Social Psychology
Research Summary
My research focuses on how our emotions affect other people (and how they affect other people's emotions). The guiding idea is that emotions align and configure our relations with other people and regulate their orientations towards objects and events in the environment. For example, I may express worry to a friend as a way of getting them to consider a previously underestimated threat, or get angry with someone to indicate that they should feel guilty and make reparations. Attention to the interpersonal context for emotion expression may permit us to understand some of the maladaptive effects of certain otherwise functionally useful emotions, and to improve emotional communication in close relationships. My current research uses experimental, observational, and diary-based methods. For example, recent studies have focused on how expressed worry or anxiety affects other people. My experiments show that expressed anxiety leads other people to moderate their risk-taking when losses are not their central focus. Further, a recent observational study of romantic partners discussing shared concerns indicates that people use worry and calm expression to regulate their partners' emotions, and that the way they do this depends on the characteristic level of expressiveness and emotional engagement of their partners. Individuals who show less emotion tend to elicit greater worry presentation from their partners. These processes also operate differently in men and women.

Authentic Japanese Jikiden Reiki Treatments in Sutton Coldfield
What is Reiki?
The word Reiki means 'soul energy'. Reiki in its complete nature is a practice of healing and personal development of both body and mind that originated in Japan. The wisdom of Eastern systems of medicine and healing have understood for thousands of years that we live in a world of energy, which flows through all life, the balanced flow of energy within a person being considered to be the foundation of health and well-being. Using this natural life energy Reiki is believed to work by stimulating the clearance of both stagnation and disruptions to energy flow, as well as supporting the effective function of the body's natural healing mechanisms to promote balance and has historically been used in Japan for a wide range of issues. Reiki offers a natural therapeutic approach that is completely safe and can help people in many ways, including: reducing stress, relaxation, emotional well-being, improving sleep among other benefits. Reiki can also help people with deeper challenges and tends to help people migrate towards a place of greater peace within themselves, which can have profoundly positive effects to a person's life.
"After each Jikiden Reiki treatment with Shaun the relaxation seemed to grow, my sleep has improved, I found myself much better able to respond to stressful situations. This reduction in my stress levels has helped reduce my previously daily headaches significantly."- Joanne D: Sutton Coldfield
What are Jikiden Reiki treatments?
Jikiden Reiki is how Reiki was originally taught in Japan, with no western influences, how it was taught by its founder Usui Sensei. So Jikiden Reiki treatments are how Reiki treatments used to be delivered in Japan, using the authentic techniques and approaches, which differ greatly from the approaches commonly used within Reiki treatments, as such I find a deeper, more targeted result with those I help with the Jikiden Reiki treatments I deliver.
"I having Jikiden Reiki treatments with Shaun has helped me release grief and emotional issues and enabled me to relax in periods of high anxiety. I credit his treatments with enabling me to continue working when I felt I could no longer do so. Shaun made me feel relaxed immediately. He has a calm, supportive, practical and thorough approach that inspires confidence. "- Anne F : Sutton Coldfield
I Have Helped Many People Using Jikiden Reiki Treatments To:
Aid relaxation
Support and emotional healing
Cope better with the demands of daily life
Support health and well-being
Feel more grounded and balanced in life
Feel more peaceful response to traumatic events
Support emotional well-being
Feel more positive
Feel happier in life
Reduce stress
Improve sleep
Build resilience to stressful situations
Calm a busy mind
Progress in personal growth
Feel more at peace
Gain greater clarity in thought
Improve leadership and decision making
Feel a greater sense of calm in a busy world
"I first tried Reiki with Shaun to see if it could help me reduce my stress levels and calm my active mind. My sleep has improved and I have also seen reductions in my stress levels. Shaun is a very calm and non judgmental professional. I thoroughly recommend him." - Anne C: Sutton Coldfield
What Happens during a Reiki treatment?
During a Jikiden Reiki treatment you lie fully clothed on a therapy bed (or seated). The treatment is conducted in a calm, quiet environment away from distractions where you can really relax. I place my hands to where imbalance is found, and then channel Reiki energy through my hands to you to dissipate areas of tension, emotional load or poor energy flow to restore balance. (Hand placement will be discussed with you prior to the treatment, with any modifications made to ensure a balance between treatment effectiveness and you feeling totally comfortable with the process). Experiences of Reiki can differ, however Reiki is commonly experienced as a gentle flow of energy promoting a deep sense of relaxation. Some feel warmth, others a tingling sensation and some can feel the energy flowing through them - people's perceptions vary. There is much Reiki can offer you, with Reiki being as relevant in supporting you to de-stress in today's complex, busy, time-pressured world as it ever was. Although some people do experience strong results with Reiki therapy from their first treatment, I advise viewing Reiki as a process of healing and promoting balance rather than a one off event, approaching Reiki therapy with the awareness that a course of regular treatments would likely be required, especially for deeper, long held imbalances.
"Working with Shaun has helped me recover from longstanding fatigue, and heal past emotional trauma. Reiki is not to be under estimated, it can change your life" - Stuart: Birmingham
A bit About Me As A Reiki Professional
I have a wealth of experience delivering Reiki treatments and I am an experienced Reiki practitioner with a few thousand professional Reiki treatments under my belt, with a proven track record of results. My Reiki training has been with leading Reiki teachers from Europe, USA and Japan. I have 10 years experience teaching Reiki and I am a qualified teacher in various approaches to Reiki. I now specialise in authentic Japanese Jikiden Reiki, indeed many of the Reiki students I have taught Reiki and coach are Reiki professionals themselves. I have helped people with many issues using Reiki, a lot of my work is helping people reduce stress, in addition to which I have experience using Reiki in supporting healing with emotional trauma. I tend to work with people who are more committed to getting support and value professional expertise. I am based in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.
"I turned to Reiki to help with long term chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression and poor sleep. Shaun is a supportive and thoughtful, problem solving practitioner, he has made me feel at ease from the first treatment. Jikiden Reiki has proven to be amazing and life changing for me, Shaun's treatments have not only helped with the previously mentioned symptoms but I have felt a great increase in my focus and physical well being. I definitely have more energy and an increase in my self confidence, self worth. "- Samantha M: Sutton Coldfield
My Approach To Delivering Reiki Treatments
The way I work is to first conduct an initial consultation and treatments session. This gives you the opportunity to experience a Reiki treatment with me, I can make an assessment of your needs based on what I find. I will then develop a personalised structured treatment plan for your needs, with an additional focus on restoring balance and supporting the body's natural cleansing and healing processes. As is the case with any therapeutic approach best results come from a commitment to a treatment plan. In addition many people are unaware that Receiving Reiki treatments is only part of what Reiki is; I utilise Reiki in its entirety, bringing all its elements into our treatment plans to best support you and maximise the results you achieve with Reiki. Regular progress reviews and feedback of progress are also built into your treatment plan. I have refined the process I use to deliver Reiki treatments over many years to deliver the best results. The first step is to book your initial assessment and Jikdien Reiki treatment appointment, you can then experience Jikiden Reiki with me, I can present my findings and we can go from there.
"My Reiki treatments with Shaun are always relaxing, calming and hugely energising. I find Reiki helps me in both my personal and professional life. I feel more positive, can handle demanding situations and stress easily, and make decisions with clarity and confidence. I would definitely recommend Shaun to anyone juggling the demands of a busy life! "- Catherine: Sutton Coldfield

Jews in the 21st century face the challenge as never before to make our religion relevant to our lives. But for Modern Orthodox Jews, the challenge can be even more serious. Will the rich heritage that we received and that we observe enable us to be at the forefront of creatively applying Judaism to our lives? Or, will it bind us to old models?
In 12th-century Islam, from Baghdad to Damascus, from Spain to Basra, the philosophical, theological, and legal battle was cleverly described in Arabic as 'Aql vs. Naql. "Aql" referred to independent and creative thinking that understood how a religious, observant Muslim should act in the rapidly changing world of the Medieval Middle East. On the other hand, "Naql" meant sticking to tradition, copying what was done in the past in order to behave properly in the present. Those who believed in Naql (Hanbalites and traditionalists) eventually won out in the Muslim world – at least until the 20th century. They successfully convinced the Muslim on the street that using logic and analogy, and transforming Qur'anic and Muhammadian statements into modern interpretations, was pure innovation (bid'ah); and innovation was bad. Thus, certainly Muslim philosophers, but also scholastic theologians – the school of Kalam and thinkers such as Ghazali – were marginalized and eventually forgotten. The traditionalists won out: just follow the ancient teachings in the way they have been passed down since Muhammad and his companions lived them in 632 C.E., and your Islam, submission to God, will be pure.
Is the same 'Aql (modern innovation and transformation) vs. Naql (traditionalist clinging to the authority of past models) going on in 21st-century American Jewish Orthodoxy? The battle in Islam between reason, logic-based thinking, and traditionalist-based thinking was primarily fought between Muslims who never doubted the basic tenets of Islam, and those who believed strongly in following the laws of the Qur'an's tradition. Specifically, the question was: Do we allow individuals the independence to think – that is, look at traditional sources that are taught to shape and transform their understanding of the ancient, eternal law – or do we try to avoid that independence at all costs, relying as much as possible on imitating and mimicking what existed in the past?
This is the battleground within Orthodoxy today. Can we use creative thinking to make the religious principles and laws, which we see as eternal, relevant and meaningful in today's world? Or, should we try to change as little as possible and cling to models of the past? Modern Orthodoxy used to be the Mutakallimun (scholastic theologians) of the 20th century: creatively explaining laws of family purity (as in Norman Lamm's Hedge of Roses) and Jewish relations to non-Jews (as in Aaron Soloveichik's Logic of the Heart and Logic of the Mind), while rethinking older practices that might not work in the contemporary climate. As Eliezer Berkovits points out in Jewish Women in Time and Torah, women used to not come to synagogue at all; hasn't that model changed in most segments of Orthodoxy? While women never used to have formal prayer services together, or read from the Torah on their own, should that not change? In fact, Berkovits argues that the attitude should be: "Lo ra'inu eino ra'ayah." "Just because we have not seen it in the past is not proof that it is wrong." New models and practices, borne out from innovative halakhic and philosophical thinking, can be a central part of Modern Orthodoxy. In today's era of the Internet, when everyone around the world shares ideas instantly, a breakdown of prescribed authority is even more real and challenging.
On the other hand, there is a strong pull in Orthodoxy toward avoiding creativity and innovation; practicing the law through strict adherence to previous models. It should be noted, however, that adherents to the "Naql" logic probably are developing new models without even realizing it. In fact, Haym Soloveitchik argues, in "Rupture and Reconstruction: The Transformation of Contemporary Orthodoxy" (Tradition 28:4, 1994), that the truly traditionalist Orthodoxy, which was a mimetic culture of merely copying the behavior of the previous generation, does not exist anymore. Rather than following the ways of their ancestors, the Modern Orthodox world follows text (or the decisor who is an expert in the text, frequently a Rosh Yeshiva) as its guide. Nonetheless, the goal is the same: to observe Judaism in the way it was observed since time immemorial, whether through miming the previous generation or following the sacred books. This goal urges individuals to distance themselves from their own independent interpretations of the law, from using reason and logic to adapt practices – even while maintaining them – to today's contemporary environment.
The challenge for Modern Orthodoxy, then, is not which authority – sacred texts or parents and teachers – to follow. Rather, it is whether Orthodoxy is about independent thinking, creativity, and innovation in applying eternal laws and traditions; or whether it is about harnessing the individual observer to models and interpretations of the past, which may strip the law of all resonance and relevance in today's world.email print

While most people think about soccer or basketball when they are asked about knee injuries and ligament tears, these injuries are actually a common result of car accidents, as well. When cars collide, the drivers' knees are often pushed into the steering wheel, dashboard, or doors with great force, causing serious tears and rips in the ligaments housed there.
Knee injuries are incredibly painful, and those who experience one may face months of recovery, rehabilitation, or even surgery. The cost is often quite high, both in medical bills and in time away from work, and coupled with the damage your car received in the accident, you are undoubtedly facing an overwhelming number of bills as a result of your debt.
The insurance company's reaction to your knee injury is fairly common, unfortunately. Auto insurance companies are notorious for being difficult with claims involving soft tissue injuries, and often will try to lowball or even flat-out deny your claim as a result. Additionally, despite the pain and cost associated with knee injuries, the insurance company is likely treating it as a minor injury, and may not believe that you are entitled to the compensation you are claiming.
This does not, however, mean that you are left to settle for the pennies the insurance company throws your way as a consolation prize. Knee injuries are serious, expensive, and extraordinarily painful in every form, including:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
- Medial collateral ligament (MCL) tears
- Sprains
- Meniscus tears and damage
If you have suffered a knee injury as the result of a car accident caused by another driver's negligence, you deserve compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Attorney Chris Hudson has helped Augusta car accident victims get the money they deserve, and he can help you, too—call today to set up your free consultation.

Dear Insomnia, This is the 5th (6th?) night in a row we've hung out.
You dropped by completely unannounced expecting me to party these nights away with you...
Maybe you were really looking for Snooki and got lost on a detour that ended at my crib, I don't know.
What I do know is that I like to swathe myself in my cozy comforter, a cumulus nimbus cloud of pillows and snore my way through dreams that star Will Ferrel and the cast of The Big Bang Theory.
And be jarred awake as my cheek starts to swim in the cold drool that's formed the Great Lakes on my pillow.
I like to sleep. Soundly. Undisturbed.
In fact the only people allowed to disturb my slumber are my children...and that's only because well...they're my children. Someone has to feed them and change pee soaked diapers at o dark thirty in the morning...if I'm not awake to do that, they might wind up eating bath salts and start eating people while they throw feces all over my walls. We just cant have that.
I need to sleep so I can have energy when they come barreling full force into my room, so full of combustible energy they're practically nuclear.
That's why I need my sleep, Insomnia. Because I have nuclear missiles to raise. You can't do that ish half-asleep-someone could get an eye poked out or start Armageddon....
And while I love Jesus, I gotta be honest and say I'm not ready to meet Him yet, not at 29. 79? Maybe. 109? Definitely.
But I digress....
Sleep. I need it because without it, I go skyrocketing off to another galaxy...one full of euphoric gas, rainbows, talking unicorns, million dollar gift cards to Target, and other glorious things one feels as they begin to tango with hypomania.
Without sleep, this over wired brain begins to short circuit....synapses, axons, dendrites, and other things I should've paid more attention to when my processor lectured on them in my Human Development class start to....misfire...yea I think that's the term she used.
Anyway the point is without sleep my brain's homeostasis is thrown outta wack and my bipolar comes out to play. Which is what you wanted in the first place and absolutely love because you two like to party together. Problem is after a few days of getting high, the twins Anxiety and Agitation show up to crash the party, bringing Depression and her dark, brooding thoughts with her.
As fun as the initial moments of hypomania are, I really prefer to be on the level side of things, so I'd really like you to leave. You're dangerous...like playing with firecrackers dangerous, and I'd like to keep my body parts intact and spare my family a spin on the bipolar merry go round.
I'm sorry but staring off into the darkness while everyone else is knee deep in REM cycles isn't my idea of fun. And again, neither is the crash that comes after the high.
You're just too much of a trigger. I can't have you around. You've gotta go.
So please free the Sandman from wherever you're holding him hostage and hit the road. Bother someone who can actually make you work for them and not against 'em.
Consider this a warning. If you fail to heed this warning, expect Ambien & Trazadone to pay you a visit. They're like the Chuck Norris' of sleep meds.
I'm not afraid to use them.

Give your boring looking interior an uplift and design it by adding colors. The best way to do so would be designing it in Bohemian style as it is all about decor with colors, patterns and artifacts. If you are artistic at heart then Boho decor is meant for you. Have a look at some ideas here for your inspiration…
This one is a living area in Boho style with blue as the dominating hue and the principle of symmetry is used in the form of mirrors, china plates, lamps, tables and sofas.
You can add Boho spirit to your bedroom by the use of a duvet cover as well and that is why here is a duvet cover with stripes in bold colors.
These are two living rooms totally soaked in Boho inspiration. The first one is having an orange sofa accented well with a blue side table and a chandelier. The second one has a blue sofa contrasted well with an orange lamp. Moreover splashes of colors over white can also be seen.
The first picture has a Boho chic look with pops of pink, blue and brown color in white. The second one is having a color mix of blue, green, pink, yellow and purple.
This living area is decorated in green, light blue, dark blue and yellow color. The frames of abstract art are adding a sudden Bohemian look. With this a round white ottoman is simply amazing.
This one is a beautiful living room with an orange sofa combined with wicker coffee table and a wicker chair. With this accents of blue in the form of vases and a round ottoman are perfect. A striped rug is also spicing it up further.
This one is a patio with white sitting area adorned with cushions of lively Boho prints. Use of lanterns is also made.

Tonight is the night where Javier Colon, Beverly McClellan, Dia Frampton and Vicci Martinez perform for the final. The coaches opened the night performing "Under Pressure" but it was a weird and messy performance from four different styles and vocals. It was definitely not the performances from the coaches.
iTunes definitely withholding the stats of the sales from its Top 100 chart. None of the songs from The Voice is on Top 100. Usually by now, I can see some within the ranking of the sales on iTunes. I will update intermittently the stats on the iTunes Top 100 on this post.
The finalists will perform each of their own originals. They will also perform a duet with their own coach. There were two performance from professional Pitbull/Ne-Yo "Give Me Everything" and Brad Paisley duet with Blake Shelton "Don't Drink the Water".
Javier performed first with his original "Stitch by Stitch" produced by Rodney Jenkins. I can foresee this song becoming number one hits. Javier was totally in his comfort zone and the song is a perfect choice for him.
Dia is the fan favorite. She has the most songs in the Top 100 on iTunes. Dia and Blake performend "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty. Both of them looked dressed like Men in Black but with guitars. It was cool to hear the mix of country and folk styles. They looked like they had fun on stage performing the duet.
Vicci Martinez debut her original "Afraid to Sleep" with a powerful performance. The song was custom made for Vicci. Her performance was so emotional and have such a huge stage presence.
Christina and Beverly duet on Christina's own original song "Beautiful". Christina performed beautifully, it's her own song for heaven's sake. I am not sure if that song is a good choice for Beverly testosterone strong vocal. I prefer having Beverly performing a rock song.
I think Dia and Blake has the best coach-apprentice relationship. The red dress looked funny on Dia. She is singing her original "Inventing Shadow". Dia definitely looked comfortable singing while playing the piano but she doesn't need to. She didn't looked nervous at all. Blake was like a proud papa looking at his baby all grown up. It was a cool performance with the silhouette dances in the background even though Adam thought they were distracting. This sure will become #1 hit on iTunes just like Blake predicted.
Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" was performed by Adam and Javier. The performance was the best among all the duets in the entire night between the finalist and their coach. Both vocal harmonize against each other.
Beverly's debut original "Lovesick" and it's rock genre. It will be in Beverly's wheelhouse and she rocked the house literally. Forget about what I wrote about Javier's and Dia's originals, "Lovesick" is the best original by far of the night.
Lastly, Cee Lo and Vicci performed "Love is a Battlefield" together. It was an explosive performance. As usual, Cee Lo had a wig on. Tonight, he has a red mohawk like a rooster's comb. The young dancers were impressive.

How to Become an Economics Teacher
Economists are concerned with more than just money; they explore questions related to labor, land, investments, income, production, taxes and government expenditures. In short, they are concerned with how people use resources (human or natural) and with the implications of their actions. As a result, despite the fact that economics is often associated with mathematics, it is a highly interdisciplinary field that overlaps with other fields as diverse as history, law, health, education, political science and environmental studies.
Depending on the level at which one intends to teach the subject, the requirements associated with becoming an economics teacher vary considerably. To pursue a career in the field, aspiring economics teachers must be prepared to work across disciplines such as the arts, mathematics, technology and business. The education sector demonstrates a high need to attract qualified individuals to teach economics (especially on the postsecondary level); therefore, job opportunities are primarily abundant for those with advanced degrees.
How can I become an elementary and middle school economics teacher?
While concepts related to economics are sometimes introduced at the elementary or middle school levels (such as how to calculate the tax on a consumer product), economics is not a subject formally taught to students from kindergarten to grade 8.
How can I become a high school economics teacher?
Many high schools offer economics courses, typically as an elective with some schools offering the subject as a senior level business course. At the high school level, students learn about the difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics, as well as explore topics such as fiscal policy, trade, inflation and market fluctuations. Students who receive instruction in economics on the secondary school level tend to develop more positive attitudes towards the economic system and the subject of economics, thus increasing the type of interest that leads students to pursue economics as a major in college, and possibly a career in the education field.
To teach economics at the high school level, teachers must hold a bachelor's degree in economics or business, have completed a teacher-training program, and are certified to teach in their state.
Steps to qualify for an economics teacher position at a public high school include the following:
- 1. Earn a bachelor's degree. Although some states require their economics teachers to hold a master's degree, most expect qualified candidates to have at least a four-year degree, preferably a Bachelor of Science in Economics. When opting for an economics degree program geared towards a future in teaching, students take classes in microeconomics, macroeconomics and financial management, in addition to completing coursework related to education courses and subjects such as instructional methods, classroom management, and technology in the classroom.
- Complete a student teaching experience. One to two semesters are spent in a high school environment, where aspiring economics teachers gain valuable experience on how to interact with teenagers, manage the learning styles of older students, prepare class lectures and lessons, and eventually teach a class – all under the guidance of a teaching professional.
- 3. Obtain a teaching license or certificate. A state teaching certificate follows the completion of a student's coursework for their major and teacher education program, which touches upon studying developmental and cognitive psychologies, and taking a methods course for teaching economics. In order to obtain a teaching license, candidates must pass all applicable professional exams and undergo a process that varies for every state.
For example, the state of Texas requires their certified teachers to have successfully completed a Basic Skills test requirement called the THEA (Texas Higher Education Assessment) exam, as well as satisfy any Content Area assessment requirements.
All teachers within the public school system must have a state teacher's license. However, an economics teacher may find employment in a private school without a license or certification.
- Earn a master's degree. In addition to teachers earning a master's degree shortly after being certified because of state requirements, others choose to pursue an advanced degree to increase their chances of getting hired, higher salaries, and qualifying for a wider range of job opportunities, such as assistant principal or a position at a two-year college.
- Maintain an active teaching license. In order to maintain an active teaching license, educators must participate in professional development activities, such as taking continuing education courses, to remain current in teaching methods and trends related to economics.
How can I become a college or university economics professor?
Depending on the type of college or university, college economics professors may be hired to offer core or elective courses as part of a degree program in economics, or to offer economics courses to students enrolled in business administration or another applied program in finance. For this reason, qualifications may vary.
In rare instances, some career schools hire teachers with a B.S. and career experience in economics to teach an introductory-level economics course. However, most two-year colleges seeking faculty to teach economics on a part-time or even full-time basis within the context of applied business or finance programs require faculty to hold at least a master's degree in economics or business (such as a Master of Science in Economics). Four-year colleges, especially those with degree granting programs in economics, typically require faculty to hold at least a master's degree in economics and in many cases, a Ph.D. in economics.
How can I become a university economics professor?
In the majority of university settings, an economics professor is required to hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in economics in order to teach. It takes an additional six years after obtaining a four-year degree in economics or a similar field to earn a Ph.D. in economics. This is the highest level of education a teacher can reach within the field, which often leads to the most and highest-paying job opportunities for economics educators.
In contrast to other fields in higher education, the demand for economics professors is often higher than average, and this is purely due to economics itself. After all, few universities offer salaries that are comparable to the salaries that economists typically make working in the private sector. For this reason, salaries, even for starting level professors in economics, are often higher than average, especially compared to other arts and social science disciplines.
The bottom line is that universities often need to lure highly qualified economists away from the more lucrative positions found in the field. Nevertheless, for economists who are primarily interested in research, the university is often a desired destination. To secure a full-time position as a university economics professor, one must hold a Ph.D. in economics, which involves completing extensive graduate coursework in economics, passing one or more field exams in economics, and having written and defended a dissertation on a topic in economics.
Economics professors are also expected to have published extensively in the field of economics in recognized journals (such as The Quarterly Journal of Economics or the American Economics Review), or hold the potential to publish extensively in the field, and to regularly present their research at conferences and annual meetings (like the World Economics Association). Once hired at a university position, professors are expected to carry out research, develop and teach courses to students at the undergraduate and graduate levels; recruit and supervise graduate students; and participate in the governance of their programs by serving on committees.
In the classroom, economics professors use class discussions, lectures and advising sessions during designated office hours to teach and interact with their students.
The ultimate goal of an economics professor is to earn tenure at a university to ensure job security. Tenure-track positions are not only becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, as fewer universities are now offering tenure positions, but the level of competition in extremely high amongst the small pool of economics professors on staff at a school. It is not uncommon to see economics professors teach at more than one school, start out as assistant professors, or teach courses in business before they are given a permanent position at a university.
What is the job outlook for economics teachers?
In regards to teaching high school students, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports employment growth at 6 percent for economics teachers from 2012-2022, which is slower than average. Geographic location will play a role in job opportunities for the field. States located in the West and South are expected to experience a faster-growing student population, and therefore, require an increase of qualified teachers to educate more classes.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education releases information that identifies states and school districts experiencing teacher shortages for various subjects. For the 2015/2016 academic year, Arizona demonstrated a need to fill economics teacher positions on the secondary level, while Idaho showed a demand to hire economics teachers for grades 6-12. Additionally, urban and rural school districts tend to demonstrate a high need to hire educators who teach economics.
As for postsecondary educators, the BLS anticipates faster growth of 19 percent for economics professor positons, as escalating numbers of students are enrolling in college to study career-related fields, such as business. Economics is a major that goes beyond the study of the nation's economy and building an understanding of basic principles related to supply and demand. It is a field that deals with the management of money, time and other important resources. Economics teachers also teach their students the significance of the decision-making process as it related to finance, which can be applied to all aspects of their lives.
To stay competitive in the field, an economics teacher benefits from completing the highest level of education possible to qualify for the more desirable employment opportunities. High school teachers that continue to advance their education and earn extra certifications are some of the first educators to earn a promotion, salary increase, or qualify for competitive positions. A master's degree in economics can lead to increased salary for a high school teacher.
College and university professors who consistently publish strong content are more likely to advance in ranks within a school, and become a tenured professor. However, some colleges and universities are no longer offering tenure-track positions, which mean adjunct and part-time postsecondary teachers will find the best opportunities in the job market.
What is the compensation for economics teachers?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported the median salaries earned by economics educators in 2014 (including those who taught classes and/or combined teaching and research as their job) were as follows:
- Elementary and middle school teachers – $53,760 – $54,940
- High school teachers – $56,310
- Postsecondary teachers – $90,870
In addition to the place of employment, the location of an economics teacher plays a part in determining how much money he or she makes. Some states pay a higher average salary than others, as seen in the 2014 salary statistics reported by the BLS which identified the following as paying the highest annual mean salaries to postsecondary economics teachers across the U.S.: Massachusetts ($129,580), New Hampshire ($125, 710), New Jersey ($119,880), Rhode Island ($119,380), and New York ($117,530).
Those who possess advanced degrees, such as a Ph.D., generally earn the most money within the field. For economics teachers, the highest-paying industry for the occupation involves positions at colleges, universities and professionals schools which paid an annual mean wage of $108,220 to 11,360 professors in 2014. That same year, junior colleges hired 2,300 professors and paid them $72,890 annually.
In conclusion, economics teachers introduce students to topics such as inflation, profits, gross national product, financial management, and investments. The majority of job opportunities for someone with a degree in economics and an interest to teach are found on the secondary and postsecondary school levels. Those who have advanced degrees typically earn the most money, and qualify for positions at colleges and universities. The need to hire economics teachers and professors is high, as the education sector loses may qualified job candidates to more lucrative positions in business and the field.

More than two thirds of people voted to keep the first-past-the-post system in what was the first UK-wide referendum for 36 years.
It was a boost to David Cameron who had campaigned hard for a No vote and a blow to Nick Clegg, who had made a referendum on voting reform a condition of the Coalition deal which is this week one year old.
The Prime Minister and his deputy had sharply contrasting fortunes on "Super Thursday" as voters went to the polls in council elections, and in assembly and parliament elections in Wales and Scotland. It was the first major test of opinion since the general election.

Q: Where is Animal Aid's shelter located?
A: Animal Aid's shelter is located in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India in Badi Village, near the T.B. Hospital. You can reach the Badi Main Road from either side of Lake Fateh Sagar. Follow the Badi Main Road till it comes to a T. From there you will see Animal Aid signs. We are about a 30 minute riksha drive from the Udaipur city-center.
Q: Is there a fee to volunteer?
A: No. Animal Aid always appreciates and needs donations, but there is no fee to volunteer.
Q: Do I have to book my visit or can I just show up?
A: You do not need to book your visit. You are welcome to visit Animal Aid and have a tour of the shelter any time between 9 and 4. Our lunch break is from 1-2 so try not to arrive during that hour. Animal Aid is open 7 days a week. To volunteer, please arrive between 9 and 11 a.m. so that we can orient you.
Q: How much does the riksha (tuktuk) cost to get to Animal Aid?
A: Your riksha driver shouldn't charge you more than about Rs. 350 for the round trip including waiting or coming back to pick you up at a specified time. Make sure you arrange your conveyance back to Udaipur from Animal Aid before your driver drops you off because there isn't a riksha stand near Animal Aid. It's wise to pay your driver at the end of the day to ensure that they definitely do come to pick you up. Most drivers will be happy to come pick you up at the end of the day or wait outside for a few hours while you have a tour. There is a local bus that comes near Animal Aid that goes to Chetak Circle which is about a 20 minute walk from the Old City. The bus costs almost nothing (Rs.20 or so) but it takes about an hour each way.
Q: What should I bring to the hospital?
A: Bring at least 2 liters of drinking water. If you are staying through lunch you can either walk to the corner (10 minute walk) for a simple rustic outside "dhaba" eatery, (about Rs 30 for 3 chapatis, dal and a veg) or bring your own.
Q: Does Animal Aid provide accommodations for volunteers?
A: No. Animal Aid does not have accommodations. Udaipur is a popular tourist town and famous for its sheer number of hotels in budget and luxury ranges. The part of Udaipur where the hotels are all located is called the Old City. That's where the City Palace is. Animal Aid is about a 30 minute riksha drive from the old city.
Q: What will I be doing as a volunteer?
A: Please download our Volunteer Manual here, and enjoy imagining some of the best experiences of your life, just waiting for YOU!
Q: What vaccinations do I need to volunteer at Animal Aid?
A: We strongly recommend that you consult with your doctor and complete your anti-rabies vaccinations at least one month before volunteering. If you are not vaccinated you can still volunteer at Animal Aid but we will have to restrict some areas of the shelter for your safety. However, even with a few areas off-limits there will still be a huge amount of work and help that you can give and you probably won't even notice the restriction.
For other vaccinations we recommend you consult your travel medicine specialist in your home country.
Q: How do I report an injured or sick animal in Udaipur?
A: Call our emergency help-line to report the injury or illness: 9829843726, 9784005989, 9001225333. If you have seen a critically injured or ill animal, please stay near the animal (but not too near so that she starts running away) until our ambulance reaches. When you have reported the emergency our dispatcher will tell you the approximate time it will take to reach and it's vital that you stay there with the animal until we arrive in case she goes down a lane or under a car and we are unable to find her.
Q: How long does it take your ambulance to arrive?
A: Depending on the severity of the emergency, our ambulance arrives between 1-3 hours. If the animal is caught somewhere, fallen in a well or other dangerous place, bleeding, or at risk of further injury we make every effort to arrive within 30 minutes to an hour. For non-critical emergencies like mange, small wounds, mild illness etc we may take several hours and we appreciate your patience. We are Udaipur's only emergency service for animals and receive 15-25 emergency cases every day and we do our best to reach as fast as possible those in most need.
Q: What should I do if I see cruelty against an animal?
A: If you see cruelty (or suspect it) the first thing to do is take photos and video while at the same time telling the abuser to stop (while you are filming). It's very important to get the abuse captured on film to be shown later to the police. Without photos or film it can be difficult (though not impossible) to bring charges. After getting the photos/film and trying to stop the abuse, immediately call us to report the incident: 9829843726, 9001810241, 9829489296. It would also be very helpful if you could email the photos and details to us at email@example.com. You may request for your identity to remain anonymous.
Q: Does Animal Aid run centers in other parts of India?
A: No. Animal Aid only has one hospital/shelter address, located in Badi Village outside Udaipur. We partner with the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations in conducting veg outreach in other parts of India, presenting in colleges, leafleting, and showing videos about the good we can do for animals by going veg and staying veg.
Q: Does Animal Aid spay/neuter their rescued dogs?
A: Yes, if the condition of the dog is suitable for surgery all of our rescues are spayed/neutered.
Q: Does Animal Aid adopt dogs out of India?
A: In general, no. We discourage it because of the abundance of dogs desperately needing adoptive loving homes in every country. If you volunteer in your local shelter you we feel certain you will fall in love with a dog waiting for a home. However, Animal Aid is home to many dogs who have permanent disabilities and depending on the involvement of the prospective adopter, a sanctuary dog could be adopted.
Q: Why does Animal Aid return animals back to their neighborhoods once they are healed, spay/neutered and vaccinated?
A: Returning healed/recovered dogs to the street is an issue that for people outside of India can be hard to grapple with, at first at least. Here are the reasons in a nutshell: First, there are millions of dogs on the street throughout India. Around 10,000 in Udaipur alone. Trying to find homes for this vast number of animals or sanctuary is impossible and in our opinion not a strategically wise use of resources. Animal Aid's mission is to help the greatest number of street animals (dogs, cows, donkeys and other animals) stay healthy and happy and get medical care when they need it. Secondly, it's important to understand that the majority of the dogs on the street are actually doing very well. They are extremely well adapted to the street. The dogs are not abandoned, they were born there and live with a pack of street dogs (usually their mother and brothers and sisters). It helps to think of them a little bit like wild animals rather than fully domesticated dogs living in homes. They aren't afraid of loud noises or large crowds, they know how to maneuver through traffic and people too. The majority of the animals we rescue need treatment for minor injuries and illnesses. Indeed, if those animals didn't receive care they would be in danger of infection and many cases death, but because of our active community of local people, we are able to rescue most of the animals before it becomes serious of life-threatening. We bring them in to Animal Aid's shelter, treat their wounds, vaccinate against rabies and other viruses (namely distemper and parvo which are big killers here) deworm, and spay/neuter, and on average they are ready to go within about month. The stories we share on Youtube and our website are in general the worst of the worst. They are the most extreme cases and not at all representative of most street animals, or the animals we rescue, in general. We have a huge network of local Indians who call on our helpline to report animals in need of medical care. Every year we receive over 5,000 calls from local Indians reporting mostly minor, but sometimes extremely severe cases who are in need of medical care.
Q: What time of year has the best weather for volunteering in Udaipur?
A: Every season is beautiful in Udaipur but many tourists prefer the cooler weather between September and February. The summer months can be very hot with temperatures getting up to 110° F (43° C). If you do not adapt well to very hot climates you should probably avoid coming during the summer.
Q: How do I get to Udaipur?
A: By air, tickets from Mumbai and Delhi tend to be about USD $150 (Rs 6000). Not every city flies direct to Udaipur but Mumbai and Delhi do. The airport is new, clean and pretty in Udaipur. It is not an international airport.
The train from Delhi to Udaipur is an overnight ride and very easy. We recommend getting your tickets booked in advanced by a travel agent as the seats often run full and you may have to wait several days to get a free seat.
Q: What is the difference between Animal Aid Unlimited and Animal Aid Charitable Trust?
A: Animal Aid Unlimited (AAU) was set up by the founding family (Erika, Jim and Claire) who also established Animal Aid Charitable Trust. Animal Aid Unlimited is a 501(c)3 charitable organisation. AAU is the funding arm for Animal Aid Charitable Trust, and is able to provide a tax credit to donors within the USA.
Donors may choose to donate to either Animal Aid Unlimited in USA, or Animal Aid Charitable Trust in India. In either case, 100 percent of the funds donate will be used only as you specify. If you do not specify, they will be used to fund the general operating costs, the rescue programs, the treatment and sanctuary in Udaipur, or humane education in Udaipur and elsewhere India.
When you donate through PayPal, your money is sent to the USA and routed to India through our special account which has permission to receive funds from outside India. Donors may also choose to donate directly into that account, but tax credit is only available through the USA account by US-based donors.

My sister was throwing out her solid wood coffee table a few months back and we hadn't got round to buying one so I took hers with all the intentions of upcycling it to match our living room.
I was pregnant at the time so it kinda for delayed until recently.
I finally decided to paint it (after toying with the idea of decoupage for ages!).
It isn't finished just yet as the weather here hasn't been reliable enough to leave it outside for any length of time and the paint fumes are too strong with a newborn in the house. I am hoping to complete it this week!
Please don't hold me to this – I am a serial procrastinator!!
My living room is really dark. Dark furniture , dark fireplace etc so I decided to paint it in an off white/cream. I got a new paint being sold in the local hardware which promises that no primer is required.
This is what the coffee table originally looked like
I had removed the two pieces of extremely heavy glass at this point!
Even though the paint said I didn't have to sand I decided to do it anyway just to be sure!
I used fine sand paper just to rough it up and give the paint something to stick to.
(As you can see I started this project in doors and then realised the strength of the paint – I did eventually move out doors 🙂
When it was all sanded I put on a very quick first coat.
I have since put on a second coat but it looks like it will probably need another two!
I am starting to see what the finished result will be. Had I have been more observant I wouldn't have gone for a gloss paint. I think the shiny display at the hardware for this amazing new paint dazzled me :).
I really hope now that I have blogged this project I will finish it. I have learnt over the years of starting projects of this nature that patience is the greatest tool required, a virtue I really lack but it can be learned so bare with me folks! I will update asap!
Finally finished and I love it

Okay, I don't know what happened but my latest entry and the comments posted to it have been deleted. I just got back from elbowing the crowds Christmas shopping and came back to no "SNOW BABY" entry. I don't know how that could have happened, but it did. The event was wonderful and your comments were appreciated.
Lu, I might take you up on your offer. Thank you for that.
I do need a business card at least. I'm working on it. Just trying to re-adjust to some changes. Some of those changes being no school and being able to leave work and handle my business, whatever that may be. Feels good. Now I'm trying to hustle through knitting orders, knit some gifts, buy some gifts, gift wrap those gifts, etc.
A busy girls work is never done.
Hope you aren't getting too stressed out. 10 days and Christmas is here. Ack!

Generally, it was just a case of a kid who wasn't ready to be responsible for all the privileges that come along with being a college student. You know how it went down. A fun party keeps them out late. The alarm clock rings for that 8am class that freshmen get forced to take. The kid hits snooze. Snooze becomes the habit. Pretty soon, the undone snowballs into failing grades and a kid back home trying to explain where all that money for the semester's classes went.
I started blogging here around about the time my oldest began her (home)schooling career. It was a time of bug hunts and field trips and read-a-louds. The good old days... ;)
Now, my sweet girl is taller than me. A freshman in (home) High School... How did this happen? Those bug hunts have turned into an Applied Health Science course at our local homeschool co-op. The glitter and play-dough were replace by a Digital Arts Class. Those read-a-louds became a World Literature course.
I see the future coming fast.
We had a talk, my baby girl and me. Call it tough love?
I told her that she's almost grown. It might have made me tear up, but I told her. She didn't seem too surprised.
I told her that she is now responsible for her schooling. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm charting the course and grading the books and making the transcript. But the work? It's all her. The deadlines? All her. The reaching out for help when needed? Yup. All her.
She might have looked a little shocked when I told her that. A little overwhelmed.
And on my part, it's kind of scary, too. It's hard to step back and not step up to nag, to catch, or to rescue.
And she might do fine. And she might not.
In the end, I'm choosing the lesson of personal character as my main goal for her freshman year.
It may lower her GPA. Let's be honest, it probably will.
She may fail at something. Haven't we all?
It could cost her a scholarship to an elite school. Well, she knows the stakes. It's her game to play, now.
The reality is, I only have 4 more years to teach her the really hard stuff that won't be seen on the SAT. Only 4 more years before this beautiful arrow goes out into the world to make her way and make her mark and reflect her God to the people she meets.
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! ~ Psalm 127:3-5
I'm not wasting those 4 precious years. I'm using them to teach the greatest lessons. This year? Integrity and Perseverance.

This is the third crate I have decorated. I love this heavy rope handle.
I went with a French theme on this one, painting it black, distressing it a bit
and adding a vintage French label from the The Graphics Fairy.
I just love the look of black contrasted with the naturals of the
baskets, demijohns and corks.
I have three more crates waiting in the wings. I know they will speak to me
and let me know how they want to be decorated.
Do you think I have a problem?
I just might ~ I have become crate crazed.
Crates are actually speaking to me. Fortunately our neighbor is
a psychiatrist. If things get too out of hand David can ask him
to schedule an intervention. Until then, I'll just keep pimping my crates.
I don't know if anyone will be wowed by this or not, but I am
headed over to Kim's to join
and over to
Bentley ~ you don't think Momma is a little off do you??
Please say no.

If you're a listener to The Grognard Files podcast (and if not, why not?!), you'll know that Dirk the Dice is kind enough to read out my ramblings about the RPG heyday of White Dwarf magazine.
Well, with the recent publication of The Grognard Files 'zine, Dirk's generosity went one step further; he also released 'The Collected @dailydwarf' supplement, compiling a number of those early contributions: a Black Sun-style insert to the main 'zine. The layout and production quality are excellent, so I'd like to offer a big thank you to Dirk and Ed.
There's another thank you I need to make though, and that's to Marc Laming.
Marc produced a simply stunning cover for 'The Collected @dailydwarf' – every time I look at it, I'm blown away. It's just beautifully composed – cool, clear lines, with the monochrome evoking the illustrations from White Dwarf's past. I think the angle by which you view the composition – looking up, from one side – is particularly clever. It means that, even though he's a dwarf, you're still looking up to him. And because you're viewing from the side, there's an implication that there are more defeated monsters just out of shot. Put simply, this is one bad-ass dwarf. (Would you mess with someone who can defeat broo, beholders, clakars, homicidal vargrs – not to mention Cthulhu himself?)
It's a privilege to have such a great cover on my meanderings – thank you Marc!

S2 E19 Wrapped Up in Death
A stone gargoyle falls from the roof of an apartment building crushing Will Medina, the associate curator at the New York History Museum. Medina's boss, Stanford Raynes, says Will was the leader of an expedition that discovered the crypt of Kan-Xul, the Mayan king. Castle opens the sarcophagus of Kan-Xul, only to be scolded by Rachel Walters, the expedition's mummification expert. When told of Medina's death, she and Rupert Bentley, the financier, fear that what really killed Medina was not a gargoyle. It was the curse of the mummy.
Rupert reveals the fate of the expedition members who gazed upon Kan-Xul: a grad student, Nicole Graham, was a mauled to death by a jaguar and another member died of dengue fever. It seems whoever looks upon the mummy ends up dead. That's a bummer for Castle, who recently went eye to eye with the ancient king.
Seeing how antsy her partner is about the curse, Beckett decides to have a little fun. She loosens the screws from a chair so that it collapses as Castle sits. With a little help from the bomb squad, she has the coffee machine harmlessly explode as he goes to fill his mug. Castle is freaked. He's especially petrified when an attack dog takes a chomp out the backside of his pants during an arrest. Even though Beckett had nothing to do with that one, did anyone notice the furtive glance she gave to Castle's exposed backside as he walked away?
[break] It turns out that Medina was dating Rachel Waters. She kept the relationship a secret because she was worried about getting fired. Stanford Raynes blamed Medina for the death of Nicole Graham. Raynes claims that Nicole died in the jungle because she had gone to hook up with Medina. He was angry but was in the museum at the time of the murder.
Rupert Bentley seems to be enjoying the spooky press that's the museum is receiving due to the mummy's curse. Castle wonders if he murdered Medina to boost ticket sales. Beckett dismisses this theory as a little too Scooby-Doo and she's not Velma. Castle says, "Velma? Are you kidding? You're Daphne. You're hot, smart, not aggressively brainy, but long legs, short skirt…" Well, you get the idea.
A retired drug trafficker named Norton Grimes was dealing with Medina to procure one of the slave girl mummies for a buyer overseas. Suspecting that Grimes is lying, our team heads back to the museum to do a swab test. If the slave girl mummy tests positive for drugs, Grimes is likely the killer. However, when they open up the sarcophagus, they see that the mummy is gone.
During an appraisal of the mummy for a foreign buyer, Carbon-14 testing authenticated the sarcophagus and wrappings, but the mummy itself was too young to date. This "slave girl" had only been dead four months. When Castle hears this, he knows the identity. It's Nicole Graham, the first victim of the "curse."
[break] Nicole's body was never found; the authorities presumed she was killed by an animal based on scant evidence. For the killer, mummification was the perfect way to hide the body: just ship it out with the other artifacts. Medina found out about it and the killer murdered him, blaming both deaths on the curse. Beckett explains that the expedition just happened to include the foremost expert on Mayan mummification: Rachel Walters.
Rachel denies killing Nicole, as she had no motive. They both had a crush on Medina, but they were also friends. Once Nicole realized that Medina liked Rachel, she backed off. But Stanford Raynes had a creepy crush on Nicole, and he's the one who taught Rachel everything she knows about mummification. She says that the mummification process leaves DNA behind; she'll gladly have hers tested, but doubts Raynes will do the same.
At the museum, Castle and Beckett confront Raynes. Beckett spins the story of a spurned love for Nicole and a rage that led to murder, cover-up and more murder. Castle says, "This is the part where you say…and I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids." Raynes makes a run for it, but falls down a flight of stairs right in front of a portrait of Kan-Xul. Coincidence? Or the curse of the mummy?Beckett's response: "Ruh-roh!"

Welcome to the fourth and final part of the Under the Ice socks tutorial. This week you're going to work the leg and weave in those ends.
At the end of the last tutorial, you had just finished turning the heel. Now you need to place a stitch marker (to mark the start of each new round). I've used a scrap of white wool.
Then you need to knit two rounds, still working in the blue yarn. You'll notice that there's a little hole on either side of the heel. Don't worry about this; we'll deal with it later.
After two rounds of blue, it's time to start striping. Insert your right needle into the first stitch of the next round, ready to knit. Lay your white yarn over your right needle, so that the tail is on the left.
Knit the first few stitches. You may need to go back and pull your ends tight. Carry on all the way around.
Then you need to pick up your blue yarn and start working with it again. Just pick it up and knit with it.
Make sure that your working white yarn runs up the inside of the sock.
After the specified number of rounds of blue, it's time to knit with the white yarn again. Now, because you've knit a few rounds of blue, you don't want to pull the white yarn too tight, or you'll cause ruching up the side of your sock. So make sure that you leave enough white yarn to run up the inside of your sock and cover the distance of those blue rows.
Knit the specified number of rows of white.
Carry on in this way until you have finished the striping section.
Then cut your blue yarn, leaving a long tail.
Tuck the tail inside your sock and continue to knit, in white, until the leg is 2″ shorter than you want the finished sock to be.
Now it's time to add the ribbing at the top of the sock. Knit the first two stitches, as usual.
Bring your working yarn to the front of your work, ready to purl:
and purl the next two stitches. Then move your working yarn to the back again, ready to knit. You can see that I've done this in the photo below.
Establish a 2×2 rib all the way around the sock. You should finish on 2 purl stitches. Then work 2 inches of the ribbing, all in white. You should always find yourself knitting into the knit stitches (the ones wearing v-necks) and purling the purl stitches (those sporting turtlenecks).
Once you've worked all that ribbing, it's time to bind off. When binding off in rib – and I cannot emphasise this enough – you need to keep everything very very loose indeed. Otherwise you will not be able to stretch the top of your sock enough to get it on. So throughout all of the following bind-off steps, keep everything even looser than you think it needs to be.
Knit the first two stitches.
Bind off the first stitch that you knit by lifting it over the other stitch and right over and off the end of the needle. Now, the next stitch you need to work is a purl stitch, so move your working yarn to the front. You can see that I've done this in the photo below.
Purl the next stitch. Your working yarn will still be at the front of your work.
Now bind off the previous (knit) stitch by lifting it over the other (purl) stitch and over and off the end of the needle. The next stitch you need to work is a purl stitch, so keep your working yarn at the front of your work.
That's it – you just carry on working one stitch at a time and binding off the previous stitch. Remember to check what your next stitch will be and move your working yarn forwards and backwards, just as you would if you were working ribbing normally.
When you get to the last stitch, cut your yarn with a tail of about 6″ and pull it through the final stitch.
Now you need to weave all those ends in. Weave the end you've just cut into the inside of the ribbing. You shouldn't really be able to see it afterwards, even from the inside. Leave a little 0.5″ – 1″tail on each of your woven-in ends until after you've blocked and worn it, and then snip it off when everything has settled. I've done this to my sock, below.
Use the long blue tail to work your way down to the heel again. Use it to close the little hole on one side of the heel. Then work your way around the heel, stitching round the short row shaping and across the base of the heel, up the short row shaping and finally closing up the little hole on the other side. There's no need to overdo it, especially in the heel (which would be uncomfortable to wear), but closing up the little holes like this does make the sock look really professional. You can see that I've done this, here:
When you've made both of your socks, soak them for half an hour or so in tepid (lukewarm) water. Then roll them in a towel and press on it, to removed the worst of the water. Leave them, spread on something flat, to dry. Then wear them! They will block to the shape of your feet, and be sublimely comfortable.
Then cast on for the next pair…
How did your first sock turn out?

Whether or not to surgically correct ambiguous genitalia to be more female- or male-typical with genitoplasty is an area of pediatric medicine that is highly controversial. Suboptimal outcomes such as poor post-surgical cosmesis and sexual dysfunction following outdated surgical procedures have driven intense controversy in the medical community over how, or if, genitoplasty should be used in the treatment of young children with ambiguous genitalia. To resolve this debate, a prospective study of outcomes of current genitoplasty procedures, including complication rates associated with these procedures, is needed of individuals who receive masculinizing or feminizing surgery during early childhood. Additionally, studies of parents who decide to proceed, or not, with genitoplasty for their young child are necessary to understand how these controversial decisions impact parents'reactions to surgical outcomes for their child. The overall goal of this proposal is to assess the outcomes of modern genitoplasty techniques with a consideration of the psychological outcome of parents who make the decisions to proceed with genital surgery for their child. This information is crucial for physicians to provide guidance to parents regarding the optimal approach for the management of ambiguous genitalia in young children, including the possibility that no surgery is best. The interdisciplinary group of clinicians and researchers included in the proposed studies spans the fields of psychology, statistics, pediatric endocrinology, and pediatric urology. The collective experience of our group optimizes our ability to translate findings from the proposed studies to a clinical setting in a timely manner.
Information about the benefits and risks of modern approaches to genitoplasty in children with ambiguous genitalia due to Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) is lacking. We propose to prospectively study short-term cosmetic and urinary function outcomes of children following feminizing or masculinizing surgeries. Additionally, studies of how parents make decisions about if and when to have genitoplasty for their child, as well as the incidence of decisional regret after the fact, will be conducted.

Franco-German meeting to focus on tax, tech: Elysee
PARIS (Reuters) – This week's first Franco-German ministerial meeting since Emmanuel Macron's election is not expected to yield precise proposals on euro zone reforms, but will feature announcements on start-up funding, sources at the French president's office said on Monday.
"There won't be precise proposals on the euro zone but important work on tax issues will be discussed," one of the sources said. "New initiatives will be announced by France and Germany on the funding of the digital sector," the source added.
France will also try to get Germany on board with Macron's campaign proposal to hold public "democratic conventions" across EU countries to discuss Europe's future, the sources said.
Senior members of the German cabinet will be in Paris on Thursday for the regular Franco-German get-together.

I now have a REP.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment
oh shit! Cops!
My eye hurts.
Most painful eye of 'o7 goes to.....a
i've disabled the ability to smite on these forums. it was getting childish and out of hand for some people - and, it will prevent the smiting of brand new members to the board, despite the chances that their first posts will be ISOs. this keeps the karmic balance positive around here...people should be awarded good karma for their actions, but bad karma will manifest itself - we don't need to be doling it out.
Can we bring back the smiting feature?
Please, you know you want it too!!!!
Has anyone been smited, or is it smote, more than you? It's even more incredible when you consider that tet outlawed it almost 9 months ago!!! I guess this is my official nomination for an award.
Given that the function allowed a user to use it once per 24 hours, that seems impractical to narrow it down to one to two people. Even if it was just two people, it would take over 45 days to get the level you have. I doubt we had the smite function for more than three weeks.

Design, style and convenience are at the heart of this unique new Door-In-Door technology. Ideal for busy families, large households and regular entertainers, the elegant new model allows consumers to place their most popular chilled items in the front door and store larger and less used items in a second fridge compartment at the back.
Thanks to the innovative Door-In-Door feature, customers can conveniently find and retrieve their favourite snacks or beverages without having to search the refrigerator. In addition to the quick and easy access to frequently sought-after food items, the Door-In-Door minimises temperature loss for a more consistent fridge temperature.
"LG has long been committed to delivering outstanding refrigerators that help customers enjoy greater levels of convenience in their lives and ensure that food stays fresh for as long as possible," said Fiona Irving, Corporate Marketing Manager, LG Australia ."With these goals in mind, we are bringing our latest premium French Door refrigerator with the Door-In-Door system to the Australian market.

LG's Door-In-Door refrigerator's stylish exterior can be harmonised seamlessly into almost any kitchen environment with its sleek stainless steel finish. The refrigerator also uses LED lighting that emits a soft blue light, adding a special accent to the décor and providing much appreciated kitchen illumination at night. In addition, the three layered freezer organisation provides three well-spaced and easy to access storage drawers in the freezer for better use of the interior area and a much sought out solution for achieving tidy freezer organisation.
LG's Pure N Fresh Filter is also equipped inside the new range. This technology serves as an air filtration system that circulates air and deodoriser to reduce odours within the fridge.
The new LG DID refrigerator range will launch between September and November 2012. The hero GR-D907SL 907Ltr French Door Fridge will be available during September 2012 with a RRP of $4,599.
