For example: If you are struggling in your relationship say out loud 'why' you feel the way you do.
Did you hear your fears from the past come out? Do you realize most of what you said is no different from cat poo in the box? It happens, it will stay there until it is cleaned up, and it smells to high heaven, until it is bagged and disposed of.
Most arguments involve words like: should, could, would, wish, why did you, what if (which is asked due to their or your paradigm= past), how could you and the past continues to take over the future.
That's just like standing in a cat litter box taking a poop, your partner doing the same, although it is covered, you keep digging it up, and smelling the disgusting aroma.
When in reality once the poop is there the choices are inevitable 1. Enjoy the aroma. Or 2. Clean it out by bagging it, tying the top to seal it and disposing of the evidence.
Does this mean it never happened? Come on we all know sh*t happens. But do we want to continue to dig it back up? Is a better question.
Are you and your partner living in the cat litter together? Worse yet, have you decided to be cheap and using the kind that never gets rid of the smell?
Recognize what you are doing, decide what or how the significant other could fix your emotions (not that they can, this is only to recognize why you are feeling so irritable with them), and make a good decision for you both.
It is not about the solution, it is about getting out of the disgusting cat liter box!
My greatest hope is you get a little laugh and a lot of relief. You are awesome and worthy of feeling good!
Living in the past can always be compared to poo. The past happens, but do you want to continue to live then? When you can decide today to feel and smell better?
Livelove.teena@gmail.com a message for you if you need it.

ONE UNIVERSAL GOAL! We all have it, whether you know it or not…so what is it?
I am so excited to share with you! Please, as you read allow yourself to feel the emotions. See the connection between why you do what you do and the universal goal of life. Allow the message to empower you to create the life you have always wanted. Without further delay…THE ONE & ONLY GOAL all living species share!
Have you ever pondered the 'meaning' of life? Have you ever felt like there was no meaning? Maybe you have battled with depression, anger, and frustration, on a regular basis. I have spent the past fifteen months asking this simple question…What is the meaning of life? Each client has assisted me in answering this question. They have allowed me to know their fears, emotions, and most intimate desires!
For example: The young mother who is living in poverty, attempting to raise her children to be upstanding citizens has one goal…to be more abundant to create a BETTER life for herself and family. Life will be better!
The unknown musician plays music to feel better or to share with the world a better feeling. Life will be better!
Nurses passionately take care of those in need to feel physically better. Life will be better!
Religions make a promise if you will follow these guidelines, you will have a better life or here after. Life will be better!
People who perform catastrophic events think that performing this act will make them FEEL BETTER.
A wild animal who has been caught will most likely attack, why? To feel better or in this sense he or she is fighting back to ensure safety, which is better than being harmed.
Yes, even the negative events or emotions are a part of the Universal Goal. Because those feelings of resistance are indicators that there is something better.
A person who commits suicide, thinks they will feel better, because they don't see any way for improvement here on earth.
A tree, what about a tree do they share this goal? Yes, think about the beautiful trees who stretch their roots as far as they can reach, to ensure they can always receive the proper nutrients. To Grow Better!
A military woman or man, does not 'do' what he/she does because they LOVE the many hurdles they must jump, but rather to be a part of something better. To protect their country and assist in creating a BETTER LIFE. (Thank you for your service).
What about yourself? Think back about your inner desires, visions, and goals. Why do you have them? Why do you continue to persevere? To feel better. To create a better life for your family. To create a better life for yourself.
We are now offering the first session/message for free and a flat fee for messages on a 'need' be basis. Rather than paying for a coach when you feel so good a little extra help, isn't necessary.

The concept of self-compassion emerged primarily from Buddhist psychology and grew out of the more well-known work on mindfulness. Self-compassion entails having kindness and understanding toward ourselves and has numerous mental health benefits, emerging as a valuable construct in the positive psychology realm.
What is self-compassion the way it's studied by psychologists? To understand self-compassion, one must first understand compassion. Compassion is the desire to ease suffering in another person or another living thing. Compassion does not keep its distance from suffering (like pity does), but approaches it, does not fear or resist it, and desires to alleviate it. The mandate we have to "bear one another's burdens, that they may be light" (Mosiah 18:8) is a commandment to have compassion in this way. However, sometimes we are not quick to include ourselves in the reach of our compassion. With self-compassion, we give ourselves the loving kindness we might more instinctively give to a good friend. Self-compassion means to bear witness to our own pain and to respond with kindness and nonjudgmental understanding.
Researchers argue that self-compassion is actually one of the most natural things in the world because wanting to be free from suffering is something we strive for consistently. However, we also have the tendency to resist painful experiences and emotions as the fight-or-flight response is applied to emotional dangers. A commonly cited equation among self-compassion enthusiasts is that pain x resistance = suffering. Self-compassion is about turning toward our emotional pain and being open to it.
Self-kindness, the opposite of which is self-criticism, includes not judging or blaming ourselves when things go wrong, as well as being understanding toward personal shortcomings.
Common humanity, the opposite of which is isolation, entails viewing our difficulties as part of the human experience and our suffering as something all people experience.
Mindfulness, the opposite of which is over-identification with our thoughts, means holding emotions in perspective, or taking a balanced view of a situation.
There are also a few things that self-compassion is not.
First, self-compassion is not selfish. It doesn't close us off from others but brings us closer to the rest of humanity. It is also not selfish because demeaning our suffering by comparing it to others' can mean avoiding our own pain, which decreases our ability to care for others.
Second, self-compassion is not self-esteem. Self-esteem is contingent; it is based on self-evaluation and has comparison at its root, while self-compassion is not dependent on any quality in us or in others.
Lastly, self-compassion is not passiveness. The number one reason that people are self-critical is that they think they need it to motivate themselves, that too much self-kindness will lead to laziness. However, research has shown that the opposite is true.
Research on the topic of self-compassion has increased dramatically in recent years. Some topics currently being researched in relation to self-compassion are body image and eating disorders, caregiving and burnout, and health and athletics. Self-compassion has also been found to be successful in alleviating depression, with negative cognitive style, including rumination, shame, avoidance, self-criticism, and irrational beliefs, being the mediator in this relationship. Worry has also been found to at least partially mediate the relationship between self-compassion and anxiety.
Dr. Jared Warren, associate professor in the department of psychology at BYU, began teaching a class on positive psychology in the fall of 2014 and has recently put together a research team to study self-compassion and other positive psychology topics including growth habits, interconnectedness, flow experiences, and mindfulness. He and his research team are excited to include BYU in the circle of researchers exploring cutting-edge positive psychology topics.
Notice the great compassion that others have for you, including parents, mentors, or deity figures. Learn how to treat yourself from the way that person treats you. Or, notice the compassion you easily have for a close friend or loved one. Harness and observe that feeling, and then replace that close friend with yourself.
Practice informal mindfulness in everyday life. Be a nonjudgmental observer of the present moment. Try to refrain from making quick value judgements. Periodically take a few conscious, deep breaths.
Learn to label your emotions – this helps them be seen as just emotions; it gives enough distance to not be drowning in the feeling.
Repeat self-compassion phrases to yourself throughout the day such as "May I be happy," "May I live with ease," "May I love myself just as I am," or "May I be free from suffering." Feel the warmth of loving intention.
If you have interests in formally developing self-compassion, you may want to look in to loving-kindness (or metta) meditation. Guided loving-kindness meditations can be found online, including at www.self-compassion.org.

From the Archives — March 2016
03/22/2016 07/20/2018 cperson01
BY SEBASTIÁN ENCINA, Museum Collections Manager, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
The exhibition Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero has now been open at the Kelsey Museum for just over a month, and it continues to bring in large crowds of people who marvel at the luxuriousness of a Roman settlement at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius. That devastation wreaked havoc on a large swath of land across the Italian countryside. Entire towns were demolished, enveloped by the falling ash and pumice. Thousands of lives perished, buildings destroyed, the geography permanently altered. The aftermath left carnage, but it also provided an opportunity to freeze the city of Pompeii and the town of Herculaneum and surrounding areas in a manner that shows the modern viewer what life was like at that particular moment when the world ended for so many.
The site of Pompeii has fascinated the public and scholars for centuries. It is an opportunity to view the ancient world almost directly, without the inevitable change that affects every other society. There is still much to learn about the site, and about ancient Roman life.
In the 1890s, a young Latin scholar by the name of Francis W. Kelsey visited Pompeii, as it was an area of interest for him. There, he met renowned Pompeii authority August Mau, a German scholar who was directed by his doctors to move to a warmer climate for his health. Mau obliged, and moved to Italy. There, Mau and Kelsey formed a strong bond, such that Kelsey was invited to pose with Mau's "Giro," his group of students (From the Archives — September 2015).
Through this strong relationship, Kelsey was given the opportunity to translate Mau's book on Pompeii into English. Kelsey proved to be quite an adept scholar, publishing the translation before Mau could publish the original. Kelsey even managed to insert additional materials into his edition, information not found in the Mau publication.
The Kelsey archives hold evidence of this work, and that is the topic for this month's "From the Archives." The holdings of an archives is often thought to be the papers of an institution, letters, manuscripts, photographs. In the world of archives, libraries, and museums (ALM, or LAM), there is increasing overlap in the materials held by each. All three could hold materials normally found in the others. In the Kelsey, we sometimes come across atypical archival items, such as this box full of copper plates. Francis Kelsey's handwriting is found throughout the box and on notes found within. We know it was he who stored these plates that were used for printing the Pompeii book in the box originally. These plates, made of copper and wood, while some are rubber and wood, contain the images of Pompeii used during the printing process. A faint image of a scene from the site can be seen in the example.
Image of Pompeii copper plates and box.
While the original intent of Kelsey was to safeguard the plates, his act has a secondary function. The box itself, perhaps seen as nothing of note at the time, gives us a view of life at the turn of the century (from 19th to 20th). Chiozza & Turchi was a soap making company in Italy (Pontelagoscuro). From this box, we note the decorations used in commercial products. What were denizens of the early 1900s seeing when they went to market? What companies existed then, and what products were they selling?
A quick search for the company returns discussion of other Chiozza e Turchi advertisements, and how people are collecting them. There may be no value to the box itself, but it is interesting to hold an article viewed as commonplace then but so full of intrigue now. And this is how many museum workers and archaeologists feel when working with their collections. A chance to see a glimpse of life thousands of years ago, or even 100 years ago, is exciting. But these objects that were modern in 1900 depicting a time nearly 2000 years earlier, are now themselves historical artifacts. In time, the objects I use every day will meet this same fate, and a future archivist or archaeologist will marvel at something I overlooked every day. And the process will continue.

Rathbone Market, Newham, London
Client : English Cities Fund
Value : £47.9m (€55m)
Expertise>Public buildings>>Rathbone Market, Newham, London>>>
The major regeneration of Rathbone Market, in the London Borough of Newham, kicked off with the first phase of the scheme awarded to Sisk followed by consecutive phases, as detailed:
This urban regeneration project located in Canning Town provided a total of 271 mixed tenure homes across four residential buildings, one 21 storey, one 12 storey, one 8 storey and one 6 storey, together with ground floor retail units, single level basement car park and a landscaped garden. The works were undertaken in a logistically challenging environment adjacent to the busy A13.
Designed to achieve Code 4 of the CfSH, the residential apartments are mixed tenure with over 25% allocated for affordable use. This meant that we had to manage the differing needs of both the private and affordable apartments. In this case we worked with Notting Hill Housing Trust who were the social housing provider.
The retail space was designed to achieve a BREEAM rating of Very Good.
Following the successful completion of the Phase One works, Sisk were able to work collaboratively with the ECf and their professional team to negotiate the Phase Two works.
The works further aid the regeneration of Canning Town with the provision of 165 new homes; a new market square with stalls and purpose built storage space for traders; new shops and cafes around the southern and eastern edges of the market square ; improved access to the A13 underpass ; new landscaped open spaces and a new library and community hub.
As part of phase two Thomas North Terrace has been demolished. The remaining tenants were relocated to new homes within phase one of Rathbone Market.
Phase Three

Georg Seidels Texte reagieren mit befreiend bösem Witz auf den Irrwitz der Verhältnisse in der ehemaligen DDR, unter denen sie entstanden, bleiben aber immer souverän gegenüber dieser unmöglichen Wirklichkeit, die die Menschen klein und mutlos gemacht hat.
Percival Christopher Wren is better often called a novelist, publishing twenty-eight novels from 1912 to 1941, the main well-known of which being Beau Geste (1924). Wren additionally released seven brief tale collections: Stepsons of France (1917), The younger Stagers (1917), reliable Gestes (1929), mistaken Blades (1933), Port o' lacking males (1934), tough taking pictures (1938), and Odd—But having said that (1941).
What makes a guy? during this choice of brief tales, Pierz Newton John strikes throughout the complete diversity of masculine event, with an openness now not afraid to teach males at their so much lonely, sexual, loving, occasionally susceptible, occasionally abusive. First contact of a woman's physique in a chilly and international land, gentle moments among father and son, the deep love of a father separated from his baby, treachery and opportunism combined up with loneliness and net courting, the informal violence of younger boys exploring the realm, rites of passage from younger rebels to cozy suburbanites, and what males consider and consider girls.


My husband and have been growing a little garden for the past several years. Our first cucumber plant that grew cute little cucumbers made us so proud. We called it our baby and posted it on social media like proud parents, then we ate it. What started as a home school project for my kids, that they now will have nothing to do with has turned into a way of life for my husband and I. I look forward to spring every year and plan out what I'm going to plant each year. I enjoy going to local plant sales at local nurseries as soon as the plants come in. I always take a friend or two out to Growers in Loganville which is now a tradition and based on the crowd, it is a tradition for a lot of Gwinnett County. We also have to make a trip or two to Creative Enterprises. I love supporting local growers and non-profits like Creative Enterprises. If you haven't been there it is a wonderful place. This organization is dedicated to assisting adults with disabilities and others with barriers to employment in maximizing their potential. They have multiple programs and services to help these adults develop skills to be as independent as possible. If you haven't been there to get your plants you really should visit. It really is a very special place.
in the south than a home grown tomato, to grow a garden without them would be, well a waste of effort. A large number of people I know who garden consider it a labor of love. There is something so therapeutic about digging in the dirt, making our own compost from kitchen scraps and then watching the blooms turn into the literal fruits of our labor. We love making homemade salsa, macaroni salads, adding our own fresh homegrown herbs to our Italian dishes. Summer eating is so much fun, however if you play your cards right and do a bit of prep and planning you can store up some of that summer yumminess for winter soups, and dried herbs for teas. Have you ever tried a nice lemon balm and peppermint tea, so soothing for a winter cold, or enjoyed savory seasonings like rosemary, sage and thyme for crock pot cooking. Nothing is more delicious than taking canned tomatoes, dried basil and oregano and making your own homemade spaghetti sauce. I don't consider myself a chef by any means, yet cooking something you have grown somehow makes the experience so much more enjoyable.
Gwinnett County just celebrated its sixth Earth Day Recycling Event on April 9th, 2016 at Cool Ray Field Gwinnett Braves Stadium. Cars lined up in 4 rows from Highway 20 to the parking lot, where vans and trucks lined up to take old tires, paper in need of shredding, old cans of usable paint, old sneakers, electronics, as well as empty printer ink and toner cartridges. Gwinnett Recycles twice a year; in November for America's Recycle Day and in April for Earth Day. This year the lines were longer than ever to donate their recyclables. Over the last few years, Gwinnett County Waste Management has recycled over a hundred tons of electronics, thousands of pounds of textiles, thousands of shoes and printer cartridges. The team at Gwinnett County Waste Management headed by Schelly Marlatt and her team do an amazing job coordinating the different vendors that collect recycling.
There are a large groups of students and adults who volunteer each year for this community event. High School students interested in community service events and a group of Fire Explorers help to direct traffic and keep everything running smoothly. The fire explorers are all students from age 14-18 who spend every Thursday evening learning drills and learning what it is like to be a fire fighter here in Gwinnett.
I spent some extra time meeting the vendor's this year and learning what they do with the recycling. The old sneakers are separated into two groups one group are those that are just slightly used and can be given to those who need shoes. The shoes that are no longer wearable are ground up and turned into playground material. The paint donated must be at least 25% full and usable. They take the paint to other countries, This batch of paint will go to Liberia to paint the university there,which hasn't been repainted since their civil war in 1987. The school will require over 4,000 gallons to repair the still bloodstained walls of the university. They have also painted projects in Mexico, Haiti, Central America and many other areas in need of recovery. The pr inter cartridges will be re-manufactured and resold, reducing the need for new products to be created to meet demand. Recycling ink and toner cartridges reduces the waste in our landfill. Some pieces of cartridges take over a thousand years to decompose and the amount of those thrown away every year if put end to end would circle the earth 3 times.
Secure paper shredding is a great way to create additional space in your home and feel secure that the documents you are disposing of don't end up in the hands of identity thieves. Over the years, televisions and computer monitors have continued to grow it has only been very recently, that flat screen technology has allowed the television to become part of the living room not the entire focus of the room. Large bulky televisions and old monitors that are recycled have a significant impact on the reduction of waste that doesn't decompose or poison the ground in our local landfills.
Gwinnett County thank you for your contribution to our community by offering this event twice a year. Please check their website or join the newsletter for the next recycle event to be held in November.

What's Happened to the Service in Customer Service?
Costco and you see 6 people behind the customer service counter and no one will look at you? You can be big or small, yet you are still a ghost. We have all experienced it, you look at each one of them really do the puppy dog eyes pleading, just look my way for a second, and not one single person looks your way. It is as if they think that if they don't make eye contact, you aren't really there. What kind of training in customer service skills class do they give these people. Ok, today we'll learn how to avoid eye contact. Sometimes I just want to laugh and wave my arms and say "Um ,Hello people I'm right here. What they don't realize is the longer we wait without being seen the more frustrated we become. Waiting like cattle, waiting for the person behind the counter to look our way and say, "Can I help you?" Then pray they help us or dash all our hopes for resolution. It's not only the person behind a counter I'm referring to, how about phone customer service rep? When I need help on the phone; my cell phone provider, my bank, or the dreaded call to (insert scary music here,) the local cable provider. My least favorite customer service nightmare is the rep who knows they can't solve my problem and they put me on hold. I hear the not so beautiful hold music and then silence. Really, I just got disconnected. You know at least 50% of the time that was no accident. They just didn't want or didn't have the skills to help you solve your problem so they hang up on you pretending that it was an accident. I have literally had to call in and relive the same scenario three to four times. The golden ticket is that sometimes we walk into an establishment and there it is a smile that lights up the room. Hello, Gorgeous! I'm not saying the person is magazine model perfection. I am talking about the person who gets it. They are hired to do a job, take care of customers' needs. They get that customer service is all about, yep, you guessed it, service. This individual comes in to work, leaves all their own problems at the door and offers you service that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. I just want to hug this bright eyed or perky sounding human being who actually has me laughing with them make me feel like they truly care about making my problem go away and my day just got a little bit brighter. I have worked in customer service in one form or another all my adult life. I believe it's a choice, not just a paycheck. If you don't like what you do find something else to do but let's all agree, not to take it out on the people who pay good money to keep you employed, our customers.


Most Christians know that Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper just hours before his death—but they struggle to understand the relevance of this foundational Christian practice to their daily lives. This book seeks to help Christians recover the importance of the Lord's Supper for their daily lives by exploring its 3 purposes: an expression of communion with Jesus Christ, a demonstration of unity with other Christians, and a demarcation between the church and the world. Exploring how God uses similar "covenant signs" throughout the Bible to point to and confirm his promises, this new book in the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series helps readers more fully experience the blessings of the gospel available to them as they partake of the Lord's Supper.

Analysis: What is the context of Pope Francis' words on the Lord's Prayer?
Vatican City, Dec 11, 2017 / 07:00 pm (CNA).- Pope Francis' remarks on the "wrong" translation of the Lord's Prayer in a TV show hosted by the Italian Bishops' Conference's TV2000 network are part of a wider debate that has taken place in Italy for over two decades.
The Pope said that the words "non ci indurre in tentazione" – "Do not lead us into temptation," in the English version – are not correct, because, he said, God does not actively lead us into temptation.
The Pope also praised a new translation operated by the French Bishops' conference.
The new French translation is "et ne nous laisse pas entrer in tentationI" – "let us not enter into temptation." It replaces the previous translation "ne nous soumets pas à la tentation" – "do not submit us to temptation."
It is worth noting that St. Thomas Aquinas considered the question of whether God leads men "into temptation" in a commentary he wrote on the Our Father. The saint, and Doctor of the Church, concluded that "God is said to lead a person into evil by permitting him to the extent that, because of his many sins, He withdraws His grace from man, and as a result of this withdrawal man does fall into sin."
The Pope's intent seems to be to emphasize that God's active will does not "tempt" men, that, instead, the permissive will of God allows people to be tempted because of their sinfulness. This is the emphasis of the French translation. The theological context is complex, but certainly the Pope has not intended to deny the theological and scriptural sense in which God allows, or permits, temptation.
However, the Pope was talking in Italian, on an Italian television show, and his remarks dealt with the Italian translation of the Lord's Prayer. It would be a mistake to assign his remarks significance beyond the Italian context, in which they would be well understood.
And, in fact, a new Italian translation of that very sentence of the Lord's Prayer has already been done.
The new translation of the Bible issued by the Italian Bishops Conference says "do not abandon us to the temptation," and the rephrasing of that sentence was the fruit of a long process, aimed at being more faithful to the Latin text of the prayer – the so-called editio typica – and at the same time more fit to the current language.
Cardinal Giuseppe Betori, Archbishop of Florence and a well known scripture scholar, who has also served as undersecretary and secretary of the Italian Bishops Conference, recounted to the Italian newspaper Avvenire how the process for a new translation took place.
"The work," he said, "dates back to 1988, when the decision was made to review the old 1971 translation of the Bible."
At that time, a working group of 15 scripture scholars was established, coordinated by a bishop – the first was Bishop Giuseppe Costanzo, then Bishop Wilhelm Egger, and finally Bishop Franco Festorazzi.
This working group collected the opinions of 60 more experts on scripture. The group was overseen by the Bishops Commission for the Liturgy, and the Italian Bishops' Conference Permanent Council, a group composed of the presidents of regional bishops conference, and the presidents of the commissions established within the Bishops' Conference itself.
Cardinal Betori said that "within the Permanent Council, a restricted committee for the translation was established," was composed of Cardinals Giacomo Biffi and Carlo Maria Martini, and of Archbishops Benigno Luigi Papa, Giovanni Saldarini and Andrea Magrassi.
"This committee," Cardinal Betori said, "also received and considered the proposal for the new translation of the Our Father."
The formula "do not abandon us to temptation" was adopted because it met the approval of both Cardinal Martini and Biffi, who "were not, as is known, from the same schools of thought," Cardinal Betori explained.
Cardinal Betori said that the formula was chosen because it had a wider meaning, as "do not abandon us to temptation" can both mean "do not abandon us, so that we will not fall into temptation" and "do not abandon… when we are already facing temptation," Cardinal Betori explained.
The new translation was approved by the Italian bishops in 2000. In 2001, the Congregation for Divine Worship issued Liturgiam Authenticam, a set of new provisions for the translation of liturgical texts.
After Liturgiam Authenticam, the whole work of translation was reviewed by a group of experts, led by bishops Adriano Caprioli, Luciano Monari and Mansueto Bianchi. Cardinal Betori was part of this group.
The revision, which suggested many amendments, was forwarded to the bishops. However, these amendments "did not change the proposal for the new translation of the Lord's Prayer."
The new translation of the Bible was finally approved during the 2002 General Assembly of the Italian Bishops Conference, with 202 out of 203 bishops voting favorably. The text of the Lord's Prayer was approved separately, to be certain there were no doubts from bishops. The Holy See gave its recognitio in 2007, and the Italian Bishops Conference Bible was finally published in 2008 with the new translation.
The new translation of the Lord's Prayer was 'transferred' to the Missal. However, the new translation, in order to be part of liturgical use, must be approved by the Holy See, and the text has not been approved, because there are other issues of concern in the Missal's translation.
This is the reason why, the formula for the Lord's Prayer in Italian is still "non ci indurre in tentazione."
Ultimately, speaking about the translation of the Lord's Prayer, Pope Francis did not say anything really new. Italian theologians and scripture scholars have already provided their solution for the translation.
However, there is another story to be told. There is a question regarding what will happen to translations that once needed a "recognitio" from the Holy See, which is now simply called to "confirm" the new translation.
Will this lead to a general change in translations in languages other than Italian?

Education is the main cause of gender gap, say engineering professionals

The gender gap in the engineering sector is wider than ever, despite many other industries witnessing a significant increase in female participation.
Engineering is the subject with the biggest gap in male to female ratios and these figures aren't improving. Just 9 percent* of the engineering workforce is female. Furthermore, only 6 percent* of registered engineers and technicians (i.e. CEng, IEng, EngTech) are women.
Newly released survey data has indicated that the lack of women opting for STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is the man reason for deterring women from entering the traditionally male dominated industry.
Energy Jobline, a job board for energy and engineering jobs, carried out the survey aiming to discover the gender issues that still affect this job sector.
Aside from the education subject choice at school and university, the other issue that appears to deter women is the HSE (Health & Safety in the Workplace) risks, the high percentage of men in the industry, and long hours leading to a perceived struggle to maintain a family life.
The findings of the survey and other reports appears to show that women still favour subjects and careers that are 'traditionally feminine' in nature. The Higher Education Statistics Agency even made a suggestion that women are actually beginning to take a step back from their predecessors in terms of closing the gender gap.
Young people in the UK are expected to choose their career path at an early age, perhaps due to an aspirational mindset at schools, not letting girls' formulate other professions they might be able to do later in life.

One survey respondent said "I didn't know one girl that took engineering as a subject at my school, not one. I thought it was just for boys. Did I receive any information that it's not? No."
"I can't help but assume that if the women in engineering stats are remaining virtually static, that there can't possibly be too much more schools are doing to entice young women into engineering. There is no reason why men should be dominative of this industry because women are not incapable. The engineering industry is missing out on potential, just like the nursing industry is with the lack of male nurses."
National Women in Engineering Day is taking place today, 23rd June, and will be dedicated to highlighting the successes of female engineers, but also raising awareness to the potential closing the gender gap can offer.

Why I joined aKDPhi: I was first interested in aKDPhi during high school when someone I knew joined and posted about it on social media. It wasn't until I arrived on campus that I discovered how successful and admirable these sisters really are and how much I wanted them as my role models. Their welcoming greetings and genuine personalities solidified my decision to interview.


Roadmonkey, a California based philanthropic adventure travel company, and Fabretto Foundation have joined forces to build a sustainable income-generating garden in San Isidero, Nicaragua!
Following 4 days of a surfing, swimming, hiking, and horseback riding adventure, we'll complete a sustainable volunteer project in 3 days, working in cooperation with the excellent Fabretto Foundation..
We'll travel to San Isidro, a small village outside of Managua that lacks running water. We'll be working to rebuild and renovate income-producing chicken coops on the local farm, which also provides fresh fruits and vegetables in Fabretto's school lunch program providing critical nutrition and health to the children.
It will be three days of intense, hands-on work to create this sustainable, community garden project. The work will be done with involvement of the local community.
The Roadmonkey project will be in partnership with The Fabretto Foundation.
- Fabretto Foundation is a non-governmental organization (NGO) whose mission is "to enable impoverished Nicaraguan children and their families in underserved communities to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential through programs promoting education, nutrition, health, and community development.
Since Catholic Salesian missionary Father Rafael Maria Fabretto first began working with Nicaraguan orphans in 1948, the organization has evolved to a school program run in concert with the public school system, supplementing the children's educational and nutritional needs by offering tutoring and meal programs to approximately 10,000 students from 50 underserved rural and urban communities in Managua and North Central Nicaragua. More recently Fabretto has continued its evolution by developing a robust secondary education tutoring program that has also incorporated an experiential learning program developed in Columbia called SAT, Sistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial (Tutorial Learning System) .
Fabretto is committed not only to education but also to offering its students the hope and opportunity to improve their economic wellbeing.

June 21 | 10:30 p.m. Hotel Van Zandt June's showcase features our Artist of the Month, Daisy O'Connor. An engaging, humorous, and candid performer, Daisy prefers to perform solo - folksinger style - and tours as much as she can, always taking the road less travelled. Daisy's sound mixes indie folk, rock, psych, americana, country and pop into a soothing groove that's all her own: quirky, captivating, cleverly queer, and crooning.
The marketplace provides a forum for Austin's creative community to connect and learn about various aspects of the music business through curated talks, educational workshops and music brand activations. This year, we'll focus on "Marketing Yourself as a Musician in the DIY Digital Age," and On The Record will feature a performance from Night Cap, sponsored by Sofar Sounds Austin. AMF is curating and producing the educational programming portion held in the Parlour Room from 1- 2:30 p.m. It will feature talks with two music industry trailblazers: award-winning live entertainment/ digital marketer Betty Tran, and musician/composer/director/ producer Mobley, fresh off his soldout record deal signing party. The talk will be hosted by musician and podcaster Johnny Goudie.

Free Summer Festival Promotes Youth and Family Healing The inaugural Healing in the Village Family Festival on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Huston-Tillotson University gives Austin families a place to meet with healing professionals in a fun setting with live music, food and activities for kids – all at no cost. The Excellence & Advancement Foundation organized the Healing in the Village Family Festival to connect Greater Austin families with the resources they need for mind, body and spiritual healing, and build a stronger, more resilient community. "We wanted to organize a different kind of festival," explains Luis Urrieta, Ph.D., a Foundation board member. "Yes, there will be music, there will be dancing, there will be good food and great fun, but we want you to leave with tools for healing the mind, the body and the spirit. We want to provide a place where Black and Brown families can meet with healing practitioners that look like them and understand their culture and their language." The Foundation has a proven track record
in intervention and prevention programs for Austin's youth at risk of being involved with the criminal justice system. Now, they are working to develop a more holistic approach to solving the school-to-prison pipeline, including workforce development programs for schools and health workers to train on cultural responsiveness and trauma-centered care. Organizers hope that people attending the festival don't just have fun, but also leave refreshed and reconnected with the Greater Austin community.
Riders Against the Storm
Saul Paul, an Austin-based rapper and singer/songwriter, will headline the festival, alongside Austin-based husband and wife duo Riders Against the Storm and Rambo. Their performances will fill the festival with energy as participants hear from noted speakers. Experts in their fields like Rakima Parsons, Calvin Kelly, Ph.D., Nikki Lewis and Tiffany Gillis will talk about mental health and the role of mental health and trauma in Black and Brown communities, while Austin Health Commons will facilitate two racial healing circles. A blessing ceremony by Danza Azteca Guadalupana, Performances from Flava Dance Company, LM Rivers Dance Company and Ballet Folklorico Mexikayotl will also entertain the crowd and invite festival-goers to join in the fun.

Poets who knew him or his work are invited to bring one or two poems to share. An open mic portion of the evening will invite people who worked with Akwasi on any of his many interests to briefly share their memories, and their takeaway on his life of almost monk-like service.

NRI students studying in India will soon be given equal rights, Vayalar Ravi said in Vienna on Friday.
Non-resident Indian (NRI) students studying in India will soon be given equal rights, including in fees and opportunities, as other students, visiting Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi said in Vienna on Friday.
"The Indian government is concerned about the high fees that educational institutions are charging NRI students," Ravi told representatives of Indian communities in Vienna.
Pointing out that the Supreme Court of India had directed private educational institutions to reserve 15 per cent seats for NRI students and permitted them to decide the fees to be charged from them, Ravi said: "The state governments feel that NRIs can afford it. But the government will hold discussions with the managements of educational institutions and persuade them to be more realistic towards NRIs."
"Our efforts towards establishing a university for PIOS (Persons of Indian Origin) is going on a fast track. There is some bureaucratic delay. It will soon become a reality," said Ravi in Vienna, on a two-day visit.
On a six-day European tour to three countries, he urged the 20,000-strong Indian community in Vienna to support their parent country's developmental programmes.
"India has come a long way from the time when we depended on other nations for our food supply. It is now in a position where we can refuse external assistance while facinga crisis," he said, referring to the government's decision to reject help from foreign countries when the 2004 tsunami hit the country's southern coasts.
Maintaining that it was Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's vision as a finance minister and as the prime minister that led the country to economic development, he said the government would not forget the support from the Indian diaspora around the world. "It was the NRI remittance that helped our country overcome the worst crisis. So we should always help each other."
"Our trade with European countries needs to be further improved and the Indians in Vienna can play a crucial role in it," he added.
Reacting to a complaint that the staff in the Indian embassy had been 'rude' to the people there, Ravi said his ministry would ensure that the interests of Indians abroad would be taken care of.
"This ministry is created to look after you and to strengthen the bond with your motherland. We are exploring all ways to strengthen the partnership between the two," Ravi said.
However, he noted some of the Indian embassies abroad were facing acute staff shortage. "India is becoming a major tourist destination. Sometimes staff in the embassies are not be able to handle the bulk of visa applications and other requests."
"Besides, the visa procedures in Vienna are not yet computerised. That's a grave handicap."
He said he would take up the matter with the external affairs ministry. Ravi also asked the community representatives to work in coordination in their country of residence. "I feel that the Indian organisations in Vienna should work under one umbrella organisation. It can coordinate with the embassy in a better way."
There are seven registered Indian organisations in Austria. Ravi, who arrived in Vienna on Friday, will attend the Onam celebrations organised by the Vienna Malayalee Association on Saturday. He will later visit Germany and Switzerland.
