The new laws will impose significant new obligations on a much wider range of businesses than previously covered.
On 19 February 2019, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Enhancing Whistleblower Protections) Bill 2018 passed both houses of Federal Parliament and has now received Royal assent. The expanded regime will commence on 1 July 2019.
The expanded coverage of the legislation is – at least in part – a response to the release of the findings of the Hayne Royal Commission into the Banking, Superannuation and Finance sector. However, the new laws will impose significant new obligations on a much wider range of businesses than previously covered.
The key features of this legislation are as follows:
- A requirement that public and larger propriety companies must have a whistleblower policy or face penalties;
- Expansion of eligible whistleblowers to include both current and former employees (plus others);
- Expanded categories of whistleblower disclosures that will be protected , including disclosures about “misconduct” and “an improper state of affairs or circumstances”;
- A requirement to maintain the anonymity of the whistleblower;
- Reversal of burden of proof against defendants facing prosecution;
- Expansion of available remedies for breaching whistleblower obligations;
- Personal “work-related grievances” will be excluded from the protection.
Mandatory implementation of whistleblower policy by ‘larger’ companies
Public companies, and ‘large proprietary companies’ are required to create and implement a ‘whistleblower policy’.
A ‘large proprietary company’ will include any business which satisfies two of the following three conditions –
- annual revenue of $25 million or more;
- gross assets of $12.5 million;
- the company and entities it controls, has 50 or more employees.
The whistleblower policy must contain the following as a minimum:
- the protections available to whistleblowers;
- how and to whom an individual can make a disclosure;
- how the company will support and protect whistleblowers;
- how investigations into a disclosure will proceed;
- how the company will ensure fair treatment of employees who are mentioned in whistleblower disclosures; and
- how the policy will be made available.
Regulations can add to this list.
Expansion of eligible whistleblowers and recipients of disclosures
The new Act has expanded the list of eligible whistleblowers to include former officers, directors, employees, associates, suppliers, and their relatives. Listed recipients of disclosure by a whistleblower has been expanded to include senior managers, auditors, actuaries or regulators such as ASIC or APRA.
Expansion of disclosable matters and the objective test
The new Act provides for protections of disclosures relating to corporate ‘misconduct or improper state of affairs or circumstances’, in relation to matters including breaches of tax laws and the entities’ tax affairs, as well as matters contravening the Corporations Act, banking, superannuation and finance legislation and any Federal offence which carries a penalty of 12 or more months imprisonment.
If the whistleblower ‘reasonably suspects’ there has been misconduct or contravention by the company, then their disclosure will be protected. The former ‘good faith’ disclosure requirement was repealed.
Confidentiality and Anonymity
The new Act requires the identity of the whistleblower to be kept in the strictest confidence and to permit them to remain anonymous if they wish. Any breaches of these requirements may result in severe civil and/or criminal penalties.
Reversal of the burden of proof
The new Act will reverse the burden of proof in compensation claims once a claimant has adduced or pointed to evidence that suggests that the defendant has engaged in conduct that caused detriment to the claimant.
Courts will now be able to issue new remedies in cases of breaches under the new provisions, including awarding compensation, issuing injunctions, ordering apologies and reinstatement of employees.
When considering whether to award compensation, the court can have regard to a number of factors, including whether the employer took reasonable precautions, and exercised due diligence, to avoid the conduct occurring, and if the employer has a whistleblower policy, the extent to which the employer gave effect to the policy.

Question about Office Equipment & Supplies
There might be either a small piece of paper or dust covering the sensor. Take out all of the paper from the printer. Using a can of compressed air blow out the entire paper path. Try the printer again. If it still doesn't work then you may have to get the printer serviced.

Free agent All-Star and world series champion first baseman Eric Hosmer has two lucrative offers on the table. The Kansas City Royals are offering 7 years $147 million and the San Diego Padres are offering 7 years $140 million. As a Padres fan, this would huge and exciting. It would be the the most money the Padres have ever paid one player in their history if this comes to fruition. With Wil Myers already playing first base for the Padres, this would seem to be a controversy waiting to happen but Myers said he’s willing to move back to the outfield where he started his career ironically enough in Kansas City.

Not every Hall of Fame toy comes from a store. Take the cardboard box, for instance. No company advertises it. Parents don’t line up for it during the holiday shopping season. No one sings its jingle. It costs nothing. Yet the cardboard box offers the imagination a feast. With crayons and tempera paint, you can turn the cardboard box into an ocean liner, a space ship, a dragster, a covered wagon, a submarine, or a castle.
The toy’s endorsers include such luminaries as Dr. Benjamin Spock and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Spock, the world’s most famous baby doctor, reminded parents that with a little imagination, a cardboard box could become a farm, a town, or a doll’s house. As a young girl, the future American Secretary of State decorated a cardboard box and made it the centerpiece of a fantasy kingdom that she built—mirrors stood in for lakes, twigs became trees. For her, as for millions of others, this toy is pure improv.
First you think outside the box and then you play in it. Kids have staged a zillion plays from cardboard boxes. They learn more from this scrap than they do from most other toys. And when the cardboard box is dog-eared and trampled, it will slide like a sled down dry grass on a steep slope. Who cares when it’s used up? You rescued the toy from the recycler in the first place. This disposable toy will be with us forever.

When you hear the word volunteer, who comes to mind?
Someone with boundless energy? A person with unflagging cheerfulness? An undeniable extrovert? The person with thousands of Facebook friends?
Do you fit that bill?
(We don’t, either.)
How about this, then: Mother. Daughter. Father. Son.
God worshipper. Jesus lover. Prayer warrior. Church member.
Listener. Teacher. Student. Employee. Friend.
We at Mission of Mercy like to add our own titles to the list: Servant. Advocate. Partner.
The Volunteer Network serves the children in our ministry by advocating for sponsorship and connecting like-hearted people with children who need sponsors.
We call them partners because they move where our reach is limited. In churches, in businesses, in homes around the country, volunteers simply share about the power of child sponsorship and how it can change a child’s life for eternity.
There are some requirements for joining the Volunteer Network. First, you must be a sponsor. We’ve found that someone with their own connection to a child in our program has a stronger understanding of Mission of Mercy’s ministry and the benefits a child receives when they are sponsored.
Members of the Volunteer Network have several opportunities to serve. For example, you can make presentations at your church, or speak at other churches, Sunday school classes, or small groups in your community.
And as always, you can move within your own sphere of influence with friends or coworkers. We will provide training, resources, and support so you will feel well-equipped to match potential sponsors with children in need of help.
If you are interested in joining the Volunteer Network, download the application and follow the instructions for submitting it. Help us find new sponsors for the children in our programs!
Tomorrow we’ll hear from some Volunteer Network members on what sponsorship means to them and why they decided to join this team!

Charges filed in horse abuse case as starving horses ready for adoption
Charges have been filed against the owners of the 11 horses seized Nov. 9 from a farmstead north of Perham.
Assistant County Attorney Heather Brandborg said owners Bruce and Allison Breun will appear in district court for an arraignment on Monday, Jan. 28.
Brandborg described the horse case as, "a lengthy complaint." Charges are complex, and relate to each of the 11 horses individually, she said.
Assisting with rescue of the horses, in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, was Charlotte Tuhy, who, along with Joel Hildebrandt, owns the Hightail Horse Ranch and Rescue near Hawley, Minn. Tuhy trains and heals rescued horses and ponies.
Otter Tail County Sheriff's Deputies had previously obtained a search warrant to gather evidence at the Perham farmstead.
Tuhy said that, unfortunately, it's become more commonplace to find horses in distress. Late this year, the Hightail ranch was near capacity. Horse owners this past summer, due to the drought, lost many acres of lush pasture. Hay prices doubled in many areas.
Eleven neglected horses rescued from a farmstead north of Perham about eight weeks ago are now being rehabbed, and most are ready to settle into new, permanent homes.
It hasn't exactly been an easy recovery for the animals.
Dehydrated and dangerously underweight, most were weak and unkempt. Some had parasites. One grey male, now called Zane, was so starved that he collapsed on four different occasions in the first eight days after his rescue. At times, the veterinarian in charge of his care was sure she'd have to euthanize him.
"The only reason she didn't was because he had a look in his eye that said, 'Not yet,'" said Charlotte Tuhy. "He was real iffy. He went down many times after being rescued, but he'd always get back up. On the eighth day, he started to turn the corner."
Tuhy is a co-owner of Hightail Horse Ranch and Rescue in Hawley, Minn., which is caring for all 11 horses until they can be fostered or adopted out to good homes. The ranch conducted the rescue in cooperation with the Otter Tail County Humane Society and Otter Tail County Sheriff's Department.
According to Hightail's website, www.hightailhorseranchand-rescue.com, the sheriff's department executed a seizure of the animals, and on Nov. 9, the ranch was called to come and get them. Within two hours, Hightail volunteers had mobilized, transporting the horses to the shelter on two different rigs.
Tuhy said the animals' owners contested the seizure, but after a hearing a judge sided with the sheriff's department and turned ownership of the horses over to the Hightail ranch. Before that decision was made, Tuhy said, ownership of the horses was "in limbo," and she was not allowed to try and find permanent homes for them.
But she can now. And in the meantime, Hightail was able to work its magic on them.
With the help of volunteers, a veterinarian, holistic and homeopathic remedies, trainers and even a professional animal communicator, Hightail nursed the horses back to health.
For Zane, who was in the worst shape of the 11, the healing process involved a special high-protein, low-carb diet of slow and small meals, lots of water, homeopathic medicines, and veterinary visits.
Every time Zane collapsed, Tuhy would send an alert to a "prayer chain" of people who would pray for his recovery. They kept rubber mats underneath the weak horse so he wouldn't be so badly injured when he fell, though there were still wounds to treat after every fall.
If those horses hadn't been rescued when they were, Zane probably wouldn't be alive today.
Instead, most of the 11 are fully recovered now, and "everybody's looking really fit," according to Tuhy. Even Zane, she said, is starting to build muscle, "and he doesn't stumble and fall anymore."
Most of the horses are ready to be adopted, though caregivers aren't sure yet what kind of training, if any, the different horses have had - some may be well trained, while others may be just "pasture pets," Tuhy explained.
In addition to the horses' newfound good health, they've also got new names. With the help of the animal communicator, who regularly travels from Fargo to visit Hightail, each horse was able to "choose" a new name for him or herself.
One of the mares, for example, worked with the animal communicator to pick her new name, Star. Star was the horse featured in a television news report after the rescue, Tuhy said. She was called a 'star' by volunteers after the report aired, so the new name fits.
Though the ranch hasn't had legal ownership of the horses for long, one person has already expressed an interest in adopting two of the animals. Nothing has been made official on that yet, though, and more good homes are needed.
Hightail is also accepting donations to cover the cost of hay, feed, bedding, medicine and other needs. The ranch is always looking for good volunteers to help feed, train and otherwise care for the animals.
Hightail takes in animals from all over the region, state and beyond. The ranch works with animal rescue groups and often takes in strays. There are currently several horses ready for adoption at Hightail, in addition to those obtained in the Perham rescue.
Too often, Tuhy said, she sees people abandon their animals for reasons that could have been easily avoided or for problems that could have been easily solved.
"When you have a problem, there's always a solution," she said. "So many times people give up, when it might be something simple... There are so many reasons why horses act out to tell you they're uncomfortable...but people will think they have a bad horse and unload it."
Still, she added, surrendering a horse to a shelter is always better than abandonment.

The Littlest Girl is right there on the cusp of her first intentional smile. I know it. I can tell. But she’s just not quite there. I’m not saying it’s a race between me and The Wife to be the first one to get it, but I’m also not saying I wouldn’t love to make her smile. She is exactly two months old today, and is a sweetheart.
- The qualifying offer deadline stuff has now passed, but more deadlines loom. If you never checked out the offseason road map of dates and deadlines and explanations (or if you did and you’ve since forgotten what’s coming), give it a look this morning to catch up. There’s a big deadline coming this Friday regarding the Cubs’ 40-man roster and protecting prospects from the Rule 5 Draft.
- Ken Rosenthal has an awesome read on Mike Montgomery, his appearance in Game Seven, and his reaction to getting the final out of the World Series. Among the bits, Montgomery was so unsure of what to do after that final out that, because he hadn’t gone to grab catcher Miguel Montero, he later sought out Montero on the plane to make sure he hadn’t breached some rules of etiquette. Montgomery also talks about his mixed feelings on being traded to the Cubs in the first place. Great read.
- Manager of the Year awards are handed out tonight, with Joe Maddon one of the finalists in the National League. Most folks expect, though, that Dave Roberts will get the nod for what he did with an injury-ravaged Dodgers club. Yes, they had the huge payroll, but how they stayed competitive despite basically everyone being hurt all the time, especially on the pitching side, is really impressive.
- Matt Trueblood writes about ‘Go Cubs Go’ and the man behind the song.
- As the Tribune notes, Iowa Cubs hitting coach Brian Harper has departed in favor of the Tigers organization.
- Wayne Epps looks at the best seasons ever that did not result in an MVP award. The impetus, obviously, is the concern that Mike Trout will once again not win the MVP later this week, for reasons that are … not convincing. Sammy Sosa’s 2001 season shows up 10th on the list, as you may recall that he was ridiculous that year, but it was also the season that Barry Bonds hit 73.
- Check in on the Chris Sale rumors that seem to have blown up in the past 24 hours, if you missed it.
- A fun note on Yoenis Cespedes’s trade history:
Yoenis Cespedes has been traded for the 2016 AL Rookie of the Year, and potentially the 2016 AL Cy Young & 2016 NL Cy Young Award winners pic.twitter.com/fbjfnkoAzt
— Christopher Kamka (@ckamka) November 14, 2016
- MLB is experimenting with new baseballs in the Arizona Fall League, which is often a testing ground for possible game changes. Though the balls are purportedly different only in their tackiness, it is an interesting thing, given the theory out there that some of the dramatic spike in homers this year could be tied to the baseball.
- This may have been lost in the playoff shuffle to you, but it’s insane and hilarious, so you’ll forgive me if you’ve already seen it: a Japanese player tried to hit VERY fast pitches off of a machine, up to 186(!) miles per hour. Yes, the results are just silly.
- The Wife surprised me and the kiddos with a Cubs championship activity book from Amazon, and it was especially fun to watch The Little Girl trying to spell out the name of her favorite player, Addison Russell. You totally would have been able to tell that’s who she was writing. (She must like critical homers and incredible catches. Smart girl.)
- If you’re into the Aliens franchise, every movie in that family (including ‘Prometheus,’ which I thought was awesome, come at me, bro) is in a cheap bundle at Amazon today ($34.99 on Blu-ray, $27.99 on DVD).

A while back, I was on call on a Saturday night when we got a notification of an incoming trauma, an intoxicated 40-year-old man who had fallen off a barstool and had a scalp laceration. He had a brief loss of consciousness, but it occurred before he hit his head—it seems he passed out, which is why he fell. My first thought was, why is this a trauma?
The patient arrived a few minutes later, awake but clearly intoxicated and a bit belligerent. The medic presented the case: the man had staggered into the bar about an hour earlier and had taken a seat on one of the stools. He ordered a beer, but the bartender refused to serve him. He started to stand up, but then passed out and hit his head on the edge of the bar.
I restrained myself from asking what ‘life or limb threatening injury’ the patient had that made him a trauma and thanked the medic.
I introduced myself to the patient. His speech was slurred and his breath was strong enough to get you high if you stood too close to him. He smelled of other things as well, so I didn’t want to do that.
His pupils were equal in size; there was no deviation in his gaze and no blood in his ears. He was speaking spontaneously and followed simple commands. He moved all of his extremities. I doubted he had a brain injury and assumed that he was just drunk, and the obvious bleeding from his head injury had fooled the medics into thinking the injury was more serious than it actually was.
I began to unwrap the dressing to look at the wound and assess the bleeding. Then the nurse called out his blood pressure. It was very low, only about 80 systolic.
“It ain’t what you don’t know that can hurt you, it’s what you know that just ain’t so.” – Mark Twain
I got the wrap off and found a three-inch laceration in his forehead that was bleeding briskly. Pressure on the wound controlled the bleeding, and I called for some local anesthetic and sutures. A few sutures controlled the small scalp artery and stopped the bleeding. The blood pressure stayed low.
There’s an adage in trauma surgery that isolated head injury does not cause hypotension. I went through my primary survey, but the patient was so drunk that he barely responded, even to deep pain. Still, I didn’t see any obvious injury or anything from the mechanism of injury that would explain his persistent low blood pressure.
Could he have bled so much from the scalp laceration that he was in shock?
I doubted it. The bleeding had been brisk, but not that significant.
His pressure dropped even lower—into the low 70’s systolic. I was puzzled but had to do something. I gave him an initial bolus of crystalloid followed by a unit of PRBC’s and one of FFP. I ordered a CT of his head and c-spine. Then a thought occurring to me: The second half of that surgical adage— ‘Isolated head injury does not cause hypotension. The hypotensive patient is bleeding into his belly until proven otherwise.’ I ordered a CT of his abdomen and pelvis as well.
The packed cells and plasma helped. His pressure was up into the low 100’s. He went off to the CT and a few minutes later, I knew why he was hypotensive. The CT of his abdomen showed a Grade 4 splenic injury.
The spleen lives in the left upper abdomen. It’s about as tough as a ripe tomato with a capsule that is like the tomato skin and a center that is pulpy and full of blood. Injuries to the spleen are graded 1 through 5 based on the amount of disruption that has occurred. Grade 1 amounts to a bruise, Grade 2 may bleed into the splenic substance but not outside of the capsule, Grade 3 breaks the capsule and bleeds into the abdomen. Grade 4 and 5 refer to differing degrees of catastrophic destruction of the spleen. This guy wasn’t hypotensive from his head injury, but he was bleeding into his belly.
Many lower grade splenic injuries can be managed without surgery, provided the patient remains stable. A high-grade injury, especially in an unstable patient, means a trip to the operating room.
We took him to the operating room directly from the CT scanner, and I took out a spleen that was broken into four pieces and evacuated almost a liter of blood from his abdomen. Two more units of blood and another liter of saline later, he was stable and on his way to the ICU. I’d lost valuable time barking up the wrong tree and ignoring the second half of that old adage. I didn’t see the clues to his abdominal bleeding because I thought I knew how he’d been injured.
It was another week before I pieced together what had happened. The patient remembered nothing about the night he came in and was no help. A fall from a barstool shouldn’t cause the degree of damage he had in his spleen. But 3 days after he was admitted, the cops fished a Smart Car out of the East Mesa Canal, about a quarter mile from the bar where my patient had passed out. It took a couple of more days to confirm that it was his car. He had been drunk long before he drove it off the road and into the canal. He’d injured his spleen in the crash but had been able to crawl out and climb the bank, then walk to the bar before his blood pressure dropped enough to make him pass out. The puzzling thing was: why hadn’t he been soaking wet?
Salt River Project, the company that operated the canal answered that at the end of the week. The canal had been drained for maintenance that day. It had been refilled about three hours after the crash, completely covering the little Smart Car.
To paraphrase Mark Twain: It ain’t what you know that trips you up, it’s what you think you know that just ain’t so.

One local animal hospital performed southeast Idaho's first stem cell procedure Monday.
For the first time, the Alpine Animal Hospital in Chubbuck helped two animals ease their arthritis pain using a procedure that takes stem cells from the animals' own fat tissue.
Karen Vargas noticed her 9-year old dog, Sadie, growing older and more effected by arthritis in her joints.
“She has arthritis in her front paws and her front legs and so I thought this is a wonderful time to have it done,” Vargas said. “So I called and I said, 'Hey, let me have the first dog being done here in Pocatello,' and I was so excited.”
Sadie is a therapy dog who has helped comfort people since the new Portneuf Medical Center was built two years ago. Since then, Sadie would tote around a backpack full of chocolate to cheer-up those around her.
But now, Sadie herself is going under the knife herself.
“It's pretty exciting for us here at the Alpine Animal Hospital to be groundbreaking and heading in this direction with stem cells,” veterinarian Dr. Steven Haymore said. “I think it's going to be something we see in the future for veterinary medicine pretty routinely, if not in human medicine.”
Once the fat tissue from Sadie's abdomen had been harvested, it was placed in test tubes. Once in the lab, the test tubes were mixed with various solutions and spun into a liquid before being digested down a centrifuge that separates the fat cells from the clean, stem cells.
Haymore said fat tissues are used in this process because, although there are stem cells located throughout the whole body, there are greater concentrations of them in the fat itself. As a matter of fact, in one test tube alone, there are up to billions of stem cells ready to be processed and injected back into the body.
A stem cell is any undifferentiated cell, meaning it is a young cell that does not know what tissue it is going to become. Therefore, once the stem cells are ready to be injected back into the body, they can easily take the identity of the cells surrounding it.
In Sadie's case, the cells will be placed in the centrifuge a total of four times and reduced back down to a concentrated set of pink cells, in a clear, heterogeneous separation from the yellow fat tissue which will act as anti-inflammatory cells to help ease the pain of her arthritis.
Veterinarians said, depending on the animal, the healing process can take anywhere between three days to three weeks before the animal will start to feel a difference.
Haymore also said that although the entire ordeal can cost anywhere around $1,500 per animal, he believes it will save the owners more money and bring down hospital expenses in the long run.

WASHINGTON — For Republicans, there’s something about former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that makes her an inspirational choice to be Mitt Romney’s running mate – or an unmitigated disaster.
Republican thinkers from Weekly Standard editor William Kristol to former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan have swooned about the prospects of a Romney-Rice 2012 ticket. And Rice apparently wowed Romney and his brain trust when she spoke at a campaign retreat in Park City, Utah.
“She’s qualified,” Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who’s also rumored to be in the Romney VP mix, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “She’s excellent.”
Other conservatives think otherwise. From the moment Rice’s name surfaced as a potential vice presidential pick, they’ve howled about her support for legalized abortion and argued that she’s too moderate on other domestic issues to share the same ticket with someone whose conservative credentials have also been questioned.
“Choosing Condoleezza Rice would inject tremendous excitement into the campaign and remove all suspense from the outcome,” conservative pundit George Will said Sunday on “This Week.” “You would have such an uproarious convention in Tampa, you’d have perhaps a third party, you’d have a challenge to her on the floor, you’d have walkouts of delegation, and he’d (Romney) lose 40 states.”
Still, Rice detractors and supporters agree that she’s an intriguing figure in the vice presidential debate, even though she’s repeatedly said that she’s not interested in the job.
“It would be a gamble for Mr. Romney, but it would be an interesting one,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Polling Institute. “Her gender is critical. The fact that she’s African-American might not get Romney more black votes, but it might help with moderate whites.”
On the plus side, Rice is a compelling story: a preacher’s daughter and a child of the segregated South who overcame and went on to become an accomplished pianist and ice skater; a Stanford University provost; national security adviser under President George W. Bush, and later the first African-American female secretary of state
But Rice would also bring considerable baggage that could turn off conservative as well as moderate voters, Brown and others say. She’s closely aligned with Bush, whose name is still political kryptonite to many Republican and Democratic voters.
She was part of the neo-conservative core within the Bush administration that pushed for the Iraq war to rid Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction that were never found. "We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud," she warned in 2002 during the march to war. In a hypothetical fall debate, Vice President Joe Biden likely couldn’t challenge her on Iraq; as a senator and one of his party’s top voices on foreign policy, he also supported the Iraq war. But others could and would remind the country of her role.
“Any throwback to the Bush years leads to re-litigation of the Bush years and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which probably would not be helpful,” said Steve Duprey, a New Hampshire Republican Party official who was a traveling confidant of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., during his 2008 presidential campaign. “Secretary Rice has never participated in partisan politics; she has zero political experience in that. I think it would be even more severe for her than what Gov. Sarah Palin went through.”
In addition, Rice unabashedly supports affirmative action.
A Rasmussen Poll in February found that 55 percent of Americans opposed affirmative action, while 24 percent supported it and 21 percent were undecided.
While she was in the White House, the Bush administration led a Supreme Court brief opposing a University of Michigan admissions program that used race as a considering factor. Rice, who was then national security adviser, took the extraordinary step of issuing a carefully worded statement saying that she disagreed with Bush’s opposition to the Michigan policy.
“It is appropriate to use race as one factor among others in achieving a diverse student body,” she said in the statement, which added that “race neutral means are preferable.”
Rice’s downsides make it unlikely that she will be Romney’s choice, several political analysts believe.
“Condi Rice is a political rock star,” said Joel Goldstein, a professor at the St. Louis University School of Law and an expert on the vice presidency. “But the ideological clash with the party base is a deal breaker.”

The Secret Hour has a very imaginative paranormal premise, and it was enjoyable to read; I finished this book for reluctant readers in two sittings. I love the idea of a hidden hour after midnight where only a select few can visit, and the continuing threads of mystery and “what’s going on?” kept me reading this urban fantasy. The characters are not all best buddies, but are unique individuals with their own motivations which are shown in the fast pace.
The premise is original and interesting with a compelling writing style. It is definitely written with a young adult audience

How to Find an Emergency Plumber
Emergency Plumbers Tampa can help you with a number of plumbing emergencies, from a leaking water heater to a broken faucet. It is important to have the contact information for an emergency plumber handy. This way, you can call them as soon as the problem occurs. These plumbers will come out to your home within an hour or less.
It’s frustrating when a plumbing emergency strikes. Luckily, there are a number of ways to find a local emergency plumber. The first step is to determine what the problem is. It can be a water leak, burst pipe, or any number of other things. An emergency plumber can handle any of these problems in a timely manner and ensure that your home stays dry and protected from further damage.
Another way to find out if you need an emergency plumber is to research plumbing companies. Having a list of emergency plumbers in your area is essential. However, even if you think you are an expert at plumbing, you should still be careful. Emergency plumbers can come out whenever they are needed, so it is important to find one with the right experience and knowledge to handle the problem.
Another way to find a plumber is to call a 24-hour plumbing service. A plumber can be called for a wide variety of plumbing needs, from broken pipes to leaking water heaters. While there are many plumbing professionals, you should always contact an emergency plumber when you’re not able to tackle the problem yourself.
Plumbing problems can occur at any time. When water starts pouring from the ceiling and floods your home, you know you’re in the middle of a plumbing emergency. However, an emergency plumber might not be required if the plumbing problem can wait for a few hours. If the plumbing problem can wait until morning, it’s best to wait until the plumbing services open for business.
Another plumbing emergency you might need to call an emergency plumber for is a sewage backup. This is not only inconvenient but can also be harmful to your health. If sewage backs up, the water in your drain can contaminate the air. This can lead to a dangerous situation for your home and must be handled immediately.
Another common plumbing emergency is a clogged drain. This can prevent water from flowing properly and can prevent you from performing other daily activities. A clogged toilet can also cause a lot of damage to flooring if not fixed immediately. Plumbing emergencies are often expensive. A professional can solve this emergency quickly.
A plumber can solve many problems around the home, including clogged toilets and burst pipes. When water leaks, homeowners must locate the main shutoff valve to stop the water flow and prevent flooding. Once the main shutoff valve is closed, the plumber can determine the source of the leak and repair or replace the pipe.
Emergency plumbers offer many services, including drain cleaning, pressurized water jetting, main sewer line rodding, and sump pump replacement. In some cases, the costs of emergency plumbing are covered by homeowners’ insurance, but homeowners should check their deductibles before hiring an emergency plumber. In addition, many homeowners do not have the means to pay for emergency plumbing services if they have a high deductible.
The costs of hiring an emergency plumber can vary greatly depending on the time of day and location. Some emergency plumbers charge a flat rate of $100 or more, and others charge by the hour. Emergency plumbers can run up to $125 an hour, but their costs are much less than the cost of repairing damage caused by water.
The cost of emergency plumbing services can vary widely depending on the size and complexity of the problem. Emergency plumbers can provide quality service for a low cost. However, they may charge higher rates if the problem requires new installations or after-hours plumbing. Therefore, hiring an emergency plumber is a good choice when you need a plumber urgently.
Before hiring an emergency plumber, make sure he is licensed. Plumbing is a highly technical job, and it’s essential that you trust a professional. You want someone who knows what he’s doing and who can communicate effectively with you. Also, make sure your emergency plumber is insured.
Emergency plumbers charge a call-out fee, which covers their travel time and other expenses. Most call-out fees range from $50 to $150, with an average of $85 being charged. This rate is doubled for a weekend or holiday calls. During emergencies, emergency plumbers will charge a 50% to 100% higher rate per hour.

Girls have called for more education about sex in schools
The anchor’s two teenage children reportedly said they wanted to live with their mother full-time
Lesbian teens in the US have more - and riskier - sex than their peers
There may be a silver-lining to all that misbehaviour
Teenagers to receive 'bedroom hygiene' lessons as part of nationwide study
Evidence suggests teens exposed to depictions of alcohol and tobacco are more likely to start drinking or smoking
Analysts say smoking and drinking are increasingly seen as socially unacceptable among younger teenagers
'I’ve always liked women, and loved women, even as a female, because I’ve always deep down known that I was a straight male'
Two of the main triggers for self-destructive behaviour involve a desire to feel something, and to in some way brand the skin. Temporary tattoos actually have the capacity to solve both of these issues – the sensory experience of using cold water to transfer the tattoo to yourself, and the visual experience of having a tangible, but ultimately harmless, mark on your skin
The incident was filmed by the teenager's friend
Have I seen him around somewhere?
Oh no, The Wurzels are back!
Ski jumping? Sounds like a recipe for disaster…

Once more Sam Raimi's directing Stan Lee's and Steve Ditko's comic-book creation, and you can almost feel the fatigue; his weariness is as contagious as a yawn. Whatever its precursors had going for them—heart, mostly, an organ almost as seldom used as the brain in comic book movies—Spider-Man 3 isn't even terribly interested in the title character anymore. This is fine, to a point; after all, what made Spider-Man such an intriguing departure from its spandex-clad predecessors was that it was as much about Peter Parker's angst and affections as about the powers afforded him by a radioactive spider bite. As in the earliest comics, Spider-Man was nothing more than Spider-Boy, a guilt-wracked and love-struck high-school senior who found joy only when swinging among Manhattan skyscrapers.
But somewhere between that first joyous woo-hoo and this movie, Raimi and the revolving door of writers—David Koepp gave way to Alvin Sargent, who's now joined by Sam and brother Ivan—became too enamored of making Spider-Man movies in which the hero is but a bit player. We don't even see much of the costumed character till late into the first act here; indeed, his very first fight amidst the NYC skyline and its alleyways takes place out of costume, when Peter's snatched off his scooter by one of the movie's trio of villains—in this case, Harry "Goblin Jr." Osborn (James Franco), who's still out to avenge the death of his daddy (Willem Dafoe) till a bump on the head makes him forget that he wants to kill his bestest friend in the whole wide world.
What's worse, the franchise's earnestness, its calling card, now feels forced—stunted even. The relationship between Peter (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) has ground to a standstill; that passionate upside-down, rain-soaked kiss from the first film feels like a thousand movies ago. They're no further along now than they were the first go-round, when the dorky science student was wooing his longtime, next-door infatuation. They're in love but not exactly lovers—not people who've almost died for each other time and time again—and all they do is whine and moan at each other, to the point where Peter's driven to date lab partner Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard). Gwen seems an infinitely better catch than the perpetually shrill and inexplicably selfish MJ, whose Broadway career takes a nosedive after it's revealed that, you know, she's actually a lousy singer.
It all just feels so... Fantastic Four, so dopey and forgettable and crafted out of second-rate cheese. The interesting villains (Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, decent but ultimately tortured souls corrupted by insatiable greed and arrogance) have been replaced by computer-generated leftovers, chief among them Thomas Haden Church's Flint Marko, a felon whose shape is shifted by an atom-scrambler that renders him the Sandman. Dafoe and Alfred Molina were Wagnerian villains who pummeled Spider-Man with great cruelty and glee. More important, they were always onscreen, there in the flesh to break a few bones. Church is often nothing more than a computer-generated dust cloud or a skyscraper-sized ball of mud—a special effect that's none too special.
And then there is Venom, the alien entity who initially takes over Peter Parker before leaping, like a squid made of tar, onto the waiting flesh of Eddie Brock (a wasted Topher Grace), Peter's photojournalist rival at The Daily Bugle. A notable Spider-Man foe for years in the comics, Venom doesn't make a terribly good cinematic villain, chiefly because we don't know squat about who or what he or it is, aside from a "symbiont" that amplifies Peter's worst instincts and turns him from a nebbish into an asshole in a silly and wholly inappropriate song-and-dance number straight out of Staying Alive. And Venom, like every other character fighting for face time in an overplotted picture, is barely in the film, here only so he and Sandman can face off with the li'l Goblin and Spidey in a finale so slapdash and inane it wouldn't even pass muster in a comic book (something to do with a taxicab, a dump truck and Mary Jane suspended in a web over Manhattan). Cobweb-slinger is more like it.

Founder Chris Wilcox celebrates 40 years with Scotia Festival of Music before retiring
It’s 237 steps from Chris Wilcox’s apartment (bursting with art, quirky collectibles, and a playful white cat) to the Peggy Corkum Music Room on Lady Hammond Road.
The building, renowned for its excellent acoustics and Steinway grand piano, is a second home for the man behind Scotia Festival of Music, which celebrates its 40th anniversary season from May 27 to June 9.
This is Wilcox’s last year as managing and artistic director of the two-week chamber-music festival he started with his one-time teacher Robert Marcellus (principal clarinet of the Cleveland Orchestra) as artistic director.
But he won’t step away completely. “Chris is what makes Scotia Festival so special. He has a sixth sense for bringing people together in an interesting way, finding the right piece and the right people to play it,” says Simon Docking, who is taking over as artistic director, calling the transition a “deliberate cross fade.”
There’s a sense of community at Scotia Festival, with its unique mix of professionals and young artists who come together for two weeks of coaching, daily concerts, and fun, says two-time Grammy winning violinist James Ehnes.
“Chris has a real knack for finding personalities that buy into the program,” he explains. “When chamber-music players invest in one another, the total is greater than the sum of its parts.”
Ehnes, who performed at the festival in 2016 and was artist-in-residence in 2017, says Wilcox lives by his own rules: “When he gets an idea, he spreads his enthusiasm for that idea. He never questions can we do it, he just says ‘I’ll figure it out.’ It’s such a great quality in a presenter.”
A Manitoban now living in Florida, Ehnes enthuses about how Wilcox makes everyone feel special and so much part of the family in such a short time.
Over the years, that family has included soprano Maureen Forrester, composer Philip Glass (in 1999 and 2018), violinist Yehudi Menuhin, violist Walter Trampler, pianists John Browning and Marc-Andre Hamelin and French Horn virtuoso Philip Myers, who will be part of the 2019 festival, among other celebrated musicians.
Acclaimed composer and conductor Pierre Boulez stands out among the festival’s star-studded performers for Wilcox. He brought “the biggest name in classical music in the second half of the 20th century,” from Paris to Halifax in 1991, along with Boulez’s 36-member Ensemble Intercontemporain, “the finest contemporary-music ensemble in the world,” on its first Canadian tour.
Wilcox describes himself as “beer-drinking second clarinet player,” so their relationship seems unlikely. He began writing to Boulez in the mid-1980s and forged a strong connection with the man he says “changed music history as a composer.”
Boulez’s description of Scotia Festival as being “like a living thing,” is a quote Wilcox treasures, as he does the memory of Boulez attending every student concert and helping set up chairs for rehearsals.
Born in Winnipeg, Wilcox is the son of Eldon Wilcox, a CBC Radio announcer, and Leone, “a farm girl who was in love with music.” “Without her, Scotia Festival wouldn’t be here,” Wilcox says, noting his mother came to Halifax to be with him and became personnel supervisor at the Atlantic Symphony. “We started Scotia Festival in her kitchen.”
Growing up, Wilcox was an Elvis Presley fan who loved Dixieland Jazz and collected Louis Armstrong records.
A keen athlete, he opted not to take up Michigan State’s invitation to play varsity basketball because he discovered the school had a very different approach to the game.
“It felt like a stampede of cattle.”
He started playing clarinet at 18 and two years later was studying in Cleveland with Marcellus, widely considered to be the most influential clarinet teacher of the last half of the 20th century.
Wilcox landed a gig with the Expo ’67 band in Montreal. He then moved to Nova Scotia to play with the Halifax Symphony, which became the Atlantic Symphony.
Marcellus, in Halifax to take part in Wilcox’s Scotia Chamber Players series, suggested launching a chamber-music festival strongly based on education as well as performance.
The first festival in 1980, featuring cellist Lynn Harrell and pianist Browning in Rachmaninoff’s Cello Sonata, stunned the audience. Marcellus was in tears, asking “What have we done?” another of Wilcox’s favourite quotes.
Docking says access to the festival’s 50 annual shows is what makes it special.
“It’s very Nova Scotian,” says the Australian who moved to Halifax in 2001 with his wife, Jennifer Bain, a musicology professor at Dalhousie University. “If you meet people in the lobby, you talk to them. Audience members talk to the performers. Young artists are billeted. There’s a wonderful, informal collegial community, which doesn’t happen many places.”
The Young Artist Program is another special thing about Scotia Festival, says Docking. “Forty to 50 fantastic young musicians have access to these fabulous performers in coaching and master classes and the performers thrive on it, forming relationships that last years.”
Ehnes agrees, noting he has kept in touch with the young people he met.
Docking is an active solo and chamber musician who plays keyboards with Symphony Nova Scotia. He performed at the opening concert of the Music Room in 2002 and has been involved with both Scotia Festival and the Music Room Chamber Players series for many years, programming 80% of this year’s Chamber Players concerts.
Wilcox started hinting Docking take over the festival about eight years ago.
“It was important to Chris to have someone who knows the Halifax music scene. I’m a come from away, but I’ve been here long enough to know the music scene and what a miracle something like this is. I’ll do my best to see that the festival he built, which is so precious and so wonderful, flourishes,” says Docking.
Ehnes believes Docking is the perfect person to take over “an organization I care very much about. It will be in great hands.”
Wilcox officially retires on July 31 and says he’ll be busy playing squash and bridge, and doing some writing, possibly a memoir.
And regularly walking those 237 steps to the Music Room.

Frosty the Snowman appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this Blu-ray Disc. Nothing about the visuals excelled, but they seemed satisfactory given the show’s age and origins.
Sharpness mostly fared well. A little softness interfered at times, but not much. Instead, the program usually came across as acceptably concise and well-defined within the crude parameters of the original art. Jagged edges and shimmering failed to interfere, and I saw no edge haloes. Source flaws seemed absent. Outside of a little sloppy clean-up work, the project looked to be free from defects.
Colors didn’t dazzle, but they consistently looked respectable. The tones were basic but fairly bright and clear. Blacks were also more than satisfying, with dark and deep elements, and the occasional low-light shot was appropriately defined. The nature of the source meant it lacked much pep, but the end result seemed pretty positive.
To my surprise, the Blu-ray boasted a remixed DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack. To be honest, this seemed like an odd choice for a 46-year-old TV cartoon with monaural roots, but the 5.1 mix worked okay.
The soundscape remained modest in scope. Music showed decent spread across the front; I wouldn’t call it true stereo, but the score and songs blended well enough. Effects failed to add much; a few minor components like wind appeared to move across the front, but these elements essentially remained monaural.
Surround usage was negligible. I think the back speakers added mild reinforcement of music – maybe. Any material from the rear failed to make an impact; if the track used those channels, I couldn’t discern any obvious presence from them.
Speech lacked much naturalness, but the lines were acceptably concise and distinctive, and I noticed no edginess or other problems. Effects sounded clean and accurate, though they also lacked range. The score failed to deliver much in the way of dynamics, but I still thought the music was adequate for an older show. I remain perplexed at the decision to create a 5.1 remix for Frosty, but the end result worked fine.
How does the Blu-ray compare to the prior DVD? Audio seemed a bit warmer and clearer, and the Blu-ray also gave us a 5.1 track instead of the DVD’s monaural. I prefer original mixes, but since the 5.1 track offered clearer audio and didn’t do much to violate the single-channel soundscape, I felt happy with it.
As for visuals, the Blu-ray offered mild improvements over the DVD. The Blu-ray seemed a bit better defined and more vivid. It also looked cleaner. The limitations of the source held back the Blu-ray, but it gave us the more satisfying Frosty.
When we shift to extras, the most substantial component presents 1992’s Frosty Returns special. It lasts 23 minutes, eight seconds as it tells the tale of unhappy Holly DeCarlo (Elizabeth Moss) and her friendship with Frosty (John Goodman).
The original special boasted a true sequel via 1976’s Frosty’s Winter Wonderland; Vernon reprised his title role there, and he’d also play Frosty once more with 1979’s AniMagic Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July.
However, Returns doesn’t enjoy much of a connection to the 1969 show. Really, it’s closer to a Charlie Brown special, probably because director Bill Melendez helmed many examples of that franchise.
Surprisingly, Returns might be superior to the original. It shows more of a hipster attitude, with a form of humor that doesn’t appear in the original, and it offers a fairly similar plot.
What makes it better? The characters are better drawn and more likable, as sad, friendless Holly presents a substantially more endearing role than the smug Karen. John Goodman’s Frosty isn’t quite as good as Vernon’s, but he adds his own spark to the part. Add to that solid support from performers like Andrea Martin and Jan Hooks and Returns presents a surprisingly entertaining show.
Be An Artist and Create splits into three areas: “Frosty” (8:16), “Santa Claus’ (10:47) and “Crafts with Frosty” (6:51). In the first two, DreamWorks Animation Director of Character Art Joe Vance teaches us how to draw the 1969 Frosty and the Santa from 1970’s Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town. For the final segment, Vance’s wife Joanie joins him to show how to make various arts and crafts. All three offer some fun material.
Under Magical Melody, we see a one-minute, 53-second singalong. Various tone-deaf children sing “Frosty” and invite us to croon with them. Have a blast!
Finally, Frosty Snowflake Surprises runs 19 minutes, 30 seconds. It mixes comments from kids about Frosty and related elements as well as production notes, connected factoids, and Frosty pencil tests. I could live without the Art Linkletter-style chats with the kids, but the rest of “Surprises” manages to offer decent details.
Frosty the Snowman endures as one of the more popular Christmas specials, but it’s not one of the best. It moves briskly and has some good moments. However, it suffers from a number of flaws that make it only moderately above average. The Blu-ray provides mostly positive picture and audio plus a few useful supplements. Frosty remains a spotty holiday show.
Note that you can find Frosty on Blu-ray in a couple of releases. The one I reviewed comes from a package called The Original Television Christmas Classics Anniversary Collector’s Edition. That box packages Frosty/Frosty Returns with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, The Little Drummer Boy, The Cricket on the Hearth, and Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol. With a list price under $30, it’s a good deal.

2019 Pretoria Monitoring & Survey Project
August 1 - 5, 2019
The Crew of the 2019 Pretoria Monitoring & Survey Project
(L to R: Phil Kerber, Jack Decker, Jim Chistenson, Mike Mack, Tim Pranke)
The Pretoria Donkey Boiler is Still Secure
Used as our mooring line for the Project
Click here for more photos of the Project
August 1 - 5, 2019
Our plans this year were to search for any other pieces of the wreck that weren’t discovered, using our new sonar. Then, dive to monitor how the boiler securement chains and mounts were holding up and to begin documenting the undocumented section of port side hull next to the boiler. We wanted to do the sonar work at the beginning of the Project to allow time to dive on any prospective sonar ”hits.” We knew from our work here in previous years that approximately 100 feet of port side hull is still unaccounted for.
The 2019 Pretoria Project crew included Co-Leader Tim Pranke, Phil Kerber, Jim Christenson, Mike Mack, and Jack Decker. The proper permits for diving on this historic wreck had been procured through the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) back in March. Tim filed the Float Plan with Silver Bay Marina just prior to departure.
We left Silver Bay Marina, the morning of August 1, on an Easterly heading to Outer Island, a six-hour trip. The Pretoria lies about a mile and a half north of Outer Island and just outside of the Apostle Islands National Lake shore boundary (hence the permit from the WHS.) Discussion among the crew was on the possibility of finding missing sections of the wreck and parts of the wreck. Last year’s discovery of the power steering mechanism was quite a thrill.
As we arrived at the wreck site, the waves were a bit too high for effective sonar work. So, we dove on the boiler and the small undocumented hull section next to it. The boiler was still attached to the bottom. The chains were as tight as when we put them on, 2 summers ago.
As we headed to our dock for the night, Tim flipped on the sonar just to see what could be seen. About 1000 ft. from the main wreck, some straight lines appeared on the sonar screen, indicating a large section of possible wreckage! Our plans for the next day changed immediately!
Tim was the first one down to see this section of the wreck in the 114 years since it went down. As we each took our turns diving on this section, we were all amazed at the size of this section. As a bonus, the rudder was laying on top of this section.
We spent the next several dives measuring and preliminary documenting this lost section. The overall length of this section is 102 feet. The rudder measured out at just over 32 feet long; standing it upright, it would be about as tall as a three story building! Tim has been learning photogrammetry and has some great images of this section.
We spent time on the boiler and section by the boiler, documenting that section and measuring back to known points on the already documented main wreck. This is to triangulate the location of the section by the boiler to the main wreck.
The final day, Monday, August 5, we left Outer Island and the Pretoria for home. We decided to swing by and dive the wreck of the Sevona. An interesting dive since the Sevona went down in the same storm as the Pretoria and had last docked at the same last dock as the Pretoria. On the way to the Sevona, a passing thunderstorm caused us to pull into a cove on the south side of Bear Island to wait for the storm to pass. We saw some spectacular lightning strikes and heard some close-by thunder. After the storm passed, we continued to the Sevona. The current was flowing, and we got one dive in.
In all, we performed 35 dives for a total of over 34 hours of dive time on the Pretoria. The weather was terrific, so we were able to stay every night at Outer Island Lighthouse. The boiler remains secured. The steering mechanism is still impressive. More pieces of the puzzle have been found and wait for complete documentation. Though we have yet to see the resident bear(s) on Outer Island, the week after we left, the island was closed to campers due to bear activity.

(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Subconscious” by The Score plays all throughout the arena as the Referee hands Dynamite Rain the Unified Tag Team Championships)
Announcer: The Winners of this contest by pinfall and NNNNNEEEEEEWWWWWW E-A-W UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…. DYNAMITE RAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!
Masters: What a match! What a way to start off the night! These two teams just brought the heat and though the Lyndivias put up one HELL of a fight tonight, it was Dynamite Rain who were the ones that sealed the deal and captured the Unified Tag Team Championships for a second time here tonight!
Mak: Bullshit! Neither of these guys have the balls that the Lyndivias do! They should have been walking away with their tails firmly tucked between their legs instead of the Tag Team Championships just like we saw at No Regards! The Lyndivias should have won this, damn it!
Masters: Well they certainly put up a valiant effort for the Belts. Dynamite Rain were able to get the win and go down in history as only the SECOND team to ever win the Unified Tag Team Championships together twice! Congratulations to Dynamite Rain!
(Camera cuts to Mr. DEDEDE, having just arrived at the arena as he makes his way down a hallway and to his locker room)
DDD: What in the Hell…
(DEDEDE stops as he runs into a depressed Tomi Venus staring at a wall; dressed as Uncle Sam and holding a microphone in his hand)
DDD: You alive?
DDD: Well, uh, that costume suits you…. You.
(Tomi sighs and rolls his eyes)
DDD: Right, right… I knew that. Wait, Tomi Venus? I had no idea you were still hired here! You’re STILL under contract?
DDD: Well, at least you’re still getting paid though.
Tomi: They reduced my paychecks to the equivalent of a slow kid working for minimum wage at McDonalds…
DDD: Oh… Well, you’ve still got your family.
Tomi: Divorced after I tried to quit. She even got full custody of the kids…
Tomi: Ran away…
(DDD stands in silence, looking uncomfortable for several seconds as Tomi sighs again)
DDD: I see…
Tomi: Just go.
DDD: Yeah, I’m gonna go. But hey, chin up. Flashback’s been an Interviewer for YEARS now and he’s become essential to EAW.
(DDD walks away to his locker room as Tomi looks over to see Flashback in American-themed drag, singing into a mirror)
Flashback: I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and gaaayyyyyyyy–
(Flashback looks over to Tomi)
Flashback: UGH. In your dreams, loser!
(Flashback flips his hair and storms off as a depressed Tomi goes back to staring at a wall)
(Camera cuts backstage to Hades The Hellraiser, Nick Angel, and Venom preparing for their match later on tonight in their locker room)
Venom: I’m gonna take great satisfaction in putting the final nail in that old man’s coffin. He doesn’t know who the Hell he screwed with! Stripping the both of you of your Championships! I knew we should have kept going! I knew I should have nailed him with that chair again and again and again until he was nothing but a broken piece of what he once was, drowning in a pool of his own blood!
(Venom punches the wall)
Nick: Woah, woah, woah… Save all of that anger for tonight. DEDEDE’s gone and given us exactly what we need to finally keep his ass in the grave where he belongs. He’s pissed us off one too many times and he’s put himself in a match he has no chance in. Who’s gonna help him? WWEFan? Security?
Hades: Don’t expect to see any of them out there tonight.
(Nick and Venom turn to Hades)
Venom: What do you mean? DEDEDE’s as opportunistic as they come… He’ll definitely try to sneak his way out of this match by using his lowly followers to save his ass.
(Hades shakes his head as he shadow boxes)
Hades: I don’t see it happening. DEDEDE’s scum that need to be removed from the boot of the Renegades, but he’s got more pride than anyone I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t have anyone saving him tonight and I honestly think he’s stupid enough to come at the three of us, guns blazin’. It doesn’t matter. DEDEDE lived by his ways and if there’s ANY damn favor the Renegades will do for him now, it’s make sure he DIES by his ways! Tonight, we close the book on this! I’m tired of seeing Mr. DEDEDE’s face! I’m tired of listening to him ramble about the bullshit he put us through! The Renegades declared war on him a long, LONG time ago… And tonight, it ends.
Venom: Better send his boyfriend some flowers. I don’t think dear old Mr. DEDEDE’s gonna make it to Reckless Wiring.
(Venom laughs to himself before taking a swig of his beer)
(Camera cuts to highlights of the first ever Gold Rush Tournament with Lethal Consequences coming out victorious… The second annual Gold Rush Tournament with Y2Impact winning in the end…. And the third and previous Gold Rush Tournament with Hades The Hellraiser defeating Johnny Ventura to win)
(Camera cuts to Max A. Million at ringside)
Max: It’s that time again! The Finals of the prestigious Gold Rush Tournament is upon us! Here I have with me some of the men that were unable to make it to the end as they watch from the front row tonight.
(Max goes over to Christopher Corrupt, who stands up)
Max: Mr. Corrupt, is there any–
Corrupt: For the love of God, shut the Hell up. Do you honestly think I like this? Do you think I enjoy being forced to sit back and watch other, less-talented men fight in MY place? In case you’re forgetting, I was SCREWED out of my Gold Rush Tournament match. What happened? Did EAW Management take notice and say “Here Chris, we’ll put you back in the Tournament right where you belong! Keep the good work!”? What I got was a bunch of assholes looking the other way because when it all came down to it, they didn’t want someone like me making it this far. Right now, I’d be winning the Finals and I’d go on to be the very first man to actually WIN a World Championship after winning this Tournament and become one of the youngest to do just that. But I understand. EAW Management wants to push down out throats guys who’ve spent years and years in this company and just don’t have what it takes to be on top and STAY on top. Last week, I took matters into my own hands and I beat Wraith’s ass. Why? Because I’m the best young lion to ever step foot into this company and I’ll keep eating the competition until I get what I deserve! That’s what I think of all this!
(Corrupt pushes a startled Max away and sits back down)
Max: I see… Well, what are your thoughts on the Finals of this Tournament between Cy Henderson and Devan Dubian, Mr….
(Nemesis stands up, dressed in his usual attire as Max makes his way over to him in the front row)
Max: Do you ever change out of that?
Nemesis: Change? Change what? My skin? You want me to change my skin? This, Max… THIS is who-I-AM! I do not rely on making up little tricks and traits to a fictional character much like the rest of these fools, Max. This is one-hundred percent… Nemesis. What do I think of this Tournament? I believe it should be me where the broken down old horse known as Devan Dubian happens to be right now. I believe Devan Dubian’s victory last week can ONLY be chalked up to an anomaly… A phenomenon that only occurs every great once in a while. Devan Dubian’s win over Nemesis was a lightning strike… And lightning does not strike twice in the same place. I have chosen to watch him and I will take a great pleasure in watching him fail. The ride won’t stop there. I’ll continue to point and laugh as the look of disappointment fills his face and he comes to the grim realization that all of his efforts have been nothing but futile! I will find so much amusement in watching Devan find out that he’s a failure and will always be a failure! He will regret ever pinning me!
Max: Alright, alright… How about you?
(The crowd erupts with cheers as Max steps over to a sitting Heart Break Boy next to Cameron Ella Ava as they both stand up)
Max: I see The American Dream is here in attendance tonight. Any thoughts on the upcoming Gold Rush Tournament Finals?
HBB: Max… You sound surprised! Are you surprised The American Dream is here? We’re THE American Dream and Max, THIS is Showdown’s Homecoming to the United States of America!
HBB: We wouldn’t miss this for the World!
Max: Well, it’s just, I know you’ve been in the middle of some conflicts as of late.
HBB: Who, me? Cam? Hey, don’t you worry about it. Cameron and myself are two of the most gifted athletes on the face of the planet! The Heart Break Boy, Cameron Ella Ava, The American Dream lay down for absolutely NOBODY! Cyril Punnoose is just a tiny angry man that wants to take out all of his frustrations for being such a… Well, let’s face it, a mediocre General Manager. He’s become more of a babysitter by this point and I would say the kids are winning if he’s getting hung upside and set on fire like he’s in a real life Home Alone movie! Forget Cyril. He may be the reason I wasn’t able to advance to the Finals, but we’re here to have a good time and we’re excited to see how it goes down between Cy and Devan. As for who wins… It’s a tough call, but I think I’ve gotta give it to my guy, Devan.
Max: Thank you for joining me tonight and there you have it, straight from the mouths of the men who’ve competed in this hard-fought Tournament. Now it’s time to see who it is that has their hand raised in victory as the 2014 Gold Rush Tournament Winner!

(“Beware” by Death Grips plays all throughout the arena as the Referee raises Cy Henderson’s right hand in victory)
Announcer: The Winner of this contest by submission and winner of the 2014 Gold Rush Tournament!!…. CY HEEEEENNNNNDDDEERRRSSOONNNN!!!!
Mak: I’d be lying if I said I wanted either of them to win, but I guess congratulations to Cy…
Masters: Who are you kidding? Cy worked hard for this huge win tonight! Some of his wins were controversial, yes, but you know those were out of his hands and he still managed to get a good, clean win tonight over the very talented Devan Dubian. Cy Henderson has just punched his ticket to the Grand Rampage as he’ll be challenging either Jacob Senn, Tyler Parker, or Mikado Sekaiichi! We’ll find out at the end of the night! Congratulations to Cy Henderson!
(Camera cuts backstage to Mr. DEDEDE taping up his wrists in his locker room with a look of determination on his face… DDD finishes taping and tests it out before he takes his leave through the locker room door)
???: I’ve got something I wanna say to you.
(DEDEDE stops dead in his tracks as he exits the locker room to see Tyler Parker leaning against a wall; dressed in street clothes and his National Extreme Championship on his right shoulder)
DDD: Been a while.
Tyler: I don’t wanna look at you any longer than I have to, so I’ll get to the point: I want to know what it is you plan to do about what Sekaiichi did to the World Heavyweight Championship.
Tyler: Now stop what you’re doing there. Take what it is you were about to say and forget about it. I don’t want you interfering anymore than you already have. This is MY business. You know why he destroyed that Championship? You know why he took it that far and destroyed the thing that meant the most to me? He did it all because you stuck your nose where it didn’t belong! I could have handled it! I don’t give a damn if you’re thinking of stripping him of the Titles like you did to the Renegades or what it is you plan on doing, but I don’t care. I can beat him. I WILL beat him. Tonight, I’m gonna become the National Extreme Champion and World Heavyweight Champion again and you aren’t gonna stop me. If you’ve got a problem with that… Well, we can pick up where we left off at Shock Value.
(Tyler steps forward to get face to face with DEDEDE… DEDEDE chuckles as he and Tyler stare down)
DDD: I put you through a lot of shit, Tyler. You think I’d throw all that hard work away just like that? He’s obsessed with ending me and you beat my ass at Shock Value. I’ve got all the confidence in the World that you’ll win tonight. As hard as it’ll be for you to believe it, I believe in you. You go settle YOUR business… And I’ll settle mine.
(DEDEDE and Tyler continue to stare down for a few moments before DEDEDE takes his leave)
(Camera cuts backstage to Tomi Venus dressed as Uncle Sam with a mic in his hand as Showdown returns from commercial)
Tomi: And so Dynamite Rain are two-time Unified Tag Team Champions… Cy Henderson is the 2014 Gold Rush Tournament winner, I guess… My guest–
???: Your guest…
(Camera pans over to Jacob Senn in his ring attire)
Jacob: Your guest is the next Heavyweight Champion of the World. Something someone like you shouldn’t even be allowed to utter. I’ve spent too damn long wasting away; playing games with the likes of jokes such as Zack Crash, Brian Daniels, and Tyler Parker. I’m tired of this round about bullshit. Tonight, I put an end to every single person that has doubted Jacob Senn and everything he stands for. Tonight, I beat Tyler Parker AGAIN and I put Sekaiichi back into irrelevancy where he belongs. I’m going to make Sekaiichi regret deforming MY World’s Championship! I’m going to make Tyler wish he had never stuck his nose into my business and slithered his way into what should have been MY World Championship match and mine alone! I hate having to waste time by standing here with the likes of some neverwas like Tomi Venus when I would be making history! I’ll bite the bullet and I’ll continue to wait until the bell has finally rung and I can unleash ALL of this pent up aggression I’ve accumulated over the course of these past few weeks… Just biding my time until I’m able to hurt these two men and finally… FINALLY… Take what belongs to me. After tonight, all of the screwjobs… The anger… The frustration… All of the being forced to the back of the line and the people I’ve went through just to get here… It’s going to be worth it. Tonight isn’t just a match. It isn’t just the match of my career. Tonight is the match of my life! MY LIFE! If I don’t win tonight, I might as well be dead! I refuse to walk out of this arena without that World Championship around my waist! Nobody’s stopping me! Tonight marks the beginning of the Era of Liberation… The Reign of Vengeance… The crowning of Jacob Senn: World… Heavyweight… Champion.
(Jacob takes his leave as Tomi looks on)

Masters: These three men don’t look like they came here to wrestle by any means! They look like they’re here for war and that might be EXACTLY what they’ll get! This association with Mr. DEDEDE has come full circle from the night after Mid-Summer Massacre, where the Renegades attempted to end the career of Methuselah and it’s been one heck of a roller coaster ever since…
(“Till I Collapse” by Eminem plays all throughout the arena as Mr. DEDEDE makes his way out to the stage in a sleeveless vest, a beanie, and red and black tights with “He who laughs last” on one leg and “… Laughs best” on the other leg; as well as a guitar in hand with barbed wire strings)

Mak: I don’t know if that’s DEDEDE, Methuselah, or Elmer-fucking-Fudd! All I know is that he’s wielding that ridiculous weapon he calls the Equalizer and it doesn’t look friendly in the least bit! DEDEDE’s in as he and the Renegades stare down! It’s come to this! Months upon months of betrayals, brawls, and alliances and it’s time for it to end in a river of blood! My body is ready!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Masters: DEDEDE WASTES NO TIME AS HE SWINGS AT THE RENEGADES WITH THAT EQUALIZER!! All three men bolt from the ring as that vicious weapon nearly connects! Hades, Venom, and Nick now surrounding DDD in the ring… DDD’s got that Equalizer in hand, but I’m not sure it amounts to much against three individuals who want to end his career… Hold on now.. Venom, Hades, and Nick all slowly closing in as they each take one side of the ring… All three get to the apron! DDD SWINGS FOR THE FENCES AT ALL THREE! VENOM QUICKLY ENTERS THE RING AS DDD GOES FOR NICK AND HADES! VENOM CHARGES! DDD SWINGS AROUND WITH A SHOT STRAIGHT TO THE GUT WITH THAT EQUALIZER!

Venom going to work on a damaged DDD as he lays into him with hard lefts and rights! DDD drops the Equalizer again! Venom drives DDD head-first into the barricade! VENOM CHARGES FOR A BOOT TO THE SKULL! IT MISSES AS DDD CATCHES VENOM FROM BEHIND–SPILLING HIM OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE FRONT ROW WITH NICK! DDD turns his focus back to the now standing Hades The Hellraiser as both men stare down…
Masters: These two men have a vendetta unlike any other! They’ve been out for each other’s blood for quite some time and it looks like it’s about to finally culminate here tonight! HADES AND DDD CHARGE AT ONE ANOTHER!! BOTH MEN MEET EACH OTHER WITH AN ONSLAUGHT OF LEFTS AND RIGHTS!! BOTH MEN TRADING BLOWS! THEY’RE GOING AT IT! NEITHER MAN WANTING TO GIVE THE OTHER EVEN AN INCH!! HADES STOPS IT WITH A KNEE INTO THE GUT OF DDD! ANOTHER KNEE TO THE MID-SECTION! HADES SENDS DDD INTO THE STEPS! NO–DDD TURNS IT AROUND AS HADES IS SENT CRASHING INTO THE STEPS!! DDD’s fired up!! He could be looking to break Hades in half right here and now! Hades slowly climbing up.. Nick Angel rushes in and nails DDD with a shot from behind! DDD fires back at him with an elbow to the face as Hades gets up! DDD CHARGES! SPEAR!!!!

DDD LAID OUT WITH THE INJECTION OUT OF NOWHERE AS VENOM GOT HIS FORMER PARTNER WITH THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE! The House of Renegades may be in the driver’s seat! DDD is downed! Venom reaches down and clutches the hair of DDD, slowly dragging him back up… Venom nails DDD with a shot to the face, sending him backpedaling… Nick Angel from behind! PICKING DDD UP!!

Hades The Hellraiser looking to join the fray as he makes it over the barricade and lays into DDD with multiple stomps! Venom joins Hades as both men double-team the downed former World Champion!

VENOM GOES FLYING INTO BOTH HADES AND NICK!! ALL THREE RENEGADES DOWN!! DDD may have just saved himself! DDD’s back has to be killing him after taking that devastating spinebuster from Venom! DDD’s visibly in pain, but he knows he can’t let up on the attack! He knows he’s gotta keep going and completely forget trying to recuperate at all in this! DDD slowly making his way up the stairs and to that balcony as the House of Renegades are stirring! DDD up there! He’s with the fans on that balcony! What’s he… No..

PLANCHA ONTO THE HOUSE OF RENEGADES!!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE HE DID IT!! THIS GUY DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT HOW WORN HIS BODY IS AND ALL THE INJURIES HE’S HAD!! MR. DEDEDE IS CERTIFIABLY INSANE!! IT MAY HAVE BEEN INSANE, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, IT DID ITS JOB AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF RENEGADES ARE NOW DOWN AND OUT! ALL MEN, INCLUDING DEDEDE, ARE DOWN! NOBODY MAY BE GETTING UP AFTER THAT ONE!
(Replay is shown in slow motion of Mr. DEDEDE’s plancha over the guardrail off the balcony and onto The House of Renegades)
Masters: Somehow, some way, Mr. DEDEDE finds a way to make my jaw fall to the floor! I don’t know if ANYONE in this match can continue after that! It looks like the only man showing life here is DEDEDE himself by some grace of God… The Referee trying to check on all four men and it looks like DDD’s gonna use that to his advantage by pulling himself up, clutching the clothes of the Official!

Masters: Nick has no idea what’s going on, but he knows he needs to end this! Nick quickly drags DDD back up… GROUND ZERO ONTO THAT CHAIR!!!! DDD TURNS IT INTO A ROLL-UP!! NO WAY!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!!!……. TWO!!!!!!!!!……… THREE!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Till I Collapse” by Eminem plays all throughout the arena as the Referee raises the hand of Mr. DEDEDE)
Announcer: The Winner of this contest by pinfall!!…. MISTER DE! DE!! DDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Mak: What was that?! DEDEDE’s ass was saved at the end!
(The man in the motorcycle helmet makes his way up the ramp and quickly takes off the helmet to reveal Drastik with a smirk across his face)
Masters: I can’t believe what I’m seeing! Drastik helped DEDEDE? Why on Earth would he want to do that? These two men are sworn enemies!
Mak: You know what I think? I think Drastik wants to be the one who ends DEDEDE, NOT The House of Renegades! I hate to see the House of Renegades screwed over like they were, but I’ve gotta give props to Drastik for thinking that way. Had he allowed them to connect with that spike piledriver, there WOULD be no Reckless Wiring match nor would there be anymore Mr. DEDEDE!
Masters: I suppose that makes sense… Drastik better be careful who he crosses though. The House of Renegades aren’t ones to just take stuff like this sitting down… Nonetheless, congratulations to DEDEDE.
(Camera cuts backstage to Cy Henderson making his way through the backstage area following his Gold Rush Tournament victory)
Crew Member _#1: Congratulations, Cy!
Crew Member _#2: Hey, you deserve it, man.
???: That you do.
(Cy runs into a smiling Wraith)
Wraith: What did I tell you? You went and you conquered the Gold Rush Tournament. Cy, you’ve punched your ticket. You’re on your way to becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion at the Grand Rampage… And whether it be Jacob Senn… Tyler Parker… Or Mikado Sekaiichi, it doesn’t matter. It’s YOUR time. I told you that with me in your corner, you would get your Kingdom back and all you have to do by this point is take it. It’s all coming together. We’re coming up on the SEVENTH Pain For Pride event… And it’s not about any Cash In The Vault Ladder match… It’s not about an Answers World Championship match and it sure is NOT about Mr. DEDEDE versus Sekaiichi… Cy, it’s about you and I for the World Heavyweight Championship. Headlining Pain For Pride as we were meant to… You’re on your way to making it happen on your side and I plan on delivering as well. I’ve just been informed that I have officially qualified for the 2014 Grand Rampage match. I’ll see you at Pain For Pride.
(Wraith smiles and begins to take his leave, only to be stopped by Cy)
Cy: You know… I’m completely fine with that. You and me at Pain For Pride? World Heavyweight Championship? I welcome it. I don’t plan on losing at the Grand Rampage, but you… Don’t get cocky. I think we know how that worked out for Kevin.
(Cy walks off as Wraith looks on)
(Camera cuts to the feet of an unknown man… The camera pans up further and further until it stops on the face of Mikado Sekaiichi with a snide grin)
Mikado: Seven days ago, I told the World that I am no World Champion… But a King. I believe it’s time that I breathe life into those words. There are two men knocking upon my door; looking to usurp their way to my Throne. Two men that are filled to the brim with hatred for what I’ve gone and done to their prized crown jewel. Like everyone else, they will fall before their Mikado. They will bow at my feet and they will WORSHIP me… And eventually, come to thank me for throwing that trinket to the fire. Though, it’s not as if all of that gold went to waste. After all… Every King needs a crown.
(Mikado Sekaiichi raises his right hand to reveal a crown clutched in it; visibly made from the melted-down gold of the World Heavyweight Championship)
(Camera cuts back to Masters and Mak at ringside)
Masters: I… I’m genuinely appalled at this man, Mikado Sekaiichi. He’s taken hostage the most prestigious Championship in this company and melted it down into a crown?!
Mak: Well, it’s not like he was just gonna throw the gold away! He’s far more reasonable than that! You need to look at it this way: Sekaiichi is completely right about how much the term “World Champion” has been whored out; used and abused! He did everyone a favor by destroying that Belt and turning it into a beautiful crown… Not like I ever held the stupid Title anyway. Not my problem.
Masters: Well I hope Sekaiichi knows he’s made an enemy out of EVERYONE. Coming up next is his chance to put up or shut up. No Agents of Extreme can help him here. Sekaiichi has to put his World Championship… Crown.. On the line against Jacob Senn and Tyler Parker and you can guarantee they’ll put everything on the line to take what they both believe belongs to them!

Announcer: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IS FOR THE E-A-W HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WOOORRLLDD!!…. First, making his way to the ring…. From Chicago, Illinois!…. HE IS “THE VENGEFUL VANQUISHER”…. JACOB SEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN!!!….
Mak: A former Elite Champion! Unified Tag Team Champion! Jacob Senn has a golden opportunity to walk out tonight as a full-fledged Triple Crown Champion if he can finally go the distance and capture the World Heavyweight Championship! Senn has a unequaled determination, but I don’t know if it’s enough to overcome a man such as Mikado Sekaiichi.
(“Lies” by Evanescence plays all throughout the arena as Tyler Parker makes his way out to the stage in a white and gold trench coat and the National Extreme Championship around his waist)
Announcer: Next, making his way to the ring…. From Syracuse, New York!…. Weighing in at 223 pounds!…. HE IS THE REIGNING E-A-W NATIONAL EXTREME CHAMPION…. “THE LIEGE OF LIGHT”, TYLER PAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKKEEEERRRRRR!!!….
Masters: Tyler Parker has been thirst for his own vengeance here tonight after Mikado Sekaiichi cashed in his King of Extreme World Title shot at Reasonable Doubt. Tyler was added to this contest tonight and he’s taken it as if it’s life or death. He feels he MUST get back his World Championship tonight and put this reign of Sekaiichi to death before it gets any bigger.
“ALL HAIL THE KING!”
(“Hail to the King” by Avenged Sevenfold plays all throughout the arena as a litter vehicle – golden-colored and labeled with the Japanese symbol for King – is carried out by the Agents of Extreme)
Announcer: And lastly, making his way to the ring…. From Las Vegas, Nevada!…. Weighing in at 237 pounds!…. HE IS THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING E-A-W WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!…. THE UNDISPUTED KING OF EXTREME, MIKADO SEK-AI-IIIIIIIICCCCCCCHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIII!!!….
(Mikado Sekaiichi steps out from the litter; dressed in golden attire and carrying his new World Heavyweight Championship-made Crown as he places it on his head and commands the Agents of Extreme to leave)
Mak: If anyone had two braincells to rub together, they would be standing on their feet right now and giving this man an ovation unlike any other! How can you not get behind someone so merciless and yet so confident? There’s a reason this man is the Undisputed King of Extreme! A reason why he’s the World Heavyweight Champion! There a reason why his name translates to “King Best in the World”!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Masters: The bell has officially rung; this triple threat match to determine the World Heavyweight Champion is underway as all three men stare down with one another… Hold on… Jacob and Tyler seem to both have a common enemy here and it’s Sekaiichi! Sekaiichi’s having none of it as he backs up.. Tyler and Jacob make a move, but Sekaiichi immediately bolts to the outside! The LAST thing you want is to be double-teamed in a triple threat contest! Nobody wants to be the odd man out! Hold on–Tyler and Jacob drop down and roll to the outside to surround Sekaiichi! Sekaiichi looks like he wasn’t expecting that! SEKAIICHI MAKES A BREAK FOR THE CROWD!! TYLER AND JACOB RUSH IN AND IMMEDIATELY PULL SEKAIICHI AWAY FROM THE BARRICADE AND BOMBARD HIM WITH A STORM OF SHOTS!! TYLER AND JACOB THROW SEKAIICHI BACK, SPINE-FIRST INTO THE RING APRON! You can read the pain across the face of Sekaiichi as both men have him exactly where they want him… KICK OFF THE CHEST FROM JACOB! Gun-shot like kick connecting! Tyler Parker now with a knife-edge chop to the chest of Sekaiichi! Kick to the chest from Jacob! Knife-edge chop from Tyler! KICK! CHOP! KICK! CHOP!! SEKAIICHI HAS BECOME A HUMAN VIDEO GAME HERE AND I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE HE CAN WITHSTAND!! Jacob finally puts a stop to that lethal onslaught as he grabs Sekaiichi… LOOK OUT! SEKAIICHI SENT SKULL-FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THOSE STEEL STEPS!! I never would have thought I’d see the day in which Tyler Parker and Jacob Senn are united, but they’ve been brought together tonight to punish Sekaiichi!
Mak: Shut up! Quit talking like this is some fucking comeuppance for Mikado Sekaiichi! This man is being brutally assaulted out here by two incredibly bitter men! Look at this.. Sekaiichi doing all he can to pull himself up to his feet using the steps.. TYLER CHARGES IN–NO! TYLER NAILS SEKAIICHI WITH A BOOT TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL AS SEKAIICHI IS SENT FLIPPING OVER THE STEPS!! RING THE BELL ALREADY! END THIS MATCH! SEKAIICHI CAN’T DEFEND HIS CROWN UNDER THESE CONDITIONS! THIS IS MORE OF A GODDAMN HANDICAP MATCH THAN THE MATCH WAS SAW BEFORE THIS! Jacob Senn now… Oh no, Jacob dragging Sekaiichi up and he sends the World Champion hard into the edge of the Spanish announce table! Sekaiichi being rammed gut-first into that table! Jacob immediately drives Sekaiichi’s skull into the cover of the table! This is sickening! If there’s anything you should be getting over-dramatic about, Masters, it’s the absolutely disgusting two-on-one we’re watching! Tyler grabs Sekaiichi and whips him off and into the edge of the apron once again while Senn rips off the cover to that table… I don’t like this… I don’t like this one bit… Senn grabs a monitor… Tyler Irish whips Sekaiichi over to Senn–SENN NAILS SEKAIICHI WITH THAT MONITOR!! MONITOR OFF THE FACE OF MIKADO SEKAIICHI!! THEY CAN’T TREAT THEIR KING LIKE THIS! Sekaiichi still somehow on his feet, but he looks out of it as all Hell! TYLER GRABS THE OTHER MONITOR AND CRACKS IT ACROSS THE SKULL OF SEKAIICHI NOW!! DAMN IT!
Masters: Sekaiichi’s been reduced to a mess thus far in this triple threat bout! Tyler Parker and Jacob Senn have almost all but guaranteed the World Title is coming home with one of them… Look at this–Blood now pouring down the face of Sekaiichi! That shot from the monitor busted the Champion open! Tyler and Senn making eye contact with one another… Oh boy, they seem to truly be on the same page here as both men drag a now bloodied Sekaiichi up.. Both men pulling him in! THEY’VE GOT HIM UP!! THEY’VE GOT HIM UP!! THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE!!! DOUBLE-TEAM SUPLEX SENDS MIKADO SEKAIICHI THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF HIM! MIKADO SEKAIICHI HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY DESTROYED IN THIS CONTEST! THIS HAS QUICKLY BECOME A GLORIFIED ONE ON ONE MATCH AS THE WORLD CHAMPION IS RULED OUT OF THE EQUATION! Senn now… Oh no… It seems like they’re STILL not finished with the World Champion! Mikado Sekaiichi’s about to take even more punishment as Senn tells Tyler Parker something and Tyler now reaching down to pick up Sekaiichi from the shattered remains of that Spanish announce table! SENN DRIVES TYLER INTO THE BARRICADE! TYLER HEAD-FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! SENN GOING TO WORK ON TYLER PARKER NOW! LAYING INTO TYLER WITH SEVERAL MERCILESS STOMPS TO THE BODY AND SKULL!! SENN HAS TURNED ON HIS TEMPORARY PARTNER IN CRIME AND HE HAS NO REMORSE WHATSOEVER! SENN CAME HERE TO WIN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Mak: That’s the right attitude, but what he and Tyler have gone and down to poor Sekaiichi cannot be forgiven! Senn looking to cap it all off as he makes his way over to the Timekeeper’s booth and grabs a steel chair! Senn looking like he knows exactly what he’s doing as he sets his sights on the damaged Tyler Parker… This is gonna end badly for someone as Senn smacks the chair on the mat like he’s about to swing for a Goddamn Homerun! TYLER UP! SENN SWINGS WITH A SHOT TO THE SKULL!!! KICK TO THE GROIN!! TYLER PARKER JUST LEVELED JACOB SENN WITH A KICK TO THE GROIN TO STOP THAT ONCOMING CHAIR SHOT! TYLER GRABS SENN NOW! BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX AS SENN GOES OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE FRONT ROW!!! SENN MOMENTARILY TAKEN OUT OF THE EQUATION!! TYLER PARKER HAS A CHANCE TO WIN THIS, BUT DAMN IT! C’MON, SEKAIICHI! YOU’VE STILL GOT LIFE LEFT IN YOU! Tyler reaching down and dragging a bloodied Sekaiichi.. Oh boy… Sekaiichi looks like he just crawled out of a car crash! Sekaiichi’s a bloody mess! Tyler manages to lift Sekaiichi up to his feet and navigates him to the ring… Sekaiichi’s sent rolling in! TYLER PARKER SLIDES IN! LOOKING TO END IT HERE! NO–SEKAIICHI MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF BACK TO THE OUTSIDE! Tyler Parker looking visibly frustrated, but the good news is Sekaiichi’s still alive in this! He’s able to move! Tyler’s coming for him though as he rolls back to the outside… Poor Sekaiichi doing everything he possibly can to reach some sort of refuge here.. SEKAIICHI LOOKING TO JUMP THE BARRICADE! TYLER GRABS A HOLD OF HIM!
Masters: Sekaiichi being once again dragged back into this! Tyler Parker laying into Sekaiichi with unforgiving shots all over the body! Tyler sends Sekaiichi crashing into the apron! RUNNING DROPKICK OFF THE FACE OF SEKAIICHI FROM TYLER!! Sekaiichi has taken a great deal of punishment in this contest! He’s become a damn punching bag for his opponents! Tyler looking to end this as he sends Sekaiichi rolling back into the ring… Sekaiichi still moving; still trying to escape as he woozily tries to pull himself back up… Tyler’s in and he’s not letting the Champion go anywhere this time!

“ALL HAIL THE KING”
(“Hail to the King” by Avenged Sevenfold plays all throughout the arena as the Referee hands Mikado Sekaiichi his World Heavyweight Championship crown)
Announcer: THE WINNER OF THIS CONTEST BY PINFALL AND STTTTTTTTIIIIIIIILLLLLLL E-A-W HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WOOORRLLDD….. MIKADO SEEEEKKKKKKAAAAAAAIIIIICCCCHHHHIIIIII!!!!
Mak: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE! FINALLY, THERE IS JUSTICE IN THE WORLD! MIKADO SEKAIICHI PREVAILS! HE PREVAILS BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT! MIKADO SEKAIICHI OVERCOMES TWO OF THE TOUGHEST MEN TO HAVE EVER STEPPED INTO AN EAW RING AND HE IS STILL YOUR KING! STILL YOUR WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!! HAIL TO THE KIIIINNNNGGG! HAIL TO THE OOONNNEEEEEE! KNEEL TO THE CRROOOWWNNN!!
Masters: Alright, alright, alright… Sekaiichi DID actually manage to win this bout tonight on his own and what a heck of a bout it was! These men just left it all on the line! They pulled out all the stops! These three men just showed to everybody in the locker room why that World Heavyweight Championship IS the most important thing.. Even if it’s been reduced to a headpiece for Mikado Sekaiichi. I’m willing to give credit where credit is due: Sekaiichi proved a lot of people wrong tonight. Congratulations on his successful defense tonight.
Mak: You’re damn right he proved them wrong! Nobody’s stopping this King! NOBODY!
(“Beware” by Death Grips plays all throughout the arena as the crowd erupts with cheers)
Masters: Oh boy… As cliched as it is, I gotta say it: Business is about to pick up!
(Cy Henderson makes his way out to the stage and down to the ring as a bloody Mikado Sekaiichi tightly clutches his World Heavyweight Championship Crown in his hands in the nearest corner of the ring)
Mak: Get this asshole out of Sekaiichi’s ring! This is Sekaiichi’s night!
Masters: Cy Henderson is just sending Sekaiichi a clear and powerful message… He MAY have survived tonight… But it could very well be a different story come the Grand Rampage when Sekaiichi puts that Crown on the line against this man! The man he’s rivaled with off and on since he became this Sekaiichi persona! It may very well all come to a head at the 2014 Grand Rampage when Mikado Sekaiichi defends his World Heavyweight Championship against the Gold Rush Tournament winner: Cy Henderson! That’s all for tonight, ladies and gentlemen, but thank you for joining us for Showdown’s Homecoming event! Signing off for Mak, I’m Masters, and we’ll see YOU next week on Showdown!
(Cy Henderson stares down with Mikado Sekaiichi as the camera fades to black)

As the year comes to a close in a frenzy of alcohol fuelled commercialism, which most of us either fortunately or unfortunately get dragged into each festive season, I would like to consider two things: artists’ copyright and the plight of the homeless.
At first you may be lost as to any connection between these two things, but the word for me that links these two incongruent aspects of life, is ‘respect’.
In the little professional work I have done with people who live on the street, my overriding impression of what they truly desire, is respect. Yes, like all of us, they need food, warmth, safety and companionship, even love and compassion if it comes their way, but it is the respect of their fellow man that is most important. And it is this, in my impression, that they lease of all get.
Well over 40 years ago, Robert Rauschenberg fought for respect, the respect that should be due to the original creators of art works. During his working career he witnessed the mass commercialization of the art product through the 60’s to the present day, where, but for a few exceptions, virtually everyone but the artist made large sums of money from the reselling of original art works. He believed that the artist/decedents should retain the copyright of the original art work and, as in music, be paid royalties each time the work was resold. This, you may argue, is only about money, but I believe for Rauschenberg it was also about respect. (This year the USA Congress considered the American Royalties Too (A.R.T.) Act, which would give artists five percent of the purchase price when their original works are resold at auction.)
So merry Christmas everyone and lets hope we ‘all’ get a big dollop of double cream respect in 2015
As the Elgin Marbles leave our shores on a ‘cultural exchange’ to Russia the hypocrisy of the art world, governments, dealers, collectors etc. etc. concerning the whole sordid issue of the ownership/appropriation of art works is with us once more.
For millennia art has been appropriated by those who conquer, raid or gain power, the rich, the famous, museums and religious institutions in all their guises across the world. And for all the cultural criticism that ‘art’ may receive these days, it plays and has played a far more important role in our world than it is currently given credit for. Peoples stole and appropriated art not only for financial gain, but as a symbol of status: either to gain the power it held or destroy the power it gave.
So to focus on one act of appropriation as more evil than another, as an example, say, the Nazi hording of art during the Third Reich often being condemned far more than the works ‘acquired’ by the British nation during imperial rule, seems to me a little hypocritical. Do we see Heldebrand Guritt and his son Cornelius as custodians of artwork that may well have been destroyed during a time of conflict, or down right racist thieves; could the same be said of the British Museum via the British Government?
I have no answer to this, but let’s hope the Russians enjoy these magnificent sculptures and that the British Museum does the decent thing by eventually returning them to Greece. However, I think pigs may fly….
Next time… artist copyright.
I’m not sure what is more stressful; moving house or trying to get a gallery or agent to show a morsel of interest in ones work. I have just spent the last two weeks unpacking boxes and reassessing things I had kept for years, but had never taken out of storage. I did try to keep to the two year rule, i.e. if you haven’t got it out of the packing box in two years it is unlikely you’ll ever need it, but some things had to just had stay.
It is strange in the end what you decide to keep and what you discard. My mothers 78 record player was unpacked and now sits proudly open and in anticipation of being wound up and let loose with its steel needle on the complete soundtrack to Snow White. Whilst my set of 20th century cameras was brashly re-boxed and taken to the charity shop with all the other discarded flotsam and jetsam.
However, this years artistic output has not been discarded, but repackaged ready for a new assault on unsuspecting galleries in the new year. BOUND and BROKEN will find a place to be shown; they deserve it even if I do not. Catch all the images on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mark-Carr-Armchairanarchists/199929023470475
PS. For the record, moving house is far more stressful.!!!!
A short blog this week. A time to reflect. A time to remember all those innocents who died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. All those lost children who will never paint a picture, kick a football, laugh, cry, be hugged, be loved.
So my rejections from the ‘Timespan’ residency, the ‘Standpoint Futures’ residency and my proposal for the ‘Christmas Truce Commission’ with Birmingham City Council seem quite insignificant.
I leave you with the poem which I wrote in Australia formed as I walked past the war memorial in Melbourne as the Last Post sounded and the Australian flag was lowered. This was part was part of the proposal for the Birmingham commission, a resurrection piece inspired by that moment and the work of Douglas Gordon who had a large exhibition in Melbourne at the same time.
so the post of the last sounded
all fall down (down, down deeper and down)
and did that smart hat roll-ed blue starred blanket
cold comfort(farm) in newish of time,
for them there laid black down under
in said plunder of maggots ‘n’ men
so all’s that youth nevered grow’d old
in hell’s own earth now fractured by forgotten
and the longness of forever by surrounded
these gardens of eden’s sweet sent, via
dark fella’s door, licked black ‘n’ blue dead
and endless this flame such never be quenched.
The title of this weeks blog to be read in your best James Alexander Gordon voice please….
As two Premiership (or maybe Championship) artists went head to head this week on Wednesday’s mainstream television, Grayson Perry Utd winning clearly by 3 goals to nil over Brothers Chapman Athletic on style, presentation and brush handling; I wonder if the viewers were interested in the ART? As for me, that was a boring nil, nil draw, but hey, that’s the old cynic in me.
As for me, wallowing down in the Conference League North, it was a miserable defeat this week, Galleries Utd taking a comfortable 2 – 0 win home with them. Of course I will not name the two galleries (one a local Arts Group Gallery, the other a college gallery in the south of England) that, let us say, that found my work unacceptable, but I would like to make a little comment on this. The local small galley in a local small town was looking for a print exhibition. As part of and exhibition I had last year entitled ‘Suppression’ I made a series of large woodcuts to stand alone, but also used in the paintings for the show (an example shown above). Not liked! Are they that bad and controversial? The college gallery, a fairly small white cube. The paintings above plus two accompanying videos, from the new BOUND series of work, consummately rejected. Not good, and not controversial enough?
Well, my attitude is be positive, if galleries won’t show the work, find alternative site specific venues. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Electronic pioneers Orbital are reuniting.
Founders Paul and Phil Hartnoll have finally decided to put their sibling rivalry behind them and perform three festival shows this summer.
The EDM duo originally parted ways in 2004, but split for a second time in 2012 after ''four great years''.
Paul hadn't spoken to Phil for five years after that split, but was desperate for a reunion despite them hating one another.
They have reunited several times over the years with their last breakup coming in October 2014, when they announced they were ''hanging up their iconic torch-glasses and parting ways for the final time''.
However, the 'Tension' hitmakers - who have a career spanning more than two decades - are set to perform at Forbidden Fruit in Dublin, Ireland, Hertfordshire's Standon Calling and the Blue Dot Festival at Jodrell Bank in Manchester over the coming months.
Paul says it is ''great'' to have his ''old job back''.
Speaking about their reunion, he told The Sun Online:
''It doesn't feel like that. It's passed in the blink of an eye. The last time we stopped was 2012. However, the time has been filled with solo gigs, solo albums, film scores, so never a dull moment. To be honest, it's nice to have my old job back.''
Despite their disagreements over the years, Paul says that it was just a matter of letting things work themselves out before getting back to work.
He explained: ''It's been five years of growing older and wiser. It's always great to have a break. Leaving problems to sort themselves out, solving those riddles. At that time we couldn't work together any more, I was tired and couldn't see a way forward so I ploughed on with my own project and then found the head space to look at Orbital again. The vibrancy never died it just needed pausing and then reinvigorating when the time was right.''
Their last record was 2012's 'Wonky' and they are also said to be working on new music.

Happiness Is Responsibility Of Both Society And Citizen
A modest form of generosity makes people happier than spending that same amount on themselves, writes Dr Vikas Singh
Photo Credit :
Can money buy happiness? It’s not a rhetorical question. Can money buy happiness is debatable, but it certainly does not make one sad.
Happiness and its measurement a subject of chatter and debate
The rich are generally happier than the poor. Money can increase happiness by enhancing both the ability and access to meet needs and fulfil desires. It provides the tools to solve problems. Equally true is that higher income fails to increase happiness beyond a certain level.
A Crux study covering 18,000 adults across four socio-economic groups insights a strong correlation between happiness and several correlates of happiness. It highlights happiness is complex. Rich tends to be happier, and yet prioritising money over time has actually the opposite effect; and undermines happiness. A modest form of generosity makes people happier than spending that same amount on themselves.
Happiness is unwieldy and difficult to measure, given the multidimensional phenomenon. Several factors affect individual well-being, with income, employment, marriage and education, as important determinants.
Equally, ‘good and cordial’ relationships, health, social support, self-esteem, leisure, opportunities and access to ‘favourite’ activities and social participation is both a source and factors of happiness.
The study articulates that money in the bank has a larger bearing on happiness than income. Even a tenth of annual income in the bank is bliss. Those in debt expressed a disproportionate level of dissatisfaction, with over 80 per cent of the respondents who had ‘availed’ personal loans feeling anxious, even unhappy.
Similarly, those who ‘experienced’ holidays, trips, reunions, or ‘gifted’ were happier than those who used an equal amount to buy ‘things’ or gadgets. Over 90 per cent of the respondents in the top income decile (juggling and multi-tasking) expressed they would ‘trade’ time and leisure for money.
Happiness is also dependent on what the citizens ‘receive’ for the taxes they pay. A vote is a ‘promissory’ note. They expect payback, feel cheated, and endure alienation. Over half of the respondents, particularly those at the bottom half of the income pyramid blame the government for their misery.
They expect the government to own responsibility and provide access to clean water, education, security, health, parks, and livelihood opportunities. The government has not enabled many of the capable and denied most others.
Behaviours and choices influence well-being
The individual has equal responsibility. People who pursue important long-term goals lead meaningful life. Those who exercise, work diligently, follow rules and abide by laws experience well-being. Those fostering a culture of togetherness and fraternity are happier.
Happiness is enrapturing. The impact happiness has on society is difficult to capture but visible. Happy people function more effectively and enjoy more supportive and social relationships. They cheer others and lead to a cohesive society. They are law-abiding, financially responsible and more likely to help, vote and volunteer. They make a positive contribution. Are good citizens.
At the individual level, happiness enhances health and longevity. Happiness doesn’t just feel good, it benefits. The study highlights those primed to feel happy were 40 per cent more productive and go on to earn more than their peers over a lifetime. They enjoy better health and live longer than the ‘less’ happy. Their behaviour and demeanour reflect on the people around them. Happy people do not just feel and function better they excel and achieve what they value. They lead a more fulfilling life.
Happiness proliferates into substantial benefits for society.
The study demonstrates that intuitions about how to ‘convert’ money into happiness are misguided. Often dead-wrong. Mobile phones, TVs, sports cars, and houses have only a limited impact on happiness.
India ranks at the bottom decile of the World Happiness Report. A key metric of happiness and well-being is whether people have access to the basic necessities of life at an affordable cost, coupled with freedom for their citizens to perform basic activities without any hindrance.
Correlation is stronger in a poor economy, featuring steep inequality
India has the dubious distinction of 70 per cent of its employees earning lower than the per capita income. Over 80 per cent of the poor lack social support, are deprived and denied, insecure and out of the inclusive net. They are exploited and suffer acute discrimination. Poor lack the resources to deal with setbacks. Over 400 ‘kill’ themselves every year. They often make wrong choices and vote badly.
There is also a need for policymakers to understand happiness holistically and move away from the notion that happiness is ‘fluffy’, its pursuit is utopian. Happiness is inextricably linked to money and material well-being and increases with income although there is an upper bound, beyond which the income effect dissipates.
We must reach that upper band.
Our focus must not be on the causes of unhappiness but focus on how we can provide everyone with a dignified living. It’s an economic solution for over 80 per cent of the deprived Indians. We need to weave a new narrative that focuses on social welfare, emotional and mental well-being, inclusion, and sustainable development.
For the rest, the solution lies in a broader idea of happiness. Countries with higher per capita incomes tend to have higher average life satisfaction scores and the better off within a system tend to be happier.
Shrill voices across a section of the thinkers to replace GDP with a happiness index is misguided, doomed to fail, and must. While GDP may have a fair share of problems, it’s a robust measure, a common metric of value and a fair indicator of many intangibles.
Start by assessing the well-being of citizens
This should not mean we give up; instead, intensify our search for those determining factors and identify tools that can holistically measure satisfaction, meaning and purpose of life. And address them holistically.
While societal indicators such as unemployment, education, income, and health are measured and monitored, indicators of psychosocial well-being are equally important.
Our policymakers must create policy frameworks and enablers that stimulate high, equally equitable growth. Growth triggers prosperity and enhances and sustains living standards.
Eventually, we will need to move to ‘well-being’ as the overall measure of prosperity.

December 26, 2016 Chess No Comments on Methods to Get Your Readers Hooked
Methods to Get Your Readers Hooked
It isn’t easy to both hook readers and make them stay long enough to actually read what you want to say. One way to make the odds work for you is by using the most attention-grabbing method that pulls the readers and forces them to stay. That is by sparking their curiosity just enough. Below are three methods on how you can get your readers hooked by just the first sentence.
Telling a story through ‘demonstration’
Unlike speakers who can do a demonstration in front of an audience, writers get the shorter end of the stick since they can’t stand in front and make a presentation. But you can also apply this trick. Present information as if the audience is watching, so be sure to do something that will leave them wanting more. This method is like making your readers imagine a scenario where they are to do an action, then you describe that action or demonstrate/write creatively the process like an instruction.
Seeing the advantage of case studies
The thought behind a case study is to basically analyze what made something work (or not work). It details a specific situation and leaves the readers curious how a successful or unsuccessful scenario turned out the way it did. Get the readers hooked by opening your sentence with “did you know?” or “things were not the way they were before,” or something similar.
Presenting an opposite stance
It’s good to know how to argue or answer when presented an argument that go against your own headline or thought. Looking at your piece from an opposing stance is different and might be unexpected, but in turn captivates your readers more. If you’re writing about how you can accomplish more in a short while, you can first debunk the myth of multitasking. Tell your readers the truth about multitasking that it doesn’t work all the time, and a person who multitasks to complete everything at the same time can actually end up accomplishing nothing or doing everything half-baked. Then, proceed to telling your readers why prioritizing and focusing on one task at a time make wonders when on a tight deadline.
When you don’t know how to move further, there’s a team of writers at MicroCreatives ready to help at any time. Let us know what you need through this contact form, and our creative team will gladly assist you.

For the last month I’ve been working on both a prototype and updating my methods for making modular instruments, in an attempt to streamline the process.
When building a modular instrument, the production process should be such that every neck and body should fit each other – that way the customer can choose from any number of combinations (and I can keep a few different bodies and necks in stock). So for example, I could have a few bodies made of Alder, sealed and ready for painting, and a few neck blocks (necks part finished with a different fretboard materials, ready for hand shaping to taste). This way, the customer gets a shorter turnaround, but still gets a guitar built to the general design, but with a neck shaped to their own hand, with whatever frets they want, whatever fret markers they want, whatever colour they want. But I’m still slightly ahead of the game. I can even make special orders from exotic woods, but having accurate templating will still make the process quicker.
When you’re making guitars, or any other product, the price that you need to charge the customer relies on two things: Raw Materials costs, and productivity. In guitar making, I have absolutely no control over the cost of parts – there simply aren’t any deals to be had, the price is the price and I’m stuck with that. But what I can do is raise productivity, and therefore reduce prices to the customer. This is where I have to compete against those companies who can cut by machine. I still have to do all my cutting by hand, CNC is out of my reach, and just not my bag. By grouping actions of a similar nature, the fact that I don’t have a lot of workshop space can be made less of a disadvantage. Making bodies for a few days, then necks, then scratchplates.
That doesn’t mean that I want to stop making bespoke instruments, but that if I know I can diversify a little, I can invest more into the workshop – and hopefully reach the next necessary step – rebuilding the bloody thing to keep out the damp, cold and rodents!
The new model:
The aim was to create a new and unique shape, but one that would support a huge number of possible configurations for pickups, switching and hardware. Also, I set myself the task of making a guitar that would stand up against the amp without the risk of falling over – it had to have two points of contact with the ground.
The prototype had to be one that was a real utility instrument, so I went for a two humbucker guitar, with coil taps and a tremolo. Because I’m going to be playing it, the tremolo only goes one way, something achieved by cutting the neck pocket a few millimetres deeper than the design would normally require.
The basic design revolves around the 25 1/2″ scale length. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that because of the raised tension in this longer scale, the range of tones available is slightly wider. Listen to the neck pickup on a strat – it’s not the materials alone that allow that ‘chime’ and attack – the tension changes the way that the string reacts. Of course, top end can always be rolled away with the tone pot. Putting a single coil in a 24 3/4″ scale guitar rarely gives a similar effect in terms of tone, there is a noticeable lack of that spank and attack. In this case I originally started with a piece of Ebony for the neck, but it had a fault in it and I had to scrap it, hence the maple. However, the extra attack that seems to generate has made the guitar even more reactive, especially for the neck pickup.
The other thing that really changes massively in the tighter string is he reaction to both pinch and natural harmonics. For me, in the 25 1/5″ scale they are often more prominent and certainly pick harmonics seem easier to coax out of the guitar. Note that many of the late 80’s shredders used Strat length guitars. Lastly, the increased tension I think, aids tremolo stability – more string tension balanced by more spring tension. All together there is more force seating the block against the pins.
The wood used for this was leftovers. The piece of Tulip wood that was used for the body was brought in as a long plank, but the end was a bit green so I left it to one side – so that was cut and glued into a blank. The maple for the neck was a leftover that had warped slightly, so I had put it to one side earlier this year, but managed to plane it straight enough to use. The fretboard was was the last piece of a block I’d already made two necks from, both of which had subsequently warped and had to be binned, but for a fretboard was still fine.
I didn’t worry too much about the colour scheme, on the basis that I had a large piece of black scratchplate – so the body had to work with that. White seemed the obvious choice, so a spray can was purchased.
The neck shape is a little faster than I would normally design for myself, it’s a bit flatter too. When I first set it up and plugged it into an amp, I didn’t like the action because it was too low!
Lastly, the pickups. I’m a massive fan of the Bare Knuckles Pickups – my go to has always been the Mules. However, for prototyping they are a reassuringly expensive. So as an experiment I ordered a set of ‘Rolling Mill’ pickups from Iron Gear. Are they as good as the Mules? For me, no not really. But at three times the price are the Mules three times as good, absolutely not? The difference is subtle, partly in the smoothness of the bottom end of the pickup. But there’s no doubt that what Iron gear have done is create a pickup that at this price point I haven’t seen matched. They stand up against pretty much any of the non boutique brands that I’ve used here for replacement work, and destroy anything else I’ve heard that still resides in the budget market.
The prototype took about a month to make, from the templates to the finished guitar, which is pretty quick for me. I did a lot of re-tooling, especially in terms of the router and table. Whatever happens that will be of benefit later. In design terms, it’s certainly a departure from the more traditional shapes that I have tended towards, let me know what you think of it. I’m not sure whether it will prove popular, but it’s certainly growing on me!
PS: It doesn’t have a name yet. I think it’s going to need one.
PPS – As an alternative, I could also make a ‘custom’ model using exotic woods and load the guitar from the back, using the same basic shape and neck design – no plastic at all.

Mites in Guinea Pigs
Mites are small insect parasites that can cause serious skin problems for your guinea pig. The two common guinea pig fur mites are Trixacarus caviae (sarcoptic mange mite) and Chirodiscoides caviae.
Your guinea pig may acquire these fur mites from other infested guinea pigs that she comes in contact with or from previously contaminated bedding. Mites can affect a guinea pig of any age or sex.
What kinds of problems can mites cause in my guinea pig?
Early in the infection, your guinea pig may not show any signs. Your pet may or may not be itchy. It all depends on the type of mite and if she is hypersensitive to mite bites.
Chirodiscoides caviae mites may cause mild to no clinical signs at all and are generally not life-threatening.
Trixacarus caviae mites (sarcoptic mange mite) can cause extreme clinical signs because they cause extreme itchiness. These mites cause such itchiness that your guinea pig may even go into seizures and die.
"Sarcoptic mange mites can cause extreme clinical signs because they cause extreme itchiness."
With sarcoptic mange mites, the following signs may occur:
- Affected skin will get thick and sometimes yellowish and crusty.
- There may be hair loss in the affected area.
- Secondary bacterial skin infection commonly occurs.
- In time, weight loss is common, and your guinea pig may become debilitated, lethargic, and depressed.
How will my veterinarian diagnose mites in my guinea pig?
Your veterinarian should examine your guinea pig regularly (at least once a year) to identify mites as early as possible and provide treatment.
- First, your veterinarian will examine your pet's fur and skin for evidence of mites and other external parasites.
- If your veterinarian sees evidence of skin disease, cultures for bacteria and fungus may be taken as well.
- Your veterinarian also may run diagnostic tests to make sure the itching and scratching are not caused by other diseases.
How are guinea pigs with mites treated?
If your guinea pig is badly debilitated, your veterinarian may suggest hospitalization for supportive care to build up the animal's strength.
In addition, there are no specific drugs specifically formulated for managing mites in guinea pigs, so it is likely your veterinarian will suggest an 'off label' use of products designed for dogs and cats. These may include topical cat medications such as Advantage® or Revolution® or injectable anti-parasitic medications. These drugs are safe in guinea pigs, but should ONLY be used under the guidance of a veterinarian familiar with guinea pigs.
Your veterinarian may also recommend topical flea powders, premise sprays, or even professional pest exterminators. Before considering any of these treatments, be sure to ask your veterinarian about using them safely.
Since adult mites can survive off of your guinea pig, for example in carpets, bedding, and other fabrics for short periods of time, be sure to clean and treat your home and other areas where the animal resides, plays, and visits since mite eggs or adult mites may have fallen off the animal in those areas. This treatment must be long enough to get the adult from the last mite egg that hatches. Your veterinarian can advise you about how to do this.
"Before considering any of these treatments, be sure to ask your veterinarian about using them safely."
Certain products should never be used on guinea pigs including mite collars, organophosphates, straight permethrin sprays, or permethrin spot-on treatments, as these may be toxic to your pet.
Should I be concerned about mites affecting my family?
Guinea pig mites do not like living on people, so most people living in a home with a mite-infected guinea pig do not develop infection. However, Trixacarus caviae mites are contagious to people, so if someone in your family is sensitive to mites, he or she may develop a mild and likely temporary dermatitis (skin infection) from coming in contact with an infected guinea pig. Individuals living in a household with a mite-infected guinea pig who develop skin problems should seek the advice of their physicians.

2014, Walt Disney Motion Pictures
Man of Action (original Marvel comic)
Jordan Roberts (screenplay)
Dan Gerson (screenplay)
Robert L. Baird (screenplay)
Scott Adsit (Baymax)
Ryan Potter (Hiro Hamada)
Daniel Henney (Tadashi Hamada)
T.J. Miller (Fred)
Jamie Chung (Go-Go)
Damon Wayans Jr. (Wasabi)
Genesis Rodriguez (Honey Lemon)
James Cromwell (Professor Robert Callaghan)
Alan Tudyk (Alistair Krei)
Maya Rudolph (Cass Hamada)
The Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature lives up to its reputation as one of most fun films in Disney’s animated catalog.
In the city of San Fransyoko, Hiro Hamada is a young prodigy who loves to compete in bot-fighting. After defeating and then confronted by a tough opponent, Hiro is luckily rescued by his older brother Tadashi only for both to be busted by the police. Tadashi offers Hiro a chance to check out the school he is studying in. After meeting top scientist Robert Callaghan, Hiro decides to use his brain for school and uses a new technology using “microbots” to gain entry in the school. However, when a fire breaks out, Tadashi, who attempts to rescue Callaghan, is killed in the fire.
After suffering depression, Hiro learns that Tadashi’s healthcare robot, Baymax, is there to help Hiro deal with his pain. When Hiro learns of a mysterious masked man who has been using the prodigy’s microbots as his weapons, he soon discovers the connection between the masked man and his brother’s death. Deciding to train Baymax and reprogram him to learn combat, Hiro soon learns he will need extra help. Enter Tadashi’s friends Go-Go, Wasabi, Fred, and Honey Lemon to join Hiro in his quest to find out why his brother died. Using upgrades and armor that Hiro has created, the five youngsters and the robot Baymax become the Big Hero 6.
After acquiring Marvel Entertainment in 2009, the first official project to be in development is this film, which is well worth the wait. Despite major changes between the Marvel comic and Disney’s take on the project, this new version of the comic is quite fun as it combines Marvel-like storylines along with both the cuteness of Disney and Japanese anime-like influences.
The story plays out as both a typical superhero-revenge film, mixed with comic results, thanks to hilarious comic style of T.J. Miller (who does great improv as the kaiju-loving Fred) and Damon Wayans Jr. (who can scream like his hilarious comic dad). Young actor and martial artist Ryan Potter does very well as Hiro, the main protagonist of the film while Scott Adsit brings a sense of likeness and caring as the robotic balloon-like Baymax. Their relationship is an integral part of the story with Jamie Chung and Genesis Rodriguez rounding out the cast well as adrenaline junkie Go-Go and the very intellectual yet at times over-reactive Honey Lemon respectively.
The city of San Fransyoko is nicely done, a nice mix of American and Japanese city life combined into one heck of a city. The city itself sets itself for a nicely done enhanced final action sequence that brings reminiscence to another major Marvel film and yes, I am talking about that little superhero team-up epic known as The Avengers. There is a bit of similarity between the two and here, it is nicely done. In fact, it is near as epic as its live-action counterpart.
Big Hero 6 without a doubt earned its Best Animated Oscar. The animation is beautifully done, some great comic relief, a Marvel-esque storyline complete with epic finale that will remind you of another Marvel epic. Definitely worth buying and not just rent!
WFG RATING: A+

DAREDEVIL #115 Marvel Comics, 1974
Check out that cover.
They don't make covers like that anymore. Not to get all old-timer on you, but it seems like these days mainstream superhero comics are interested only in generic, iconic covers that don't really indicate what the interior contents of the comic are. The days of word balloons on the cover are long gone, my friend, and that's a damn shame.
Daredevil #115 is one of those comics that I clearly remember reading when I was a little kid. My family used to make the long road trip from Glendale, California all the way up to Yorkton, Saskatchewan, for a few weeks of summer vacation. I'm really quite fond of Saskatchewan and would recommend it as a vacation destination to anyone interested in grain elevators and mosquitoes.
One of the highlights of the summer trips to Yorkton was a visit to the cabin on Crystal Lake of our family friends, who had three daughters. My sister and our friends and I would go swimming and waterskiing and eat and play cards and pick leeches off our feet and it was great. There was this great old drive-in theater up the hill from the cabin where we'd watch bad 70's movies under a big northern sky full of stars. The whole thing was like a Norman Rockwell painting, only different -- Canadian. It was here, at the lake, that I found Daredevil #115 in a box full of toys outside the cabin.
I had never heard of Daredevil before. I knew who Spider-Man and The Hulk were, but who was this guy? When I was a kid I remember being a little scared by Marvel comic covers, and this was no exception. I mean, Daredevil is clearly in trouble on the cover above -- "Looks like this is the death-trap I don't escape!" All the Marvel covers of the 70's were like that; they all showed the hero about to get killed or otherwise being handled roughly. It kind of freaked me out. I think I wanted to see more upbeat covers, wanted to see the hero kicking some ass.
Having said that, I was hooked by the scary cover. So I sat down on the deck and I read it. I had to know if this Daredevil guy made it, who this Death Stalker guy was, and why that bald guy was shooting at him.
The Death-Stalker is one of the coolest villains ever. Let's just get that out of the way. My judgment is clearly swayed by the heady fumes of nostalgia, but I'm amazed that nobody has brought him back. Have they, and I missed it? Death-Stalker was this sinister guy in a hat who... you know what, this splash page says it all. (Click to enlarge for better reading.)
"He is the demonic Death-Stalker -- and his mission is murder!"
Man, Death-Stalker freaked my shit out! As a kid obsessed by Dracula and The Nazgul, I thought he was brilliant. Death-Stalker could become intangible at will, his touch was death, and he had a really evil laugh. Plus: cool hat. What more do you need?
This issue was written by Steve Gerber, with solid 70's art by Bob Brown and inks by the iron hand of Vince Colletta. Steve Gerber is best known for creating Howard the Duck (and Doctor Bong), but he's written tons of stuff. I'm not sure if he created Death-Stalker; I'm too lazy to look it up. Gerber's Daredevil is consistent with the pre-Frank Miller take on the character as a wise-cracking acrobatic swashbuckler. It's actually kind of funny; Daredevil doesn't seem to be remotely afraid of the sinister Death-Stalker in this issue and remains pretty upbeat despite his enemy's apparent invulnerability.
I read this comic dozens of times that summer. I poured over the letters page, the in-house ads, every panel of art - it was a fascinating glimpse into a vast fictional world that was apparently much more complex than just Hulk and Spider-Man. It kindled my interest in comics. Regrettably, that particular comic and I had to part ways, but as you can see, I tracked it down.
I did that with all the old comics I remember reading as a kid. I've pored through back issue bins over the years until I've collected them all. It's like capturing a certain smell or a sound in a bottle. Wouldn't you do that, if you could? Go back to that winter when it really dumped snow on your neighborhood and capture the smell in the air? Or go back to summer camp and capture perfectly the sound of the frogs at night and the snoring of the kid in the bunk next to you? Or capture the sound of traffic and the city drifting in through an open window as you try to sleep on a hot night in July? Well, I did it. I went back and captured all those memories, those feelings and now I have them in acid-free polybags.
There are only about six of them, comics that I have that connection with. The rest are just comics. But when I open Daredevil #115, I can smell the sunscreen and Deep Woods Off, I can feel the warm prairie breeze, and I'm back at Crystal Lake, Saskatchewan.
Oh! Added bonus! Check out this in-house ad for their wild new character - Wolverine! But is he hero -- or the most dangerous new super-villain ever? That makes me feel very old.

100 meet friend online dating site Hot chat id on skype
The protocols and practices of dating, and the terms used to describe it, vary considerably from country to country and over time.
While the term has several meanings, the most frequent usage refers to two people exploring whether they are romantically or sexually compatible by participating in dates with the other.
People can search their zip code or city/state/country for Friends in their area.
If they are interested in your profile they will contact you directly.
Dating is a stage of romantic relationships in humans whereby two people meet socially, possibly as friends or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a prospective partner in a more committed intimate relationship or marriage.
If they decide they want to contact you, they become a member of Rent and they contact you directly to set a time, date, location, activity and price.As humans societies have evolved from hunter-gatherers into civilized societies, there have been substantial changes in relations between men and women, with perhaps one of a few remaining biological constants being that both adult women and men must have sexual intercourse for human procreation to happen.Humans have been compared to other species in terms of sexual behavior.Being your own Boss, you get to decide what you want to do.We have had members contact friends to attend concerts, sporting events, special VIP events and much more.

Vanessa Van Edwards (@vvanedwards) rejoins us to further discuss components of nonverbal communication. She is the lead investigator at human behavior research lab Science of People and author of Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People.
What We Discuss with Vanessa Van Edwards:
- What Albert Mehrabian’s commonly misinterpreted 7-38-55 Rule of Personal Communication is — and isn’t — telling us about nonverbal communication.
- The components of nonverbal communication including body language, facial expressions, and vocal tone, along with ornaments, proxemics, and haptics.
- The dangers of focusing so fully on expressing yourself with one component of communication that you neglect the others.
- The two metrics of essential nonverbal communication: confidence and engagement.
- Power posing and movement, and how to use our hands and eyes to engage.
- And much more…
- Have Alexa and want flash briefings from The Jordan Harbinger Show? Go to jordanharbinger.com/alexa and enable the skill you’ll find there!

When you interact with others, mere words only convey part of the message. Nonverbal communication goes beyond simple body language and accounts for a significant part of the signal — whether you’re sitting across the table from someone or talking to them on the telephone.
At nine months pregnant, Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People author Vanessa Van Edwards and her baby-to-be joined us to dig further than we ever have before into the mysterious world of nonverbal communication, how we can decode what others are trying to tell us, and effortlessly make our own intentions clear to others. Listen, learn, and enjoy!

More About This Show
The components of nonverbal communication can be a tricky bunch to master, but having at least a basic understanding of how they work will get you far in picking up what others are trying to tell you beyond the words they’re speaking and reduce the likelihood that your own messages will be misinterpreted.
Luckily, Science of People body language expert and Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People author Vanessa Van Edwards was able to rejoin us to drop another round of nonverbal communication knowledge on us. Make sure to check out her first appearance on the show here for practical understanding of the role that social cues play in our interactions with others.
Nonverbal First Impressions and the 7-38-55 Rule
Dr. Albert Mehrabian’s famous, but often misinterpreted 7-38-55 rule seems to imply that only seven percent of any communication is verbal, 38 percent is through vocal tone, and 55 percent is with body language. But if you’ve ever tried to watch a movie in a language you don’t speak without relying on subtitles, you know you’re missing more than seven percent of what’s going on. So what gives?
Vanessa clarifies that subjects in Mahabrian’s study recorded their first impression when just one word was spoken to them: “Hello” — so of course verbal is only going to account for seven percent of the communication in that particular study. So while the results don’t hold true for all communication, they do support the idea that the first few words of a conversation are not as important as their nonverbal components.
Communication Is a Balancing Act
Sometimes we focus so fully on one aspect of communication that we completely neglect the others at play — and this even happens to the experts. While being interviewed for a podcast, Vanessa channeled all of her vocal power and charisma into the microphone, but didn’t make much eye contact with the host or provide him with much feedback in the way of facial expressions.
“I’m kind of watching his cues, but I’m really trying to focus on my message,” says Vanessa. “And about 15 minutes into this interview, he says, ‘Am I boring you?’ I wasn’t giving him a ton of facial expressiveness, my voice tone was there, but I wasn’t giving him eye contact. I wasn’t doing a lot of gesturing; I was focusing on my vocal power. And so what I said to him is, ‘First of all, people can’t see me, and I have resting bitch face! So I also look angry even though I’m not angry. And I realized in that moment that the channels are totally overlapping.
“You can be putting all of your emphasis in that tonality, into your vocal power, into your resonance, trying to get that up, but it is so tied with facial expressions and body language that he could not hear the vocal and keep it by itself. He was watching me and he wasn’t getting the nonverbal feedback that he wanted and therefore he felt snubbed.”
When people are completely focused on something, they tend to emphasize their words with their face in what is called a facial punctuator. These facial punctuators vary from person to person; Vanessa’s happens to be what some might read as surprise — eyebrows up, accompanied by vertical lines — and this can be misread by some as a sign of gullibility or naivete. Others might punctuate with an expression more closely associated with anger, and it’s easy to see how this could lead to someone being unfairly categorized as overly negative.
So we all have facial punctuators that may not even match our emotional state at the time, which throws confusion into the mix at best and gives people a contrary opinion of us at worst. The good news is you can become aware of yours and consciously course correct so it doesn’t get you in trouble.
“It’s really important to know what subtle message you’re sending across even if it’s not real,” says Vanessa, “and using either nonverbal or verbal to correct it. If I know that I come across as prudish or unknowing and surprised — which by the way is terrible for my brand — I have to really work to overcompensate…to fight that verbally. And also watch out for it in other people and know that if someone’s punctuating their words with an expression, it doesn’t necessarily mean they feel [as they appear].”
Vanessa recommends making a video recording of yourself during a conversation and pay attention to what your face is doing by default to emphasize your words. It may be uncomfortable at first, but the payoff is it will probably help you avoid even more uncomfortable misunderstandings down the line.
Listen to this episode in its entirety to learn more about how similar facial punctuators might be perceived differently when they’re expressed by women versus men; what ornaments, proxemics, and haptics are and how they contribute to the communication process; what eye patterns relay about confidence; how to be more aware of the personal brand we — knowingly or not — broadcast to the world; the power of gestures; encoding versus decoding; confidence and engagement, and much more.

Transcript for Vanessa Van Edwards | Pumping up the Volume of Nonverbal Communication (Episode 82)
Jordan Harbinger: [00:00:00] Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with my producer, Jason DeFillippo. Today, we're back with Vanessa Van Edwards, a body language and nonverbal communications expert and great friend of mine and of the show. Today, we'll discuss the components of nonverbal communication including body language, facial expressions, voice tone, which of course you've heard of, but we also have some new concepts here that we haven't discussed before, such as ornaments, proxemics, and haptics. We'll also explore the two metrics of essential nonverbal communication, namely confidence and engagement, and how we can begin to master each of these two concepts. We'll also dive into power posing and movement as well as how to use our hands and eyes to engage. Remember, there are worksheets for today's episode so you can make sure you've got everything we talked about here today with Vanessa Van Edwards. That link is in the show notes at jordanharbinger.com/podcast. All right, here's Vanessa Van Edwards.
[00:00:57] Vanessa, thanks for coming back. I know you're about to -- am I allowed to say anything that you're about to pop?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:01:01] Yeah.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:01:01] Okay.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:01:02] Oh, I mean like it's going to come out. I'm about to pop. I am almost nine months pregnant.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:01:06] Great. Yeah, so good. Good thing we came in right under the, under the line here, making sure that we got you on the show one last time because people -- my producer goes, why is she going back so early? She was just on the show and I was like, because she's going to be out of commission for a while probably.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:01:19] And I mean, I don't know. I feel like I could be either way more brilliant today because of all the hormones or way, way less brilliant. So we're just going to see how that goes.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:01:28] Yeah, we're just going to play by ear, and today, we'll discuss some components of nonverbal communication, which is what you are best known for -- body language, facial expressions, vocal tonality. So we've all heard this, what is this? It's the Mehrabian study where it's like, “Oh, it's 7 percent what you say and all that stuff.” But we know that that's not really true because if I watch a movie in Italian, and I don't understand what they're saying, but I'm looking at their body language, I'm not suddenly like, “Oh, I know exactly what's going on right now.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:01:55] Yeah. So actually let's just bust that, that study. So he's actually come out and said, “I'm really sorry for this study. It totally misled people.” What he did in a study, it was actually a very clever design and it's not totally irrelevant. What he did is he had people record their first impression, which is, “Hello.” Right? So one word, and then he had people judge first impressions based on that one word. So of course, the verbal is going to be 7 percent because it was just hello. It's not like they were doing conversations or anything like that. So what's interesting about it is, that study does not hold for all of communication. However, I think it does imply, or it does talk about something interesting, which is that especially during first impressions and on a phone call, your first impression really is hello, right? Those first few words are not as important as a nonverbal. And so while the percentages are off, I like that study because at least it does show that the emphasis, especially in those first few words are important.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:02:59] Okay, good. So now that we've sort of busted that, let's talk about each of these components because I think people don't necessarily know kind of where body language and facial expressions begin, his vocal tonality that important. I would say, yes, doing a radio and online show where if someone's speaking in a monotone way, I just immediately tune out. But I don't know what ornaments proxemics and haptics really are, I mean I know what they are on my phone, but that's pretty much it.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:03:26] Yes, okay. So, well first of all, I can tell you a kind of funny story, I think they’ll appreciate. Okay, so I was on a podcast and because you were saying your voice tone is so important. And so when I'm on podcasts, I try to bring it with my vocal tonality, just like being, you know, being there, I have like tea and water and I spread this to my mouth beforehand because I know that on a podcast, it's mostly audio. Okay, so I get on this podcast and he says to me, the interviewer, he says, “So I would love to have the video up while we're chatting just so we can see nonverbal.” Okay, I'm all about that, like I'm a nonverbal expert, whatever that means. I'm like, “Okay, great.” So we turn on the video and it's not being recorded on video, just the audio. So I am focused 100 percent on this microphone. Like I'm delivering this microphone with all my charisma, which means one, I'm making less eye contact with the camera, like not him, the camera. I'm kind of watching his cues, but I'm really trying to focus on my message and delivering with vocal power, and about 15 minutes into this interview he says, “Am I boring you?”
Jordan Harbinger: [00:04:37] Ooh! Not a good sign. And you're like, “Yes, but I was trying to hide it.” Right?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:04:42] Well, I was like, well, he was not boring me, but he was asking me the same boring questions that everyone asks me, and so I wasn't giving him a ton of facial expressiveness. My voice tone was there, but I wasn't giving him eye contact. I wasn't doing a lot of gesturing. I was focusing on my vocal power, and so what I said to him is, first of all, people can't see me and I have resting bitch face. So I also look angry even though I'm not angry. And I realized in that moment that the channels are totally overlapping. You can put me putting all of your emphasis into that tonality, into your vocal power, into your resonance, trying to get that up. But it is so tied with facial expressions and body language that he could not hear the vocal and keep it by itself. He was watching me and he wasn't getting the nonverbal feedback that he wanted, and therefore, he felt snubbed and it was a horrible experience because I was like, well, first of all, I'm never doing video -- like I've never ignoring video again, even if only he's going to see it. And second, it was a really good lesson for me and that even though I was focused 100 percent of my message and my vocal, that wasn't enough. Like I had to actually do more. I had to do more facial expressions, more expressiveness, more body language. So the channels are so tied, it's hard to separate them out.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:06:02] That's so interesting. Interesting story, but I'm also having trouble imagining what it would be like to have really charismatic vocal tonality and have your face be -- how do you even relax your face so much, but still have a dynamic way of speaking? I don't even know how you can manage that.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:06:22] So I can show you. Unfortunately, I know how this goes. From my own base, unfortunately. So it's totally when I am concentrating and when most people are concentrating, they tend to use facial punctuators. So facial punctuator is not a universal microexpression. A facial punctuator is how we emphasize our words with our face. So everyone has a different one. For me, I tend to do a surprise face. So I angle my eyebrow -- I put my eyebrows up and usually those vertical lines appear. So when I'm talking to you, I'm constantly in the up mode of my eyebrows. I am not surprised all the time, I am just punctuating my words. Some people punctuate with an anger, a quasi-anger expression. So they pinch their eyebrows together and this kind of furrowed brow kind of a look and they're explaining in this very deep concentrated waste, so they're pinching their eyebrows together. You'll notice on news shows, a lot of politicians they punctuate in that way, they're delivering like, let me tell you, this is really serious, let me tell you how. They're not angry. They're just in that -- that's their punctuator of concentration. So if you use a facial punctuator that's negative, people are going to assume that you're more negative. If I use the facial punctuator of surprise, it actually makes me look far more naive than I am, or far more gullible than I am.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:07:46] Great.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:07:44] And you know what? It's actually that's not served me so well.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:07:49] No.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:07:50] Yeah. And like people, people all the time, all the time, apologize to me for cursing. And I always think it's so funny, I'm like, “I know what curse words are. Why are you apologizing?” And I think it's because I look maybe innocent.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:08:06] Like a prude.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:08:07] Yeah.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:08:08] But not really. You are pregnant, so you got that out of the way.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:08:13] It was immaculate, Jordan, what are you talking about?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:08:16] Yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:08:17] Immaculate conception.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:08:17] Scott’s like “I was there, I think.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:08:21] He was there.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:08:22] Yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:08:22] So, I think that yes, a prude is exactly it. That like this constant surprise kind of dough-eyed look that I could have, makes people assume the wrong things about me. So what's important here I think is one, for listeners, if you feel so brave. Record yourself on your next phone conversation and just pay attention to what you're doing by default, especially to emphasize your own words. Most likely it's quasi-surprise, so eyebrows up. Quasi-anger, so eyebrows down and pinched with two vertical lines. Contempt, so pulling one side of your mouth up and talking out of one side of your mouth.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:09:00] Yes, my default.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:09:03] And that, by the way, that one is really dangerous because it can make you come across as --
Jordan Harbinger: [00:09:09] Cocky or arrogant, right?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:09:11] Yeah, I was going to say superior.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:09:13] Yeah, no, no. A cocky and arrogant, it's not really my default. It's something that I broke a long time ago --
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:09:19] You don’t do that very often.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:09:19] No, I really -- I don't, I don't really, but a long time ago I did it, but a lot of it was, it was more like, I'm really tentative because I was really shy and that came across as me being like almost not smug, but I guess really it is a sort of at the same as content, like well, you know, maybe it's like this. And it wasn't just like, “Oh, maybe you're wrong.” It was more like “Maybe I'm not right,” and then no one will like me and I'll be friendless and die alone, right? That was what was really going through my head. But people don't, as you know, people don't go, “Oh well maybe he's shy.” They go, “Oh, he doesn't talk. Well, he's not an ugly person, so he must be the arrogant.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:09:54] Right, that is exactly, I mean, people always jump to the easiest conclusion unfortunately, which is usually your bad, they're right.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:10:04] Right
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:10:04] Right. You're wrong, you're bad, we're good, we're great. So I think that these punctuators, it's really important to know what subtle message you're sending across, even if it's not real. And then using either nonverbal or verbal to correct it. So like if I know that I come across as prudish or unknowing and surprised, which by the way is terrible for my brand, because my brand is the science of people. I run a lab, I'm an author. I should not be surprised all the time, right?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:10:34] No.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:10:35] That's not good for my nonverbal branding.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:10:37] No.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:10:38] So I have to really work to overcompensate with the competence piece, the knowledge piece because I know that I have a really hard time controlling my eyebrows. Short of getting botox, which I really don't want to get, right? I have to fight that verbally. So thinking about how you could fight that verbally yourself and then also watching out for it in other people and knowing that if someone's punctuating their words with expression, it doesn't necessarily mean they feel anger or they feel surprised, they feel contemptuous, whatever. It means that that's their default and it would be good to try to get past it.
Jason DeFillippo: [00:11:14] You're listening to the Jordan Harbinger Show with our guests to Vanessa Van Edwards. We'll get right back to the show after this brief word from our sponsors.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:11:21] Support for the Jordan Harbinger Show comes from our friends at Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans, America's premier home purchase lender. Let's talk about buying a home. It can be one of the most important purchases you'll ever make and you should probably put some thought into it. I think I thought about buying my house for like 10 seconds because Jen's dad was like, “You buy this house.” And I was like, “Cool. All right, we'll do.” I recommend putting a little more thought into it, I think I got lucky because everything turned out well. But today's fluctuating interest rates can leave you with unexpected higher payments, which can be really turn this whole thing into a big anxious implosion. And that's why Quicken Loans created their power buying process. What you do? They check your income assets and credit. They give you a verified approval, which gives you the strength of a cash buyer, which makes you more attractive to sellers. Then you qualify for their exclusive rate shield approval, so you lock in your interest rate for up to 90 days while you shop for the house. Then once you found it, if rates go up, your rate stays the same. But if rates go down, you get to keep the lower rates. So either way you win. It's the kind of thinking you'd expect from America's largest mortgage lender. Jason?

How awesome is that? Now, back to Vanessa Van Edwards and Jordan.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:14:22] Is it different for men and women? Because I think for guys, me looking serious all the time, people are like, “Oh, he's really competent,” but if you look really serious all the time, they might be like, “Oh, well, she's no fun.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:14:34] She’s cold. She’s cold.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:14:35] She's frigid, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:14:36] Yeah, exactly. So it's funny, I didn't think you meant that when you asked the question on gender, I thought you meant like, “Do women express differently than man?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:14:42] Oh, express it differently? No, I meant interpreted differently, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:14:45] Yes, yes. So express differently, I don't think so. I don't think so. Not that I've seen, I haven't seen it in the research and I don't think that's qualitative, even just paying attention. But definitely in terms of interpretation, what is acceptable for a man? Like for example, think of Tom Brokaw as a reporter, right? I mean he is like locked in his eyebrows the whole time. It makes him look intense and serious and like a hard go getting reporter. If a woman were to get on as a reporter and be like, “Tell me, sir. Tell me about your experience in the and whatever.” Politically obviously reporter, right? And like do that, she would be -- she'd be seen as like, “Whoa, that's aggressive.” Right?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:15:26] Yeah. People do like, “Ugh, her husband must be in hell. Ugh! Look, imagine being married to that woman. Ugh, so terrible.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:15:33] Totally, totally. By the way, the funny thing is, I don't know if you have this, but how many -- how often I hear like I'll ask you the question first before I lead you into the answer. How often do people ask you what you do when you meet them? Like 90 percent of the time.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:15:47] Yeah. All the time, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:15:48] A 100 percent, okay. How many people ask you what Jen does, your wife?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:15:51] That's a good question. Probably they do it -- but it's certainly less often, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:15:58] So I constantly get asked, “What do you do?” And like immediately after, “What does your husband do?” Like it defines me, what my husband does. It's a very interesting kind of a thing. And so it's funny that you would say like a reporter with aggressive eyebrows, you think about her husband.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:16:16] Yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:16:16] Whereas a reporter, a male reporter with aggressive eyebrows. You don't think about his wife?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:16:21] No, I'm always like, “Oh, I wonder is Charlie Rose, does he have kids?” “Oh, I never knew.” I'm not kidding. That's like a literal shower thought from this morning. I was thinking like, “I wonder if he has kids.” “Oh I don’t know.” Never going to Google that because I'm in the shower.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:16:34] Do you want him to tell you a funny story about Charlie Rose?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:16:36] Yes, please do.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:16:38] Okay, so I went on Charlie Rose when my book came out last year and it was awesome. Like it really well, they were very -- I was very, very grateful, because we sold a ton of books for not segment. Here's what happened though. And the reason, this is the reason I think we sold a lot of books. So we're chatting in the interview, you know, when you're on media interviews, like you basically black out from nerves or at least I do.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:17:00] I do, yeah. “Oh, like it's over already?” “It was 38 minutes.” “Oh, okay.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:17:07] Yeah, I feel like, “What just happened? What did I say?” “Oh my God! Is everything okay?” So like you go into the zone and you have all your talking points in your head, that everyone you know and their mother is watching, and in New York, been in the green room and so I get up there and they're asking me questions and it's going pretty well. And then they say something, and Charlie Rose says something, and I don't quite catch it, but him and the reporters are giggling, like laughing and giggling. And I'm like, now the part of me that was like the really uncool girl with braces in the corner in school is like beginning to sweat. You know, I'm like, “Why are they laughing? What are they giggling at?” And it gets so bad and you can actually find this interview on the YouTubes--
Jordan Harbinger: [00:17:53] We’ll link to it on the show notes.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:17:55] Great. On the Internet. They are laughing so hard that Charlie Rose and his anchor are like sitting cuddling and holding each other while they're shaking with uncontrollable laughter. Now, I have no idea what they're laughing about. I didn't get the joke. It totally went over my head. He had made a joke about faking it till you make it, which I was talking about in a social setting, but she was talking about in a different setting.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:18:25] I bet, that's you got in trouble for something like that, if I recall correctly.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:18:29] So I, this is like, I did not get it. I totally like this was naive. Like it totally went over my head. I was like, “Fake it till you make it like what?” Like didn't get it at all. They're like hysterically laughing. If you see my face in this interview, I'm like --
Jordan Harbinger: [00:18:44] Yeah, you have the natural surprise and delight look.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:18:47] Like totally frozen, I have no idea what's happening. And I like ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, like just fake laughing until I can get to the interview. Luckily it's sold a lot of books like peaks up for -- people at home got it. People at home got it.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:19:03] Yeah, they're like “Go out and order that book with the one who faked the fake or is it orgasm girl. Go get the fake orgasms book.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:19:08] Yes, exactly. And I leave the set and I asked my publisher came with me, and I was like, “Was that okay? What happened? What happened? Why were they laughing?” She was like, “It's fine, it's fine.” Let me tell you, when you get off of an interview and you're like, I don't know what happened. And someone's like, “it's fine. It's fine.” That does not make you feel like it is fine.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:19:30] It’s not, yeah. Your like for sure it's not fine then.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:19:33] I was like, “Oh my God, I didn't think it was even, it's fine realm.” Like, I didn't even think we were at that level and so I'm like trying to like process what happened and she goes, but “Look, you're at number eight on Amazon.” I was like, “Oh, then it was fine.”
Jordan Harbinger: [00:19:44] Yeah, it’s fine. Yeah, it's fine. Okay, I'll just going to go buy myself a new car and make myself feel better, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:19:50] I was like, it's totally fine. Now it actually is totally fine.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:19:53] Yeah. Wow!
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:19:54] So my Charlie Rose story, which speaking of nonverbal, I think that was one of those moments where they were having a moment and I had missed something, but you don't know that I'm like totally out of it. You just think I'm kind of laughing along and waiting for the interview to keep going. So sometimes I think you can fake it to make it.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:20:13] Yeah, that's -- you hit all came full circle I guess in that one. It's funny. About Charlie Rose, I loved his interviews. I always have, I think he's a great journalist and then when he went through that recent scandal, I was in an article months or even just weeks prior. I think it was an Inc., or Forbes and it was like Jordan Harbinger's the Charlie Rose of podcasting and around 2 o'clock in the morning, one of my writers who lives in Europe was like, “Hey dude, we're going to have to change your bio.” And I was like, “What? Why?” And he's like, “You know, because the Charlie Rose podcasting thing.” And I was like, “What are you talking about?” And then he just dumps like 17 links of all this harassment stuff from Charlie Rose. He got in trouble for probably making a lot of jokes about fake it until you make it to the rest of his staff. And then I was like, “Oh, shoot!” So then another friend of mine is a journalist was like, “Hey, I love this byline, I want to use it for an article.” And I was like, “Can we just not make it the Charlie Rose podcasting?” And she was like, “Oh, I was Larry King.” I'm like, “So far better.” Yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:21:11] So far okay.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:21:13] So far.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:21:14] That -- when the scandal came out, I had my PS in my email was, you know, Vanessa Van Edwards, PS checkout this awkward moment I had with Charlie Rose. That was what was linked in my email. This awkward moment. And I was like, “Oh my God.” I was like, “Delete.” Ugh!
Jordan Harbinger: [00:21:33] Yeah, yeah. Before you hear from his legal team about it. All right.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:21:37] We've got a lot of clicks I think before I was able to delete it.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:21:40] I bet! yeah. Well, we're going to link up that video in the show notes if we can find it. The awkward moment with Charlie Rose.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:21:44] Oh yes. It's still just see me really uncomfortable. That's the best part of the interview is like me just like totally deer in the headlights. We want to see what I look like when I'm really uncomfortable and trying to hide it.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:21:55] Yeah, yep. No, that's a good example of nonverbals. What about ornaments, proxemics, and haptics then? Because of course, body language, facial expression, vocal tonality. Yeah, we kind of covered that a little bit in other shows with you, but ornaments, I don't even know what that is. I really have no idea.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:22:10] Yeah, so ornaments is a kind of overlooked aspect of nonverbal, but I think it really matters. So ornaments are the way that we decorate our bodies. So makeup, hair, jewelry, color psychology actually falls in ornaments as well. And interestingly, there is more and more research coming out around it. It's not, it's not super robust yet, but we can start making inferences. I'll give you an example. So we talk a lot about eye contact and eye patterns in our courses, and not just that eye contact is important, we know that, but that actually the different patterns that we make on someone's face are important. So, for example, alphas, people in power tend to keep their gaze very high on someone's face. They bounce between the eyes and the forehead and alphas and bosses and VIP is very rarely dropped their gaze to the bottom half of the face. It's a way that they socially signal signs of power.
[00:23:01] So this is important because one, if you want to be perceived as more powerful, you can think about subtly adopting it, if it feels natural to you. I'm always very careful to not tell people to try something that's like totally counterintuitive to them because then it comes across as really fake. But if that seems feels natural to you, it's a great way to sort of socially encode competence, and when you see he will make this pattern on your face, you can also sense their feelings of confidence. So that's a great little tidbit to know about eye contact. What can change that? Are ornaments, for example, if you are wearing glasses on the top of your head and they are reflecting, that can just, even that ornament can change someone's or eye gaze patterns. Opposite would be if a woman is wearing a statement necklace, statement necklaces when you have like a big chunky kind of colorful necklace, that can also force someone who was power gazing with you into a different gaze pattern and drop their gaze down.
[00:24:02] So all of these ornaments are also not only signaling different things on their own, like sunglasses on the head is very casual, right? Like surfer dude, okay? And intimate -- chunky necklaces, signals fashion. It also changes someone's natural nonverbal wave interacting with you, same with nails, same with loud bracelets, same with certain kinds of watches. So the ornaments send a lot of different signals as well as change the signals that people are sending to you.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:24:31] For men, it seems like we have a little bit of a limited option here because sure, sunglasses on the head, fine, but I don't have a lot of statement necklaces, chunky bracelets, nail ornaments, or even more than just my wedding rings. So what are my options here?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:24:47] I would agree, actually that's a good thing. I think that the more ornaments, the more choices, the harder it is. So I actually think it's really good. So it's more like a peacocking items, so you know, in the pickup artist community, that's like a big thing to like wear crazy hats or like wear boas or have interesting tattoos or weird earing's, every time you add one of those, you have to realize that yes, it can get attention, but also it could change people's non-rural perception of you. So there's the extras, but I think that -- luckily men have less. So it's, yeah, sunglasses on head, it's ties, obviously colors, like the kind of colors you wear, watches, rings, cuffs or bracelets. Some men wear necklaces, so necklace, especially if they have like religious iconography on them and that those are really the big ones that you're going to hit. So the men are going to have way less choices, and by the way, there's no right or wrong with those, right? Like none of those are bad or good, but you have to understand their assets of your nonverbal brand.
[00:25:47] So every single one of us has a nonverbal brand and when you add ornaments to it, you are adding different assets or variables for someone to pick up on or read you or decode you with that nonverbal brand. It's like a formula, if I have just simple earrings on right now, I have simple earrings and my wedding ring, that's it, right? I have less variables in my formula for you to decode. I'm wearing a green shirt, that's it.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:26:10] Right, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:26:11] Everything that I add on top of it would be another variable in my algorithms. Like I'm wearing red lipstick ,that changes perception of things versus no lipstick versus pink lipstick versus black lipstick, right?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:26:25] Definitely, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:26:27] Yeah. So like those were choices that I made getting ready today as part of my nonverbal brand. So every single variable you add is just adding dimensions to the messages you're sending across.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:26:36] Got it. Okay. And so what about things and -- this is sort of a weird question, but what about something that you can't change that’s part of your nonverbal brand? Well, I guess you could wear different clothing, but what about something like cleavage, right? Does that have the same effect as a statement necklace? Because that's definitely going to bring people's gaze down, man or woman generally speaking.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:26:54] Yes. Such a good point. So actually, the parts of -- the ornaments or the parts of your nonverbal brand you can't change are important to counterbalance with other things you can add. So for example, if you're a woman with ample cleavage, right? That is going to change your nonverbal rant all the time, right? it's going to be adding more sexiness, more sultriness, it adds more femininity. It just does as a baseline for you. So you know that that denominator is not changing, and I apologize, I math terms here are going to get real, real messy. I'm not very good at my math terms, right? Like that's something that's not going to change as part of your formula.
[00:27:33] So if you're in a negotiation or a pitch or a business meeting and you want to amp up in other areas, so not femininity, not sultriness, you are better off using more competence ornaments. Like I would actually recommend if you're trying to counteract cleavage, not putting on contact lenses and wearing your glasses. And that's because glasses it has been proven are competence cue for both men and women, right? If I were you, I would also not wear red lipstick, right? I would never pair cleavage with red lipstick if you're trying to be taken seriously in a business environment because you're trying to counteract that variable. So it's the same thing, for example, so men have less choices, but like if -- so I had, I put this in a good way. So if you, okay, so like if you, everyone's facial expressions or facial settings are different. So one of the things I talk about in my book is like how our brows are laid out, how our jaw is laid out. If you have a goofy face, do you know what I mean by this story like a goofy face?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:28:32] Like somebody that would be a comedian and not just a really goofy looking person?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:28:37] Yeah. Like Rodney Dangerfield, you can think of him. He has a kind of goofy face, like if you just look at him, you almost assume he's a comedian even without him talking. Versus people who have like an aggressive face. So kind of aggressive face would be like, hmm, who's like a really like alpha athlete?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:29:01] Geez, I don’t know.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:29:00] So it'd be like --
Jordan Harbinger: [00:29:02] How about somebody like Hugh Jackman when he's not smiling? Does he look aggressive? I don't even know.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:29:06] Yeah, actually that's a really good one. Like, well, he's like Wolverine, right? But he is also like very like deep set masculine features. Perfect. So Dangerfield and a Wolverine look totally -- they're both men, right? They're both men, but like their facial settings are so different. So if Rodney wanted to be taken more seriously, he would be better off wearing a suit to counteract his goofy looks, right? And if Jackman wanted to be seen as less intimidating, more approachable, he better off wearing t-shirts and shorts and flip flops. So that's a way that you can kind of play with your nonverbal messages, just knowing how you come across, and making sure that you're counteracting with other things.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:29:48] Okay, I like that. And I think that's in some way, a little bit common sense when we see other people do it. But when we think about our own nonverbal brand, I often think that we don't think about this at all.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:29:59] Yeah. Especially not in a systematic way, right? Like that makes sense as I'm saying this to you right now, but if you're going to approach this from a systematic way, I want you to look at your clock. First of all, look at your face, look at the ornaments you normally wear, you know, and like tally up, what messages are you sending? And I'm looking at your closet, looking at your ornament options and saying, “Here's what I could do, here's my wiggle room and here's what I don't have.” That way at least you're going in a little bit more purposefully. So proxemics is the fancy word for how we use space. So one of the ways we don't think about body language, so we think about body language is like just our body, right?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:30:32] Right. Ends up my skin, yeah.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:30:34] Yes, exactly, exactly. We're actually nonverbal, includes how our body interacts with our space, with the objects in our space, and with the people in our space. So proxemics is the study of, for example, how people sit around a board room table and how that affects their actions, their behavior and their feelings. It looks at where people stand, how close someone stands next to you or across from you at a networking event or a bus stop or a party, and how that affects your actions, your behaviors and your feelings, and as well as your, like the objects around you. So for example, we tend to see people who claim objects in their space as being higher in competence. So if I walk up to a high cocktail table, and I kind of lean against it, put my arm on it. I'm claiming that table that actually expands my body, so my body becomes a part of the table. That's all my space, right?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:31:31] It can be so awkward when done wrong though, I'm reminded of this Saturday Night Live skit where someone's playing Hillary Clinton, and she's like, “I will now awkwardly lean against the table,” and they like have her kind of moving backwards and smiling in this awkward way because it doesn't come across as natural. And we've seen things like this, you mentioned earlier the pickup artist community. There's a lot of these guys in some dipstick guru want to be guys like take up more space. So they've got like one foot up on the whole banquet, no one can sit down. There are other arms all the way on two tables, and then someone's like, “Excuse me?” And he's like, “What's up?” And it's like, “Can you move? You're taking up four seats and you look like a dumb ass.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:32:11] Yes, exactly, exactly. So like that's what's really important is context is really important. So if you're taking out four seats in a crowded club, you're just an asshole, right?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:32:20] Right.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:32:20] Like that's not confident, that's not cool. It's just like shitty. So like there's never any -- I think anytime someone gives you really prescriptive nonverbal advice, you got to watch out, you got to be really careful. And I will say it's really hard because like an articles or short videos, you want to get prescription advice because you don't have much time, right? Like we have like a really long interview so I can go into depth. But you have to be really careful when taking prescriptive advice without context, without goals, that nonverbal messages, like if you're the rock and you're told to take up more space to show confidence, you don't need that. He doesn't need to take up space because he is huge on his own. So like it also is your own, again, on the real brand.
Jason DeFillippo: [00:33:04] We'll be right back with more from Vanessa Van Edwards after these messages from our sponsors.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:33:08] This episode is sponsored in part by Four Sigmatic. All right, so this is the mushroom coffee and I know people are like, “Eiw, I don't want my coffee to taste like mushrooms.” It tastes like coffee. They have other things that tastes like mushrooms, if you're into that. Elixirs and things like that. They even have hot chocolate that tastes like wait for it, hot chocolate. So I'm a big fan of this stuff. How's this stuff? When I go to conferences, I don't want to drink Ramada in coffee in the morning. I want my mushroom coffee, so I bring my travel packs and I'll tell you, when I do that, I'm like the hero of the event because people are drinking the coffee and I'm like, “Oh, you want some mushroom coffee?” And I bust out a pack of Four Sigmatic and people are like, “Oh my God, I love this!”
And word quickly spreads, I actually use it as a networking sort of gimmick because I'm the mushroom coffee guy at the event, and people will come find me and go, “Hey Jordan, you don't know me, but I heard you've got mushroom coffee.” And then it's just kind of -- almost like a running joke except for people are dead serious when they want the mushroom coffee. So I highly suggest checking it out. If you like coffee, you'll love mushroom coffee, gives you a little, little extra brain power for the morning. Jason, tell them what we got for them.

Now for the conclusion of our interview with Vanessa Van Edwards.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:35:46] Good call on not taking prescriptive nonverbal communication advice without looking at context because we see that a lot people say something like, “Oh, talk with your hands,” and you end up with this like very inappropriate way that people start using their hands and it doesn't fit the topic of conversation, or they're doing so in a place where maybe you should not be doing so much of that, or maybe you're not the person who's supposed to get the attention right now, that kind of thing.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:36:13] Yes. So I have an entire section in my course on hand gestures, and a reporter went in, took the course, reviewed it great, and she like pulled out a couple of helpful tips and put like, “Vanessa Van Edwards recommends hand gestures are one of the most charismatic things you can do.” And what happens is it creates what I call hand gesture monsters, especially because I teach something called Purposeful Gesturing, which is like underlining your concepts with your hands. So like for example, I'm talking about a big idea, I show you how big it is. I'm talking about three things, I hold up my three fingers, it just helps to anchor information. But what you shouldn't do is interpretive dance, I don't want you to do is like, “Hello Jordan, I'm so happy to be here, and this happiness makes me feel good on the inside.” Like I don't -- that is what I don't recommend, and so that's the problem is you take prescriptive advice like that and it's hard because often people want to see like boil something down. It should never be taking alone, and you have to think very carefully about how it fits with everything else.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:37:17] And going back to proxemics also, no one likes to close talker, right? That's sort of an example of what you're giving here. So someone who's too far away from you, that rarely ever happens. But we all know somebody who got just a little bit inside our psychological space and we were like, “How does this person not have the social awareness to know that they're too close to me right now, this is so weird. I don't like them anymore.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:37:39] Yeah. The only person who likes the close talker as a close talker. I've been like this close to close talkers before and they like absolutely love it. They just like fly, they're just so excited because I will meet them where they're at even though I don't like it.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:37:52] The problem with close talkers is universally, I feel like they all have halitosis as well. It's like you can't pair it. No one's like this really good smelling person who's got gum and mint and is like also a close talker. You're like, “Oh, I'm mildly uncomfortable.” It's always like, “Yeah, I haven't brushed my teeth in a week.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:38:08] And drink coffee.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:38:09] And I eat garlic. Right. I just had coffee and a garlic sandwich with salmon.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:38:13] That is true. I don't think I've ever met a close talker who also smelled delicious.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:38:16] Nope. Nope. Super rare slash never happens. All right, haptics, which I assume is touch.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:38:23] Yeah. Touch, yeah.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:38:23] Sounds [indiscernible] [0:38:23] touch.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:38:24] Yeah, this is easy one, right? So it's like any kind of touch from handshakes to hugs to cheek kiss to shoulder tap to forearm touch, and it's the study of like bodies meeting. So we're talking about nonverbal, it's all of those things, and people will tend to focus on just one, but actually all of those things have to interplay with each other and you have to have a deep understanding of how they interplay.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:38:46] A lot of what we've been talking about, of course, is the way we express our nonverbal communication, right?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:38:51] Yep.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:38:51] So we're good at maybe encoding, as you call it. We're good at expressing it and formulating it and putting it out, but what a lot of us, I would assume come to you to learn and come to Advanced Human Dynamics on our end to learn is the decoding, right? What is it that I can use to read other people? And you have to be good at both of these, because if you're not good at decoding, you don't get feedback for your encoding. If you're not going to encoding, you don't look charismatic or generate rapport or whatever it is you want to do. But if you can't decode it all, you're cut off from feedback and you don't know what other people are trying to communicate.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:39:24] Right. That's the biggest, I think, fallacy that people have is they come to us and they say, “I want to be a human decoder.” Right?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:39:31] Right.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:39:31] And it's all about reading others, reading others, reading others, they don't really -- they're like, “I'm good. I'm fine.” Like I know how I come across or it's “Ugh, my presence, I lack confidence. I know I have like bad interpersonal skills. Help me, help me.” Right? Like you know, I need to work on my own presence, but what we have to understand is there's an interplay here. So you know, research has indicated this is a very broad number, but we can take it with a grain of salt, which is that we send over 800 signals in 30 minutes.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:40:04] Oh, wow!
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:40:04] And what's happening there is it's not just my signals and just your signals that those are important. It's also the bounce back, right? So I show anger, you try to call me down, or you match my anger. I show happiness, you mirror the happiness, that makes me more happy, more relaxed. So that interplay, it's almost like a third signal. It's like you have you, you have them and then you also have the bounce back of what's being mirrored back and forth. And I'm very careful to not talk about mirroring and the traditional sense. I think that we have to be so careful of like, “Subtly mirror,” there are nonverbal. That's actually not -- that's not the best way to do it. It's just to be aware that there's a third entity in their relationship, which is the signals you're encoding, the signals that you are decoding, and then how those are being interpreted. For example, have you ever seen the still face experiment?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:40:57] I don't think so.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:40:59] It's a fantastic experiment that was done that looked at mothers and babies, and they had mothers come into the room with their babies and they put the baby down in a like a high chair and the mom is interacting with the baby. So the baby is going “Ha,” and mom goes, “Ah,” and the baby points and the mom looks and the baby giggles, the mom giggles, and the baby leans in, the mom leads in. There are three distinct things happening. The baby is doing something, the mom is doing something and they're deciding what cues they pick up on. And then in the second part of the experiment, they have the mom turn around. So she turns around like this, turn around and then she comes back completely still faced. So she's there, she's making eye contact with the baby, but her face is not moving, her body is not moving, she's not responding to any messages, no movements at all. And she sits there and the baby like instantly sees something's up. So the baby starts doing all these things to attract the mother back. The baby points, the baby laugh, the baby reaches out and very quickly the baby's like, “What is happening?” Like mom is here and she's here, she making eye contact with me, I am sending signals, but there's no interplay, right? There's nothing that's -- she's not receiving my signals and then bounce them back to me. After a few minutes the baby hysterically cry and the mom that's --
Jordan Harbinger: [00:42:21] Yeah, it’s so sad.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:42:22] Yes. When I show this to moms, it's so funny, they cry when they watch it because it's like -- but the mom didn't go anywhere, she was sitting right there. So the reason why this is important is because for decoding and encoding you have from it, there's the interplay as well. You could be the best decoder in the world and reading someone perfectly, but if you're giving them a still face or you're not giving them interplay back with their reactions, they feel deeply, deeply unheard, and misunderstood, even if you're understanding them.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:42:51] That's so interesting. So we have to be both good at encoding and decoding, and we have to do it in real time. No easy task if you're not naturally practiced at this.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:43:00] That's right. And it's worth investing in both. It's even though you think you're good at one of the other and you might be better at one or the other, it is so worth meeting most because they are a loop. You get better with both of them at the same time.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:43:12] So then what exactly are we decoding and encoding, right? We all know like stand up straight and have a firm handshake or whatever. Like that's this sort of cliché Dale Carnegie stuff that we've all learned. Some of us do it, some of us don't. And we even parody this in the news, right? You see like zoom in on Trump's hand and there's like a thumb print from a crown on it.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:43:33] Yes, exactly. So this took me a long time to figure out my labs. So you know, as you know, we do tons of original research in our lab, and I was trying to think about, “Okay, there's all these nonverbal signals,” right? Like there is fronting and haptics and proxemics. I'm like, “What if we had to boil these down into like what are the basic buckets?” I think it comes down to two things, and that's confidence and engagement.
[00:43:59] So first, when we first meet someone, or even the second time, when we do first impressions, we're trying to assess their temporary and permanent confidence levels. So we're trying to figure out, is this person a competent person? Are they an alpha or are they very low confidence? And then also temporarily speaking from a mood perspective, is this person in a good mood or bad mood? Or like what is their confidence in this relationship and this interaction and this place? And so that's the very first thing we're trying to decode typically. That changes our encoding, so when we first meet someone, we're like, “Okay, decoding.” How are they standing? Are they really confident? Are they owning their space? And do they like me? Do they feel confident in me? They feel confident in the situation. That's what the first thing we're trying to figure out.
[00:44:46] And the second thing is engagement. So this is much more personal to us is how attentive will this person be to my needs, my feelings, and my wants? So the second thing we want.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:44:57] Huh?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:44:58] So this is with a lower high confident person, right? So whether you're an alpha or not, we want to know are you going to engage me? Are you going to be thinking about me? And so the very next thing we're trying to decode is, are you on my side? Are you on my team? Can I count on you? That all goes into loyalty, trustworthiness, rapport. I think those are the two things that we have to constantly be thinking about in our interactions is what are we decoding? Like, sorry, what are we encoding to others? And then what are people sending to us? Those two kind of buckets.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:45:30] Okay, so what do we do about this? If we know that there's a problem, like “Yes, of course, go sign up for people school, come to Advance Human Dynamics.” That's great, but what can we do right now? Like, “Oh my gosh, I know that I'm not communicating properly or I know that maybe I am communicating in a certain way, but other people aren't really feeling it like they're not feeling heard or whatever.” How do I engage better?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:45:52] Totally. So the absolute easiest and first thing you want to do is know that confidence comes first. What I mean by this and the biggest mistake that people make is they go after the engagement, and that's because we're selfish creatures, right? Like we want to feel attractive, we want someone to pay attention to us. And so we go into engagement first, which actually isn't the first thing you should do. So we tell funny stories, we try to be impressive, we try to convince people, we try to make the sale. Those are all engagement things. You cannot get to engagement stuff before you address confidence stuff.
[00:46:27] So there's two aspects of confidence, which is their confidence in themselves as well as their confidence in you in the situation. So you're much better off doing first is if there's a problem, if someone has low confidence either with themselves or in the situation is doing whatever you can to build up their confidence before you even begin to try to engage them, right? So this is great because this is ties into some of the classic Dale Carnegie stuff, which is, “How can I ask questions that make them feel like superheroes basically? Not sucking up, but I call this one of the concepts I teach to try to build confidence is finding out someone's pet or pest. So I think that everyone has like a pet project that they like love to talk about and it could be like a hobby, but it also could just be like something that -- someone gets obsessed with. Like I love talking about research and science, I geek out on that. That's one of my pet projects, and then also people have a pest and like a pest is like, have you heard of the missing tile syndrome?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:47:28] No, what is that?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:47:30] It's like, if you walk into a room with a tiled ceiling and there's one tile missing, your eye goes to the missing tile.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:47:37] Sure.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:47:38] Sure.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:47:38] And you also wonder why the heck you're at like at that dentist's office if they can't even afford a ceiling for the tiles.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:47:44] Exactly. Because it makes it look really shotty and really bad. So the missing tile syndrome is also this pest that a lot of people feel like they have like one tile missing and they are terrified you're going to notice and judge them for it. So from a confidence perspective, you want to focus on either one of those things. What is their pet? What do they love to talk about? What are they passionate. What are they geek out on? What's their hot button? And/or what's their pest, and how can I make them feel not judged for it, better about it? I'm like, “I don't care about that.”
Jordan Harbinger: [00:48:12] Interesting. So how do you elicit the pest? I'm so curious like, “Hey, I know you're probably sensitive about that really gross missing crooked-ish front tooth thing you got there, but I like it.” What do you do with it? What do you do with this?
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:48:25] Totally. So there's a lot of different ways. One is you can share yours. So like, for example, whenever I go to like nightclubs or bars that I hate, I make the best friends by sidling up to like a woman that's there. I'm married so I'm not hitting on anyone, but I sign up to a woman and I say, “Oh my God, my heels are killing me. All I want to do is be in my pajamas watching Netflix.” Right? Like I feel so uncomfortable, my pest is that I just hate those kinds of places. So I will then vulnerability share with her and the wrong woman, the one who would not be my friend is like, “Oh weird.” I’m like “Hello, bye. See you later.” Right? Like easy way for me to know. And the right woman who's a great friend for me, I've made great friends this way is like, “Right, I know.” Like “I can always just take off my spanks,” and I'm like, “Me too.” So like, that kind of back and forth is so sharing a vulnerability, also pretty quickly people will hit their pests. Like if you start listening, people will like drop little things. Like if someone's, you say, “How are you?” And they're like, “Ugh, one of those days.” Right? That's actually a lead in, and they could talk to you about their pest, if you ask the right question.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:49:42] You got to be careful. I feel like you could get some real dark stuff going there.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:49:46] Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, absolutely. I mean, you might have someone dump on you for an hour for sure. But the question is, is that worth it?
Jordan Harbinger: [00:49:54] Yes, it worth it. Exactly. It depends on what your CIA handlers are paying you to sidle up to this person. What about the positive stuff? Could we focus on positive things like you'd mentioned their pets. So if I'm looking to create a connection with an influencer or a speaker, an event that I'm going to, I usually research them beforehand. But what if I'm in the middle of something? I just met this person. It's might be a little weird to be like, “So what are you interested in these days? And they're like, “I'm just riding the subway man. Get away from me.”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:50:24] Totally. Well first of all, I'm a believer and this is just my personal opinion, that if you throw out a hook that's like that, that's like, “So what are you interested in these days?” And someone's like “ [indiscernible][0:50:35] and like they're like totally like lid on it. I don't know, you're not my person, but you know what I mean? Like if someone approaches me and like they're going to give me a hook, I'm going to try, like I'm going to try, I'm going to try and give them an answer. Like I don't do Debbie Downer, like that's just not my people. And so like one, they might be giving you a really great clue which is to walk away. They are not a great person. They will not be a fun date. They will not be a fun -- they will not be a good colleague, you don't want any coffee with them. So one you could just take it as is. And the other one is you ask very casual versions or more positive versions of your typical questions. So instead of what do you? You ask, “Working on anything exciting these days,” instead of “Got anything coming up?” You say, “Do you have any big projects coming up?” Like adding just slightly different words, like big or exciting, and seeing what pops into their head for them. I'm not just -- you're fishing, you're fishing for something good. And by the way, if someone -- if you ask three or four of those questions, and they literally can't think of anything, that should tell you something.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:51:33] Yeah, super boring person, and of course context matters. Like you're not really doing this on the subway. You're doing this at some friend's gathering, a barbecue, whatever. Some mixer, some speaking event, some sort of work thing. It's not like a random person on the street generally or especially on mass transit where people don't talk anyway.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:51:53] I mean, hey, like if you are brave enough to do it on a subway.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:51:56] I do that stuff but I admit that I'm the weirdo.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:52:00] But like, but like you could do it. I mean like, for example, on the subway, I'm not going to be like “Working on anything exciting recently?” Like no, I'm not going to do that. But if they're reading a book I could be like, “Hey, is it good?”
Jordan Harbinger: [00:52:11] Yeah, of course. Contextual, something easy like “Hey, I was looking at reading that, what do you think so far?”
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:52:15] Right or like, yeah, you like “Whole Foods, got any good snacks?” They have a Whole Foods bag, whatever. Like there are ways to do this where you're literally just hunting or fishing for good stuff and you can even do that on a subway.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:52:27] Awesome. Vanessa, a lot of practicals in there. Always a pleasure having you on board. I'd love to talk to you for longer, but I know at some point some part of you is going to get sore because that baby is just ready to knock.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:52:38] She's like, she's just like “Wah.” Like pushing on me.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:52:41] Stretching out. Yeah, she wants to go for a walk. So thank you very much for your time, and I guess next time I talked to you will have multiplied into two people.
Vanessa Van Edwards: [00:52:50] I cannot wait. Thank you so much for having me.
Jordan Harbinger: [00:52:54] Yeah. Always a great show here with Vanessa Van Edwards. A lot of new concepts here that we hadn't discussed before with nonverbal communication, always fascinating. And by the way, she did have the baby, and everything is great. Healthy young little baby there. Congratulations Vanessa! Great big thank you to Vanessa. Of course, her book is called Captivate, and her course is called People's School, and we'll be talking more about that when it's open later on in the fall. If you enjoyed this one, don't forget to thank Vanessa on Twitter or Instagram, and tell me your number one takeaway here from Vanessa Van Edwards. I'm @jordanharbinger on both Twitter and Instagram, and I'm doing a lot more on Instagram these days. Little videos of little productivity hacks, or I hate life hacks. I hate that term, Jason, but I don't really have a better -- I don't really have anything better to use to describe what I do there. Productivity tips, shortcuts.

And don't forget if you want to learn how to apply everything you heard from Vanessa Van Edwards, make sure you go grab the worksheets also in the show notes at jordanharbinger.com/podcast.

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Reflections on Women's History Month
Throughout March, archivists from the Smithsonian Institution Archives archivists blogged about the women scientists in the Science Service Records (1902-1965). Here is a reflection on their experience.
The Smithsonian Institution Archives’ recent participation in the Photography and the Smithsonian blog has been a fun and rewarding experience; it was the first foray into the blogosphere for most of us and it provided us with an opportunity to offer some insight not only into what we do as reference archivists, but more importantly, the significant contributions of the relatively unknown scientists in the “Women in Science” set of images. Most of the 82 images that make up “Women in Science” set were culled from our collection of Science Service Records, 1902-1965 (Accession 90-105.) There are thousands of images in this collection, many of which remain unidentified. We solicited your assistance in unlocking the secrets of these unidentified images and have been excited by your responses, two images have been positively identified and we now have leads on a few others.
The Smithsonian holds thousands of photographs for which the provenance is unknown. Many of our images lack detail regarding the subject, date, location, and/or photographer. We (the Smithsonian Institution Archives, “SIA” for those of us who speak in seemingly mandated acronyms; consider yourself a member of this often confusing fraternity) maintain Record Unit 95 as a central file of photographs documenting the history of the Institution. It is a combination of reference files which were created by various administrative offices of the Smithsonian, and individual photographs which have come in separately from other records or manuscript collections. The Thomas Smillie cyanotypes, one of the very first sets of images we posted on Flickr, is such a collection of images. Thanks to your assistance, we now have positive identifications for two of the Smillie cyanotypes.
We did not know what to expect when the call for identifications was posted about a month ago. I consider four confirmed positive identifications a tremendous success, and am excited for identifications which may follow. We encourage you to comment on an image you are able to identify or offer some insight. It would be very helpful if you could advise us how you came to the identification, including a web link to a source would be greatly appreciated. We review comments daily and will acknowledge your contribution via a comment upon confirming the identification.
Thank you for your efforts, and for viewing images posted by the Smithsonian.

Anybody can punch a hole in your flesh and jam in a hunk of metal, but it takes a certain amount of class and professional expertise to make you relax for the process. And its that vibe that makes Columbia Stations 252 Tattoo a favorite not just with 18-year-olds celebrating their newfound independence, but also with housewives who have decided theyre never too old for a nose ring. Of course, the fact that the shop is clean helps too. Lined with vintage pinup art, 252 is decorated like an old-school tattoo parlor, but hygiene rules the modern shop. Needles are properly disposed of after one use, and all other implements are steam-sterilized in an autoclave and blasted with an ultrasonic cleanse for good measure. But best of all is the atmosphere. Despite spending their adult lives up to their elbows in navels and nipples, the staffers dont have the been there, done that, dont bother us attitude you find in some body-art emporiums. If youre excited, theyre excited. If youre nervous, theyre calming. And if youre not sure what youre looking for, theyll take the time to help you figure out exactly what you want and exactly where you want it. Even if you want it there.

Cellulitis is one of the most painful, quickly spreading and potentially deadly types of infections that can be caused by Staph or MRSA. Because these infections are becoming more common, it’s best to know what to look for and what to do if you think you have it. MRSA cellulitis can take a long time to get rid of. And like other types of MRSA and Staph, it is prone to recurring and can be difficult to treat.
Fortunately, there are both antibiotic drug and potent alternative options for controlling cellulitis. Becoming more familiar with the symptoms, risk factors and treatment options below is a good first step if you’re struggling with an infection.
What is cellulitis?
Cellulitis is a deep infection of the skin and the underlying tissues. If left unchecked, cellulitis can quickly lead to more dangerous infections of the blood (sepsis), bone (osteomyelitis) and heart (endocarditis) and in some cases tissue death (gangrene).
Cellulitis infections are most common on the lower legs, face and arms, but they can occur anywhere on the body. Children often get this infection on their bottom. The most common symptoms are red, warm and tender skin, but these infections can have many other symptoms as well. Looking a cellulitis pictures can be a helpful tool. Possible warning signs and indications of cellulitis include:
- Redness of the skin area, which often grows in size over time
- Swelling or inflammation of the area, which often gets bigger over time
- Red streaks radiating outward may occur, which often spread outward over time
- Pain and tenderness in the area
- Skin that is warm to the touch in the infected area.
- Skin sores, bumps and small pimples can sometimes occur
- A rash or red patches in the area may occur
- Skin sometimes appears stretched, tight or shiny in the area
- Fever, chills, sweating or shaking can occur
- Feeling ill, weak or having muscle aches can occur
- Nausea, joint stiffness and hair loss in the area may occur in some cases
Who’s at risk?
There are many risk factors for cellulitis, some more significant than others. Any of the factors below, either by themselves or in combination, can increase the risk of catching cellulitis:
- Any cuts, scrapes, cracks, burns, blisters or open wounds on the skin provide an easy entry for bacteria.
- Surgical wounds, catheter sites and IV injection sites are very common places to get cellulitis and other infections.
- Dry or peeling skin, Athlete’s foot, eczema, shingles, chickenpox and other skin conditions can make your skin more vulnerable to getting infected.
- Insect or animal bites or stings can easily become infected.
- The elderly and people with weakened immune system have a higher risk of cellulitis and other infections.
- A long term stay in a hospital, nursing home or other healthcare facility can increase your exposure to MRSA and many other infections.
- Taking medications that depress the immune system, including corticosteroids and antirejection drugs, make you more prone to infections in general.
- Ulcers caused by Diabetes or vascular disease are a risk factor.
- Swollen legs or arms caused by either medical conditions (such as cirrhosis, scleroderma or congestive heart failure) or by medications (such as diuretics or water pills) increase the risks of cellulitis.
- Conditions that weaken the immune system, including diabetes, HIV/AIDS, circulatory disorders, liver disease, kidney disease and leukemia can make you more prone to many types of infection.
- IV drug use is another risk factor for many types of infection.
What should you do?
Cellulitis can be quite dangerous and should be taken very seriously. If you think you have cellulitis, it’s best to get medical attention as soon as possible. If the infection is spreading or growing, or if it causes chills or fever, it’s crucial to get immediate medical attention. These infections are even more serious if they occur on your face or in other sensitive areas of the body.
Antibiotics are the most common mainstream medical treatment for cellulitis. Mild cases are often treated with oral antibiotics that can be taken at home. Moderate and severe infections are usually treated with IV antibiotics in a hospital. Recovery can take a few days to several months, depending on the severity of the infection and other complicating health problems.
While there are several natural remedies that can be used for treatment, it’s best to be under the close supervision of a doctor for these challenging infections, regardless of which treatments you use. Natural remedies of high potency taken in larger doses are usually needed. Because higher doses of any natural product can lead to sensitivity, detoxification, liver toxicity and other symptoms, it’s best if your doctor is familiar with these symptoms and the particular remedy you are using.
Short-term use of therapeutic grade oregano oil taken internally in moderate to high doses is one natural method that has been used. Other essential oils, such as ravensara, clove and cinnamon bark, have been used internally for challenging infections, along with milder oils, such as tea tree, for external skin support. High doses of stabilized allicin and specialized medicinal herbal blends, such as Olive Leaf extract, have also been used for these infections. As with any natural remedy, treatment alone is usually not enough. Additional steps should be taken to boost the immune system and repair damage done by bacteria and drugs, especially for severe infections.
Depending on the circumstances, both antibiotic drugs and natural remedies have been used together. Getting your mainstream medical doctor to collaborate with your Naturopathic Doctor is one of the best ways to get comprehensive holistic health care.
To your best health,
Microbiologist and Natural Health Expert

TAKS vs STAAR
STAAR is the new standardized test in the state of Texas that will assess the knowledge and the skills of the students in elementary and secondary school classes from grade 3 to grade 11. It replaces the old standardized assessment test called TAKS. It becomes necessary for students to know the differences between TAKS and STAAR to improve their scores in STAAR. This article takes a closer look at TAKS and STAAR to come up with their differences.
Texas Education Agency (TEA) started making use of STAAR and not TAKS, to assess the knowledge and skills of students from grade 3-11 from the academic session 2011-2012. STAAR is an acronym that stands for State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness. STAAR is the successor to TAKS, also called Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills. It is being introduced in line with the requirements set forth in 80th and 81st Texas legislatures. The new system will assess the readiness of the graduating High School students to ensure that the students of Texas are competitive with the students of other states and also with international students.
In TAKS, a student could take as long as he wanted to complete the test. He could also choose not to answer some of the questions. There is no time pressure, and the student does not need to think a lot. In comparison, a student has to think critically and answer more questions in less time in STAAR. The exam is timed, and the student has to write three essays in different formats. The new tests are more rigorous and assess a deeper level of understanding of the students. STAAR measures readiness to graduate to a higher grade and it focuses on the content that has been taught the previous year rather than on multiple years as was the focus in TAKS. In most of the subjects, STAAR has more questions than TAKS. The new test is also more subjective than TAKS as there are fewer multiple choice questions in STAAR.
STAAR vs. TAKS
• STAAR assesses readiness to graduate to a higher grade whereas TAKS assesses knowledge and skill gained over multiple years.
• STAAR is more subjective than TAKS.
• STAAR is believed to be more rigorous than TAKS.
• There is a time limit in STAAR that was not there in TAKS.
• There are fewer multiple choice questions in STAAR than TAKS.
• STAAR is believed to be harder than TAKS.
• TAKS was not timed while there is a 4 hour time limit in STAAR.

Syracuse, NY - Country singer Trisha Yearwood will be visiting - and entertaining - students, faculty and parents at St. Mary's Elementary School in Cortland this afternoon.
It's all part of the joint effort by the Campbell's "Labels for Education" program and the Grammy Foundation to provide school resources for a well-rounded musical education.
Syracuse Roman Catholic Diocese spokeswoman Danielle Cummings said Yearwood - wife of country superstar Garth Brooks - will be at St. Mary's today to participate in a panel conversation with other music industry professionals about the importance of the arts and music in education.
Yearwood then is scheduled to perform for the students, their parents and faculty at the school, Cummings said.
Cummings said the school won the visit from Yearwood as a result of being entered in the "Labels for Education" program.
That's a program where schools can earn points - redeemable for school supplies and resources - by collecting labels from Campbell's products. A company website noted more than $110 million in educational resources and equipment has been provided to schools since the "Labels for Education" program began in 1973.
In this time of schools being strapped for resources, the Campbell's program provides a welcome source of support, Cummings said, noting it was thrilling to have Yearwood visiting a school in the diocese as a result.

Noise increasingly dominates our politics. Yell louder, scream longer, rant often, so your point is heard and, more importantly, your opponent’s views are silenced. Faux outrage works until the audience becomes bored or something more outrageous appears in the political arena.
AATC advocacy efforts operate in this chaotic environment. From the supreme court nominee debate to potential presidential impeachment and bathroom bills to local-control, distractions abound. In politics, it is easy to get pulled into an unwinnable fight.
AATC members must resist the temptation to respond to every social media post that ruffles our political feathers.
All of us hold deeply-personal political views on economic policy, social issues, and national security matters. Our faith, background, experience, demographic, and socio-economic status inform and form these beliefs. When involved with AATC advocacy, our collective challenge is to subordinate our personal pollical opinions in favor of those that benefit AATC. Personal political passion is great. Channeling that enthusiasm is better. Being a part of a credible, trustworthy, and reliable multifamily advocacy effort is best.
AATC is a non-partisan organization. AATC supports candidates and public policies that support multifamily housing industry opposes those that adversely impact the industry. AATC advocacy is all about residential rental housing. Nothing more, nothing less. If it is good for AATC members, we are for it. If it is bad for AATC members, we are against it.

Sceletium Tortuosum (Kanna)
Kanna has been used
by South African pastoralists and hunter-gatherers as a mood-altering
substance since prehistoric times.
Traditionally, dried plant material is often chewed as a quid, and the
juices swallowed, but it has also been made into teas and tinctures. It
also has been inhaled as a snuff, or smoked, sometimes with the addition
of other herbs,
by the Hottentot
and Bushmen tribes of South Africa.
elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress and tension, and it has also
been used as an appetite suppressant by shepherds walking long distances
in arid areas. Higher doses can cause euphoria, initially with stimulation
and later with sedation. It has been suggested by some that Kanna can
potentiate the effects of alcohol and cannabis. No addiction or
adverse side effects have been associated with Kanna.
Our Kanna is not powdered, but ground into a fine smoking consistency.
Many people will chew a small pinch of Kanna with chewing gum (chewing 1/4
gram would be a strong dose).
Kanna 5:1 extract. This
powdered extract is five times stronger than Kanna herb. A very small
amount of Kanna extract will produce the same result as a larger amount of Kanna powder.
The active constituents of Sceletium tortuosum are
mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol and tortuosamine. Mesembrine, the
major alkaloid present, is a serotonin-uptake inhibitor (SSRI), like the
anti-depressant Prozac. Sceletium must
never be combined with an SSRI, MAOI,
or other psychiatric medications, cardiac
medications or any other medications.

The Pilgrim's Regress (1933), Lewis's first prose work' explains in allegory the elusive experience he calls Joy and its part in his conversion. Prayer: Letters to Malcolm (1964) was Lewis's last book in which he corresponds with an imaginary friend on various aspects of prayer. Reflections of the Psalms (1958) shares Lewis's thoughts on the Psalms which he knew almost by heart through daily attendance at his college chapel. The Abolition of Man (1944) examines the importance and relevance of universal values such as courage and honour in contemporary society. Till We Have Faces (1956), described by Lewis as the favourite of all my books, retells and interprets the story of Cupid and Psyche.

Hey guys, a quick question if this thing i'm trying to do is even possible. I have a layer which is something like an inventory. It is global. When I drag n drop sprite objects inside, I move them to said layer. Then after changing layouts, they are not there - but the rest of the layer is...as it is unused in the editor. Any clue how I can overcome this?

Davidson County Community College Nursing Students Provide Thanksgiving Meal to Those in Need for Second Year
Nov 27, 2013 – Thanksgiving came early for residents of Crisis Ministries of Davidson County as nursing students from Davidson County Community College welcomed them to the Davidson Campus on Tuesday, Nov 26, for an evening of food, fellowship and entertainment.
For the second straight year, guests of the event were served a traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey, dressing, yams, assorted sides and desserts. Nearly 85 guests from the Lexington shelter were served along with residents of Genesis House, the family arm of Crisis Ministries. In addition to the holiday meal, needs-challenged guests received gift bags filled with personal hygiene items and winter accessories, such as gloves and hats, and for those with children, gift bags containing crayons and coloring books were distributed.
Students developed this outreach program using the ADPIE (Assess, Diagnose, Plan, Implement, Evaluate) nursing process. They first identified a need in the community, and then developed an action plan to solve the problem much like they would in a clinical setting.
“Going into a field where compassion and community service are so important, we’re thankful that we, as students at DCCC, are able to reach out and help those in need,” says Tim Myers, a DCCC nursing student and coordinator of the event. “Many people won’t get a hot meal at Thanksgiving, and this is just a small gesture on our part.”
Myers notes the event would not be possible without the assistance of businesses, groups and individuals from the community. Contributions were received from Rick’s Restaurant of Denton, The Barbecue Center, Cagney’s of Midway, Stamey’s BBQ of Tyro, Terry House Barbecue, Southern Lunch, Orrell’s Food Service, Merita Bakery, Sweet Josephine’s Gourmet Cupcakes of High Point, Food Lion, Lee Warehouse, Thomasville City Schools, Thomasville Medical Center, Lexington Medical Center and The Storm Cellar at DCCC. Guitarist and vocalist Ken McIver Davis performed musical selections throughout the evening and transportation to and from the event was provided by Freedom Baptist Church.
Transporting the dinner guests to DCCC allowed the students to introduce them to the campus environment and hopefully remove some of the intimidation that may accompany the thought of attending college. Information was provided on how to apply for classes and financial aid.
“We, as nursing students, are proud to lead by example, and our hope is that this event will continue to grow,” Myers says. “When we think about the joy and appreciation the group from Crisis Ministries has shown toward us, the satisfaction on our part is well worth the effort that was put forth.”
DCCC nursing instructor Kaye Fuson notes that the student-generated event shows that these future nurses understand their very human role as both nurse and community member. For some, the project takes months of preparation while, at the same time, being immersed in a demanding nursing program.
“Our students brought this idea to me last year, and I had no idea the impact it would have until I attended,” Fuson says. “The feel is not that of a charity event but a fellowship. The music makes it like a social event, and yet it is serving such a need. This can’t be recreated in a clinical setting, and it shows the meaning of community.”
*Editor’s note: Pictured are (left to right) DCCC nursing instructor Kaye Fuson, event organizer, nursing student Tim Myers and Mattie Pritchett, president of the Davidson Community College Association of Nursing Students (DCCANS) as they prepare to greet and feed guests from Crisis Ministries of Davidson County and Genesis House.
Founded in 1963, Davidson County Community College is noted for its quality educational programs and services. As one of 58 institutions within the North Carolina Community College System, DCCC offers studies in more than 50 degree programs. A fully-accredited, multi-campus college, DCCC celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. It is committed to developing minds, inspiring imaginations, and preparing students for enhanced career and educational opportunities within a changing global environment.

State-owned miner Solid Energy says the "energy potential" of its lignite deposits in Southland is clear, but there are still open questions over the carbon footprint of any projects to develop them.
The company told MPs today that these yet-to-be-resolved issues will be an important part of any evaluation of the projects, but it did not accept that they were automatically not viable because of the carbon costs that coal could incur.
Solid Energy chief executive Don Elder told the commerce select committee that for a business to be sustainable, it had to not only be economically viable, but also be supported by the public in matters such as health and safety, environment, and reputation.
The company has said that it will soon lodge resource consent applications with Gore District Council and Environment Southland to build and operate a demonstration briquetting plant at the former Mataura mine site in Southland, and it is also looking at turning its lignite into diesel fuel, and nitrogen-based urea fertiliser.
Dr Elder said that if all those projects were started up in some scale, then the gross greenhouse gas emissions from the coal was likely to be equivalent to 10 million to 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
But the company was planning the economics of the project to account for the costs of those emissions, without free allocations of carbon credits from the taxpayer.
It would be possible and feasible to use approaches such as mixing synthetic diesel with biofuels, carbon capture and storage, and planting trees, to reduce the net emissions, or the company could pay someone elsewhere in the world to do this for it.
The marginal supply of fertiliser and diesel elsewhere in the world would also be from coal, and it might be cheaper to make these things in New Zealand than to import them.
New Zealand has 10 to 15 billion tonnes of lignite resources, mostly located in Southland.
Dr Elder discounted criticism of the proposed project from the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Jan Wright -- who has been following the lignite-to-fuel issue for more than 20 years -- who said that using lignite would cause large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly making diesel from lignite.
Dr Wright has recommended that Climate Change Issues Minister Nick Smith change the Governments emissions trading scheme (ETS) so that new industries which use lignite on a large scale are specifically excluded from receiving free carbon credits.
But Dr Elder said Dr Wright did not have the information to address the economics of lignite.
"She is quite correct -- there are potentially significant negative national issues," he said. "We believe they can be addressed and managed very well" .
There were also huge positive issues which a broad national discussion could cover.
Dr Elder said outside the select committee that the company was looking at a wide range of options for handling carbon emissions, including the possibility of eventually piping carbon out to sea and pumping it into sea-floor oil or gas well, after the Great South Basin has been developed.
He said an earlier idea, building a stainless steel pipeline from Southland to carry carbon north to be injected into an old Maui gas well, was less likely.

New Holland Concise Seashore Wildlife Guide |192 Pages | New Holland/The Wildlife Trust | Paperback| 2012 | ISBN-978-1-84773-786-1 |
I am quite lucky, my old man lives by the sea (the not so glamorous Margate, Kent) so I and my family have free (well travel expenses aside) trips to the coast pretty much when we want (assuming he isn’t off on one of his world trips), what this really means is that we get to explore the nature of the rock pools and seashore (assuming we can drag the kids away from the beach or arcade for five minutes), so when we were offered a copy of the New Holland Concise Seashore Wildlife Guide we jumped at it.
New Holland Concise Seashore Wildlife Guide
The book is small, another of their pocket guides, but still manages to cover 15 chapters ; Seaweeds, Flowering Plants, Lichens, Sponges, Jellyfishes, Sea-anemones, Bristle Worms, Molluscs, Crustaceans, Insects, Sea-Spiders, Echinoderms, Fishes, Birds and Mammals . as with the Concise Pond Wildlife Guide each subject is split to individual species accounts written on a one page per subject basis with a drawing and a small blurb about each one (with the exception of the birds where species sometimes share pages). And again there is a pull out comparison “poster” at the rear of the plastic cover book for extra help.
Again as with my previous review of Concise pond wildlife the images in this book are fantastic but alas only one per species so are a little limiting and the writing although helping doesn’t have as much detail as I would like, but this is the sort of trade off you have to accept for a concise pocket guide.
We have not used this book as much as I would like us to we just haven’t made it to the coast as often as we would like (sorry Nana and granddad, although this review is posting while we are visiting them), but when we have taken it out with us it has helped us to identify a few creatures, or more accurately their shells.
Bo loves it, as she can carry it around easily and then becomes the keeper of the information (which she loves), as I said earlier I would prefer a book with more, but that is probably just me, I like a good bulky field guide even if my back doesn’t!
Light, easy to carry, and full of great drawings, we do love the book and have found it really useful, the kids are happy with it, so it is just me that wants more. The low cost makes it cheap enough to not worry about taking out around the dangers of the sea so it is an ideal family book, you just may want to supplement it with a more detailed book for use at home.

Aggressors take stupid risks only when they feel they won't be stopped, and in the Age of The One, there are no stupid risks; Guess what? The Russians want back their nuclear first-strike capability! Guess that "reset" button worked after all, huh?; Putin’s invasion may be nothing new to Obama, but for Ukraine, it changed everything; The Islamic State is using the Obama-Snowden mass intelligence leaks to evade U.S. surveillance, but don't worry, Red Barry won't let congressional Republicans find out about it, because that would be the only "leak" that really matters; and journalists, academics, and other hard-left analingualists portray Obama’s fecklessness as cleverness. So why does the expression, "Too clever by half" come ominously to mind?

Steven Grant Reloads for More Buddy Cop Action in 3 GUNS
3 Guns #1 cover
CREDIT: BOOM! Studios
You saw the movie, now read the sequel.
With the comic-book-turned-blockbuster-movie 2 Guns with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg still going strong in movie houses this week, you can already plunk down some change to read what happens next – in the story’s original form, comics. Launched last month, the miniseries 3 Guns sees writer/creator Steven Grant returning to his successful “buddy cop” franchise to tell what happens after those end-credit scenes with Trench and Stigman – and doing it in a special effects budget only comic books can afford.
In 3 Guns, Steven Grant is joined by up-and-coming artist Emilio Laiso to take Steadman and Trench out of the frying pan and into the fire – the crossfire, that is. Already on the run from the federal government and drug kingpins, 3 Guns sees the duo at odds with new threats from the Russian mafia and some rebellious anti-American revolutionaries. And as the title suggests, Steadman and Trench have a new partner that they might get along even less than they get along with each other.
Newsarama: Steve, where does 3 Guns pick up after the end of the first series, 2 Guns?
Steven Grant: Somewhere in the neighborhood of a couple of years. They haven’t had any contact since the end of 2 Guns. Bobby’s hiding out on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state, keeping a very low profile. Marcus has been a little more active, but nothing Bobby would’ve heard about. Then they suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the situation.
Nrama: In this one you have Marcus and Bobby getting along just enough to go against some Russians and some homegrown revolutionists. What’s the score?
Grant: Getting along is a stretch. The Russians & the anti-government gang are doing a gun deal, with the latter buying from the former. The gang becomes aware of the Bobby Beans story and are so impressed they blackmail him into stealing their money back from the Russians after the deal goes down. When scoping out the Russians, Bobby spots a very familiar face, and he’s not very pleased by the development. In fact, he finds it quite suspicious.
Nrama: In the original Bobby and Marcus were as much feuding with each other as they were the bad guys – has their relationship developed much in this new serial?
Grant: It has deteriorated, because of their situations. Neither’s with their old agencies anymore, due to the fallout from 2 Guns, and both have been off the grid, so neither of them can trust a thing the other one says. But they end up striking a bargain that’s really them sort of blackmailing each other to keep their covers from being blown, since they’re both hooked up with very violent men who’d kill either or both of them in an instant if there was ever a whiff they were ever government. It’s less a mutual admiration society than a mutually assured destruction pact. It’s a common story, really; you know someone in one context, then you don’t see them for a long time, then you’re thrown in with them in a new context and you just aren’t sure where you stand with them. That’s Bobby and Marcus at the beginning of 3 Guns.
Nrama: The title of the original refers to two competing government agents, Bobby Trench and Marcus Steadman. Who’s this third gun coming in?
Grant: Let’s just say there’s someone else involved who’s running games on them both, aware of their legends but unaware of their real names or real pasts. But that person also has a rather sketchy backstory and is juggling more balls than they can handle. Like Bobby and Marcus, their official status is pretty questionable; for them, this is intended to be a career-repairing operation, but they end up moving the wrong Jengo piece.
Nrama: You wrote 3 Guns with the shadow of the 2 Guns movie in development. Did that movie influence the story of 3 Guns?
Grant: Only insofar as I didn’t want to do anything that directly contradicts the film. We all understand that the books are the books and the movies are the movies, and the former are my work and the latter their work. I’m not going to kill either of the main characters, obviously, or have them turn radically evil or anything like that but I wasn’t going to do that anyway, and no one from Boom! nor the movie side has hinted that I should change anything. I think they want to be surprised too.
Nrama: The original book came out back in 2006, and you’d been thinking about it for awhile before that. Did you think much about the continuing adventures of these characters in the off-time between finishing 2 Guns and before the movie got off the ground?
Grant: Honestly, I didn’t. Every time I’ve ever thought of sequels to projects, those sequels never happen. So with 2 Guns, I just wanted to do a single story that I was happy with. Obviously, it’s open-ended in that the heroes are still alive at the end, but until Ross Richie said last summer, “Better think up a story for 3 Guns,” I hadn’t given it any thought at all. Not consciously, anyway. Within about four hours of being asked I had the rough framework for the story, so on some level I must’ve been thinking about it.
Nrama: You read stories online of comics being optioned as movies seemingly everyday; several of your own have been optioned. At what point in the 2 Guns movie process did it turn from just another option deal to being a real thing?
Grant: By the third time they renewed the option, and it was a decent option price, it was pretty clear someone was intent on getting it made. It wasn’t just the sort of Russian roulette production companies often play with properties. I was never sure until filming began it was actually going to happen, but I was pretty sure people were out there working very hard to make it happen, especially Ross Richie, Adam Siegel and Mark Wahlberg.
Nrama: You’ve got a great assortment of other creator-owned works that seem like possible stories for movies, from My Flesh is Cool to my favorite, Damned with Mike Zeck. Any news on any of your other comics being adapted in some way or another?
Grant: Mortal Souls was optioned awhile back and is proceeding slowly, and My Flesh Is Cool was set up for awhile, then fell through as is common with movies, but suddenly we’re (Shane Riches, the producer I work with on some projects, and I) getting a lot of action on it again, so maybe. Damned is definitely a possibility, especially with the re-release out from BOOM! on July 31. There are a few other things.
Nrama: It’s great to see you returning to comics; can we look forward to seeing you do more work in the feature, either creator-owned like new Whisper stories or working with a company?
Grant: I have recently gotten the urge to do some new Whisper material, so I’m considering storylines and publication options at the moment. I already have another project set with Boom! that ought to be announced fairly soon, and we’re in discussion on a couple others. Considering how well BOOM! has treated me with 2 Guns, I’ll probably be doing most new work there for the foreseeable future, especially since they’re eager to build my crime comics into a sub-genre. At minimum, they have a first look option on everything as far as I’m concerned.

Government Engagement: Getting Employees to Stay
This article accompanies Agents of Change.
On the first day of her job as the HR business partner for the City of Baltimore’s Department of General Services, Catherine Burns recalls how concerned the DGS director, Steven Sharkey, and chief of staff, Gary Holland, were about a mass exodus. Nearly 75 percent of the staff was eligible for retirement.
“For an agency that’s all mechanics and building repairs, that could end up hurting us,” she says, adding that HR now examines its retirement rate every two months and kicks up recruitment when needed. “We also wanted to know why employees in DGS’ four divisions—administration, facilities, major projects and fleet management—wanted to stay. What did they like about the culture?”
Burns joined the city in 2008 as an intern. The following year, she was hired as a personnel generalist and then promoted to her current role in 2014. Since then, she’s made significant HR changes involving training and development, succession planning and employee engagement. She is considered the department’s go-to person for any personnel-related action.
Under Burns’ leadership, HR developed a stay-interview process, in which members of her team conduct face-to-face interviews with 350 department members about their likes and dislikes of their jobs. HR then analyzes this information and shares it with each division chief so internal adjustments can be made about training, job assignments, office culture or anything else that would attract and retain skilled workers.
So far, employees in three out of the four divisions have been surveyed, in addition to new hires after six months on the job. Employees also respond to a Gallup poll referred to as Q12 that asks unique questions such as, “Do you have a best friend at work?” Burns says this process helps keep turnover low, which she projects to be less than 15 percent.
Boosting Morale and Engagement
For many years, DGS supported a customer-service committee that consisted of two members from each DGS division. But when Burns came on board, she changed the committee’s name and focus to employee engagement, which aims to increase engagement and morale through employee recognition.
Three years ago, the employee-of-the-month program was launched across the company. Any employee can nominate a peer or supervisor, and the committee reviews the nominations, selecting one person per month from all four divisions. The winner receives a certificate and one day off from work.
Another HR initiative—the Allstars program—was introduced last year. Every month, each division chief recognizes an individual or entire team. Besides receiving a certificate, division chiefs generally treat winners to lunch, or if it’s a team, a pizza party.
“Top leadership makes sure [division chiefs] go to each other’s events so employees know [they’re seen] as important,” Burns says.
So Much Left to Do
With a bachelor of science degree from Penn State University in business administration, Burns believes she has a “nice foundation” for the HR field, since her education exposed her to various aspects of finance, management and marketing, which complement HR. Her master’s degree in HR development from Towson University also prepared her for advanced HR positions.
But Burns says there’s more she hopes to learn and accomplish. Besides her degrees, she also earned a professional HR certification and was named a certified professional by the Society of HR Management. She is also planning to obtain a senior professional in HR designation, the highest HR certification.
Meanwhile, Burns is getting her feet wet in mediation and arbitration.
“If, in 20 years, someone says, ‘Catherine, here’s a great opportunity … to be director of some big, huge organization,’ I want to jump at it,” she explains. “I want to have those skills behind me, helping union or non-union employees have fewer issues amongst themselves.”
Holland, who’s also Burns’ boss, says she now works closely with the city’s labor commission on employee-relations issues. She appears to have a natural ability to present management’s viewpoint to bargaining units and negotiate fair compromises or resolutions, Holland says.
But that’s only part of her career plan. Burns is determined to build the best HR office within the city of Baltimore by creating a knowledgeable and skilled HR team from the ground up. Whether employees walk in off the street with a high-school diploma or if they apply with advanced college degrees in HR, she says, “We all have a little bit we can give and learn from each other.”
Regardless of her role or responsibilities, Burns is committed to evolving the HR profession.
“Until people recognize HR as a true profession, not just a bunch of paper pushers … they’re not going to understand our importance,” Burns says. “The more my director and chief of staff see the importance of HR, the more the environment expands, the more I’m going to hopefully see that HR has a seat at the table and is seen as a profession just like lawyers, nurses or teachers.”
Holland says Burns has definitely earned her seat at the leadership table—so much so that he can easily envision her as the city’s future chief human capital manager.
“She excels in the human-capital side of things,” he says. “People recognize that she knows what she’s talking about and looks out for their best interests. She is well-respected … and really helps us come to the best decisions.”

I’m working from home today.
I wasn’t originally planning to, but I woke up and didn’t want to get out of my snuggly warm bed and started thinking about what I had to do today and that I didn’t have any meetings I needed to be in the office for, and decided that I had a much better chance of actually being productive on the things I have to do if I work from here. It’s a bit odd, I admit, but I’ve found that if I have to write and/or edit long-ish reports, I can’t focus on them in my office and it drags out interminably and the end result is almost always spotty and choppy and generally not my best work. However, doing the same tasks from home usually results in more coherent, well written work. I think this is a throw-back to when I was in grad school because I wrote all my papers at home and there’s some mental switch that is stuck in a position where “home == writing” and “office == productivity”. No, they’re not mutually exclusive – I write short memos and newsletters and reports in my office all the time, and I can be equally productive with data no matter where I am – but for longer reports, that’s how it seems.
(For the record, my lovely new very comfy chair was an early birthday gift from Jack. We tend to spend a lot of time hanging out in the den this time of year listening to audiobooks and I didn’t have a really comfy chair to sit in up here, so he got me this one. It’s a glider rocker & recliner and I love it. This is the chair that I most often knit in lately, as evidenced by the proximity of the ball winder, the back of Peek a Boo draped over the chair, and the ball of yarn in the seat. That paper over the radio is the bucket hat pattern Jack got me from Chic Knits, and underneath it behind the tissue box are leftover skeins from a few projects back. Tucked in behind the chair where you can’t see it is my felt knitting bag which has the in-progress front of Peek a Boo and a smallish stack of knitting books, including Inspired Cable Knits, Sensational Knitted Socks, Folk Socks, the Tied Up Tee pattern, and the latest copy of Interweave Knits.)
It doesn’t hurt that it’s a grey, rainy, foggy day, either. A day like this in my office feels oppressive; at home, it’s just encouragement to snuggle in. *shrug*

External rewards (like a brownie!) don’t always meet the moment when you are building a positive life from within.
Posted in , Nov 18, 2020
There’s nothing like the satisfaction of having reached a goal, accomplished a task or checked something off a list. When that goal, task or list is stress-inducing, many of us face the temptation to motivate ourselves across the finish line by focusing on an external reward.
Too often—and I’m speaking for myself here—that external reward is fun and enjoyable, but also ironically counter to the healthy or positive habit I’m trying to foster. Like the brownies I “earned” by meeting an exercise goal last week.
So I’ve been thinking about ways to focus on the rewards that are intrinsic to a positive activity, rather than looking outside of myself for validation and joy.
What are intrinsic rewards? Psychologists say intrinsic rewards are benefits inherent to the completion of a task. These might include:
--A sense of personal pride
--The pleasure of doing an activity
--Enjoying an environment (like a natural space)
--The joy of time spent with a special person
--Recognizing progress toward a long-term goal
--Pride in your perseverance
Recognizing the intrinsic rewards that come with our daily activities is only the first step. We also have to remember to acknowledge our intrinsic rewards, celebrate them and allow them to wash over us in real time. Next time I finish a workout, I will take a moment to feel proud of myself and enjoy the pleasant tiredness of having worked hard at something I’ve committed to.
And the brownie? It won’t be forbidden, exactly, but it won’t be an anticipated prize or the reason I put on my exercise clothes and get moving. The most important rewards, after all, are those that come from within.

This article is about the dog breed. This trait also gives the Basenji the nickname “barkless dog”.

An article published called The Intelligence of Dogs by Stanley Coren, Ph. 78 out of 79, which is the second to lowest rank in intelligence. Some consider this an unreliable list, as it focuses on only the ability to listen to a first command.

It is likely that nearly all the Basenjis in the Western world are descended from these few original imports. The breed was officially accepted into the AKC in 1943. In 1990, the AKC stud book was reopened to 14 new imports at the request of the Basenji Club of America. The stud book was reopened again to selected imported dogs from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2013. The popularity of the Basenji in the United States, according to the American Kennel Club, has declined over the past decade, with the breed ranked 71st in 1999, decreasing to 84th in 2006, and to 93rd in 2011.

Just Another Way Of Saying It
Have you ever had anyone say to you, “That’s just another reason to say it”? What exactly did they mean when they said that?
The person who said this to me I think was just telling me that there is more than one way to say stuff. What they were saying to me was that they had another way of tell me what they meant.
It seems now days people don’t say what they mean. They talk in circles and hope you don’t get it and when you catch them in a lie they say that it was just another way of saying it.
I am really tired of people talking out the side of their mouths and not just saying it like it is. What is wrong with just telling the truth right up front?
I was in the store the other day and I ask a question about something and the sales person just rambled on and on and as far as I could tell they didn’t know squat what they were talking about. Then another sales person came up and told me straight what I wanted to know. Guess what the first salesman said to their explanation? That’s another way of saying it. It just made me laugh because some people think you are stupid. They think you don’t know what is going on and so they try to take advantage of the situation. I hope you never do that.

Via TMW I've learned that Consumers Union has an advocacy campaign for toy safety. They want inspections funded and they want a real inspection program.
Of course I signed up immediately. They generate email to senators and file names.
Kmart's lead jewelry was the most recent episode I've commented on. It's only one of many such.
Highly recommended, though of course what we really need is to get the GOP out of the government.
