Is our government using us as human guinea pigs?
Is our government drugging us, brainwashing our kids in the schools and implanting microchips in us?
Are they using nonlethal weapons on us?
Are they using radiation on us?
Are they using psycho surgery and electronic mind-control methods on us?
Are they reprogramming peoples' whole personalities?
It seems hard to believe, but I'm sorry to say that the answer to all of these questions, and more, is YES.
Our government is guilty of the same atrocities, and more, as those committed in the Nazi concentration camps. These practices are not just happening to an isolated group of people; they are happening to normal, everyday people--like you and me. No one is out of the grasp of the government. And ironically, it is you and me, the American taxpayers, who are underwriting the research and technological advancements that are being unleashed upon us in these top-secret, classified, government experiments.
Before I give you a brief overview of the history of mind control and the technological advances currently being used, I will answer the question I get asked most often--how and why did I begin researching the topic of mind control and working with survivors?
I became aware of our government's involvement in behavioral modification at a very young age as my father and two uncles worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and openly discussed many of these "behavioral modification" experiments. They were privy to this classified information, in part, as one uncle provided security for a renown Nazi doctor who was smuggled out of post-war Germany as a part of Operation Paperclip - a clandestine, U.S. governmental operation in which foreign war criminals were imported into the United States.
In spite of, or maybe because of, being exposed to these abhorrent realities occurring within our own government, I became a Christian in 1979. I started a ministry working with street gangs, satanism and ritual-abuse victims in 1982 and by 1985, I was being periodically approached by local police officials to consult on satanic ritual abuse (SRA) crimes.
I wrote a book in 1993, A Generation Deceived, on the new world order and its infiltration of the curriculum in our public schools. Since the 1980s, I've been providing consultation services for counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists who work with victims of domestic abuse and government mind-control experiments.
The use of mind control has been going on in one form or another since the beginning of time. This overview will begin from the Babylonian era to current time. The Babylonians and the Egyptians helped lay a foundation for occultism and the seeking these human experimentations in mind control and human behavior continue today.
Many people are unaware of the extent to which our U.S. government has been experimenting on its citizens. Ironically, it's the government's own documents on human experimentation that most effectively breaks through the denial barrier. Following are excerpts out of actual documents that were secured through the Freedom of Information Act.
"hypnotically increasing ability to learn and recall complex written matter," "hypnotically increasing ability to observe and recall a complex arrangement of physical objects" and "recall of hypnotically acquired information by very specific signals."
1. Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public."
Skipping to subhead 6 on the same document, "Materials which will render the induction of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness" and subhead 7, "Substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called "brain-washing."
Subhead 8 states, "Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use" and subhead 9 states, "Physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use."
Subhead 12 states, "Substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced."
So what does this all mean? One almost has to reread these quotes two or three times before the realization sinks in that our government's goal is to gain ultimate control over our minds. This is not much different than the goals of Adolf Hitler and The Third Reich.
Let's look at some of these statements more closely. Out of the first set of documents we learn that our government conducted experiments to learn how to hypnotically increase a person's ability to learn and recall complex written matter, to increase a person's ability to observe and recall complex arrangements of physical objects, and to enable a person to recall hypnotically-acquired information by very specific signals.
From the second set of documents we learn that our government has developed substances that will further put the U.S. citizens' minds under the control of the government. Through the use of chemical substances, the government can induce an altered state of consciousness in individuals and/or the masses. It is during this drug-induced, hypnotically-suggestible state that programming is placed into the mind through a multitude of stimuli. In essence, our government has extracted enough of hidden knowledge or "enlightenment."
In these religions' earliest writings, they give reference to rituals where abuse takes place describing methods of torture to create trauma. The writings also cite the use of potions as drugging agents and the use of witchcraft and hypnotism to enslave their victims. It was through these means that the leaders of the time were attempting to control the mass of the common people.
Another attempt at controlling the populace is documented in history during the 13th century when the Catholic Church used inquisitions to bring the masses under control. Those who did not submit to the beliefs of the leaders were eliminated. They were branded heretics, witches or other socially-accepted "criminal" labels of the time and persecuted, with or without justification. Once again history shows us an attempt to control the minds of the people.
Their choices were to convert, conform or die.
Without getting into more specific types of mind-control techniques used by one religious group or another, these few examples document efforts to control people through the use of religious institutions. This practice has continued throughout the centuries and evolved to a point where our churches today play a key role in shaping members' belief systems as well as influencing how their time and money are spent.
By 1776, systematic, organized mind control was beginning to rear its ugly head. A Bavarian Jesuit named Adam Weishaupt was commissioned by the House of Rothschild to centralize the powers of the mystery religions into what is commonly known as the Illuminati or the "enlightened ones."
The word Illuminati originates from the word Lucifer which means "bearer of the light." In essence, this was the laying of the foundation of the new world order with the goal of establishing a one-world religion, a one-world government and a one-world banking system.
This one-world goal aligned the world's very rich with the most powerful generational bloodlines of satanism. So we have the joining of satanists and the plutocrats reaching out for the supreme power - control of the people.
To illustrate how successful the Illuminati has been in permeating our society with their one-world agenda, let's look at one of their offshoot organizations, the Scottish Rite Masons. As we delve into this discussion keep in mind that all but two U.S. presidents, Kennedy and Lincoln, were Masons of the 32nd degree or higher and that a large number of senators, congressmen, governors, judges, lawyers and police chiefs are also Masons of the 32nd degree or higher.
"To you, Sovereign, Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine."
Pike issued these instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the world on July 14, 1889, at which time he simultaneously held the positions of Sovereign Pontiff of Universal Freemasonry, Grand Master of the Central Directory of Washington, and Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of Charleston. Additionally, he authored Morals and Dogma which served as the Masonic "bible."
Let's take a closer look at this quote - "the Masonic religion" and "maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine."
This is hardly the type of oath one would expect elected governmental officials of the free world to be pledging unless, of course, you understand the plot of the Illuminati, a secret society of luciferians, to overthrow the government of the United States by the year 2000 and create a global dictatorship. By pledging an allegiance to a luciferian-based religious organization, albeit masked by good deeds, our governmental and judicial officials are becoming underlings of the new world order and pawns and puppets of the Illuminati.
By the late 1800s and early 1900s the study of psychology and psychiatry greatly advanced methods of mind control. In the early 1900s the basis for human mind control through conditioning and hypnosis was being set in motion by Ivan Pavlov when he conducted experiments in which a bell was rung prior to feeding dogs. The dogs' natural physiological response to food, salivating, was soon associated with the ringing of the bell.
After a period of conditioning or "programming," simply ringing the bell would "trigger" the dogs to salivate.
From the beginning of time, the bottom line has always been power and control. With the knowledge of mind control emerging from these "new" science studies of the mind, the new world order realized the group that perfected this "new" science would have the knowledge that would enable them to control the world.
This quest for world dominance brought about the funding of Tavistock in England and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Germany by the plutocrats which included the Rockefeller Foundation as well as many others. In 1932, Tavistock was led by Kurt Lewin, a German psychologist. Studies during this time were focused on mind-control experiments to determine the "breaking point" of the human psyche.
At this same time the Nazis were coming to power in Germany and were conducting eugenics experiments to create a new master race. A top SS (Schutzstaffel) officer, Heinrich Himmler, headed a project named Lebersborn in which children were selectively bred. Many of these bred children were genetically engineered sets of twins who were separated and "placed" in adoptive families and then were monitored and studied. These pairs of separated twins were viewed as the ultimate study in behavioral modification because they were able to use one twin as a control point to gauge the other twin's response.
The programming used on these children was quite sophisticated and included preconditioned, trained responses triggered by code words, mnemonic cues and audio-reversed messages and tones that activated the programming. This "new" science had reached a level of critical mass, a point of no return, and the repercussions would shape not only the coming war years but life thereafter.
As war broke out, the concentration camps gave Hitler's SS officers an unlimited supply of victims on whom to further their experiments of the human psyche in order to perfect the ability to engineer an Aryan race. Himmler's studies on twins were later so barbarically advanced by Joseph Mengele at Auschwitz that they are still referred to today as Mengele's twins.
These experiments were conducted without any regard for normal societal limitations and included the following horrid atrocities: surgical experimentation, electroshock, mutilation, impregnation, trauma bonding, eye-color experimentation, drugging, deprivation of every kind, hypnosis, hypno-programming and personality splitting.
Although other countries conducted human experiments of less quantity during the war, it was the Nazis who so grossly violated the Geneva Convention guidelines of prisoner treatment. The Nazis and their experiments were, in part, funded by the Catholic Church who, at the end of the war, helped transport many Nazis to freedom through the ratline. The Catholic Church has since acknowledged and apologized for these actions.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Defense secretly orchestrated and funded the escape of many high-ranking Nazi doctors and scientists by using the channels provided by the Vatican, bringing German, as well as Italian, "enemies" to the United States via South America and Canada. During this importation process, code named Operation Paperclip, these illegal aliens were made "legal" by our U.S. government when they provided these war criminals with new identities.
These doctors and scientists were viewed by the U.S. government as valuable assets to acquire because of the vast amount of knowledge they possessed from their "work" in the Nazi concentration camps. The raw-scientific data generated from these brutal wartime experiments enabled these doctors and scientists to formulate advanced, unprecedented theories of mind control. It is no secret that knowledge gives power; by securing possession of these doctors and scientists, the United States gained control of the "science" of mind-control knowledge.
One might assume that the United States gained control of this new science in order to protect U.S. citizens from enemy mind-control techniques. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Instead, the U.S. government created clandestine operations specifically designed to implement and test these mind-control theories.
These projects, just to name a few, had code names such as MKULTRA, Artichoke, Bluebird, MKSEARCH and MKDELTA. It was during these top-level operations that these mind-control theories were refined and advanced.
"These activities are part of history, not the current practice of the CIA," knowledge from these experiments to create actual mind-control slaves for the U.S. government.
How is this programming put in place, and how does it actually work?
The government utilizes people who are expertly trained in mind control and programming. This knowledge originated from the doctors and scientists who were brought over as part of Operation Paperclip. Usually a person has one primary programmer but is assigned several "handlers." Handlers are people who are interwoven into the person's programming.
The "handlers" help manage the programmed individual and often provide a physical presence which acts to enforce the programming. The programmer will use mind-altering drugs to destabilize a person's state of mind, place them under hypnosis and insert into their mind a "program."
These "programs" consist of a preset sequence of events, often called the road map of their mission, as well as preset signals that the government will later use as triggers to activate the hidden programming and to retrieve information the individual may have been programmed to gather. For example, the government can program someone to infiltrate a group, to instigate trouble and/or just to report information back to the government.
Keep in mind that this is just a very simplistic example and that these mind-control methods can be used for much more sophisticated purposes.
These documents prove that the U.S. government has been using our tax dollars, at least since the 1950s, to develop techniques and substances that will further put the U.S. citizen under their control. When the government uses chemicals to "promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness" and to "render the induction of hypnosis easier," they are stripping people of their free will and of their natural abilities to protect, not only their physical beings, but also their minds.
When the government has materials and physical methods which create amnesiac barriers within a person's own mind, they control what information the person has access to and what information is hidden behind the amnesiac walls - such as the knowledge that they are even being used in mind-control experiments or missions. In essence, once the government has these amnesiac walls in place, they can use and reuse these people over and over again, recycling them to new projects.
These individuals have no knowledge of being tampered with in the first place as that knowledge is also "locked" behind amnesiac walls. Even if these governmental guinea pigs experience memory breakthrough, the "powers that be" have taken measures to try and ensure that these individuals discredit themselves in public.
"substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public."
One may be led to falsely believe that these experiments are being conducted on only a few people and have nothing to do with the average U.S. citizen. This is a dangerous sense of false security. Hundreds of hospitals nationwide and several in Canada have been used as sites in which private physicians conduct these experiments after having been privately contracted by the U.S. and Canadian governments. These government "subcontractors" are paid fees well in excess of any industry standard.
You, the American taxpayer are buying the large houses and fancy cars of these "subcontractors."
You, the American taxpayer are paying to have developed the latest technology, a microchip implant called the biochip, that can be used against you, your children and your grandchildren to control your minds. You, the American taxpayer have paid restitution to foreign victims of our government's misuse of power.
"the federal government will pay $100,000 each to victims of brainwashing experiments funded by Canada and the CIA between 1950 and 1965."
One of the victims was a mother of five children. Nobody is immune.
...and how it is being utilized in programming, examples of programming hardware, and examples of programming structure.
"substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced."
It should be of no surprise that "another person" is the government programmer and handlers assigned to this "recipient."

In a recent interview, the jewellery designer from Bali insulted the Honey badger by calling him a "prawn".
"I feel like it is more of a prawn situation," she told the Daily Telegraph. "I am serious, it is more of a good body but anything shoulder up is debatable."
According to Urban Dictionary, the term 'prawn' means "that has a mad body but a bad face … it comes from when you eat a prawn, you eat the body and throw away the head".

The Census Bureau reported the income of most American households has remained stubbornly flat over the past three decades except for the elderly who have seen their financial circumstances improve dramatically, far outpacing every other demographic group. An analysis of household income from 1969 to 1996 showed a 57% rise in real median income for married couples over age 65, dwarfing the 6.3% increase for all households. Among elderly people living alone, incomes went up even more, 63%.
The improvements can be traced largely to increases in Social Security benefits and pensions, but also reflect the effect of the G.I. Bill that gave many more college educations, a booming real estate market and the entry of more women into the labor force.
The transformation has been dramatic; the elderly who in the 1960s were the segment of the population most likely to live in poverty now are the least likely to be poor. In fact, the result has been to create a very different profile of retirement and aging. As late as the 1960s, many elderly ended up in county homes for the aged, a bed of last resort for those without income, family or health care coverage. Now, most older Americans are able to either live at home or, in a small but growing number of cases, move into retirement communities and assisted living facilities that enable them to live more active lives.
For tax years beginning after 1997, qualified distributions from a Roth IRA and distributions rolled over from one Roth IRA to another are excluded from gross income for New Jersey personal income tax purposes. Amounts rolled over from a traditional, non-Roth IRA to a Roth IRA are now specifically included in New Jersey gross income. However, with respect to distributions made before January 1, 1999, any amount required to be included in gross income under this provision is to be included ratably over the four-taxable-year period beginning with the tax year in which the payment or distribution is made.
There is a one time benefit of converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, that is the tax on the conversion will be payable over a four year period. The benefit is not only an income tax benefit, but an estate tax one too. But the conversion must occur on or before December 31, 1998, so contact your tax advisor or investment advisor as soon as possible.
Many individuals have asked why we moved to 450 Seventh Avenue. Let me answer it this way. Selecting the right location for a business facility can yield significant strategic and economic benefits - improved market access, reduced operating costs and increased productivity. The globalization of business, increased competitors, consolidation and mergers within several industries, and search for efficiency have propelled many companies to use site location as a means to increase their competitive advantage. And that is why we moved. Please come and see our new New York Office.
It took Desert Storm to make most of us take notice of CNN (Cable News Network) even though it was there all the time. The event that made us notice the Internet, the real red letter day was September 11, 1998 when the Starr Report was available first on the Internet and then on September 12, 1998 a full day later it could be read in print. Say what you will about Ken Starr but he made the Internet.
I have been writing these newsletters for almost fifteen years. In all that time I have never received such response as I did about the August newsletter, and it was positive, too!

Describe the future of population health through the use of a future press release set sometime in the future
Writing question
Describe the future of population health through the use of a future press release set sometime in the future (identify the date). The Future Press Release is a tool used by Amazon as it is described as a great approach to define clear and lofty goals, requirements and objectives and build broad understanding from the start of a program or enterprise change. Imagine that your organization is beginning to undertake a critical enterprise or competitive endeavor. It could be to launch a new service, a transformation, or enter a new market.
There are rules to make these effective:
Rule 1: Must be stated at a future point in time where success has been achieved and realized. Press releases at "launch†are good, but a better one is sometime after launch, where true success can be discussed.
Rule 2: Discuss why it was important, especially to either the population served in terms of clinical and financial outcomes. Discuss the accomplishments first in terms of why it is important to stakeholders. Then discuss other reasons why it was important and key goals.
Rule 3: Set an audacious and clear goal: Articulate clear measurable results including clinical and financial outcomes.
Rule 4: Outline the principles used that led to success. This is the trickiest, and more important. Outline the hard things accomplished, the important decisions, the design principles that led to success. Discuss the issues that had to be addressed to have success in improving the populations' health.
Required Resources: what special resources are required, if any?

NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick Has Gone Country
Chris Kirkpatrick was the first celebrity performer to appear on stage at the Wildhorse (after John Rich did his pre-show for Gone Country 2).
Chris was the mysterious Elvis-looking character that everyone was talking about while waiting in line for the "red carpet event" to wrap up.
His purple jacket could be seen from miles away. He wore it well.
Chris Kirkpatrick is probably best known for his time with 'N Sync.
After being the first runner-up for a spot in the Backstreet Boys, a disappointed Kirkpatrick approached Lou Pearlman with an idea to start another group, and thus formed the nucleus for 'N Sync. Source
The song he performed for the season finale of Gone Country 2 was "That Will Get You By". He wrote it with the help of Nashville songwriters, Trevor Rosen and Shane Minor.
Overall, we thought the song itself was a really good one — well written. Could be a hit.
Thus, it would appear that Chris Kirkpatrick has some good songwriting skills up his sleeve, as this song appeared to be from his heart.
His performance of the song though could have been stronger. He seemed a tad off-key at times or like parts were stretch for him vocally.
Maybe he was just nervous, or had an off night… But he's a great entertainer, and he seemed to connect with the crowd well.
I'd say he's got a decent shot at winning this thing.

Thread: What TV Have You Seen?

Active Cultist
A Sit-Com where Jason Biggs is a Father of 3 genius Children and he and his Wife try to deal with all their shenanigans especially 2 of them a comedic borderline psychopathic. Cancelled after 10 episodes, it wasn't all that bad, it definitely had it's moments. A fun moment was when Alyson Hannigan and Eddie Kaye Thomas appeared as fellow Parents and there was an American Pie joke, I cracked up.
Season 1 which sees Tom Payne as a Police Profiler with a Father (Michael Sheen) who is a notorious Serial Killer. The Season follows numerous individual storylines with a couple of Season long storylines.
It had a great start, faltered in the middle but had a really hot ending (Like the Movie Gone Girl). Sheen is awesome with great support including Lou Diamond Phillips and Keiko Agena as a slightly bonkers Coroner.
Waiting for Sky to start Season 2, it's 2021 surely with the advent of streaming websites, surely the gap between showings in The U.S. and U.K TV shouldn't be as long.
It's the same with other shows like Bull, NCIS, Young Sheldon...etc.

The Howard County school board, shown in an April meeting, this month adopted an updated policy affirming its commitment to educating all students.
Howard County's school board has adopted a new policy reinforcing its commitment to guarantee education for all, regardless of immigration status.
The move comes amid a changing climate in the nation over undocumented residents and "removes the fear and anxiety that some of our families are facing today," said Hector Garcia, CEO of Foreign-born Information and Referral Network, a Columbia nonprofit that helps immigrants.
The policy was forged by a 30-member committee of students, parents and representatives from local organizations established by the school board last year.
"What [the school board] wanted to do was reaffirm the responsibilities of the school system staff and also talk about things that we are not doing, [for example] we are not collecting certain data on students and families," schools spokesman Brian Bassett said.
The school system does not collect or maintain data or information on immigration status of a current or prospective student.
The policy, approved earlier this month, will go in effect on July 1, 2019, allowing the school system time to roll out program planning, a protocol of most policies, according to Cherise Hunter, the school system's policy manager.
"In times right now where we have our undocumented families being threatened on the federal level by our current [presidential] administration," said Chavarria, who works with undocumented residents in the county and who sits on the board of directors of the Maryland State Education Association and National Education Association.
Congress has grappled with reforming the nation's immigration laws for decades and President Donald Trump has called undocumented immigrants "animals" and has pledged build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
The Howard policy is centralizing all the directives that the school has had in place for foreign-born students in one official document.
"If this policy didn't exist these things would still be happening," Bassett said.
A landmark 1982 Supreme Court ruling declared public schools cannot deny students access to education based on their immigration status.
The policy affirms that all children have access to the same educational programs and "ensures we [the school system] will not harass or discriminate based on ethnic background or statuses," said Garcia.
In 2011, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency developed a policy regarding "sensitive locations," that are not subject to certain enforcement actions, such as arrests, interviews and searches.
Schools are listed as a sensitive location, according to ICE. Unless federal, state or local law mandates otherwise, no immigrant enforcement actions can take place on any property owned or leased by the school system, according to the school system's policy.
The school system itself has a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment or intimidation directed towards a "student's birthplace or real or perceived immigration status," as stated in the policy.
In September 2017, the school board adopted a resolution declaring all school system facilities safe zones for all students and families, regardless of their immigration or citizenship status. The resolution also declared school system staff would not request students or families to disclose information about their immigration status.
The county police department does not report undocumented individuals to ICE nor does it have authority to enforce violations of federal immigration laws, according to department police.
In May 2017, the police department created a new policy that reaffirmed its commitment to fair treatment of all members of the community, regardless of immigration status, according to the police department.
Garcia said Howard is "way ahead of other counties and cities," in addressing immigration issues.
"Taking it to the school level in order to address any issues that we may have with children is a huge step," he said.


Is service of self tour rental vacancy without landlord, a good idea?

Is New Self-Help Rental Tour a Good Idea?
There is a new service now available that allows renters to self-tour a vacancy without the landlord. It is the first no appointment showing site for rental properties.
According to its founders, two college students and renters, Rently.com was designed to free apartment hunters from the hassles of the back and forth of calling to schedule a tour. They say it also makes showing vacancies easier for landlords and managers by eliminating time spent on the phone and in transit to unproductive showings.
This technology automates the entire vacancy showing process using the company's QR stickers on For-Rent signs, and a unique link on existing channels, like Craigslist.
When a renter interacts with the vacancy QR sticker or link in an advertisement, a user account with credit card verification is created. The renter can then go out and see the vacancy and an entry code is delivered via smartphone upon arrival. The access code can only be used once on a high tech electronic lockbox. Managers and landlords pay $99 per vacancy, and Rently markets online until it rents.
The company provides state of the art electronic lockboxes that rotate access codes every hour. All visits are logged and monitored by a customer service team 7 days a week. The company offers to reimburse the landlord for any loss or damage as a result of Rently-enabled showings.
The service has received positive testimonials from property managers, but there is some concern that the current system will work out better for prospective renters than for landlords. For instance, having a credit card may not mean that the person taking a tour is a qualified renter. The landlord isn't present to point out the best features of the property. Because the service is free to renters, there will undoubtedly be some curiosity-seekers who don't intend to move in.
At some juncture, the renter will have to take the time to sit down with the landlord and discuss the terms of the lease. There seems little question that a self-help tour option will generate more renter leads. The big question, however, is whether it will generate qualified leads.

HARRISBURG - Rep. Stan Saylor (R-York) announced that the Basic Education Funding Commission recommended today that the General Assembly adopt a new formula for distributing state funding for basic education to Pennsylvania's 500 school districts.
Saylor, who is the chairman of the House Education Committee and one of the 15 people appointed to the commission, said the group undertook an extensive and comprehensive study of a number of factors before arriving ultimately at a consensus on a new formula that will benefit school districts, parents and children.
• Create a base funding year with a dollar amount and money under Hold Harmless would flow as normal up until that base year, and money after that would be subjected to a new formula.
• For schools that are getting more than needed under Hold Harmless there would be a gradual reduction each year until they are cash balanced under a new formula so that no harm is done.
• Completely eliminate Hold Harmless by phasing it out over a 10-year period.
The commission did not endorse any of those three options.
The commission also looked into school consolidations, technical and career education, and the unfunded mandates for gifted students.
The report noted that consolidation, could in some cases, provide administrative savings which may lead to greater learning opportunities for students. Consolidations may be done with services, administrative staff, with buildings, or entire school districts.
While a consolidation study may indicate many benefits and cost savings for a school district down the road, oftentimes the initial costs dissuade consolidations from moving forward. The commission recommended that the General Assembly consider capitalizing a fund within the Department of Education to assist school districts with startup costs to encourage consolidations where they would be beneficial.
The commission also recognized the contribution career and technical education schools make to our economy. Students come out of these schools with very low debt loads and in most cases 90 percent or more of them land good-paying careers shortly after graduation. The commission recommended that the General Assembly consider including studying the additional costs relating to career and technical education and account for these in a funding formula to further support these programs.
Currently, school districts are mandated to provide additional services for gifted students, without any additional funding.. The commission's report recommended that the Department of Education and the General Assembly look into exactly what the additional costs are for meeting these mandates for gifted students and consider including some type of factor reflecting those extra costs in an existing funding formula.

From Law to Turnkey: Negotiating Sustainability in Buildings
Müller Liana
This PhD thesis provides an analysis of central processes related to the creation, negotiation and communication of the future sustainable building in Norway. Both researchers and practitioners have pointed at the Planning and Building Act as a central means to speed up the process and to set the frames for a sustainable development. Based on interviews with experts, I conclude that the building laws are never a direct translation of research results, EU directives and international agreements. These have to be translated, adapted and mediated, i.e. domesticated, to the Norwegian climate and cultural conditions. Particularly in Norway, building researchers consider the Passive Houses (PH), extra-low energy buildings with a focus on energy efficiency, as a necessary step in a sustainable development of buildings. A closer scrutiny of the PH development in Germany and Austria helps us to understand and describe the factors that have made the voluntary PH standard a success in these two countries. However, the initial political support for the Norwegian PH standard as technical requirement ignited a controversy among engineers, architects, physicians, physicists, policy-makers and practitioners. In the analysis of this path-dependency controversy I conclude that the disagreements address the technological concept but also its implications in society, health, culture, research and education. The knowledge produced in the research environment and the political decisions are brought to a broader public by the media. The analysis of newspaper articles on low energy concepts reveals that the media in Norway has relied heavily on experts' knowledge to mediate the news: also the mediation of the sustainable building has become an expert task, with little public scrutiny.

Generally, annuities are unconditionally backed by insurance companies. By investing conservatively and hedging their exposure to stock and bond market fluctuations, insurance companies can guarantee savers a minimum interest regardless of market down-turns. If indexes rise during the annuity term, the annuity owner shares the gain with the insurance company without risk to his premium deposit. If the market drops, the owner gets a minimum guaranteed interest.

The first time I heard of Dr. Ralph Northam was when a campaign ad hit the news during his recent run for governor of Virginia. The ad portrayed Northam's Republican opponent Ed Gillespie as a racist pervert in a pickup truck terrifying small children.
Next time I heard of the good doctor he was Governor Northam. And he was describing how a baby surviving a late term abortion would be kept comfortable while the parents and doctors decided its fate.
Then came the two guys in klan gear and blackface on his med school yearbook page. Followed by his moonwalk press conference and his confession that he dressed in blackface for a Michael Jackson dance contest. He says he won.
Red-faced
Red-faced Democratic elites called for his resignation. Until the next in line of succession, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, was accused of sexual assault. (Btw, he's being represented by Brett Kavanaugh's attorney while his accuser is represented by Christine Blasey Ford's attorney.)
Anyway, next man up is Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring. Oops, more blackface.
Next in line? Virginia House Speaker Kirk Cox, a Republican

Christine Blasey Ford Presents Award
The publisher of the popular Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue gave its Inspiration of the Year award to Rachael Denhollander. Rachel was the first to accuse Dr. Larry Nasser of sexually abusing her as a young gymnast under his care. And over 150 other other victims came forward to corroborate her story.
Here testimony put Dr. Nasser in prison for 175 years. And his employer, Michigan State University, paid $500 million in settlements to 332 victims. Vox has has an in depth story of what happened here.
Christine Blasey Ford made a video presentation of the award. She claims to be a victim too. She accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of molesting her at a high school party. But no one corroborated her story. Nor could she remember when or where the alleged assault happened or how she got there or got home.
Judge Kavanaugh was put on the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Dow hit another record high yesterday. Unemployment is at a record low. Though The Hill says the 4.1% rate is more like 8% when you include the underemployed. At any rate over half of those polled by CNBC rated the economy as "good" or "excellent.
Yet life expectancy declined in the U.S. from 76.3 to 76.1 years for men. The rate for women held steady at 81.1 years. The Washington Post reported that 63,632 people died of overdoses in 2016 and 42,000 of those were from opioids.
National Review's David French notes that more people died from overdoses last year than in the entire Vietnam war.

Niels Albert (né le  à Bonheiden) est un ancien coureur cycliste belge spécialisé dans la pratique du cyclo-cross. Professionnel de 2006 à 2014, il termine sa carrière au sein de l'équipe BKCP-Powerplus. Il a notamment remporté quatre titres de champions du monde de cyclo-cross : en 2004 chez les juniors, en 2008 chez les espoirs et en 2009 et 2012 chez les élites. En , il annonce qu'il arrête sa carrière à cause de graves problèmes cardiaques. Il est actuellement directeur sportif de l'équipe Verandas Willems-Crelan.

Biographie

Les débuts
Tout comme son compatriote et principal rival Sven Nys, Niels Albert commence par le BMX. En 1998 et 1999, dans les catégories de jeune, il devient champion de Belgique à deux reprises de cette discipline. Albert choisit finalement de s'orienter vers le cyclo-cross. Il est rapidement considéré comme l'un des grands talents de ce sport. En 2001, il termine troisième du championnat de Belgique de cyclo-cross cadets remporté par Dieter Vanthourenhout. L'année suivante, il prend sa revanche et enlève son premier titre national sur cette même épreuve.

Premiers titres (2003-2008)
Lors de la saison 2003-2004, il rafle tout chez les juniors (17/18 ans). Il devient champion de Belgique, champion d'Europe et champion du monde.

En 2004-2005, pour sa première saison chez les espoirs (moins de 23 ans), il remporte une manche de la Coupe du monde espoirs à Hofstade, ainsi que le Superprestige espoirs. L'année suivante, il devient champion d'Europe et de Belgique de cyclo-cross espoirs. Mais, il échoue dans sa quête de titre mondial et doit se contenter d'une médaille de bronze derrière le Tchèque Zdeněk Štybar et le Néerlandais Lars Boom. Il s'adjuge deux nouvelles manches de la Coupe du monde espoirs, les classements du Superprestige espoirs - où il remporte sept des huit manches - et du Trophée Gazet van Antwerpen espoirs. En 2006, il signe au sein de l'équipe continentale Palmans-Collstrop

En , il remporte le Grand Prix de Neerpelt, sa première victoire face à des élites. Cette saison 2006-2007 est une copie de la saison précédente. Il court une nouvelle fois avec les espoirs. Il conserve ses titres de champion d'Europe et de Belgique espoirs. Il remporte pour la troisième fois le Superprestige espoirs où il s'adjuge sept des huit manches. Aux championnats du monde espoirs, il termine deuxième derrière un Lars Boom intouchable.
Lors de la saison 2007, sur route, il termine troisième des Boucles de la Mayenne. Son été 2007 est malchanceux. Début juillet, il chute lourdement avec un autre coureur  lors d'une kermesse à Melle. Il est victime d'une blessure à la tête et d'une fracture de la clavicule. Niels Albert récupère rapidement de ses opérations et reprend l'entrainement. Six semaines après son premier accident, il subit une nouvelle chute pendant un entrainement et souffre d'une commotion cérébrale. Malgré la malchance, il devient pour la troisième fois champion d'Europe espoirs en novembre. Le , il termine troisième de son premier championnat de Belgique élites, à quatre secondes du champion Sven Nys.  Le , il devient à Trévise pour la première fois champion du monde de cyclo-cross espoirs. Il remporte également la  Coupe du monde espoirs et trois manches du Superprestige élites.

Le , il est victime d'un accident lors de l'échauffement de la course à Asper-Gavere. Dans une descente, il tombe et son guidon frappe sa poitrine. Il est emmené à l'hôpital universitaire de Gand en raison de saignements dans sa rate. Le verdict est sévère : pas de cyclo-cross pendant six semaines. Après une longue période de repos et de remise en forme, il reprend la compétition le  avec son premier cyclo-cross, où il termine onzième.

Carrière professionnelle (2009-2014)
En 2009, Niels Albert rejoint la nouvelle équipe BKCP-Powerplus.

Le , il devient à Hoogerheide, aux Pays-Bas, champion du monde de cyclo-cross pour sa première participation avec les élites. Il devance tous les favoris, y compris le champion sortant Lars Boom. Par la suite, il participe à des courses sur route. Il remporte quelques victoires : le prologue des Boucles de la Mayenne, les  et  du Tour Alsace et la  de la Mi-août bretonne. Le , lors de l'élection du sportif belge de l'année, il annonce son souhait de continuer le cyclo-cross jusqu'aux mondiaux 2012, avant d'envisager par la suite une carrière sur route.  La saison 2009-2010 est moins bonne pour le Belge, même s'il remporte quatre manches de la Coupe du monde, il doit céder son titre mondial au Tchèque Zdeněk Štybar sans être en mesure de peser sur la course. En 2010-2011, il s'adjuge pour la première fois la Coupe du monde et devient le  champion de Belgique. Son rival Sven Nys a abandonné la course. Niels Albert termine par la suite seulement  du mondial, la faute à un mauvais départ et une crevaison.

La saison 2011-2012 de cyclo-cross débute bien pour Albert. Il gagne plusieurs courses dès le début de saison et se positionne en vainqueur potentiel dans les différents challenge (Coupe du monde, Superprestige, Trophée Gazet van Antwerpen). Le , il subit une fêlure à l'os trapézoïde de la main gauche. Ses ambitions se reportent alors vers les championnats de Belgique et les mondiaux, disputés en deuxième partie de saison. Après avoir pris la deuxième place du championnat de Belgique derrière Sven Nys, il devient Champion du monde de cyclo-cross à Coxyde. Il devance six coureurs belges.

Sa saison 2012-2013 est marquée par deux victoires finales sur la Coupe du monde et le Trophée Banque Bpost. Il ne conserve pas son titre mondial, où il prend la . Il remporte neuf nouvelles victoires la saison suivante, dont deux Coupe du monde. Ce seront ses dernières victoires professionnelles.

Sa carrière prend fin brusquement le , quand Albert, âgé de 28 ans, annonce sa retraite en tant que cycliste professionnel, en raison de problèmes cardiaques. Son compatriote et rival, Sven Nys, déclare qu'il l'a .

Après carrière
En , il est recruté comme directeur sportif de la section cyclo-cross au sein de l'équipe Vastgoedservice-Golden Palace. En , il ouvre un magasin de vélo à Tremelo, en Belgique.

Daybreak wants to help people dealing with drinking problems find a support network
News » Daybreak wants to help people dealing with drinking problems find a support network
James Ward - January 17, 2017 3 MIN READ
Picturing the stereotypical Australian adult male typically brings to mind a man slouched in a camp chair in their thongs and shorts, holding a jar Vegemite in one hand and a beer in the other. Whether this depiction of Australians is anywhere near accurate or not, it's hard to deny that drinking is considered a societal norm for our nation's adults.
If you're out with friends and turn away a drink, it's not uncommon to be passed a scornful glance from at least one other person. Societal attitudes towards drinking see over a third of Australians over the age of 14 drinking alcohol on a weekly basis, while 3.5 million people consume a level that puts them at a high-risk of developing alcohol related diseases, according to the last National Drug Survey.
Within these numbers, alcohol abuse and alcoholism have become dense issues in Australia, a matter which Sydney startup Hello Sunday Morning looks to solve with its new app, Daybreak.
The app looks to help people change their relationship with alcohol by providing an online support platform that enables users to access a network of other users facing a similar challenge.
The word 'challenge' is used quite literally here, as a key functionality of the app is to provide users with a set of objectives to reduce their alcohol consumption, which can then be shared with other users.
Hello Sunday Morning's founder Chris Raine explained that sharing experiences with other users is key to informing the app's platform, which functions as a private online community.
To access the community platform, users have to first create their profile using the app, a process which involves completing an Online Motivational Interview that asks the user questions about their goals and current alcohol consumption. The data gained from this questionnaire helps inform the type of advice and challenges which are posed to the user.
"These challenges are specific for the user, such as drinking only a certain amount when you go out," explained Raine.
Additional challenges can added through a 'choices' menu, which also provides the user advice on how to complete it and the benefits of completing it.
"You can then share challenges with the online community. People going through the same challenge can give you support or suggestions," Raine said.
Users can interact with the community by accessing the 'home' section, which provides a news feed of other users' blog posts. A user can support another with the 'like' button system and comments. Beyond a two week free period, access to Daybreak costs $59 per year.
The creation of Daybreak came from the success of the startup's trademark platform, also entitled Hello Sunday Morning. The "charity platform" was developed in 2010 after Raine decided to quit drinking for a year and post his experiences as a blog.
"I had all these other people getting in touch saying that's also something they wanted to say, so I decided to focus developing a platform around that," he said.
The platform functions similar to Daybreak, offering a space for people to share their stories, blog, and undertake programs aimed to help reduce alcohol consumption. The Daybreak mobile app acts as an extension of the online platform, allowing the startup to develop features such as a near 24 hour live chat support.
"More complex issues can be helped by using the app to have a live chat with a clinical psychologist," said Raine.
These psychologists, coupled with a clinical advisory committee, helped inform the startup's entire content base, a process which Raine said he underwent to ensure the app's information and features were accurate and effective.
Still in beta, Raine listed Daybreak on the app store for the purpose of gaining more data from users to continue to shape the app's content.
The startup has gained some big supporters to help push through this stage, with Google contributing $750,000 this year to help the business develop machine learning functionality into the app. Should this feature reach fruition, the app will have an AI providing users support based on current data, while being able to learn and adapt when new data comes along.
Raine said another unnamed large foundation is also about to "re-up in a big way" in the near future. In the meantime, the business received support from the Vodafone Foundation, NIB Foundation and Macquarie Group Foundation in addition to partnering with certain Public Health Network's (PHN) across Australia to distribute licences for the app.
"If you live within certain regions, you can go to your local GP who will give you the licence if free if you're having issues," said Raine.
Three months after release, Daybreak has gained 4500 users, a portion of which Raine accounts to the users transferring from the Hello Sunday Morning platform over to the app.
The app provides a unique alternative to attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, whereby the users are access a support network at any point in the day and while they're on the go. Partnering with an AA group could be a potential avenue that the business could explore, although aside from continuing the relocation process from Hello Sunday Morning, the founder said he wants to continue curating information to help build a strong and accurate platform that will trigger the app's full release.
"I have complete confidence in our development team to build strong features for our users," said Raine.

FSD1228 Welfare Survey 1996
Social Insurance Institution of Finland
University of Turku. Department of Social Policy
health, housing, interpersonal relations, poverty, satisfaction, social security, social security benefits, social values, social welfare finance, unemployment, welfare, working conditions
The survey charted Finnish perceptions of social security. Respondents were asked about the their own and spouse's/partner's job, length of the contract, employment sector, working hours, wages, the nature of their job, interest in job sharing and whether they or spouses/partners had been unemployed or laid off during the past three years. Interest in changing their economic activity (e.g. by taking a part-time job, retiring, founding an enterprise) was queried. Unemployed or laid off respondents were asked how long they had been out of work and how soon they expected to find a job. Further questions pertained to unemployment benefits, participation in job training and standard of living.
State of health was examined by asking whether respondents had chronic illnesses or health problems affecting their everyday life or ability to work. Chronically ill persons were asked whether they needed regular medical care, rehabilitation or prescription drugs. Experiences of burnout, insomnia or absent-mindedness were charted. Social relationships were studied by asking about close relationships and frequency of contacts. Respondents were asked whether there had been any major changes in their life recently and did they feel they could influence their own life, other people and social issues. One topic covered voting in the 1994 presidential elections, in the 1994 EU referendum and in the 1995 parliamentary elections.
The survey carried a set of attitudinal statements relating to e.g. social and health services, social security, public sector financing, means-tested social benefits, universal basic income (UBI, citizen's income), taxation and income disparity. The extent to which respondents felt able to control their life was surveyed by asking how often they felt uncertainty or indifference, felt their actions were meaningless or that their life was interesting. Confidence in their own ability to solve problems or co-operate with others was assessed. Values were charted by asking how important the following things are to the respondent: religion, religious values, political participation, health services, social services, work, nature, education opportunities, neighbourhood, consumer opportunities, culture, world peace, science and high standard of living.
One topic covered household income, expenses and social benefits received. Further questions covered various aspects of housing (tenure, size, satisfaction with neighbourhood, expenses). Respondents' satisfaction with and changes in their standard of living were charted. Opinions on the minimum level of income support were canvassed. Finally, respondents were asked whether they felt poor or debt-laden.
Background variables included respondents' sex, year of birth, marital status, household structure, basic and vocational education, respondents' and spouses' economic activity and occupation.

Future Breakthroughs
Date Thursday - June 3, 2010
Guests Jim Channon, Robert Vicino
Full show audio not available
Vicino: Vivos Project
Windows Player
Army Think Tank & Psychic Skills
Futurism, Principles, & Opportunities
Strategic visionary Jim Channon discussed how to build Global Social Intelligence through various principles, as well as breakthroughs that will guide our planet toward a brighter future. Modern is not necessarily better-- cherry pick from the past, he suggested. For instance, wood can be a more appealing material to build a home with than concrete or steel, Channon remarked, adding that his "eco-homestead of the future" houses 12 other people, as extended families can create a more robust experience.
One of the biggest and most important shifts is for people to see the Earth as paradise, and for humanity to recognize its global unity, he said. A number of breakthroughs could be accomplished by reassigning the military to handle various tasks, including reforestation, cleaning the water sheds, recycling the flotsam in the sea, protecting the coral reefs and inland water ways, as well as monitoring pollution from space-based platforms, he continued. "We're not saving the Earth-- we're saving the biosphere," Channon explained.
Other breakthroughs he presented included the government decentralizing into bioregions, web-based democracies, as well as recognizing there is life beyond our solar system and building a starport to prepare for them. "We want to go past success to significance," Channon commented. He also touched on his background in remote viewing while in the US Army, and noted that he'll be a speaker at the upcoming Remote Viewing Conference in Las Vegas.
Underground Shelters
First hour guest, entrepreneur Robert Vicino talked about the Vivos Project, a network of nuclear blast-proof underground shelters. Their plan is to build 20 such shelters, that will accommodate 4,000 people, who pay $50,000 ($25,000 for children) each to buy in. The secret, high altitude, locations for the shelters will be around 150 miles from each metro area, and stocked with one year of food and supplies, he said.

At Stonehouse Park Infant school in Reception we want the best start for your child.
We want children's learning to be happy, active, exciting, fun and based upon play based learning. Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through the seven areas of learning and development.
From birth until 5, children in the Foundation Stage follow the Early Years Foundation Stage.
These seven areas are used to plan your child's learning and activities and the teachers will make sure that the activities are suited to your child's unique needs and interests. Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.
We are very lucky at Stonehouse Park to have a fantastic outside area and range of outdoor spaces that the children can use throughout the school, with a wide variety of resources to enhance their learning.
If you wish to view more about our Early Years Foundation Stage please go to our Curriculum page.


This is another of my boss's books that she has given to me to read. I've only had this one sitting around my house for about two and a half years. Recently I gave her back a book she loaned me that she had completely forgotten about.
I've reviewed two of Sebastian Barry's other books here on PfP over the past couple of years, The Secret Scripture and The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty. These two both focused on different branches of the McNulty family of County Sligo, Ireland. This novel takes place in County Wicklow, Ireland, in the summer of 1959. Our eponymous protagonist, Annie Dunne, is a woman in her late fifties who has lately come to Wicklow to live on her cousin Sarah's farm. Both women are "spinsters," but have found what Annie describes as a contented partnership on the farm, working together to keep the place afloat. The summer we spend with Sarah and Annie also has a couple of other visitors: Annie's grand niece and nephew, whose names are never revealed, come to stay because their parents are moving to London and they want to get everything all set up before bringing the kids over. The interesting thing is that the childrens' father is Annie's nephew, who she helped to raise after his mother (Annie's sister) had some sort of nervous breakdown when her kids were young.
The tone of this novel is, for lack of a better description, peaceful and nostalgic with a hint of ominous foreboding. The twentieth century is encroaching on the largely rural County Wicklow, and Annie and Sarah are about to become obsolete. I really enjoyed this book, as I've enjoyed all of Sebastian Barry's books that I've read. Not a lot happens in this one; it's just the story of all the little events, both large and small, that make up this summer in Annie Dunne's life. I don't know that plot summary of a book like this is really very useful, because it's more a character study than a plot-driven narrative. It really is lovely, though, and the next time Bethany and I decide that we want to pick out books for each other to read, I think I'm going to have her read this one. By the way, we did choose some books for each other. We'll read them and post about them one of these days.


We need to see, hear, and experience more art of this caliber. Every single day. Check out these fresh visuals illustrating singer and guitarist Mélissa Laveaux's latest tune.
Mélissa Laveaux • Postman from Terence Nance • Terence Etc. on Vimeo.
This song was released in 1996, and it still bangs 17(!) years later.
Back in October, I had the honor of traveling to eight cities in nine days documenting The Revival 2012 poetry tour along with Sekiya Dorsett of Making Chaos. It was an overwhelming and life-altering journey.
Driving and filming non-stop, cross-country, in a small van with six other women was both exhausting and exhilarating. I learned sooooo much on the fly, was introduced so many new people, and walked away from the experience with a stronger sense of self. The Revival inspired and challenged me every. single. day. We're now knee-deep in the post-production phase of the film, prepping for the edit, and planning for the release. There's still a long road ahead, but be sure to keep up with the project by clicking here.
One of the artists whose work I truly admired, was my travel mate and a star in the documentary, Be Steadwell a.k.a. B. Steady, a singer, songwriter, and filmmaker from D.C. B was extremely shy in front of the camera when the tour kicked off, but slowly blossomed and held her own as an amazing woman with a distinct voice and point of view. It was a pleasure to witness and capture her transformation on film. By the end of the tour, I had all of her songs memorized, and didn't mind having each of them stuck in my head long after we'd said goodbye.
I saw this short profile/interview video that she created about her sound and her purpose. Simply put, B. Steady is a glowing talent who makes honest music that you'll easily fall in love with.
This month, I would like to curtsy and high-five some of the artists who have inspired me, and women like me, with their commitment to honesty and self-expression.
J. California Cooper. Author, Playwright, and One of the Slickest Word Magicians of All Time.
Thank you for your voice. Your language feels and sounds like home. Your words are electric with a dash of humor. You've mastered how to bend, stretch, and shape your characters into personalities that feel all too real. Reading your short stories taught me how to dream up a character, jump into their skin, and narrate a story around them that reads almost like a conversation. This story from the 30-day Writing Challenge that I completed with my brother was inspired, in part, by you. You are truly a storyteller.
On Saturday, I grabbed my camera and hit up the Project Runway Designer Reunion Party for Fashion Week thanks to the super talented filmmaker, editor, and my personal video guru, Sekiya Dorsett of Making Chaos. The goal was to help Sekiya shoot some sizzle reel footage for a former show contestant, and I. had. a. blast.
Sonjia was so sweet that, of course, I had to do some proper cyber-digging to find some pics.
How fly is she? All images of Sonjia were jacked from her blog, hauteandlow.blogspot.com. Check her out, follow her work, and keep your eye on this young designer.
Octavia E. Butler (1947-2006). Author and Otherworldly Genius.
Thank you for your immense imagination. Your words constructed alternate realities and reshaped our image of the past and of the future. Your stories, always led by powerful black women, put us at the forefront and gave us the freedom to decide our own destiny–in fantasy as well as in life. Your legacy continues.
Check out these new visuals from Concrete Orchid fave, Wishes and Thieves.
Singer Jolanda Porter's sultry voice buoyed by a sticky beat and guitar riff combine into a really sweet track. Their music is so cool!


It is now fall. Or it feels like it. It's getting cooler. I can't say I've necessarily seen any changing leaves, but it's going to happen any minute now. I feel content and excited. I'm enjoying the crispness of the air. Also, I've started drinking a lot of iced apple cider from Dunkin' Donuts. Iced apple cider in the fall, before it gets too cold, is a treat I want to snuggle up with while making whimpering noises.
Ah yes, but that's not it. Perhaps more than anything else, even more than apple cider, when the fall comes I think of pumpkin pie. The rich, nutty, fragrant, spicy, subtle, complex, love mushiness that is pumpkin pie.
"Ah, it's gray outside, there are colorful leaves on the streets, I just had a hard week at work and I feel that life is meaningless: time for pumpkin pie!"
Perhaps you eat it by itself. Perhaps you enjoy it with iced apple cider, or perhaps even tea or coffee. Perhaps you eat it after a chicken pot pie or a pot roast. Perhaps you take a bath in it.

Enrique Rangel, industry expert and CEO at MyMedLeads.com, published an article entitled Six Steps You Can Take NOW to Start Getting More Patients from RealSelf. We're bringing it to you here because it's full of actionable insights to help you to maximize your return on investment with RealSelf — including the "12- minute rule" to help improve your lead-to-consult rate.
Whether you are a new practice or a well-established clinic, RealSelf is an incredible source for targeted lead generation. With millions of users per month, the community-driven site is saturated with high-quality leads who are looking for practices like yours, and many of these individuals will become lifelong patients for you. However, if you're not properly managing these leads, you can blow through thousands of dollars per month without REALLY taking advantage of the power of RealSelf.
As the CEO of MyMedLeads, I get asked a lot about conversion and what strategies work best. Today, we are going to discuss 6 things that you must be doing in order to maximize your return on investment with RealSelf.
The 12 minute rule – Calling leads in the first 12 minutes increases your lead-to-contact rate, resulting in a higher lead-to-consult rate, which, naturally leads to a higher lead-to-surgery rate. The golden rule of lead management is to call leads as quickly as you can. Luckily, systems such as MyMedLeads can email, text, and notify you and your practice in various ways. We will even show you weekly what your conversion rate is. Conversely, waiting 5 hours to call someone back will drastically drop the chances of contact. Visitors on RealSelf will research other options and move on if your staff takes too long to respond.
Calling the lead back more than once – When you manage your leads via Outlook or other email clients, it is easy to call them once. However, after a couple of weeks, when they're no longer top-of-mind, it's easy for your staff to forget to reach out a second or third time. Without a CRM system like MyMedLeads or Salesforce that keeps your leads organized in one place, remembering this critical step becomes much more difficult, resulting in a lower conversion rate on your RealSelf leads.
Procedure-specific drip campaigns – In a perfect world, every lead would answer when your staff calls them and they would immediately schedule their consultation. But in reality, many patients are not ready to come in. They want information first. So, when you get their inquiry, you can either wait until they do their research on their own (possibly on a competitor's website) or, you can feed them personalized information about the procedure they inquired about in bite size pieces. MyMedLeads can automate the process of sending a series of sequential emails over the course of several weeks, keeping you in front of potential patients in research mode, while establishing you as a knowledgeable expert. When the prospect is finally ready to schedule, they will be much more likely to think of your practice.
Tracking – 80% of practices fail at tracking lead sources. Asking patients "How did you hear about us" doesn't work. Without a system such as Call Rail or MyMedLeads, it is impossible to track true lead sources. Many patients visit RealSelf for research, but then click over to your site and then either call or submit a web inquiry. MyMedLeads can track both calls and form inquiries and still give credit to RealSelf's efforts using our dynamic phone number and referring source technology.
Understand the difference between exposers and closers– A lead source is an exposer if they expose the patient to your practice. A closer is a lead source that serves as the last interaction before they do business with you. A patient can be exposed to your practice 2 to 3 times before they contact you, and another 3 times before they commit to a procedure. Our data shows how powerful RealSelf is as an exposer, as this is frequently where patients start the buying process. In other words, without RealSelf, many patients would never have stumbled across you to begin with, and you would not be on their radar at all. It's important that you have a way to track both exposers and closers in your funnel.
Engagement – Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of 2-way content on RealSelf. Answering questions on RealSelf will help you gain trust, and once the patient makes it to your practice, asking them to review you on RealSelf as well as other review sites will help other prospects inquire about your services. With our integration into your scheduling software, we can automate the process of requesting reviews from patients that have undergone a procedure or treatment with you.
Highly focused niche sites like RealSelf put you in front of a richly defined target audience and set you up to "make the sale". At the end of the day though, once the lead is delivered, it's up to you and your staff to make sure that lead gets properly managed to maximize the likelihood that they actually walk through your door.
When you're a busy medical practice, staying on top of these critical aspects of lead management can sometimes feel overwhelming, and often get neglected. MyMedLeads helps you and your staff stay focused on growth by linking all of your sales, marketing and other service information into one integrated solution, eliminating fragmented data and providing you a clear (and automated) path to converting your leads into paying patients.

Anyone can undoubtedly have dreams. Whether you consider obtaining the best house with the perfect car, or you consider settling down in order to obtain a family, even if you consider retiring at the time you're 40, the one key in order to succeed is finding a solution for it. It really can sound evident nevertheless if you dream of retiring just before you get to 40 but you aimlessly skip from job to job without aspiration of going forward to an occupation or career, it really is less likely you may achieve your goals.
Sometimes this can be difficult in order to get the motivation you require in order to succeed at your goals nevertheless, you can use your dreams themselves as the motivation you require. Keep a piece of paper on you and if you are beginning to feel down or skeptical about your aspirations then look at your piece of paper and remember why you are pushing yourself, remember what the purpose of your goal is.
Structuring your life in this way, might seem like it really loses its spontaneity yet that doesn't have to be the case. Find an occupation you like, set up a business, and get some fun doing it, yet always remember that if a good opportunity arises you should really take action on it. Not doing so is worse, and not having tried something without knowing whether it really would have been successful will always be something you will regret some day, even if you fail, it is better than never trying anything.
Presuming you have set reasonable end goals you should always be able to envision a way in order to fulfill them. Keep in mind that if you set goals that are too unrealistic, you will find this incredibly difficult if not completely impossible to meet your objectives.
Your goals should get bigger and better as your mindset gets better too, meaning if you can reasonably conceive you can achieve it, you will.

The Taliban promulgate the announcement of the ceasefire on Saturday in Afghanistan during the 3-days of Eid-ul-Fitr when the Afghan forces will take the back seat.
In a statement issued to EFE news by Taliban, they have instructed all the Mujahidin to stop all their offensive operations against the domestic opposition forces throughout the country during the first, second and third days of the Eid.
However, the Taliban said it will respond to any aggression during the period of the ceasefire. It also said the foreign forces are exempted from the ceasefire, emphasising that the group will maintain attacks on foreign troops across the country.


Of life's sweet rest and mystery.
The turmoil of the crowded way.
And visions, only seen in dreams.
And draw me back to earthly things.
It bids me "Think on One and fight."
I rise and leave my tent alone.
It is the life of every day from which elements of a better life must come. There is not a thought or feeling, not an act of beauty or utility, whereof man is capable, but will find complete expression in the simplest, most ordinary life.
Our work, to be alive with beauty and with power, must have an Ideal element. It must be seen, in large relations, human and divine.
Be broad and liberal, be free, be earnest, and the peace and harmony which you are beginning to establish within your own bosom, will vibrate outward, and its influence will be felt by those around you, and the responsive influence which you will receive will be of inestimable value to you, not only mentally and morally, but physically.


US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will meet for a second much-anticipated summit in Hanoi, as preparations kick into high gear for the peace talks.
Trump announced the exact location on Twitter - only the country, Vietnam, was previously known - for the follow-on to the leaders' summit in Singapore last year as he hailed "very productive" preparatory talks between diplomats from the two countries.
"My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un," Mr Trump said.
The US State Department said the special US envoy for North Korea Stephen Biegun will meet again with Pyongyang officials ahead of the Trump-Kim talks - hours after he returned to Seoul from talks in the North on the summit's agenda.
In a statement, the State Department said talks during Stephen Biegun's three-day trip explored Mr Trump and Kim's "commitments of complete denuclearisation, transforming US-DPRK relations and building a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula."
The State Department confirmed Mr Biegun agreed to meet his North Korean counterpart Kim Hyok Chol again before the leaders' talks.
Mr Biegun is expected to share details of his Pyongyang meetings with his South Korean counterpart Lee Do-hoon and Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha on Saturday.
Discussions on declaring an end to the 1950-53 Korean War could also have been on the table, with Mr Biegun last week saying Trump was "ready to end this war."
