Women In Business: In the Face of Aristotle, Five Women Find Their Passion in Law
by SA Woman | Jul 20, 2016 | July/Aug 16, Women in Business | 0 comments
Aristotle is credited with saying, "The law is reason free from passion."
The five San Antonio attorneys featured in this issue would perhaps disagree with the classic philosopher, since they believe passion for the law keeps them serving clients at their highest level. In fact, they do not see how they could continue without it. Representing critical need areas of estate planning and probate, criminal defense, real estate, and family law, these powerhouse women recall the moments they received affirmation for their career choice and how their passion fuels a love for law and justice.
Meet some of our city's best and brightest to understand why they perhaps would be willing to debate Aristotle, were he still around.
MAURINE SHIPP
Heinrichs and De Gennaro, P.C.
Maurine Shipp (best known as Mo) never planned to be an attorney. Both of her parents were attorneys, and there was a time she promised herself she would not follow their path or marry an attorney. However, this current partner of Heinrichs and De Gennaro, P.C., was glad she finally listened to counsel to consider another direction with her career.
"It wasn't until working for several years after college that I started having conversations with people about the possibility of going to law school," she said. "A wise counselor suggested it would be a good fit, and when I told her of my promises, she asked me if those were good reasons to not pursue something I was suited for." Law school was definitely the right decision for Shipp, and she even married an attorney whom she now finds herself working alongside.
"I enjoy probate because it's an opportunity to walk with people through a very difficult time. "
Shipp is board-certified in estate planning and probate, an area she thoroughly enjoys. "The estate planning is fun and interesting for me, because I get to work with people preparing for their future and the future of their family," she said. "Let's face it, not many people are eager to talk about estate planning. I work with families as they make really difficult decisions and enjoy counseling them through their options and finding the right fit for their family." She believes there is no cookie-cutter approach to estate planning because every family dynamic is different, and each situation calls for its own set of solutions. She said, "I enjoy probate because it's an opportunity to walk with people through a very difficult time. We are called attorneys and counselors at law, and the counseling aspect certainly comes in with probate."
She clearly remembers one moment that affirmed her decision to follow this specialty. "It was a great moment toward helping a young man regain his confidence, independence, and life," she said.
Shipp's practice represents individuals with regard to guardianships for incapacitated individuals. She said, "We had one case in which a young man suffered a major accident resulting in a traumatic brain injury. Because of that injury, he was unable to care for himself and required a guardian." However, the young man improved after years of hard work, therapy and finding the right balance of medication, and he no longer required a guardian. "We were able to work with the family and have the Probate Court terminate guardianship," she said. "It was certainly affirmation that, although there are tough days and many challenges along the way, ultimately we are providing important services to people."
Shipp believes her passion for the work makes her a much better lawyer for her clients. "It allows me to listen and relate to my client. People come to me to address some of the most important and personal issues in their lives. I have to have both legal competence as well as compassion in conversations that are sometimes very difficult," she said. "If I wasn't passionate about what I do, I think it would come across in those conversations, and it would make fewer of them comfortable with me." In fact, her firm markets itself as composed of attorneys with passion, professionalism, and perseverance.
She considers her first full-time job to be wife to her husband, Barrett, and mom to her two children, Foster and Hattie. "The majority of my time outside of the office is spent with them," she said. Shipp also serves on the Planned Giving Council at the University of the Incarnate Word and has served as an adjunct professor at the University.
ROBBIE L. WARD
LaHood & Calfas, PLLC
To say attorney Robbie Ward is multifaceted is an understatement. On one hand, she is the mother of a small child who she drives to gymnastics, birthday parties, and schools. She possesses the warmth and smile associated with those like her who hail from West Texas and appears to be calm, cool, and collected behind the desk in her office.
However, on the wall behind that desk, looking over Ward's shoulder, hangs the head of a Texas wild boar complete with large, intimidating teeth. She doesn't hunt, but fellow employees at LaHood & Calfas insisted she receive the mounted head bagged by a firm partner. With a slight grin, Ward said, "I think they wanted me to have it, because I am like the boar — tough and a little scary."
As a junior in high school, Ward discovered she wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. At that time, in 1989, she began working part time for the top criminal defense attorney in Odessa, Robert Victor Garcia. It did not take long for Ward to be hooked on the profession, and Garcia became a mentor and friend. From that moment, she would begin a journey that took her eventually to St. Mary's Law School in San Antonio, and on to become one of the city's top criminal defense attorneys.
"I usually have some idea of how the prosecution is going to approach the case," she said. "I can see it from both sides of the spectrum."
"Some of the best advice Robert Garcia gave me was to be a prosecutor first," she said. This is now an edge she offers her clients after serving as both a state and federal prosecutor. "I usually have some idea of how the prosecution is going to approach the case," she said. "I can see it from both sides of the spectrum." She has experience handling cases in family law, real estate, and personal injury, but her real passion lies in criminal defense. "It is never boring," Ward said. "The cases are always different and new and never monotonous."
She believes many people have been tainted by watching too many television shows about lawyers. "These are the people who find it hard to believe I enjoy my job," said Ward. "They will misrepresent criminal law and falsely state the attorney's main goal is just to get a criminal off." She believes her job is to fulfill a fundamental right of proper representation afforded someone accused of any crime who is innocent until proven guilty. "Those scoffers will think differently if they, or a family member, or a child happens to be accused," she said. "Then suddenly they are glad I am here."
Just last year Ward was approached by a client indicted on a murder charge. The crime was a cold case revisited by a detective. She quickly stuffed the case notes in a bag and headed to a continuing legal education seminar, where during some of the speeches she began to read over the notes. "I was stunned," she said. "I looked at all the evidence and was appalled he had been indicted. Deep inside, I knew he was innocent." She describes this man as one who had a rowdy younger life but who had turned things around with diligence and determination. He is now married with two young children. "I was at a complete loss as to why he had been charged and was able to get the district attorney's office to look over my points," she said. The moment Ward handed the couple the official dismissal from the DA, both began to cry. "I had one of those moments," she said. "The moment when you know, this is why I am here."
Ward does not believe someone can be a good defense attorney without passion for the job. After 15 years of trying cases, she still describes her excitement at the beginning of a trial as stomach-churning and butterflies. "If that feeling ever goes away," she said, "I need to look for something else to do."
CINDY HILL
Owner/Principal of Cynthia P. Hill
Business owner Cindy Hill does have a passion for something other than her role as a top real estate attorney — finding new varieties of coffee beans. "I am a coffee snob," said Hill. She may be seen at any of the independent coffee houses throughout San Antonio, but she will be on the run. After all, she now oversees her own practice.
"Law school opened up a whole new world and taught me how to think critically and analyze problems and issues in a totally different way."
Her 20 years in law actually began while getting a master's in school administration at the University of Texas in El Paso (UTEP). "My first career was teaching high school English and journalism for four years in El Paso," said Hill. In those night graduate classes, she learned about laws and regulations affecting public schools and teacher contracts. She said, "One of my friends suggested if I did well on the GRE, I would probably do well on the LSAT and could go to law school. The idea that I could be in a position to help people, teachers specifically, as an attorney was very appealing to me." It was the first time she was truly excited about her career life, and that excitement would be what carried her through the tough classes in law school. "Law school opened up a whole new world and taught me how to think critically and analyze problems and issues in a totally different way."
After law school, Hill joined a small law firm in Corpus Christi that represented the local school district, and she worked there for two years. However, during a firm reorganization, Hill was asked to assist in the real estate department. "One of the first matters I was assigned was the acquisition of several convenience stores by a local Corpus Christi family," she said. "Then I was lucky enough to work on the purchase of two hotels by another local businessman, and I was hooked!" She enjoyed the intricacies of putting together the real estate transactions and discovering how all the pieces fit together — from surveys to site plans — then making certain the legal documents reflected the intent of all parties involved.
Before opening her own firm last January, Hill worked as in-house counsel for Valero Energy and for Susser Holdings. She truly gets excited over real estate transactions. "I get affirmation I am doing exactly what I was meant to do every time I close on a transaction, whether I represent a seller or a buyer," said Hill. "After all the back and forth of contract negotiations, the preparation and revision of agreements, and the signing and recording of documents, there is a sense of accomplishment and finality that is very satisfying."
Hill believes without this passion and purpose, she would just be a paper pusher. "I am always amazed at what my clients are working on, and helping them achieve this goal is what makes this fun," she said. "This is a very detail-oriented practice, and without passion it would be very hard to stay focused."
Besides her love for a unique brew, Hill enjoys travel and has been to Mexico, Central America, France, Germany, and China. She also enjoys listening to fiction novels. However, running a successful business keeps her on the go through clients' offices and coffee shops around town.
RACHEL REUTER
Bandoske, Butler, & Reuter, PLLC
Family law is multifaceted and can involve issues around divorce, adoption, child custody, child support, military benefits, paternity, and many types of arbitration and mediation. Attorney Rachel Reuter enjoys oversight of each and every step. She graduated from law school in 1997 and has spent the majority of her career in San Antonio. "I have been partners with two fantastic women for over a year now," said Reuter. "We have the same goals and work ethic. I trust and respect my partners completely. We are each other's sounding boards and support, and all bring something unique to the partnership."
Reuter cannot say she always wanted to be an attorney, but she knows the moment in law school she was assured of being in the right place. "I competed in my first mock trial during my second year of law school, and that was when I knew," she said. "I immediately knew I wanted to be a litigator and fight for my clients."
And fight she does, because family law requires it. "Family law is a different animal," she said.
"My clients are all going through an extremely emotional time in their lives. It is my job to be their advocate and their voice of reason. They need someone who can guide them through the difficult time and help them see there is a light at the end of the tunnel."
It was during one of these emotional times that Reuter received affirmation that family law was where she belonged. "When I first started practicing, I was a personal injury attorney who took on a few family law cases," she said. "I knew family law would be my focus when a young mother hired me to work for her." Reuter describes the woman as young, lacking confidence, and completely under her husband's control. She said, "She came to me, terrified her husband would take her child from her and leave her destitute — a message he sent her on a regular basis. I was able to stand up for her against her abuser and get her the results she deserved." After that experience, Reuter knew she could make a difference in the lives of people through family law.
"We all know someone who has gone through a divorce or child custody matter," Reuter said. "Clients are given so many conflicting opinions by family and friends, and they come to me confused and unsure. I listen to them and help them see what is important to them and best for their family." She believes she can be compassionate, strong, and aggressive at the same time. "I also make sure I am accessible and a voice of reason for each client."
Reuter acknowledges that without passion for the job she would be miserable. She believes in order to be happy one must do something about which they care deeply. "Being an attorney is a tough job, and being a family law attorney is particularly stressful," she said. "You have to be dedicated to helping your clients and understand you will have long days and long nights preparing for your cases. There are many nights I wake up at 3 a.m. thinking about my cases and going through the arguments for the next day's hearing."
A majority of her passion for family law derives from her feelings for her own family. "My family is the most important thing to me," she said. "My daughter is my pride and joy and is the best part of my husband and myself. As long as I am with them, I am enjoying myself. Whether we are strolling through the farmer's market, hiking, traveling, swimming, or just hanging out and watching television."
LEIGH CUTTER
Jean Brown Law
Out of the five attorneys profiled here, Leigh Cutter was the youngest when she became interested in law. "I would say it was around the age of 10 or 11," she said. "I loved to read as a kid, and I would stay up all night and read one book after another. I would ask for suggested summer reading lists at the library and read everything on it one week into summer vacation." She also grew up in a strict household where there was respect for and understanding of rules — and consequences if the rules were not followed. Cutter described herself as an overachiever, problem solver, and always ready to help others — qualities of top attorneys.
Diligence is also a quality of top attorneys, and she displayed her work ethic when it came time for law school. "I couldn't afford to attend the day program and just focus on school, as most attorneys do," she said. "I went at night and worked full time in the financial industry as a stock broker and financial advisor during the day. I spent many nights up late studying, working, and trying to figure out how to make everything work to fulfill my dream." Her dream was fulfilled, and her attachment to law goes even deeper than the fundamentals upon which she was raised. Her husband, Andrew, is an attorney; her mother-in-law is an attorney in Dallas; and her father-in-law is a judge in Dallas. "Needless to say," she said, "we all enjoy talking about case theories and the practice of law in general."
Cutter is not certain if her specialty of criminal defense and family law found her or if she found it. "Prior to becoming a licensed attorney for Jean Brown Law, I clerked at one of the premier federal and state criminal defense firms in Texas, Brown and Norton. My extensive background in the financial industry gives me a competitive edge on both white-collar crimes and complex divorce litigation," she said. "Our firm is known for our exceptional criminal defense representation involving assault, sexual assault, stalking, and substance abuse. These areas naturally intertwine with a number of family law cases, giving me a unique and successful approach to defending our clients."
Cutter describes one moment when her chosen path was confirmed deep within her on more than one level. Last fall, when she was 39 weeks pregnant with her daughter, she tried a custody case. She said, "I represented the father of two beautiful children ages 5 and 7 years old." Prior to this, the parents had 50/50 custody of the children, but the mother had remarried and moved to Corpus Christi.
She recalled, "I remember getting choked up during closing arguments because I knew in my heart that these children would suffer if the jury did not allow them to stay with their dad here in San Antonio. He was a great dad and would do anything for his kids."
"Once in a while, you get the opportunity to help someone who desperately needs your help. It feels good to be that person."
When the verdict came back and her client won, a moving moment happened between attorney and client. Her client placed his head down in his hands and began to sob with relief, while Cutter's child began to squirm inside her belly. "It was almost like she was saying to me, 'Good job, Mom, you really helped those kids,'" Cutter said. "Once in a while, you get the opportunity to help someone who desperately needs your help. It feels good to be that person."
Cutter's passion is for the system of law and justice America is founded upon. "If the attorney isn't passionate, the client suffers. Every day, I am dealing with someone who could potentially lose their liberty and even their children," she said. "I have to be passionate to get the job done."

FORTY THREE billboards are being paid for by the family of a 21-year-old man killed by Kenosha police in November 2004. All available digital displays (36) in the Milwaukee area of the advertising giant Clear Channel Outdoor have now been leased by the family.
The father, Michael M. Bell, thinks the way Police in-custody deaths are investigated needs to be reformed. He says that it's essential such investigations be conducted by an independent entity. "An external review panel of at least 3 law enforcement officers appointed by an ELECTED official to judge such incidents is the best way to ensure objectivity, integrity, and fairness," says Bell. "Our family is also asking that a prosecuting attorney position be specifically assigned to the Attorney General's office to strictly review police involved fatalities be created. This prosecuting attorney must have the ability to prosecute in any county if questionable police activity occurs.
Kenosha police shot Bell's son, Michael E. Bell, in the head in his driveway after a traffic stop. He was unarmed. The Kenosha County DA declined to charge the officers involved. A department investigation ruled the shooting justified. Bell's family received a $1.75 million dollar settlement and is using those funds to get their message out.
The billboards show a large smoking gun and words ranging from "Fix the process, Bad Cops stain Good Cops" to "Name one department that found its OWN shooting UNJUSTIFIED." They also direct viewers to MichaelBell.info or the Facebook page "Plea 4 A Change." The billboard wording can be changed almost instantly to fit evolving situations.
A public outcry has erupted in the William's case after Medical Examiner Christopher Poulos changed his findings to homicide after police reports and squad video, were released to the public. Those reports showed force was used in Williams' arrest and that had a role in his death. Additional outcry over racial insensitivity occurred when Darius Simmons, age 13, was shot and killed by neighbor John Spooner (now charged with homicide) and his mother was confined for an hour and a half in a squad car as her son lay dying.

My Experience With Cipralex (Escitalopram): Heavy Periods & Hair Loss
Celine Araujo
Why I Started Taking Cipralex / Escitalopram
In May of 2016, I was struggling with the old demons again: major depression, generalized anxiety, and disordered eating. Although I had been self-medicating on and off with cannabis, because cannabis was not legalized and my weed came from a dealer, I didn't know the THC/CBD ratios of the flower I was smoking.
Sometimes, it even made me feel more depressed (which I now realize means they were Indica-dominant strains). Feeling that I had no other options, I returned to my GP, told her about the excessive sweating I experienced with Zoloft, and asked for a new prescription.
Short answer: I'm not sure since I only took it for a month.
My GP prescribed me another SSRI: Cipralex/Sertraline. I took it for one month, thankfully also without any discernible symptoms. It is worth mentioning that at this time I was also dealing with—in addition to anxiety, depression, and (mostly recovered) bulimia—outbreaks of eczema, which I have had on and off since I was 2.
During this extended (and very acute) eczema outbreak, I tried to manage it by changing my diet to what I thought would be a low-inflammatory diet. This was a fairly extreme diet of high-carb, low-fat veganism (or near-veganism). I began that diet and started taking Escitalopram around the same time, so it's hard to tell what caused what, but honestly, I feel that the Cipralex was a contributing factor.
The Heaviest Period I Have Ever Experienced
In June, during my next period, I had the heaviest period I have ever experienced in my life. It was such a shocking amount of blood pouring out of me that I actually considered going to the hospital. I bled through a menstrual cup, a pad, my underwear, and my shorts, for multiple days.
I already had low iron, so I'm sure the restrictive vegan diet was partially or even mostly to blame, but after I stopped taking Cipralex and continued with the diet, that level of bleeding did not occur again, although my periods were overall heavier.
Confused and terrified, I began googling the side effects of Cipralex and learned that it is actually a blood thinner. Should my doctor have prescribed a patient with chronically low iron a medication that is a blood thinner? Probably not. Should I have gone on a diet with even less iron and protein in it, knowing this about myself? Probably not.
I Then Experienced Hair Loss
In any case, shortly after that, my hair began falling out. Subtly at first, and then with noticeable thinning. I was lucky that my hair was very thick to begin with, but the psychological toll of it spiraled me even deeper into depression.
It got to the point where I dreaded taking a shower because of how much hair fell out, so showering became surrounded by intense anxiety. Whenever I saw a hair on my clothes, or some strands came out when I touched my hair, I was filled with panic.
The shedding continued on and off for a couple of years, picking up again during times of increased stress. This is an issue I never had before taking Cipralex, and as with Zoloft, this side effect stayed with me for years, long after I stopped taking the medication.
I cannot solely blame Cipralex—the vegan diet likely contributed—but I had been vegetarian in the past and never experienced hair loss, nor a period that heavy.
I am thankful to say that I have never experienced a period that heavy again, and the hair loss has stopped.
[Hair loss] is an issue I never had before taking Cipralex, and as with Zoloft, this side effect stayed with me for years, long after I stopped taking the medication.
Am I Against Mental Health Medication? Do I regret taking Cipralex?
No, and yes.
I think anyone considering taking prescription mental health meds should be fully educated and aware of all possible side effects (even the lesser-known/obscure ones) so that they can make an informed choice.
Part of the issue I had was that my GP was negligent and did not do a good job educating me about potential side effects. I do regret taking Cipralex, as the very heavy bleeding that occurred, and the hair loss that followed were honestly terrible.
I wish that I'd have had the option of taking CBD extract or ingesting a high-CBD strain of cannabis instead, as that is now what I use with much greater success. More on that in an upcoming article!
Celine Araujo (author) from Toronto on November 08, 2020:
Ugh I'm sorry you experienced that. Many people I know who've been on mental health meds have had similar experiences, and the more meds they were put on, the more adverse their side effects & overall well-being.
I'm sorry that cannabis isn't as accessible to you as it should be :( Cannabis is a medicinal plant and I hope it will soon be legal or at least decriminalized internationally. I agree that cannabis, like anything, can be helpful or destructive, depending on the person and how it is used.
Thank you so much for reading :) I hope you're feeling good these days.
Thank you! Thanks for reading :)
Louise Elcross from Preston on November 08, 2020:
I have also had adverse affects from mental health medication. Since the age of 17 I was treated with all the new medications on the market and always had serious side affects. I once told a doctor that the pills were not helping and made me feel even more mentally ill and he refused to treat me ever again. When I got to my thirties I tried cannabis for the first time and my life was transformed. In England cannabis is illegal so it is a difficult drug to get hold of for me. I have friends that used cannabis and I watched their mental health deteriorate so its not for everybody. I know I will never use prescribed mental health treatment because some of my experiences have been horrific. Thanks for writing this and explaining some of the adverse affects of mental health treatment as a warning to others..

This article was produced as a series on "Reporting on Stigma and Mental Health Needs in California's Latino communities" for the USC Center for Health Journalism's California Fellowship.
Mental illness and stigma in the Latino community
Luis Nolasco, 25, participates in a Black Lives Matter IE vigil in Riverside on Monday June 13, 2016. (Credit: Terry Pierson/The Press-Enterprise)
Studies show that Hispanic patients tend to have less access and poorer quality mental health treatment than anglos.
CLICK HERE for SPANISH version.
Luis Nolasco, 25, did not know what the psychological consequences would be when he came from Mexico with his family, illegally, at the age of nine.
It seemed that there might not be any until he was in his late teens, in high school, getting ready to apply to the university when he noticed he began to feel sad and pessimistic.
"I did not understand what the trauma of being undocumented was all about until I wanted to apply to the university and wasn't sure I could due to my immigration status", Nolasco stated. "For awhile I thought I was going to have to go back to Mexico and then that is when I realized...I was different than everyone else".
Eight years went by and he continued to notice strange symptoms in his personality.
"Stigma exists, it is real," he said. "Even though it is getting better and there is more acceptance than ever before, mental illness is still a taboo topic in the Latino community. You are supposed to keep it all to yourself."
On numerous occasions, Nolasco has attempted to navigate the behavioral health care system and has been frustrated that he has not been able to get the help he needs.
A fighter
Nolasco identifies himself as a queer undocumented immigrant and works as a community organizer. He considers himself fortunate that he has health insurance through his employer.
But he he has found it very difficult to find a therapist who will be able to understand where he is coming from.
"My mental state has been the reason why many of my goals have been put on hold," he admitted.
One report called "Community-Defined Solutions for Latino Mental Health Care Disparities" published by the UC Davis Center for Reducing Health Disparities, found that Latino patients, in general, have less access to mental health services, are less likely to receive needed care, and are more likely to receive poorer quality care when treated than their anglo counterparts.
Erika Del Carmen Ruiz, 21, is another young adult that identifies herself with the Latino LGBTQ community. She has tried therapy in the past because she suffers from anxiety and panic attacks.
Although she says that by nature she has a nervous personality, she remembers that she had multiple panic attacks per week during her last year of high school in San Bernardino due to life stressors such as her grandmother getting sick. She also was coming to terms that she was not heterosexual which went contrary to the beliefs of her immigrant Catholic family. "Nobody had to tell me that not being heterosexual was a sin", she said.
It took her awhile to step up and go to therapy. "I knew it was going to be helpful but there is so much stigma both in the U.S. and the Mexican culture," Ruiz admitted.
According to the National Alliance of Mental Illnesses or NAMI, individuals who identify with the LGBTQ community tend to suffer from what is called "double or dual stigma" which is based on their sexual orientation or gender identity while also dealing with societal bias against mental illnesses. The effects of dual stigma can be harmful especially when someone seeks treatment.
In addition, LGBTQ individuals are almost three times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition such as major depression or generalized anxiety disorder.
At the university, Ruiz was fortunate to find a Latina therapist who helped her control her panic attacks. "Therapy helped me get better. Now I feel that talking to others is much easier," she said.
While she would like to continue going to therapy because she thinks it is a good resource to have, it is hard because she can afford it due to the limitations in her medical plan.
Latinos tend to avoid seeking help
A recent study published in Health Affairs, "Removing Obstacles To Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Behavioral Health Care," highlights the fact that while the Affordable Health Care Act has expanded access to behavioral health care, many reform initiatives fail to consider research about racial/ethnic minorities.
Margarita Alegría, lead author of the study and professor of psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School University, explains that Latinos, especially immigrants, tend to avoid or put off treatment until they find themselves in a crisis or are a danger to themselves or others. Also she emphasized that there is a lack of information available to the public about how evidence-based treatments can be helpful.
"We have seen that immigrants do not make the time to go to therapy due the fact that their first priority is work," Alegria indicated. "They also delay getting help because they prefer to deal with their problems on their own. But there does comes a time when professional help is needed and they need to know when they have reached that point."

This study explored the experiences of teachers, with regards to adapting to school culture, views on bullying, forms of colleague support, and teacher preparation. Eight research participants (n=8) were interviewed about their experiences as a new teacher. For the purpose of this study, new teacher is defined as one who has completed a teaching degree within the last five years. Using grounded theory and an inductive approach (Glaser & Strauss, 1967), four themes emerged through a thematic analysis (Owens, 1984). The first theme was that there is an intense adaptation process that new teachers experience while settling into new roles as professional teachers. The first theme gave way to the second theme: colleagues and other forms of support. New teachers sought out experienced teachers, were paired with mentors, were on teaching teams, or utilized sources outside of the school, when faced with questions or confusion. The original intent of the study was to investigate the training that a new teacher receives to learn about managing bullying, but there was an overwhelming lack of training, overall. Many teachers shared views on bullying, which made up the third theme. Finally, the analysis revealed that teachers compared their preparation and experiences with their perceived self-efficacy. A discussion of limitations and suggestions for future research are also included.

We operate aircraft which are ideally suited to train a pilot from the outset and thereafter could be utilised for their night rating, instrument rating and instructor rating. The faithfull and loyal design of the Cessna C150,C152 and C172 fullfills that role. To assist students where their flying budget is restricted the Jabiru fit the profile and these fun to fly and capable machines serve the training industry well.
The Piper Arrow 28R is our flagship aircraft for the introduction to complex aircraft and is used extensively for the initial skills test for many Commercial Pilots.
For Multi-engine training we initially use our Piper Seneca Simulator and then the Beechcraft Duchess 76 aircraft itself is used to complete the flight training.
We take pride in our aircraft fleet and our servicabilty rate proves that we look after our training aircraft. Students are taught from the outset to respect the flying fleet.
Matching aircraft to our simulator is a priority and we make use of our recently upgraded FNPTII. Our state of the art Piper Seneca III / Piper Arrow / Piper Archer simulator is used for both more advanced Single and Multi Engine Instrument training as well as basic Instrument Flight and Procedural training . This simulator is SACAA approved for Emergency Training and Instrument Rating Renewals, and additionally, it is approved for credit towards the Night Rating and Instructors rating. The cockpit includes a fully functional TCAS and GPS system - features we are very proud of offering to our students!
I was most impressed by the professionalism of your staff... I can truly say that I received world-class quality training!


In this article we present a complete algorithm using mathematical optimization tools for solving a flexible job shop scheduling problem at Volvo Aero, a company producing high-valued low volume components for the aircraft industry. The goal of the scheduling is to facilitate a higher utilization of the cell while minimizing the total tardiness and the cell throughput time. The production cell consists of ten resources (machines and workstations) whereof five are multipurpose machines that can carry out a variety of operations; the so-called multitask machines work in parallel instead of one dedicated machine for each product. The production cell is studied from a mathematical as well as a logistical point of view. The quality of the schedules is measured by means of the total tardiness and computation time. The resulting schedules from a mathematical optimization model are compared with schedules generated by priority rules, which are similar to today's manual scheduling of the multitask cell. The tests were carried out for different realistic scenarios with regard to work load and product mix. The resulting schedules, which as expected outperformed the two commonly used priority rules, are obtained within minutes for the upcoming shift.

BCM Researcher Leads Study Questioning Cognition Screening in Older Patients
March 26th, 2014 Chris Comish 0 comments
According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), routine screening of older individuals for cognitive loss is not supported by current guidelines. Researchers reviewed 55 studies that examined the accuracy of screening systems, as well as 130 studies of interventions aiming at slowing or stopping cognitive dysfunction in patients who tested positive for cognitive loss.
So far, researchers report that acetylcholinesterase inhibitors may have a small effect on cognitive function, but the overall benefit can't be established at this time. Nonpharmacological interventions were evaluated as well, and no data was found to be consistent. However, those trials that showed some benefit were not overly significant statistically.
Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas report that they found insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion about the balance between benefits and risks of screening. Panel members noted that evidence for harm was lacking as well, but would certainly include drug side effects. Despite new research into cognitive screening and interventions since 2003, the overall conclusion remained the same. However, of note is that the task force emphasized that the review covered only routine, universal screening for older patients without clear signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment. A literature review previously also found no clear evidence for a benefit from dementia screening. Nevertheless, the above statement is at odds with the Alzheimer's Association guideline on screening. At this point, Medicare is covering cognitive screening for beneficiaries as part of the "Annual Wellness Visit," a new initiative of the Affordable Care Act, also commonly referred to as Obamacare.
It's worth noting that the American Geriatrics Society as taken no position on cognitive screening in the absence of patient or caregiver complaints. Nevertheless, the society feels that there are certain assessments and management therapies for patients selected for screening. According to MedPage Today, Huntington Potter, PhD, an Alzheimer's disease specialist at the University of Colorado in Denver, said that screening can have value, but the decision to screen a patient has to be individualized. Porter goes on to say that screening can help patients take steps to reduce the chance of progression to more serious impairment: "They can begin to change their lifestyle, perhaps reduce their cholesterol which will help reduce their risk for dementia later on, perhaps get more exercise."
Ultimately, the task force, led by chair Virginia Moyer, MD, MPH, of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, summarized the findings by indicating insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion about the balance between and risks of screening.

Very fun costume. The quality was better than I expected.
I was pretty stunned at the quality of this garment. It's not just a costume, it's a real sweater and real cap. 100% acrylic, and a little itchy, but the seams and piping are on par with a sweater you'd buy at a clothing store.
It's a littler smaller than I expected. I bought an XL, but I'm 6'3" with a 44" chest and the labeling said that an XL was made for a person of about 6ft. I used a cool iron to relax the fabric and broaden the chest, and it fit just fine. It was loose enough to not make me feel constrained, but not blousey or boxy around waist.
I washed (machine washed on gentle cycle, flat dry) the sweater anticipating the colors to bleed, but it didn't.
Overall, I'm very impressed. This will be my costume next year, too!
Nice costume, but what impressed me was the quick shipping. Ordered it on a Monday in Oslo, Norway and had it delivered on my door on Thursday! Amazing.
At first I wasn't sure if to purchase this one or the other Where's Waldo costume on this site. Flipped a coin and made the decision. So glad I picked this one.

Credit Suisse Hires Goldman Tech Veteran in Management Revamp – The Wall Street Journal
Credit Suisse Group AG hired a top technology executive from Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the latest revamp to the Swiss bank's management team in the wake of twin scandals.
Joanne Hannaford will become the bank's new chief technology officer and chief operating officer, replacing James Walker in the COO role. Mr. Walker will become deputy chief executive officer at Credit Suisse's U.S. holding company, the bank said.
Credit Suisse reeled from a $5 billion-plus loss from family office Archegos Capital Management this spring, and its reputation also took a hit from the March bankruptcy of a financing partner, Greensill Capital. The bank ousted several executives, including two members of its management team. New Chairman António Horta-Osóriostarted reviews into risk management, strategy and culture via a board committee and outside consultants.
Mrs. Hannaford held senior engineering roles at Goldman Sachs over a 24-year career at the bank in London and New York. Goldman made her a partner in 2014. She will start Jan. 1.
A Goldman Sachs spokesperson declined to comment.

Texas Tech under Chris Beard is just getting started.
Beard has signed a new six-year contract that keeps him at Texas Tech through the 2024-25 season, the school announced Monday morning. The 46-year-old Beard will earn an average of $4.575 million annually throughout the deal, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the country.
The deal, which starts at $4.2 million, features a buyout after the first year that's worth $3 million -- double that for a Big 12 school -- sources told SportsDay's Chuck Carlton.

Just how competitive is this salary? Beard is set to make more money than any coach in college basketball not named John Calipari or Mike Krzyzewski, according to USA Today's database of NCAA salaries. (Note: The database has yet to be updated with Rick Barnes' new deal with Tennessee, one where he will be paid $4.7 million in 2019, according to KnoxNews.com).
"Thank you to President Schovanec,
, Chancellor Mitchell and the Board of Regents for making this strong commitment to both me and our men's basketball program," Beard said in a news release. "Thank you to our players and staff, both former and current, for your commitment to winning. Special thanks to our fans and our students for your incredible support and passion. Together we have accomplished some great things in the past three years but we are not satisfied and will continue working tirelessly to build one of the best college basketball programs in the nation."
The announcement comes three weeks after Beard guided the Red Raiders to the culmination of a program-first Final Four run: an 85-77 overtime loss to Virginia in the national championship game.
Beard is 76-31 in three seasons at Texas Tech, having guided the Red Raiders to their first Elite Eight (2018) and Big 12 regular-season championship (2019) in addition to this year's Final Four run, which capped the winningest season in program history at a record of 31-7.
Beard is the reigning Associated Press National Coach of the Year and Big 12 Coach of the Year.

Calvin Rejected Theonomy In Favor Of Natural Law
Oral and memorial tradition
Complementarianism: A Moment of Reckoning (Part 5)
Part 5: Moving Forward: A Better Understanding of Church and Wisdom
WE NEED TO REMEMBER SCRIPTURE IS SUFFICIENT FOR OUR CHURCH AND MINISTRY STRUCTURES
I believe the Bible establishes two offices: elders/pastors/overseers and deacons. I also believe it limits the role of elder to qualified men, while men and women both can serve as deacons (or, if one prefers for women, deaconesses).
What then shall we say a missions committee chairman is? An executive leadership team? A youth pastor who is not an elder? A women's ministry director? A pastoral search committee member? Do those positions come out of the elder bucket or the deacon bucket?
The trouble, of course, is that many churches don't have a sharply defined understanding of what an elder or a deacon is. Plus, the Bible says nothing about these other positions. As a result, the lines blur. They merge in and out of the elder or deacon lanes with little clarity on what's what.
Also, as I've remarked elsewhere, we use the corporate and vague word "leadership" to describe everything, allowing churches to run an end-run around the Bible.
For my part, I'm willing to acknowledge that deacons possess a kind of "leadership" over their particular areas. A deacon of sound, for instance, will give guidance and instruction to his or her team in running the sound system for the church. He or she might be given a budget and make decisions about how to use that budget. In other words, I believe we can make a distinction between diaconal leadership and the kind of elder oversight over the whole congregation that Paul and the rest say belong to the elders.
Yet if churches are going to use non-biblical language like "executive leadership team" or "missions committee chairman," then they should be more careful about explaining to their congregations whether those positions represent elder leadership or diaconal leadership. They should work harder at keeping every position inside of one of those two lanes.
The deeper point here is, hovering behind the conversations about complementarianism are both different ecclesiological convictions (as Sam Emadi and Alex Duke's articles make clear), but also different convictions over the sufficiency of Scripture. It's easy to get good ideas in our heads and to begin to insist on them, as if they were Bible. "We must hire women to solve the abuse problem." "We must have women participate in elder's meetings. "We must establish a women's leadership institute." "We must create more public teaching platforms for women." Many such ideas might be fine or even wise in this or that ministry context. Yet to make something a "must" that is not in the Bible puts more weight on it than it's capable of carrying. The Holy Spirit is not sitting in heaven thinking to himself, "I wish I had inspired the apostles to say that!" When we turn good ideas into musts, those ideas start doing things we never intended them to do.
Scripture is sufficient for all that ails us. Different voices can bring different insights to our understanding of Scripture, but if something is not in the Bible, it is not a "must." Only the inspired things get to be "musts."
What we must do is keep reading our Bibles and conforming our thinking and practices to it.
WE NEED TO THINK BETTER ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAW AND WISDOM
Elsewhere , I have argued that we need to recognize that the differences between men and women in the broader domains of life don't root in biblical precepts, but in God's design patterns. And this is crucial, I said, because creation design ushers us into the biblical category of wisdom. Wisdom in the Bible is an overlapping but slightly different thing than law.
Wisdom issues an "ought," as in "men ought" or "women ought." But wisdom's "ought" is a little different than the "ought" of law. Wisdom's "ought" sounds like something from Proverbs ("a wise son hears his father's instruction"). Law's "ought" sounds like something from Exodus ("you shall not steal"). Wisdom's "ought" comes with an "ordinarily." Its opposite is folly (the father might be a fool, a thief, or a typical dad who gives mixed advice). Law's "ought" comes with an "always." Its opposite is sin. Yes, sin and folly often overlap, but not always.
The fact that gender differences are governed by the "oughts" of wisdom means there's some flexibility in gender expression as we move from one cultural location to another. A woman's skirt in one country might look a lot like a man's kilt in Scotland. Yet this flexibility of cultural expressions doesn't mean—as contemporary Christians so often assume—that we can therefore ignore various cultural signals of masculinity and femininity as "merely cultural" and morally insignificant to us.
Paul, for instance, commends long hair for a woman (1 Cor. 11:15), a commendation which depended on certain understandings within his culture. Hopefully, however, we wouldn't walk up to Paul and accuse him of trafficking in cultural stereotypes. If we did, he might concede the point. Yet then he would go on to say, "Long hair for a woman is crucial for expressing womanhood where I live, and God's Word commands women to be as women, and men to be as men. Likewise, you should pay attention to the signals where you live."
In other words, if we are going to be "in but not of" the world, we need to pay attention to healthy expressions of manhood and womanhood in our various culture, just as we pay attention to language differences and other social cues.
To sum up: manhood and womanhood belong to divine design, yielding some flexibility and the need for wisdom in how we live out our manhood and womanhood. Yet that's not an excuse for ignoring various cultural expressions of each, but paying close attention to them, and striving to participate in healthier versions of them for the sake of the biblical goal: maintaining both equality and difference.
As a concluding word, I'd like to acknowledge how grateful I am for the ministry of CBMW. They do not bat 1.000. Who does! But they've shown a courage that many of us lack, including myself. They have sought to teach what the Bible says on a topic that will win them few friends and many enemies in our present moment. I don't understand why every complementarian, broad and narrow, is not grateful for that, even when they disagree. We should honor our brothers and sisters in Christ and cheer their efforts to learn from the Bible. Not only that, we should emulate them by working harder on this topic.
After all, the road ahead is likely worse. It's harder to be a complementarian today than it was just five years ago, and I assume it will be harder still five years from now. Our culture increasingly lacks any conceptual category for it. I went to a public high school in the late 1980s and a non-Christian college in the early 1990s. Thinking back to those days, my non-Christian classmates still believed that men and women were different. People could make jokes (some appropriate, many not) that depended on a basic sense of our differences. But these intuitions are quickly vanishing. The reigning ideologies of the day both cause us to willfully refuse to see the differences between men and women, and simultaneously make us incapable of seeing them.
Perhaps the inevitabilities of nature will reassert themselves within this generation. Yet sin is irrational, and I won't be surprised if our culture's certainty of androgyny worsens. Insofar as that's the case, the idea that "these hateful Christians" would continue to insist on distinctions of roles in any form whatsoever will sincerely astonish, frighten, and anger otherwise kind, respectable, and loving non-Christians. Even the narrowest of the narrow complementarians will find themselves anathematized.
Which means, the task for complementarians more than ever—CBMW included—is to continue reforming ourselves according to God's Word. Above all else, again, we must conform ourselves to the Bible. We must work to understand authority and difference as well as equality from the Bible. A right understanding and practice of each will be the best defense against abuse and abdication both. That way we will "Keep [our] conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation" (1 Peter 2:12).

Q: Excel: error in IF(D2>B2 AND (F2==auc OR F2==r2), D2-B2, B2-D2) What is wrong in my formula:
=IF(D2>B2 AND (F2==auc OR F2==r2), D2-B2, B2-D2)

auc and r2 are values in column F2.
I want the following logic:
if value in col D > val in col B AND metric is auc or r2 then D-B, else B-D
Now sure what is not correct in my expression.
Thanks!

A: You are writing it incorrectly. It should be:
=IF(AND(D2>B2, OR(F2="auc", F2="r2")), D2-B2, B2-D2)

In Excel, the functions' arguments are inside the parenthesis. Also you don't use == but =.

Social determinants have become a significant focus of many organizations and initiatives, including Healthy Peoplethe World Health Organization (WHO), and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (1–3).
Physical activity plays an important role for long-term health, and the preschool period is a vital developmental stage to establish healthy habits and behaviors. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of longitudinal studies examining the factors related to physical activity in young children.

Biologic explanations for disproportionate burdens of chronic illness, though strong and predictive, tend to focus on the behaviors of individuals rather than the risk-laden social conditions (e.g., income distributions and violation of human rights) that contributed to their development in the first place (12,13).
A prospective study design was used to identify the predictors of vigorous physical activity (VPA) (≥6 METs) and moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (≥3 METs) among rural, predominantly African-American children.
Selected social–cognitive determinants of physical activity were assessed via questionnaire in the fifth grade.

Donald Trump Taps Former Campaign Rival Ben Carson as Housing Secretary
"Ben shares my optimism about the future of our country"
By AP · Updated October 26, 2020
This article was originally published on TIME. Development. Trump's decision, announced early Monday by his transition office, comes as the real estate mogul continues a series of interviews, meetings with aides and other deliberations aimed at forming his administration. Subscribe to our daily newsletter for the latest in hair, beauty, style and celebrity news In a statement, Trump says he's "thrilled to nominate" Carson, saying he "has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communities." Carson has been coy about joining the new administration, saying shortly after Trump's election victory that he wasn't certain he'd fit into a Cabinet-style role. The discussion at that time centered on speculation that Carson might be selected to head the sprawling Department of Health and Human Services. Trump's statement Monday says, "Ben shares my optimism about the future of our country and is part of ensuring that this is a presidency representing all Americans."


Some reporters and right wing bloggers are accusing the White House of "coordinating" a question with The Huffington Post at today's press conference, suggesting this shows the White House cozying up to a lefty news outlet.
The White House, however, says No Dice. White House officials tell me they didn't ask the Huffington Post reporter, Nico Pitney, what his question would be, and didn't know what Pitney would be asking.
Of course not. For all the speculation about "coordination," there's even less here than meets the eye.
Let's talk a little about this process. Sometimes, presidents call on specific journalists because they know, not what the question will be, but what the subject matter is likely to cover. At one of his press conferences, for example, Obama called on a reporter from Stars & Stripes. Did the president know what the question was going to be? No. Did Obama know it was likely to have something to do with U.S. troops? You bet. And why is that? Because that's what Stars & Stripes covers.
Obama also not too long ago called on a journalist who covers the auto industry. He didn't know the question, but Obama had reason to assume it would have something to do with the auto industry, and the president had something to say. That was the point.
Indeed, even today, Obama called on Macarena Vidal of the Spanish-language E.F.E. news agency, and who asked about Chile and Colombia. Did the president know what the question was going to be? No. Did Obama know it was likely to have something to do with Latin America. Of course, which is why he called on her — the president wanted to talk about his upcoming talks with President Bachelet.
If someone has a legitimate concern about Nico's specific question, that's one thing. But that's just it — it was a terrific question that the president wasn't anxious to answer.


Video Marketing Singapore: What are the Considerations for Video Marketing?
Video marketing can be terms as marketing with video or marketing a video. Marketing with video simply means that you are focusing your marketing efforts with video. Marketing a video implies that you are devoting substantial marketing efforts to market a video which you have produced.
