We have all messed up a meal a time or two in our lives. This includes the professionals. I am a Home Cook which although I haven't graduated from Culinary school, Home Cooks are now being recognized as professionals. They are being granted television shows and competing with the best of them out there. Your grandmother might not have had a television show but she was probably the best cook that you know. However, even grandma has screwed up a dinner or two. What she didn't tell you, was how to save that meal. You can save it? Yes you most certainly can. There are ways in which you can turn around the mess you made in the kitchen so that your dinner still goes as planned. Let's start saving the day shall we?
First things first, you must follow the recipe. I know you might have seen someone else put a little sprinkle of this or a splash of that in the soup but if it is not listed in the ingredients section, do not add it. This can cost you time and taste. Simply follow the instructions provided. This will guarantee you an outstanding meal.
Have you ever had a meal that was way too salty? My eyes begin to squint just thinking about it. All is not lost if you have over salted your dish. There are a few ways in which you can fix it. If it has a soupy or saucy texture then you are most certainly in luck. You can fix the pot of cabbage, collard greens, chili, and more. One method that I have always used is the potato method. Peel and quarter a potato and drop it right into your pot. Let it simmer with your food for about 15 minutes. It can sit in there longer if needed. What you don't want to happen, is you don't want to potato to disentegrate in your food. You simply want the potato to absorb the excess salt in your dish and then remove the potato before serving.
If you have made a dish too salty, spicy, or added too much of a seasoning try using broth or water. If you want to retain the flavor but breakup the seasoning then broth is your friend. Vegetable broths and chicken broths are miracle workers in the kitchen. Be sure to purchase the broths that say low sodium or better yet no sodium so that you can salvage your meal. Add the broth let it simmer for a few minutes and then taste it to see if there is any difference.
Now what if you've burned the meat. Here's something you can do with the meat. You can cut off the burned pieces and chop it up to make something like chicken salad. You can also add it to chili or use it as a salad or potato topper. Make sure that it is chopped up really fine so that no one knows that it was scorched to smithereens. You can also chop it in a food processor. However, if it is too tough to comfortably chew then it might just have to be tossed but it should work.
Allow sugar or honey to be your friend if your dish is too spicy. This can help to balance out the taste of the food and it better. If you don't want to use sugar due to health concerns then you can use honey or even agave nectar which can be found at your local grocer.
Now let's talk about cooking that meat on the stove. Sometimes it might come out overcooked or mushy. This might be due to overcrowding the pan. Your food needs room to cook. If you have a lot of meat to cook I suggest using two skillets. This will help save you time and it will ensure that your food comes out better.
What if your sauce has curdled? This can be a real pain in the kitchen. If your sauce has curdled it is best to strain it through a seive or muslin. If you don't know what those two things are then I can guarantee you that you might be making many mistakes in the kitchen if you've ever tried to make a sauce or gravy. Right now would be an excellent time to google seive and muslin and purchase them right away.
Sometimes a meal can contain way too much garlic. We mean well but if the only thing you can taste in a meal is garlic, then its not a great meal. If you have found yourself in this pickle then parsley flakes are your friend. Take the parsley flakes and add them to a tea infuser and drop the tea infuser directly into your food. The parsley will absorb the flavor of the garlic salvaging the taste of your meal.
Many of us go wrong in the kitchen because we are using the same seasonings over and over again. There is so much more to the kitchen life besides Old Bay, lemon pepper, and seasoned salt. Next time you are in the grocery store try picking up something new like curry, onion powder, white pepper, and more. Fresh herbs are also wonderful to cook with you can start using herbs like cilantro, oregano, parsley, and more in your meals. It's important to add flavor to meals. You get flavor by using things that do not contain salt so try something new. Here is a good pairing table in which you can use when cooking. You don't want to use all of these things together, just try to add them over time as you follow your normal cooking recipes.
Allspice, anise, bay leaf, cayenne, curry, dill, ginger, marjoram, mustard, nutmeg, paprika, parsley, pepper, sage, savory, tarragon, thyme.
Fish Allspice, anise, basil, bay leaf, cayenne, chives, curry, dill, fennel, ginger, marjoram, nutmeg, oregano, paprika, parsley, tarragon, thyme.
Fruit Allspice, anise, cinnamon, cloves, curry, ginger, mace, mint, nutmeg, pepper.
Vegetables Green Beans — Dill, marjoram, nutmeg, oregano.Beets — Allspice, nutmeg.Broccoli — Mustard, nutmeg, sage.Carrots — Dill, nutmeg, parsley, rosemary, thyme.
Cucumbers — Basil, dill, parsley.
Potatoes –Chives, cumin, dill, fennel, garlic, mace, rosemary, tarragon.
Squash — Cardamom, ginger, nutmeg.
Tomato — Allspice, basil, cloves, cumin, fennel, marjoram, oregano.


So I added a bit of gold glitter!
To get the same effect, paint your nails with two coats of a pastel mint shade (I used Pink Ice's "Home Run"). With a gold glitter polish, angle the brush starting at the center of the nail, and make short diagonal strokes, filling in the corners as you go. I used two coats of gold glitter to make it extra sparkly (Pop Beauty's "Gold Glitz").

Meyer London: A Biography of the Socialist New York Congressman, 1871-1926 (Paperback)
Gordon J. Goldberg (author)
Meyer London (1871-1926), a Russian Jewish immigrant, settled in New York's Lower East Side in 1891. He became a lawyer, labor activist, founding member of the Socialist Party of America, and a three term Congressman, advocating peaceful and gradual methods and refusing to take rigid doctrinal positions. Elected to Congress in 1914 as the lone Socialist he demonstrated political skill and courage. London urged unemployment, health and old age insurance, and fought attempts to restrict immigration. At the outbreak of World War I, he urged strict neutrality, voting against declarations of war on Germany and Austria-Hungary (but once the U.S. intervened, London supported the war). In 1918, a fusion candidate defeated London, questioning his ""Americanism."" He returned to Congress in 1920, where in the face of the pro-business Harding Administration he continued to fight for economic and social justice. Defeated in 1922, London resumed his law practice, and once again became involved in union affairs. His untimely death in 1926 caused shock waves among his fellow Lower East Siders for whom the beloved London had become a folk hero.

Post on April 30, 2018 from our
Watch Farrah Share How Rare Immune Deficiency Affected Her Life
Farrah Mackenzie turns 13 this coming October, but she has another birthday to celebrate much sooner. On June 30, 2018, the new immune system swirling around her body turns 1!
That new immune system, provided through a bone-marrow transplant from a healthy donor, has given Farrah a new life that provides her a great chance at being healthy as a teenager and throughout her life.
Diagnosed with Primary Immune Deficiency Disorder about five years ago, she's actually been sick since age two with a condition that causes her body to fight itself. Her previous immune system attacked her own organs — mainly her lungs — giving her lifelong breathing problems and stunting her growth.
Until now. Although Farrah is still small for her age, today she's bigger and healthier than ever.
Farrah tells her story at The Inn's annual Evening for Hope Gala:
"Finally I'm getting some new clothes and shoes!" she jokes. And now she rarely gets sick, she says, which is a dramatic change from too many years of colds that became sinus infections that became pneumonia.
Beyond getting new clothes, though, Farrah is excited to get on with her life, which is amazingly full. An actress since childhood, she's been on television and in movies, but she also has many other hobbies. She likes to draw anime, ski and snowboard, is learning guitar, joined a rock-climbing team, and does Parkour and Ninja Warrior stuff.
Her dad, actor Andy Mackenzie, "is in denial" (according to Farrah) that his daughter is becoming a teenager, but he could not be more grateful for this moment in their lives.
Farrah and Andy Mackenzie
"Speaking as a dad, Farrah and I owe everything to NIH and The Inn. All the warm and caring Inn staff and the amazing medical team — in particular immunologist Dr. Gulbu Uzel and bone-marrow transplant specialists Dr. Jennifer Kanakry and Dr. Dimana Dimitrova," he said. "All these people fell in love with my little girl. They're not afraid to answer our questions, to tell us 'how it really is,' and to just be kind."
Like that of many young patients who stay at The Children's Inn, Farrah's medical story is a long and complicated one. Before getting a diagnosis through NIH, she endured years of monthly immunoglobulin replacement therapy: intravenous injections designed to temporarily boost her immune system's ability to make antibodies. But the treatments never really worked long-term.
In 2014, she first enrolled in an NIH clinical study to try to identify the gene that might be responsible for her immune problems. But her NIH medical team realized that it would take longer than expected, and the damage to her lungs had to be stopped right away (although the gene search is ongoing).
Dr. Kanakry noted that Farrah received bone marrow from an unrelated donor through the National Marrow Donor Program "Be The Match." Without it, Farrah had no other donor options, so she was incredibly lucky.
The first step was getting chemotherapy to prepare Farrah's body for a new set of immune cells.
Farrah lost her hair due to chemo
"I lost my hair," says Farrah, adding that both her parents let her shave their hair in solidarity. And then, she got a special surprise.
"When I started the chemo, it wasn't so bad, because the head of NIH Dr. Francis Collins 'kidnapped' us to a U2 concert!"
Farrah and her family cannot imagine what life would be like without The Inn.
"Spending all day getting my blood drawn, getting MRI scans, getting every possible test is tough," says Farrah.
"But because of The Inn, I can just walk across the street, play at the gigantic playground, and then get a fabulous home-cooked meal. I can just be myself."
As a performer who loves to be around people, Farrah loves The Inn's multipurpose room the best. That's where with friends she puts on plays and musicals — like Matilda and Space Unicorns — talent shows, and just goofs around.
"We totally forget that we're even near a hospital, it just feels like fun!" she says.

T1 Gadolinium Enhancement of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Plaques Associated with Symptomatic Ischemic Presentations
P. Vakil, J. Vranic, M.C. Hurley, R.A. Bernstein, A.W. Korutz, A. Habib, A. Shaibani, F.H. Dehkordi, T.J. Carroll and S.A. Ansari
The degree of contrast enhancement was assessed in 22 high-grade intracranial stenoses that were either symptomatic or asymptomatic. Seventy percent of symptomatic plaques showed contrast enhancement whereas this was seen in only 8% of those that were asymptomatic. This study suggests that intracranial stenoses can be evaluated with conventional MRI protocols and that there is a strong association between plaque contrast enhancement and ischemic symptoms.

Enel wins 59.2 MW in Terna's "Fast Reserve" auction in Italy
Rome, December 18th, 2020 - The Enel Group has been awarded 59.2 MW of capacity contracts in the tender for Italian Transmission System Operator Terna's ultra-rapid frequency regulation service, also known as "Fast Reserve". Specifically, the awards relate to Italy's central-northern mainland (40 MW) and central-southern mainland (19.2 MW).
"With this award, Enel strengthens its leadership in the development of electrochemical storage systems in Italy by supplying new services which are necessary to guarantee grid stability," said Carlo Tamburi, Head of Enel Italy. "The development and use of storage technologies favor the decarbonization process and the participation of renewables in the generation mix, helping to achieve the objectives set out in Italy's Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, alongside accelerating the energy transition."
The awarded capacity will be supplied by the so-called Fast Reserve Units (FRUs) which include the possibility of combining an electrochemical storage system with electric vehicle charging infrastructures and Vehicle-to-Grid solutions. Starting in January 2023 and through December 2027, these units will provide ultra-fast response service in less than one second. The service must be available for 1,000 hours per year, in specific time slots defined by Terna.
The awarded FRUs are: Porto Tolle, 20 MW (in an area not included in the site's current repurposing project), Alessandria, 20 MW, Torrevaldaliga Nord 2, 9.6 MW and Torrevaldaliga Nord 3, 9.6 MW.
The Fast Reserve will help improve the stability of grid frequency, in coordination with other existing services. Within the pilot projects promoted by Terna, this tender helped to facilitate the introduction of new technologies in the electricity system and, in particular, electrochemical storage units, which are key in supporting the energy transition as envisaged by Italy's Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan.
In a highly competitive tender scenario, Enel confirms its leadership in Terna's pilot projects, having won the highest share of capacity assigned in this tender: around 24% of the total.

OSHA's Crane Rule Resource Center|
State & City Licensing Requirements|
Crane Safety Studies|
CCO Operator Profiles - Duane Schmader
Duane Schmader has been operating carrydeck and rough terrain cranes for more than 30 years, and he has been CCO certified to operate mobile cranes since 1997.
Starting out as a carpenter working for United Refining Company, an oil refinery in northwest Pennsylvania, Duane got into rigging, and in 1978 he started operating the refinery's rough terrain cranes. "Back then we learned mostly by the seat of our pants," he says. "When your outriggers started to pull up, you knew you had to back off."
He'd had some classroom training and had earned his heavy equipment operator license in the '80s. But when CCO certification became available, the refinery encouraged their operators to get certified, even paying for their training and tests through IUOE Locals 95 and 66. "Obtaining my CCO crane operator certification made me learn about aspects of the job that I didn't know before, such as the OSHA, ANSI, and other applicable standards, which in turn helped me operate in a safer manner," Duane says. With more knowledge, he and his fellow operators began operating more safely and taking fewer risks. "And once management saw the accident rate drop, they realized that crane operator certification makes good business sense."
Duane sees NCCCO's recently announced new national Crane Inspector certification program as filling a real need not least because it will require crane inspections to be more consistent. The issue is particularly apparent when the refinery shuts down to perform maintenance and brings in extra rented cranes to get the work done faster. "More uniform requirements for crane inspections should definitely make the cranes themselves safer," Duane says.
Similarly, Duane sees NCCCO's Rigger and Signalperson certifications as valuable. "It would be very helpful for everyone to have a consistent education and to know exactly what their responsibilities are," he says. Duane recommends CCO certification to co-workers and supervisors because, as he has experienced, "if workers know you are certified, they generally feel better about working with you."
The refinery has recently begun CCO testing on site, and Duane has helped prepare the practical test courses. Duane feels so strongly about the benefits of CCO certification that he would like to increase his involvement with NCCCO programs. He has provided some rigging training at the refinery in the past, and he is considering becoming an NCCCO Practical Examiner.
When he's not working, Duane enjoys taking rides on his Harley and doing landscaping work around the house with his wife.


Even the most sophisticated missile defense interceptors cannot complete their mission effectively without the ability to see their target. While sensors and command and control often get short shrift in discussions of missile defense in favor of interceptor improvements, upgrading the sensor architecture offers another effective means to improve the overall function of the BMDS. Particular attention to the issue of midcourse discrimination will be essential to enhance the capabilities of currently fielded GMD interceptors, whether those sensors are deployed in space, in the air, on the ground, or at sea.

iOS Phone Cases
The Most Effective Phone for Kids
I've tried to include a range of phones as a parent, from low-cost to new ones. Whatever you select, make sure it's secure.
The Best Smartwatch for Kids Under 8 Years Old
Small children who require phones frequently need them as a result of complex caregiving arrangements in which they are passed between adults. A phone or tracker may also be beneficial if your kid likes to run and hide and gets lost on the playground. The GizmoWatch 2 from Verizon is a stylish, portable tracker and communication device.
The Verizon GizmoWatch 2 lets a youngster keep in touch with and trackable by up to 10 trusted contacts for communicating with parents. The Republic Wireless Relay is a screenless phone that's ideal for connecting an individual parent and child, or children with small groups of closest friends or group activities.
Teens and tweens may need cell phones to transport about the city—and text their pals—as they get their first bits of independence. Yet tweens are still children, and it's easy for them to make costly mistakes.
This is an excellent time to get your child a voice phone. Carriers are shutting down 2G and 3G networks, so you'll need a smartphone that operates on your carrier's 4G LTE network for the best coverage and voice quality. As I previously said, the $49.99 Nokia 225 4G is a wonderful first voice phone because it works best on T-Mobile-based networks. The $195 Sunbeam F1, which works best on Verizon-based networks, offers three distinct degrees of feature lockdown and is better constructed.
If you want to get started saving money on your monthly phone bill, this is a good place to start. The $159 Moto G Pure and the Samsung Galaxy A32 are both excellent choices for this bundle. The A32 has a list price of $279.99, which is far too high, but you may reduce that with trade-ins, new lines, or other discounts.
If you're an iOS family, get an iPhone that is compatible with iOS 15. The iPhone SE is a good starting point at $399. For around $200, you can purchase a used iPhone 8. As I previously stated, we do not recommend any previous model. The Google Pixel 5a's camera is good, but not exceptional.
Ages 14 to 17
Teens' mobile needs are increasingly similar to those of grownups', although, of course, they are still frequently irresponsible. Make sure to enable location tracking for your teen's phone as soon as they set it up, whether it's in your Google account, Samsung account, or iCloud account. That will come in handy if your kid's phone is misplaced at a party or school function and they become frantic.
Teens will want better cameras and more gaming opportunities than younger children. The Pixel 5a is currently the most affordable Android phone with a flagship-level camera on the market, according to Google's website. My daughter loves her Galaxy Note 8, which features a built-in stylus that can be used with art programs and allows for creative expression among my daughters.
If you want an iPhone, the iPhone SE or the iPhone 13 mini are your best bets for a reasonable price and water resistance.

Vacations are a great way to reconnect with family and friends, they are a time to relax and unwind. Here are a few tips to help ensure your time away is enjoyable without incident.
Don't carry large amounts of cash. Use traveler's checks as they can usually be replaced within 24 hours. Only carry credit cards that you will need on vacation.
Make sure to call your bank before you leave to let them know you will be out of town. This will prevent disruption in your card services.
Make copies of all your important paperwork - leave a copy at home and with a friend or family member. This way if you are in need of a copy while on vacation you have someone that can get it to you.
Cell Phone Company - make sure to contact your cell phone provider to let them know you will be traveling and find out what additional charges may apply. If you are traveling globally they typically have a Global Package you can use during your travels.
Mail Service - if you are gone for more than a few days you might want to think about having your mail stopped. If you have a neighbor retrieving mail and newspapers while you are away, ensure that they will be there every day. Nothing says an empty house like a stack of mail or newspapers at the front door.
Avoid sharing too much information on social media. If you post too much real time, you are advertising you are gone from your home.
Turn off appliances at home before you leave. If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time you might want to consider turning off the water as well.
Traveling like a local and knowing your routes helps you not stand out like a tourist and potential target you for theft.
Consider Travel Insurance to protect your trip, luggage, health and more.
Being an independent insurance agency we have...options. If one option doesn't work, we have many more to take a look at.

Amy Belding Brown's novel Flight of the Sparrows is a compelling tale that is based on the true story of an early English Puritan who lived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The year is 1676 and Mary Rowlandson is the wife of a Puritan preacher. Even though she's a loving mother to her three children, Rowlandson often feels stifled by the tyrannical social mores of her village. However, her life is turned upside down when a group of Native Americans attack the town of Lancaster. Rowlandson and her three children are taken captive by a local tribe. With one child wounded and the other two taken to a neighboring tribe as captives, Rowlandson believes that all hope is lost.
Slowly but surely, a man named James Printer who speaks English helps her assimilate into the tribe and the two become close friends. Rowlandson even winds up changing her mind about the Native Americans and praises their way of life, which causes her to feel like an outcast when she eventually returns to her husband. Brown also makes sure to point out how much the Native Americans suffered at the hands of the English and how the colonists' actions still have repercussions that are going on even today.
As a whole, Flight of the Sparrows is a fascinating historical novel that builds sympathy for the Native Americans and the horrors they suffered at the hands of the English colonists.

Q: Specific applicationIdSuffix prevents app from starting In this specific case the applicationIdSuffix .accept suddenly prevents this app from starting. onCreate of the extended Application class does not get called. There's also no errors in logcat. The app starts and the screen remains white.
Another applicationIdSuffix like .local works and also reverting the code to a state where I'm sure the accept suffix worked, suddenly doesn't work anymore (and so does other devices or different Android versions). Building on another machine makes no difference. I really narrowed it down to just the specific suffix .accept not working. It seems like there suddenly is a conflict with this suffix.
Has anyone ecountered this before and know what could be the reason? The solution is to simply change the suffix for now, but I'm just baffled as to why this doesn't work all of the sudden.

A: I had the exact same problem in one project I was working.
Turns out the problem was in the Firebase google-services.json and not in the applicationIdSuffix. The package/bundle specified at the bundle simply stopped working, retroactively at it.
The solution was using another suffix, registering it on Firebase, and downloading the new google-services.json.

Mahwah, New Jersey (July 18, 2013) — Marantz, a world leader in advanced home entertainment solutions, announces the launch of the latest models in its acclaimed line of M-CR Series Network Stereo Receivers: the M-CR510 and M-CR610. The new wireless music systems deliver exceptional sound quality from a variety of music sources. Both feature a compact, elegant design that enables users to wirelessly access music from home networks, cloud streaming services and mobile devices.
"The incredible sound and beautiful design that users get from these systems, while being able to access all their favorite content sets them apart in the marketplace. The M-CR wireless music systems are an easy answer for those looking to simplify their listening experience without compromising on sound quality or looks." said Paul Belanger, technical product manager, D+M Group.
Windows 8/RT compatible and DLNA 1.5 certification.
Full support of most digital audio files: MP3, WMA, AAC, 192/24 FLAC, ALAC and WAV.
Also with the M-CR610 users gain a CD player, AM/FM tuner and four channels of amplification instead of two available in the M-CR510.
The Marantz M-CR610 is a network CD receiver with AM/FM radio that lets you enjoy not only music from CDs and your smartphone or tablet device but also Internet radio stations from around the world and streamed high-resolution music, all in exquisite sound quality. This receiver can be connected to a network either wirelessly via Wi-Fi or wired via an Ethernet cable, and it includes a Wi-Fi diversity antenna system and Wi-Fi Multi Media certification for improved communication quality. The M-CR610 also features AirPlay, allowing users to stream their iTunes music whether from Mac or PC, as well as music stored on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.* If you choose to cable connect your iPhone or iPod touch to one of the USB ports on the front or rear of the M-CR610, you can listen to music while the device's battery is being recharged.
The M-CR610 is equipped with a 4-channel digital amplifier that delivers 60 watts of power per channel in stereo. Compatible with bi-amp capable speakers, the separate amps for the high and low ranges in each stereo channel provide improved sound quality, and the M-CR610 also supports simultaneous drive for two separate pairs of speakers if desired (at 30 watts per channel). You can use the supplied remote controller to operate the M-CR610, or you can download the Marantz Remote App and operate it from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
The M-CR610 has been designed to enhance your listening space with Marantz tradition and distinction, and it is equipped with a luxurious black front-panel design that features a wide-angle, easy-to-read organic light-emitting diode (OLED) multi-line display.
The Marantz M-CR510 is a network receiver in a slender, compact design that lets you tune in to Internet radio from around the world as well as Spotify, Pandora, and other music-streaming services in a clean, robust sound. This receiver also features AirPlay, allowing users to stream their iTunes music whether from Mac or PC, as well as music stored on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.* Connection to the network can be achieved wirelessly or via a wired local-area network (LAN), using an Ethernet cable.
Because the M-CR510 also supports high-resolution music streaming in 192kHz/24-bit WAV/FLAC format, you can listen to high-quality sound that surpasses the quality of CD. With the receiver's optical digital input jack, you can even enjoy high-quality sound from your TV or other digital audio sources. You can use the supplied remote controller to operate the M-CR510, or you can download the Marantz Remote App and operate it from your mobile device.
The M-CR510 with its slim body and lustrous deep-black cosmetics has been designed to grace your listening space with Marantz tradition and sophistication.
The M-CR510 and M-CR610 stereo receivers have suggested retail prices of $599 and $699 respectively. The new products are available as of July 2013 in store and online at Marantz dealers.

Anyone with a passing familiarity of NCAN's work knows that FAFSA is a major focus. From the #FormYourFuture campaign to the FAFSA Tracker, NCAN keeps up a drumbeat around getting more students to complete the form that can unlock financial aid. Now, another National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) survey provides evidence of the connection between FAFSA completion and postsecondary enrollment. Notably: Students from the lowest socioeconomic quintile who completed a FAFSA were 127% more likely to be enrolled in the fall following high school graduation than their counterparts without a FAFSA completion.
Data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:2009) show a strong association between FAFSA completion and postsecondary enrollment in the fall following high school graduation. HSLS:2009 is a nationally representative longitudinal study of more than 23,000 students who started ninth grade in 2009. The students receive a first follow-up in 2012 and a second follow-up in 2016.
When the HSLS checked in with students as of November 2013 (the first fall following on-time high school graduation), they asked whether students had completed a FAFSA. Among students from the graduating class of 2013, 91.5% of students who completed a FAFSA had a postsecondary enrollment as of November 2013, compared to 49.7% of students without a FAFSA completion. This represents an 84% increase in the likelihood of enrollment associated with FAFSA completion.
Note the word "associated;" these analyses are descriptive and correlational, and readers cannot and should not assert causation with these results.
HSLS also allows for the breakdown of results by socioeconomic status (SES) quintiles (i.e., "fifths"). Here, the findings also suggest an association between FAFSA and postsecondary enrollment. Among high school graduates from the class of 2013, 37.4% of students from the lowest SES quintile who did not complete a FAFSA had a postsecondary enrollment in November 2013, compared to 83.8% of students from the highest quintile who did not complete a FAFSA. Contrast these figures with students who did complete the FAFSA: 85% of students from the lowest quintile who completed a FAFSA had a postsecondary enrollment in November 2013, compared to 97.8% of students from the highest quintile who completed a FAFSA. Full results appear in table 1.
The names of the variables used in this table are: S3APPFAFSA, S3CLGSECTOR and X2SESQ5.
The weight variable used in this table is W3STUDENT.
Source: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:2009).
In both cases, enrollment is higher with FAFSA completion. But important for NCAN members who often serve students from low-income families: The findings show that FAFSA completion associates with a narrowing of the postsecondary enrollment gap based on socioeconomic status by about 24 percentage points.
Of particular note, students from the lowest socioeconomic quintile who completed a FAFSA were 127% more likely to be enrolled in the fall following high school graduation than their counterparts without a FAFSA completion.
The HSLS data can also show the association of FAFSA completion with intensity of enrollment (full-time vs. part-time) for those who did enroll. Among students who enrolled by November 2013, 88.2% of students who completed a FAFSA enrolled full-time compared to 69.5% who did not complete a FAFSA. Among enrollers, FAFSA completers were 27% more likely to enroll full-time.
42.2% of students from the lowest quintile who did not complete a FAFSA enrolled full-time in November 2013, compared to 86.2% of students from the highest quintile who did not complete a FAFSA.
77% of students from the lowest quintile who completed a FAFSA enrolled full-time in November 2013, compared to 96.1% of students from the highest quintile who completed a FAFSA.
The above findings show that FAFSA completion narrowed the full-time postsecondary enrollment gap based on socioeconomic status by about 25 percentage points.
Full results appear in table 2.
! Interpret data with caution. Estimate is unstable because the standard error represents more than 30 percent of the estimate.
The names of the variables used in this table are: S3APPFAFSA, S3CLGFT and X2SESQ5.
HSLS also examines the institutional sectors in which students enrolled. FAFSA completion associates with a substantially increased likelihood of enrolling at a four-year public institution. Students in this quintile who completed a FAFSA were 4.3 times more likely to enroll at such an institution compared to students who did not complete a FAFSA (29% vs. 5%). FAFSA completion also associates with enrolling at community colleges versus not completing a FAFSA; completers were about 85% more likely to enroll at a community college than noncompleters (38% vs. 21%). In all cases, not completing a FAFSA was associated with a much higher likelihood of not enrolling anywhere by November 2013; 63% of FAFSA noncompleters in the lowest SES quintile did not enroll anywhere by November 2013, but just 15% of FAFSA completers did not enroll.
NCAN previously relied on data from another NCES survey for evidence of the association between FAFSA completion and postsecondary enrollment. The Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) is a nationally representative survey of 10th graders in 2002 and 12th graders in 2004. Data from this survey showed 90% of high school seniors who complete FAFSA attend college directly from high school, compared to just 55% of FAFSA noncompleters. The direction and magnitude of the differences in enrollment associated with FAFSA completion are in line with the HSLS findings reported above, but the HSLS findings also have the benefit of being more recent.
These findings point to a few things. First, they again illustrate the immense value of the NCES data collections. These surveys are a wealth of data and knowledge even if they can also be a little inscrutable and take some work to dig into. (Pro-tip: It always pays to read each variable's "Get More Info" tab.) Second, the #FormYourFuture campaign makes the case that more schools, communities, and stakeholders should be helping students complete the FAFSA and shows them how best to do that. Given FAFSA completion's association with postsecondary enrollment, especially for students from low-income families, the HSLS data offer suggestive evidence that supports NCAN's continued FAFSA focus.


How do I report a change of address on a partnership?
Include the new address when filing the SC1065. Check the "Address Change" box on the face of the tax return.
File an SC8822 Change of Address/Business Location. Save time and paper by completing this form on MyDORWAY, our free tax portal! Simply visit MyDORWAY.dor.sc.gov and sign into your existing account or create an account to get started. If submitting the SC8822 by paper, mail the completed from to the address stated on the form.
Send a letter on partnership letterhead and signed by a partner or member of the partnership. Mail to: SC Department of Revenue, Registration/Database Maintenance, PO Box 125, Columbia SC 29214-0400.
A composite return is a single return filed by a partnership, S-corporation, or Limited Liability Company (LLC) taxed as a partnership or S-corporation on behalf of two or more nonresident participants.
A composite return allows S-corporations or partnerships to compute and report the SC income and tax attributable to electing nonresident shareholders or partners on a single tax return (SC1040 Individual Income Tax Return). Participants are limited to individuals, trusts or estates who are partners of the partnership, shareholders of the S-corporation or members of an LLC taxed as an S-corporation or partnership.
The heading states the name, address, and FEIN of the partnership, S-corporation or LLC. Do not use "Composite Return for" or "Shareholders/Partners of" in the name. Mark the box for filing a composite return. Mark "Single" filing status. NOTE: Corporate partners and members may not participate in composite returns.
How do I complete a composite return?
A partnership, S-corporation, or LLC taxed as a partnership or S-corporation computes the tax separately on each participant's share of income. The methods available for computing the tax depend on whether the partner, shareholder, or member has filed an I-338 Composite Return Affidavit with the SCDOR through the partnership, S-Corporation, or LLC. An I-338 affidavit states that the partner, shareholder, or member has no other income taxable to South Carolina. The tax amounts computed for each participant in the composite return are added together to arrive at the total tax due.
See SC Code Section 12-6-5030, SC Revenue Procedure 17-2.
How do I request an extension of time to file a composite return?
In order to extend the time allowed for filing a composite return, file the SC4868.
Any tax estimated to be due must be paid with the timely filed extension. A composite return cannot be extended by filing the SC1120T or federal Form 7004. Likewise, the extension of the composite return does not extend the South Carolina S-corporation (SC1120S) or partnership (SC1065) tax return.
See SC Revenue Procedure 17-2.
File the SC8736 to request an extension of time to file the Partnership Tax return. The request for extension extends the filing due date for up to six months. An extension of time to file your Partnership Tax return does not extend the time to pay your nonresident Withholding Tax.
If filing by paper, mail the SC8736 to the SC Department of Revenue at the appropriate address as shown on the front of the form and pay the balance due. When filing your SC1065, check the extension box on the front of the return.
A newly formed partnership can register with the SCDOR using our secure tax portal, MyDORWAY. Select Register a New Business or Tax Account to get started. To submit your registration application by mail, use the SCDOR-111.
Filing a Partnership Tax return will automatically register you with the SCDOR. If this is your first return filed, check the box for "Initial Return" on the face of the SC1065.
You will receive a Partnership Registration letter (SC1067) listing your partnership file number along with other important information. Use your FEIN and partnership file number on all Partnership Tax returns, payment documents, and correspondence submitted to the SCDOR.
The Partnership Tax return is due by the 15th day of the third month following the close of the taxable year. Partnerships file the SC1065.
Should we notify the SCDOR of a change in partners?
Yes. Send a letter on company letterhead and signed by a partner to SCDOR, Registration/Database Maintenance, PO Box 125, Columbia SC 29214-0400.
NOTE: A change in ownership of greater than 50% requires all new registrations with the SCDOR. A change of 25% or more requires a new ABL (Alcoholic Beverage Licensing) account.
Which tax form does a Limited Liability Company (LLC) taxed as a partnership file?
Who must file a Partnership Tax return?
What information do I need to furnish to the partners?
Provide an SC1065 K-1 to each partner. Partnerships receiving passive activity income and losses from investments located within and outside of South Carolina must furnish partners with detailed accountings of these amounts.
Similar information must be furnished to partners who did not materially participate in the trade or business of a partnership engaged in multi-state operations. These partners may have nondeductible passive losses that cannot be used to offset interest and other business-related portfolio income apportioned to South Carolina.
What are the filing requirements of an individual who is a nonresident partner of a partnership?
A nonresident individual partner must file the SC1040 including a completed Schedule NR. The tax withheld by the partnership, reported on a 1099 "for SC purposes only", is claimed on the SC1040 as tax withheld. Include the 1099 when filing the SC1040.
See Code Section 12-8-590(C),(D); Section 12-8-1540(A).
Yes. Any partnership conducting business in South Carolina or having South Carolina income included on a federal Partnership Tax return should file the SC1065.
See Code Sections 12-6-4910(4), 12-6-600.
What methods can be used to file partnership returns?
Partnership returns can be filed electronically through Modernized Electronic Filing (MeF). Partnership returns can also be filed with a 2D barcode generated by tax preparation software. Paper returns without 2D barcodes are also accepted.
How do I report allocation and apportionment?
A "sales only" apportionment method for taxpayers whose principle business in South Carolina is dealing in tangible personal property.
This method is used by businesses that manufacture, sell, or rent tangible personal property. The SALES factor is all sales of goods, merchandise and property in South Carolina to anyone other than the US government, divided by total sales everywhere. The sale takes place where goods are received by the purchaser or his designee after all transportation is completed. Sales in South Carolina include all rentals not allocated from tangible personal property located in South Carolina and sales of intangible personal property and receipts from services of income-producing activities performed entirely within South Carolina. If the income-producing activity is performed partly within and partly outside of South Carolina, sales are attributable to South Carolina to the extent the income-producing activity is performed within South Carolina.
A "gross receipts" apportionment method for taxpayers not dealing in tangible personal property.
This method is used by financial businesses and service businesses, including businesses that install or repair tangible personal property, and contractors. This apportionment factor is SC gross receipts divided by gross receipts everywhere. See SC Code 12-6-2290 and 12-6-2295.
Use the appropriate apportionment method in place of sales only or gross receipts.
A taxpayer may apply pursuant to SC Code 12-6-2320 for an individualized apportionment method tailored to a particular business because the normally required method would not fairly represent the extent of the taxpayer's business in South Carolina, or as an economic incentive. See our publication South Carolina Tax Incentives for Economic Development for details.
Does South Carolina allow loss carrybacks or loss carryforwards on a Partnership Tax return?
No. There are no provisions for a loss carryback or a loss carryforward on a Partnership Tax return. All activity for the current year passes through to the partners' tax returns for that year.
How can I submit the K-1 information if the partnership has more than 50 partners?
If a partnership has more than 50 partners, we request that you submit the K-1 information on a CD in any file format that is compatible with Microsoft Word or Excel.
The CD should be labeled with the following information: partnership name, FEIN, SC partnership file number, and tax year.
Excel spreadsheets are also accepted. We will continue to accept paper K-1s but request the CD or spreadsheet method of reporting. Permission does not need to be obtained from this office to submit K-1s by these methods.
How do I report tax credits?
Enter non-refundable tax credits on SC1040TC and attach to the return. Attach specific tax credit schedules to your return. Furnish a statement to each partner indicating the amount of credit allocated to that partner.
How do I pay a balance due on my partnership return?
Pay online by credit card or electronic check using our free tax portal, MyDORWAY, at dor.sc.gov/pay. Select Business Income Tax Payment to get started.
If paying by check or money order, make check payable to the SC Department of Revenue, include name of partnership and FEIN on payment. Attach check or money order to the paper return.
If a single member LLC is disregarded for federal purposes, is it also disregarded for South Carolina purposes?
Can a refund be requested on an SC1065?
Claim a refund resulting from the Motor Fuel Income Tax Credit on Form SC1065. Claim a refund resulting from other sources on the partners' returns.
How do I request a copy of a Partnership Tax return previously filed with the SCDOR?
What form do I use to file an amended Partnership Tax return?
To amend a previously filed Partnership Tax return, complete a new form and check the amended box on the face of the return. An explanation of the adjustments and a copy of the federal 1065X must be attached to the amended return.
In general, partnerships, S-corporations, and LLCs taxed as partnerships or S-corporations must withhold 5% on the share of South Carolina taxable income of all nonresident partners, shareholders or members. Corporate partners and members are not exempt from these withholding requirements.
How does a partnership compute and pay withholding for nonresident partners?
Use Schedule W-H Withholding on Income of Nonresident Partners, located in the SC1065 Partnership Tax return, and send the amount withheld with the return when due. You must also send a list of the partners, their Social Security Numbers or FEINs (whichever is applicable), and the amount withheld on behalf of each. See Code Section 12-8-590, SC Revenue Procedure 17-2.
When are the partners, shareholders or members responsible for paying their own tax?
A partner, shareholder or member who completes the I-309 Nonresident Shareholder or Partner Affidavit and Agreement, Income Tax Withholding directs the partnership, S-corporation or LLC not to withhold and places all of the compliance requirements on the partner, shareholder or member. See Code Section 12-8-590; SC Revenue Procedure 17-2.
What is the purpose of the Nonresident Shareholder or Partner Affidavit and Agreement Income Tax Withholding (Form I-309)?
The affidavit is used by a nonresident shareholder or partner to request an exemption from the withholding required pursuant to Code Section 12-8-590. A separate affidavit must be submitted by each partner or shareholder for stock that is jointly owned. The affidavit is valid for all subsequent years and should not be resubmitted to the entity as long as (1) the shareholder's or partner's nonresident status remains unchanged or (2) the withholding exemption is not revoked by the SCDOR. A shareholder or partner should fully complete the affidavit and submit it directly to the S-corporation or partnership. The affidavit should be signed by an officer of the corporation or a partner in the partnership. Joint owners of a partnership interest or stock in an S-corporation must file separate I-309s. A partnership or LLC taxed as a partnership should attach the I-309s to the SC1065 partnership return or SC8736 extension, and file with the SCDOR on or before the 15th day of the third month following the close of the partnership's tax year. Any Income Tax due must be paid by the original due date of the return and is subject to the declaration of Estimated Tax rules. The affidavit does not need to be completed by shareholders or partners for which the S-corporation or partnership will file a composite nonresident Income Tax return.
How does the SC1065 partnership return avoid withholding on exempt income?
Line 3 of SC1065 deducts any amount of income from Line 2 that is exempt from withholding because of I-309 affidavits and composite filing. The partnership or LLC taxed as a partnership should include a statement explaining the adjustment.


Seattle is an exciting, progressive city. However, out of the 50 biggest cities in the United States, Seattle is last when it comes to paying woman the same as men. According to the National Partnership for Woman and Families, a full-time employed woman in Seattle makes just 73 cents for every dollar earned by a man.
I'll rely on my experience at the American Red Cross, on the Seattle Women's Commission, as a legislative district chair for Planned Parenthood Votes, as a coordinator for the Puget Sound Blood Center and my Master's Degree in Public Policy to provide progressive leadership on this and other top priorities. This includes building a better relationship between the community and police to reduce crime and stop excessive force. It includes ensuring developers are paying their fair share for affordable housing. It also includes a municipal broadband network to give average citizens and business startups an affordable entry to high speed internet in today's global economy.
Ensure 12 weeks of parental leave for city employees: The City of Seattle is off to a good start with four weeks. However, it's time for the City to join the rest of the world and give employees the time they need to start in their role as parents.
Close the wage gap at the city: We need to close our wage gap among city employees by completing salary and position changes within one year and build a sustainable pipeline for recruitment, promotion and equity in all departments. The City of Seattle has to set an example as an employer.
More accountability and transparency with wage data: The complex issues that perpetuate the wage gap mean we don't have quick fixes for the problem. But there is proof that tracking and transparency of wage data holds employers accountable. This begins with ensuring all companies applying for city contracts pay woman comparably. San Francisco has already passed this legislation. This law would require city contractors report their employees' pay confidentially to the city's Human Rights Commission.
Together, we can ensure economic justice for all and have a collaborative City Hall. I ask for your vote.
We are justifiably frustrated with City Hall. We're frustrated with the entrenched downtown group-think that seems far more concerned with consolidating power and serving its own interests. But we also don't want grandstanding, divisiveness, and bombastic rhetoric. We need a council that empowers our neighborhoods and diverse communities. We need to create a functional atmosphere for genuine dialogue.
I want to bring the same coalition-building approach to City Hall that I brought to the movement for marriage equality. As Executive Director of Equal Rights Washington I made sustainable, lasting change by bringing together people of faith, labor, business and civil rights groups. We empowered people to tell their stories, and by telling their stories they were able to affect change. That's what we need to do in City Hall.
Our city has issues to overcome. Seattle's rapid growth is creating difficult challenges that the current political dialogue has been unable to address.
Public Safety: Our streets need to be safe for all. We need quick response times to incidents, but we also need accountability with our police force. Effective policing shouldn't come at the cost of citizen rights, and we need to take steps to ensure everyone is safe on our streets.
Affordability: We need to create living wage jobs and housing options that reflect the diversity of our city. We cannot continue to price out the middle class.
Transportation: The city needs a realistic plan that prioritizes transportation for the future; transit systems that work together, not at odds with one another, and will help commuters avoid traffic. We must address repairing streets and safe sidewalks for pedestrians.
Let's grow Seattle's ability to be a place for justice, sustainability, arts, culture and innovation. Let's make Seattle even stronger.
We need a bridge builder, not a bridge burner. That's who I am.
Proudly endorsed by Democratic and progressive leaders: former Seattle Deputy Mayors Bob Watt and Bill Stafford; former Seattle City Councilmember and Senior Policy Advisor to Mayor Ed Murray, Tina Podlodowski; Congressman Derek Kilmer; Rep. Joan McBride; Rep. Laurie Jinkins; King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski, among many others.
The centralization of urban government in Seattle, and urban areas across the nation, has destroyed community self-management and citizen participation. And, in the words of the late U.S. Senator, Mark Hatfield, "… we must reverse this trend and develop our cities along the lines of neighborhood government and inter-neighborhood cooperation." Today, the citizens of Seattle can help realize the Oregon Senator's dream, but first we must prepare ourselves, by recalling the past.
It's been said that luck is where preparation and opportunity meet, if that's true, then luck is on the side of Seattle citizens, because the opportunity to create a new form of urban government is before us, and the City's activist past has prepared us to meet the challenge.
America's first "neighborhood council" was formed in Seattle by business and civic leaders of the African American, Japanese American and Chinese American communities, after WWII. Almost all of them, and the people of their communities, were residents of the Central Area (the only area where blacks could own a home in Seattle), and Chinatown (now known as the International District).
The Jackson Street Community Council, as it was named, had a board of Directors, a paid staff, and published the City's first integrated business directory. Over time, seeing the political impact of the Jackson Street Council, surrounding neighborhoods formed their own community council's. During the mid 60s, they all organized into the Central Seattle Community Council Federation (CSCCF), and became a neighborhood force.
Eventually reaching a membership of more than 80 Councils and other community-based organizations, the Federation helped to bring an end to housing segregation; an end to school segregation (without a court order), and, an end to the practice of "redlining" by the banking and insurance industries. But, today the Federation no longer exists.
This campaign is focused on the issues facing our senior citizens (housing, poverty, quality of life), knowing that the real solutions to those and all the other issues facing us, can only come from the people that make up our neighborhoods.
As a former reporter, and a past Executive Director of the Central Seattle Community Council Federation, I've seen the effectiveness of "neighborhood power." It proves that active citizen participation forces government accountability, and corporate responsibility. As a Council member, my priority would be to use the tools of the office to empower existing Councils, which could eventually lead to neighborhood government.
Like so many of you, I want to live in a city based on social justice. A city free of discrimination and poverty, with racial and gender equality, where all people can work and live in dignity.
But the reality is far different. Our city is becoming increasingly unequal and unaffordable.
Since my election in 2013, I have helped to lead the opposition to the corporate agenda in Seattle.
As a representative of working people, I do not take a penny in corporate cash. While the rest of the City Councilmembers pay themselves $120,000/year, I only take the average worker's wage and donate the rest to social justice movements.
I am proud to be endorsed by King County Councilmember Larry Gossett, State Senator Pramila Jayapal, former Mayor Mike McGinn, and over 30 community organizations and unions, including Sierra Club, Transit Riders Union, UFCW 21, SEIU 775, 1199, 925 and 6, Teamsters 117, 174 and 763, IAM 751, ILWU 19, Socialist Alternative, National Women's Political Caucus of WA, and many, many more.
For too long our government has been dominated by establishment politicians beholden to big developers. I ask for your vote to continue providing a voice for working people on Seattle City Council. Let's work together to make Seattle affordable for all!
Proven Progressive Leadership: Pamela Banks began as a community organizer and union member, working in Seattle neighborhoods to ensure city programs reached underserved residents and communities. She has a strong track record of reducing disparities in education, employment, housing and health. We need her dedication and passion working for us in City Hall.
Affordability For All: Committed to addressing the affordable housing crisis, Pamela is the ONLY candidate in this race who actually helped residents stay in their homes by working with banks. She understands we need a variety of policies to meet the diverse needs of our community -- from controlling growth in rents to increasing the supply of affordable housing.
Public Safety Improvements: Families and businesses need improved police response and involvement, and we must better address crime in all our neighborhoods. A vocal advocate for police reform, Pamela knows that bringing law enforcement closer to the community improves safety and accountability.
Strong Neighborhood Schools: Pamela understands the connection between education and opportunity, particularly for youth of color. A single mother, Pamela volunteered at her son's schools and helped build after-school and athletic programs. Her tenacity improved the lives of youth in District 3, and she will continue to fight for education at City Hall.
Green, Smart Transportation: At a candidates forum it was revealed that Pamela is the ONLY District 3 candidate who rides Metro, a lifeline for so many working people, students and commuters. She understands that good transit means healthier lives and a stronger economy. Pamela will lead the effort to build a smart connected network that moves all of us efficiently, while reducing our carbon footprint.
Pamela is proudly endorsed by: King County Young Democrats, former Executive Ron Sims, Seattle Councilmember Bruce Harrell, State Representatives Eric Pettigrew, Sharon Tomiko Santos, former Mayors Nickels, Rice, Royer and Uhlman, and Rev. Samuel B. McKinney, Alison Holcomb, Jon Bridge, Ruth Woo and Nate Miles.

The most common educational path starts with a bachelor's degree in psychology. From there, students move on to a master's degree, then finish with either a PsyD or a PhD at the doctoral level. Some schools offer joint degree programs, allowing students to get a master's and doctorate degree at the same time. After graduating, students are eligible to test for licensure and may pursue real-world experiences.
The British Psychological Society commissioned a working group to survey the evidence and write a formal report on hypnotherapy in 2001. They found, "Enough studies have now accumulated to suggest that the inclusion of hypnotic procedures may be beneficial in the management and treatment of a wide range of conditions and problems encountered in the practice of medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy."
Graduate and post-graduate students typically complete advanced coursework in exercise science, kinesiology and clinical psychology. A one-year internship through a program approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) may be an additional requirement for graduation. Continuing education and training is available through several professional organizations, including the APA and the Association for Applied Sport Psychology, once state licensing or certification as a psychologist is obtained.
Three months today! Woo-hoo! After 12 years of being off cigarettes, I started smoking again. Ugh. Such a bummer. And I didn't think I had another quit in me. I did everything I could to stop on my own and wasn't able to sustain more than a day or two. I finally had enough and found Rita on Yelp. I had one hypnotherapy sessions and left her office a non-smoker. These past 3 months have been relatively easy and calm. Sure, every now and again I think I want "just one," but a) one's too many and a 1000 is not enough, and b) I am a non-smoker!
Check for understanding and emotion. Make sure the recipient hears and correctly interprets the intended message. Look at the facial expressions: Does he/she look surprised, shocked, confused, angry, or ambivalent? Invite the recipient to ask clarifying questions or have them paraphrase the message to check for understanding. Also invite them to discuss how they are feeling. You might say, "You look rather surprised. How are you feeling right now? Are you clear on what's expected? Is there anything else you'd like to discuss?"
October 20, 2017 - At the annual conference of the Association of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), Center faculty, current doctoral students, and alumni had a reunion dinner to reconnect and make new connections among the many generations that were in attendance. Pictured are (from left in front row): Dr. Robert Harmison (James Madison University), Dr. Nick Beck (private practice, Pensacola FL), and Karolina Wartolowicz (third year doctoral student); (from left in the back row): Carlie McGregor (third year doctoral student), Dr. Joey Raemaker (University of Notre Dame), Dr. Trent A. Petrie (UNT Center Director, Tess Palmateer (second year doctoral student), Andrew Walsh (first year doctoral student), Alan Chu (fifth year doctoral student), and Dr. Brian Yu (UC Davis).
The services of an Executive Coach can be engaged to support a Board President in building and empowering the board to clarify and accomplish its mission. Mentorship may also come from an experienced past board president—either at your organization or at another organization who can share their experience and lessons learned. Executive recruiters who specialize in placement of board members will likely know or have access to many such individuals. A coach is different than a mentor in that the coach helps YOU determine the solutions that are going to work best by asking the right questions and probing in the right places, layering in advice only after the have helped you to come up with the solution on your own, and will likely have facilitation abilities to work with the board as a group. You can find an Executive Coach through referrals, or by conducting an internet search for coaches in your area, or through professional associations.
Some exercise and sport psychology professionals are also licensed psychologists, who are doctorally trained individuals who have met their state's educational and training requirements and passed a comprehensive exam. These psychologists undergo specialized postdoctoral training in how to optimize athletes' performance and well-being. Only licensed psychologists may call themselves psychologists.
This shows you the Therapeutic part of the session - the Suggestion Therapy section. The client I did the session for was an aspiring Author, so the session was created to enable her to bring these gifts and her message out into the world via a book. Note the suggestions given to the Subconscious mind as well as the Forward Pacing, Anchor & Post Hypnotic Suggestion.
So long as the therapist is trained and follows basic ethical norms, hypnotherapy is safe. Some people may feel dizzy or nauseous during or after being hypnotized. People who discuss traumatic memories may be subject to feelings of panic, flashbacks, or general feelings of anxiety, and the clinician or client may elect to discontinue treatment when symptoms are severe.
A survey of advanced and contemporary theories in the study of organizational coaching and of the leading scholars who have made important contributions to the field. Topics will include formal and informal coaching relationships; internal and external practices; and advance coaching-related skill development. Students will develop coaching skills through in-class and out-of-class practice.
Researchers who have studied hypnosis say more, well-conducted studies are needed to determine if hypnosis really helps smokers kick the habit for good, but add that hypnosis remains a hopeful approach and has many other benefits. However, the best way to quit may be to combine several techniques. Patients often require several different strategies along the way.
I work with athletes and performers at every level, from novice and recreational to elite and professional, so the situations that I address are constantly evolving, bringing different challenges each day. I may give training to an entire team, meet with an individual client at my office, or observe a client at practice or at a competition. I may speak with their coaches or families; it just depends on what we are trying to accomplish. We work on developing the mental side of their game and performance. This involves building skills in areas such as focus, concentration, motivation, goal-setting, managing intensity, overcoming performance obstacles, stress management, and learning how to perform optimally even under pressure. We also address issues such as performance anxiety, burnout, lack of confidence, recovering from an injury, and handling performance pressures that come when new levels of achievement are attained.

'Maximizing the Impact of Executive Coaching: Behavioral change, organizational outcomes, and return on investment' – As executive coaching practitioners, Joy McGovern and colleagues have direct experience demonstrating that this leadership development practice does have a lasting impact on the individuals who participate in it, on the larger organization they are a part of and on the organization's financial bottom line.
Water helps you feel full, so you eat less. "Consuming eight to 10 cups of plain water daily can boost weight loss because research shows that thirst can be confused with hunger," says Misti Gueron, MS, RDN, nutritionist at the Khalili Center. "Many people reach for food because of cravings, low energy or boredom, and these habits can lead to unnecessary weight gain," she added. In fact, it's so powerful that one study found that people who drank two cups of water 30 minutes before meals for three months dropped nearly three more pounds than people who didn't pre-hydrate before mealtime. To help achieve your weight loss goal, try drinking eight ounces of water when you first wake up, carrying a BPA-free water bottle or tracking your water intake on your phone.
The other recent study, by Canadian researchers, found the same thing by looking at brain activity when people have power. They found that increased power diminishes the ability to be empathic and compassionate because power appears to affect the "mirror system" of the brain, through which one is "wired" to experience what another person is experiencing. Researchers found that even the smallest bit of power shuts down that part of the brain and the ability to empathize with others.
Mark Hall, a professional hypnotherapist and licensed social worker, was well aware of that, of course. He quit smoking many years ago himself—he says he still remembers reaching for a phantom lighter that wasn't in his pocket—and he has been holding sessions like these for more than 20 years, aimed at convincing others that they can do it themselves. Typically his hypnotherapy sessions cost around $150, or $95 with insurance coverage, but this event, sponsored by the Sanborn Foundation for the Treatment and Cure of Cancer, was near my home, and open and free to the public. In other words, there was no reason not to go, except, perhaps, a question that had been frightening me all week as the meeting approached: What if it doesn't work? Or, maybe even worse: What if it actually does? Then what the hell am I going to do? As crazy as it sounds, smoking is such a major part of my daily routine, the prospect of losing it is scary.
Dr. Banks teaches Bush how to calm his anxiety and stress before a game with deep breathing exercises and meditation. He even gives Bush a CD with a guided imagery exercise on it that will take him to his 'happy place' (his cabin in the mountains) for 10 minutes to get into a relaxed mindset. These techniques also help Bush cope with the pressures from family, friends, coaches, and the sports organization of which he is a part.
Sport psychology is a proficiency that uses psychological knowledge and skills to address optimal performance and well-being of athletes, developmental and social aspects of sports participation, and systemic issues associated with sports settings and organizations. APA recognizes sport psychology as a proficiency acquired after a doctoral degree in one of the primary areas of psychology and licensure as a psychologist. This proficiency does not include those who have earned a doctoral degree in sport psychology but are not licensed psychologists.
Experience is the best teacher. In the future, executive coaching will move from explaining to experiencing. People will desire to learn in a format that is memorable and fun. Breakthrough thinking and new information will be driven by executive individualization based on what experience the executive needs in order to achieve new patterns of action. - Ken Gosnell, CEO Experience
Bush has difficulty adhering to his physical therapy regimen after a sports injury; Dr. Banks is able to help him with motivation and consistency in maintaining these appointments and exercises. Bush is also experiencing pain from his injury, and Dr. Banks is able to teach him mental exercises like meditation that will help relieve some of the pain.
In 2002, the Department for Education and Skills developed National Occupational Standards for hypnotherapy[45] linked to National Vocational Qualifications based on the then National Qualifications Framework under the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. NCFE, a national awarding body, issues level four national vocational qualification diploma in hypnotherapy. Currently AIM Awards offers a Level 3 Certificate in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills at level 3 of the Regulated Qualifications Framework.[46]


Difference between revisions of "Thanix cannon"
A '''Thanix cannon''' is an advanced [[mass accelerator]] weapon developed by the [[turian|Turian Heirarchy]], based on salvaged components of the main weapon of the [[Reaper]], Sovereign.
A '''Thanix magneto-hydrodynamic cannon''' is an advanced [[mass accelerator]] weapon developed by the [[turian|Turian Heirarchy]], based on salvaged components of the main weapon of the [[Reaper]], Sovereign.
The Thanix cannon fires a stream molten metal -- a mix of iron, tungsten, and uranium -- that has been shaped into an armor piercing bolt. The [[mass accelerator]] propels this stream toward the target at a significant fraction of lightspeed.
The Thanix cannon fires a stream of molten metal -- a mix of iron, tungsten, and uranium -- that has been shaped into an armor piercing bolt. The [[mass accelerator]] propels this stream toward the target at a significant fraction of lightspeed. The heat and extended impact of the bolt make it more effective at penetrating [[kinetic barrier]]s than conventional mass accelerator slugs, and the nature of the cannon is supposed to circumvent the normal length limitations of mass accelerators.
The exact firepower of the weapon isn't specified, but it is stated that a Thanix cannon mounted on a [[frigate]] or [[starfighter|fighter]] can carry the firepower of a [[cruiser]]'s mass accelerator. This presumably means it has less firepower than a [[dreadnought]]'s mass accelerator, which delivers about 38 kt of energy per shot.
The exact firepower of the weapon isn't specified, but it is stated that a Thanix cannon mounted on a [[frigate]] or [[starfighter|fighter]] can carry the firepower of a [[cruiser]]'s mass accelerator. This presumably means it has less firepower than a [[dreadnought]]'s mass accelerator, which delivers about 38 kt of energy per shot. Assuming that a cruiser's mass accelerator is about half as long as a dreadnought's (and otherwise the same), the projectile would have 1/4 the kinetic energy, or around 10 kt, and a frigate's Thanix cannon would be comparable.
Just two shots from the Thanix cannon mounted on the [[Normandy SR-2]] were sufficient to destroy a [[Collector cruiser]]. The Reaper weapon upon which it is based can deliver hundreds of kilotons of energy in a single shot, but it is part of a much larger warship.

In the aftermath of the Battle of the Citadel, all of the Citadel powers scrambled to salvage debris from the destroyed Reaper. The turians recovered significant portions of Sovereign's main gun, and within two years they had developed the prototype Thanix cannon. Calling upon his contacts in Citadel Security and the Turian Hierarchy, Garrus Vakarian was able to obtain plans and components to have a Thanix cannon installed on the Normandy.
Specifications for the Thanix cannon proliferated, making them common upgrades for warships and starfighters among the Citadel races.
