The gentle guitar chords and soothing voices of Sea Glass bring you closer to your inner self, it is the flesh of joyous and melancholic sadness, the chant of the people of a world abandoned by its gods; and yet everyone is holding hands in the face of the prevailing middle-ages' gloominess. What else do you have before the depth of the ocean? Sea Glass.
Turbulent waters and plastic in the sea, "can we do anything for her?" sings Susan James. Then, we have the breeze of little mounts in a great grant stretch of land, fresh of the first autumn chills, the wind chimes and the voices joyously rides ancient stones, adding a little step of content, whistling, adorned of a warm robe, or a simple beach garment. Sea Glass.
Then we travel to the 60s, tapping feet on the grass behind the wooden scene of a local feast, Sea Glass gathers a little crowd of assiduous listeners…'Hey Julianne' and 'Calico Valley' are undulating in a mythological Celtic atmosphere, take us wherever the ghosts of the ancient hail us to. The vocals are harmonious and free, even as the singer urges us to "stand tall"; those who have stood and kept walking will haunt our minds through the whimsical songs of marching, of battles, of hope: Sea Glass. Beautiful lyrics, a fairy tale like themes, and around that fire of old ages we want to sit, and listen while our cheeks become red…A very soothing little album, cozy and warm and hipsedelic too.

De 'N.V. Maatschappij tot Huizenbouw benoorden het IJ' was een bouwmaatschappij die werd opgericht in Amsterdam in 1912. De maatschappij was volgens de statuten een instelling die uitsluitend werkzaam was in het belang van de verbetering van de volkshuisvesting. Daarom werd zij door het Rijk erkend als woningbouwvereniging volgens de Woningwet van 1902. De maatschappij hief zichzelf acht jaar later alweer op, in 1920.

Meeuwenlaan
De Woningwet maakte het voor erkende woningbouwverenigingen mogelijk om overheidssteun te ontvangen. Zij konden een rijksvoorschot krijgen, waarmee arbeiderswoningen konden worden gebouwd. Dit rijksvoorschot moest in 50 jaar worden terugbetaald. Aanvankelijk wilden de initiatiefnemers werken met eigen kapitaal en zelf woningen exploiteren voor hun arbeiders. Deze woningen waren bedoeld voor arbeidersgezinnen die voor hun inkomen afhankelijk waren van werk op de scheepswerven in Amsterdam-Noord.  In de Vogelbuurt in Amsterdam-Noord bouwde de maatschappij in 1912 de eerste 52 woningen en twee winkels op een perceel langs de Lijsterweg, Spreeuwenpark en Meeuwenlaan naar ontwerp van architect Willem Noorlander.

Daarna nam de maatschappij het initiatief om 164 woningen met winkels te bouwen verderop langs de Meeuwenlaan, aan weerszijden van het Ganzenplein.

Eerste Wereldoorlog
Deze woningen waren ontworpen door de architect Herman Walenkamp, die later naam maakte met het ontwerp van de woningen aan het Zaanhof in de Spaarndammerbuurt voor woningbouwvereniging Het Westen. Het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog in 1914 zorgde echter voor veel onzekerheid en economische neergang. In 1918 bleek de toegezegde rijksbijdrage al ontoereikend, doordat de prijzen voor de bouwmaterialen na de wapenstilstand ook nog eens explosief stegen. De beoogde huren moesten daardoor flink verhoogd worden om het project rendabel te houden. In 1920 werd het krediet verhoogd, en eindelijk kon worden begonnen met de bouw. De kandidaat-huurders zagen door de huurstijging echter af van deze woningen. De gemeente leverde nieuwe bewoners, namelijk ambtenaren die in Noord werkten, maar nog geen huis hadden. De maatschappij moest daar genoegen mee nemen om leegstand te voorkomen.

Overdracht aan gemeente
De complexen aan de Lijsterweg, Leeuwerikstraat en Spreeuwenpark van architect Noorlander uit 1912 en de 16 beganegrondwoningen die in 1920 in aanbouw waren, werden door de teleurgestelde directrice Johanna ter Meulen overgedragen aan de gemeente Amsterdam. De gemeente zorgde ervoor dat het hele woningbouwplan aan de Meeuwenlaan tussen Havikslaan en Kievitstraat werd afgebouwd, maar splitste de reeds in aanbouw zijnde woningen daarvoor op in kleinere woningen voor oudere echtparen van wie de kinderen al de deur uit waren. Het beheer en de exploitatie kwamen in handen van de Gemeentelijke Woningdienst Amsterdam. De woningblokken zijn nu gelegen aan de Kievitstraat, Mezenstraat, Ganzenweg, Leeuwerikstraat en Havikslaan. Ze onderscheiden zich van alle andere panden in de Vogelbuurt doordat ze geen rode dakpannen hebben, maar zwarte. Het woonblok Leeuwerikstraat 58-72 was al eerder gebouwd door woningbouwvereniging Eigen Haard en maakt geen deel uit van dit bouwplan.
De eerste woningcomplexen van de Maatschappij uit 1912 verving het Gemeentelijk Woningbedrijf Amsterdam in 1986 door nieuwbouw van sociale huurwoningen op deze plek.

Van gemeente naar Ymere
In 1965 werd de Gemeentelijke Woningdienst omgedoopt in Gemeentelijke Dienst Volkshuisvesting, waar de bouw en het beheer van de gemeentewoningen in handen kwam van het Gemeentelijk Woningbedrijf Amsterdam. Dit dienstonderdeel werd in 1994 geprivatiseerd in de Stichting Het Woningbedrijf Amsterdam. Tussen 2004 en 2014 fuseerde deze stichting met woningcorporaties in Amsterdam, Almere, Haarlem, Haarlemmermeer, Noord-Kennemerland en Weesp tot de huidige Stichting Ymere, waardoor een van de grootste woningcorporaties van Nederland ontstond. Een klein deel van de woningen en bedrijfsruimten worden daardoor tegenwoordig nog verhuurd door deze woningcorporatie. Een groot deel is reeds verkocht aan particulieren.

Today's Guest:
Stephanie Moxley is the owner and founder of Moxley Public Health (MPH) Consulting. Stephanie first began her career in public health 20 years ago as a health educator and program coordinator focused on HIV/STD prevention at the GO GIRL! Program at Bronx AIDS Services in Bronx, New York. After discovering her passion for the field of community public health, she moved to Boston and continued her education and training at Boston University School of Public Health. During graduate school, Stephanie was chosen for the HIV Social and Behavioral Sciences fellowship, worked full-time as a research assistant in a youth alcohol and marijuana study conducting motivational interviewing, was the president of PHAM (Public Health Alliance for Minorities), and completed her internship conducting health education at a rural community in Jamaica. Following graduate school, Stephanie worked on several projects from the local level all the way up to CDC federally funded projects.
Stephanie has committed her career to focus on health promotion, addressing health disparities and inequities, and working to improve the health of both rural and urban communities. Stephanie seeks to understand a problem and finds a solution that is driven by data and evidence-based practices. She is experienced in collecting both qualitative and quantitative data that is efficient and useful, conducting needs assessments to identify both the assets/resources of a community along with their gaps/areas for improvement, and using data to effectively and thoughtfully implement a program with a strong evaluation plan. Additionally, Stephanie seeks to build organizational capacity by training others to conduct various public health skills. Interwoven into Stephanie's work, is her innate ability and love of creating collaborations that improve the health and lives of people in a community.
Stephanie holds a Master of Public Health with a concentration in Social and Behavioral Sciences from Boston University School of Public Health and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Hunter College in New York City.

Because I think that that is such a great number of new public health, one of the workforce if even if you're not going to be like a consultant or have your own company, just to think about what you want to do and listen to other people what they do.

Welcome to PH SPOTlight, a community for you to build your public health career with. Join Us Weekly right here. And I'll be here too, your host Sujani Siva, from PH SPOT.
Hey, Stephanie, welcome to the PH SPOT podcast. And thanks for joining me today.
Hi, Sujani. How are you?
Good. I'm actually very excited about this. Because I think as much as we've already kind of spoken to each other and become friends over this year, I don't think I've ever kind of like heard your journey. So this is quite new for me too.
And maybe I should start a podcast so I can hear your journey.
Yeah. Now this is so good. And like I said, for our listeners, you know, Stephanie and I, we kind of met over the internet and have become good friends, I'd like to say and Stephanie's been helping me out with PH SPOT brainstorming a bunch of great ideas. So it's kind of my honor to really, you know, sit here today and get to hear how you come to where you are today and hear a little bit about your journey and inspire others who may be interested in taking a similar path as you.
And I just want to say same here, Sujani, I'm so happy we're friends. And I look forward to our next mastermind that we're doing and advice you give me and the encouragement. And so-
This is why you need to find yourself some friends in public health who can motivate you and push you. So there's your first piece of motivation for this episode. Okay, Stephanie. So I know a little bit about your background, but I don't think I've ever asked you kind of how you discovered public health and what drew you to this field. So maybe we can start with that.
Yeah, so I'm pausing. So I'm trying to like do the count of how many years you know, like when I went into undergrad over 20 years ago, I definitely did not even know of the field of public health. And so I probably had like 10 different majors in undergrad, a lot of them were sort of health related. And then I moved to New York City, and I finished undergrad there. And I finished end up finishing sociology, I still didn't really know what I wanted to do. But I was applying to jobs, right, as you do after undergrad. And one of the jobs I applied to when in New York City was this agency called Bronx aid services. And they had a new programs starting up for HIV prevention with adolescent females in the South Bronx called Go Girl, and I got that job. So that is what introduced me to public health. It was there that I learned about the field. And then kind of the next step several years later, after working there was to go to graduate school. So I moved from New York City very reluctantly to Boston, where I went to graduate school and got a master's in public health.
So no, that's interesting, because like, you went from a sociology degree and then apply to this role. And I kind of pulled up your LinkedIn here. So I could get the name of your position now called coordinator and health educator. And you know, when I read that title, I'm thinking that's a very public healthy role, where you get nervous at all whether you could actually do that role, given your sociology background, or you didn't really think too much about it and just jumped into it, because I'm asking for some of our listeners who are early in their career and kind of feeling that sense of like, oh, can I do this role? Do I have enough experience? Do I have the skill set? So I'm curious to hear how you approach that?
I mean, first of all, that was a long time ago. So I'm sure I was wildly nervous. Yeah. So whether I could do it. But looking back at it, gosh, just what a wonderful experience. It was, it sort of was fate. You know, I don't know. I mean, I think it was kind of a natural position. For me. I think I really, I think I wanted to do public health. But I just didn't know the verbiage for that.
And so of course, I mean, I was young, and I had so much to learn. And my learning curve was huge, but I think it was a very natural position for me. I don't know, I guess I've never really said this out loud. I guess I almost already knew of the field of public health and health prevention in my heart.
But I didn't know that what it was called.
Yeah, no, that makes sense. So you- you spent two years at Bronx aid services and go on to do your master's in public health for another two years. And then yeah, what happens after that?
So in graduate school, I don't know I did a lot of HIV prevention at that time. That was a much, I guess, hotter public health area. And I as a skill set, I was doing a lot of monitoring and evaluation. mission. And so then I got a position at John Snow Incorporated. I don't think I've ever asked you if you know that firm, it's-
Yeah, yeah, I've seen- I've seen kind of their organization on LinkedIn.
Yeah. So I was just so fortunate to get that job. And I was a consultant, one of their consultants for a consulting firm. And that was such a great experience, because I worked for a firm, but I had my hand in several different projects. So I learned so much, I wasn't the leader on any of those projects, of course, because I was fresh out of graduate school, but I helped in a lot of programs. And so I learned so much. And I was doing at that point, a lot of monitoring and evaluation, which was a great skill set to learn.
What drew you to like John Snow or like a position as a consultant? Was it the organization that you were aiming for? Or was it the actual role as a consultant? Because, you know, once people read the title of today's episode, we're going to talk about how you started your own consulting firm. So yeah, I'm curious whether the consulting interest came first, or was it the organization that came first?
You asked all these questions about things, I haven't thought about it. So again, just luck. It was just such a blessing to get a job there. I don't know. Like, what, I think I knew somebody who knew somebody type of thing. Like my last year of grad school, I don't think I was like, I don't want to work at a consulting firm, you know?
I think I started hearing about John Snow Incorporated. I remember, there was like, three places I was really interested in working at, please do not ask what the name that I forget. But they were all in Boston. But I end up working at John Snow corporate, I don't know, I mean, I needed a job, right? It was great, because I just got, you know, I got a position as one at one of the top places, but I don't remember that I wanted to be a consultant per se. It just kind of was something that I happened into.
Okay. And then you said kind of monitoring and evaluation is this like the I guess we can call it the area of public health that you specialized in. For those listeners who are kind of still trying to figure out what area of public health they want to work in, maybe you could give us a like a quick one on one of what that entails.
So before grad school because of the Go girl program. And then during grad school, I was very program minded probably because of my previous job experience. And then I was a fellow I was the HIV prevention fellow in grad school. And we're looking at programs, we were adapting programs, so evidence based interventions for HIV prevention, and then with programming. So you know, if somebody gives you an amount of money, you have to show that you're doing what you said you were going to do, and whether that program is actually making a difference. And that's what monitoring and evaluation is. So showing what you said you were going to do, and showing whether it's made a difference or not. And that was kind of a, you know, a major part of programming,
And a huge part of public health, right? Whenever you're funded all these programs, you want to be able to show that you did well without money so that you can get funded again. So it's a cycle.
Yeah. And I'm just really thankful for that experience. Because I wouldn't call myself full out monitor like an evaluator to now, but I'm a very evaluate or minded. Does that make sense? And that else and my work across the board.
Yeah. Thanks for that. As we continue through your journey, I guess you work for two years at John Snow.
I worked for more than two years. But yeah.
Okay. Then comes your own consulting firm. And so yeah, take us back to how that all started.
So you know, maybe this will be encouraging because, you know, to sort of the personal side of life, I slowly went out of John Snow and then I honestly started having babies. I don't know to say it and so that was sort of my focus. It was the- I left Jon Snow I think I was pregnant. And I was doing private consulting on the side so I was doing projects you know, I had contracts here and there maybe this is like inappropriate the podcast but I was truly like, I think I was in like active labor and trying to finish up a report and- and with my first baby, and so I have four altogether.
So I did consulting through at least my first few children. Well, they're all- I don't- all of them but all a different always at different levels, but I have to say a little bit at that point. You know, my perfection was definitely like in the backseat. I mean, my focus was having children and all of my, they're all girls, they're all really close together, 14 months apart. So I was just like in the trenches, and so I was doing consulting on the side, but it was not my focus. And so I think my business was an LLC, but I was just kind of keeping my toe in. But I will be honest, it got a little hard when the girls were little, there was definitely a few years where I didn't have a project at all. And I was totally focused on motherhood. And so I kind of I had Moxley public health, it was, you know, already a business, but very part time. And then several years ago, I realized that you know, what, I think I'm ready to take my career as more of a front seat. So that's kind of when I started full time consulting, but not so- Full time is not the the focus, but the focus is that I, I looked at my company, as I was much more serious about it, I got very serious about my entrepreneurship, you know, in my business. And here we are.
I guess, like leading up to that point where you decide to, like, take a more front seat with Moxley public health, you said, you know, there are some years where you didn't have a contract and other years where you're you had maybe like one here and there, like I'm assuming most of those initial or early day contracts. Were all through your network. Is that fair to assume?
Stephanie 11:43
Yes, yes.
Sujani 11:44
And so yeah, I guess for individuals who are in that similar boat where they haven't made consulting their full time focus yet and are still kind of dipping their toes into it. Yeah, maybe a little bit more on how those early days were and challenges that you may have faced or successes that you can remember, that could be motivating to individuals.
I'm going to kind of talk from the place of when I really started to put a focus on making, you know, my career again, when I decided that you know, what, I'm really going for this, you know, like, I did things like make a website and like I got really, you know, I was like really kind of lining things up. That was a point where I did not have a contract. So I wasn't doing work already. At that point, I started to have also an idea of what I wanted to do. And I didn't just want to do anything, that I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do. But there was a lot of the feelings there were imposter syndrome, big time. It was a little discouraging, because, you know, I knew I was like, I just want to get one like one- one contract. Like it was discouraging. And also, this is like from somebody who's been in the field for like, a long, long time, you know, but I remember sending out emails, and I think this is lesson number one, I did not burn bridges with relationships in the field that I had. So I was reaching back out to like, colleagues throughout the years, just like, hey, you know, here's what I'm doing. Basically, I want to get serious about this. And looking for a contract? Well, I would say it took about a year, honestly didn't get a contract. This is more of a lesson in entrepreneurship. And it is in like public health, that if you're going to start a business, like you have to know that it's not going to like happen overnight. Yeah,
I think I knew that in my mind, because I had already been given that advice. And then also, I've been consulting so long, so I like knew a little bit I guess about it. But it doesn't happen overnight. And it takes time. It wasn't just time. It's what I did with the time. I mean, I was pounding the pavement, I was out there, like putting myself out there and talking to people. And I think that is a lesson too. Like I was talking to everyone and anyone. And again, I had already been doing consulting, Moxley public health already existed, but I wanted to take it to the next level and think about what I really, you know, wanted to do as a consultant, because it was sort of my chance to recreate myself because that makes sense.
If, for instance, I was very strongly in evaluator, and I thought, oh, and then also I was working on her certain health issues. Do I really want to do that anymore? I don't know. Do I want to take a new turn? So one of the best things I did was I talked to other consultants.
Whether you're it's a- it's a new career thing or you're taking a turn in your career or whatever. That I think is really good advice. And nobody really told me honestly, I kind of I think I kind of came up with that on my own, because anybody will talk about themselves for- for a half an hour, so I would just say, hey, listen, do you have like 30 minutes somewhere? Well, you'll just talk to me on the phone, you know, and just answer questions. And that was one of the best things I ever did. I was listening to like podcasts at that point. And that's why I told you, I, when I taught, you know, at the University a couple months ago, I use your podcast as one of the, quote reading requirements, because I think that that is such a great thing for new public health, one of the workforce if even if you're not going to be like a consultant, or have your own company, just to think about what you want to do and listen to other people what they do.
They think like, the advice that you gave is, is for more than like anyone thinking about entrepreneurship, I think just going out and talking to people and putting yourself out there is applicable, even when you're looking for a job, right? The lessons are similar, just like the next day, after you graduate from your undergrad or your masters, you're not going to be handed a job. So you need to put yourself out there similar to how you're saying, you know, you had to put yourself out there to build your business, I think the lesson is applicable to probably anyone listening to this episode.
Yeah. I mean, that's why I believe so strongly in you know, your mission. Because I do think that if more people and graduate school, specifically public health school, knew more about what other people are doing in the field, I think that's really useful.
Yeah, it takes the- it takes that like guessing game out of the picture. And like the sense that you have to do this alone and on your own, and you don't, because like many, many, many people have done it before you and so you just have to lean on that sort of support.
Yeah. And I think sometimes in graduate school, I know in graduate school for me, you know, I loved being surrounded by all these brilliant people in academia. But I look back, like that's kind of all I was surrounded by was people in academia. So I didn't really know a whole lot about how you could use a public health degree in the field, because I didn't really want to go into academia. I don't know, I never really saw myself. I don't know. It's just seems like they need to put more effort. And maybe some universities are until like, you know, actually hearing about what people do on the field.
Yeah. So it's interesting, because you said, you struggled with imposter syndrome, but yet you put yourself out there. So how did you convince yourself or push yourself to go and talk to people, despite having this like, voice inside of your head telling you that, like, maybe you're not the one who should be going down this path?
I think it was good, because I was humble, you know, truly, I didn't act humble. I was humble. I don't know. I mean, that's just kind of a natural skill. And mine. I mean, I like talking to people. So I think for me, that was almost the easiest route was like, okay, we'll just, you know, to hear what people do. And other things I did is I, you know, have a lot of money at that point to invest into my business. But one of the things I did was I had a couple business coaching sessions, and I look back at that, and that was so valuable, and Dr. Charlotte Huntley, she was the first one. So I do my business, I do a lot of community health needs assessments. And I remember a conversation that we had, which is all about me, niching down. And she was like, listen, I know, for you to have a successful company, like some people are generalists, and that's fine. But you should really focus on one skill and niche down. And she was the one that kind of told me that. So that was a really good investment.
And had you done like needs assessment prior to that like to show for, like, as your portfolio, I suppose?
F rom a programming standpoint. So needs assessments are really im portant for programs too. So again, you have to collect data and the need for a program. If an organization or whoever wants to start an intervention or a program, they first have to collect data and information and assess whether it's actually needed, and whatever community they're serving. So I had done that for more of a programming place, I guess.
So you said it took you a year to land that first contract. So you had some, you know, coaching sessions with a few individuals, and then you land this first contract, and I'm assuming that was through just talking to people and I guess putting yourself out there with your colleagues.
So it was with partners on health. And I was so big and exciting.
I love partners and health and I- That's one of the places I went to work like 20 years before 15 years or something. So that really just happened by just talking to anyone and then being brave about reaching out is how I got that and that would not have happened if I was waiting for the job to, you know, somebody to come to me. So that was a lot of work. And, you know, I was really nervous. And that actually was not needs assessment, I helped a team in Haiti, do trainings with their mental health professionals on child adolescent mental health. So that was incredible. They have been an incredible team to work with, but you know, I, I felt like, oh, my goodness, you know, can I do this and it, I think there was some, like, negative feelings from myself or from a few people around me and like, just don't listen to that, like, you, like, have the ability, your professional you know, and like, don't let any negative feelings or thoughts or even talk from others, like, affecting, you know, go get it, you know, and that has been a wonderful project. And I've made amazing relationships, sort of a forever relationship with partners and health, with the team in Haiti. And I've learned new skills, and I was very qualified to do the task, but I learned, you learn from everything you do. And it was okay to not go in there knowing exactly what I needed to do. I think that's another skill that taught me I think, when I was having such impostor syndrome, it's okay to not know everything. I think I've learned that more than I ever had in the last few years. Like, it's okay to admit that. I guess it's sort of annoying when somebody like acts like they're the expert and everything. I'm professional and smart, but I don't know everything.
I think I needed to hea- hear that for this morning, I was having a moment of, I don't know if I can do this with PH SPOT and like, grow to where I want to grow it. So that's a good reminder that it's okay not to know.
I think it really is, I think that is a good lesson to learn as you go and your career. I mean, you can be in your career, decades, and you don't know everything. And I think the wiser person admits when they're like, you know, what, I don't know about that. You know, and I mean, I think clients want the they want the good feeling that you have obviously experience and expertise, then you you know, can take over something for them. But I guess at the same time, it's okay to not know everything and to be learning.
Yeah. How do you like suggest those especially like early on in their consulting journey, kind of position themselves? Because like you said, you need to present yourself as someone who's competent and confident to be able to deliver the said project within the timeline. But then also being humble about what you don't know. I guess, like, how did you- how did you go about it when you know, you got that first contract? And maybe you weren't sure about everything, but you were still confident? And how did you present yourself?
As a team member, you know, in listening to others what they want, I don't think you need to, in professional settings, especially when you have a you know, a client, I mean, they don't want to hear the long list of what you don't know about. So don't really necessarily share that.
But just come from a place of humbleness. And just that means listening and not talking at something. Whether you're in a you know, you work for a business and organization or you have your own business or whatever. I think that's an important part of working with clients and just, you know, just listening to their needs.
I think sometimes when you're, no matter what age is easy to like, you feel like you're going to sound like more of an expert with more knowledge, the more you talk.
I think I've just learned not to so again, like you said, while you're getting a job or whatever it is that you know, direction you want to go with your public health degree is just to be a go getter. I mean, I think that's just kind of a life lesson, you know, and be willing to, to work more. I think that as I get older, I think there's a time for putting up boundaries. I mean, not that you shouldn't when you're young. But I think that those boundaries have to look different. And you're new in your career, because like, when I was really my business full force, I had to work more then and not put up as such good boundaries as I do now,
There's a time when you have to be kind of more go getter and like work more than you do. Other times. Does that make sense?
Yeah, no, it does. It does.
I think people like eager learners. So like, let's say you're like, you know, graduating from a public health program and you're going out to get a job. I think people are very attracted to people that are eager to learn.
Yeah, like that. That energy is contagious. So if you bring that energy to the table, yeah, I'm just kind of thinking about you know, that- that first contract first step that, you know, some of our listeners might have to take, and I'm assuming like some of the other fears that they may have is around like, how do you set up a proper contract with the client? Or how do you price your offers or your services? I don't know if there's any advice that you could share around the more administrative side of consulting when you're first starting off?
Yeah, what Sujani, to go back to kind of the- the path because my first contract isn't really what I'm doing now.
Yeah, yeah, let's go back to that.
Let's go there. I just kind of want to give the full circle. So in my mind, I wanted to do I was thinking about needs assessments, but I wasn't ready to niche down because I just wanted to like a good contract,
Like end up getting this contract. And it was such a good offer an opportunity that I took it, you know, and I'm so glad I did. Oh, my goodness, I'm so glad I did.
I'm finishing up right now. And I actually hope it leads into something else. And I believe that it will with partners and health, but I think it's going to be more around the needs assessment. So I got the Partners in Health. And then I was doing international work they are within domestically, I was learning that hospitals in the United States have to do every three years. They're mandated by the IRS to do something called Community Health Needs Assessments, it can- I have done needs assessments for a program place, but I had them done for hospitals, per se. So I got a contract. And that was like, also kind of hard, because a lot of times they want consultants that have done, you know, 100 of them. And so that was a first, you know, hard one to land. I ended up getting the contract. And I just kind of learned as I go, I mean, that was a little bit, you know, and I did not announce constantly, you know, to my client of how much I don't know, you know, you know, I had a humble stance, but in the background, I was learning a lot. But I did a great job. And I talked to other consultants. So a great. Also advice. I have a mentor. I think that's another, you know, huge one that does hospital needs assessments. You know, she's been doing these hospitals assessments for decades. And she's just kind of taken me under my wing. She lives play across the country. I live in Ohio, she lives in California. And that has just been wonderful. Because I can talk to her the background a lot shellfish, I mean, just share so much knowledge with me. And that, by the way, came from one of those will you just tell me what you do for 30 minutes conversations. So I started doing hospital needs assessments. And from an entrepreneur standpoint, honestly, this is a great field, because you might want to do all these different things. They sound wonderful, but unless somebody's going to pay you. It's you know, I mean, it's great all but you might have a hard time getting the project. So this has been from a business side. Great because hospitals have to do them.
And it turns out, I really liked doing hospital needs assessments. And so it was a great business gap to get into and, and so like things like the partners of health, while I was doing training development with them, we've been having conversations, because in order to start a program on an intervention somewhere, wherever that be in the world, you have to do a needs assessment first. So a needs assessment is basically like the first step like in programming.
Interventions, you know, it's just assessing the other there's a need or not, basically, before you spill all these resources into something. So as I was doing my Haiti work, and then also I do work in Jamaica, it's hard, especially well, anywhere, to do anything if you don't have data to support it. So I have been talking to partners and health of, you know, like, hey, like, you know, I'm your person, if let's- Let's look at like needs assessments. And so, I would like that to do that in Jamaica. So it just kind of opened up a world of like other opportunities to do needs assessments to now my business is focused on needs assessments, because I really enjoyed doing them. So I wanted to make that full circle.
Yeah, no, that- that gives good context. And so like you stepping into that field of hospital needs assessment, was that also kind of going back to how you landed that through, like a network or old colleague of yours?
Nope, that was putting myself out there and talking to a lot of people, because I did not have really a strong network of people at hospitals. This was kind of a new way to do needs assessments. Because I was taking such return to my career. I had to kind of create that, I had to get out there and talk to people and so I was really kind of putting myself out there. But again, I feel like the confidence and the knowledge, a lot came from those initial conversations that I had, as I was seeing where I wanted to go next with public health. And then that woman the- the mentor that I- I'd like that as my mentor today. In fact, I have a meeting with her and a few hours to the knowledge that she passed along to me.
I guess. Yeah, going back to that question of like, the administrative side of things and contracts or pricing, is there any advice that you could offer? In terms of like, how do you first set those up? If you're starting off?
Yeah, I laugh at all that. Because it's right. Like, we know, we talk about this all the time. It's just because, again, across the board public health or not just entrepreneurship. I mean, that's like a whole new skill.
Kind of as you go, honestly. And pricing I laugh at because that has been a journey. You know, we want to talk about money, right? Need to know, from other consultants like, okay, what do you charge for a needs assessment? And what do you charge for this? I mean, there really, by the way, is no clear answer. I've had projects that are hourly. But mostly now I've charged project based. So because I do really large projects, so that it'll be like a year. So I'll just get charged for like, deliverables. That's kind of a learn as you go contracts. I remember the first time. I mean, you just kind of stumbled along that, you know, if you can, the advice that I would give is don't take as long as some do, you know, learn from others, listen to others. I guess I had been doing contracts for a while. So when I was at John Snow, the difference with that is I had very much like I never handled a contract.
No. So I guess there's that if you work on a firm, I was a little bit in the consulting world. And I knew about business development and writing grants and things like that, but I wasn't doing contracts. I guess, early on, though years ago, I did have contracts. So you know, you just learned about little things like forming your LLC and get an EIN number and yada yada, but I'm still learning like, next week, I have an appointment with a an accountant. You know, because I want to get my bookkeeping and my taxes, my small business stuff like more in order. I mean, a little bit of is learning as you go, but I guess, maybe just talk to others and learn. And one of the best things I've done is, you know, in fact, you were the one that told me about the business network we're in is ask others and learn. And I joined the network that you're in also. And I've learned so much, just about like being an entrepreneur, because ever, you know, this is not just a public health, this isn't work. But I've learned a lot. But I'm also still learning.
And theme keeps going back to talk to others learn from others, you don't have to do it alone. And that kind of takes me to on your LinkedIn bio, you consider yourself as a master networker or people connector. And I suppose like, now that we've chatted a little bit, that's kind of the foundation of your business and your career to date.
Yeah, I think the thing that I enjoy about consulting and my work the most is, I love talking to people in the community, you know, as far as like my technical work, because I have to talk to people in the communities that I work in to figure out what's going on. And so I love talking to people. I love working with clients, I love working with subcontractors for my company, employees, and I don't know, I like the people. I'm a- I'm definitely a people person. So but I feel like that's very necessary. And entrepreneurship, I have great skills, but so to other people. And it's, even though I'm really blessed to work, my office is at home, but I don't want to work in a silo. So talking to other people and getting other people's are a really good skill base. I think something I guess from a business standpoint, logistic standpoint that I've learned is that you know, get others. An example is graphic arts.
I remember I was trying to, like, spend forever doing like reports and making them look pretty. And then one day I got smart. And I have a graphic artist.
Like they're good at that skill.
I'm not-
Working your strengths.
Yeah, you're happier that way. Right? You- you do the things that you like to do and find people that can do the other things.
And it's like, I want more infographics.
In my reports, that's like, up top. You know, like, I think infographics are amazing, and in my reports to show data, so I'm not very good at them, you know?
Yeah, no, it's cool, because you get to shape the work that you want to do. And that flexibility, I suppose, is what's keeping you in consulting and kind of wanting to grow this business.
Yeah. And because I'm a people person I like- I like the managing aspect. I mean, some people don't enjoy that, I guess.
But I like sort of managing the, you know, there's lots of moving parts there. Then managing that and putting it all together. And then learning to like, get other people's strengths to make my deliverable better, like all the better by, you know, having several people's hands and skill sets in it.
I guess like kind of the flip side of this kind of looking back at your journey. So far, we can go back as far as when you first thought about starting consulting, curious to hear like, is there anything that you would have done differently? Looking back at things now?
Yes, I'm sure. I mean, but I'm, you know, forever optimist. So-
We even on the negative things I look back at. I feel like that was part of the learning journey. So I have a hard question on that. I'm sure. I'll think afterwards of other things. I should have said, but I don't know. I wish I collected my tax information better. I don't know. I don't know taxes in Canada. Do you guys do taxes?
Yeah, yes, we do.
So I don't know. I think I'm having a hard time answering that question on the spot. I think I've talked about things. I just wish I would have had more confidence along the way. But again, that was part of the journey, too. You know, I don't think it's bad to be humbled once in a while.
I don't know. I think just- it just competence, I think is that have confidence, like believe in yourself. Talk to others.
Yeah, I am thinking titling this podcast is like life lessons from Stephanie.
Oh, my gosh, thank you. But what I learned from others.
Yeah. Okay, so now, like Moxley public health, I think it's on an exciting trajectory if you're- if you're looking ahead, are you able to share sort of what kind of projects that you're looking to take on and the vision for your company moving forward?
Okay, so I want to do a lot more hospital needs assessments, and I'm gonna do a lot more. And I really enjoy those. And I just enjoy kind of improving them as everyone, as I like another improvement. I also really want to take my needs assessments into my international work, which I talked about, I do them for hospitals, which was really great for communities that the hospitals are in, and the United States. And I really enjoyed that work. And it's really important. But it's also I want to sort of go back to my roots a little bit, I guess you will, from a programming side, not because they have to, I guess is the way to say it. But because it's a necessary part of determining whether a program or intervention is needed. And then a part of a needs assessment is not only gathering existing data, but creating new data. And I have seen in my international work, that it's often a major barrier and challenge when data just literally does not exist, yeah, to show the need for something. So I would like to do needs assessments in that capacity, not because it's mandated by the IRS or something. But because it's a necessary, they need it for our community, specifically in my Jamaica, work and other places, maybe through partners and health and things like that. I'm not in academia, but I really enjoy teaching students, because we talked a lot about this already. And we've talked about it before, as I really believe it's really fun to share with students about work that is in the field, and how you, you know, you learn all these skills in graduate school, but how do you are you going to use them? Well needs assessment, at least for me, I took like an entire course on assessments. And it's a very pure public health skill. And I literally do it. And I don't know, you can't say this very often. Like I basically do exactly how they teach it in graduate school, how to do it needs. It's how I learned it, and other people do. But I mean, there's just a right way to do it needs assessment, it makes a lot of sense. So I'm teaching that as you know, I got an opportunity to teach a class in France. And I am teaching again in October and then February. Yeah. And so that is really fun. So again, I do not want to make that my main career, my business. You know, I'm not looking to become a tenured professor.
But I enjoy having that as a supplement to my work and sort of giving back to students and I taught a class at the beginning of February, and I had really hadn't done it much. I mean, I don't know I lead groups, but I hadn't like taught.
It was so fun. And so I want to do more. Well, I am doing more of that in the fall and then the beginning next year. I would like to continue that and maybe- Maybe another university somewhere else.
Very cool. Here's my final question for you. And it's more to put pressure on you. Where can people learn more about the work that you're doing Stephanie because I know that you're looking to I guess, build up your social media a bit more. So for our listeners who want to hear about all the work that you're doing, and all the great life lesson that you have to share, where can they find you?
Okay, so you've hit a stress point. Thank you very much. I don't like social media. But it's been like a black cloud over me that I need to start social media. So I have a really a great website, www.Moxleypublichealth, but I haven't updated it. I need to work on updating that just to add more current information, maybe advertise with a more specific, you know, be more specific about what I do, but I don't do much social media. Oh, so you know, you told me about Asana.
I am obsessed with Asana. There is under I have like a whole project called business development. And it just sitting on there. I even have like somebody who will make the post for me, but I have to create the content.
But it's just sitting there. It has been there for a while. Maybe I'm working on it Sunday.
Do you have a newsletter, or at least a place for people to sign up to your newsletter?
So if you go on my website-
There will be a pop up.
Right. Okay.
Sign up. Yeah. And so we are starting to send out a newsletter, one of my goals for 2022 is definitely to beef all that up.
For my advertisement, and to be you know, more out there about what you know, the projects that we've done and things like that. So that really is coming, but you can go to my website, www.Moxleypublichealth.com, sign up for the newsletter, and we'll send just fun stuff.
Great. Thanks so much, Stephanie. I think that was such a fun conversation. We dabbled a bit on entrepreneurship and just, you know, great lessons to build your career and talked a bit about, you know, you being a mother as well and building this business. And I think just looking at the clock or coming up to the hour, so we might have to have you back on to kind of continue this conversation here more about how Moxley public health is going.
Well, it's an honor to be invited. You know, I think you always had that feeling of you're like, oh, I don't really, I hope I help somebody. But I know, you know, maybe it did, though. I know. I love listening to these. And I love hearing people's stories and people helped me even when they didn't realize it. So.
Yeah, I know. It'll help many people. And I think I'll encourage our listeners that if you were inspired by this episode, send us an email so we can hit forward on that to Stephanie.
Okay, thank you.

U. Michigan Student Newspaper Allegedly Told Staff Not to Use FOX News as a Source
"The Daily claims to stand for intellectual diversity, but this rule directly contradicts that claim"
Posted by Mike LaChance Wednesday, August 19, 2020 at 10:00am 4 Comments
According to this report, it's acceptable for students to cite CNN and MSNBC. What a joke.
Campus Reform reports:
EXCLUSIVE: UMich student paper tells staff not to cite Fox News
Based on a tip from a concerned student at the University of Michigan, Campus Reform investigated an email from the college's student newspaper, the Michigan Daily, to its staff.
In a 19-slide presentation titled "Columnist & Cartoonist training," the paper explicitly told staff not to use Fox News as a source.
On slide 7, titled "appropriate sources," it stated, "use sources that are generally accepted as reputable." Then, it goes on to instruct the staff not to cite Fox News. Also included in the "Don't Cite" category are Wikipedia and Buzzfeed.
The newspaper did not instruct students to refrain from citing left-leaning cable news outlets, such as CNN or MSNBC.
The presentation explained this is important because it makes evidence "harder to dispute" while upholding the student paper's reputation.
Valentina House, a conservative columnist for the Michigan Daily and Campus Reform correspondent, said it was disheartening to find out about this rule.
"The Daily claims to stand for intellectual diversity, but this rule directly contradicts that claim," House said. "The Daily considers credibility a factor when choosing appropriate sources, but they don't provide nearly the same scrutiny for left-wing outlets."

Credibility = Tells me (liberal) things I want to hear.
That's the culture they want and are working like mad to get.
rscalzo | August 20, 2020 at 8:37 am
But is CNN or MSNBC a credible source?
Dimsdale | August 20, 2020 at 9:40 pm
No bias here!!
Old Navy Doc | August 21, 2020 at 10:04 pm
I attended Michigan in the 60's and 70's and the Michigan Daily was a pro pinko/anarchist rag then as well. The ONLY decent thing about the Doily was the 5 cent bottles of Coke in their vending machine. The paper was best used on the bottom of the gerbil cage.

First up from a break. Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd two runs back at Hobart. Each way chance.
Third up from a break. Finished 1.8L from the winner at the track last time but will try to take advantage of the draw. Good place chance and one for the exotics.
5yo first starter by Needs Further for trainer John Luttrell and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Good place chance and one for the exotics.
Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start around here and having second career run. Should go very close.
Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 2.3L three runs back at Devonport and will be trying to topple them late. Resumes after a spell. Will be there at the business end.
Finished almost 14L behind the winner at Devonport last start and rises in weight today. Hard to have.
First run back from a break. Weakened to finish 11th last start at Strathalbyn but change in trainer to Tegan Keys. Most likely not today.
4yo first starter for John Blacker by Dalakhani. Most likely not today.
Ryan Bishop and Stuart Gandy are a promising combination. Overrun late when 3rd last time at Devonport but has to carry more weight this time. Can't leave out of your calculations.
Rattled home nicely into 2nd beaten by a neck last start around here and having second career run. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.
Weakened to finish 9th last time at Pakenham but coming to a new trainer. Struggle to recommend.
Likely to get back in the run. Was the first one beaten when 8th last run at Devonport but having third run back from a break. Making up the numbers.

To those who want both HH seeds and sedum I plan to ship them together as soon as the seeds are ready.


If you work with other types of metadata and need to move the changes in them to an org, use the functionality of deploying.
The Welkin Suite offers you multiple ways to execute the build, depending on your purpose, and volume of changes that you want to implement. You can find all the available options for the build in the Main Menu ⇒ Build.
Build %project% (the Cmd+K hotkey) — to build changes only from a selected project.
In addition, you can access to the build options via the Build button at the top of the application's window.
Once you start a build process, the output of the process is displayed automatically in the Error list panel reflecting all the changes of the build status.
You are able to see an icon and the build status in the status bar.
All the steps of the building process are described below one by one.
At the first step, TWS detects all the changes in the files locally. You can revise the complete list of such files that are going to be built in the Pending changes panel. In addition to these files, The Welkin Suite also gathers and sends on Salesforce all the dependent files that may relate to the changes.
If there are no changes, the build won't send any file to the Salesforce org.
At the second stage, The Welkin Suite checks the Salesforce org if files that were changed locally were not changed in the org.
If such changes are detected, you will see a list of files in the Error List Panel with the message that you need to pull these files first to get the updated version.
If there are no changes on Salesforce, your files will be sent to the build.
If during the build process TWS detects errors, they will be displayed in the Error List Panel.
If no errors are returned, TWS redownloads the built files from SF if the data from their *-meta.xml files were changed.
After all these actions TWS calculates hash for downloaded files and store them in order to check for changes in SF on the next build.
When the build has finished successfully, you will see the following status in the Output Panel.

On an overcast day in the remote Torres del Paine National Park in the south of Chile, our Patagonia Camp guide reassured us it was the weather to see the glacier blues pop. When the tour stopped briefly at the cosy Lago Grey Hotel for the guide to collect the navigation tickets, I stepped inside and was immediately awe struck from the views from the lobby to the restaurant. Even behind glass, the sight just in front of me was like nothing I've seen before in real life, floating icebergs that glowed against the contrast of the black sand. Our guide was so right.
We took a wavy walk across the Lago Pingo bridge made for just six people at a time over rapidly flowing water from all the rain and through the spectacular Lenga forest to put our feet on the coarse black sand seen from the hotel windows. Transported to Grey II by a smaller motorised dinghy we cruised Lago Grey past many incredible iceberg formations till we reached Glacier Grey up close. During the three hour navigation there was some light rain while we were standing outside on the deck admiring the towering glacier and at that point it was the coldest feeling of my life.


National ICT Australia (NICTA) has partnered with Microsoft to develop technology aimed at improving the performance of online video search engines.
The research association, which is funded by the federal government and has five labs across Australia, will work with Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) to make it easier for computers to better understand video content.
Project leader, Dr Jian Zhang, said NICTA technology will be vital to the success of the project.
"NICTA has technology that recognises and models video-based action, which we developed for automation of video surveillance systems," Zhang said in a statement.
With most search engines supporting keyword search retrieval for video-based content, the joint-research is set to take the next step by mapping action words from video titles.
A statement from the NICTA said the Australian team will develop prototype software and algorithms which will then be tested with Microsoft's video metadata.
MSRA group manager, Asia Shipeng Li, said the research project will mark the start of long-term collaboration between the two groups.

What are the best attractions in the Faroe Islands? Which places should I definitely visit when staying in the Faroe Islands for one week? This is your short 7 days guide to the beautiful, beautiful Faroe Islands added with good to know travel information.
The Faroe Islands is one of the most remote parts of Europe. When staying in this Nordic archipelago for one week, you will get the chance to see many of the great attractions in one of the most remarkable travel destinations in the world. There are in total 18 unspoiled islands. This comprehensive itinerary will let you explore seven of these islands.
When you are planning your journey to the Faroe Islands, you will learn that there is plenty more to see than you had assumed. Here is a short list of the popular sights that you will explore in this seven days itinerary in the Faroe Islands.

When going for a car rental, expect to get a new car. All cars are in excellent condition. You can add a GPS at an extra cost but you will do perfectly without this extra gear. There are only some 600 kilometres of roads in the Faroe Islands so do not expect to get lost! All roads are well maintained.
If you want to take public transport, go for the public Travel Card which comes in two variation 4-day or 7-day. The price for a 4-day Travel Card is 77 USD and the 7-day card costs 109 USD. Read more about how to get from the airport to Tórshavn and your transport options in the Faroe Islands.
If you want everything to be served for you, then book guided tours including transport to the top attractions. The duration of these day tours range from 3 hours to 10 hours depending on where you are going. There are guided day tours to literally all attractions in the Faroe Islands provided by several tour operators.
The waterfall in Gásadalur village is one of the main Faroe Islands attractions.
Start your Faroe Islands holiday by visiting the small village Bøur. This cute village is situated only a short drive from the airport where all flights to Faroe Islands land. In Bøur you will have a great view towards the Tindhólmur islet and the Drangarnir sea-stacks. Enjoy walking in between old turf-roofed houses and narrow paths.
Tindhólmur is the quaintest and most strikingly beautiful islet in the Faroes. Its shape proclaims the monstrous destructiveness of ocean storms. On the near side this half-mountain sweeps steeply downwards to low flat shelves of pasture land reaching to the rocky shore. You will have the best view of Tindhólmur from the village Bøur.
This one week Faroe Islands itinerary will take you to these locations.
From there, head further down the road and pass the tunnel to the isolated village Gásadalur. This is the village where you will find the famous Múlafossur Waterfall. Feel the immense power of nature when standing at the edge and looking at the water cascading into the Atlantic Ocean. Make sure to take a stroll through the small village of Gásadalur where you will get a true sense of how rural life is still lived in the Faroe Islands.
Now, head over to the main island Streymoy. Most visitors stay in capital Tórshavn on the Streymoy island. Before you get to Tórshavn, make sure to stop by Norðradalur. In order to see Norðradalur you will take the old mountain road from Kollfjarðardalur. Turn left when you see the gas station EFFO. From here you will start a 20 minutes journey through mountain terrain.
The roads in the Faroe Islands are really good. The mountain road or Oyggjarvegurin to Tórshavn is fine, though it is not in as good condition as the roads in general. After a 15 minutes drive turn right again when you see a sign "Norðradalur". From the top of the hillside Norðradalsskarð, you will see gorgeous landscapes and you will have a fantastic view of the Norðradalur valley with the tiny village just beside the coast.
Also, you will see the island Koltur from the Norðradalsskarð. The population on the Koltur islands is: 1 person. Yes, only one person!
The impressive Fossá Waterfall. Photo by Ryan Fields on Instagram.
Start your first full day here by visiting Saksun. This picturesque village attracts most visitors due to its beautiful surroundings. You will get a real taste of the great outdoors when walking around the old houses in Saksun from where you will have an amazing view of the tidal lagoon and the white church with one of the best views that you can imagine.
Next, head to Tjørnuvík the northernmost settlement on Streymoy island. Here you will see the rugged nature and the fantastic village that lies by the end of a steep valley. Here the weather is ever changing as the Faroe Islands weather does in general. One minute there is blue sky the next minute rain and clouds.
Before you reach Tjørnuvík, you will pass Fossá Waterfall that drops beautiful in two different plateaus. You will enjoy this waterfall the most during a rainy day or just after heavy rain.
Mykines is the best island to experience puffins. Tours to Mykines are only done from May to August.
Spend your third day exploring the most sought-after island Mykines. Tours to Mykines are only available in the summer season from May 1st to late August. If you are in the Faroe Islands in low season, you can visit the island Nólsoy just outside of Tórshavn. In order to get to Nólsoy, you will take the public ferry from the harbour in Tórshavn with several departures each day.
When you are in the Faroe Islands during the summer months, make sure to book a Mykines tour. Read everything about this puffin island in our guide to Mykines island. If you want to explore the stunning sight on Mykineshólmur islet where there is a lighthouse at the very tip, a tour guide is required.
A rewarding view that requires very little effort. Klakkur on Borðoy island a short hike from the second largest village Klaksvík.
Embark on a journey to the Northern islands. Head to the northernmost village Viðareiði where you will experience the great mountains Villingdalsfjall (844 m), which comes to an end at Enniberg (754 m), Europe's highest sea cliff, and Malinsfjall (751 m).
In Klaksvík you can go for a short hike up to Klakkur. This is an easy hike with a rewarding panoramic view of the town Klaksvík on one side and to the other Kalsoy island and Eysturoy island. During summer you can shoot great pictures here, even though it is midnight, which is just crazy.
Close to Klaksvík is an embankment connecting Borðoy island with Kunoy island. Cross the short closing and head to the village Kunoy on the island bearing the same name. There are high cliff walls along the northern part of this village. You will also have a beautiful view of the neighbouring island Kalsoy.
If you want to experience an uninhabited village, then take the bumpy road to Múli. This is one of the most exotic locations. There are some ruins of houses and also a nice view of the fjord and surrounding mountains.
Today you will start the day by exploring the capital, Tórshavn. There is a charming old part of town named á Reyni on the peninsula Tinganes where you will find the Prime Minister's office as well as other government administration buildings. All buildings here are red.
All houses in the á Reyni district are turf roofed adding to the lovely charm in this oldest part of the capital. People live in these small houses so remember to respect their privacy when going on a stroll between the small houses on the many narrow paths.
On a nice day, it is quite enjoyable to also stroll around the harbour's western cove, which, with its crooked paths, densely packed tarred and painted timber houses, and old warehouses, presents a particularly vivid picture of the town's 19th-century life. You will also find harbour-side art galleries and cafés, where you can sit and enjoy watching the colourful fishing boats or people passing by. There is also a splendid view of Nólsoy island across the bay.
When you have explored the best part of Tórshavn, it is time to head north on the Streymoy island to the small town Vestmanna with 1200 inhabitants. There are some great opportunities for travellers in this town. You can experience the Vestmanna Sea Cliffs on a two hours boat ride along the coastline where you will see lots of birds and basalt walls. Weather permitting, you will also sail through impressive dark grottoes.
Alternatively, you can do four hours of fishing with a local tour operator departing from the harbour twice a day. There is a catch guarantee on this very popular deep sea angling tour.
If you like mountain terrain, drive up the narrow mountain path in Vestmanna to the Heygadalur valley. Here you will see the two mountains Egilsfjall and Loysingarfjall. These mountains are separated by a long, steep-sided rift which sears the moor from east to west, and ultimately forms the natural haven on the coast where the pleasant, tidy town Vestmanna lies.
When heading back to Tórshavn, stop by the Viking village Kvívík and if you still have some time drive to the small village Skælingur. In order to get to Skælingur you will drive through the village Leynar. From the narrow road to Skælingur, you will experience beautiful waterfalls.
This view from above Funningur is absolutely fantastic. People love hiking to this attraction.
Most people come to the Faroe Islands for the nature, landscape, and seascape. On this tour to the island Eysturoy, you will experience all of this. First, head to the village Gjógv where houses are scattered on the hill. You will have the unique opportunity to see the gorge that spans 200 metres almost into the village. You can walk to the end of the ravine on both sides and even take the route down into this impressive natural gorge which has given the village its name.
Now, stop at the mountain pass a five minutes drive from Gjógv. At the highest point of Gjáarskarð pass, there is a fence that will lead you all the way to Hvíthamar. From this spot above the village Funningur, you will have a breathtaking view of water, mountains and stunning nature. This is a really easy hike for only about ten minutes.
Finally, make sure to visit Æðuvík. You will drive for about 40 minutes from Gjáarskarð to explore the village Æðuvík. Enjoy the silence in this peaceful village. There is a great home dining experience at a local farmer in Æðuvík. They serve local food grown on and around the island.
The scenery in Gásadalur is ever changing. Therefore, visiting this village and the waterfall twice during your stay is recommended.
This is your final day in the Faroe Islands. When you have packed your stuff and you are ready to get to Vagar airport, you can do one last sightseeing before departure. Turn your eyes one last time to the tiny settlement, Gásadalur, which sits above a cliff. Enjoy the tight cluster of coloured houses at the mouth of the deep valley, its position in the ring of hills impressing forcefully upon you the solitude and remoteness of Faeroe villages.
The shining fields gloss the feet of Árnafjall, the highest mountain on Vágar islands. Nearly a mile away from the houses you will find the breathtaking Múlafossur Waterfall where you will also see the cliff leading down to the landing place.
Not far away a stream pours out of the valley in a white cascade, and, by a strange optical illusion caused by the distant view, all movements seems to have been arrested, so that it hangs over the dark cliff like a long, narrow scarf of lace.
If you have late flight then go for a hike to Trælanípa and the nearby Bøsdalafossur. The amazing lake above the ocean is one of the must-see places to experience in the Faroe Islands. Bear in mind, though, that you will hike for three hours when exploring the cliff Trælanípa where you will see the lake hovering over the ocean and the water from the lake cascading into the cold ocean only a 10 minutes hike from the Slave's cliff. You can also walk a short extra distance to see the sea-stack Geituskorardrangur which is definitely also worth a visit.
The Faroe Islands are for those looking for a not overly touristy destination. It is for those searching for a memorable vacation in unspoiled surroundings. Now, take a look at the best tours and activities in the Faroe Islands.

Ren and Korekiyo's Progress Log
Vocality
By kiyomochie,
March 1, 2021 in Progress Reports
kiyomochie
Joined March 1, 2021
March 1, 2021 (edited)
Hello everyone!! I'm Ren, pretty new here (been lurking on the site for a few months but never made an account). I actually got introduced to the idea of tulpamancy through Danganronpa V3, by Korekiyo Shinguuji. Funnily enough, guess who's now my tulpa?... Yep. Korekiyo himself!! So I guess I'll be putting my progress with him here.
Kiyo's been around for a month and a half now. His growth has been rapid. I never really had anything in my mind blocking his existence, so it was pretty easy for him to develop sentience (or at least what we consider sentience) in a short amount of time. Our wonderland was also formed in a matter of days, but Kiyo has been adjusting it as he sees fit, so who knows what it looks like now?
He's also been working on vocality, being really pushing to adopt his voice. He sounds, looks, and acts exactly like the character.. so maybe he's a fictive? Either way, Kiyo's aware that he and that character are not the same being, but he considers himself to be a reincarnation of the character, without the trauma and suffering.
He's really interested in anthropology, of course, and since that's the career path I want to pursue as well (I'm 15), we've been reading a lot of anthropology books together. It's quite a positive experience, although he does sometimes get annoyed with me when I don't read them for while, and starts being REALLY sarcastic. It's okay, though.
When I get into arguments with my parents, Kiyo is with me, urging me to keep my cool and not waste my time on them. I wonder if he looks down on them? When he especially disagrees with them, he calls them "petty idiots". I don't have any issues with my parents, I love them more than anything, but Korekiyo gets mighty judgemental of people he doesn't trust, and it takes him a long time to trust someone. But, he doesn't ever wish harm on anyone, and shows no urges to lash out, rather wishing for me to do the opposite. So I'd say it's rather inconsequential.
Kiyo can sort of talk through me. What I mean by that is that he tells me what he wants to say, and I type it out. But more often than not, I have a general idea of what he wants to say without him saying anything to me. When I ask him about it, though, he confirms that that is what he was saying. So maybe we just mentally communicate really fast?
I can definitely make out a difference between my texting pattern and his, and it's not a conscious choice- when I'm typing for Kiyo, I don't have to think out what he says, although he speaks in a much more formal manner than I do. It just kinda comes to me naturally, as though he is speaking through my fingertips. Really interesting!
We want to get better at possession (or more accurately, we want to be able to do it at all). Any tips from experienced tulpamancers? Also, encouraging notes are appreciated, by both me and Kiyo.
(Also, I included an edit I made of him! SPOILERS!!)
Good day to all! Bye!
-Ren
Edited March 1, 2021 by kiyomochie
Okay, so, I'm posting this on the same day, just in the evening, since sort of a lot happened today. Whew!
So, first off, I was napping through my Zoom classes (oops) and I heard Kiyo's voice (internally of course) very clearly! I can hear him say certain words more clearly than others, since he does have voice lines from the game, but he was speaking using his voice to say things that had not been said in-game and were totally original to him. It was super exciting! I was a lot more excited than he was, he was more bemused than anything. Of course he's happy that he's getting better at using his voice instead of my mind voice, but he wasn't as energetic about it as I was. But that's to be expected, Kiyo does keep his cool in almost all situations.
We also... told a few of my friends about him. We started off being super nervous, but things went surprisingly well. Three of them were concerned for me but still warily supportive, one of them was extremely interested in him and began to press me to speak with him right away, and the last one is a system themself so was pretty supportive and helped me to explain to the others. I think if they get to know him, they'll come to find he has only good intentions. So I'm staying hopeful for that! Still really happy with how it went, though.
Kiyo has also expressed some interest in talking to other tulpas and systems. I'm supportive of him talking to whoever, obviously! So hopefully he can meet some people with more experience than we have.
He was really thrilled that the friends I mentioned before treated him as a person. I think being seen as a real person(entity? thought form? being?) is really good for him, as it gave him a huge confidence boost. Then, later, as I was reading a book on anthropology, he started singing along to a song I had had stuck in my head. It was very endearing.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that Kiyo and I had a great day together! We're going to try some tips we got from HotsTulp tonight. So tomorrow I'll definitely update on how that went, and then some!
I suppose that's all for tonight, so... See ya when I update next!
Hey, welcome, and good to hear about your progress so far!

I can't say I'm familiar with the game Kiyo comes from, but don't be surprised if he starts to deviate from the character in the game once he grows and matures.

That's great! Hearing that he is speaking his own words with his voice is a great sign in his development. You have a leg-up on vocality because of Kiyo's origins; I struggle a bit with that myself because I still haven't nailed down exactly what Simmie sounds like and her mind-voice comes across as "generic female voice" most often.
This is actually how Simmie and I communicate a lot of the time. When reflecting on this a bit I realized that this is already a few steps on the road to possession, at least of the hands. When he "tells" you what he wants to say--in pure thought rather than words--and you interpret and type in real time, when you think about it: you--Ren--are barely a middle-man in that equation. He's basically typing it himself! (See! I can do it too! 😀)
Having supportive real life friends acting accepting to your tulpa is very validating. I have one close friend that I told about Simmie, and while he still thinks the whole thing is a bit weird he's open-minded enough about it to be supportive. Simmie's a big fan of him too; she keeps joking that she's going to steal my friend and they're going to hang out without me, lol.
Same here! 😁 I want to get to know other tulpas too! Although I don't know how much "experience" I have since I've only been a real tulpa for about 3 months now. But I have my own chat thread now if you want to stop by and say hi, or Ranger has a general thread to get tulpas to come out and talk to people. Don't rush it; I know I was too shy to talk to anyone else besides Phil at first, and I'm still a little nervous when I type on here. (Or should I say pseudo-possess Phil to type for me 😋) But drop by and say hi anytime! 😁
Phil. 😎 Host of Simmie.

Health Systems Initiatives
Addressing Disparities and Promoting Health Equity
Cancer is a disease that can affect anyone, but it does not affect everyone equally. Statistics show that some minority populations and people who lack health insurance are more likely to develop cancer – and die from it – than the general U.S. population. For those affected by this unequal burden of cancer, getting potentially lifesaving screening tests can be difficult, if not impossible.
This is the motivation behind the American Cancer Society's Health Systems Initiatives – address the unequal burden of cancer by reaching individuals in underserved communities in collaboration with community partners. Together, we strive to promote health equity and ensure equal access to cancer education and screenings for all individuals.
Building Health Systems Capacity
The American Cancer Society provides various resources aimed to build capacity that is necessary to successfully promote health equity across the nation.
CHANGE Program: The American Cancer Society's Community Health Advocates implementing Nationwide Grants for Empowerment and Equity (CHANGE) Grant Program builds community and system capacity to promote health equity, access and navigation to screening resources within underserved communities.
CHANGE grants serve as a catalyst for partners to implement and sustain interventions to effectively engage and mobilize patients; and implement systems and policies that are essential to increasing access to timely cancer screenings.
The Society has awarded nearly 350 grants since 2011 and grant recipients are making amazing impact! Our grant recipients represent community health centers, community-based organizations, academic medical centers, breast and cervical cancer early detection programs, Indian Health Service health centers and faith-based organizations.
Health Equity Pipeline: In collaboration with Gates Millennium Scholars Program, the American Cancer Society works to build a pipeline of health equity professionals who will serve as future leaders in the fight against cancer disparities. As part of this collaboration, the Society offers health equity related capstone opportunities for select scholars who are pursuing masters or doctorate level degrees in public health.
Collaborators in the Fight against Cancer
The fight against cancer requires that we harness the power of partnership! Our corporate partners provide funding that is essential to the Society's ability to provide culturally relevant programs and resources, and our community partners are key in reaching populations who need us most.
Corporate Partners: Thank you to our past and present corporate partners for their investment in the fight again cancer!
Community Health Workers: Community Health Workers play a vital role in educating and empowering the community to get screened for cancer. Meet community partners in Virginia and Minnesota and learn about their commitment to saving lives from cancer.
Social/Civic Organizations: The Society is excited to launch a new initiative in partnership with social and civic organizations to include The Links, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Beginning in fall of 2015, a text messaging initiative will be launched to provide education and encouragement for individuals to speak with their health care providers about the cancer screenings that are right for them.
Faith-Based Organizations: The Society partners with The National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. and the African Methodist Episcopal Church to implement Partnering for Life, a program that works directly with African American church leaders to address the burden of cancer in the community through awareness and educational activities. Partnering for Life takes a holistic approach that engages the mind, body, and spirit in the fight against cancer.
The success of our Health Systems Initiatives is measured by increases in access to screening, impact to individuals, and accomplishments related to the implementation of system policies and practices. Our success may also be measured by the ability to collaborate with corporate and community partners, and offer culturally relevant materials, trainings and other resources.
