeleft) before you can send your next message..";
    }

A: SELECT * FROM messages WHERE ip = '$ip' AND mtime >= NOW() - INTERVAL 2 MINUTE

to get seconds left
SELECT mtime - (now()- interval 2 minute) AS secondsLeft
FROM messages
WHERE ip = '$ip' AND mtime >= now() - interval 2 minute;

your php may look like something like this
$result = mysql_query($query,$con);
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_NUM))
{
    echo "seconds Left: ".$row[0];
}
else
{
    //some code here to insert new record maybe
}

Winning Edge Specialist Football (AFL), Netball or Basketball Programs.
Q: Can I use the sessions with any fitness program?
The packs can be applied to any session. Your coach will advise you on which programs are most suitable for you and we encourage you to participate in any sessions you wish to!
Q: Do I need a fitness assessment prior to commencing?
Your coach will ask you about your health and well-being prior to you commencing, and we will tailor our training to suit you.
Q. Is it possible to be a 'pay as you go' casual member of Winning Edge?
Our policy is for membership fees to be paid upfront per term, however in cases with extenuating circumstances WEA may approve the payment for sessions to be made on a casual basis. WEA reserves the right to make a judgement on a case by case basis and casual payment requires approval from management prior to commencing the selected program.
Q. Can children make up sessions during other timeslots if they are unable to attend on their regular day?
Yes. Members are entitled to make up any missed sessions at another time or location for the same program. We simply ask that parents notify us of this change wherever possible.
Q: Do the packs expire?
You have 12 months to use the vouchers up. If you have an injury and are unable to train, we can extend the expiry for you. Please talk to us, we are happy to help!
Q. Is the Academy only for athletic children?
Winning Edge Academy caters for all abilities. Some of our programs are selective and require a certain level of performance; however WEA also provide development programs for children to work towards gaining entry into these elite Academies in the future. Winning Edge is a life Academy and we endeavour to help all children unlock their potential through participation in our programs.
Q. Is the training uniform compulsory?
The Winning Edge training uniform is currently compulsory for members of our High Performance Fitness and Elite Running Programs. Members of other programs will be required to purchase the uniform by the end of 2016 if continuing with WEA in 2017. The training merchandise will then be compulsory for all sessions from the start of Term 1 2017. This decision has been made to support the overall culture of the Academy as we have found many children solely associate with the children from their school when wearing school uniforms to sessions. At Winning Edge we are 'one team' and the official training uniform supports this ethos.
Q. Do you have to be a member to attend the Winning Edge School Holiday Camps?
No. School holiday camps are open to all children in the country and metropolitan area who meet the guidelines of the specific camp (eg Age/Gender/Sport). WEA members will however be given first preference in securing places for camps.

US Navy launches AGM-154 from F-35C Lightning II aircraft
4 April 2016	(Last Updated April 4th, 2016 18:30)
The US Navy has conducted the launch of the AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) aboard an F-35C Lightning II aircraft over the Atlantic Test Ranges, Patuxent River, Maryland.
The test marks the first of a series of JSOW separation tests scheduled to be conducted this year.
During the mission, the test aircraft, designated as CF-05, released the 1,000lb air-to-surface guided glide bomb from an internal weapons bay.
"The AGM-154 JSOW is part of a family of low-cost, air-to-surface glide missiles manufactured by Raytheon."
The mission was carried out by the F-35 Lightning II Pax River ITF joint team, assigned to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23, aboard Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland.
The weapon system enables aircraft to remain outside the threat of typical enemy anti-aircraft and counter air defences, while effectively engaging and destroying targets.
The JSOW can be launched from air force, navy or marine aircraft. The missile has been integrated on F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18, AV-8B Harrier, B-2 Spirit and B-52 bombers, and A-10 aircraft.
It is also operated by armed forces in Australia, Finland, Greece, Poland, Singapore, and Turkey.
The F-35C Lightning II aircraft is the naval variant of the standard F-35 fifth-generation fighter operated by the US Air Force (USAF).
The aircraft combines stealth with supersonic speed and high agility, as well as the most powerful and comprehensive sensor package ever placed in a fighter jet.
