RIA & DIT Exports Webinar – Rail Baltica, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
The Railway Industry Association (RIA), in partnership with the Department for International Trade (DIT), held the second instalment of its Export Outreach webinar series on Tuesday (May 12th), which provided a forum for the UK rail industry to hear from different European markets.
The second webinar saw delegates hear from a member of the Rail Baltica Project, as well as other representatives from leading railway organisations in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Delegates were also presented with a range of opportunities available to the UK rail sector companies.
"Rail Baltica is vital for the region… something that all three [Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania] Governments are supportive of and it has full support from the European Commission," began Mark Loader, the Chief Program Management Officer of Rail Baltica.
The rail project is aiming to integrate the Baltic States in the European rail network. The project includes five European Union countries – Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and indirectly also Finland, and will connect Helsinki, Tallinn, Pärnu, Rīga, Panevežys, Kaunas, Vilnius, Warsaw to the European rail network.
Loader said that the project was well underway in all three states and continued to deliver an overview of the project construction timeline, starting in 2019 and aiming to end in 2026. The first section of the timeline is focused on Alignment Infrastructure. Detailed technical design of the main line has been running from 2019 and will be followed by the procurement of construction services and construction works.
Loader also introduced the next stage, Fixed Objects, which makes up the second segment of the project, which includes features like stations, depots, and maintenance facilities. Again, this section of the timeline is divided into the preliminary design, procurement, and the design and build stage.
This was followed by the Rail Systems stage, which Rail Baltica have just started developing, with the aim of proceed to the procurement and installation stage in the next few years.
The final stage of the project, the Testing Stage, aims to start from mid-2023 with the aim to open the line by the end of 2026. Loader highlighted that the European Commission have stated that 'infrastructure projects like Rail Baltica are important elements in helping economic development in post Covid-19 environment and the plan is to carry on investing into infrastructure like this'. EU funding is up to 85% of the project with the rest funded by the national governments of the Baltic States.
Loader was followed by Maia Sokk, Innovation Manager for Estonian Railways Ltd, a state-owned company which manages the country's rail system. Sokk explained that the strategy for Estonian Railways for 2019-2024 is split into four sections: Infrastructure, Training/ Development, Customers, and Internal Processes, and that every project is linked to one of these pillars.
Sokk began by introducing the freight company in Estonia called Operail which operate in four main business areas: freight transportation, rolling stock repair, maintenance, and modernisation & rolling stock rental. Operail have future projects that include transport optimisation, multimodal freight terminals and locomotive fleet projects and they welcome UK business getting involved.
Sokk also introduced the passenger operator Elron and the infrastructure company Edelaraudtee and Sokk concluded by talking about the modernisation of signalling systems, the implementation of new timetabling and traffic control and management systems for Estonian Railways – all of which UK rail businesses are encouraged to engage with. Other key projects in Estonia include the electrification of the railway by 2028 and modernisation of railroad crossings by the end of 2024.
Gundars Ābols, from Latvian Railways, continued the discussion by giving a background of the state-owned company which is divided into smaller companies which oversee different functions of the network including rolling stock, logistics, freight and infrastructure. The Latvian rail system is well connected to other countries like CIS and as well as to Asia. Ābols highlighted the current key project for Latvia is the Rail Baltica project and that there are many opportunities for UK business to get involved in from the consulting stage, through to the construction and finally the testing stages.
The discussion ended with an overview from Andrius Žilėnas from Lithuanian Railways and Mantas Kaušylas from Lietuvos geležinkelių infrastruktūra, AB (Lithuanian Railway Infrastructure, LGI), which is responsible for all, including 1520 mm and Rail Baltica 1435 mm gauge railway, network infrastructure, safety, modernisation, and development in Lithuania.
Žilėnas started his talk by introducing the Lithuanian Rail Strategy 2030 which aims to increase freight and passenger capacity as well as revenue. He stated that they plan to achieve these goals by increasing efficiency, building a safe, reliable, and fast infrastructure network and becoming passengers' first choice. Žilėnas also stressed that there is a 7-billion-euro investment and that there are a vast number of projects both ongoing and in the future for UK companies to get involved in.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., April 10, 2018, speaks on Capitol Hill.
Senate candidate Mitt Romney delivers his speech to the delegates at the Utah Republican Nominating Convention, April 21, 2018, at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah.
"Getting the right candidate out of the primary often makes the difference between winning and losing the general election. It's absolutely critical," said GOP strategist Whit Ayres.
"The machine is empowered" in midterms, said associate professor Thomas Whalen, an expert on political parties at Boston University.
With a two-seat majority and Sen. John McCain battling cancer in Arizona, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell needs all the votes he can get.
And, if the Senate is expected to serve as a counterbalance to a potential Democratically-controlled House next year, the pressure is on the party to perform in November.
The GOP leader has overseen some close Senate votes in the past few weeks: Jim Bridenstine was narrowly confirmed to be the next NASA administrator after Republican Sen. Jeff Flake held back his consent before finally voting yes.
And when Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky declared he was a "no" on secretary of state nominee Mike Pompeo, McConnell needed a Democrat to help him get Pompeo over the line. He lucked out and got two and then Paul decided to support Pompeo, but the next vote may not turn out as well for the GOP.
Fortunately for McConnell and the party, the math for 2018 favors the GOP. Republicans are only defending eight seats this cycle to the Democrats' 24 and 10 of those Democratic contests are in states Donald Trump won in 2016.
This past weekend Romney, who has criticized Trump in the past, was forced into a June 26 primary with state Rep. Mike Kennedy, who was the preferred candidate of the conservative delegates who made up the convention.
While Romney is expected to prevail in November, there are some other contests where the winner of the primary may not be the party's strongest option in the general election.
Republicans are closely watching West Virginia's May 8th Republican race, where outside spending groups have already spent $1.4 million in the GOP primary contest, according to Federal Election Commission reports.
Former coal mine executive Don Blankenship was the CEO of Massey Energy Company when 29 miners were killed in the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster in 2010. He was convicted of a felony in the aftermath and was released from last year. He's battling against Rep. Evan Jenkins and state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.
"One of the strongest Republican candidates spent time in jail," Ayres noted.
If Blankenship wins the nomination, Republicans fear Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, who is seen as vulnerable this year, could have an easier chance at re-election than a different nominee, several GOP strategists said.
In Arizona, Joe Arpaio, who calls himself "America's Toughest Sheriff," is competing against fellow conservative Kelli Ward and Rep. Martha McSally. The loud and boisterous Arpaio was convicted of contempt of court in July 2017 and pardoned by Trump a month later.
And Ward had a controversial moment of her own when, after McCain announced he was battling brain cancer, she suggested he resign as quickly as possible and the governor appoint her to his seat.
McSally is seen as the best chance to defeat Rep. Kyrsten Sinema in November and hold onto to retiring GOP Sen. Jeff Flake's seat.
Then there's Indiana, which is having one of the nastiest GOP primary contests in recent history where all three candidates are slinging mud at one another.
Rep. Todd Rokita and Rep. Luke Messer have particularly hit each other hard with unfavorable stories coming out about each of them: Rokita's use of a personal driver and Messer's past DUIs.
Meanwhile, businessman Mike Braun is outspending them both to raise his name ID. There are some fears the battle between Messer and Rokita could result in Braun receiving the nomination to battle Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly in November.
"That's the kind of the primary that no matter who comes out of it, they may carry a good deal of damage because of the primary," Ayres said.
The other primaries that could see bitter battles brew include the one for the Mississippi special Senate election where conservative Chris McDaniel is challenging appointed Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, who used to be a Democrat before she switched parties in 2010.
And then there's the battle to take on Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin in November. State Sen. Leah Vukmir is backed by more establishment types like former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus while conservatives like Kevin Nicholson, who got $1 million in support from John Bolton's super PAC.

La fontaine Saint-Fursy est une fontaine située dans la commune française de Lagny-sur-Marne, dans le département de Seine-et-Marne. Elle a été inscrite monument historique en 1926.

Situation et accès

La fontaine se situe dans la quartier du Cœur de ville, à Lagny-sur-Marne, dans le département de Seine-et-Marne. Elle trône en plein milieu de la place de la Fontaine, voie piétonne du centre-ville.

Histoire
La fontaine se trouve à l'endroit même où, en 643, saint Fursy arrivant à Lagny-sur-Marne, planta son bâton si fort sur une pierre qu'une source jaillit, source que l'on qualifia de « miraculeuse ».

Une fontaine était devenue nécessaire du fait de l'affluence lors des foires de champagne, dont Lagny  faisait partie. La construction de la fontaine est mentionnée par les textes au  et  exactement en 1274 sous le nom de fontaine Saint-Foursi

Son aspect a évolué au fil du temps, au , le premier élément a été la cuve, ornée de deux masques humains, d'un personnage la tête en bas, et d'une harpie, qui a été placée sur une colonne. Il y avait également sur la face sud une fleur de lys, et sur la face ouest un écusson uni.

Il n'y avait aucun échappement d'eau à partir de ses sculptures. Ce n'est qu'en 1523 que trois motifs en bronze sont posés sur la partie nord, cachant les décorations qui y étaient, et qui rejetaient l'eau jusqu'en 1902.

Située au centre de la place portant le même nom, cette fontaine de  de circonférence était à l'origine un abreuvoir ; une pierre à laver pour le « menu peuple » y était accolée.

Son architecture a évolué au fur et à mesure de ses restaurations.

Cette fontaine a fait l'objet de nombreuses réparations en 1523, 1603, 1787, 1807. La dernière, en 1902, a consisté à remplacer purement et simplement la fontaine existante : son état de vétusté ayant été constaté, celle-ci a été détruite.

La dernière restauration a fait l'objet de nombreuses contestations, en effet, le , une commission de travaux décident de la détruire et d'élever à la place une simple vasque en bronze.

Le , Émile-Gustave Cavallo-Péduzzi proteste contre le projet et demande l'ajournement de ce projet et le , Jacques-Amédée Le Paire, adresse également un courrier au maire lui demandant l'arrêt de ce projet, demandant que la restauration soit faite  dans le style du , courrier en forme de pétition signée par 155 personnes.

Mais rien n'y fait, l'ajournement est refusé par le Ministre des Beaux-Arts, qui considère que certaines parties de la fontaine seront conservées et remises, cette fontaine gardera son intérêt historique.

Depuis sa dernière restauration, elle se présente aujourd'hui sous la forme d'un fût à base carrée datant du , un chapiteau cubique d'art roman recouvre celui-ci, avec des sculptures de grotesques à chaque angle. Sur une des faces de ce chapiteau, trois bouches de bronze datant du  déversent l'eau dans le bassin, deux petites représentant un visage de femme aux cheveux relevés, la troisième le visage d'un homme, barbu, cornu, avec une gueule de chien. La représentation du Saint Clou qui y figurait depuis le  n'a pas été remise lors de sa dernière restauration en 1902.

Une deuxième vasque, en partie supérieure, est alimentée en eau par un jet en bronze datant de 1603 : c'est le seul élément qui a été conservé lors de la dernière restauration. Cinq feuilles de vigne ornent la calotte.

* LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL SEARCH. The Little Rock school district now has a weblink for information about the superintendent search. Relevant information and updates will be posted in days ahead, Board President Melanie Fox said.
* STATE TROOPER ON LEAVE: State Police Director Win Phillips has reinstated fired Trooper Andrew Rhew of Manila, who faces trial in Mississippi County on a manslaughter charge for the 2009 death of a woman in a highway crash with is speeding patrol car. As I understand the letter, the reinstatement protects Phillips' ability to fire Rhew again in the future, after his trial. He'll be on paid administrative leave. He had been appealing his firing to the State Police Commission.
"And I have said many times," he later added, "publicly, that I do think he has a different worldview and I think it's, in part, molded out of a very different experience. Most of us grew up going to Boy Scout meetings and, you know, our communities were filled with Rotary Clubs, not madrassas."
* MORE GUNS=SAFETY: Perhaps not in the case of this fellow in Hope who got hold of a couple of loaded handguns and allegedly threatened to shoot kids getting off a school bus.
* TIM GRIFFIN/RICK CRAWFORD PROTECT BRIDGE TO NOWHERE: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee notes U.S. Reps. Tim Griffin and Rick Crawford aren't across-the-board expense choppers. Continued on jump.

The Anti-Corruption Commission has started investigation Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) boss Zindaba Soko over the six blocks of flats he acquired from the National Housing Authority using corrupt means, the Watchdog understands.
The proceeds of crime are in North gate gardens off Kasangula road, near SoS.
These flats were bought for Soko by a company which has entered into a contract with RATSA as direct inducement for the contract to manage roads in Zambia.
A source has explained that the ACC have taken interest in the matter and have since visited the place where the flats are.
Soko is said to have received other bribes includes vehicles from the same company.

Evansville Courier & Press Published 1:07 a.m. CT Nov. 24, 2013
Purdue coach Darrell Hazell after the Boilermakers 20-16 loss to Illinois Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium:
Opening statement: HAZELL: "I thought after the first couple of series our defense settled in and got them stopped. Obviously we needed to make more plays offensively the last two quarters to keep our defense off the field and put some points on the board. We didn't make enough plays obviously. We missed a field goal; that was a big momentum play right at the end of the half.
"We've got to make some more plays offensively. That's the only way you are going to win football games -- you've got to make more plays."
On Purdue's defensive effort: HAZELL: "I thought they played extremely well. Against a team that is averaging 32.2 points game, I thought they did an amazing job, especially in the second half. What they did is play well."
On a third-down call on Purdue's final drive in which Dan Monteroso was supposed to throw-back to quarterback Danny Etling, but instead took a 1-yard loss: HAZELL: "There was a guy standing in the lane. We had a throw-back call to the quarterback, and the backside edge was standing in the middle of the lane, so he didn't throw it. It was a good decision by Monteroso to not throw that ball. If the guy had closed, he would have walked down the sideline."

The Whisky Explorers Club is back, and it's new and improved, as they say (though in this case, the saying is both particularly apt and true). We were a bit disappointed in the first iteration of the WEC, as the whiskies in the little black bags turned out to be less sophisticated than we'd hoped. As it turned out, though, Douglas Stone from ForScotchLovers, the man behind the concept, was also a bit disappointed (ok, he was more than a bit disappointed) in the WEC's first run. In the process of getting the WEC off the ground, Doug ran into a number of unexpected bouts of bad luck, including ending up on the wrong side of some less than fully scrupulous government officials (we're not saying which government). The result was less than optimal and certainly less than Doug had envisioned.
As a student of history, Doug was keen to avoid being doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he set himself to learn from the past and then headed off in a somewhat new direction for the second version of the WEC. He kept the basic concept in place–offer members small, blind tastes of a number of different whiskies–but turned away from miniatures. At first, this made us a little sad, since we got our start on minis and still review them whenever possible, but then we heard what he was replacing them with: MoM minis! It was a brilliant move, to our minds. As you likely all know, we're big fans of Master of Malt and their Drinks by the Dram offerings.
Well, this time around, Doug has partnered with Master of Malt to provide drams with their actual identities so well hidden that the blindness of the tastings are completely idiot-proof: you couldn't ruin the blindness of the tasting if you tried. OK, you could do so by obviating the whole point of the exercise, but if you're inclined that way (and that much of a tool), you might do better to buy a bottle of something cheap, drink half of it really quickly, then slap a blank label over your own eyes and then try to remember/guess what you're drinking.
ForScotchLovers Managing Editor Ian Buxton, who is the author of the top-selling 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die, personally selects the whiskies that go into each flight. Each membership includes four flights with five whiskies in each. And if you act now, you can receive a free signed copy of Ian's book, 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die–and yes, that's signed by the author!
To receive your free signed copy of Ian's book, make sure you add the book to your shopping cart along with your Whisky Explorers Club membership and then enter promotional code "101ForMe" (without the quotation marks) in the coupon/promotion field in the shopping cart–and choose "FedEx Ground" for shipping.
Hurry and order now before Black Friday consumes you and all you hold dear. In other words, it seems to us that this deal would make for a great gift for the whisky lover in your life this holiday season.
Dram #1 was the Glenfarclas 21 year-old!
Dram #2 was the Springbank 15!
Dram #3 was the Compass Box Hedonism!
Dram #4 was the Hibiki 12!
So you can see, Mr. Buxton has chosen some serious quality for this deal, and we're very excited to see what's coming in the regular flights! We find the site associated with the Whisky Explorers Club to be a bit less than completely straightforward, but we were very pleased with the overall experience, especially as compared with the first iteration of the WEC. Our kudos to Doug for a wonderful revamping of the Club. Stop by ForScotchLovers to check it out!

The Ecosystems in Taiwan
Taiwan is an island surrounded by the sea, with 42% of the land area comprised of mountain ranges. Among these mountains, there are more than 100 peaks over 3,000 meters high. Because of this topography, Taiwan incorporates numerous ecological zones, and a wide variety of ecosystems, and a correspondingly wide diversity of flora and fauna.
There is the coastal zone with its marine ecosystem which includes coral reefs, beaches, estuaries, etc. Within various zones there are ecosystems associated with lakes and streams. There are a variety of tropical rainforest canopy, woodland, and forest ecosystems also within a variety of ecological zones ranging from sea level to over 3,000 meters in altitude; in addition, there are a number of ecosystems that have emerged as a result of the spread of the presence of man from rural farmlands to large cities.
There are more than 9,000 species of birds in the world. Taiwan, with an area of 36,000 sq. km, has records of more than 577 species of birds, forming the second highest bird density anywhere in the world.
Taiwan belongs to the Oriental zoogeographical region, and the entire ecosystem here is very special. The birds found in Taiwan are related to those in mainland China and the Himalayas. Every autumn and winter, thousands of migratory birds fly south to the island, while some of the summer migrants from south China remain there the entire season.
Some of their most valued birds are the residents, including around 22 endemic species, unique, national treasures of Taiwan which have attracted great concern and admiration of many foreign biologists and nature lovers.
The endemics are: Taiwan Partridge Arborophila crudigularis, Swinhoe's Pheasant Lophura swinhoii, Mikado Pheasant Syrmaticus Mikado, Taiwan Barbet Megalaima nuchalis, Styan's Bulbul Pycnonotus taivanus, Taiwan Whistling-Thrush Myophonus insularis, White-whiskered Laughingthrush Garrulax morrisonianus, Rufous-crowned Laughingthrush Garrulax ruficeps, Hwamei Garrulax taewanus, Collared Bush-Robin Tarsiger johnstoniae, Steere's Liocichla Liocichla steerii, Taiwan Barwing Actinodura morrisoniana, White-eared Sibia Heterophasia auricularis, Taiwan Yuhina Yuhina brunneiceps,Taiwan Bush-warbler Bradypterus alishanensis, Taiwan Fulvetta Alcippe formosana, Flamecrest Regulus goodfellowi, Yellow Tit Parus holsti, Taiwan Scimitar Babbler Pomatorhinus musicus, Black-necklaced Scimitar Babbler Pomatorhinus erythrocnemis, Taiwan Wren-Babbler Pnoepyga formosanaand Taiwan Blue Magpie Urocissa caerulea
Birding is closely related to the seasons, in summer there are resident birds and summer visitors, and in the other seasons there are the winter migrants from the north. It easy to find evidence of birds almost everywhere on the island. If you are patient and go outdoors to the mountains or seashores, you will be able to see many lovely birds hopping, flying and singing around you.

Daughter of former market trader with dementia reveals anguish over 'continuous fight' to get him support
'I'm just another person caught up in the dementia crisis'

The daughter of a "popular" market trader who has dementia has revealed her anguish at trying to get him the care he needs.
Fleur Delaney, a speech therapist living in Stapleford, explained how her 87-year-old father ran a business in the Victoria Centre market for more than 40 years before his diagnosis.
Her father, Harry Shaw, had to retire as the owner of 'Rings and Things' in December 2015 after he flipped his car on the way back from Sainsbury's where he had done his shopping.
It was in hospital where he was then diagnosed with dementia and damage to his frontal lobe.
For the next two years he lived with his wife, Avril, who cared for him - but when she died in 2017 Ms Delaney was left to care for her father who began to exhibit sexual behaviour problems caused by his condition.
Mr Shaw lived in two care homes, one on Cotgrave and another in Beeston, for just a matter of days before he was transferred to an all-male unit in St Ann's - which they are paying for using his savings - after his behaviour and dementia began to take hold.
Ms Delaney, who has a four-year-old daughter, said the past few years have been a "continuous fight" to get funding and the right support while she has "struggled to hold down" her job.
"It was in December 2015 when I got a phone call saying my dad had flipped his car on the way back from Sainsbury's in Beeston," The 45-year-old recalled.
"That's when he started being tested but before that he was making mistakes at work, so after that he had to retire.
"My mum passed away in 2017 and she was looking after him but I've now been having this continuous fight to get help for him."
Born on Christmas Day in 1931, Mr Shaw started out early as a market tradesman, selling underwear and ball pens in Sneinton Market before setting up his business in the Victoria Centre market.
While his long-term memory remains, Fleur said his behaviour has made it "difficult" for him to find the right care home which caters for his needs - some of which even costing "£1,200 every week".

Some people with long-term complex health needs qualify for free social care funded by the NHS - known as NHS continuing healthcare.
She emphasised how in January she asked for a review to see if he was eligible for the funding, but it was only last week that this was arranged.
Despite his needs, it was deemed he did not qualify, and she said his house may now have to be sold to pay for the costly care - something which he worked "his whole life for".
"To meet the strict criteria you need two 'severe' risks and one 'high', but the review found my dad to have two highs and one severe," she explained.
"He cannot walk, he is on a pure-aid diet and I have all the evidence from when he has attacked people, but they are saying he does not meet the strict criteria.
"It was suggested I get a solicitor who costs £2,500 to appeal the decision as I've tried to do it myself and lost.
"People who have won the funding are people who have paid these costs. I'm just another person caught up in the dementia crisis.
"Everything he has worked for is going to have to pay for his care. It shouldn't be this way. He has not got a pension as he worked for himself all his life and he's only got a tiny bit of savings.
"It has been really stressful. Sometimes I cannot sleep because it's all going through my head."
According to the Alzheimer's Society, one million people will have dementia by 2021 and the charity said the system is in "disarray" with the growing number of people with the disease.
A campaign started by the charity, called Fix Dementia Care, has called on the Government to provide a long-term funding solution and invest in the NHS Dementia Fund.
A spokesperson for the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) said: "NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is specific NHS funding which is available to support people with the costs of long term care.
"Eligibility for CHC funding, is assessed in line with the national statutory guidance as set out in the National framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care.
"This funding is not means tested and is based on an assessment of needs rather than a specific diagnosis or condition.
"In addition, locally the CCGs support a high number of jointly funded packages in partnership with the local authorities.
"These packages provide funding for people who do not meet the eligibility outlined in the national guidance.

"This is not a statutory responsibility and is not available in all areas. We believe that this recognises that people with complex care needs (which may be related to conditions such as dementia) may require additional health care support.
"However, in these cases, the social care funded element of any placement remains means tested.
"We also commission community mental health teams, which work with people over 65 living with dementia and, in the city, we fund a specialist dementia outreach team which provides support to care homes and their residents.
"The choice of care homes is a personal one and, whilst we and the local authority support people by providing information, it is the choice of the individual or their families.
"The CCGs and the local authorities work in partnership to support and improve quality in local residential and nursing homes, liaising closely with the CQC who are the inspectors and regulators of all care homes.

The Alzheimer's Society said over the past two decades, the average cost of a nursing home place has "almost doubled and is now nearing £1,000 a week and the typical cost of dementia care is £100,000."
The charity said: "At Alzheimer's Society, we regularly hear from people who have spent all of their life savings on care. Due to the complexity of the condition, the cost of dementia care is up to 15 percent more expensive than other types of social care – we call this the 'Dementia Penalty'."

This answer varies on the type of counseling you're getting.
If you're going for individual counseling, then your session will last approximately 50-55 minutes. This 50-55 minutes is referred to as a "therapeutic hour." This is standard practice, although some clinicians will offer 45-minute sessions or 60-minute sessions. We stick with the 50-55 minutes and "block off" 60 for each session.
Some of the rationale behind the timing is that therapists need a minute to collect their thoughts, jot some notes (if they haven't been taking them during the session), and 'reset' before their next client comes into the office. They also probably need to pee at some point. We are human, after all.
In some situations, your counselor may recommend a lengthier session (such as 80-85 minutes). In no situations will your counselor recommend sessions that are less than 45-55 minutes. It's hard to get therapeutic work done in a smaller amount of time.
Couples counseling is a little bit different than individual. The first three sessions are all right around 85 minutes (just a hair little less than 90) and are focused on assessment. This is because we use Gottman Method Couples Therapy, widely viewed as one of the most effective approaches to couples therapy. Here's a breakdown of what your first three sessions will look like.
Intake Session. You and your partner will come in and your counselor will guide you through a pretty structured session that includes discussion the issues, your goals for therapy, a 10 minute resolution discussion, and an oral history of your relationship, which includes a variety of questions that you'll be asked from you counselor.
Individual Sessions. Your and your partner will individually come in for a 40(ish)-minute session (85 minutes, in total).
Feedback Session. This is the third 85-minute session. After the first two sessions, your counselor will have spent some time on their end consolidating all of the information they've collected. The third session (feedback session) is where you'll be given the results. It's important to note that your counselor will spend time checking in with you both on whether or not the results 'fit' with your relationship.
Fourth Session and Onward. All subsequent sessions for couples counseling are the "regular" (for our practice) length of sessions, 50-55 minutes. Although couples can opt to go back to 85-minute sessions, if they feel the need.
To reiterate, these times are specific to our practice, although you're going to find similar responses across the board. If you're interested in accommodations or have additional questions, let us know!
