The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Launches First National Autism Public Policy Endowment Fund at Arizona State University
The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation for Adult Autism Announces New Public Policy Fellowship Endowment Fund
Press Release - updated: Oct 30, 2018
CHARLESTON, S.C., October 30, 2018	(Newswire.com) - The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation (DJFF), the nation's first not-for-profit organization to focus exclusively on adult autism, announced today that it has established a new endowment fund at Arizona State University, adding to DJFF's existing endowed program initiatives at Rutgers University, Yale University, Brown University and the University of Miami.
With a gift of $100,000, The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Adult Autism Public Policy Fellowship Endowed Fund at Arizona State University's Watts College of Public Services and Community Solutions will provide support for a Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Fellow at the graduate or post-graduate level in public policy. The Fellow will be tasked with developing a national public policy agenda (The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Adult Autism Public Policy Agenda) and a national public policy white paper (The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Adult Autism Public Policy White Paper), shining a light on prevalent, pressing issues impacting the lives of the diverse population of adults diagnosed with autism and their families. The agenda and white paper will guide the work of the First Place Global Leadership Institute's newly named The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Center for Public Policy. The Fellow will also lead meetings of stakeholders, professionals and legislators to facilitate the creation and implementation of the agenda and white paper, which will be distributed statewide and nationally to agencies, legislative bodies and policymakers whose work impacts adults diagnosed with autism and their families.
"The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Adult Autism Public Policy Fellowship Endowed Fund is the first endowed fund in the nation to support the creation of a unified, national adult autism public policy agenda and white paper," says Linda J. Walder, founder and executive director of the Foundation and a pioneer in the field of adult autism. "Both will bring together stakeholders and professionals to focus on issues that impact those on the lifelong journey of autism."
"To fuel a new wave of housing and community options and shift the paradigm for adults with autism and other neuro-diversities, we must recognize pioneering practices with positive, data-driven outcomes and advance public policy," says Denise D. Resnik, Founder, President and CEO of First Place® AZ. "We're honored to be part of Daniel's family and the collection of endowed funds enabling us to leverage promising adult research, programs and resources that lead to policy initiatives and systems-level changes. This critical combination will result in greater choice, integration, support coordination and equity."
Jonathan Koppell, Dean of the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions adds: "This builds on the great collaborative work with First Place that is driving innovation in this critical area. The gift from DJFF is actually the first to our newly renamed Watts College, and it speaks eloquently to our philosophy. Here we are connecting public policy with direct practice and doing so in partnership with field leaders and other universities to magnify the impact."
The DJFF university endowment initiatives continue to expand the Foundation's mission for a global focus on adult autism. Designed to increase awareness, opportunities and knowledge about autism and aging, each of the five DJFF-endowed programs serves a specific area relating to adult autism: research, program development, fostering creativity and expression through the arts, counseling and resources for family members of adults on the spectrum, and public policy.
Founded by Walder in 2002, The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation has blazed trails to develop, fund and advocate for programs and public policy related to all aspects of adult life for those with autism, including job training, residential living, the arts, recreation, health and wellness, and socialization. DJFF is named in honor of Linda's son Danny, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Danny passed away at age 9.
DJFF-endowed program funds are opening new doors with the establishment of "in perpetuity," adult-autism-focused collaborations with the nation's leading researchers and practitioners at renowned universities. They are poised to lead and address critical issues in adult autism and will advance research and the creation of model programs to expand opportunities for this diverse adult population with autism.
"Our aim is to ensure that there will be an impactful focus on adult autism for generations to come," says Walder. "Today, more than 3.5 million Americans live with an ASD. We need to do more to understand adult autism and to create as many paths as we can for them to participate in and contribute to community life. It is a matter of human rights for all autistic adults to be accepted for who they are and to live the fullest lives possible."

Our mission is to build a community of people passionate about bees, the local ecosystem and the communities of the Sacramento area.
We know how important it is to raise awareness through personal connections with each other and bees. Beekeeping is about more than just honey and we want to get Sacramento engaged by providing hives and beekeeping experiences in urban backyards, small farms, community gardens and at local businesses.
We provide educational services and help people experience the wonder of bees firsthand, encouraging discussions within neighborhoods about bees and beekeeping. Of course, knowing that the honey you are tasting came directly from your neighborhood makes our mission even sweeter!


Chinese social media sites have recently been very engaged in a vaccine scandal. The police in Eastern China have recently arrested thirty-seven people who were involved in prescribing and giving expired vaccinations. A mother and her daughter first started this illegal vaccine ring in 2011 when they trafficked around $90 million worth of expired vaccines made by actual licensed pharmaceutical companies into China. Neither woman made sure to place the vaccines in proper temperature setting, possibly resulting in loss of effectiveness in the vaccines.
The Chinese government is receiving criticism from citizens because the government did nothing to help this issue until it got out of hand. Many people are upset that the government was not proactive in making sure vaccination methods and materials used were safe nor did it take the time to let the public know what had happened. China's World Health Organization softened the real harmful side effects of the expired vaccines, but did say vaccine efficacy may be compromised. The people in China still believe the government is failing to effectively protect their health.
Now the Chinese government has vowed to crack down on trafficked vaccines and to make sure given vaccines are legitimate. There are currently three major pharmaceutical companies based in China that are undergoing extensive investigation by the police to make sure all of their vaccines are safe to use. The focus on profit by distributors has led to thousands of people to be vaccinated by dangerous outdated vaccines.

26th Voyage of the T.S. "Shintoku Maru", c. 1935.
1920s • Kyoto-Nara-Osaka-Kobe • Patriotism/Military • Schools/Universities • Transportation
Tagged with: Imperial Japanese Navy, Kobe, Kobe Nautical College, Mitsubishi, Training cruises
"Voyage No. 26," T.S. [Training Ship] Shintoku Maru, Kobe Nautical College, 1935. The maritime training ship sailed from Japan across the Pacific Ocean to Coos Bay, Oregon in 1935, and returned to Japan via Kahului, Hawaii.
"MARSHFIELD, June 25 – (UP) – Coos Bay has had as visitors this week – the officers and 60 cadets of the Shintoku Maru, a Japanese training ship. The 'five-and-ten' lady reports the young Nipponese have been searching her store for souvenirs of America but have had difficulty in finding anything that wasn't 'Made in Japan.'"
– Corvallis Gazette, June 28, 1935
The construction of the training ship Shintoku Maru for the Kobe Nautical College, a 2700-ton 4-masted barquentine owned by the Japanese Ministry of Transport, was completed at the Mitsubishi Shipyard, Kobe, in March 1924. In June 1945 she was bombed and sank. Shintoku Maru was then raised in August 1946 and repaired, and began service again as a training ship.
In 1962, Shintoku Maru was retired and docked. In 1977, the ship was laid-up on the grounds of the Kobe Merchant Marine Training School as an historic maritime exhibit. The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995 caused enough severe damage to the vessel that it was dismantled.

Nokia isn't shy when it comes to trolling Apple. You can check out the wondering and stunned iPhone zombies commercial here, or this ad that slams the iPhone 5 for only coming in black and white.
Today, during Apple's iPhone 5C announcement, Nokia UK took to Twitter once again and declared that "imitation is the best form of flattery" by showing a bunch of colourful Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices. The iPhone 5C was unveiled today and is Apple's first foray into colour as it'll be available in green, yellow, blue, white and red.

PwC and GE Digital form strategic alliance to help organisations harness the power of the Industrial Internet
PwC and GE Digital have formed a strategic alliance to help organisations harness the power of the Industrial Internet - the integration of physical machinery with networked sensors and software – to lower costs, improve asset reliability, reduce risk and help drive profitable growth.
The alliance combines PwC's business transformation expertise with GE Digital's offerings, including its Predix cloud-based operating system for the Industrial Internet.
Predix helps companies build applications that connect to industrial assets, collect and analyse data, and provide real-time insights to enhance industrial infrastructure operations. PwC and GE Digital will also help clients create customised applications to reflect their specific needs.
The alliance is part of PwC's broader strategy of investing in new technologies and alliances to help clients thrive in the digital age and capitalise on market disruption. PwC and GE Digital will work with clients globally and across industries.

Investments in Industry 4.0 are expected to reach around 5% of annual revenue per year, but more than half of companies expect a return on investment within two years.
Commenting on the alliance, Jonathan Tate, UK and EMEA technology consulting leader at PwC, said:
"The Industrial Internet is disrupting the market as executives grapple with shrinking profit margins, slowing growth, cost volatility and changing customer demands.
"This alliance demonstrates our commitment to helping clients apply digital technology in a way that's central to business performance. Together, PwC and GE Digital can help clients find solutions that combine strategy, security, technology, people, process and data to drive distinctive results."
Steve Plimsoll, GE Digital alliance leader for EMEA at PwC, said:

New transportation features at UT Dallas will help students, faculty and staff navigate campus a bit easier this fall.
Parking guidance systems in all three parking structures will help drivers quickly find available spaces on each level.
Parking guidance systems in all three parking structures will help drivers quickly find available spaces on each level. Parking guidance is also viewable on the UT Dallas app (Apple and Android) and Shop UTD app (Apple and Android). In addition, several parking lots were updated and improved over the summer. With the completion of the new Engineering and Computer Science West (ECSW) building, Lot I, just north of Parking Structure 4, is reopening with 115 spaces.
The city of Richardson added 500 feet to the eastbound left-turn lane at Campbell Road and Waterview Parkway to improve traffic flow to campus. The city also finished repairs on southbound Floyd Road to Campbell Road and added bike lanes to Floyd Road and on southbound Waterview. Though traffic flow should improve, please allow extra time to reach your destination during the first week of classes.
Parking permits may be purchased online or in person at the PS3 Parking Office (PS3 1.200) from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays. TollTags are also available for purchase online and then can be picked up at the PS3 Parking Office.
Comet Cruisers are the buses that serve the University and surrounding community. Please carefully review the route map and schedules to make your transportation plans.
Comet Cabs, the University's campus shuttle service, will run seven routes this semester, with expanded service on the Rutford North route to include service to Synergy Park North (SPN). The cabs also can be tracked by GPS.
Comet Cabs routes have been expanded for fall. The shuttles can be tracked by GPS.
Because of enhancement work being done on campus, Rutford Avenue will be closed to vehicles except golf carts. Pedestrians should use the sidewalks to allow Comet Cab traffic to continue smoothly along the street.
The University Trail extension now provides a 3 ½-mile paved hike-and-bike path around the entire campus. Starting at Waterview Parkway and Franklyn Jenifer Drive, the trail goes north to Synergy Park Boulevard, and turns east on the south side of Synergy Park Boulevard to meet existing paths on Floyd Road.
The University added more bike racks outside Engineering and Computer Science South (ECSS) and the newly renovated southwest entrance to the Administration Building (AD), which also features outdoor seating areas.
On-campus transportation services include bike repair stations, vehicle charging stations, Booster fueling service, the UT Dallas Zipcar fleet and the bike-sharing service VBikes.
For more information on navigating campus, contact Parking and Transportation.

Sergio Verastegui
13 Nov — 20 Dec 2014 at the Thomas Bernard-Cortex Athletico Gallery in Bordeaux, France
Sergio Verastegui, 90°, 2013, graphite sur marbre, crayon cassé, 17,5 x 12 x 16,5 cm, pièce unique, Cortex Athletico, N° Inv. SV/13/005
The exhibition "Skins, grids & drop drawings" by Sergio Verastegui continues a work that started with the book "a single line which is invisible and unceasing" that was recently published by Art-O-Rama and the Editions P in Marseille at the end of August 2014.
The title of the book comes from a sentence by Jorge Luis Borges, who imagined a maze made out of one unceasing and invisible line. This image allowed me to refer to the idea of process and work towards a mental maze, without an interior or exterior. This maze develops into a form of writing, that, in my work, is sculptural and fragmentary writing.
It is therefore a project in which fragments of narration and History are connected, materials and shapes contaminating one another and territories, spaces, physical movement. In the prospect of going back to a real presence, to the materiality of sculpture and spaces that are psychologically loaded. The idea is to proceed in an archaeological manner to extract parts of the process that have already been started, namely linked to concepts of railings and skin. The work developed for Art-O-Rama will therefore be continued with a new production of artworks and new combinations of these elements.
The artist will create a new series entitled "drop drawings" that will be shown for the first time in the two venues. It is a series of sculpture-drawings created with bronze and gold.
Winner of the "Showroom Prize" of the Art-O-Rama fair, Sergio Verastegui presented the exhibition "a single line which is invisible and unceasing" for the first time in Marseille for the 2014 edition of the fair, from 29 August to 13 September 2014.
"Skins, grids & drop drawings" will take place in two parts. The first will be in Paris from 24 October to 22 November. The second will be in Bordeaux from 13 November to 24 January 2015.

As you are aware, AAF is a small, Australian charity run entirely by volunteers. We ensure our work remains focused through regular visits and ongoing communication with our people in the field.
Currently we have six interns who work with Vusi Maphalala. (You may remember, Vusi visited us last year and attended our Garden party fundraiser.) On our recent visit, we met with these young people and heard their stories. Most were village children who attended our life skills camps and workshops but have been unable to find work. They are paid a small wage to cover bus fairs and lunch money and attend a day of instruction with Vusi each week. On other days they run youth clubs in their villages. Rosalie and I attended one of these during our trip along with 40 very keen young people. Many youth club attendees are chosen to attend workshops with Vusi.
There are many things we hear from interns that inspire us to keep this work going. Recently we were told of Lindokuhle; a young boy of 14 they met through one of the youth clubs. Lindokuhle (pictured) was living on his own under very difficult circumstances. When his parents died, he was sent to live with relatives who also passed away shortly after.
The only food Lindokuhle was receiving was at lunchtime during school. He was also on medication for HIV. As it is very difficult to take this medication without a regular diet, the interns gathered food from nearby homes to keep him well during treatment. Our interns also helped Lindokuhle repair his leaking roof and a hole in the mud walls of his home as seen in his photograph.
One of our interns, Bongiwe is also a librarian at Intubane School, which is partnered by St Peters Anglican College under our School partnership program. Bongiwe offers a much-needed 'ear' for the girls and also runs youth clubs.
AAF Interns also help elderly people with keeping their mud brick homes and yards clean and collecting water for those too ill to walk to the river or communal pumps.
There is also an ongoing need for the support of young people during the loss of a loved one. This is another area in which our interns are trained. They are not only emotional support, but also money for food at funerals for those who could otherwise not afford it.
Every week we hear new stories of our intern's work and every week we are inspired. Because the interns were once vulnerable village children themselves, they provide AAF access to remote communities to detect the most vulnerable children for us to assist. The elders endorse our interns' presence in their villages and report that issues such as drug abuse and sexual abuse have decreased due to youth clubs starting in these desolate communities. This is a direct response to our intern's relationships with lonely and disenfranchised youth. Getting the youth involved in projects such as gardening and cleaning provides a sense of belonging and self worth which orphaned children do not ordinarily possess.
Each week, we receive reports and stories from our projects and this renews our drive to work harder and to raise more funds to expand our work.
Thank you for the help in the past and please, if you can, give to our appeal this month. We urgently need more indigenous locals trained as interns to work with our youth. If you could see the direct results of the work of AAF has done so far and the lives it has changed, you would be so happy to be a part of our future. Truly, to make a difference in even one life is a wonderful thing!
Those taking AIDS & TB medications suffer from many side effects that can be dramatically reduced through access to fresh vegetables. Our garden projects provide education and seeds allowing communities to maintain their own sustainable gardens enabling them to 'help themselves' through both nutrition and self-sufficient incomes.
Mrs Hlongwane (Mumsie) runs this project and recently wrote to us about one of the women who has been helped.
Mathanwa Hlongwane lives in the Moyeni area with her family of 18 members. 15 of these members are children and 12 of those are orphans. Because they have no documents, these orphans receive no pension. Three of the children have access to a small grant which the entire family must live on. Mathanwa's dependants also includes her mother who is suffering from HIV and her brother who has epilepsy.
These circumstances prevent Mathanwa from being able to work as she must look after her family. In 2015, Mathwanda became very ill and was diagnosed as HIV Positive. One of her orphans was also diagnosed that same year.
Recently, Mathwanda spoke to us about the help our garden project has provided.
AAF has assisted Mrs Hlongwane's family not by simply providing food and financial support, but by creating a garden that can help keep her self-sufficient in the future.


This midcareer record marked Dave Matthews' return to a band setting after a successful solo detour, and the reunion is as breezy and comfortable as anything in their catalog. Beginning with the portrait of "Dream Girl" -- top untied and glistening deliciously in the summer sun -- the record is filled with bike rides, puppy love and warm nostalgia. Matthews' languid delivery gives these tunes their relaxed character (and makes the lone political treatise on Iraq, "Everybody Wake Up," an odd duck) and helps D.M.B. slouch past their midband crisis with the casual class of wrinkled linen.

How to subscribe to Airtel Youtube weekly, monthly, night plan. How to subscribe to Airtel Youtube plus pack. Airtel youtube monthly night plan.
I don't really think I need this YouTube plan because their network is very poor in my area.
The YouTube plus pack offers much better deal. I have a serious decline in the quality of service by Airtel, browsing speed is now so slow, and the service signal fluctuates too much.

What is a Balance Sheet?
Accounting for Decision Making
Universidade de Michigan
4.8 (70 classificações) | 5.2K alunos inscritos
Through this course, you will start by addressing the two "big questions" of accounting: "What do I have?" and "How did I do over time?" You will see how the two key financial statements – the balance sheet and the income statement - are designed to answer these questions and then move on to consider how individual transactions aggregate to make up these financial statements. After developing a broad understanding of accounting and financial statements, you will begin to develop a more nuanced understanding of individual components of doing business, such as making a sale or building inventory. By considering many of the more common actions of a company, you will build your understanding of accounting, and explore these concepts by applying them across various types of transactions. Once you understand these individual concepts better, you will be ready to return to the overall financial statements and use them as informational tools, including building ratios. You can do this course standalone or to qualify for the residential component of the Finance for Strategic Decision-Making Executive Education program. For more information, see the FAQ below.

very clear, informative; gives high-level rationales for acct treatments.
It is an excellent course, which you should not miss out.
Why Do We Have Accounting and How Can You Make it Work for You?
Every organized society needs information about its activities and accomplishments. Accounting was created to fulfill this need. In this module we will explore how accounting was designed to meet the needs of decision makers and what this means to you as a user of accounting information. We will discuss the concept behind accrual accounting including introducing the two primary accrual accounting financial statements - the balance sheet and income statement. This module will discuss the purpose and goal of those financial statements, but we will save your experience in creating those statements until module two. In lesson two of this module, we will explore some basic bookkeeping tools that will get you ready to create a set of financial statements. The material in this module is likely to take less than a week, but we will make up for it in module two.

In this video, we're going to discuss the balance sheet.
That tool that's going to give us the answer to the first big question in life.
As I promised you in our first video, I'm going to take a common sense approach to
this, so we won't get to the accounting jargon and definitions until near the end.
Let me remind you what that first big question in life is.
It's, what is the financial condition of an organization on a given day?.
Remember, that is a question that has been asked since the beginning of civilization.
And we've come up with this tool, the balance sheet to answer that question.
It does that by giving up a snapshot in time of where the organization stands.
So what do we need to know if we're going to get that snapshot in time?
Well, really what we need to know is what do I have, and where did I get it from?
And the two of these should be equal.
If I didn't get it from somewhere, then I can't have it.
This is the idea of a balance sheet.
These two sides are going to balance.
Now, if you've ever looked at a financial statement you know that you don't actually
see a column that says, what do I have and where did I get from?
Instead you see a column that says assets, that's what do I have.
And then on the other side you see these liabilities and shareholders' equity.
And we say those two things equal.
The liabilities and shareholders' equity are where I got things from.
Let's dig into the balance sheet a little more to understand what each one of those
words means.
The assets, those are the things we have that we're going to use for
future value creation.
Another way to think of those are, that's what I own.
The liabilities, those are the future value that
we're going to have to give to outsiders, commitments that we've already made.
You can think of that as what I owe.
And the shareholders' equity.
Well, those are amounts that were either directly contributed by owners or
it's value that the firm's created over time but
has not distributed back out to the owners yet.
And you can think of that as the residual, or the book value of the net worth.
You've probably stopped right now and said wait a minute.
Assets and liabilities, that made perfect sense.
What do I own and what do I owe.
Why for shareholders' equity are you saying things like residual, book value,
and net worth?
Well here we can take advantage of the fact that the balance sheet actually
is an equation.
And we can manipulate it mathematically to better understand that.
So let's start with our equation.
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity.
Now we can keep our assets where they're at but let's go ahead and
subtract liabilities from both sides of the equation.
That means on the left hand side, we have Assets- Liabilities and
all that's left on the right hand side is Shareholders' Equity.
So our assets are what we own and our liabilities are what we owe others.
The difference between those is whatever is left over and that's for
our shareholders.
That's why frequently instead of saying shareholders' equity, people will use
the word like residual, book value of the firm, net worth of the firm,
net book value of the firm, or any other sort of derivation of those sort of names.
You can see that shareholders' equity really just means
after I've fulfilled all of my obligations,
anything else that I still own at that point belongs to my shareholders.
Now I've been giving you the common sense definitions of these items, and
any time that you start to get confused you should go back to those.
But in the cases of assets and liabilities, the standard setters actually
have spent a tremendous amount of time coming up with relatively simple
definitions that are robust across a large range of situations.
I'm going to take those definitions and
break them down into a couple parts to make them even easier for you.
The definition of an asset.
It's something with probable future economic benefit.
Now, I want to stress this word probable.
Notice that we didn't say certain or guaranteed future economic benefit.
It says probable.
That's where the judgement comes in.
If you believe you're going to get a future economic benefit,
that's the first criteria for an asset.
Secondly, obtained or controlled by the firm.
The crucial word here is control.
If you don't control an asset,
then it's hard to say you're going to get probable future economic benefit from it.
Let's think back to the Corvette from the last video.
If we took that Corvette from our kid and
started driving it ourselves, we might as well get some of the fun out of it.
Well, if every time you park that in the parking lot, somebody else is welcome to
just take it, and make it theirs because you don't control it,
then it's not likely that you're going to get future economic benefit out of it.
Even though that's kind of a silly example,
you can think of the same thing in business.
If you had a store but other people are welcome to move their items in there and
sell them themselves, then again, you're not controlling it and
it's not likely you're going to get the future economic benefit from that store.
There's still one more criteria for an asset though.
It has to come as the result of a past transaction or event.
You can't look into the future and say, hey,
I'm going to do all these great things but at that point,
we'll create a probable future economic benefit and I'll control them then.
It has to be something that's already occurred.
So now we have to put all three criteria together every time we assess whether
something is an asset.
Does it have a probable future economic benefit, under our control,
as a result of past transaction?
If it meets all three of these criteria, it's an asset.
If it fails any one of them, it's not an asset.
Similarly, we have a pretty good definition of liabilities.
That only has two parts though.
The first part, probable future economic sacrifice.
Again, I really want to stress that word probable.
Notice, it doesn't say a certain future economic sacrifice, but
just a probably future economic sacrifice.
We're back to having to make judgement,
just like in the accrual accounting that we talked about in the last video.
Now, not only do we have to have a probable future economic sacrifice but
just like an asset it has to come from a past transaction.
We don't look into the future and assume that hey,
because of the business we're in, it's likely that we'll have
future economic sacrifices for events that are going to occur in the future.
Rather we have to wait for an event to have occurred in this period, and
then figure out do we have a probable future economic sacrifice.
Those are two pretty simple and straightforward definitions.
We're going to work with them throughout the course, and
I think you're going to find they're pretty powerful.
No matter how complicated the situation you run into, in this course or
in your jobs, you'll be able to apply these definitions and come back to pretty
a simple answer of whether we have an asset or whether we have a liability.
I wish I could tell you the same thing for shareholders' equity, but
I'm going to keep this one not even in fancy colors.
Because we don't have a good definition for it.
We're going to use the working definition that it's the residual value
remaining after all obligations have been fulfilled.
The standard setters have been struggling with shareholders' equity.
There's a lot of complicated financial transactions that really
sit on the line between shareholders' equity and liabilities.
In a way, that's beyond what goes on in this course.
I feel pretty confident that sometime, hopefully soon,
they'll have an equally good definition.
But for the purposes of the course we're perfectly fine just to use
this residual definition.
Now I'm going to do a set of videos on shareholders' equity that will
clarify it a lot more,
but we're going to work basically with this simple definition as we move forward.
Now, before we leave the balance sheet I just want to step
back to the big picture here.
We started this whole course by saying that
accounting should provide information to decision makers.
So when would you use a balance sheet?
Well, let's think of a couple situations.
If you're trying to figure out whether you have enough inventory to fulfil a sale,
or future sales you think you might make.
If you're trying to figure out, do I have enough cash on hand to pay my suppliers or
am I over extending myself?
Maybe what you're trying to figure out is how much value did I really let
the manager control during this entire period?
So, I want to think about the total number of assets they had so
that I can hold them accountable for getting a good return for me.
Or we could think about it as how much do I owe my suppliers so
that I can start thinking about cash management going forward.
Maybe I want to think about how much do I just owe in the short-term to everybody,
not just to my suppliers but to my employees,
maybe bank loans that I borrowed long ago, etc.
And of course, we could think about this question of, how much value is there for
my shareholders?
If I'm thinking about things like, do I want to pay a dividend or
make some sort of a repurchase, etc.
All of those are topics we'll cover going forward.
Now if you look at these two columns,
you'll realize those on the left of the slides
are pieces of information you'd get from the asset part of the balance sheet.
And the first two on the right are items that you'll get from the liability
component, and the final item is one that we're going to get from the stockholders'
equity section of the balance sheet.
You can see that the balance sheet can answer a whole bunch of questions.
And it's really not that complicated of a statement if we just keep thinking of it
as answering that big question of, where do I stand at this given point in time?
In the next video, we're going to break the income statement down the same way.

The proposal happened last summer at Garden Cove, a beautiful, secluded beach on Waiheke Island only accessible by boat. Every summer since we met we've sailed together, so the sailing proposal was an inspired choice. Anthony rowed me to the beach in a wooden dinghy, champagne at the ready.
We had a very intimate wedding with immediate family, grandparents and a couple of aunties and uncles – less than 30 guests. We've been together for a while and knew we wanted a simple, relaxed celebration so we'd have time to enjoy the day. It was held at Anthony's parents' house where he grew up, which has a beautiful outlook to the sea and an expansive lawn. We visited numerous wedding venues before we realised the perfect place was at home. The whole day was exactly what we'd hoped it would be. Sunny, warm and full of joy.
Anthony's mum Sue sourced masses of coloured rose petals from a local supplier for confetti and to float in some of the water gardens that surround the house, and his sister Nicola hand-painted a watercolour floral motif for our invitations and place cards and had them hand-written by a calligrapher in Hong Kong where she lives.
His aunt and uncle – Jann and Simo Haanterä – played the most beautiful music on viola and flute, which made our ceremony unforgettable and very personal to us. We felt so privileged to have them be part of our wedding in this way.
I instantly knew my dress was the one. I wanted something minimalist, understated and a little bit bohemian. It just felt right the second I tried it on. Also, my sister didn't laugh hysterically so I knew I was onto a winner – there were a few unsuccessful dress candidates before getting to this point.
It was pretty special seeing each other at opposite ends of the aisle – I've never seen Anthony in a full suit before and he looked so handsome! It felt like this crazy culmination of our time together up to that very moment, so much happiness, and excitement for the future.
Our reception dinner was at the French Kitchen, the French Café's private dining space. With the exception of some simple florals, we did absolutely nothing to the room – it's expansive and airy with beautiful art and mid-century furniture. It was the perfect size for our party, and not a coloured chair sash in sight.

Continue the History of Soap
Written by Segovia
Date: 15 Feb 21
The English began making soap during the 12th century. In 1633 King Charles I granted a 14-year monopoly to the Society of Soapmakers of Westminster.
According to Alison Sim, in her book "The Tudor Housewife," wealthy ladies of the Tudor period (1485-1603) used a scented toilet soap or 'castile soap' for their daily washing. This soap, made with olive oil and imported, was very expensive. A household instruction manual written during this period included recipes for soap which suggests that people of all levels of society were interested in personal hygiene.
During the reign of Elizabeth I, soap consumption in England was greater than in any other European country. It seems that Queen Bess set the fashion herself, for it was reported that the Queen took a bath every four weeks "whether it was necessary or not."
In the 17th and 18th centuries, just as the soap industry was gaining momentum in England, it became the subject of a series of restrictions and crippling taxation on soap. Eventually, the Victorian Era came around, and with it, a new interest in personal hygiene. It was not until 1853 that Gladstone abolished the tax on soap allowing soap to be available and affordable to more people.
Two discoveries by French chemists helped elevate the progress of commercial soap making. In 1791, the French chemist Nicolas Leblanc discovered a process for transforming common salt (sodium chloride) into an alkali called soda ash. Since alkali was critical in the manufacture of soap as well as other products, this discovery became one of the most important chemical processes of the nineteenth century. In 1811, Chevreul discovered the chemistry behind the relationship of glycerin to fatty acids. With the advent of the industrial revolution, the stage was now set for mass soap production.
In the 19th century, Louis Pasteur proclaimed that good personal hygiene would reduce the spread of diseases which helped increase the demand for soap.
In the United States, by the beginning of the 19th century, soap making was one of the fastest-growing industries. Rural Americans made homemade soap using a process developed during Colonial times. They would save ashes from their fires for months. When they had enough fat leftover from butchering hogs they would make soap.
Old fashioned lye was made using hardwood ashes, a barrel or ash hopper, and rainwater. Holes were drilled in the bottom of a barrel. The barrel was placed on a grooved stone slab that rested on a pile of rocks. A layer of gravel was placed over the holes. Then a layer of straw, twigs, and sticks was placed on top of the gravel as a filter to prevent the ashes from getting in the solution. After filling a barrel with hardwood ashes, rainwater was poured through the ashes to leach out the brown lye liquid which would flow into the groove around the stone slab and drip down into a container.
Some soapmakers used an ash hopper for making lye instead of the barrel method. Using the same basic process, the lye dripped into a container located underneath the hopper.
The most difficult part of early soapmaking was determining if the lye was the correct strength. The "lye water" was considered the proper strength to make soap when an egg or small potato placed in the solution floated about halfway beneath the surface of the solution. If the egg or potato floated on top, the lye was too strong. If it sank quickly, the lye was too weak. Some early soapmakers used goose or chicken feathers to test their lye. If a feather inserted in the lye water began to dissolve in it, then the lye water was at the right strength.
During World War I, commercial soap, as we know it today, came into existence. The injuries of war brought an increased need for cleaning agents. However, at the same time, the ingredients needed to make soap were scarce. German scientists created a new form of "soap" made with various synthetic compounds and as a result, detergents were born. By the 1950′s, detergent sales had surpassed soap sales in the United States.
Most commercial "soaps" available today are actually detergents, which are made with petroleum by-products. Since these "soaps" are detergents, by law they cannot be called soap. Chances are that when you see a soap called a "body bar," it is not soap at all.
After the Great War and until the 1930s, soap was made by a method called batch kettle boiling. Commercial soap makers had huge three story kettles that produced thousands of pounds of soap over the course of about a week. Shortly thereafter, an invention called the continuous process was introduced and refined by Procter & Gamble. This process decreased soap making production time to less than a day. Large commercial soap manufacturers still use the continuous process.
Commercial soap manufacturers also learned that they could remove the natural glycerin in soap which gives it moisturizing properties. They sell it or use it in other higher priced products like the moisturizers and creams you need when their soap dries out your skin. Removing the natural glycerin also extends the shelf life of the soap so that it can sit in the storehouse or on store shelves for many years.
Today there is a heightened awareness of the possible adverse effects of many of the synthetic additives and chemicals in commercial soap. Educated consumers are turning to all-natural organic soaps like ours. Even large companies are starting to advertise "natural ingredients" in their products.
But Beware! The addition of one or two natural ingredients does not make a product "all-natural." It is virtually impossible for large companies to create natural, handmade soaps.
Blue Libellule Soaps and Such soaps are made in small batches with natural and certified organic ingredients.
We work with specialized charts and computer programs to determine the correct proportions of ingredients to use in the soap making process. In addition, we use accurate scales that allow us to measure ingredients by a tenth of an ounce. The result – a mild and carefully crafted handmade natural soap

I am getting drafted
ImmoralMinority
My younger son is a freshman in high school, and is in the band. He goes to a different school from his older brother, and we really didn't know these families before this year. I still don't know them, because I am unfriendly and avoid other parents.
Some of you who have been involved in band may recognize this scenario. The boosters raise money and volunteer to wrangle kids and there is much parental drama. I ran away from this group when one chaperone mom was bullied to tears by the other chaperone moms. I give money, work the volunteer concession fundraisers, and stay the fuck away from all that noise. Apparently, my presence has not gone unnoticed.
People have been talking to my wife (she is a nice lady). There is apparently a group of harpies who have held this organization hostage for years, and my controlling the boosters bullied the previous director into giving favorable treatment to their kids. This year, there is a new director and he and a bunch of dissident parents want to make some sort of power move and oust the harpies from the booster organization. The new director has some ideas the harpies are mad about, like making the kids audition for and earn their parts.
So they came to my wife and said that the only person running for Board President is the husband of one of the harpies, and they want me to run against him. I think the guy who donated the Spitfire should do it. I would vote for him. But they told my wife that they think I won't take any shit from anyone and I will run it without drama. These people don't even know me. This is the last thing in the world I want to do.
But Mrs IM wants me to do it. Speech and vote is Thursday.

The second square which is #blacksquare2 seems to always keep aligning at the bottom with my first square and can't bring it up to the page.Also the words 'i'm lovin' it' seem to be separate from each other. If it helps, I'm trying to achieve something like the McDonald's Website, just for practice.

    Home

A: Element div takes up all the available horizontal space by default.
You can use span instead of div for the first div. Also, setting
display: inline;

in css will have the same effect.

A: For the text 'i'm lovin it' to be aligned properly you should not give any width for the div.
div is a block element and so will have the property to take the entire block.
Try giving div{display:inline;} in your css.


High Expression of Cathepsin E in Tissues but Not Blood of Patients with Barrett's Esophagus and Adenocarcinoma.
Ann Surg Oncol 2015 Jul 28;22(7):2431-8. Epub 2014 Oct 28.
St. Vincent's Centre for Applied Medical Research, Sydney, Australia.
Background: Cathepsin E (CTSE), an aspartic proteinase, is differentially expressed in the metaplasia-dysplasia-neoplasia sequence of gastric and colon cancer. We evaluated CTSE in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and cancer because increased CTSE levels are linked to improved survival in several cancers, and other cathepsins are up-regulated in BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).
Methods: A total of 273 pretreatment tissues from 199 patients were analyzed [31 normal squamous esophagus (NE), 29 BE intestinal metaplasia, 31 BE with dysplasia (BE/D), 108 EAC]. CTSE relative mRNA expression was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and protein expression was measured by immunohistochemistry. CTSE serum levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Median CTSE mRNA expression levels were ≥1,000-fold higher in BE/intestinal metaplasia and BE/D compared to NE. CTSE levels were significantly lower in EAC compared to BE/intestinal metaplasia and BE/D, but significantly higher than NE levels. A similar expression pattern was present in immunohistochemistry, with absent staining in NE, intense staining in intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia, and less intense EAC staining. CTSE serum analysis did not discriminate patient groups. In a uni- and multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, CTSE expression was not significantly associated with survival in patients with EAC, although CTSE expression above the 25th percentile was associated with a 41 % relative risk reduction for death (hazard ratio 0.59, 95 % confidence interval 0.27-1.26, p = 0.17).
Conclusions: CTSE mRNA expression is up-regulated more than any known gene in Barrett intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia tissues. Protein expression is similarly highly intense in intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia tissues.

Q: Homemade Li-ion charger I am trying to build a lithium battery charger (Li-Ion) for charging banks of 6s batteries of varying capacities (2-30Ah) from a varied DC input.
Given that I need to supply CC/CV to charge these batteries I plan on using a buck/boost converter such as this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1500W-30A-Voltage-Step-Up-Converter-Boost-CC-CV-Power-Supply-Module/292853831480?epid=13026837672&hash=item442f72d738:g:EfsAAOSwtYZcCiBH
Connected directly to a BMS (or several in parallel) which offers charge balancing:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-BMS-6S-25A-35A-45A-60A-24V-25-2V-Li-ion-Battery-PCB-PCM-with-Balance/153021323145?hash=item23a0c81789:m:md0CttkjID5Rn60hEU8c1BA
My questions are as follows:
1) Will the above parts safely charge a 6s li-ion battery, assuming current supply is set appropriately for their cells' capacity?
2) Is it necessary to add a separate system for charge termination at low current (the above BMS claims to offer overcharge protection but I am dubious, not to mention 4.25v seems high)?
If this is necessary what would be the easiest way to integrate such a function?
3) Final question - what would I need to adapt about this system for charging LiFePo batteries in series?
Thanks in advance

A: Reading the comments I feel the need to point out:
Warning
"Good", i.e. healthy, i.e. non-defective, cells are safe and easy to charge, see below.
If a Lithium cell is damaged, through previous mechanical, thermal, or electrical abuse (over-discharge, over-charge, over-current), which may not be visible at all, charging that cell (as well as using it, sometimes even just storing them) bears significant risk of thermal runaway with fire, likely causing a chain reaction of the other cells in a battery pack.
A good/sophisticated charger will employ different mechanisms to try and detect defective cells and abort charging. Some symptoms of some defects can be detected by the charger before it's too late. Some may not be so pronounced and go undetected. That's why even with the most expensive/sophisticated chargers there's still a chance of disaster.
Answer to OP

1) Will the above parts safely charge a 6s li-ion battery, assuming
  current supply is set appropriately for their cells' capacity?

Yes.

2) Is it necessary to add a separate system for charge termination at
  low current (the above BMS claims to offer overcharge protection but I
  am dubious, not to mention 4.25v seems high)? If this is necessary
  what would be the easiest way to integrate such a function?

No, not necessary. As long as you make sure to never apply more than 4.2V to a cell, you're safe. This means that the PSU in your case must be set to never output more than 6*4.2V = 25.2V, besides limiting the current to appropriate value for the batteries to charge. The BMS will take care of balancing to ensure that you don't end up with one cell at e.g. 4.0V and another one at 4.4V (i.e. apparently "safe" 8.4V for a 2s).
Consider the overcharge protection of the BMS (@4.25V) as a safety feature to prevent fire, not as part of the charging algorithm.
Don't rely on this to normally terminate your charge. It's like a circuit breaker in your home: You don't stick a screwdriver into your wall outlet to turn off the light, although it will seem to work as desired most of the time.
You may want to play it extra safe or to be gentle to your batteries to prolong their life and set V[max] to 4.15V or even 4.10V per cell. This significantly reduces stress and may double the cell's life by limiting the SoC to about 90% instead of 100% (=4.2V per cell).
Note that while terminating charging is not required as long as you stay at or below 4.2V per cell, holding a cell at 4.2V for extended periods will reduce the cell's useful cycle life. Hence the cells will suffer if you keep the charger running e.g. over night or even over a weekend. Apart from that, it's not too dangerous to apply 4.2V for some time even after the cell is already full. Although a safety timer does make sense as one means to detect a cell defect: If the battery is expected to be fully charged after e.g. 1 hour, and the charger detects that it does not seem to be full even after e.g. 2 hours, it should assume a defect and abort charging.

3) Final question - what would I need to adapt about this system for
  charging LiFePo batteries in series?

Because LiFePo's operate at a lower maximum voltage (about 3.6V instead of 4.2V for Li-Ion), you'll need a different BMS, and you need to set the PSU's maximum output voltage to 3.6V per cell, i.e. 6*3.6V = 21.6V max.

A: I would not recommend to jury rig a charger for Li-based chemistries. Li-ion and LiFePo batteries are very sensitive to being properly charged and, due to the large energy they pack, can be disastrous if they even feel like being unkindly handled. While what you propose is safe for NiCd and NiMH chemistries, it is not for Li chemistries. If you want to build a charger, first read up how such chargers are supposed to work (there are good articles and appnotes from the charger chip manufacturers, Ti and Linear/Analog are good places to start). If you cannot find a board with a suitable charger chip somewhere, you can build your own PCB (not too difficult, just requires some care).
For the first experiments, I urge you to use battery packs where each cell has its individual protection circuit. Or use them in an environment where a metal fire wouldn't cause damage or safety issues.
BTW: there is a reason why chargers for Li batteries are custom builds for a specific type of battery. Understand why this is, before attempting to build your own charger.

DofJ's decisions on music licensing upset everyone
In a major setback to music publishers, the Justice Department decided this week it will not alter a decades-old system that requires royalty collection societies ASCAP and BMI to license songs to everyone at a fixed rate. The Justice Department dealt another potential blow to the music industry by calling for so-called "100% licensing." In cases involving songs with multiple songwriters. This would require ASCAP and BMI to provide a license for the whole song, and then apportion revenues amongst the different writers.
The heads of two of the world's biggest publishing companies have now both said that they aren't happy with the recent ruling. Universal Music Publishing Group CEO Jody Gerson and Warner/Chappell boss Jon Platt want publishers to be allowed to negotiate digital rights outside of blanket licenses offered by Collection Societies joining Sony/ATV boss Martin Bandier in declaring the position taken by the DofJ is deeply disappointing, and a threat to the livelihood of songwriters. The DofJ confirmed existing consent decrees – effectively a blanket licence – tat have governed ASCAP and BMI since 1941 and leaving them intact will mean publishers remain unable to partially withdraw their repertoire from the PROs in order to negotiate more lucrative direct deals with digital platforms.
Sony/ATV chairman/CEO Martin Bandier has led the protests from publishers and performance rights organisations over the US Department Of Justice's decision to not amend the consent decrees affecting PROs, while introducing a controversial new "100% licensing" scheme.
"We are incredibly disappointed by the unjust way the Department has decided to interpret the consent decrees," said Bandier, adding "Its decision is going to cause a tremendous amount of uncertainty and chaos in a market place that has worked well for years and will adversely impact everyone in the licensing process, including PROs, licensees, music publishers and, most of all, songwriters who can ill afford to hire lawyers to figure out their rights under this inexplicable ruling. The decision raises more questions than answers."
And both BMI and ASCAP voiced their displeasure with the DofJ: after the decision, ASCAP and BMI issued a joint statement saying: "ASCAP and BMI met yesterday with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and heard its proposal regarding our respective consent decrees. We are both evaluating the information presented and informed the DoJ we will respond to its proposal in the near term."
In a statement, ASCAP CEO Beth Matthews, said that the 100% licensing rule would end "the long-standing industry practice of fractional share licensing." She added, "Unfortunately, the DoJ indicated that because of the complexities of the transition to this 100% licensing requirement, it will not consider the updates we requested to our consent decrees at this time but, instead, may revisit those issues after a transition period."
The DoJ is said to be giving ASCAP and BMI one year to prepare for the shift to 100 percent licensing. If ASCAP and BMI choose not to adopt 100 percent licensing, the DoJ could file suit against them on antitrust grounds — the reason for the consent decrees initially — leaving a court to decide whether the PROs were in violation.
Jay Rosenthal, the former general counsel for the National Music Publishers Association and now a partner at law firm Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, told Music Week that the main music publishers "will most likely withdraw [their repertoire] and they have been considering and planning for this for quite some time."
And the Independent Music Publishers Forum (IMPF) which counts more than 50 rights-holders as members, including Bucks Music Group, Reservoir/Reverb Music, Sugarmusic, Budde Music, SONGS Music Publishing, Wixen Music Publishing, ABKCO, Bicycle Music Company and Downtown Music Publishing said in a statement this week: "How is it possible that the U.S. Department of Justice made a decision to not only leave the outdated consent decrees as they are, despite all the meetings, entreaties and ideas of the last two years, but added to its' interpretation of those decrees in a clearly punitive and devastating move for small and indie music publishers and their songwriters?"

Fast forward to college when I started lifting weights. My brother gave my a box heavily processed whey protein packets. The packaged protein was the start of my turn towards eating healthy. Eating clean started with eating dirty because it raised my awareness of what I was eating. I wrote down everything I ate including the carbs, protein, and fat. That food journaling pays dividends to this day, since I always have a sense of what's in the food I eat.
Between thinking Cocoa Puffs were grains and realizing protein powders were not very clean, I ballooned to a max weight of 210 pounds of bloated muscle. Without lifting weights my weight would be around 160 to 170 pounds. With clean eating and strength training I hover around 185 pounds. 210 pounds without eating much fat required a monstrous injection of heavily processed high-carb foods, protein powders, and creatine. I felt strong as an ox and as disgusting as vomit.
I changed by defining a my new goal. I didn't want to be that big or strong anymore. I wanted to be healthy. I read Real Food by Nina Planck and learned that very healthy indigenous groups eat fat in much higher quantities than recommended in the US. Suddenly, I felt full. I broke out of the vicious cycle of hunger cravings every three hours. Processed carbs are convenient, but reducing them stabilized my glucose levels and allowed me to step off the 'Energy Rollercoaster'. Eating more fat cleared a path for me to eat clean.
As I detoxed from my heavy processed food lifestyle I read Food Rules by Michael Pollan. This gave me a list of actionable tips for how to eat clean and eat well for the rest of my life. This wasn't the end of my journey. I transitioned from eating very dirty to mostly clean over five years. I still learn and experiment every day. Before my shopping cart was filled with Coke, White Bread, Fat-Free Dairy, Cheese, and Protein. Now my shopping cart has Bananas, Spinach, Almond Butter, and High-Quality Protein with Fat.
If eating cleaner sounds appealing, watch for a post with some actionable small habits you can take to start your transition. For now here's my personal my Top Ten tips from Food Rules.
Read the habit inspired by this story on how you can start eating clean here.

In general, praising talents can lead to two problems. First, it can make us cling to the idea of being talented. We want to be aware of how talented we are all the time, and we become afraid of doing anything that might make us think negatively about ourselves. We might even avoid challenging situations. But when we don't challenge ourselves, we don't grow.
It isn't surprising that we're under the illusion that we own our time. People tend to talk about the future as if it's a physical thing, something promised to us. Adults tell young people that what they're doing in the present is simply preparation for an outstanding future career. Studying helps them get into the right university, volunteer work looks good on a résumé, and extracurricular activities will show a future employer that they're well-rounded.
Evolutionary theory is based on three principles: variation, selection by consequences, and retention. Practitioners can apply these principles to help young people develop their full potential.
In their book, The Thriving Adolescent: Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Positive Psychology to Help Teens Manage Emotions, Achieve Goals, and Build Connection, Louise Hayes, PhD, and Joseph Ciarrochi, PhD, provide many metaphors and different ways to help young people use their model, DNA-V (Discoverer Noticer Advisor – Values), to gain psychological flexibility in their lives.

2021+ Nissan Ariya News
Nissan's Future EVs to Focus on Interior Design
Sponsored Editorial Content
Nissan hasn't committed to a particular electric car exterior design strategy, but one hallmark of the Japanese brand's future EVs will be spacious interiors.
The brand's executive design director, Satoru Tai, told Automotive News in a Saturday report that a "spaciousness" will be present thanks to electric cars' layouts. He followed up his comments by saying, "It's not about exterior styling."
Tai believes exterior design won't be the major challenge for electric cars since the style can adapt to different segments. But the interior will be a real place for designers to shine. Without an engine at the front, engineers and designers can spread out the cockpit, and without a transmission tunnel, the floor can lay totally flat.
As for instrumentation, less is more, said Tai.
"We want to create an EV-unique expression," he said.
SEE ALSO: Nissan to Slowly Stop Selling Diesel Cars in Europe
The executive spoke of simple dashboards and bountiful space, and no doubt does his love for roomy commercial vehicles inspire his comments. According to the report, Tai owns a Caravan minivan. However, designers haven't agreed on how exactly to accomplish the overall interior ethos.
One potential avenue is the Nissan IMx Concept concept. The cabin features an incredibly airy feel with a large window blending into a woodgrain dashboard. As Tai described, the floor is completely flat with plenty of space for passengers.
We'll certainly see how the executive's comments translate to production. Nissan has plans for eight new electric cars in the near future, and the Japanese brand hopes to sell one million electrified cars by 2023.

New Thoughts. New Actions. New View.
A DAY WITH TDR - NEW THOUGHTS. NEW ACTIONS. NEW VIEW.
Are you ready to have a real conversation, address real issues, and get real results? The truth is... there is no one way to do anything. However, when you have the opportunity to connect with solid, solution driven and success minded individuals, it is important that you not only show up and make the sacrifice to get there, but it is equally as important that you ADD YOUR VOICE.
This is so important to me because for 2016, we have been enforcing the intentional message of A NEW VIEW for 2016!
A new view requires that we get honest on a new level. We must look at ourselves and ask where we can improve?
We must look at our goals and ask, where can I improve or how can I use my wisdom and mistakes to propel forward?
We must assess the people and environment around us and honestly ask if we are in a healthy place to thrive and what changes may be needed to support our ultimate growth.
Many times we are too hard on ourselves but then there are times when we are ready to get serious, streamline, tap into the root of an issue and LEVEL UP. Yes!!!! Level up, meaning reach and execute towards a greater vision and a deeper level of potential and truth. I have been in business for several years now and I never imagined that getting laid off would catapult me into my love for entrepreneurship full time. It was overwhelming and scary but it was exciting too. There were days when I felt like I was on 2,000 and could conquer the world. Then there were days that I felt alone, fragile and vulnerable. I was uncertain of how things would fall into place but I was never uncertain of the talents and skills that I had worked too hard to learn in my past corporate career in Federated Buying Offices or at the University of Georgia.

A New View. New Actions. New Results. I look forward to locking arms with you just as you are. On that note, I 'll leave you with the quote that blessed me most as I embarked into 2016.
" You don't need to be perfect to inspire others. Let people get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections."


I didn't post a weekly pregnancy update yesterday because… well… I HAD A REALLY BAD DAY! Then I fell asleep on the couch at 8:30, because I'm exhausted. I can't sleep, and my mind races all night long, and I have weird dreams – about yelling at pizza people because they didn't bring the pizza to the right address. And I wake up all pissed off and worked up. I'm about to go out of my mind! I'm going to give it the weekend and if I'm still having trouble sleeping then I'm going to call the doctor and figure out what I can possibly do.
Wednesday was a bad day. Thursday was better but not great. I was feeling really nauseous yesterday, which only furthers my anger and bitter feelings. I guess I can expect a bit of up and down, and Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday I felt so good… so positive. I felt like this baby could make it.
I am currently 20 weeks pregnant, which should be a huge milestone, as its technically halfway as a normal pregnancy is 40 weeks! Instead of thinking about being halfway, I'm stuck thinking about how much longer we can make it. It's been 1 week since the dreaded ultrasound. Two weeks from today we have another Level II ultrasound to check on the baby and get a status - better, worse, the same. I want to get to that day desperately, while at the same time I am terrified of the very thing I am counting down to. I am thinking of making one of those paper chains that little kids use to count down to school ending, or vacation, or something fun.
I have a 24 hour urine test and Preeclampsia blood work on Sunday/Monday to baseline my numbers. I have a doctor's appointment in a week with my regular OB GYN. It will be my last appointment with him until the specialist takes over 100% of my care.
Tomorrow is my husband's birthday. I feel bad he has to spend his birthday with all this hanging over his head.
What a roller coaster. Unisom is on the list of "over-the-counter drugs considered safe for common discomforts" that I got from my doctor. Maybe look into that?
Praying for you and your family here in East Tennessee.
You are doing the best you can at this hard time. I'm glad you decided to keep blogging, and I hope you find it helpful in dealing with your feelings about the enormous difficulties you are facing! The lack of sleep makes everything worse. I hope you can find a solution to that problem.
