2021 April Heartbeat
The Philip Hayden Foundation Board of Directors is made up of 12 members from many different walks of life, who have a common compassion for vulnerable orphaned children from around the world. Our board members together have adopted 15 children – they're dedicated to our mission of providing love, medical care, therapy and education with compassion to at-risk orphans and children with disabilities.
Meet the 2021 Board of Directors
Tim & Pam Baker are our founders and have served on the PHF Board since 1996. They have seven children, four of whom were adopted from China. The Bakers have lived in China since 1988, helping orphaned children with disabilities for nearly 30 years. They volunteered in China's state-run orphanages in the early 1990s and established Philip Hayden Foundation (PHF) in 1995. Their foster home for orphans with disabilities – called Langfang Children's Village (LCV) – operated from 1999-2008. Shepherd's Field Children's Village (SFCV) started in 2006. Their family has grown to include three sons-in-law, one daughter-in-law and four beautiful grandchildren.
Charlie Bronaugh is Executive Vice President of California Bank & Trust in Los Angeles, and has more than 30 years of experience in banking and finance. He currently holds the position of Commercial Banking Manager. He earned a degree in Finance from the University of Texas at Tyler. Charlie is married to his childhood sweetheart, Vickie who also serves on the Board.
Vickie Bronaugh is an award-winning producer, director and writer. She's worked extensively in the television and film industry, and has written and directed two award-winning short films. Vickie also has more than 30 commercials to her credit.
The Bronaughs have two beautiful daughters, both adopted from China. They met the Bakers in 1998 after their first adoption, and there was an instant connection between the families, who shared a common passion for the orphaned children of China. Since that first meeting, Charlie and Vickie have supported PHF through prayer, giving and trips to Langfang Children's Village and Shepherd's Field.
Daniel Padden is the Senior Partner at the CPA firm, Padden Cooper CPAs in Medford, N.J. He has more than 30 years of experience in public accounting, and earned a degree in Accounting from Grove City College in Grove City, Penn. Part of his practice is dedicated to helping nonprofits in the U.S. and abroad with their accounting and tax needs. Dan and his wife Deb have seven children, three of whom were adopted from China – in fact, their youngest son, Eli was adopted from Shepherd's Field. Deb has been a volunteer as well, helping to guide interested families across the sometimes-complicated process of adoption. Through the Padden's past work of hosting needy orphans from the Tianjin orphanage who needed medical care, Dan and Deb were introduced to Shepherd's Field.
Charles Hill was born and raised in Southern California. He has 30 years of experience working with young people both professionally and personally. As a youth pastor he has taken several teams on short-term humanitarian service trips abroad. In the summer of 2011, he took a team to Shepherd's Field to volunteer and fell in love with the children as well as the organization because of the selfless work. During this trip he and his wife Gretchen also met Henry at Shepherd's Field whom they adopted two years later. Charles and Gretchen also have two biological children. Passionate about advocating for orphans, Charles is excited to personally be a part of that awareness.
Kim Kramer is a native of San Diego, Calif., and has degrees from Cal State Fullerton and Talbot Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Chrissy have made Austin, Texas, their home since 1991 where they raised two children. Kim is an ordained pastor and has served churches for more than 30 years in California, Minnesota and Texas. He first met Tim Baker one Sunday morning at his church in Austin, and they became fast friends. He paid a visit to Shepherd's Field shortly thereafter. Kim returned to China three more times over the years, and continues to be an enthusiastic supporter. In his spare time, he plays guitar, enjoys the outdoors and roots for the Boston Red Sox.
Randy & Julie Watson have two now teenage sons adopted from China. They started volunteering at PHF when they lived in China in the early 2000's. After their return to the US, they sponsored and led several volunteer trips to PHF from their home church in Cincinnati, OH. They continue to raise up prayer and financial supporters for PHF. Randy is a PhD chemist who recently retired after a 30-year R&D career with an international consumer goods company. He is now part-time pastor at Branches Church in Loveland, OH, Market Development Director with a healthcare startup, and consults with non-profit leaders. Julie works with Coalition of Care, a local non-profit that raises up and enables local churches to care for at risk children and families.
Tommy Thompson is an entrepreneur who runs his own heating and cooling business. Laura Thompson, also serving on the board, is an elementary school teacher. After getting married in 2009, Laura and Tommy moved to China to teach English. While there, they met Tim Baker and instantly connected with him and the work at Shepherd's Field. Having fallen in love with the Chinese people, their culture, and PHF's vision to help orphans, the Thompsons dreamed of returning after their move home in 2010. In 2016, the door opened and they moved to Shepherd's Field to do child advocacy work, education, maintenance and campus oversight work. The Thompsons have three young daughters, one of which is adopted from Shepherd's Field. They now call Denver home, but have a heart for the Chinese people and hope they can return someday.
Andy Ackermann is a tax partner with a CPA firm in Indianapolis, IN. Andy began working with PHF in 2005 after hearing Tim Baker tell the story of PHF. After hearing about Levi and all the other children in China, he felt led by God to offer his accounting talents to PHF. Andy and his wife, Rebecca, traveled to China to volunteer at SFCV. While there, they met a little boy, Chi, that they adopted in 2007. Andy truly believes it has been a great honor to be a part of such a wonderful organization that has impacted so many lives around the world. In addition to their son Chi, Andy and Rebecca have a son, Noah, who was adopted from Cambodia, and two daughters, Malia and Saige.
Katy's Occupation? Therapy!
In honor of Occupational Therapist Month, we'd like to highlight our very own Katy Everhart, MOT. Katy joined our Shepherd's Field family when she and her husband Dustin moved to our campus in 2018. Katy served as the Occupational Therapist (OT) for our Bright Stars Therapy Program, and was an amazing addition.
What is an Occupation?
An occupation is what you spend time doing, either for pleasure or because it needs to be done. In many respects, the primary occupation of a child is play! The focus of a pediatric OT is to help a child learn or develop skills needed for everyday living – from eating and moving safely, to self-care, to regulating emotions, to social skills. OTs really work hard to make learning fun, though!
Through her time with us, Katy changed many lives for the better. She trained orphanage staff not only here, but across China in other orphanages, and we're very grateful to her. Thank you, Katy, for your amazing work as an Occupational Therapist and as a part of our family.
April is Autism Acceptance Month
Over the past ten years there has been increased awareness about Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes ASD this way. "ASD is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. There is often nothing about how people with ASD look that sets them apart from other people, but people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less." The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) has even more information here.
Acceptance = love and value
So why acceptance and not awareness? Do you know someone who is autistic? Most people do, and also have an idea about what it is – but their idea can be wrong. Often, awareness emphasizes our differences while acceptance emphasizes our commonalities. Sometimes awareness makes it harder for those who are autistic. Acceptance is more about seeing the whole person and embracing who they are. This concept of acceptance – not tolerance – is part of our human connection, a piece of our value to others. At Philip Hayden Foundation, we want every orphan to be loved and valued.
Many orphans on the China Waiting Child list are listed as autistic. But that can mean many different things, from non-verbal to gifted. Learn about autism by asking questions, particularly of those with first-hand experience. Maybe your family will be a forever family for a waiting child! Check out our Facebook and Instagram posts in April for other great resources!
Adoption Creates a Beautiful Family
As a family, we knew early on that we were being called to adopt, and began that process in the U.S. Through that journey, God led us to adopt a baby boy with Down syndrome, who opened our hearts and minds to the needs of little ones with special needs. Then God widened the door to include China, where we knew there were many more babies with Down syndrome who needed Forever Families. As we began praying through the decision to begin an international adoption, a friend we'd met through the adoption community created an advocacy post on social media with the picture of Jordy Song Yinglin, the cutest little fella. We knew then that he was our son and that we would be heading to China to bring Cody home.
During the months we were completing paperwork, we found out that he was living at Shepherd's Field Children's Village (SFCV). We were relieved and excited to find out that he was there, especially as we learned more about the programs and therapies they were providing to the orphans in their care. And eagerly followed their Facebook page to catch glimpses of our Cody participating in the various activities they held for the kids. We loved seeing the monthly birthday parties and Children's Day celebrations, and we also saw pictures of him working with the therapists who taught him to walk. Seeing so many smiles helped ease the heartache of waiting on the stacks of paperwork to be approved.
Bright Stars Therapy gives Cody a Head Start
When we finished all of our adoption paperwork and completed that last step of getting travel approval, we were excited that it worked out to visit SFCV and meet so many of the caregivers who loved Cody so thoroughly. Seeing them in person felt a lot like meeting celebrities after having followed them online for months. We saw firsthand how well the children were taken care of and loved on through daily care and games and activities. We know that because Cody was cared for at SFCV, he had a head start in learning to adapt to a family and communicate his needs with us. Because he had loving nannies and caregivers, he was better able to connect with us.
Cody has been home for six years, and has made many gains, including an increased vocabulary and knowing when to ask for things he needs. He's the big brother to our son who we adopted as a baby, and we also traveled back to China a couple of years later to bring his other little brother home. The boys share a room and have a blast playing together. Cody has learned to initiate new games with his brothers, and they're all learning more about using their imaginations as they play. He also has five older sisters wrapped around his little finger. He enjoys cuddling with them and talking them into getting him snacks. They adore him.
Adoption is a Journey
Cody is an amazing boy, and we've loved watching him grow and learn new things. While he's changed in many ways over the past six years, he's also found his voice and gained confidence in his own skills. It's amazing how well he fit into our family from the day we met him – he just somehow knew we were meant to be together. While we understand that there was great loss in his past, we're thankful for Cody's time at Shepherd's Field and for the journey that led us to China and to him. Adoption has taught us many things, but the most important one is how to create a beautiful family.

Anthony May Just Steal Your Heart
This sweet boy with the mischievous smile was born in August 2014. You may remember him from being part of our Shepherd's Field Children's Village (SFCV) family! He was born with myelomeningocele/hydrocephalus, and underwent a mass reduction operation in March 2015. He had a VP shunt placement in April 2015 and a hernia repair in May of the same year – 2015 was a very busy year for him!
Anthony is unable to walk, but scoots around quite speedily in his wheelchair. He has a very bubbly personality and can sometimes be a 'troublemaker' in the funniest ways. But really he just wants to play and be your friend. He receives special education onsite in the orphanage school, including art, music and dancing, which he enjoys. On our staff's last visit to his orphanage, Anthony was amazing, flying around in his wheelchair with a huge smile on his face – he even busted a few moves on the dance floor with his wheels. Will you help us find a loving family for Anthony? He'd love to run rings around you!

MAA Introduces Zoey
Madison Adoption Associates (MAA) wants you to meet Zoey, a beautiful four-year-old who is blind in both eyes, and was listed as having some motor delays. Zoey is quiet, but is always smiling and loves being hugged – especially by her main caretaker and teacher. At the time Zoey's file was prepared (March of 2018), she could sit alone and was almost crawling. She could grab toys and food with her hands without a problem, and slept well after a few nighttime cuddles!
As an infant Zoey was making "yiyiyaya" sounds, then failed a hearing screening in her right ear. A majority of her motor delays were typical delays found in blind children who have grown up in orphanages or institutions. We're hoping to have new information soon. In the meantime, will you help us find sweet Zoey a Forever Family? She needs someone who can provide the love and resources needed for her to thrive.
If you or someone you know wants to adopt a child mentioned in this newsletter, please contact us at info@chinaorphans.org. Contact Madison Adoption Associates for more information on adopting Zoey!

The Memphis Grizzlies were competitive through most of 3 Quarters against the defending champions last night, but the Golden State offense went on a 27-8 run late in the 3rd and ultimately beat the Grizzlies 117-101 Monday night.

Mike and Marc continued to struggle scoring for the 2nd straight game, finishing with a combined 17pts.

It was a pleasure dealing with Pat Gordon Contracting. We were extremely satisfied with their work. They were the most reliable contractor I have ever had to deal with. When they told you the exact time and date they would be there, they always showed up. It was a pleasure dealing with Pat and his team on all aspects of the job, their professionalism really shined through. I would recommend them to anybody and I already have done so numerous times.


Vizslas are a very unique dog. Vizslas are extremely loving and affectionate family dogs who want to be with the family, they are people oriented. We call them "velcro dogs" because they want to be with you all the time. Vizslas do best when they are in the house and are a part of the family. The Vizsla is an excellant companion and has a high level of intelligence. Vizslas LOVE to learn! They are clever with problem solving abilities. They love challenges and will thrive in an enriched family environment. Once you have had a Vizsla there will never be another dog for you. Vizsla's are one of a kind.
Vizsla's are sporting dogs and love exercise. The amount of exercise depends on the age and size of your puppy. They are quite adaptable and will adjust to your routine, BUT our guarantee requires no strenous running or jumping until the puppy is 2 years of age. Because Vizsla puppies are still growing and their bones are developing, do not expect your vizsla puppy to walk for miles! You can do serious damage to a vizsla puppy by pushing beyond what they are capable of doing. Take into consideration the age and overall condition of your Vizsla before undertaking a serious exercise program.
When training your Vizsla puppy or adult use firm, clear and consistent disciple. Out of all the sporting breeds, the Vizsla is one of the softer dogs. They do not do well with harsh training methods. To avoid confusing your new family member, everyone should use the same words to achieve the desired results. Consistency is a must in training your new vizsla puppy. Vizslas are eager to please if they understand what you want them to do.
The Vizsla wash and wear coat calls for little more than a monthly bath. You can easily groom a Vizsla at home because of the short smooth coat and by using a hounds mitt to polish it weekly. A good mink oil is highly recommened to keep the shine in the coat. The toenails have to be cut back and ears have to be kept clean from debris. Bathing too often can be detrimental to their skin and coat. They do not have an unpleasant odor. All dogs shed, but the Vizsla's really do not shed much.
With it's great nose stamina and affection for people the Vizsla is growing in popularity for search and rescue teams and as giude dogs for the sight and hearing impaired.
As with other sporting and hunting breeds, Vizsla breeders are concerned about maintaining the breed standard. Most breeders only sell on limited registrations to avoid over breeding. If you are serious about having a show puppy and are ready to put in the time, training and financial responsibility that goes along with that, please let us know right away so we can pick out a puppy for you. Otherwise your new family member will be sold on a limited registration with the American Kennel Club. This means they will never be allowed to be bred or shown in confirmation events. You can still show them in agility, obedience and hunting competitions.
1. Thou shalt love thy master better than thyself.
2. Thou shalt be joyfully.
3. Thou shalt bite neither man nor dog without just cause.
"My will not thine be done."

Sharing a common history. Making a profound impact in Billings and around the world.
Naomi Yakowich, BCCHS Alum, Class of 2010
This month we caught up with Naomi Yakawich, BCCHS alum from the class of 2010. Naomi works as a freelance writer, and is passionate about making the world a better place. Naomi strives to work with companies and nonprofits who she feels have "moral and innovative practices [that seek to] build a peaceful world." Devoted to working toward world peace, she has mindfully chosen a path where she feels she can contribute.
After graduation she chose to stay local for her college education and headed up to MSU Billings. There she earned a degree in Elementary Education. During her time there she dove into volunteering for the Global Peace Foundation (GPF). GPF is a nonprofit whose vision is "One Family under God." Their mission is to "support social cohesion and peacebuilding, promote moral and innovative leadership, empower families and build models of development." After volunteering for the foundation throughout college, GPF offered her a job upon graduation in Seattle. Naomi packed up her life here in Montana, and went to work for their Washington state branch as a Program Manager and Writer. At GPF she was able to organize and develop programs for young professionals aiming at encouraging and building them into compassionate community leaders.
While at GPF, she also worked as a writer for their USA division. It was here that she realized her passion was for writing; and so, she decided to take a leap of faith and pursue writing on a full-time basis. With Global Peace Foundation as one of her clients she is able to continue to work with the organization she feels makes a difference. She states her focus and passion best, "In my work as a freelance writer, my hope is to create pieces that move peoples' hearts, but more importantly, move their legs and arms and their whole body to take action. I want people to hear about all the amazing work going on around the world to advance world peace and want to be a part of it, to take action right now."
We have no doubt her passion and voice will help to move people in a direction of compassion and positive action. To read some of her work, click the links below.

Winter time is here, and now is the time to take all the extra precautions to keep your pets safe in the cold weather. If your pets stay indoors there is less things to worry about then if you have outdoor pets. Indoor animals can keep warm and dry, but if your pets are outdoors they run the risk of serious illness or even death caused by the cold. Even if you have a dog house, that may not be enough protection against harsh winds and cold. Make sure the doorway is covered or closed, and be sure to have a lot of warm blankets. Older pets should never be left outside in cold climates, and if your pet does not have a thick coat, then it will not do well in extreme cold. Here are some things to watch out for in the winter months.
Metal bowls – Anything metal that you keep food or water in can become a great hazard to pets outside in the cold. Pets tongues can get stuck to the cold metal and injure themselves by trying to pull away or run. As a solution, switch to plastic or ceramic bowls until the temperature gets warmer again.
Ice salt – Chemicals and salt that are used to melt the winter snow can be toxic to your dogs or cats. They can pick it up on their paws and lick off the salt, causing upset stomach, or other sickness. Be sure to wash your pet's paws in warm water after walks or extended periods outside.
Car engines – Before you start up your car, always check under the car to be sure no animals have crawled up into the engine. Cats and raccoons are drawn to the heat of your car, and you may find one cuddled up beneath the car engine to keep out of the harsh weather. If you start the car before checking, it could cause the animal serious injury or death. To avoid damage to them and your car, bang on the hood or honk your horn to scare any animals away.
Dehydration – If your cat or dog spends a lot of time outside you'll need to increase the amount of food and water you give them, because keeping warm requires a large amount of energy. Try a heated bowl to prevent the water from freezing. Provide them with extra food because of the calories they burn generating heat.
Lost pets – More pets are reported lost in the winter months than in any other season. This is due to the fact that they lose track of the scent of home, because of snow and sleet. This causes them to become disoriented and run away. Be sure to keep your dogs on a leash at all times during walks. This is also a good practice if you live near water. An animal may run over to a pond, and fall through the ice. During these cold months, keep a close eye on your pets.
Frostbite – No matter how long your pet is exposed to temperatures below zero, they can still get frostbite. Most cases are seen in the feet, nose or ears. Check to see if skin looks grey or white and may be peeling. The best way to prevent it is to remove any snow or ice from their fur and paws right away.
The winter months can be harsh not only on us, but also on our pets, so take some extra time to ensure the best environment for them in the cold weather. If you do, you and your pets can enjoy the season a little better.

Assignment On Life Of Pi Thesis
In the novel Life of Pi, Yann Martel uses indirect characterization to portray how the harshest elements can bring out the most primal instincts in man, and the unexpected cooperation in the most primal of animals. This is used to symbolize the close similarities in the behavior of man and animal, although seemingly worlds apart at first glace. It is a constant switch between Pi's thoughts and Pi's actions that is needed to extend this characterization to the fullest. Martel does this by showing Pi's religious and peaceful vegetarian personality in the beginning of the novel; one that wouldn't even drink milk because it came from an animal. Yet when the time comes to survive he shows m ...view middle of the document...
It was then that his personality begun to change. His animal instincts had begun to show when he killed his first fish with his bare hands and ate it raw; a feat he would not have dared to do prior in his lifetime even if the fish had been cooked. This instinct had also created safety from Richard Parker. Richard Parker could have easily killed Pi at any time, but Pi began to show a superiority that kept the tiger from attacking. It was superiority stronger than that of physical characteristics. In the tiger's mind, Pi was the alpha male of the boat, regardless of Pi's size. This was the key element in both of their survivals. Without the constant will to find enough food for both himself and the tiger in fear that the tiger would grow desperate and eat him out of hunger, and the dominance Pi wielded that kept Richard Parker from attacking his only food source, neither would have survived.Nature often plays a key role in any novel dealing with survival. Any method of survival is in adaptation to nature. Without adaptation, there is no survival, and without nature, there is no adaptation. It is the key element in that which is living. However, it is the element of nature that made Pi and the tiger's struggle to survive even more of a challenge. Bengal tigers as well as young boys do not normally live out in the middle of the ocean, so it is likely that both would hav...

Dying To Tell
Imprint: Corgi
Lance Bradley, idling his life away in Somerset, suddenly receives a call for help from the eccentric sister of his old friend Rupert Alder. Rupe appears to have vanished without trace. Reluctantly, Lance goes to London where he discovers that Rupe's employers want him tried for fraud. A Japanese businessman claims he has stolen a document of huge importance. And Rupe has hired a private detective to try and trace an American called Townley, who was involved in a mysterious death thirty years before.
No sooner has Lance decided that whatever Rupe was up to is far too risky to get involved in, than he finds that he already is involved. And the only way out is to get in deeper still. Where is Rupe? What is the document he has stolen? Who is Townley? And could the seemingly unexplainable events of the past hold the key to a secret more shocking than Lance Bradley could ever have imagined?

Texas Rangers release Bartolo Colon to seek new Triple-A deal
Written By Gabe Fernandez
(Getty Images) https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/sporting_news/a9/1b/bartolo-colon-twins-getty-ftr-080417_1beeqhuob8ubh1dnzf189gatcm.jpg?t=-1335262427&w=500&quality=80
The Rangers have released Bartolo Colon to discuss new contract terms with the veteran pitcher, according to TR Sullivan of MLB.com.
The Rangers want to re-sign the 44-year-old to play in Triple-A, the report said. Colon has also maintained contact with the team to further these discussions.
MORE: Ranking the best bullpens in baseball
After 28 combined starts between the Braves and Twins last season, Colon signed a minor league contract in February that included an invitation to spring training. In his five spring training starts, he recorded a 3.00 ERA and 10 strikeouts across 18 innings.
Colon has become somewhat of a journeyman recently, playing with seven teams over the past 10 years. At his age, his main focus has been to pass Dennis Martinez for most wins in MLB history for a Latino pitcher. Colon is at 240, Martinez finished with 245.
The Dominican was hoping to enter his 21st season in 2018. He has accumulated over 3,300 big-league innings, four All-Star appearances and a 2005 AL Cy Young award in his career so far.

This is a wonderfully savoury dish that is as much at home for a summery lunch as for a cold winter's day. For a quicker version, you can buy some ready-made black olive tapenade instead of making your own.
The lentils with dried tomatoes are a great sidedish, and you might like to consider serving a little plain yoghurt alongside.
Put all the ingredients except the lamb and wine in a food processor and whiz until you have a rough paste. Thin with the olive oil as necessary - you are after a consistency that you could spread on toast, but not pour.
Heat a pan with a little olive oil over medium/high heat. Remove excess fat from the lamb and cut into 6 roughly equal sized pieces. Brown the lamb pieces briefly and remove to a deep ovenproof dish. Deglaze the pan with the wine and add to the lamb. Tip in the black olive paste as well and mix thoroughly. Lay a piece of greaseproof paper over the top, then put a lid on the dish (or cover tightly with foil).
Stick the dish in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 170°C. Roast for 3-4 hours until the lamb is meltingly tender. It should be almost falling apart when you stick the tines of a fork into it.
Lift the pieces of meat out carefully onto a serving dish. The liquid and bits left behind are deeply flavoursome, so you want to do something with them. I usually tip them into the lentils that I serve alongside, but you could also sieve the mixture and make a sauce, or just spoon it over the lamb as it is.


Last night I had an experience that was really powerful in understanding myself and the process of letting go. You see, my series of posts, the "Get Unstuck Principles," are all based on personal experience. I am writing from my own life's experiences as I do in leading my clients. I want to have integrity with you, my reader, by saying my truth. So it is personal, and quite emotional at times, when I share the following with you. The one admonition I get over and over again by my friends and colleagues (and the closer the friend the harder the language!) that I have to learn to let go of things.
There are times when my head is like a dollar bill wind chamber. I am referring to those phone booth looking things at carnivals, where a person enters, and is told he or she can have all the cash that can be caught while the money is blown like a tornado around the booth. My mind is like that chamber at times and thoughts like the dollar bills. I get stuck in a vicious circle, trying to catch as many of the dollar bills, or thoughts/problems, at once so I can have control. It never works. Instead, I am never present in the moment. I miss opportunities to connect with friends, to laugh, to play, as well as opportunities to move on with something and advance my career, my quality of life.
Last night I did something that worked. The odd thing is that it was a simple action that I teach my clients! To be fair to myself, I was creative last night and with a last minute inspiration tried unique variation this time.
I am a proponent of the personal productivity process called "GTD." You can learn about it at gettingthingsdome.com, or by the classic, Getting Things Done, by David Allen. In GTD, the idea is to be more productive by getting things out of our head, and into a system. Then you follow the system. It has worked famously with several of my clients, and I use it pretty consistently. Every time something comes to mind, I write it down as an action to be performed. When it comes time for the next "to do" I do what I can in 2 minutes or less and move on. Projects are collections of tasks that require more than one action to complete. The actions in a project are no different from other actions. Performing an action attached to a project brings the project closer to conclusion. I dedicate time towards projects because they are usually connected to revenue (business). Therefore, some actions are delegated to projects.
Last night I sat down, overwhelmed and "stuck" in a pattern of overthinking and worrying. I took control and told myself that I was going to learn to let go of these things that are out of my control, and deal with them so that I can sleep in peace. So I decided to write them down as simple actions. But the epiphany came afterwards. I incorporated the actions into my system by creating a project labelled, "Contain Issues." Using the system I use everyday, I created a project that is an action statement and put those worries in it as actions. As soon as I did that all the stress in my body started to leave my body. Within minutes I was at peace. And I slept like a baby. Not once did I wake up in the night worrying about paying taxes, replacing catalytic converters, taking a weekend trip.
Now I am committed to dealing with these issues, but when I can deal with them. No longer are they in my head controlling me. I successfully used my experience to create a place for them in my system. I took action and created a container for my worries outside of myself. I am accountable to handle the issues but because they are now in my system, I can deal with them at the appropriate time. My system can do the spinning for me and I can now live my life more fully and with awareness.


From what I have observed in my 25 years of practice, is that there are many conditions in which symptoms are being lump-summed and labeled; yet are nothing more than a list of imbalance that have occurred in a once healthy person because of lack of awareness, knowledge, understanding, and care to the delicate individual.
Whether treating fibromyalgia, CFS, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, PMS, pre-menstrual syndrome or any other condition; care and attention must be placed on the whole individual rather than spot treating the symptoms of the disease entity.
All individuals are the same in terms of structure and function, but each of us are so unique in our cellular and genetic makeup, out past conditioning, the environment in which we grew up, our life experiences, our nutritional status, lifestyle, etc and these circumstances must be taken into consideration when treating individuals; rather than treating a "disease" with a pill.
When treating an individual, I like to begin by establishing their willingness. Is the person ready and willing? Will he or she be an active player and teammate in the process of healing which must be embarked on? Deep healing on all levels is a project, not a quick fix. Many people want their doctor to "fix" them. Healing is a journey to be under taken with intention, care, unconditional love, openness and willingness on many levels.
Secondly, care is given to address nutritional issues, the digestive system, the immune system, circulatory system, respiratory, hormonal, as well the emotional and structural aspects of the individual. Physical medicine, acupuncture, vitamin/mineral/enzyme, herbal and homeopathic medicine, or any other substance found in nature might be used on a case specific basis depending upon what is necessary to bring balance and homeostasis back to the individual, who somewhere along the line, fell off the track.
As healing begins to occur from the inside on so many levels, symptoms rapidly fall away and true health begins to emerge. It is a team effort between the patient and the doctor, and the journey is most magical and magnificent once the commitment to healing is made.


Sure, using Google Ad Words to try to boost your website hits on popular search engines is an option when you are trying to increase your company's exposure. But it's sometimes difficult to get the right exposure without breaking the bank, especially when you are also utilizing other forms of advertising. In a perfect world, there would be a way to synch your efforts together for maximum impact. Well, the founders of Advocado put their heads, and their technology, together and came up with the perfect solution.
Knowing that television advertising drives search activity, they patented a technology that perfectly times digital and social advertising to be in synch with your broadcast ads. They monitor TV programming in most markets in real-time in order to trigger and optimize corresponding digital campaigns by dynamically adjusting online bids. So as your target audience is watching TV in a local market and your commercial airs, your bids are optimized during that timeframe to put you at the top of digital searches. They then use the data from the platform to provide insights into the media behavior of today's consumer.
If you're like us, you probably are wondering how all of this works. Upon detection of the airing of your TV commercial, Advocado's algorithm will immediately optimize digital bids to ensure online presence at Micro-Moments, leading to increased click-through rates. The optimization lasts for the duration of the commercial plus another 90 seconds. This gives you a distinct advantage with the ability to more effectively and efficiently utilize your advertising dollars with maximum benefit. During their original pilot of the technology, they documented a 98% increase in click-thru rates in just a three week period. They realize that when you get local, you have the ability to really focus.
There is so much that we love about this company (the first of which being their cool logo). We love the technology and can see the many benefits for small and mid-sized companies to grow their business, as well as give an edge to larger companies. Of course, we also love that this technology was originally developed for toys. What an amazing way to think outside of the box and re-engineer an existing technology for a great new purpose.
Advocado is currently in 210 local markets and on 185 cable channels. As they expand their business, their goal is to become the gold standard for this type of social and digital optimization. After watching their complete interview, be sure to visit their website for more information.

Exceptional People, Extraordinary Care! – Atlantic Shores Retirement Community
March 20, 2019 Exceptional People, Extraordinary Care!
Our exceptional family of employees is just another reason our residents love to call Atlantic Shores home. A special bond exists between our team and our residents, which is especially evident in some of our long-term caregiving staff, some of whom have worked here almost two decades.
Dara Wilson has been with us more than 16 years and started working at Atlantic Shores as a dietary aide for our Seaside Health Center while she was still in high school. She quickly moved into the dietary supervisor role due to her excellent work ethic. After high school, she went on to pursue her career in nursing. After graduating and gaining a year of experience in a hospital setting, Dara returned to Atlantic Shores, where she worked both at Seaside and our Harbourway assisted living facility as an exceptional nurse. Her dedicated level of care has earned her praise from residents, families and staff members alike. Recently, she was promoted to Unit Manager of Harbourway, where she serves as a leader and mentor and works hard to instill her work ethics in her staff.
Valerie Holden is another outstanding long-term employee. Valerie started here as an intern in 1997, shortly after our community opened. She was hired as an Activities Assistant, and immediately showed a passion for her work that was felt by not only residents but also her fellow staff. She was promoted to Activities Director at Seaside while continuing to expand her education — becoming licensed as an Administrator of Assisted Living. In 2007, when Harbourway opened, Valerie took over the responsibility of activities programs for the entire healthcare community. Within six months, it was obvious that she would best serve as Harbourway's Assistant Administrator. In this role, Valerie has helped develop programs that make our assisted living facility the amazing place it is today. She's known for making each person feel special, and for giving residents at any stage of health a purpose in life again.
We're proud that Atlantic Shores is not only an award-winning community but also home to some of the most dedicated caregivers in the industry.

Television programmers face a unique dilemma in this new political era: either they perpetuate liberal Hollywood stereotypes or build a bigger tent

Conventional American TV must adapt to the new political changes, but this hasn't happened yet.

Early on the morning after Meryl Streep unleashed her scolding of Donald Trump at the Golden Globes, and then Trump, aided by his supporters, hit back at "liberal" Hollywood, the fight continued.
CBS came here to the TV Critics Association press tour and introduced The Good Fight, a drama that will, it seems, pivot on themes arising from Trump's election as president. That is, Trump's election symbolizes changes that impact a major character in a very bad way.
The Good Fight is a spinoff series taking characters from The Good Wife forward, and it is mainly about lawyer Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and her descent into a hellish existence. She retires and then learns that she's lost all her retirement savings in a Ponzi scheme. And that's just the start.
The husband-and-wife team of Robert and Michelle King, co-creators of The Good Wife, also created The Good Fight.
And Robert King made it crystal clear at the press tour that the new show is firmly rooted in new, Trump-era America. "The election gives us a spine," King said. " The Good Wife was always a little bit about the Obama years. I think this election gives shape to a new show which is, well, a matter of 'this is all gonna change.' Some people say for the better, some say for the worse."
You could posit that U.S. television offers U.S. society a mirror to itself. Network TV programs, aired within weeks or days of being written, reflect the mood and contemporary tensions with an intuitive accuracy. In a country where every president is a magnetic centre of attention, the president becomes an instant archetype.
The thing us, when you posit that TV is a mirror to society, you're thinking old-school. In this age of what's called "Peak TV," there is a staggering amount of great TV being made and aired across multiple platforms.
The rote explanation for the explosion in quality content is the expanding number of cable channels and the arrival of multiple streaming services. Like the United States itself, politically and culturally, the TV landscape has fragmented. The mass audience, such as it exists, is much smaller.
Free of the restrictions placed on network TV, cable and streaming services deliver sophisticated, adult content. Much of it is challenging and some of it challenges the status quo and tradition. And audiences are drawn to it. While conventional network TV remains a vital force in the arena, and sometimes achieves a remarkable degree of urbanity and finesse, it has diminishing significance.
What the entire TV industry, but especially conventional TV, faces now is stark choices. Does it continue to create content that might arouse the anger and derision of Trump supporters and the right-wing media that helped get Trump elected? Or does it somehow seem to support Trump by celebrating figures like him and reflecting the views of pro-Trump viewers?
Or does it veer toward escapism that cannot be interpreted as having any political context or meaning?
Trump and his supporters have accused the news media and Hollywood of drooling over Barack Obama. And it's certainly true that the content of much television presented here is a snapshot of the Obama years, especially in matters of race.
Go back to the Bill Clinton years and remember that he was perceived as smart but immature, selfish yet sensitive and, most of all, unwilling to fit into the straitjacket of age and responsibility. It's no coincidence that on Seinfeld, Jerry and his callow friends George and Kramer became iconic figures just as Clinton became president. The typical male figure on U.S. television during the Clinton presidency was a boy in a grown-up's body.

But that was in a different TV era. So now what? The various networks and cable channels presented their wares to critics just days before Trump's inauguration. As the producers, execs and actors put on their sales pitches, simultaneously the country was changing the guard – there were cabinet-confirmation hearings in Washington, Obama gave his farewell address, there were salacious, unproven allegations against Trump and, of course, his train-wreck press conference.
The talk at the critics' press tour, an event about entertainment content, was Trump and then more Trump. At times it reached a point of absurdity. CBS introduced a new sitcom, Superior Donuts, set in a doughnut shop (based on the play by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Letts), and the shadow of Trump loomed briefly over the presentation. See, Superior Donuts is a comedy that's vaguely topical, with current-affairs issues turning up in the plot and dialogue.
Judd Hirsch plays a rueful former sixties radical who now owns a doughnut shop in a Chicago neighbourhood; Katey Sagal plays a regular customer who is a cop. Jermaine Fowler is a new black employee. Jokes about cop shootings and racial profiling abound. One critic asked if Trump supporters might be put off by the anti-establishment jokes.
Hirsch bristled: "What comedy would not take advantage of the fact that this is a funny thing that happened to us in this country? Any administration is funny. Everything that's present tense is up for grabs in this country, and that's what makes great comedy. I mean, if you don't do it, it looks like you're hiding. That would be crazy."
Then producer Bob Daily explained: "The pilot was written a year ago, and I think a lot of these issues, sadly, are evergreen, like gun control and racial profiling. So I don't think that the change in the administration will change what we're doing. I think it will just continue on that same path."
This, note you, was part of a discussion about a pretty innocuous CBS sitcom. CBS is not in the business of being political, of disturbing anyone's views. It's the No. 1 network because it offers a lot of harmless escapism.
But in the tense, pre-Trump period everything seems weirdly and intensely political. And here's the key thing – like Superior Donuts, most of what mainstream television will offer this year comes directly out of the Obama era. It will reflect Obama-esque issues and topics. Some might see that as a kind of resistance movement. Especially Trump himself, since he pays close attention to the entertainment world and seems to get a lot of information from TV.
All of this will make American TV at the start of the Trump era especially charged, laden with meaning. Do viewers make their TV choices based on real political events in the world, by political affiliation, or do they even care about political context and subtext? That's the taxing question that television is dealing with. Like the United States itself, the creators and producers are divided. Some see their shows as a kind of resistance to Trumpism. Others see opportunity, and many are very wary of being seen as politically motivated at all. Right now, it's the entire industry that's a mirror to the United States, not just one or two shows.
Robert and Michelle King, The Good Fight people, are proudly liberal, and in fact the pilot episode of The Good Fight was being filmed during the week of the U.S. election, which, they say, shifted its direction. The character Diane, a feminist who had a framed picture of herself with Hillary Clinton in her office, is personally devastated by the outcome and her world crashes, and not simply because she's been left almost broke. She's obliged to return to work but must toil surrounded by men, and confront financial fraud. It's a much more cruel world, this Trump era she experiences.
Said Baranski: "I think the interesting thing is you have a lead character who is in a practical free fall in a similar way to what the country is feeling right now. How do you take the next step up when there's no foundation? Where are we? Where are we morally?"
When speaking of the new season of her hit series Scandal, starring Kerry Washington, Shonda Rhimes told critics here that there was "no correlation" between Scandal and real political events.

At the same time, Shonda Rhimes, whose hit series Scandal is set in Washington and has White House figures as central characters, wants no perceived connection between her show and the new Trump administration.
Rhimes, a very successful black woman who has created multiple hit series, is a fascinating figure in the current entertainment climate on the cusp of the Trump era. She was a Hillary Clinton supporter and produced the short film that introduced Clinton on the night she accepted the Democratic nomination, a film that had endorsements from Obama and Bill Clinton. The most recent season of Scandal featured a presidential election and the tagline was, "The balance of power is about to shift." Yet Rhimes told critics here that there was "no correlation" between Scandal and real political events.
As it happens, the return of Scandal was postponed by ABC to accommodate the Jan. 19 airing of an interview with Trump on a 20/20 special. Asked if this bothered her, Rhimes said, "I'm not going to comment on a conversation I had with my boss, because I like my job." And she described any detected connection between her politics, the show's fiction and Trump to be "irrelevant."
If Rhimes wants her material seen as escapist rather than political, her bosses at ABC are proceeding with two very political productions early in 2017. Coming in February is When We Rise, a four-part miniseries about "the real-life personal and political struggles, setbacks and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. civil-rights movement." This chronicle of the gay-rights movement will be aired over four consecutive nights and stars Rachel Griffiths, Mary-Louise Parker and Guy Pearce.
The creator, Dustin Lance Black, who won an Academy Award for the screenplay of Milk, told the critics, "Loud and clear, I want to say this show is under attack by the alt-right online. We have been targeted. We will get absolutely zero ratings on every Internet platform. Listen, there's a negative idea about this show out there in some small groups. And let's be real. I don't think there's a lot of people who voted for Donald Trump who will love this show."
When We Rise is a four-part miniseries about "the real-life personal and political struggles, setbacks and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. civil-rights movement."
Further, ABC will air the third season of American Crime, its serious-issue showcase drama series. Like the first two, this one is substantial in intent, searing at times in examining toxic issues of race, religion and class. It has a very sharp edge, and is focused on real social issues that have a visceral impact on American society. This edition, which is superbly nuanced and poignant, is about the exploitation of immigrant Mexican workers and about sex trafficking. Creator John Ridley was wary of linking the drama to Trump's politics. The series argues forcefully that migrant workers are exploited by rich businessmen, but he doesn't want this American Crime to be seen as political commentary. "There's an infrastructure in place that unfortunately allows these things to continue. This story would have been told irrespective of who is in the Oval Office. It's the bigger picture."
Fox will air the miniseries Shots Fired as an "event" this spring. The drama is about the explosive aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small Southern town.
According to co-creator Gina Prince-Bythewood, the show's origins lie in a decision by Fox CEO Dana Walden, who went to veteran TV and movie producer Brian Grazer and said she wanted him to develop a project that would "take on the issues Ferguson brought up," referring to the racially charged riots in that suburban Missouri city. The riots erupted after a St. Louis County grand jury, of nine whites and three blacks, decided in November, 2014, not to indict a police officer in connection with the shooting of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man.
Grazer enlisted Prince-Bythewood, and Grazer says the point of the series is "to do an autopsy of a town like Ferguson." The show is forceful in asserting that white politicians simply fail to understand the lives of black citizens and turn a blind eye to racism from police and other authorities. Prince-Bythewood has said previously that she was inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement while working on the show.
At a presentation of the series, actor Richard Dreyfuss, who stars in it, said, "This is probably the most current show you'll ever see. This is now. This is America." What was striking, however, was a shift away from the creators emphasizing racially charged political commentary in the series. Prince-Bythewood kept telling the TV critics that the series is entertaining as well as serious. "The mystery element is highly important," she said. "And we knew that we wanted to create a great narrative that would, ideally, keep the audience at the edge of their seats. We had a creed for the show, which is to get the audience to the edge of their seats and, while they're leaning forward, hit them with the truth. It's a whodunit and a whydunit."
That wariness about being observed as Obama-ish in content and intent is palpable here. Not everyone is prepared to be as blunt as Robert and Michelle King about their politics and where their show stands as a commentary and disapproval of Trump and what he stands for.
On the cable side of things, though, at least one executive seemed to relish the arrival of the Trump era. Showtime Networks president and CEO David Nevins was asked how a Trump White House would impact any shows he has on the air now or "what you choose to put on the air in the future."
Mainly, it seems, he sees opportunity. HBO has had huge success with John Oliver's weekly political satire and commentary show and Nevins thinks Showtime could go in that direction.
In Homeland, the distrust between the intelligence community and the president-elect on the show is less toxic than the real discord between Trump and U.S. intelligence agencies.
The channel had the highly engaging political-reporting series The Circus airing almost every week during the long U.S.-election campaign and Nevins is thinking it could be a permanent fixture. To begin with, there will soon be an extralong episode of The Circus covering the period between election night and the inauguration.
"It has big-time potential besides an election," Nevins said. And he added, "We have a lot of shows that are very political." He noted that the thriller Homeland, returning for a sixth season, reflects the political world, and that the money-based drama Billions is about "power politics in New York City," and is about the nefarious manipulations of an actual billionaire character. Nevins seemed happy to report that "a Donald Trump administration will be filtered through in a lot of ways" on Showtime.
Particular emphasis was given to Homeland by Nevins. "Homeland went into production in August and was written in the months before that. It deals with an incoming administration, a transition period between administrations, and it deals a lot with issues of trust and distrust between the permanent state, the intelligence community and a new president. … So it reflects that."
While Nevins describes Homeland as "prescient," the new season actually features a new female president, not a Trump-like figure. It does, however, also depict a deep distrust between the intelligence community and the president-elect on the show. It's just that the distrust is less toxic than the real discord between Trump and U.S. intelligence agencies. And in terms of reflecting the Trump-era reality, main character Carrie Mathison, played by Claire Danes, tackles the hostility toward Muslim Americans and grapples with the matter of whether they should be considered potential terrorists.
Nevins and Showtime might well be blithe about how the coming Trump era will change television content, but Showtime is a premium cable channel that does not rely on advertising. It would be unaffected by the disdain of Trump supporters and attacks from pro-Trump media.
The reality for conventional American TV is very different. It must adapt. It will adapt. That hasn't happened yet. It seems the creators and producers in that arena did not expect a Trump victory. And if the Trump era is looming ominously for some in the industry, that's because TV is still in Obama mode. There are a lot of Meryl Streep types in U.S. TV, and a lot of nervous people too.
Still, if you ask me, as a critic who has been on these press tours many times, the nervousness is unnecessary. The cable and streaming services will continue to produce baldly compelling, unalloyed and often unnerving content that might disturb pro-Trump viewers. But it matters little. There is a massive, established audience that doesn't want only escapism. Obama's legacy might be in doubt, politically and socially, but on the best of television, it is safe.

THE Cheltenham November Meeting starts today. Don't be confused. That is now the official name of the three-day mash-up that many regard as the beginning of the "proper" National Hunt season. For 18 years it was The Open Meeting. But more of that later… Today's opening salvo is an appetiser to tomorrow's main course where the BetVictor Gold Cup, the "Mackeson" to those of us of a certain vintage, takes centre stage.
The Greatwood Hurdle, now sponsored by Unibet, is the highlight on Sunday but today's racing is none too shabby. The second run over fences of Finian's Oscar (2.25) is probably the highlight for jumps purists. Hopefully he won't do a Yanworth and hit the deck on his second venture over fences. Finian's Oscar, who won at Chepstow, has to give 8lb to Movewiththetimes and William Henry, which is no mean feat. It's a race to watch rather than risk the shopping money on.
Better punting opportunities exist in the first two races. What Happens Now (12.40) was an impressive course winner last month and should be a tough nut to crack with Derek O'Connor in the saddle, despite an 8lb hike in the ratings, and 7/1 (bet365) looks decent value. Counter Shy (1.15) (best price 9/2) has caught the eye in two novice hurdles and JP McManus likes to have a winner or two at this meeting.
On The Blind Side (3.35) (best price 10/3 Boylesports) made a huge impression on his hurdling debut at Aintree and could have the edge on Vision Des Flos in the Grade Two Ballymore Novices' Hurdle which is always an informative contest.
Cheltenham November Meeting: so what's in a name?
The November Meeting continues tomorrow with the BetVictor Gold Cup the obvious highlight although there is a strong supporting cast. Back to the name change and I still find it bizarre that the Open Meeting name was jettisoned due to apparent confusion with the British Open Golf Championship. I'm not joking… Wanna know more? There is more on the Cheltenham November Meeting name change here.
Back to the racing and Foxtail Hill (2.25) (9/1) looks pretty bombproof in the BetVictor Gold Cup. He loves the course and although he is up 7lb for his October victory Jamie Bargary takes off 3lb. Le Prezien rates a huge danger as he has a serious engine.
Talking of name changes again, the BetVictor.com Handicap Chase over 3m 3f could do with one so it's not confused with the BV Gold Cup. It led to the erroneous declaration of Cloudy Dream for the longer race earlier in the week rather than the 2m 4f feature. This mini-marathon is always a great race to watch. Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up Minella Rocco (1.50) (7/1) carries top weight but if he is to win a Gold Cup then he really has to win this. Saying that, if he can give the weight to Three Faces West and Premier Bond then it will be a mighty performance.
I like KK Lexion (3.00) (7/1) who ran well on his reappearance and would have finished closer if ridden with a bit more restraint. However, the outcome of this depends on which Thomas Campbell turns up!
In tomorrow's Greatwood Hurdle, Jenkins has been all the rage since the defection of Defu Du Seuil earlier in the week and could well be thrown in at the weights. However he is plenty short enough for a horse who was disappointing last season. Elgin (3.30) (14/1) looks a more solid bet after a good win at Ascot and he came up the hill well in the Supreme at the Cheltenham Festival. Hopefully the race won't come too soon after Ascot. The same applies to London Prize, who won the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton last Saturday and is clearly well handicapped.
Prices correct at the time of going to press.
Glad to see you're still blogging. Keep it up!

Climategate scientist breaks his silence
Earth 28 July 2010
By Catherine Brahic
Editorial: End dirty tactics in the climate war
With inquiries into the affair now complete, Phil Jones reflects on his bruising experiences at the centre of the storm
UNTIL late November 2009, Phil Jones was just another successful scientist – director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, UK, and respected by his peers, but hardly a public figure. That changed abruptly when a selection of emails spanning more than a decade were hacked from the CRU and placed on a public server.
The Copenhagen climate negotiations were two weeks away. Within days, the …
