The effect of the high-protein breakfast seemed to last into the evening, when the women munched less on fatty, sugary goods than the women who had cereal for breakfast. Any suggestions how I can use your plan without extra purchases? He knew what he was doing was wrong, why else would he have to sneak and charge me. The food Nutrisystem offers is also excellent. Hi Mary, We are so sorry to hear about your poor experience with the delivery of your foods, the food itself, and the representative you dealt with. Buy unsweetened iced tea, plain yogurt, or unflavored oatmeal, for example, and add sweetener or fruit yourself. Choose calorie-free mixers, drink only with food, and monitor your blood glucose as alcohol can interfere with diabetes medication and insulin.
If I need it again, I'll try the vegetarian meals as I hear they're just as tasty and easy to prepare as the Basic Plan. I gave the Basic Plan 4 stars because one shipment of food I received was missing two snack bars. Be sure to count your food when you get it to ensure everything is there.
Maybe I'll need to start excercising afterall. When I started the program I did not know if I would stick with it. Diets can be hard to stick with sometimes. However, the Nutrisystem plan is not hard to stick with. The plan is laid out so simply that anyone can follow it. The Nutrisystem plan comes with a money back guarantee. If a person joins the program and does not like it he can receive his money back. The plan is so easy to follow.
I have lost 22 pounds on the program while eating things like chocolate cake. Unlike Medifast, the food is delicious. If you are thinking of trying the plan but are afraid that you will not like the food please stop worrying. The Nutrisystem plan comes with a great menu with foods on the menu that are very delicious.
Not only do I not like to cook, I just don't have the time to cook. It requires you to drastically reduce the amount of food you eat, usually to a maximum of calories per day.
VLCDs use meal replacements like drinks, shakes, and prepared food bars instead of meals for at least two meals a day. VLCDs are meant for people who are very overweight and have been unable to lose weight after trying many diet plans.
This diet can be dangerous and requires medical supervision. Read on to learn more about the risks and goals of the calorie diet. They do this by weighing your general health concerns against the risks and potential complications of drastic calorie reduction.
A diet like this has risks and precautions associated with it. A doctor should supervise you while on this diet. Some people use a calorie diet as part of the recently popularized 5: Under this plan, you eat a balanced Mediterranean-style diet of about calories for five days of the week and then limit yourself to low-carbohydrate calories per day for the other two days.
There is very little evidence to support the benefits of 5: You can get an idea of how much or how little calories is when you consider the calorie count of popular foods. The USDA calculates that two handfuls of peanuts or a slice of pepperoni pizza contains about calories. An apple contains fewer than 80 calories, while two pieces of fried chicken contain about calories. You might also want to consider how many calories you burn in a day. According to the Harvard Medical School , a pound person burns 72 calories by just sitting in a one-hour meeting.
One of the problems with a calorie diet is that it places no limits on the fats and carbohydrates you consume. A serving of chocolate pound cake and a glass of milk adds up to about calories. Regardless of calorie count, a well-rounded diet includes fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Being healthy is about a lot more than just a number.
The greatest dangers associated with a calorie diet relate to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can lead to many health problems. In fact, most people cannot meet their vitamin and mineral requirements if they eat less than calories per day. For example, according to the Mayo Clinic , if your diet lacks the mineral zinc , which is in pumpkin seeds and beef, you can suffer hair loss.
A calorie diet can also put you at danger for muscle loss. At first, muscle loss may seem like you are losing more weight, but keep in mind that not all weight is bad. To keep your body healthy, you need to be able to build muscles. A healthy diet burns fat, not muscle.
Another health risk to keep in mind when considering a calorie diet is that your metabolism will change when you reduce the amount of calories you eat for a long enough period of time.

Chloe Lukasiak 2017: 'Dance Moms' Season 7 Star Still Suffering From Silent Sinus Syndrome?
8:00 AM EST 3/9/2017 by Kathleen Nava, Celebeat Reporter
Chloe Lukasiak's eye had been an interesting subject for quite awhile. Although the fomer "Dance Moms" star has previously revealed that she already underwent surgery to fix the problem, it seems like her recent pictures and videos shows that she's still dealing with the problem.
The 15-year-old dancer, actress, and model loves sharing her favorite moments in her social media accounts. However, one of her posts showed that one of her eyes is still noticeably smaller than the other. The former "Dance Moms" star has already shared that she went through surgery to fix her Silent Sinus Syndrome, so when her other eye still appear to be smaller than the other, many wondered if she is still suffering from it.
Chloe Lukasiak was a guest star in "The Doctors" back in 2015 where she revealed that she was recovering well after the surgery. The size of her eyes looked as identical as possible at the time, but it seems like her recent Instagram post revealed that the other one is noticeably smaller again. Although not as small as before, it is still quite noticeable.
A post shared by Chloe Lukasiak (@chloelukasiak) on Mar 8, 2017 at 7:48pm PST
Chloe Lukasiak and her mom Christi have not made any updates regarding the former "Dance Moms" star Silent Sinus Syndrome diagnosis, so fans are just left to wonder if what is going on. It could be that the "Center Stage: On Pointe" star is completely healed from her eye problem but it's just impossible for peepers to be as identical after suffering from a serious illness. Or it could also mean that she still has a long way to go to be completely Silent Sinus Syndrome-free and they just want keep things private like they did before.
Chloe Lukasiak may have started her career in "Dance Moms," but it was also on that show that she possibly have experienced her first ever public humiliation. Terror dance teacher Abby Lee Miller has pointed out that the "Center Stage: On Pointe" star had a "lazy eye," resulting to Chloe Lukasiak and her mom leaving the show. Little did the ALDC owner know that Chloe Lukasiak was actually suffering from a serious condition called Silent Sinus Syndrome.

Another season of adventures over for me but I'm already looking forward to seeing you all again next season!
I have had another season of adventures and I know we missed out on the playoffs towards the end, but we can look forward to summer and come back stronger.
When we played Chesterfield at home we were lucky enough to have birds of prey on display and I even got up close and personal with them (pictured below). At the end of November I was lucky enough to join you at Rochdale where we won 3-1, I do enjoy away days with you all.
At Christmas time I attended the annual hospital visit with a few of the players. It is always sad to see poorly children around that time of year, but we managed to spread lots of smiles across all the faces on the Children's Ward.
I enjoyed my visit to London Road and caught up with my friend Peter Burrow, we always have lots of fun, especially climbing in a skip at half time for fans to shoot balls at us, none reached us though!
In February we started the Pukka Pie Row Party which I was so nervous about, I didn't want to fall over with 12 pies! It was a lot of fun during the season and if you were lucky enough to have been selected, well done and hope you enjoyed your treat.
I always enjoy my time in the family stand on match days and have been known to play table tennis with the kids! I'm really looking forward to doing this again next season.
I met Boomer the dog at Port Vale and at half time we visited the disabled area where I was delighted to see our loyal supporter, Patrick Queens. I met some fantastic people and was well looked after. Yes, Boomer was top dog after their 3-0 victory, but let's see what happens next season!
On St Patrick's Day we played Swindon Town and we had a group of Irish dancers in the family stand, Erik the Viking and me joined in. It was funny but also very tiring, we are not afraid to try new things!
Doncaster Rovers Belles invited me to attend their charity night for Hannah Brown and I got to meet their mascot 'Velda'. I was straight on the dance floor with my many dance moves and everyone was entertained!
Captain Cod visited the stadium for the first time when we played Fleetwood Town at the end of the season; it is always good to have visiting mascots.
The Legends match on 19th April was one of the most enjoyable moments of the season. It was great to see so many familiar faces back at the Club; Gregg Blundell, Brian Stock, Jason Price to name a few.
The photo of that day (below) was the legend himself, James Coppinger walking towards me at the end of the match.
That leads us on to the final game against Scunthorpe United. The weather started wet and miserable, but the sun came out and we had lots of goals to jump about to.
I enjoyed the family fun day activities in the concourse and even took part in the crazy golf! I hope you all saw my cartwheel into the centre circle?
On my pukka pie run I made one lady very happy in the family stand and I even watched some of the first half from up there, what a great view. At half time I was up against some strange characters in our mascot race; Frenchie the cat (Frenchgate Centre), Pizza Hut, One Call birds, Archie (Doncaster Racecourse), Vila (The Dons), Donny the White Knight (Doncaster Knights rugby) and my good friend Erik the Viking.
Ready, steady, go and I was off as quick as a flash. I got to the ball and who could forget my shot that went wide, but luckily I got the ball back and I didn't make the same mistake again- back of the net and I won! I did some acrobatics and was unaware of the chaos behind me. I ached for a few days after so I stayed in my kennel and couldn't go on my daily walks.
It was all a great end to the season and thank you all for your support. I can't wait to see you all next season.
I will be attending events during the summer so look out for me at Bessacarr tournament and the Town Fields Gala. Also look out for me in the Frenchgate Shopping Centre and if you see me, don't forget to take a selfie to be in with a chance of winning tickets to a Doncaster Rovers game!
Family Season Tickets are available for the 2015/16 season from just £359 and with Doncaster Rovers winning the Family Excellence Award for the eighth year running next season promises to be an experience the kids will never forget!

Welcome Guest! You are here: Home » National
Supreme Court nod on river interlinking
Tuesday February 28, 2012 08:20:50 AM, IANS
New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday gave the green signal for implementing the ambitious project to interlink India's rivers, saying it was in national interest. The court noted that the long delay in the execution of the project has already added to cost over-runs.
A bench of Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia, Justice A.K.Patnaik and Justice Swatanter Kumar directed the central government to constitute a "Special Committee for Inter-linking of Rivers" to be headed by the water resources minister to work out the roadmap for the project.
Pronouncing the judgment, Justice Swatanter Kumar said, "This is a matter of national benefit and progress. We see no reason why any state should lag behind in contributing its bit to bring the Inter-linking River Program to a success, thus saving the people living in drought-prone zones from hunger and people living in flood-prone areas from the destruction caused by floods."
The special committee will have the water resources secretary, the environment and forests secretary, the Central Water Commission chairman and the National Water Development Authority member secretary as its members.
Besides this there will be four experts to be nominated, one each from the ministries of water resources, finance, environment and forests and the Planning Commission. The minister for water and/or irrigation from each of the concurring states whill also be members.
The committee will also have two social activists on it besides senior counsel Ranjit Kumar who was amicus curiae in the matter before the court.
The committee constituted under this order shall be responsible for carrying out the inter-linking program. Its decisions shall take precedence over all administrative bodies created under the orders of this court or otherwise, the court said.
The panel will submit a bi-annual report to the central cabinet placing before it the status-cum-progress report as well as all the decisions required to be taken, the apex court said.
The cabinet shall take all final and appropriate decisions, in the interest of the countries as expeditiously as possible and preferably within thirty days from the date the matters are first placed before it for consideration, the court said.
In a direction of far-reaching consequence, the court granted "liberty to the learned Amicus Curiae to file contempt petition in this court, in the event of default or non-compliance of the directions contained in this order".
"Huge amounts of public money have been spent, at the planning stage itself and it will be travesty of good governance and the epitome of harm to public interest, if these projects are not carried forward with a sense of sincerity and a desire for its completion," the court said.
Referring to the inter-state river water dispute resolution mechanism, the judgment said: "It is this kind of coordination which is required to be generated at all levels to implement the inter-linking of rivers program, as proposed."

38 Cloth Fair, Smithfield, London, EC1A 7JQ.
8th Feb 2009 - A small Sam Smiths pub hidden away by St Barts. Opinion is usually split over this pub, you either love it or loathe it.
The pub has two bars, a fairly basic but charming one downstairs and a slightly more comfy one upstairs with sofas.
The downstairs bar is open all the time and has a dartboard and some board games and can get fairly busy at lunch and after work. The dart board is in regula use from the small gang of regulars.
The upstairs bar isn't open as much as it should be, seemingly only during busy times and sometimes not even then.
Food is ok but Sam Smiths recently standardised their menus across all pubs. It used to be down to the landlord and this pun in particular has come off worse for the change.
It has a high turn over of Landlords, one once told me that it was used as training pub for new mangaers due to it's smallish size.
29th Jul 2008 - I 've just found this pub last week and I think i'ts a real traditional English pub. I took my kids for Sunday Roast and I was very impressed.
I will strongly recommend it to other people!!!!
6th Dec 2004 - Being a Sam Smiths pub, The Rising Sun is cheap and simple, which makes it great in my book. A proper locals pub, you always find a seat and it doesn't take long to get a beer. The dart board and the quiz night on a Tuesday also help to make this one of my favourite pubs near the meat market. It used to be my work local, but I don't go in so much any more as the hangover from the Samuels Smith's beer can be quite debilitating.
12th Nov 2004 - I've always had a soft spot for the 'Sun', no particular reason - it's pretty standard, but quiet and a bit hidden away if you just want quick, and easy cheeky one after work.
21st Oct 2004 - Once witnessed a man who'd pooed himself in this pub which put me off ever since (ok it was about 3 years ago but still...). Cheap beer (though Sam Smiths lager is always a bit funny tastin). Cheapish food, darts, quiz night. Nothing spectacular here really.


One day a man in the Army was reading his instructions from the General about what he was to do that day. Now the General of the Army was highly respected and loved. Someone happened to walk by and asked, "What are you reading?" The man answered, "I'm reading my instructions from the General. I need to know what he'd like me to do today." The other man said, "Why should you care what he thinks? What does it matter to him what you do?" The man answered, "But you're not in the Army. You've never met the General. When you read these you might feel you can do nothing. When I read them, I can do no less."
It means to respond to God the same way He responds to us. It's an attitude that says that to live for Christ - nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.


We've seen a huge influx of users looking for info about all of the Black Friday notebook deals and wanted to answer some common questions. Here's a list of things to consider before rushing into a big-box retailer and snatching the lowest-priced notebook you can find.
You're not the only one that thinks $229 for a notebook is a great deal. You'll have plenty of company vying for all those 'limited quantities' notebooks, and a lot of people don't exactly have that holiday spirit at 5am. Bring friends to help defend your place in line and be prepared for some extreme rudeness, pushing and shoving. If you really want the best deals plan on skipping Thanksgiving dinner and camping out overnight.
If you're on Notebooks.com, chances are you're already researching what kind of notebook you want. Black Friday is no time to decide which notebook you want. The stores will be mad houses and you'll be lucky if an employee will be able to talk to you for more than a few seconds. Go to the store prior to Thanksgiving and test out the notebook you want. In many cases the exact model won't be on the floor until Black Friday, but there are usually very similar models you can play with.
Yes, '$400 off', 'Save $300' and '$200 discount' all sound good, but they don't always mean what they should. Retailers base Black Friday savings on the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), not the notebook's most recent price. For example- CompUSA is advertising a $400 discount on the HP Pavilion HDX on Black Friday, but the retailer has been selling it at a $300 discount for some time.
Retail notebooks have long and confusing model numbers, making it difficult to comparison shop. This makes it all but impossible to get a retailer to price match a Black Friday deal, even if it's not of limited quantities. This is how retailers can all claim to have 'exclusive' models.
Here's some basic decoding info for each of the major models being sold so you can compare Black Friday notebooks. Try going to the manufacturer's web site and configuring a notebook with the same specs as the Black Friday notebook you're considering to see how good the deal is and if it's worth waiting in line. The specs will vary depending on the exact model number, but understanding the numbering scheme makes it easier to comparison shop. Some manufacturers are offering aggressive discounts- HP is offering $400 off several notebook models.
If you hate lines consider buying a notebook directly from the manufacturer of your choice. They usually offer good value for your money, but you won't have the best selection. Apple, for example, is currently discounting MacBook Pros by $300 on the Apple Clearance store. Dell has some great values at the Dell Outlet as well.
Many of the entry-level Black Friday notebooks are equipped with 1GB of memory, but the deal everyone is talking about the most is the A135-s7403 at Best Buy for $229. One GB of RAM is the absolute minimum you should have with a Vista equipped notebook. Two gigs is highly recommended for multi -taskers. Upgrading your notebook's memory is the easiest and cheapest thing you can do to get a performance bump out of your cheap notebook. Get a notebook with at least 2GB of memory if you can afford it, or plan on buying a memory upgrade kit later. Two gigs of memory will cost about $50 at most online discount stores like NewEgg and TigerDirect.
A lot of Black Friday notebooks require you to send in a rebate form to get the advertised price. Don't forget to bring enough cash/credit limit to pay the full in-store price. Ask for a clarification on when the rebate expires and how soon you need to mail it in. It's way too easy to miss the mailing deadline, which means more profit for the retailers and less savings for you.
Many retailers sell current models, but some Black Friday notebooks are nearing the end of their product lifecycle. All of the manufacturers will be announcing new notebook models the first week of 2008 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2008). Don't be surprised and angry when an update to your Black Friday laptop is announced a few days after Christmas.
Black Friday always brings out the cheapest deals of the year, but usually only on the lowest-end mainstream consumer notebooks. While a few thousand lucky people will get a decent computer for $400 or less, most shoppers will be left out in the cold. There are deals year-round, with manufacturers regularly running $400-off, 20%-off, 30%-off and other promos, especially around national holidays, after the holidays,New years, back to school season, graduation season, tax season, Valentine's Day and whenever the manufacturers are lagging behind sales targets. Some of the best deals crop up as limited time offers just before the end of the month or financial quarter.
Some retailers offer more liberal return policies during the holiday season, but they usually have the most restrictive terms on laptops. If you're buying a computer on Black Friday (Nov. 23) and give it as a Christmas gift, your child/significant other/parent may not be able to exchange it if there's something about it that doesn't suit their needs.
Extended warranties are pretty much pure profit for retailers. Some people just feel more comfortable 'knowing' their laptops are protected, but extended warranties are usually a rip off. All of the Black Friday notebooks come with at least a one-year warranty. If you want an extra year of protection use a credit card that doubles your warranty (American Express does this and that's why use AMEX to buy my computers, but other premium credit cards do this as well) or buy your notebook from a retailer that extends your warranty for free- Costco is the only one that I know of.
This was very helpful. It certainly makes you take a step backwards and re-evaluate your potential purchases.
Thanks for the tips, I was actually looking to buy a laptop and wasn't sure what to look for. There is no way I am getting in those stores at 5am and going through the madness with my 2 year old. I would rather shop online.
Hello im getting the compaq Presario C717NR. The cheap one 299. And its thursday. and im going to my grandmas on friday. So unless i convince my mother to take me there between 5 am and 11. am. then im screwed. It also says that its suppose to be online to buy. but its not. so i dont know what to do. It say online only in store. So i hope i can get this. Good guide and if i get it i plan to upgrade to 2 gig ram. or ill just install xp pro.
Vincent -Don't know where you live, but you're probably too late if you aren't there already. I just stopped by my Best Buy and there were at least 200 people in line already.

Afghan refugees regard Pakistan as home
Hafeez Ullah Haideri, 47, has been living in Pakistan over the past four decades as an Afghan refugee. He has a vague image of his house in Afghanistan as he was very young when his father had to leave their hometown due to unrest.
Naturally, like millions of Afghan refugees living in Pakistan, Haideri feels more associated with Pakistan, a land which does not belong to him in law but he loves to bits, than that of his ancestral Afghanistan, where his forefathers are buried.
"Now my kids are even taller than me, if this (Pakistan) is not our country, no place in the world will be. I visited Afghanistan twice after growing up but the moment I left Pakistan, my heart became so uncomfortable that I wanted to leave everything and come back here," Haideri told Xinhua.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Pakistan is hosting over 1.4 million Afghan refugees, making the country the second largest host of refugee population in the world.
Some refugees have been living in Pakistan for three generations. They have established their business here, and some of them have even married locals and have been deeply integrated into society. They do not think of going back to Afghanistan even in their wildest dreams as it would mean starting everything again from scratch.
The interim stay of Afghan refugees extended by the Pakistani government is coming to an end on June 30, and Minister of State for States and Frontier Region Shehryar Khan Afridi affirmed that his country supports voluntary repatriation of the Afghan refugees residing in Pakistan in safety and dignity.
In a recent meeting, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the UNHCR agreed to launch an awareness program to enable Afghan refugees to make a decision to voluntarily return, with the facilitation and coordination of Pakistan.
Many Afghan refugees hope that the Pakistani government will again extend the deadline of their stay in the county. However, it is still unclear whether the Pakistani authorities will do it or not.
Abdul Jamal, 16, was born and bred in Pakistan. As a college student, Jamal knows all national songs of Pakistan. He celebrates Pakistan's Independence Day in his school in Islamabad where he is one of the very few refugee boys. He supports the Pakistani cricket team and is more heartbroken than anyone when the team loses its match.
"When my mom tells me that maybe someday we have to leave here and go back to our home Afghanistan, I become very upset. How can I call a place my home where I have never been in my whole life, and why the place where I was born is not my motherland? I agree that I am an outsider here, but I am not just a refugee, but a human being like others who are made of flesh and blood, who have emotions and who get very scared to think that the place where he was born does not belong to him and he has to leave it sooner or later."
In Pakistan, 68 percent of refugee population has been integrated with mainstream Pakistani population, while 32 percent were living in camps, according to the minister.
Local analysts believed that with shrinking international support to Afghan refugees in Pakistan, it will be hard for the country to bear such a big refugee population with its limited resources.
In a conversation with Xinhua, Kalsoom Sumra, assistant professor of Public Policy in Comsats Institute of Information and Technology Islamabad, said that 85 percent of the refugee population are being patronized by developing countries across the world, and it is very unfortunate that developed countries keep on shutting their doors on them.
"If developed nations show support to Pakistan and play their roles according to their international commitments and UN conventions, refugees can have a good lifestyle in their camps with better education and health facilities, without being a burden on Pakistani economy."
Afridi said at an event that the world should get united to heal the wounds of refugees who were torn by wars across the world.
"Why the world needs a body of a child on a coast to wake up to the refugee issue? It's about time that the nations who are silent spectators should come forth and extend support to Afghan refugees."

If you come to my blog very often - and read my supply list - you'll find that often times I use "DP from my scrap file". I own lots and lots and LOTS of DP (paper pads and loose pages) but I tend to go to my scrap file first to see if there is something that will work in there. It just seems to be the way I create.
There isn't anything on this card that wasn't a partial piece of paper when I started, even the card base was left over from a previous card.
I hope you'll participate in the "Use Your Paper Scraps" Challenge!
Great use of your lovely scraps to create this beautiful card Jeanette, cute stamp too!
This card is great! I love the color combination you used!
You have certainly turned these scraps into a delightful birthday design!!

Women's History Month Spotlight: Lindsay Alexovich
For Women's History Month, we recently met with our Chief Accounting Officer, Lindsay Alexovich, for her thoughts on leadership, mentorship, and how she helps to create a collaborative and inclusive environment for her team members and all Metromilers.
How did you get started in the finance space?
My mom was the first person who suggested I take my love for math and use it to get involved in accounting. So, in college, I studied business with specializations in accounting while also pursuing a mathematics degree and constantly debated whether I wanted to become an actuary, statistician, or accountant. I realized I enjoyed the business side of things and working with people in corporate strategy so I chose business and accounting though, to this day, I still have a great love for math.
The Accounting field isn't known for topping diversity lists. Can you talk about any barriers you have faced as a woman in the finance industry?
Before Metromile, I worked at one of the largest accounting firms in the country and while they did emphasize gender equality and the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion, I still experienced unintended and blind gender biases. Overwhelmingly, I felt fairly treated and very supported by the organization, but I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge that this is continuously a work in progress no matter the company – the firm's values and commitment to continual progress and improvement were some of the main reasons I chose that firm.
For example, early in my career, female team members were often assumed to take the lead in organizing social events. Instead of simply following the course, I took the opportunity to do a few things differently: I planned the heck out of an event that I was passionate about and went beyond the norm by pulling together a presentation for that event. I created an opportunity for myself that increased my visibility and showed my business prowess. The best part was that I presented my project to a very prominent partner who wouldn't have otherwise been available. That partner ended up becoming a significant promoter, mentor, and sponsor of me in the years ahead, for which I'll always be grateful.
Your team is almost 90% women, how have you been able to champion a space and career path for them and build your team?
When it comes to building a team, a big focus should be on paying attention to who you're hiring and making sure that they're coming in with shared values. For us, that means being very focused on high-quality teamwork, embodying the highest integrity, and, as cliche as it sounds, putting your ego aside.
After hiring, it's my desire as a leader to learn about our team members. What interests them? What are their strengths? What do they love to do? Hate to do? What motivates them? How do they like to be recognized? A team is a sum of all its parts and you can't expect one person to be able to do everything, so as a leader I want to let everybody work on and excel at what they're good at, while also challenging themselves in new areas. I encourage my team members to boost their skills and knowledge by leaning on their peers, stepping out of their comfort zones, and curating a space where it is safe to "fail" or make mistakes and try again.
I don't actually like using the term "fail" but it's important to create an environment that enables people to try new things and cultivate learnings without putting the company in an unfavorable position if and when things don't go quite as planned. As a leader, one of the biggest things you can do is just offer that space and exposure to people on your team, and I'm constantly encouraging my managers to think the same way and pass along that mindset. After all, we don't grow by doing the same things that we already know we're good at; we grow by putting ourselves out there and having a willingness to try, knowing it likely won't go perfectly.
Even as a leader, I am continuously learning from my teams and am beyond grateful I get to experience them grow, show up, and push for themselves and each other every day.
As a member of Metromile's executive team, your leadership is valuable to all women at the company. What are some of the ways you've been able to show up and be supportive of your fellow female colleagues?
Whether within my team or not, it's important to create an environment that encourages women to speak up and to ask probing questions that can lead to increased visibility and recognition. Even for those who are more introverted, it's key to shine the spotlight on and advocate for a team member's accomplishments both behind the scenes and publicly, whatever is most appropriate for that individual and circumstance. Connecting your colleagues and mentees to your personal networks can also help a great deal in furthering their exposure, resources, and career.
Promoting and pushing for gender equality and diversity beyond just internal teams is huge especially when thinking about vendor selection and board composition. As a leader, there are many areas where you have a louder voice and it's important to use that power to advocate for change.
Who are some of your female mentors that have had an impact on your own career?
I've been fortunate to have many mentors in my career, personally and professionally. One example that stands out is a woman who helped me navigate a decision in which those worlds collided.
I had been offered a promotion, and this woman helped me to boil down the difficult decision of whether or not I should accept it to its essence.
Earlier in my career, I might have quickly jumped at the promotion. It's easy to get swept up in social norms about achieving as much as possible as quickly as possible. In other words, value is based on what you achieve and produce vs who you are as a person.
This woman reminded me that I am more than my career and that my view of myself, not others' view, is what matters most. I didn't need to default to advancing up the corporate ladder, even if I could do it, even if a man would take the same opportunity with far fewer qualifications and experience than I had, even if others might then view me as "more successful."
She didn't offer an opinion on whether or not I should take the promotion, but instead encouraged me to look inward, asking myself questions that would help me make the decision that was best for me.
What are the core values that you personally live by?
Beyond the decision at hand, what is important to you broadly in life?
How are you fulfilled – personally and professionally?
Answering these questions made me realize that I didn't want the promotion. At the time, accepting it might actually lead to less fulfillment. I'd risk my work-life balance falling out of balance, and not be able to bring my best self to the table each day either at work or at home. I wouldn't be there fully for myself or my teams, family, and friends. The people in my life and those relationships are what is most important to me. It became clear to me that I didn't want to risk that at that time in my life.
I ended up turning down the promotion and all it entailed – more responsibility, a bigger title, and increased compensation. As time has gone on, I've not once looked back and wished I'd made a different decision; instead, I've become even more confident that I made the right choice – it absolutely was the right decision for me. It didn't close doors to further advancement; in fact, it opened new doors and led to opportunities I may not have otherwise thought about or encountered.
Can you talk about your views on mentorship versus sponsorship, how you yourself have benefited from both, and any advice for those looking to mentor or be mentored?
Both are important, but at different times and for different reasons. Mentorship is about individuals gaining experience and learning what kind of contributor, leader, and manager they want to be. Part of this is gaining insight from those who have a perspective and experiences that are different from their own as it helps us continually improve and evolve.
Sponsorship, on the other hand, can create opportunities for individuals that might not otherwise exist. It shows that the sponsor not only believes in the individual and recognizes them, but has such confidence in them and their work, their style, and their values that they eagerly put their name and reputation on the line to support them – what a gift it is to advocate for future leaders. Whether sponsoring or mentoring it all goes back to us helping one another to be and to do our best, not only as employees and leaders but as human beings.
I've certainly benefited from mentorship and sponsorship. Numerous new and challenging opportunities and experiences have been afforded to me because I built relationships with mentors and sponsors who then supported and advocated for me in an effort to advance my career and my skills as a leader and manager of people. From these relationships, I've gotten exposure to experience exciting international and high-profile assignments and lead new initiatives, departments, and Metromile going public – and I look forward to even more to come with Lemonade!
My advice: take mentorship and sponsorship seriously and appreciate it – the development of people is an awesome responsibility and a blessing. I believe it's most successful when people can put down their defenses and egos and become vulnerable about what's important and what's challenging, this is what establishes deep connections and relationships. As Brene Brown says, "vulnerability is not a weakness, it's our greatest measure of courage." You'll know when you've found that connection with someone, whether it's a mentee, mentor, sponsee, or sponsor. And when you find it, give it your full attention because something great will surely come of it.
The 2022 theme of Women's History Month is "Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope." It's easy to see how your work as a certified yoga instructor and your studies towards becoming a UC Master Gardener can play a role here – can you talk more about how these have helped promote your own well-being and others' well-being, too?
I completed my yoga teacher training before the pandemic but as we stayed in our homes over the past two years, yoga and meditation became an even bigger part of my routine. I often turned to yoga during times of very high stress as it grounds me and helps me take a pause. I've even been able to incorporate some of my yoga learnings into my leadership style to make space for my teams to simply take a breath at times of high stress and emphasize the bigger picture. I'm constantly thinking and telling folks that there's nothing that you can't find a solution for and yoga and mindfulness practices are what helped me embrace that way of thinking.
Connecting with Mother Nature helps me incorporate wellness and hope for my teams, which is one of many reasons I am currently studying to get my Master Gardener certification. In times of stress, I like to go and play in the dirt to get calm – there's just something about having your bare feet and hands connect with the Earth. Both being a yoga teacher and training to be a Master Gardener help me remember who I am inside and outside the workplace and – as corny as it sounds – spread love and kindness throughout.

U.S. News & World Report: UVA again No. 1 hospital in Virginia
Published Tuesday, Jul. 28, 2020, 8:53 am
U.S. News & World Report has ranked University of Virginia Medical Center as the No. 1 hospital in Virginia. The publication's 2020-2021 "Best Hospitals" guide also ranks eight UVA specialties among the best in the nation.
Two specialties are in the top 50 nationally:
Gynecology: Tied for 41st
Ear, Nose and Throat: 42nd
Six specialties are rated "high performing," ranking them among the top 10% nationally:
Pulmonology & Lung Surgery
Based primarily on care provided to patients ages 65 and older, UVA is also rated "high performing" – the best possible score – on nine common conditions and procedures:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Aortic valve surgery
Colon cancer surgery
Heart bypass surgery
Lung cancer surgery
U.S. News' criteria include patient outcomes, patient experience, advanced technologies, physician surveys and accreditations from outside groups such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Magnet recognition for nursing care from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. UVA has earned Magnet recognition and is one of 71 NCI-designated cancer centers nationally.
"It is an honor to be ranked the No. 1 hospital in Virginia for the fifth consecutive year, and I want to congratulate and thank our entire team for their efforts to provide the highest-quality care for our patients in a wide array of specialties," said K. Craig Kent, MD, UVA's executive vice president for health affairs. "It is a privilege to serve patients from across Virginia."
These accolades follow honors for UVA Children's earlier this year in the 2020-2021 "Best Children's Hospitals" guide from U.S. News. Five specialties were ranked in the top 50 nationally: pediatric cardiology & heart surgery, pediatric diabetes & endocrinology, pediatric orthopedics, pediatric urology and neonatology.
"These rankings and ratings highlight the breadth of excellent care our team is able to provide for patients of all ages," said Wendy Horton, chief operating officer for UVA Health. "We stand ready to care for Virginia's families."


This week on Android Authority On Air we covered the latest and great Android ecosystem rumors to hit the web since Google IO last week. Will we see Android 4.3 announced and a few new devices come June 10th? We're not sure but, a white Nexus 4 has been spotted again and a new, Google branded media player pass through the FCC.
During IO13, a few Google apps were updated with the new "Holo Card" user interface and the new 3-dash menu indicator for slide out menus. Since IO, a handful of Google apps have been updated to reflect this new gorgeous design. So far we have Play Music, Magazines, Books, Shopping, Drive, YouTube, and Google Earth all reflecting these new design guidelines. Rumors point to a new Maps and new Gmail in the near future.
On the device front, the big news this week is a reported, imminent release of a completely stock HTC One. We don't know the price, carriers, or availability; we only know it's pretty damn awesome. The current Sense based HTC One has sold 5 million units thus far and its' competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has sold 10 million. #IfIHadGlass contest winners have started to receive their purchase links this week. Another X-Phone variant passed through the FCC. If you're still rockin' last years Samsung Galaxy S3, current leaks will make you happy.
In breaking carrier news, Verizon announced a new partnership at CTIA 2013. It's pretty dam exciting… The severe lack of news coming out of CTIA this year continues to prove that CTIA is a dying conference.
And last but not least for patents Apple seeks to add the Galaxy S4 and Google Now to their current Samsung lawsuit. Yeah, we laughed too.
As always, if you missed the show, you can watch or listen below. Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend!


The Modernist movement, at the beginning of the 20th century, marked the first time that the term "avant-garde", with which the movement was labeled until the word "Modernism" prevailed, was used for the arts. Surrealism was the "the avant-garde of Modernism".
Art historian Clement Greenberg states, "The essence of Modernism lies, as I see it, in the use of characteristic methods of a discipline to criticize the discipline itself, not in order to subvert it but in order to entrench it more firmly in its area of competence. The philosopher Immanuel Kant used logic to establish the limits of logic, and while he withdrew much from its old jurisdiction, logic was left all the more secure in what there remained to it." Modernism, in its attempt to attack everything traditional, created an autocratic liberalism.
In 2013 we live with the consequences of this liberalism. We presume to know more than we know; to solve problems we cannot solve. Along the way we have lost perspective on what time it is. As I have mentioned several times, I love to swim at the YMCA. As my body shape attests, such lugubrious activity to my comfort, but laudable activity to my blood pressure, has done little to help me shed unhealthy pounds. But I do it almost daily. Today, I went swimming. There are two clocks in the pool area: One is located at the beginning of the swimming lanes; one at the end. The one at the beginning is 8 minutes slower than the clock at the end. So, quite literally, I begin at one time–say 4:00PM and I end the lane swim at 4:12PM (It takes me 4 minutes to swim the lane–I know! I am slow!). I love this arrangement. I only swim about 1/2 hour so as long as I start at the time on the beginning clock and end on the time at the ending clock I cheat time out of 8 minutes. I ignore the beginning clock and only look at the ending clock. Sometimes I think our government thinks it can cheat time by playing with the clocks. But it never works. Sooner or later, when I think it is 4:30 and time to quit, I happen to look at the beginning clock and see that it is only 4:22. I live in a sort of blissful ignorance . . . but sooner or later, I will have to realize the real time and that will be a hard thing. Sometimes I wonder if we really know what time it is . . . just thinkin.

In September, 1976 I sat in Harvard University Chapel and heard Pastor Peter Gomes, the Harvard University Chaplain, tell us that we were the best of the best. The hope of America and the world. I and I suppose other Harvard souls were awfully glad to hear that. We certainly wanted to think we were the best. Like I enjoyed doing all over Boston, we wanted to flash our Harvard IDs to God and hope that He was impressed. It turned out He wasn't but that is another story.
those who don't." Why, on that day, should I, a born again, evangelical, be greatly concerned?
British writer Virginia Woolf's assertion that "on or about December 1910, human character changed" is all so true. About that time, Modernism emerged as the primary social and world view in human history. Modernism aims at that radical transformation of human thought in relation to God, man, the world, and life, and death, which was presaged by humanism and 17th century philosophy (e.g., Immanuel Kant), and violently practiced in the French Revolution. French philosopher J.J. Rousseau, was the first to use the term but it will not blossom fully until the 20th century.
If the world view deism suggested that God was out to lunch, Modernism, a cousin of naturalism, suggested that God was absent altogether.
Modernism, in its broadest definition, is cultural tendencies originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The world, including America, had rapidly changed from an agrarian to an urban society in one short generation.
Modernism fervently believed in science and technology. It was an optimistic vision of the future. It was also a revolt against the conservative values of limitation and pragmatism. The trademark of Modernism was its rejection of tradition. Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment epistemology and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God in favor of human progress. The first casualty of this Quixotic thinking was Judeo-Christian morality.
Modernism was universal in its rejection of everything conventional. Literature, art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were all targets of this surprisingly arrogant movement. Perhaps no social movement has been so confident in its moral ambiguity, as Modernism was.
The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 injunction to "Make it new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's approach towards the obsolete. And Pound is a good example of the paradoxes inherent in Modernism. On one hand, Pound embraced a new understanding of human liberty and free expression while embracing nascent totalitarianism and anti-Semitism. Pound, like so many Modernists, felt he could separate his ethics from his world view. This delusion would have disastrous consequences. Adolf Eichmann had a similar view in Nazi Germany and designed and implemented the Holocaust.
Yes, that is right. In what will no doubt bring some nerdy scientist a Nobel Prize, scientists said that after a 50 year search they are confident that they have found a Higgs boson, the elusive subatomic aspect sometimes called the God particle.
And you thought God created the world in 7 days out of nothing. Silly you.
Not so you weary saints! Sagacious scientists tell us that they finally have discovered the definitive, ontological ground zero: the God particle. They suggest that the particle acts like molasses or snow. When other tiny basic building blocks pass through it, they stick together, slow down and form atoms.
Well that makes sense. Silly me—I thought God "spoke" matter into existence. What was I thinking?!?
A scientist states, "The discovery [of the God particle] explains what once seemed unexplainable and still is a big hard for the average person to comprehend." You think???
Apparently this little God particle gathers a bunch of little baby atoms together, at random, by chance into an atom of oxygen, that sticks to some hydrogen, like my granddaughter's Tootsie Roll Pop left by mistake on Christmas, next to the dry sink (don't tell Karen—it has been my job to clean behind the darn thing), has gathered sundry lady bugs, stink bugs, dust particles, and a dime I dropped on President's day.
This God particle gathers up stuff and shazzam—before you know it–life! Man I wondered how that happened—I am relieved that California Institute of Technology has unlocked the mysteries of the universe.
But wait? Pardon me, I am just a poor liberal arts major, but do I not remember from 7th grade earth science class that the best theory, the most plausible theory, is the simplest, most direct, commonsense theory? Right now I am having a really hard time understanding, much less believing the God particle Tootsie Roll theory. What do you think? The Word of God makes a lot more sense to me. But again I do not have the advantage of a Cal Tech degree . . .
First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss. God spoke: "Light!" And light appeared (Genesis 1:1-3 The Message).
Shazzam! Makes sense to me . . .
Almost every morning around 4:30 AM I wake up. I have tried everything I know to stay asleep until dawn at least. Tylenol PM, even some things that are stronger, but nothing works. Like clockwork, at 4:30 AM I wake up.
The silence is surreal and disorienting. This is the silence of a winter country mountain farm. There is no hint of a sound.
Nonetheless, my heart is almost always nearly breaking and I there are screams in my soul that I cannot drown out.
I wistfully reach out and gently touch her shoulder. I dare now wake her up. God knows she works so hard. Loves me so much. Cares for me. I know I am a high maintenance husband. She needs all the sleep she can get. Especially that deep sleep that I know longer enjoy, that sleep between 2-6 AM, that deep nocturnal slumber that serendipitously visits so very rarely to my soul.
In high school I remember my high school teacher, Mr. Watson, asking, "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one hears it, is it sound?" The trees were falling in my forest and the sounds were deafening but I wondered if anyone was around to hear it. And if no one heard my trees fall, was it really sound?
The darkness spoke only silence to my soul. The shadows of trees moving in the wind were my only companions this early morning.
This is, I assure you, the darkest time of every day. The time when night is almost over but daylight has not come.
When I was a boy my dad would take us into the Devil Den swamps near Montrose, Arkansas, to ambush unwary green headed Mallard Ducks at daybreak. Like trolling mine sweepers, dragging our red ball hip books along through antediluvian mud, we would push through down tree limbs, avoiding jutting cypress knees. The swamp had the sweet smell of death. It was rumored that there was an old escaped slave den nearby, a place where runaway slaves would run and hide from cruel slave owners. More than once I thought I saw their shiny black bodies run from tree to tree through the swamp. It was so dark. It was even too dark to look at our compasses that probed into the frenzied quagmire that surrounding us and would have at least told us where North was if we could see it. But we could not.
"Mallard ducks were worth it, " I kept telling myself, although truly, I never liked eating wild ducks. The meat was too rich and dark and perilous for this southern boy who liked anodyne, fried chicken, and domestication, cornbread.
It was so dark in the Devil's Den. And on those mornings, most mornings now, when I awaken at 4:30 AM, alone in the silence, I remember the Den. The only light we enjoyed was the North Star on the tail of the Big Dipper full of radiant repartee and iridescent chatter.
Every morning I struggle. I struggle with what could have been. Other friends, in other places, even family members, are awakening in this darkness but their worlds are full of certainty, of jobs, and of pensions. They are tired, as I am, but not conflicted. They are at peace with their repertoire. They may not know the drama in which they play a role, but they know their role, and they play it well.
In these early, disquieting mornings, I know my role, but do not know the play in which I perform. I do not even know my next line. I feel lost.
John Barth, in his novel The Floating Opera compares life to a floating opera. This opera is being performed on a floating barge that is slowly moving up and down the Hudson River. Spectators are standing on the bank looking at the drama unfold. As long as the floating opera is in their sight, they grasp the meaning of the play. They may even join in a chorus or two. Life is unambiguous and consequential and full of beans. But then the barge moves on and the spectators are left in quiet uncertainty.
The barge returns again and leaves again and so forth.
To me, the barge is absent at 4:30 A.M. I am not sure what the story is. I don't know what my place is in the drama unfolding. By 10AM I am regaining some élan. By 2PM I am completely confident; the play is right before me. By 10 PM I am asleep . . . but again, at 4:30 A. M., the struggle begins again.
4:30 AM lying next to my gray haired campaigner, is my Peniel, my time of struggle, but it is also my Mt. Carmel. Each day I go up to Mt. Carmel to challenge the gods of this age. With my pen, with my prayers, I dare the cacophonic sirens of this discordant land to challenge my God to a duel.
Mt. Moriah each morning and I meet again a God who loves me so, so much, but who has no hyperbole in His portfolio, who literally demands everything from me. Whether I see all the drama unfolding before me on the river or not, whether I fully understand what the outcome will be, God demands, in great love, in only the way a Savior can, that I give Him my all, my everything again. Especially at 4:30 AM.
It is 6:30 AM and my sugar plum, whose transcendent beautiful will soon belong to Clinique and Origin, but whose raw courage and fortitude is mine, and mine alone, for this new day, for this moment, for this new Genesis.
I see the wrinkles, the circles under her eyes, but I will not insult the ambiance, the chronicle, the time that I know put them there by pretending they are not. No there is no histrionics in my Karen and I will have none either. Not right now. Not for this moment when we kiss and bask in the dawn again. She is more beautiful than Cleopatra, more exotic Bathsheba, for surely Mark Antony and Solomon would feel cheated if they could have known my exquisite life companion.
And I limp again, down the stairs, to my country kitchen for my oatmeal . . . and then I battle the gods of the ages again . . .
WHAT ARE WE THEN TO DO?
To a large degree, we are to do nothing. We are to wait. The Hebrew understanding of "waiting" is "to stand firmly and actively watch God's will be revealed." The Greeks and the Romans and some of us today tried to build society upon their gods. But these gods will not be big enough because they are finite, limited. Even mighty Rome, with all its power, did not have satisfactory answers to the questions plaguing humankind. So they fell. They are finished. They were Hazael.
But we serve a God who never slumbers or sleeps. A God who in a blink of an eye created the universe. A God who has no beginning nor an ending. A God, also, who loves us enough to send His only begotten Son to die for us . . . that is one response to Hazael–embrace the Son of God as our Savior–do not rewrite the rules of the game–play another game!
Home schoolers, are we willing to stand firm in our faith no matter what the cost? If we are, then Hazael shall not have our souls . . . even if someday he takes our lives.
I know that it seems that we are looking into the face of Hazael . . . and we are. But let us stand–as countless saints before us stood–let us stand firm and choose life this year. . . eternal life! If the present home school movement does nothing else let us call our nation to be hopeful in the face of Hazael because . . . our Redeemer liveth!

I once heard a home school convention speaker ask, "Do you want Harvard or do you want Heaven?" The implication is that if we chose Harvard we were choosing Hell. Well, I think that we can have Harvard and Heaven!
Who could imagine that a movement that began so quietly in the 19970s and 1980s would someday generate so vital and an anointed generation that is emerging at the beginning of this century? It is a time to celebrate and to reflect.
In 2013 it is an uncontested fact: home schoolers are dominating college admission test scores, and, it is growing more evident each day that they are highly qualified and successful college students when they are admitted. When I was growing up, eons ago, elite prep schools dominated the college admission classes. Today, the new "elite" are home schooled graduates. They are the most highly recruited, most highly valued freshmen at secular and Christian schools alike. I am privy to a Harvard University online chat room, and recently I saw this statement posted. "If Harvard wants to be the best, the most relevant institution in the years ahead, it must recruit and admit home schoolers." Indeed.
And Harvard has reason to worry. I spoke to a Yale recruiter and she told me that, while Yale wants home schoolers, home schoolers do not seem to want Yale. They are not applying to Yale. Likewise, I have two distance learning students who were heavily recruited by Ivy League schools. They both chose local alternatives (a state school and a Christian school).
It is not the purpose of this article to lobby for any particular post-graduate choice, although I found my wife at Harvard—and Intervarsity Fellowship on Thursday night in Cambridge is larger than the entire student body at Gordon College (a Christian College) in South Hamilton. Mostly for fiscal reasons, the majority of Christian home schoolers go to secular colleges. That is an uncontested fact. We home schoolers, for whatever reason, usually attend secular colleges.
Therefore, this article is about the secular colleges we will attend—how they got to be the way they are and how we can prosper in such a place.
First, to most evangelical Christians, the modern, secular, university is a hostile place. It was not always so.
In fact, the American university was built solidly on evangelical principles. There were no so-called "official" "secular" colleges until the rise of the land grant colleges in the middle of the 19th century. An early brochure, published in 1643, stated that the purpose of Harvard University (the oldest American university) was "To advance Learning and perpetuate it to Posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate Ministry to the Churches." Harvard's motto for 300 years was "Christo et Ecclesiae." In fact, most of the U. S. universities founded before the 20th century had a strongly religious, usually Protestant Evangelical Christian character. Yale, Princeton, Chicago, Stanford, Duke, William and Mary, Boston University, Michigan, and the University of California had a decidedly evangelical Christian character in the early years of their existence but abandoned it by the 20th century. By 1920s, the American university had stepped completely back from its evangelical roots. This was true of almost every American university founded in the first 200 years of our existence.
Readers would be surprised to see how evangelical, Christ-centered early universities were. They had pastors as presidents. These men closely tied the identity of their university to a strong Christian world view. The core curriculum included Bible courses and Christian theology. These were mandatory Bible courses. All American universities insisted on a doctrinally sound content for sensitive courses and often required that faculty be born again Christians! Imagine this: the famous historian Frederick Jackson Turner was refused a professorship at Princeton because he was a Unitarian! Chapel attendance was required at Harvard and Yale! It is more than coincidental that the architects who designed early universities designed them to look like churches. At the University of Pittsburgh, for instance, the most prominent building on campus is the Cathedral of Learning.
Universities were founded because early Americans earnestly believed that American society should be governed by evangelical Christian people. They believed that American industry should be run by evangelical Christian entrepreneurs. They believed that American culture should be created by evangelical artists. The early American university was committed to making sure that that happened.
The marriage of spiritual maturity and elite education is a potent combination and to a large degree assured the success of the American experiment. Its divorce may presage its demise.
Today the university is not even loosely a Christian institution. Religion in the university and in public life is relegated to the private experience. So-called "academic freedom" has become a sacrosanct concept and precludes anything that smacks of religiosity–especially orthodoxy that evangelicals so enthusiastically embrace. Religion is represented on campus in sanitary denominational ministries and token chapel ministries (that were hardly more than counseling centers).
To a large degree, then, the American university abandoned the evangelical and the evangelical abandoned the American university.
This created a crisis in the American university and in the evangelical community. The secular American university compromised its "soul" for naturalistic; evangelicalism compromised its epistemological hegemony for ontological supremacy. In other words, the secular university became a sort of an academic hothouse for pompous rationalism. Evangelicals abandoned the secular university, and, until recently, more or less compromised their academic base. Evangelicals even founded their own universities but they were poor academic substitutes for secular offerings. Even as I write article, this is changing.

There isn't anything inherently wrong with feeling carried away, or making a decision based on a hunch. That's where excitement and instinct kick in, and who doesn't want—need, actually—either of those?
That said, with impulsivity playing such a significant role in mania and hypomania, it's easy to underestimate the risks that can accompany those feelings and decisions.
We can thank shifts in cerebral blood flow and brain activity for that, specifically those that occur during dramatic mood and behavior changes, according to Michael E. Thase, MD, a psychiatry professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
In mania, these shifts can compromise an "inhibitory, thoughtful override that could otherwise reign in spontaneous—and possibly dangerous, even life-threatening—decisions," says Thase.
One study out of the Cincinnati University College of Medicine, published in 2010, found an encouraging result, however. Those with bipolar do not consistently show deficits on behavioral tasks that require planning and forethought.
So to help get a grip on impulsivity, a first step would be to slow down before acting.
Stuart Moore, a licensed clinical social worker in Northern Virginia, guides clients in how to pause long enough to weigh the pros and cons of a particular impulse.
Being able to take control of impulsive urges is essential. When you don't have that control, impulsivity can absolutely control you. And it's so much more rewarding to be the one calling the shots.
bp Magazine columnist Stephen Propst agrees, and suggests that having precautions in place is a good first step for managing impulsivity.
Feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety? There are some simple strategies you can work into your daily life to find relief.
Exercise helps to mitigate my mood symptoms—particularly anxiety. Getting my body moving relieves stress and makes me less anxious. In addition, exercise helps me sleep better, which in turn eases my stress levels.
Dogs can provide valuable support to people living with bipolar, from easing isolating feelings to providing a healthy outlet for hypomanic energy.
I have a little guy whom I refer to as my "bipolar therapy dog." His name is Ryder and he is a 7-year-old Papillon with long hair and ears that point up staying true to his name which means "butterfly" in French. I adopted Ryder when he was 4 years old and he has since become a very valuable part of my life.
How can a dog become part of a mental health wellness plan?
