Man tries to abduct barista from coffee stand's drive-thru window, video shows
(NEXSTAR) – Police in Auburn, Washington, are searching for a man who attempted to abduct a barista through the drive-thru window of a coffee shop.
The incident, which took place early on Monday morning, was caught on the shop's surveillance camera.
As seen in the video, the barista appears to be handing the suspect his change when he grabs hold of her arm, yanks her toward him, and tries to ensnare her head or arm with a "looped ziptie device," as police described it in a news release issued to Facebook.
She yanks her arm away and evades his attempt to pull her through the window, at which point he drives off in a four-door truck, the video shows.
In its Facebook post, the department asked the public for any information on the suspect's identity. Police noted that he had a "unique tattoo" on his left arm reading "Chevrolet."

The Auburn Police Department had not apprehended the suspect as of Tuesday morning, but received a "tremendous" number of tips from the community since putting out a call for more information on Facebook.
"We've received a lot of good leads," said Officer Kolby Crossley, the public information officer of the Auburn Police Department, in a statement shared with Nexstar.
Police have refrained from naming the location where the attack took place, though several locals alleged to know where the incident took place. A worker for the coffee stand later appeared to confirm the location, and identified herself as the victim seen in the video.
She told Nexstar she's confident the police will be able to track down the suspect.
"The police will find him," said the worker, who did not reveal her name.
The alleged victim also suggested the suspect was intent on abducting someone that morning, though not necessarily her.
"He was going to do it to someone that day and it happened to be me," she said.
The worker added that the stand's owner has provided employees with "mace," "tasers," and a panic button, for safety.
"The owner does everything you can imagine for us to try and secure us at work," she said, which is why she said she's remained a long-time employee of the shop.

The incident, meanwhile, has left viewers and Auburn residents shocked, with some expressing worry for the continued safety of the victim.
"This is by far the scariest thing I have seen in a while," one viewer on Facebook wrote. "Women be careful out there. Young women aren't safe anywhere!"
"That tattoo is going to give him away and he clearly looks like he's done this before and was prepared.," another commented. "This is a dangerous dude. I hope you find him soon."

It may come as a huge surprise but the truth is that your child's baby teeth play a crucial role in the proper development of the permanent teeth. Your dentist can help you ensure that you meet your entire family's dental needs. Practicing proper oral care is a way of life!
Baby teeth are the 20 primary teeth that grow in a baby's early stages. These teeth are already ready in the jaw at birth. Poor oral health may result in tooth decay and early tooth loss, which in turn leads to crooked permanent teeth.
5 reasons your child's baby teeth matters.
When the baby teeth are lost prematurely, it can result that the adult teeth come in crooked, as the spaces were already open for a long time.
When a child suffers from cavities while their baby teeth are in place, it can quickly spread throughout their mouth. The enamel of the primary teeth is not as strong as that of secondary teeth. For this reason, cavities left unattended can cause damage to the permanent teeth that needs to grow.
Making sure that your child gets the nutrition, they need goes a long way to ensure good oral and overall health and wellness. Good nutrition from a young age will help the permanent teeth to grow strong.
It's vital for parents to consider the good health of their child's teeth by addressing certain issues sooner than later. Habits such as thumb sucking and pacifiers can change the speech and growth of baby teeth, which will have a permanent effect on the secondary teeth. Long-term pacifier use (estimated over the age of 5) can create a gap (overbite) that will require braces to correct.
Children who suffer from tooth decay will experience toothache, which can hinder their ability to focus on learning. Having your child visit your affordable dentist in Centurion on a regular basis will help improve and maintain the health of their teeth.
Vegetables – provides good health benefits including added calcium. Raw vegetables can help naturally clean plaque build-up.

Q: storing UIViews into NSMutableArray Is it possible to store dynamically created UIViews into an NSMutableArray? This question suddenly occurred to me. Have any one done it before?

A: Is possible, Why wouldn't work? ;)
All views are objects. NSObject>UIResponder>UIView
But why would you need to store your views in an array? You can get all subviews of a certain view by doing:
NSArray *arrayOfView = [view subviews];
//also:
NSMutableArray *mutableArrayOfView = [[view subviews] mutableCopy];

You actually don't need to store them, they are already stored for you ;)

A: everything that inherits from NSObject can be stored in NS(Mutable)Array.
use the class browser in the Project Menu to see that literally everything inherits from NSObject.

With the UK in a furious debate over the government's budget cuts, the US in panic mode and Europe still hanging on by a thin thread it's down to the rest of the world to pull us back to the surface. But can it be done?
Nick Clegg has today come out in defence of the recently criticised government budget, stating that the IFS (Institute for Fiscal Studies) displayed only a 'partial review' of the document. Ironically, the Labour party backed the IFS's analysis. The IFS has called the plans 'regressive', noting that the poorest will be hit the hardest. However, in my opinion, what we are witnessing is more tell tail signs of a high school debate, rather than a heads down approach to tackling the enormous deficit this country is currently faced with. Due to the backlash, we would have expected Sterling to drop on the face of this news. However, read on and you will see we are not the only ones in a spot of bother. The GBP / USD rate as of GMT 1050 was 1.5529 whilst the GBP / EUR rate stood at 1.2227.
If we were searching for some kind of saviour to leap out of the blue and save the tumbling Dollar we may have to wait a touch longer. A futile day in the US yesterday revealed more negative data with durable goods and home sales both nose diving by 3.8% and 12.4% respectively. Given the current trends, investors made rapid movements, switching funds into the Swiss Franc and the Japanese Yen. Obviously to the Japanese governments dismay… The US will try to claw back some of the losses seen yesterday as jobless data is released. Hopes are that the rises will soon begin to slow. However, given the surprises of recent weeks I wouldn't be holding my breath.
My initial question, judging by the market news of today is can Europe provide us with any sparks of inspiration? Well, after Ireland's downgrade by Standard and Poor's it appears the waves of recrimination are taking its toll on the euro zone. Greek and Portuguese bonds have taken a battering, reigniting fear of capital flight on the continent. However, once again, Germany has stepped up to the plate with business confidence increasing to levels surpassing those seen in the past three years. So, in answer to my initial question, the answer is no… I can't sit here and gloss over the fact that the three major economies discussed are having a tough time of it. Oh well, at least its Friday tomorrow. The EUR / USD rate as of GMT 1050 was 1.2703.


Is Brick and Mortar Retail Making a Comeback?
If you have been paying attention to business headlines lately, you might have heard that traditional brick and mortar retail is dead. The past year saw a flurry of retailers closing down hundreds of stores across the country. The advent of online shopping seemed to have finally put in-store retail out of business for good. But has it really? Here is what Global Resources LLC consultants had to say.
According to data compiled by the National Retail Foundation, the number of physical retail stores in the US actually grew in 2017 at a rate of 2.7 new stores per store that closed. Vend, the retail management firm, predicts that a type of shopping called "cherish" will actually keep retail in business for much longer than initially assumed.
Vend identified two different types of shopping: chore and cherish. Chore shopping, as the name suggests, is shopping for essential items that isn't much fun. For example, every household has a list of things to buy monthly, like detergent or toilet paper. Consumers want to get chore shopping done as quickly as possible. For this reason, many are turning to online retailers like Amazon that offer quick and easy options like one-tap ordering and automatic renewals for recurring purchases. Services like same-day delivery and voice-assisted ordering make the process more convenient for customers.
The second type of shopping known as cherish occurs when customers spend time looking for a high-quality product and might even enjoy the process of browsing through goods. Items that consumers don't necessarily need but still enjoy, such as designer clothing and stylish furniture, lead to cherish shopping. These shopping experiences are hard to replicate online. Buying clothes online is still a largely skeptical process. Consumers are not always certain about the size, color or quality of clothes they buy online. You can't feel the fabric or compare two items of clothing when shopping online. E-stores fall short on delivering cherish shopping experiences, and this is where brick and mortar stores are performing the strongest. Local boutiques and niche stores are still going strong thanks to top-notch cherish shopping experiences.
Online shopping cannot replace every aspect of in-store shopping, at least not yet. Market observers from GR-US.com strongly recommend small local retail stores to focus on offering prized cherish shopping experiences to stay ahead. For example, personalization, app-assisted shopping, and unique products only found in-store are some suggestions that can help improve in-store sales.
Without a strong team, your business will suffer. With a strong team, your business will soar. It's important for you to be able to not only attract/hire GREAT employees but also to keep them happy in their respective roles.
In today's day and age, you likely have digital information and assets that need protection. Due to a plethora of online threats, web security absolutely needs to be a top priority of yours.
Content marketing is essentially nothing without an audience to absorb the information. Global Resources LLC consultants advise you to conduct the proper research and take time to significantly build your audience in less than five years.
It's important to not only examine customer reviews, but also to appropriately act on some of them in order to improve your product or service. Furthermore, customer reviews provide great opportunities for you to spruce up some of your pages with user-generated content.
While maintaining your books is an integral part of any business, many entrepreneurs do not possess the time or experience necessary to take hold of all matters accounting. Do your best to find a reliable subcontractor/organization to whom you can outsource. Check out Global Resources Reviews to learn more.
As time moves along, technology changes. As technology changes, new social media opportunities present themselves.
With this, comes the prediction that less than half of teens will be active on Facebook this year. Thus, if you rely on Facebook to reach the younger demographics (ages 12 to 17), you may want to strongly reconsider your marketing strategy.
While Facebook is certainly not dead (in fact, it may be wise to remain on Facebook to market to older generations now), there are other, more relevant social media outlets to where you should be turning your attention in order to connect with those younger generations.
Well, for one, Global Resources LLC consultants recommend having both Instagram and Snapchat as cornerstones of your marketing strategy. Both social media apps will be adding nearly 2 million users under the age of 25 in 2018.
Generally speaking, it's important for your business to stay on top of the trends. There may come a time very soon when Instagram and Snapchat are phased out as the most popular social media apps to be on. We tend to see kids moving away from what's most popular amongst their parents.
As a small business owner, take time to study the social media trends and shifts in technology. Ultimately, you want to make sure you are reaching the right groups of people.
As telecommuting and remote work is on the rise, you may be starting to see a significant shift in how you hire employees.
If you haven't already gotten to this point, there is no doubt that you will have to deal with it, on some level, in the near future. Unsurprisingly, remote work has boomed by over 115% over the last decade and will continue to grow in the upcoming years. Check out Global Resources Reviews to learn more.
One of the most interesting facts is that telecommuting is largely popular amongst all demographics. Roughly 50% of telecommuters are over the age of 45, with approximately an equal split between both males and females.
Despite the contentious viewpoint that working from home is for lower-level jobs or moderately incompetent workers, it actually provides for a great deal of productivity and growth through technological advances and development. There are many benefits for both the employee and the company, with drastic financial savings (forth both parties) at the forefront.
With the myriad of benefits, there are always, of course, sets of challenges. In growing your business and increasing productivity/profits, you're going to have to know how to manage your remote team.
Global Resources LLC consultants recommend the following three tips to managing your telecommuters.
In order for telecommuting to be productive, time-sensitive, and cost-efficient, you are going to have to promote a culture of accountability. Using the right software, you can track time and progress. Having said that, the best way to deal with remote workers is to promote honesty and transparency. This will give your employees a feeling of both trust and responsibility.
Furthermore, you may want to consider offering employee incentives to track their time and monitor productivity. Perhaps you can hold competitions for employee efficiency, which will empower your team by giving them full autonomy over their workload.
Whether you're all packed into the same physical space or spread out around the world, team bonding and communication is paramount and is an integral facet of success. While there are many ways to promote this, open communication and chatting works really well in a remote capacity.
While it will take, at least, a few months before your team gets the hang of how things work in a remote setting, you can expedite the learning process by scheduling regular in-person meetings. In doing so, you will building an aura of chemistry and help to get all employees on the same page. While this may not be cheap, you will undoubtedly see an immediate positive ROI.
Telecommuting has grown dramatically over the last decade and will continue to boom into the ensuing years. As a business owner, make sure you're staying ahead of the curve by understanding the ins and outs of remote work. This will help you scale your business and remain competitive.
As you scroll through just about any social media feed, it doesn't take long to see the various ways video marketing is being used to draw attention to a business or mission.It is no secret that marketing videos will improve your sales. In fact, many people believe that video marketing has a higher ROI than any other medium. Informative branded videos, for example, tend to be very engaging, which can significantly improve your digital marketing plan. With branded videos, you can find ways to be creative and unique.
Do not waste time with a long introduction. Rather, make it quick and captivating.
If your customers feel like you're trying to mislead them, it will not bode well for you. It's important for you to be candid and clear.
If the content of your video is useful, you'll start to develop a sense of trust between yourself and your audience.
Don't drag this out. Deliver a brief, albeit compelling narrative for your viewers.
It's important for you to post your videos in areas other than on your website or YouTube. Conduct some research in order to identify which platforms work best for you (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.). Check out Global Resources Reviews to learn more.
Consider the idea that video marketing isn't about being a salesman. You have very limited time to grab your audience's attention. Generate a plan, make it engaging, and tell your story.
Physically Organize the Office – Most small businesses have switched to storing files and tools digitally. But some things cannot be digitized. If your small business office still has papers or equipment all over the place, it's time to get everything physically organized. Label and place items neatly so that it's easy for employees to find things when they need to. It will cut back on time wasted looking for misplaced items. Plus, a neat-looking office improves job satisfaction.
Manage Customer Support Better – Customer support usually consumes a good chunk of company resources and employee time. Therefore, this is an area that can always be improved for better performance throughout the year. Global Resources LLC consultants do not advise small businesses to automate or digitize customer relations. However, some of the support structure that facilitates organic interactions can be automated to save time and money.
Plan Digital Marketing Campaigns Early in the Year – Does your business have big marketing plans for upcoming holidays such Memorial Day? Then start planning for these campaigns now. Begin by evaluating how the past campaigns went and what changes should be made this year. Brainstorming for new ideas should start early so marketers can fine-tune initial ideas. Starting early also keeps budgets reasonable. Encourage your marketing team to come up with an overall plan for campaigns the company needs to spend on during the rest of the year.
Track Expenses Weekly – Most small businesses struggle to manage expense reports. It can be quite a hassle. We suggest simplifying this process by tracking expenses on a weekly basis to compile reports instead of waiting for the month to pass. There are software tools businesses can utilize for this. Global Resources Reviews can provide tailor-made suggestions for small businesses looking to better manage internal finances.
Last but not least, use automation software, apps, and other tech tools to cut down time-consuming tasks and improve overall efficiency. Think seriously about investing in cloud-based programs to ease organization on individual employee levels.
Is the New Amazon Go Store the Future of Retail?
Amazon, the massive online retailer, recently opened a physical store in Seattle. But this is no regular retail store. There are no checkouts inside and not even one cashier. This seemingly automated store is attracting a great deal of attention for obvious reasons. How is Amazon running a store without checkout counters? Is this a glimpse into the future? Can small businesses learn anything from it? Our Global Resources LLC consultants weigh in below.
The Amazon Go store is powered mainly by two things: a smartphone app and a state-of-the-art camera system. The store's ceiling is covered with dozens of high-tech cameras that can track customers and their movements. These are not mere anti-shoplifter cameras. The camera system can identify the products customers put in their grocery bags (there are no shopping carts because there's no physical checkout). When a customer picks an item off the shelf and puts it in their bag, the sophisticated system is capable of placing the same item in the virtual shopping cart of the Amazon Go app. If the customer puts an item back on the shelf, the system automatically removes it.
Customers can enter the store by using their Amazon Go smartphone app. The products they pick up are billed to the app's account when customers leave the store. There is no stopping for swiping cards or for security.
However, the Amazon Go store is not entirely without human employees. Though the cashier jobs are gone, there are human employees who provide technical assistance to customers. The store also has employees who restock shelves and prepare fresh food items.
The Go store is undoubtedly innovative and novel. But is it a sustainable model? We can find out when the store goes public this month in Seattle. While small businesses may not be able to afford the type of technology that powers the Amazon Go store, there is an important lesson to learn from it. The Go store may be creating buzz for its tech sophistication. But customers visit for their convenience. The store has effectively eliminated a major pain point for customers—waiting.
Customers can walk in, pick up whatever they want, and leave. Because there is no cashier or checkout counter to worry about, it's very easy to spend a lot of money inside. It facilitates freewheeling spending while also offering realistic solutions to the common problems faced in the checkout process. Even if high-tech is out of budget for small businesses, Amazon Go offers an important lesson in making the purchasing process pain-free.
Does your business have pain points that prevent customers from spending as much as they'd like to? Some of our Global Resources Reviews can help your small business identify the problem.
Influencer marketing is becoming more and more prominent, especially in 2018. In 2017, as many as 63 percent of digital marketing departments increased money allocation for influencer marketing alone, according to Bloglovin. There are several reasons for the rise of influencer marketing. One big reason is Generation Z. The youngest of consumers are not swayed easily by other forms of marketing such as video or content. They are most likely to make a purchase if their favorite celebrity has endorsed it.
Influencer marketing is also driven by the fact that platforms like Facebook are veering away from promoted posts. Instead of brands creating and promoting content, it's easier to get an influencer to directly promote the brand.
The Influencer Must Reach Your Target Audience – When you look for influencer endorsements, don't look for celebs with the most number of followers. What really matters is whether the influencer has a large number of people from your brand's target audience following them. Therefore, find influencers who directly reach out to your target audience, regardless of how their overall followings are.
Find Influencers Who Can Drive Traffic – Once you have paid an influencer, there should be demonstrable benefits with incoming traffic. At first, it can be difficult to find influencers who are effective. To overcome this obstacle, analyze traffic generated by influencer posts. Then your brand will be able to isolate the most effective influencers and increase ROI.
Not All Influencers are Mega Celebrities – Keep in mind that all influencers are not Hollywood A-list celebrities. There are also micro influencers that your brand can benefit from. Micro influencers are regular people with massive social media followings. They may not be actors or singers, but rather everyday vloggers, podcasters, and Instagrammers. As long as these micro influencers have significant followings that reflect your target audience, they could be immensely advantageous for your brand. Plus, these influencers cost less.
Influencer marketing is getting more and more important in the current consumer market landscape. Therefore, go grab and influencer before the competition does. To learn more about improving your brand's marketing tactics, go to GR-US.com.
Are Business Credit Cards Different from Regular Credit Cards?
Business Credit Cards Come with Higher Credit Limits—Business and personal credit cards function technically the same way. However, business credit cards have a different set of finances associated with them. Mainly, these cards are designed to receive and send massive payments that come with doing business. Therefore, you can get steeper credit limits with business credit cards. Of course, higher credit limits also allow business owners to improve credit scores faster.
Business Credit Cards Affect Two Credit Scores—When you use a personal credit card, you can improve (or ruin) only one credit score, your personal one. However, when you use a business credit card, it affects not only the credit score of your business but the owner's personal one as well. That's all the more reason to use business credit cards responsibly.
Consumer Protection Only Covers Personal Credit Cards—The Credit Card Act of 2009 introduced new laws to protect consumers who use personal credit cards. Under these laws, consumers can expect certain disclosures, limits of fees the issuer can charge, and so on. It's important to note that the same protections don't apply to business credit cards. For example, if you miss a payment on a business credit card, the card company can charge higher than average late fees on a business credit card. Though credit card companies may practice good faith lending, it's important to understand that protections are not legally enforced.
The above points are the key differences between business and personal credit cards. These reasons illustrate why small business owners should not use personal credit cards for any business purposes. GR-US.com consultants can help small businesses, especially family-run companies, separate business and personal finances, and take advantage of business credit cards.
What will Make Small Businesses Successful in 2018?
Great Work Environments – Successful businesses are often the most successful recruiters. In recent years, businesses that succeeded were the companies that were most innovative. Innovation is driven by employees. The business environment in most fields is currently highly competitive. So the most talented employees can be easily whisked away by bigger players. Small businesses can retain employees by creating a great work environment. This not only means creating a physically pleasant and (importantly) quiet office to work in. It also means building a great company culture where everyone is respected.
Compete with Legacy Brands Online – The past few years saw legacy brands that once dominated store shelves remarkably lose influence thanks to the rise of e-commerce. Now even the smallest player can go head-to-head with a big name because there are no slotting fees on e-stores. Therefore, if small businesses want to be successful in 2018, they should focus intensely on increasing online sales, including mobile sales.
Make Unboxing an Experience – Customers are increasingly posting videos of "unboxing" shipped items bought online. Brands can take advantage by making this unboxing event an experience. Most brands are already investing in designing the box and thinking about what the customer sees when they open it. Creating a great unboxing experience is a good way to promote products and brands on social media. It also drives word-of-mouth marketing. As brands are increasingly getting evaluated based on how many customer mentions there are on social media, making investments in things like unboxing experiences is a sound strategy.
Focusing on Efficiency – Modern companies are structuring the internal work environments to focus on efficiency and innovation. This means forgetting the timesheets and offering employees flexible hours. The aim is to allow employees to work as they like, as long as the intended results are delivered. Small businesses with small workforces can easily offer flexible hours to motivate employees to be more efficient and to get more things done.

(Including some debate at the end of this message)
Gene Douglas works with prisoners, many of whom are beset with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He has his challenges in delivering these procedures, of course, because gaining rapport is sometimes difficult with this population. Some of my own experiences with prisoners and rapport are given on our web site in my articles entitled Rapport in the Prison System and Jewels in the Junkyard.
In his message below, Gene uses the term "cure" regarding many of his PTSD cases. In conventional circles this is often a no-no word. While the reasons vary, the essence of the resistance is that PTSD is considered incurable by those who have never had true success with it (i.e. most conventional practitioners). Thus, to use the word "cure" is to, presumably, hold out false hope to the afflicted. It borders on unethical behavior and charlatanism to those that have never cured a single case of PTSD.
Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with the word "cure." Seems pretty accurate to me. Besides, what else should we call it when the problem goes away and doesn't come back? If it wasn't for the disbelievers, I think "cure" would be right on. But to appease the disbelievers (until they have more evidence), how about these acronyms....? (smile)
PSPN=Possible Suspension of the Problem for NowAHS=Apparent Hibernation of the Symptoms
Maybe we should just call it Luck or Magic--anything but "cure." Geez!
Enough! Gene also demonstrates a creative method for backing off and then sneaking up on an intense PTSD issue. I think you will find his message important.
by Gene Douglas
I get so used to "miraculous" cures, I almost forget to mention them. I have cured a number of cases of PTSD in single sessions. One early case was of a woman who was riding in a taxi in Washington DC, and a bullet struck the window of the cab. Had it not been defective, and nearly spent, it would have hit her in the neck.
She had been experiencing symptoms of PTSD for months, and we removed them in a few minutes. Since then, a number of PTSD cases have come and gone, many quickly successful.
At the prison where I work, there is a veteran who is getting out in about a month. I consider him a great American, that we owe a lot to, though for now he is considered "nothing but a convict."
About a year ago, I saw him for a symptom of some kind, probably insomnia. At the time, I didn't know his history. I treated him for regret at getting himself into prison. Somebody had threatened to kill him, had driven a truck up into his driveway and was walking toward his door. He killed the person, and learned later that that was not self-defense.
I also treated him for some feelings in regard to a traffic accident in Viet Nam, and didn't hear from him for about a year. Recently, he came back, with more symptoms, including insomnia and nightmares, of the recurring, repeating variety. He had that drugged-out PTSD look they get when the doctors load them up on tranquilizers to mask their feelings.
We tried EFT and TAT, but his feelings were so strong that he was unable to continue, just thinking about the events, including being a prisoner of war and being tortured. He showed me some pretty bad scars, including a stab wound in his abdomen, from torture.
I backed up, and addressed his being drafted at age 19. No strong feelings. Training, just excitement and anticipation. Further trainings, and eventually Ranger training. Excitement and anticipation. Leaving for Viet Nam, the same. Arriving in Viet Nam, excitement and fear, a 10 for each.
We treated, the fear went to zero, and the excitement remained a 10. He told me some stories, and the session was ended. A week later, he was having nightmares, but not so many. I treated his getting on a helicopter for the first time, 10 to zero. Arriving at the battle scene, 10 to zero. Beginning the first battle, 10 to zero. End of the battle, a zero. Living with a small group in the bush for six months, and evading detection, zero, while the previous week it had been way up there. Being captured, zero. Being tortured, zero.
His explanation was that it had been so long, it didn't matter any more.
GC COMMENT: This is a classic example of the Apex effect.
I thought he was just suppressing, and expected to see strong feeling again, as he had shown before. Those two sessions, I also noticed his miming my hand gestures, without his noticing that he was doing that.
A week later, he said the nightmares were gone, he was sleeping better, and said the thought of those scenes didn't bother him, because it was so long ago. For the first time, I could see emotion in his face and voice, and the flat, dead affect was gone. That, together with the absent nightmares, seemed to be my best evidence of improvement. A week later we met again, and it was the same. He was scheduled to see the psychiatrist after that, and I am wondering if his meds will be reduced.
I expect to see him as much as possible, simply because he will be getting out soon, and the treatment out there may not be as effective as he seems to be getting now. PTSD used to be considered incurable, and when I was using EMDR, feelings would shoot through the roof and the client would quit.
However, in this case, I "sneaked up on it" by addressing the least stressful aspect first, and gradually approaching the more stressful aspects after some treatment was already done. I had done something similar a year earlier, in addressing starting out on the road the day of the accident, getting close to the accident scene, and so forth. That gradual strategy was successful then, and also in this latter case.
Gene Douglas
Note: A debate ensued regarding the word "cure".
Here are two important responses from that debate.
FROM ERIC ROBINS, M.D.
Dear Gary,
Perhaps my M.D. credentials can add some light to the dialog you are having regarding the word "cure."
In standard medicine, when dealing with the majority of the cancers, if a person is disease free for 5 years, this in most cases is considered a cure. I'm not sure why cases of psychologic healing are held to a different standard.
I have personally dealt with at least 4 cases of PTSD, and numerous cases of long term abuse. In each case, after 1-2 sessions of EFT all of their symptoms were gone. In fact, with many of these cases, the patients' physical complaints diminished or disappeared after clearing up the emotional aspects. I have over one year followup on these patients, with no recurrence of symptoms, either physical or psychological.
I believe that for true psychologic change to occur, the change must happen at the unconscious level. For me, I know I am working at the unconscious level by asking the person where they feel the trauma or the emotions IN THEIR BODY. I then know that I have cleared the problem at the unconscious level when the person cannot feel the trauma or emotions in their body as they once did. This is a far cry from talk therapy, where most change is made at the conscious level. With conscious changes, the person my try to think or cognize differently, but there is little change in the way the client feels the problem in their body.
EFT is one of very few modalities that causes a true and lasting PHYSIOLOGIC change in the body. It has been a welcome addition to my practice of standard medicine.
Sincerely, Eric Robins, MD
FROM DAVID PEPPIATT
Yesterday, I attended my 50th 'client'. (a mile-stone of sorts). She's 19-years old and three days ago was raped by her boyfriend. He also attempted to break both of her arms. He forced her left eyelids open and held a live cigarette lighter close to her eyeball. He attempted to strangle her, then sodomised her then, just for drill, he beat her face to a pulp. She came to me, a complete mess (hardly surprising) as a result of my helping her mother through some serious issues.
My first words were...Mikaela, if I help you no jury in the land will convict this man because you will be incapable of evincing 'any' emotional import to what he did to you. And so, if revenge is your immediate need it would be better if you filed a complete police report, waited for the trial, and then I can help you off-load your agony. She replied, with tears and mucous streaming down her battered face, a result of incohate agony, "Make 'it' (the pain) go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And so I did. I worked with Mikaela, blow-by-blow, indignity-by-indignity. assault-by-assault, agony-by-agony. For the thick end of three long hours we went to every nuance, every apsect....believe me there were heaps of subjective/supportive aspects from her childhood.... till we got every one of them from tens to zeros.
I called on Mikaela this morning, for a follow-up. Her comment was, "You know David, I feel really sorry for Paul (the rapist). How much shit do you think is on his head? Do you think you can help him?"
Every little moment of the entire episode is still with her, yet her pain has gone, and she feels genuinely sorry for her rapist! Nar! Can't have been EFT. It must have been something in the water she didn't drink.

From Eden to Babylon
The Michmash Miracles
Armageddon Revelations
Doctors at War
Just released! Available on Amazon, Kindle and Paperback!
The story begins in World War 1 in Maltese hospitals and in Salonika where the British and their allies are fighting the Macedonians. Two doctors meet and clash. She was trained in Edinburgh in the times when lady doctors were despised and mistrusted and had to fight for their status and respect and she became an active Suffragette. He was trained in The Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin and in nearby hospitals. Both doctors were strongly opinionated and passionate about their calling and a collision of personalities was inevitable. Under these circumstances their eventual achievements of creating not one but two doctor's practices in London as well as producing a daughter were minor miracles!
Action then takes place in World War 2 in the Blitz, in the code breaking world of Bletchley Park and the Battle of the Atlantic and finally in the terrible Battle of Kohima against the Japanese.


When you arrive at Coco Lezzone; you will be received with a smile. The rooms are small and minimal, with white tablecloths and small flowerpots which decorate the tables where everyone sits together. The lights are bright and there isn't any exotic atmosphere, everything feels like the typical 1800's household. You'll then start your journey back in time through the ancient flavors and tastes. You will rediscover the tastes almost lost through history of the Italian grandmother's kitchen's.
Only traditional dishes are served, true and genuine, in which every detail of the cooking process is very accurate and absolutely original in the recipe and choice of the ingredients. On Thursday the dish of the day is tripe, which you can order for a first course as the zuppa di lampredotto, a special spicy vegetable soup, or if you prefer, the Florentine tripe, in tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. On Friday the tradition commands fish, and they serve traditional cod fish in tomato sauce or squid with vegetables, best with garbanzo beans on the side. If you'd like to eat a fantastic, rare, real florentine steak, it's suggested that you call in to reserve it a day before.

Q: Validity of pointers to internal data structure when reallocating a std::vector object Assume there is a class A that contains a vector of ints. Now assume that a vector of A's is created. If a reallocation of an A object occurs (so the vector object is moved) due to a push_back for example, will pointers to the ints themselves remain valid? Is this guaranteed?
To clarify:
class A {
public:
    A() {};
    std::vector<int> a = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
};

int main()
{
    std::vector<A> aVec(2);

    int *x1 = &(aVec[1].a[2]);
    A *x2 = &aVec[1];
    std::cout << x1 << " - " << x2 << " - " << aVec.capacity() << "\n";

    aVec.resize(30);

    int *y1 = &(aVec[1].a[2]);
    A *y2 = &aVec[1];
    std::cout << y1 << " - " << y2 << " - " << aVec.capacity() << "\n";
}

Running this code gives this:
0x1810088 - 0x1810028 - 2
0x1810088 - 0x18100c8 - 30

so it shows that the pointers remain valid. But I want to make sure that this is guaranteed and not just a chance thing. I'm leaning towards saying that this is guaranteed since the vector's internal data is dynamically allocated, but, again, just wanted to check.
I have looked here [ Iterator invalidation rules ] but it doesn't consider this specific case (i.e. reallocation of the vector object itself).
UPDATE:
I tried this to check what I wrote in the comments for Jarod42's answer:
std::vector<std::vector<int>> aVec(2, {1,2,3});

int *x1 = &(aVec[1][2]);
std::vector<int> *x2 = &aVec[1];
std::cout << x1 << " - " << x2 << " - " << aVec.capacity() << "\n";

aVec.resize(30);

int *y1 = &(aVec[1][2]);
std::vector<int> *y2 = &aVec[1];
std::cout << y1 << " - " << y2 << " - " << aVec.capacity() << "\n";

and got this:
0x16f0098 - 0x16f0048 - 2
0x16f0098 - 0x16f00c8 - 30

which is strange to me. I expected x2==y2.

A: It would depend of your move constructor of A.
but as it (*), it will use move constructor of vector<int> for a, and according to http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/vector/vector/vector/

[..] no elements are constructed (their ownership is directly transferred).

So pointers to the ints themselves remain valid.
Edit: (*) A should be noexcept for that, and std::vector is not guaranteed to be noexcept.

A: Your A elements will be moved where possible, and A has an implicit move constructor and implicit move assignment operator, so the member vector will also be moved.
Now, moving a vector is not necessarily equivalent to a.swap(b), so you cannot rely on the implicit move functions if you want a guarantee; you could write your own.
But whether you guarantee it yourself or obtain a guarantee by looking up the code of your particular standard library implementation, you can be assured that pointers and iterators to the individual elements shall remain valid:

[C++11: 23.2.1/8]: The expression a.swap(b), for containers a and b of a standard container type other than array, shall exchange the values of a and b without invoking any move, copy, or swap operations on the individual container elements. [..]

A: Unfortunately this is not guaranteed.  That being said, it is the case that all 3 current implementations (libc++, libstdc++ and VS-2015) appear to guarantee it.  The question is whether or not the move constructor for A is noexcept:
static_assert(std::is_nothrow_move_constructible<A>::value, "");

The move constructor for A is compiler supplied, and thus dependent upon the move constructor of std::vector<int>.  If the move constructor of std::vector<int> is noexcept, then the move constructor for A is noexcept, else it is not.
The current draft N4296 does not mark the move constructor for vector as noexcept.  However it allows implementations to do so.
This line:
aVec.resize(30);

Will use A's move constructor if that move constructor is noexcept, else it will use A's copy constructor.  If it uses A's copy constructor, the location of the ints will change.  If it uses A's move constructor, the location of the ints will remain stable.
libc++ and libstdc++ mark vector's move constructor as noexcept.  And thus give A a noexcept move constructor.
VS-2015 says that A does not have a noexcept move constructor:
static_assert(std::is_nothrow_move_constructible<A>::value, "");

does not compile.
Nevertheless, VS-2015 does not reallocate the ints to a new address, and thus it looks like it is not conforming to the C++11 spec.
If one changes the libc++ headers such that the vector move constructor is not marked noexcept, then the ints do indeed reallocate.
Recent discussions on the committee indicate that everyone is in favor of marking the move constructor of vector noexcept (and maybe basic_string too, but not other containers).  So it is possible that a future standard will guarantee the stability you seek.  In the meantime, if:
static_assert(std::is_nothrow_move_constructible<A>::value, "");

compiles, then you have your guarantee, else you don't.
Update
The reason that x2 != y2 in the update is that these are the addresses of vector<int> in the vector<vector<int>>.  These inner elements had to find a new (bigger) buffer to live in, just the same as if the inner element was int.  But unlike int, the inner element vector<int> could move there with a move constructor (int had to copy).  But whether moving or copying, the address of the inner element had to change (from the small old buffer to the big new buffer).  This behavior is consistent with the original part of the question (where the inner element is also shown to change addresses).
And yes, LWG 2321 is involved, though not a contentious point.  In my answer I've already assumed LWG 2321 has passed.  There's really no other way for things to happen aside from overly eager debugging iterators to gratuitously (and incorrectly) invalidate themselves.  Non-debugging iterators would never invalidate, and neither will pointers or references.
Wish I had the ability to easily create an animation with arrows to buffers.  That would be really clear.  I just don't know how to easily do that in the time I have available.


The days pass by swiftly – and the years too – and we have been fortunate to learn a very valuable lesson: – that there is nothing more important in our lives than being close to Jesus. Some things are meant to come and go, but we must always stay close to Jesus. What is our attraction to the Blessed Sacrament but the amazing things that have passed between us and Jesus when we were so close to Him! And Mary, our Mother, what is the secret of her unfathomable growth in holiness but closeness to Jesus (see References).
One way to draw closer to Jesus is to adore His holy wounds. The Passionist priest, Father Ignatius, says that "the lovers of Jesus Christ Crucified manifest their devotion and reverence for Him by tenderly kissing the Crucifix…." (p.40, The School of Jesus Crucified). He urges us to "daily adore the Wounds of your Redeemer" (p.229), and to "frequently kiss those adorable wounds with the liveliest sentiments of affection" (p.228). His chapter on devotion to the wounds of Jesus beginning on page 219 is instructive, and calculated to increase our closeness to Jesus. We know that our Lord's five wounds were still present on His resurrected body: these wounds, which Jesus took with Him to Heaven, "bear eternal testimony to His Infinite love for us, and are fountains of Charity…." (p. 219; see also for visual meditation The Divine Mercy Image).
"Let us, then," says Father Ignatius, "unite ourselves closely to the most holy Wounds of our Savior…." (p. 223). One quick and easy way to do this is to simply gaze upon your crucifix – and the holy wounds of Jesus – with love and devotion, just as the Hebrew people gazed upon the bronze serpent in the desert in order to be healed (see John 3:14). Once your meditative gaze upon Jesus crucified is over, and whatever words and sentiments have passed between you and Jesus have transpired, you can simply approach the crucifix and end this simple meditation by kissing Jesus' holy wounds. A simple meditation like this may only last a minute or two, but its value and merit are of profound significance.
References: In the first paragraph I am simply condensing and paraphrasing the beautiful words of Father Faber including his profound observations in The Foot of the Cross: The Sorrows of Mary, pages 12-123, on closeness to Jesus. There he states: "But there are moments when we get a transient glimpse in our own souls of what the habitual nearness of the Blessed Sacrament has done for us." It is Father Faber who reminds us that"Jesus belongs to us." I recommend Father Ignatius' book, The School of Jesus Crucified, as a good method to meditate on our Lord's Passion. By looking upon the bronze serpent, a symbol of Israel's sins, the Hebrew people were performing a healing and penitential act.

Find a Rehab Center for Klonopin
Klonopin is the brand name of clonazepam, a benzodiazepine commonly prescribed to treat seizures, panic attacks, and anxiety. Like many drugs in the benzodiazepine class, Klonopin can be habit-forming even for those who take it as prescribed.
Suddenly quitting Klonopin can result in severe and potentially fatal withdrawal symptoms. 3 Professional substance abuse treatment can help minimize the risks of relapse.
Klonopin can be therapeutic in the short-term. But long-term use poses significant health risks as well as psychological and social problems.
Quitting Klonopin can help a user avoid a number of serious and possibly life-threatening consequences: 6
Overdose. Users who combine Klonopin with other substances, such as alcohol, put themselves at increased risk of overdose and even death.
Interpersonal problems. Klonopin abuse is associated with behavioral changes and poor judgment. People who abuse Klonopin may be more likely to get into arguments and fights, damaging their relationships in the process.
Risks to health. Klonopin intoxication slows reaction times and impairs coordination, and can lead to accidental injuries and automobile accidents.
Legal problems. People who abuse Klonopin and get into fights or accidents may be more likely to suffer legal consequences.
Relying on a substance. Many people who abuse Klonopin struggle with anxiety or insomnia. Learning how to manage these conditions without drugs can free someone from having to depend on a substance to sleep or be at ease.
Quit Klonopin Today
Who Answers? to get help finding Klonopin recovery centers in your area.
Quitting Klonopin without medical supervision can be uncomfortable and, in some cases, dangerous. Attempting to quit on your own can be life-threatening and may increase your risk of relapse. Seeking professional treatment can keep you safe and help improve your chances of long-term recovery and sobriety.
Treatment programs and therapies available for Klonopin addiction include:
Inpatient treatment: Inpatient rehab takes place in a residential facility on a 24/7 basis for a designated period of time, typically ranging from 30 days to 90 days. However, inpatient can last from several months to a year or more in severe cases. Inpatient treatment allows users to focus exclusively on their recovery in an environment free of the stresses and triggers of the outside world.
Outpatient treatment: Outpatient treatment generally includes many of the same services as inpatient rehab programs, but care takes place on a part-time basis. This option may be better for those with less severe addictions or those who wish to remain active in their careers or family lives during treatment.
Group counseling: Group counseling offers the support of peers who are fighting similar battles. It may also include family and friends whose lives have been affected by the addiction.
Individual counseling: Individual counseling and therapy helps users address any underlying emotional or psychological problems that may be contributing to their addiction. Since Klonopin is commonly prescribed for anxiety, cognitive behavioral techniques are often used to help users learn to cope with anxiety without medication. 3
12-step programs: Twelve-step programs offer peer support and structure to help maintain sobriety in the long-term.
Recovery from Klonopin addiction is an ongoing process that continues well after initial treatment has been completed. Because it is significantly more difficult to remain sober outside of the treatment environment, people in recovery should have a solid aftercare program to help them manage day-to-day life without drugs.
There are many forms of aftercare treatment, including:
Sober living communities: Sober living communities offer people in recovery a safe, supportive, drug-free environment with peers who are also in recovery. These communities often offer relapse prevention programs, counseling, job placement assistance, and recreational activities for residents.
12-step programs and support groups: Twelve-step programs and support groups are ongoing programs that extend well beyond treatment. Many people in recovery continue going on a weekly basis for years after they have completed rehab.
Outpatient visits: Outpatient visits with a physician or a psychiatrist can help recovering Klonopin users maintain sobriety and health in the long-term.
Counseling: Individual and group counseling programs can help recovering users continue to address problems related to their addiction.

Clonazepam Addiction Recovery
Abruptly stopping Klonopin use can lead to withdrawal symptoms as well as a return or "rebound" of anxiety, insomnia, or other issues. Within the first few days after quitting, some of the withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and medically supervised detox is recommended to account for this possibility.
When considering the full range of potential symptoms, the acute and post-acute withdrawal syndrome associated with benzodiazepines can last for days, weeks or, in some cases, months.
Some common symptoms of Klonopin withdrawal include: 1,2
Rebound anxiety.
Rebound insomnia.
Panic attacks.
New or worsening seizures.
Hallucinations.
Sweating.
Stomach cramps.
Muscle cramps.
Uncontrollable shaking.
Behavioral changes.
Withdrawal symptoms will vary depending on:
The dosage used and how often it was taken.
Duration of addiction.
Individual physiology.
Whether the person was abusing other drugs.
Treatment of Withdrawal
As mentioned above, users who are trying to detox from Klonopin should work with a physician. The physician may slowly lower the dosage over time to minimize withdrawal symptoms (also called "tapering") or prescribe you another non-addictive medication for anxiety, seizures, or insomnia.
Tapering involves administering lower and lower doses of Klonopin over time while monitoring the person for any medical complications.
Anti-hypertensive medications, including clonidine and propranolol, can also be prescribed to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
Anti-seizure medications can also be used to help control withdrawal symptoms.
Address the reasons you started using in the first place. Getting at the root of the problem can help prevent relapse. Many people use the drug to cope with anxiety. For these individuals, counseling and therapy can help them learn how to manage these symptoms without using Klonopin.
Get professional help. It can be difficult and medically unsafe to quit Klonopin alone. Seek professional help from physicians, psychiatrists, counselors, and other addiction professionals.
Find support. Having a solid support system is crucial to the recovery process. Locate support groups for people facing similar addictions and don't be afraid to call on your family and friends for support when you need it.
Try to avoid triggers. Many people, places, things, and experiences may trigger a desire to use Klonopin. When possible, avoid triggers to help prevent relapse. Inevitably, you will be faced with stress, so learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with it when it arises.
It can be incredibly difficult to watch a loved one suffer from Klonopin addiction. Friends and family of Klonopin addicts often want to help, but remain unsure of what to do.
Below are some tips for how you can help someone quit Klonopin and seek professional help: 5
Educate yourself on Klonopin addiction. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you will be to help.
Approach the person from a place of compassion and concern. Don't use blame, shame, or guilt.
Encourage the person to seek professional treatment. Try to dissuade the person from quitting alone.
Approach the person one-on-one before staging a group intervention. Find a private place, and don't talk to the person when he or she is intoxicated.
Offer help without enabling the person. Offer to support the person if he or she seeks treatment, but don't engage in behaviors that prolong the addiction, such as loaning money or covering for them.
Explain how the addictive behavior has personally affected you. Use "I" statements, such as, "I am worried about you" or "I get upset when you come home intoxicated."
Understand that relapse is common. Stay involved in the recovery process and offer ongoing support even after treatment ends.
Quitting Klonopin "cold turkey" or suddenly can be physically and emotionally problematic.
Medical complications. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe and seizures may occur, especially when use is stopped or decreased rapidly.
Cravings and relapse. Cravings can be difficult to resist during the withdrawal period because taking the drug can make the symptoms stop.
Mental health risks. Depression and suicidal thoughts may also occur during withdrawal, which can be life-threatening for some.
It is highly recommended for people attempting to quit Klonopin to do so under medical supervision. 3 The dose can be slowly tapered over time. Medically supervised detox also maximizes the chance of making a full and lasting recovery.

THE HOLIDAY WISDOM CHALLENGE « Cooking With Grandmothers Cooking with Grandmothers records, gathers, and shares the recipes, food traditions, and wisdom of female elders from around the world.
It's that time of year. People are gathering for the holidays. 2016 has been a bit rough. Up and down: hopeful, troubling, inspiring, uncertain. My holiday gift for you is the four question Holiday Wisdom Challenge (above), a short and inspiring way to connect with the women in your life, to glean valuable wisdom from their years of experience. The 'challenge' part of it: ask these questions of at least one older woman in the next two weeks. It's a great way to learn more about someone you are already close with, and it's an equally valuable way to bridge connection with someone you're not as comfortable with.
Some ideas for how to do this: Casually ask these questions of the woman sitting next to you at the holiday table. Or, sneak away to discuss with your mom, aunt, sister, or grandmother (or all of them together!) during a quiet moment. And, by all means, ask yourself the questions (or have a friend ask you). You may be surprised by just how much wisdom you already hold.
If you'd like, you can take notes on the printable PDF we made for you. Or, even better, get out your phone and record the women by video or audio. But, the main thing is to just ask. And...listen.
As an antidote to these tumultuous times, I am creating a Wisdom Collection on the Cooking with Grandmothers website. I'm going to kickstart it with the responses to this Holiday Wisdom Challenge. I'd love to include yours, so if you feel like sharing, just email along written notes, or a video or audio recording to: cookingwithgrandmothers@gmail.com by January 15th. Together we can make a difference.
I wish you all a smooth, cozy end to 2016. And, a joyful start to 2017.


style of the shoe is awesome but the shoe quality is not that much good how I expect from this product.
It doesn't seem like original.. may be a copy.
I had bought it for my mom, she loved it but the size was a bit small as I had booked it looking at the chart. I would suggest to buy the size you generally wear. Shoes is light weight and good for walking and jogging.
5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome.. Loved it..
Superb quality, light weight and comfy. Love the color combination as well. Fits perfectly. Worth the money.
Excellent product, worth every penny, but had to return due to size issues.

Highfive
Careers at Highfive
Highfive's mission is to transform every meeting room with modern, beautifully-designed technology that empowers people to get their best work done together.
Shan Sinha had significant experience in the collaboration software space – over 13 years' worth. As an employee at Google, he oversaw the delivery of cloud-based e-mail to clients. While there, he noticed the company primarily used video for communication – in fact, employees completed 20,000 video calls per day, with the average person using video 1-2 times a day. A light bulb went off.
Sinha believed that most companies used telephones for conference calls because existing video conferencing tools, including market leader Skype, were not robust or secure enough for business needs. Therefore, he decided to leave Google so he could begin developing a solution that would address this problem. In 2012 he founded the startup Parlay Labs with his colleague Jeremy Roy.
The pair spent the first few months garnering investments. The task was relatively simple due to Sinha's past work experience at Google and Microsoft; moreover, many investors felt the business communication field was overdue for some innovative products. The firm was able to raise $4 million in Series A funding, and the company used its capital to form its team, growing to eight people.
The group designed its product, intended to be a video conferencing device that incorporated cloud-based software. During this process, it shared its ideas with potential customers, both to get a sense of how big its market was and to obtain feedback on desired features. After two years the firm had built its solution and was ready for launch. Its name was officially changed to Highfive.

Business model of Highfive
Customer Segments
Highfive has a niche market business model, with a specialized customer segment. The company targets its offerings at small to mid-size businesses (firms with between 50 and 1000 employees).
Highfive offers five primary value propositions: convenience, pricing, performance, risk reduction, and brand/status.
The company creates convenience by simplifying customers' operations. It offers an all-in-one hardware/software solution, with the hardware including mics, camera, and CPU power to process audio and video together. It can be set up in minutes, without the need for a multipoint control unit. Meetings can be controlled from users' personal devices, be they PCs, tablets, or smartphones.
The company offers a pricing value proposition. Its subscription fees are priced per room with no per user fees. This means customers can have unlimited meetings and hosts, and do not have to worry about fees increasing as company or meeting size grows. In addition, Highfive offers potential users a free trial through which they can try its device for 30 days.
The company has demonstrated strong performance through tangible results. High-profile examples of positive outcomes for customers include the following:
Deskia used Highfive's solution to increase efficiency, leading to annual savings of $18,000
Von Drehle used Highfive's solution to cut travel, resulting in tens of thousands of dollar savings
Trunk Platform used Highfive's solution to lower hardware costs and increase time savings
The company reduces risk through high security standards. All calls on its system are 128-bit AES encrypted. Furthermore, its single sign-on and domain-based security features ensure that only employees can launch calls. Lastly, Highfive's website provides system operational status udpates.
The company has established a strong brand as a result of its performance. In its first year it experienced a 341% growth in its client base, and now serves more than 1,500 firms in over 55 countries. These include Evernote, Expensify, Rue Lala, and Mimeo. A survey of its customers found that they say that their meetings are 64% more enjoyable with its solution. It processes over a million minutes of calls per week. Lastly, it has won a number of honors, including recognition as one of the "10 Best Small Workplaces in Technology" by Fortune (2016) and as one of the "Best Workplaces" for Technology, Women, and Diversity by Great Places to Work (2015).
Highfive's main channels are its website and direct sales team. The company promotes its offering through its social media pages and participation in conferences.
Highfive's customer relationship is primarily of a self-service, automated nature.
Customers utilize the product and service while having limited interaction with employees. The company's website includes a "Resources" section with self-help tools such as white papers, reports, eBooks, slideshows, infographics, and webinars. The site also provides answers to frequently asked questions.
That said, there is a personal assistance component in the form of phone and e-mail support.
Highfive's business model entails designing and developing its hardware and software for clients.
Highfive utilizes third-party manufacturers for the production of its hardware. The company invites other firms to become distribution partners through an online form. No additional information is available about these partnerships.
Highfive's main resources are its human resources, who include the engineering employees that design and develop its software and hardware, the sales employees that promote it, and the customer service staff that provides support.
As a relatively new startup it has relied heavily on funding from outside parties, raising $45.4 million from 12 investors as of March 2015.
Highfive has a cost-driven structure, aiming to minimize expenses through significant automation.
Its biggest cost driver is likely sales/marketing, a fixed expense. Other major drivers are in the areas of product development, COGS and customer support/operations, both fixed costs.
Revenue Streams
Highfive has two revenue streams:
Product Revenues – Revenues the company generates from sales of its hardware device, which costs $799.
Subscription Revenues – Revenues the company generates from fees charged for access to its cloud service. Plan pricing is as follows:
Essential Plan - $99 per month per room, paid annually
Standard Plan - $149 per month per room, paid annually
Professional Plan - $199 per month per room, paid annually

Kathleen Finneran, who will talk to Sally Field for BookFest St. Louis, shares what's remarkable about the actor's new memoir
From the September 20th article on St. Louis Magazine:
When Kathleen Finneran floated the idea of interviewing Sally Field about the actress' new memoir In Pieces for BookFest St. Louis past organizer Kris Kleindienst, she says it was "partly in jest." Well, maybe it wasn't so much in jest, Finneran, the senior writer in residence at Washington University and author of the 2000 memoir The Tender Land, now reflects—Kleindienst thought it was a great idea. The actress and Finneran are now set to talk in An Evening with Sally Field, on Friday, September 21, at 7 p.m. at the Chase Park Plaza.
Field's memoir addresses a dark topic—the actress writes that her stepfather, actor Jock Mahoney, sexually abused her when she was a child. The idea of interviewing a celebrity would be nerve-wracking for a lot of writers. However, Finneran says, "there are some things in life that make me nervous, but this isn't one of them." To prep, she's been reading Field's book, of course, and "just trying to think of ways that I might speak to the writing of the book with Sally Field that will be exciting both to writers and readers," she says. "When I think of books, just by the nature of my profession, I think of them in terms of writing. So BookFest to me means a festival of writers, but you have to keep in mind BookFest to others means a festival of readers."
SLM talked to Finneran about Field's book, the BookFest panels she's looking forward to, what she's reading right now, and, of course, her favorite Sally Field movie.

When Pain Prevents Sports Performance!
Ireland 's most common sports are also some of the roughest and most physically taxing. It's no wonder many athletes in this country face problems like low back pain, pain between the shoulders, neck pain, hamstring and groin injuries, and back stiffness. Repeated impacts to the body can cause the bones of the spinal column to shift, placing a great deal of stress on the spinal joints and the nervous system, which is protected and housed within. These spinal misalignments can weaken the spinal joints, further aggravating the problem, and irritate the spinal nerves, causing pain and stiffness. If care is not taken, the pain and stiffness that athletes endure can progress and worsen over time. But it's not just about pain. The proper function of your spine and nervous system affects every aspect of your health.
Any imbalance in the spine is usually caused by a misalignment process and may be corrected, if tended to appropriately. Chiropractors are successful at treating spinal pain, stiffness, and sport injuries because attention is paid to correcting the cause of the problem. Restoring balance to spinal joints takes pressure off the nervous system, allowing the body to function optimally. Reducing pain and strengthening the nervous system allows athletes to perform at higher levels. If you are an athlete and you suffer from pain and/or stiffness, it is your body's way of telling you that there is an imbalance. If it is due to spinal misalignments, as in many cases it is, you may be a candidate for corrective Chiropractic care.

Catholic leaders voice concern over federal budget proposal

The federal budget proposal released by the Trump administration on Monday has been met with worry from U.S. bishops who stressed the need to protect the poor.
"Budget decisions ought to be guided by moral criteria that safeguard human life and dignity, give central importance to 'the least of these,' and promote the well-being of workers and families who struggle to live in dignity," read a statement released by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on Feb. 13.
"Yesterday, President Trump unveiled a budget plan, 'Efficient, Effective, Accountable: An American Budget,' that again calls for deep cuts to vital parts of government, including underfunding programs that serve the poor, diplomacy, and environment stewardship," the statement continued.
The bishops commended certain aspects of the budget request, which would prohibit organizations that perform abortions from receiving federal funding, and would pump $13 billion into fighting the opioid crisis. However, they also expressed concern on other aspects, including immigration enforcement and the boost in military spending.
The statement was signed by Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio of the USA Military Services, who chairs the bishops' Committee on International Justice and Peace, and Bishop Frank J. Dewane of Venice, Florida, who heads the Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development.
The proposal, which was sent to Congress Feb. 12, outlines a $4.4 trillion budget. It would boost military spending by $195 billion over the next two years, and cut federal entitlement programs, such as Medicaid, Medicare and food stamps, by $1.8 trillion. Some parts of the food stamp program would be replaced for eligible participants with a premade box of American-produced food items.
The new budget would also boost spending for infrastructure improvements and cut funding to the State Department and foreign aid. It would set aside $18 billion for border security, including build a wall on the southern border of Mexico and hiring additional border security personnel.
Through the budget, the administration projected an economic growth of 3.1 percent over the next three years. The New York Times reported that it would also add $984 billion to the federal deficit next year.
"We urge Congress — and every American — to evaluate the Administration's budget blueprint in light of its impacts on those most in need, and work to ensure a budget for our country that honors our obligations to build toward the common good," the bishops said.
International humanitarian agency Catholic Relief Services also criticized the new proposal.
Under the new budget, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) would have its funds cut by more than one-third, which would limit its capacity to provide food assistance and aid. The new policies would also slash food security spending by more than $1 billion, which would effectively throw out food aid programs and the Global Food Security Act.
"Humanitarian assistance provides life-saving aid; we cannot cut now, when 30 million people face famine," said Bill O'Keefe, the vice president of government relations and advocacy for Catholic Relief Services, in a Feb. 13 press release.
"At a time when hunger is increasing around the world, now is not the time to cut back on helping communities grow more food," O'Keefe continued, adding that "underfunding this area will only lead to more destabilizing food emergencies in the future."
He also pointed to the budget's cuts to microfinance, water, education, and anti-trafficking efforts, calling the proposal "short-sighted," and urging Congress to place more emphasis on food assistance and international aid in the 2018-2019 fiscal year.
"The United States is a generous nation that has led the global community in responding to catastrophe and providing opportunity to the poor and the marginalized," O'Keefe said.
"But even beyond the fundamental humanitarian and moral imperative to fund foreign aid, poverty-reducing international assistance is in the best interest of our country. Deep and disproportionate cuts to development aid and diplomacy will only exacerbate the problems we face today and leave a vacuum for new crises to fester tomorrow."

In White Bread, readers accompany Jessica on a journey into her family's past, into herself, and into the bicultural community she teaches but does not understand. Jessica, a fictional White fifth-grade teacher, is prompted to explore her family history by the unexpected discovery of a hundred-year-old letter. Simultaneously, she begins to grapple with culture and racism, principally through discussions with a Mexican American teacher. White Bread pulls readers into a tumultuous six months of Jessica's life as she confronts many issues that turn out to be interrelated, such as why she knows so little about her family's past, why she craves community as she feels increasingly isolated, why the Latino teachers want the curriculum to be more Latino, and whether she can become the kind of teacher who sparks student learning. The storyline alternates between past and present, acquainting readers with German American communities in the Midwest during the late 1800s and early 1900s, portraits based on detailed historic excavation. What happened to these communities gives Jessica the key to unlock answers to questions that plague her.


The health-related programs at Dalhousie University are committed to providing their students with a wide-range of interprofessional experiences and opportunities.
