Are You a Virtual Assistant (VA) Ready to Stop Stressing About the Economy, Have Some Fun AND Get Smarter About Getting Ahead?
Then get ready for VAVS9 coming to you this April 14-18th, 2014!
Hi! I'm Tawnya Sutherland and founder of the market leading resource for Virtual Assistants world wide online today since 2003 with over 20,000 registered members. With a membership that large you can rest assured that I've been lucky enough to come across some very successful Virtual Assistants over the years. AND these expert VAs are now ready to share their knowledge with other VAs to help them succeed in business too. In no other industry will you find such a sharing and supportive network between business colleagues except here in our VA world!
Want to know a secret about Virtual Assistants?
We stick together like glue, helping one another succeed in our VA businesses!
Want to know another secret about Virtual Assistants?
VAs are super smart, always on top of that new technology, software or online marketing technique coming through the sales funnel to help their business succeed in today's downturned economy.
So without further ado, I present to you our 9th VA Virtuoso Seminars (VAVS9) of informative and engaging seminars in a webinar format presented by the best and the brightest in virtual assistance. Seminars that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home office via our online webinar platform. No commute expenses involved! All you need is a computer with speakers (or a headset) to listen with, an internet connection and YOU! Held over a period of 5 days between April 14-18th, 2014, you will have access to 20 educational webinars (PLUS one bonus webinar the week before on how to "Become a VA"), all focused on you, the Virtual Assistant to help you grow your VA business. I've once again tapped into my global network finding Virtual Assistants who'd be only too happy to share their hard earned business wisdom.
After all: who better to learn trade secrets from than VAs who are slugging it out in the trenches and succeeding? I may have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I'm also smart enough to know what I don't know. Yet who has the time or money (or patience!) to learn it all?
All for one low price PLUS a truckload of free downloads and special offers. Some points I'd like to highlight…
- It's affordable (yep, we're still in a recession)
- It's accessible (who isn't online nowadays?)
- It's a social networking party (connect with your business peers)
- It's educational (knowledge is power)
- It's FUN (duh! Just read the RAVES from previous seasons)

Achieving Financial Zen in your Business
Many entrepreneurs are wary of the financial aspects of running a business. They often feel overwhelmed by the terminology; by all the things they think they need to do. Sometimes they're afraid – afraid it will be complicated; afraid they'll get it wrong; afraid to admit they don't really understand it all. They dread tax filing time. They put off paying invoices. They don't always know what their cashflow situation is or even if their business is really profitable. This presentation highlights some of the key pain points and offers tips on how to overcome them. You'll leave with a better understanding of:

Pricing/Rates – Retainers – Packages & Projects
One of the most challenging aspects of running a Virtual Assistance practice whether you've been in business for 10-days or 10-years. Articles, teleseminars, webinars, whatever the format, VAs continually seek support and new ideas in the area of rates and profitability. Women in this industry are especially vulnerable to the thought of raising prices, much less how it affects their business, clientele, and the ability to create a profitable business that yields an incredible income. Whether you want to keep your business a small, one-person operation, or grow to a multi-VA practice, this session will provide you with all the latest options for making sense of how your rates – retainers – and packages can make a huge difference in the success and growth of your practice.

Client Retention Strategies of Top VAs
At some point in her career, every virtual assistant has asked, "How can I get more clients." It's the most frequent question new and even established VAs ask of me, and the problem is, it's precisely the wrong question to ask. Instead, you need to be asking, "How can I keep the clients I have?" Happy clients:
Of course, keeping clients happy isn't difficult, but to reach rock-star VA status (and the rates that go with it) it helps if you have a plan. In this webinar, you'll learn:

Never Let Your Clients Forget You! How To Keep Your Brand In Their Face (Politely)
If you build WordPress websites for clients, you know that previous clients are the best people to work for because they already know the quality of your work. The problem is, after building their websites, do they disappear, never to be heard from again? It doesn't have to be that way. In fact, the website you just handed over can be the perfect vehicle to keep your brand in front of them at all times. In this webinar, I'll share exactly how to do that. Few people talk about this. Yet, the WordPress admin screens are prime real estate for you. If you are worried about super technical stuff, throw that thought out now. 99% of this is already done for you. If you can copy and paste, you can do this. I can't wait to spill the beans in the webinar so make sure you're there.

The amount of information I have received for such a small investment is insane! The notes and tips I took away from the seminars are priceless! If you are a VA it should be a no-brainer to attend this week long event!
Don't miss this event you will potentially lose new opportunities!!
Jaime thanks for the raves!
I'm really excited about this teleseminar series. There was a similar v.a. teleseminar offered recently that I really wanted to attend, but the price was a little too much for my budget. I am really thankful to Tawnya for offering a "budget friendly" teleseminar for v.a.'s.
Kudos to you!
I was on a budget once myself and can totally understand having to watch where every penny goes in your VA business. Glad you enjoying the webinars
I learned so much from these seminars. These women are awesome to learn from! I knew some, but the information I received in these classes have really inspired me to do even more.
Melinda, glad these webinars are inspiring you in your business and thanks for attending!
I've enjoyed each and every webinar so much so far this week and I'm sure the remaining presentations will be awesome, as well. The speakers are experts in their subjects, and so very interesting to listen to. Everyone is having a great time interacting and networking with each other as well. Some of the webinars encourage audience participation, too, which is very lively. Thanks to all the speakers and to Tawnya for another great VA Virtuosos series.
Patty, thanks to you too and all the attendees for interacting before and after the webinars. That has been the fun part for me, getting to know all of you a bit more. Enjoy the rest of the series!
Who knew for the cost of an average date night for me & hubby, I could invest in myself/my business, learn from some great presenters, grow my business, and build relationships with such amazing and like-minded VAs!! I'M LOVING IT!! I have already started applying the knowledge I've gained.
As a new VA, I appreciate the time investment Tawnya and each presenter had made and the participants who have been amazing during the seminars. Now I can move forward with even more confidence since I have the tools to be successful without a 90-hour work week.
Lisa, I had to laugh when you said "for the cost of an average date night for me & hubby" as my first thought was, I'm going to have to take that husband of yours aside and tell him that you are worth more than $15/date Glad you are enjoying the series and that its been a good investment for you and business.
Tawnya, firstly, I am so thankful that you have taken the initiative to put these seminars together and for providing us with courage with your own example. We need to be connected with other VAs. The speakers are outstanding and have made great contributions in inspiring us and giving us valuable tools to move forward.
A BIG THANK YOU once again to yourself and the speakers.
Cheryl Sajnani, Executive Edge Administrative Outsourcing Business Solutions, Canada
Cheryl, Glad you enjoyed them. I'm thrilled to see such connections being made with all the attendees. Looking forward to VAVS3!
This is the first of any seminars I have been to sponsored by VAnetworking. I have been so pleased at all the various information I have received and can really see the benefit that I have obtained so far. Each and everyone of the speakers had information that benefited me as a Virtual Assistant.
The Chat that goes along with the seminar is priceless! Not only did I learn from the speakers, I also was able to network with other VA's. Such an opportunity!! Don't miss the one in April!
Kudo's to Tawyna for the very resonable price as well!

I agree about the in between chat/networking Debi. It just makes me all fuzzy and warm inside getting to know others in the VA industry on a more personal level. Its definitely a VA bonding of sorts! Glad you are enjoying the event!
I don't know what else to say, but WOW. I have lurked in the background for two years researching everything I could about VA's, and I would venture a guess that the last couple of days has provided so much more focused information that I have been looking for.
As a budding VA, this information has been priceless for me. Tawnya, your choice of presenters is perfect, and the varied information makes one just want to keep on listening. Thank you to Tawnya, the presenters and the selfless volunteers for putting this on. We appreciate it more than you can know.
Kathy, thank you for your kind words and I'm so thrilled you are enjoying our event. The speakers are fantastic and what is so cool about their webinars is that many of them were brand new VAs themselves not long ago. I hope to see you speaking here too very soon Kathy Enjoy the series and thanks!
I finally got to sit in on a webinar today and it was great! So much knowledge from all the participants. I'm still learning before I launch properly, but now I've got itchy feet to get moving more quickly.
Thanks Tawnya for putting together such a professional speaker list. I've downloaded the ones I've missed and hope to listen to them over the weekend.
I agree! These speakers really inspire you to get out there and make money as a VA. Glad you are enjoying the series Shauna
Being very new to this industry and trying to get my business off of the ground I felt like this was a fantastic use of time!! There is so much valuable information that has been shared by experts on their subjects. Thank you so much for pulling this together. Also the support from all the VAs has been so inspiring!!
I love the seeing support for each other in the Virtual Assistant industry. The VA industry rocks!
This series of webinars was such an awesome showcase of the many talented VAs who are willing to share with other VAs. They all had a wealth of information in their fields and inspired me tremendously.
Koo-dos to Tawnya and her group of volunteers. They did an awesome job!!
Definitely there are some STARS among us! Thanks for the Koo-dos!
This series of webinars has been so great. Even when you think, I have this, I'm doing it, you realize that there maybe one key piece of the puzzle that is going to put it all together. This is what the seminars have done for me, it has answered questions about specifics, taking a step back and looking at a different perspective.
This has been a very awesome seminar series, and I thank you again VAnetworking.com for all you do for us, helping us succeed in our business.
WOW ! The speakers and resources provided in this excellent webinar series is unbelievable. The chatting throughout (and even after a session has ended) has added extra value to the package. I have learned much and have received the tools to be successful in these topics. The VA industry is unique in that we love to help, share and uplift each other be successful. I appreciate the time and energy of VAnetworking.com, VAvirtuosos.com and the speakers for the VAVS2 to make this an excellent webinar series. Don't miss the upcoming series in April 2011. I know I will be there! Thank you!
This was a value-packed week, I can't wait to put some of the new tips and strategies into practice and crank my business up a notch. I am still amazed at the affordability and value of this series, thank-you for making these sessions so accessible to newer (budget challenged) VAs.
It feel so blessed to be a part of the VA community. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to learn from this inspiring group of talented and giving VAs.
Many thanks to all who made this event possible! See you next time around, this one is on my must-attend list.
It has been a great week of webinar's. I can not believe how much I have learned. The speakers were detailed and easy to follow and learn from.
Thank you to all of the speakers and Tawnya for assisting me in my business growth.
Thanks so much to Tawnya and all the presenters for such an incredible week of learning and sharing. It amazes me to find a group of professionals who are so willing to share so freely of their knowledge and experience with others who are new to the profession. Thanks again to you all! Great Job!
Thank you to Tawnya for a wonderful week of speakers on topics that I have been needing assistance on. Many new and great ideas. Linked In and Facebook two areas that I have ignored and realize that I need to get my butt in gear! Thank you to ALL the speakers who took their time to help all those in attendance! I'm very much looking forward to next year's seminars! Hope to see many of you again in the spring of 2011!
You have done it again! These seminars were great! I am so glad that I upgraded to the Diamond Level, I can't wait to listen to the first series!
Kudos to your volunteer assistants who helped you before, during and after the seminars. I know that without them you would not have been able to put these seminars on.
Also THANKS to all the great speakers. Although I tried really hard to attend all sixteen in person, I missed two of them. I have scheduled time in my schedule next week to listen to them. I am so looking forward to hearing what insight they have to offer.
These seminars will help me as I continue to grow my VA business and help me realize my goals. Thank you so much!
Wow! I've just downloaded all the bonus extras from the guest speakers to read whilst I'm on the train over the coming weeks. I can't wait as I wasn't able to attend more than 2 of the sessions. The speakers have been very generous in the information they have provided. For me as a 'newbie' I am very grateful to you all, it makes my life a lot easier to know that I don't have to 're-invent the wheel', THANK YOU!
Secret Secretary
Hello Tawnya!
What wonderful seminars you put together last week! No matter how long we are in business we can always benefit from such seminars!
The speakers were awesome! All were exceptionally knowledgeable and for me opened my eyes a bit more to realizing that I need to make some additions and changes to my business. I'm so old school that it is time to get with the ball game! With the Diamond package I am able to continue learning with all the material you have provided from this past week that I know I will get out of that old school!
Looking forward to the Spring 2011 seminars!
Thank you, Tawnya. I have resources to read and learn from for many, many weeks. I have been encouraged and inspired as well.
I agree with you Karen, thanks to Tawnya I had more reference to consider.
What an amazing week of webinars! all of the information is very valuable for me as I am now starting my business as a Virtual Assistant. The speakers have a lot of experience on their fields and they knew to transmit it to us a in a very clearly way. Thanks for their time and effort to make us understand the most important and trendy topics within this industry.
Thank you very much Tanwya and your wonderful team for all the love you put in designing them and for your professionalism that I admire, you'all made this webinars such a great experience for me; I also loved meeting all the VA's and what they gently shared with me.
Edna Campos from Mexico.
Thanks Edna for your kudos! I love putting this series on to help educate the VA industry.
I can't wait! I attended last year's VA Virtuosos and it was one of the most informative series of tele-classes for virtual assistants I've ever been part of. Not to mention the sidebar chats–what a great community! I can't believe it's such an amazing bargain.
I always try to keep an affordable package for the newbies who don't have much in their budget yet for training. I truly believe this series can benefit so many Virtual Assistants worldwide.
I am very interested in attending the webinars, but will not be able to access most of them. Will we be able to download or replay them after the fact?
GOLD and DIAMOND attendees will have access to the replays and notes from presentation.
What an amazing week it was. So much to learn from established VAs across the pond. I feel lucky to have been able to participate on those webinars – even more as I now can listen to them all over again. Thank you Tawnya, thanks to the presenters.
Andrea you were such a trooper attending them as I know that the 12 hour difference in timezones with our webinars kept you awake untill 3-4am in the morning. Thanks for spending your sleeping hours with us
Hi Tawnya,
I was considering going for Diamond. I was wondering if the replays will be downloadable as MP3′s as well as video. I like to listen and relisten to seminars while driving or away from my computer. Please let me know soon.
Yes, Diamond members get video replays (MP4), audios (MP3) and PDF notes of the powerpoint presentations.
I am really very interested in attending the webinars. However, they are being held while I am away from home and taking care of business in Dallas, TX. Will these webinars be recorded, and if so, will they be available for me to view? Also, if I register for these webinars and have to view the archived sessions, will I still receive all the other bonuses such as the free downloads from the VA presenters, tip sheets, etc.?
Debra Mason
Debra, just make sure upon ordering that you upgrade at http://vavirtuosos.com/register/ to a Gold membership instead of Silver and you will receive recordings plus all the archives
This sounds very exciting, so much information at your fingertips. What does it take to be a gold member and how much does it cost for the gold membership?
Here is the benefits of each level together with the pricing: http://vavirtuosos.com/register/
Hope to see you at VAVS7
Thanks for the invitation. I love learning and keep always on my mind. But, What is the difference on this to others?
I only know of one other online conference for the VA industry and our uniqueness is that all of our speakers are or have owned a Virtual Assistant practice. You are listening to speakers at our network who have been there or are doing it as a successful VA and want to share their knowledge with other VAs. I've found the VA industry to be very supportive amongst either other sharing their experiences to help others avoid the mistakes they have made. A very giving industry unlike other industries (ie: internet marketers) who see their business colleagues as competitors instead of friends
Hi Tawnya
I am in the process of setting up my VA business so I am still working in the meantime. This conference looks awesome but I will be working whilst it's occurring. Is there anyway that I can get recordings of the conference?
Julie Caught
Yes, just select the GOLD package when registering and that includes the recordings of these 20 webinars plus you get access to archives of over 100 past webinars
This conference sounds amazing and I cannot wait to engage in this wealth of information. I'm registering today.
I am so looking forward to it! We have an amazing line up of speakers again this season that you'll definitely learn from. Not to mention networking and engaging with all the attendees and speakers is priceless! Hope you have a great time and see you there
Thank you for this wonderful Webinar! I am a 'newbie' and have not even begun to scratch the surface of all there is to know. However, today was amazing and I look forward to the next 3 days. I wasn't even tired after today's presentations…it was really informative!!
Tawnya, once again you have lined up a list of exceptional speakers and presenters to share with us. Even though I have attended VA Virtuosos in the past, the content is still very current and informative. I am looking forward to the last day, tomorrow, but also know I'll suffer "withdrawals" on Saturday.
When a friend or former co-worker talks to me about working from home, the VAnetworking forum is the first of two places I send them. If they join the forum and start making use of it, then I know they're interested
Thanks again for sharing so much with us year after year! I think you have set a good example for the entire VA industry with your generous nature.

Great series and awesome speakers! This is my second conference, and I am already looking forward to the next one! I connected with a lot of great people. Thank you Tawnya!
Gabrielle, great to see you at conference! Love your Pinterest boards too, still checking them out after our last webinar on Pinterest. Hope I'll see you in the forum to stay connected with after the event: http://www.vanetworking.com/forum
We are in day 4 of our 5 day VAVS 8 Session. Just amazing everything we are learning.
I am a "newbie" as well to this world. I have lots to learn and am excited about it and am up for the challenge.
Andrea I'm glad you are learning lots to put towards your new start up as a VA. The opportunities for VAs to make money selling their services is endless and the speakers will inspire you even further with their presentations. Enjoy!
My sincerest thank you's to you and Danielle for yet again creating a rock star VAVS lineup this week. I wasn't able to catch many live but the ones I did were terrific! I enjoyed hearing Sharon give business plans a makeover and met a new speaker that I know I will be following – Lynn Terry. Really like her knowledge and personality. Also so jazzed to hear my buds Donna Toothaker, Susan Mershon and Nancy Seeger. Was thrilled to start a relationship with Kathy Anderson. Such top notch folks all around!
Thank you for allowing me the privilege to be a sponsor and speak to attendees about something near and dear to my heart – exceptional team members. I look forward to teaching VA Networking members when they enroll in Exceptional Subcontractors. I'll keep the coupon code up a while as I want as many to take advantage of the deal as they can. They'll learn such great stuff taught by the brilliant minds of the VA industry.

Sue, the connections I've made at VAVS have been fantastic for my business and glad to see you made some new ones as well Lynn Terry rocks! And thank you for your sponsorship this season. I see a bunch have already enrolled in your program and I know they won't be disappointed.
Hi Tawnya,
Hope you are doing well.
Can you please let me know .How a Virtual Office can control your costs??
Online Virtual Assistant
There are minimal costs associated with running a VA business as we do work from a home office, is that what you mean by your question, please clarify if something different? You'll need a website to market yourself, a computer (printer, etc.), software/programs to service your clients, marketing budget, continuing education, etc. all of which is a tax write-off starting up a VA business. If your question relates more to the costs the client saves by hiring a VA you can learn more about that here: http://www.vanetworking.com/clients/virtual-assistant-cost-comparison/
Hi Tawnya,
I wanted you and your audience to know that I thoroughly enjoyed the VAVS 8 seminars last week. I learned so much from each speaker on the panel. Every one had special knowledge to share with all of us. It was so informative and very well structured. You sure know how to put together these events! I am now sorting through everything and working on figuring out my next moves.
Thanks again- I will be back in touch!
My first Virtual Assistant conference and I'm very excited! Koodos for my prompt and personal customer service from Ms. VAVirtuoso herself and Danielle at the help desk!
Thank you for the compliment! I hope you enjoyed the seminar series!
There has been amazing content in this online conference. I have many new ideas to learn, use, and implement! Thank you for offering this great learning opportunity!
Just wanted to express my appreciation to you for offering the 'GOLD' membership level. I love the seminar, the great presenters and the varied subject matter offered. I do not want to miss any of it. Which is why I was delighted you offered the opportunity for presentation replays and all of the materials for download. I have a busy work/family schedule and while I have attended several sessions; I am pleased that I can review missed presentations on my own time schedule.
Thank you Tawnya!
Kathryn Solomon
Kathryn, having the video recordings to go back on and review (or watch if you happen to miss a webinar LIVE) is one of the perks of upgrading to a GOLD membership and glad you love it I've really enjoyed getting to know you more at the event and look forward to keeping our connection going through our social networks in the future
I'm attending VAvirtosos for first time (GOLD level & so grateful to have access to presentations after this week).
Approx. 2 years ago, I was fortunate enough to be mentored by a very generous gal who provided subcontract work. That website support & social media support work began to dwindle February.
It's past time for me to get a website launched and to hit it (i.e. fully market my own virtual business)! These webinars are so energizing and-ddd empowering. HooRAY!
Julia so thrilled you are enjoying VAVS! It's been great getting to know you during networking hours at VAVS between speakers. I'm glad you are getting something out of them HooRAY!
So far enjoying it all! Intense week but glad I have the luxury of going back and listening to the recorded videos. Thank you!
This is the final day of VAVS9, and my head is buzzing with all the information. In such a good way! I'm so charged up. Being new to the VA business, I have just been on soak-it-in overdrive this week. It's a huge learning curve for me, and this has been AWESOME! I chose the GOLD membership, knowing I'd miss a few webinars and be able to see them later. So glad I did now, seeing what the bonus downloads and speaker notes are, too. Thank you so much for this opportunity. (One thing I would love even more would be if all the speaker offers could be open for just one more week. A little more time to make a decision about which one(s) I need most.)
I have loved everything that I have learned from all the outstanding speakers that have been on this Conference! Absolutely worth every penny of the fee. As a newbie, I am just so happy to have found this resource. Thank you all for taking the time to share all your valuable information!
ACCOMPLISHED GOALS PRODUCE BIG CHECKS! Question: what's personalized informative interactive, convenient and delivers just what your business wants and needs? A good VA! I live by check lists. this week I received my biggest checks ever by attending the week-long online 2014 VAV Conference – 20+ hrs of webinar training completed/done!!!! I got paid motivation, time, attention and technical support on the fly. Thanks Tawnya and Danielle for bringing a training experience and international gathering I'll never forget directly to my living room.
Glad you enjoyed the event Kimberly! We hope to see you at VAVS10!
This was my first VAVS!!! I am so glad that I decided to attend. I learned so much. This conference is for everyone from the VA just starting out to the VA that has been in business for years!! So much great information and networking. Thank you Tawnya for having this conference
Awesome training. All of the speakers and presentations were very informative. So glad I upgraded so I can go back and listen to them over again. Thank you so much for this great resource. I will definitely take advantage of some of the programs the speakers offered.
Great job everyone that helped make a wonderful experience for my first VAVS! Kudos to all that worked tirelessly to make it happen, I know that it took a lot of work behind the scenes. I really enjoyed attending some of the live sessions and look forward to listening to the recorded sessions with my GOLD membership
The VAVS conference is fantastic! I always learn at least one thing from every webinar. And this conference was no different. Thank you Tawnya and Danielle for doing such a great job.
Thank you Kathy! It was great networking with you in between seminars, can't wait for VAvirtuosos 10!
Great week of knowledge….Thank you for all you do for us!
I really enjoyed the VAVS conference. There was a lot of information, which I hope to use over the next several months. Thank you very much for providing this opportunity!
WOW! I am so glad I bought a GOLD package for VAVS9. This was my first ever virtual conference. There was a lot of cool information shared over the 5 days and I will be able to review all the webinars for many months to come to absorb it all. As well, I have new contacts that I will be able to network with. Thank you Tawnya and Danielle. I will be back next year for VAVS10 for sure!!!!!!
Just wanted to comment on the AWESOME VAVS9 webinars. I have learned so much and very excited to start my own VA business. All the presentations were wonderful and came with an abundance of information to help us grow and become successful VA's. So glad I purchased the GOLD Membership. VA Networking/ VA Insiders Club will be my Go to Community! Thanks to Tawnya; going call her the Motivator!
Kelly SeBour
Had another great season at VAvirtuosos! Once again I left with my head full of great information from all the speakers. Enjoyed networking with other VAs in the webinar room and can't wait for next season!
Thanks to all that came and made the event a blast! I always look forward to helping put this event together with Tawnya every Spring and Fall.
Next up, VAVS10!

Concept (1)
A polynomial function is a function comprised of more than one power function where the coefficients are assumed to not equal zero. The term with the highest degree of the variable in polynomial functions is called the leading term. All subsequent terms in a polynomial function have exponents that decrease in value by one.

The Association stand at the 2 day conference
was as busy as ever. It was lovely to meet old and new members and touch base
with associated professions who we work with in the workplace and to promote
OH. We signed up over 40 members and Ivan Ong has been picked at random to
receive a copy of Contemporary Occupational Health Nursing.
The main topics that are of relevance to us that
seemed to come out of the conference (in the opinion of Sarah Mogford) were as follows:
1) The NMC consultation regards revalidation. We
gather that the response to the consultation so far is quite low. It is really
important to respond to the consultation - the implication of the new
revalidation proposals are significant. Feedback from e.g. one disgruntled HR
'client' could have significant impact on an individual's future in the
If you haven't already gone to the website and
had your say, I would strongly urge you to take 10 minutes, get a cup of tea
and do it.
2) Again, the topic of professional indemnity
cover - especially in light of NMC changes - was much talked over. So many OH
practitioners are not aware that e.g. the RCN cover is not valid unless you are
employed. It is important that you are certain of your employment status, that
if you are self employed, that you do have appropriate cover. We are fortunate
to have a close working relationship with Unite, for those of you who are
employed and with Brett and Randall for those of you who are self employed, or
not covered by an employers cover. The MDU offer professional indemnity cover
(I personally use the MDU, with a separate business insurance policy) and
clinical advice for their members, but do not cover what they consider to be
employment issues. There is certainly no 'one size fits all' answer to
insurance cover for OH professionals - it not only depends on your employment
status, but what sort of work you are doing as to what cover is best for you.
If you are unsure, please have a look on the website. Brett & Randall
are happy to talk to members and advise on individual circumstances. If you
need a contact, please go through Linda, our administrator, through email@example.com
or through the phone number 08452255937
3) The 'single voice' project. This is the
proposal that OH moves forward under one banner, with a number of 'colleges'
representing the current different professionals that work within the
workplace. The idea is that working as a single unit, with a college
established by royal charter, it could have far more impact that the current
(despite best efforts) disparate voices. I am aware from speaking to some of
you that there are concerns that the OHA voice could be lost and loose it's
independence within an organisation. Some are also concerned that this will
essentially be a 'doctor led' initiative. I met with Hilary Todd from the SOM
who has been working to bring this huge project into being, and put these
points to her. She is emphatic that the college structure will ensure that all
strands will have an equal voice, be that voice of an ergonomist, a
occupational physic, an OHA or an OHP. Although this initiative has been under
the 'umbrella' of SOM, it has been brought forward with stakeholders from all
backgrounds, indeed our own Christina Butterworth has been key in the
discussions. Hilary is very keen to reassure anyone still concerned that this
will not drown out the OH voice, in fact it will do the opposite as the
structure will give it far more authority. If you need more information about
the proposals.
Contemporary Occupational Health Nursing - A Guide for PractitionersThe AOHNP have written a new text book for OH nurses. Edited by Greta Thornbory it was mostly written by the AOHNP board members who are all experienced and practicing occupational health nurses. Publishers, Routledge, said they were enthusiastic about the project, particularly as there has not been a new occupational health nursing book for five years.The book is now available in electronic format through the Amazon Kindle, Apple and Google books.
The book consists of 10 chapters including ones on public health, leadership, health promotion, health surveillance, health assessment, case management and rehabilitation, managing mental health, managing OH services, epidemiology, research and quality assurance and auditing. Woven through each chapter will be the ethical issues of nursing practice together with further reading and links to resources.

Are you sick of talking about shitty defensemen? Let's watch some friggin' hockey!
Binghamton won two out of the three games they played on this hectic CBA weekend.
I'm so happy to be watching hockey with all of my friends at Silver Seven one last time
Things started slow for Jakob Silfverberg, but his production has picked up significantly in the past four weeks to the point that he's now leading the team in scoring.
Bingo took on the Portland Pirates on Friday night, cruising to a 6-1 victory for their ninth straight win.
It's our game day thread for the weekends' actual hockey games, so eff off NHL.
Robin Lehner is tearing up the AHL for the Binghamton Senators, after sludging it up the past two seasons. Despite his ineffective AHL career so far, there were plenty of signs this kind of season...
The Binghamton Senators won 5-2 over the Adirondack Phantoms on Friday night, but the score wasn't the only thing worth writing home about--emotions boiled over late in the second and a line brawl...
So after attending the Cornwall First Assist Charity Classic, it was time for the second hockey trip of the week to Binghamton. Jonathan von Teichman and Dan Bergeron, co-presidents of the Hat...
Binghamton had two games this weekend, both of which were against the Norfolk Admirals. They split the games, winning 4-3 before losing 4-2. We take a look at some of BInghamton's Heroes and Zeroes.

Firefighters headed out for lunch spotted a burning building in North Fort Myers Wednesday afternoon.
The North Fort Myers fire chief and assistant chief were headed out around 12:30 p.m. when they spotted smoke.
They found a house at 814 Pine Tree Drive fully engulfed in flames.
The house was for rent, but reportedly had no tenants.
Firefighters doused the flames, but the house was destroyed. No one was injured.
Assistant Fire Chief John Meredith says he was in the right place at the right time.
"Me and the chief were driving down the road and we saw the smoke, so we went to investigate," he said. "We don't normally just roll up on a fire. Normally it's called in by someone."
Investigators say it is too early to determine if the fire was suspicious.

Breast pain (mastalgia) — a common complaint among women — can include breast tenderness, sharp burning pain or tightness in your breast tissue. The pain may be constant or it may occur only occasionally.
Breast pain can range from mild to severe. It can affect you just a few days a month, for instance just before your period, or can last for seven days or more each month. Breast pain may affect you just before your period or it may continue throughout the menstrual cycle. Postmenopausal women sometimes have breast pain, but breast pain is more common in younger, premenopausal women and perimenopausal women.
Most times, breast pain signals a noncancerous (benign) breast condition and rarely indicates breast cancer. Still, unexplained breast pain that doesn't go away after one or two menstrual cycles or that persists after menopause and occurs in one specific area of your breast needs to be evaluated by your doctor.
Most cases of breast pain are classified as either cyclic or noncyclic. Each type of breast pain has distinct characteristics.
Extramammary breast pain
The term extramammary means "outside the breast." Extramammary breast pain feels like it starts in the breast, but its source is actually somewhere else. Pulling a muscle in your chest, for example, can cause pain in your chest wall or rib cage.
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if breast pain:
Although breast cancer risk is low in women whose main symptom is breast pain, if your doctor recommends an evaluation, it's important to follow through.
Sometimes, it's not possible to identify the exact cause of breast pain. Contributing factors may include one or more of the following:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor, a general practitioner or other care provider. In some cases, when you call to set up an appointment, you may be referred immediately to a breast health specialist.
What you can do
The initial evaluation of your breast pain focuses on your medical history. You'll discuss with your doctor the location of the breast pain, its relation to your menstrual cycle and any other relevant breast history that might explain the cause of your pain. To prepare for this discussion:
For breast pain, basic questions to ask your doctor include:
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor may ask you questions such as:
Your doctor may also assess your personal risk of breast cancer, based on factors such as your age, family medical history and prior history of precancerous breast lesions.
Tests to evaluate your condition may include:
For many women, breast pain resolves on its own over time. You may not need any treatment.
If you do require treatment, your doctor might recommend that you:
Even though there is little research to show the effectiveness of these self-care remedies, some may be worth a try:
Vitamins and dietary supplements may lessen breast pain symptoms and severity for some women. Ask your doctor if one of these might help you — and ask about doses and any possible side effects:
If you try a supplement for breast pain, stop taking it if you don't notice any improvement in your breast pain after a few months.

With the 49th pick in SB Nation's 2012 NFL mock draft, the San Diego Chargers select Clemson TE Dwayne Allen.
Antonio Gates has been banged up at times in the last few years, and he's not getting any younger. Allen provides some insurance for the Chargers at that position.
SB Nation's Bolts From The Blue explains the pick:
There are a number of players available here for the Chargers to like including a couple of pass rushers and running backs. The Chargers currently don't have a lot of room on the depth chart for anything more than a project at OLB and that perhaps isn't the best use of a 2nd round pick. The team does have a hole at backup RB, but the top players available aren't the best compliments to current starter Ryan Mathews. Instead, the Bolts will go elsewhere for help where there is similar value at this point in the draft and that can contribute now and in the future. That player is TE Dwayne Allen out of Clemson. A.J. Smith has talked this offseason about making the offense dominant enough to keep other teams off the field and Norv Turner is one of the best at scheming ways to occupy safeties. Adding another threat at TE can only help that. It allows Antonio Gates to shift outside some and create matchup problems. It also provides insurance for years to come against any future injuries to Gates. Allen isn't a finished product and might take time to get on the field consistently, but that shouldn't be a problem early in the season with the other offensive weapons available. But as he improves, so should the offense. Expect the RB position to be addressed in the next couple rounds and that project at OLB to come later. Some offensive line depth is still a priority as well.
For more analysis of the pick, visit Mocking The Draft.
SB Nation's Bears blog, Windy City Gridiron, is on the clock with the 50th pick.

In 2003, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that approximately 4,700 pedestrians were killed and another 70,000 injured due to pedestrian-vehicle crashes. On average, a pedestrian is killed in a traffic collision every 113 minutes and injured every eight minutes. This problem-oriented guide for police by Justin A. Heinonen and John E. Eck examines the problem of pedestrian-vehicle crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities. It then provides a series of questions to help law enforcement analyze their local pedestrian injury and fatality problem. Finally, it reviews responses to the problem and what is known about them from evaluative research and police practice.

|Pick a sport or two, beat the winter blues
By Kurt Krueger
IF?YOU?SUFFER from long-winter syndrome and the depression that comes from being locked up at home for days on end, often called cabin fever, there might be a cure.
The only way I've found to beat the winter blues is to stay active, and there's plenty of easy-access winter sports to pick from. Active doesn't mean sitting in front of a television or computer at home. Some people don't have a choice, and that's all the more reason to get out if you can.If you can handle the weather,

Logan, who plans a career in nursing, was sponsored by the Marvin Lee Ferguson Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4850 and its Ladies Auxiliary, and attended the 2013 Veterans of Foreign Wars Community Activities Conference earlier this month in Washington, D.C.
Black took first place at the Alabama State Department of Veterans of Foreign Wars Voice of Democracy audio-essay competition to advance to the national level. He advanced to the state competition after placing first at the district and local level after entering the competition in November at the Marvin Lee Ferguson VFW Post 4850 in Jasper.
"This is so exciting, as far as we can determine we've never had one of our local Voice of Democracy winners win first place at both the District and State level, little on become one of the top winners at the national level," said Paulette Murray, Post 4850 Ladies Auxiliary Scholarship chairman. "To have Logan representing our Post in Washington, D.C. was just fantastic. We are all very proud of him."
Each year, more than 45,000 high school students from across the country enter to win a share of the $2.2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the VFW's Voice of Democracy audio-essay competition.
The VFW established the Voice of Democracy (VOD) program in 1947 to provide students in grades 9-12 the opportunity to express themselves in regards to democratic ideas and principles. The national first-place winner receives a $30,000 scholarship paid directly to the recipient's American university, college or vocational/technical school of choice. Other national scholarships range from $1,000 to $16,000, and the first-place winner from each state VFW department wins an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.
Black, who is the son of Ryan and Kelley Black of Jasper and the grandson of Tommy and Brenda Holly of Jasper and Juanita Black of Sumiton, said he decided to enter the local competition after his father read about it in the Daily Mountain Eagle.
The theme for this year's competition was "Is Our Constitution Still Relevant" and students in grades 9-12 from around Walker County were eligible to participate. Each participant had to record a three to five minute speech on a cassette or audio CD regarding the theme, and each speech was judged on originality, content and delivery.
"I had no idea I would get this far. I guess anything can happen if you just give something a try," said Black, who has also been invited to attend the Freedom Foundation in Valley Forge, Penn., in June.

Woman Sentenced To Death For Bad Talking Islam
Christian woman sentenced to death in Pakistan
Death Sentence Handed Down
In Pakistan, a Christian women is sentenced to death for making a derogatory comment about Islam's Quaran and it's prophet.
The Story
The women being sentenced to death was working on a field with a group of Muslim women. When she brought water to them the Muslim women refused to drink the water because she's a Christian and should not touch the water bowl.
A few days after this incident, the Muslim women filed a complaint to the local police saying that the women allegedly made the following comment after they refused to drink her water: (Translated)
"The Quran is fake and your prophet remained in bed for one month before his death because he had worms in his ears and mouth. He married Khadija just for money and after looting her, kicked her out of the house."
In case you're wondering; this is no joke!
The women is a Christian minority in a Muslim nation. She's 45 years old and has four children. She has been in prison since June 2009, and is now sentenced to death. She proclaims her innocence and says the accusations are false. She also says that she is being persecuted for her Christian beliefs in a Muslim majority nation.
This is wrong on so many levels.
First of all, it's just words. Simple harmless words. In Norway, you won't even receive a death sentence if you killed ten people in cold blood.
Not only is it the most ridiculous reason for a death sentenced I've heard, but there's also has no evidence of the comment taking place. It's their words against her words. Also, keep in mind that the Muslim women's accusations came several days after the allegedly incident took place.
Lastly, what about the discrimination from the Muslim women in the first plays? I actually think that was worse than the allegedly comment.

The Columbia Tribune is reporting that the Insight Bowl will match up Missouri and Iowa.
That's a nice little matchup for a mid-tier bowl: the Tigers surprised this year, going 10-2 and upsetting Oklahoma, and the Hawkeyes started strong and walloped Michigan State at home before fading fast. Missouri and Iowa will play this year's Insight Bowl in Tempe, Arizona on December 28 at 10 p.m. Eastern.
A good matchup to watch will be Iowa's front four against Missouri's good quarterback, Blaine Gabbert. When the Hawkeyes' line was really rolling earlier in the year, it was able to both stuff the run and put pressure on quarterbacks. Gabbert's proven to be a capable heir to Chase Daniel at Missouri this season, but the Tigers often have to win games through the air. If Iowa can pressure him, will he make the decisions necessary to get Missouri the win?
You'll have to wait a few weeks to find out. I know, I know: the suspense is killing me, too.

For example he describes how CARE played a significant role in mobilizing support for western intervention in

Except for a brief mention of the 'scramble for Africa' in the late nineteenth century, a broader historical survey of the topic – which would surely show that military aggression is always justified in humanitarian terms – is sadly lacking. Even Adolf Hitler was at pains to highlight how he was "no longer willing to remain inactive" while "millions of human beings" were ill-treated in Czechoslovakia in 1938.
However, despite these reservations The Thin Blue Line is undoubtedly a thought-provoking, accessible and well-referenced book about a complex and controversial topic. Foley's analysis deserves to be widely read and studied closely.

Snowy roads will mean slower response times for ambulances.
"Realistically, you could have a response time of 20 minutes," said Deputy Chief Tom Collins, Director of the Medical Bureau for the Kansas City Fire Department.
Ambulances may look mighty but they are not unstoppable, even with dual tires and on-spot chains.
"They get around very good on the snow," Collins said. "But if you get a deep snow, nothing really gets around because the snow builds up underneath and then that stops the tires."
That's why the department will be positioning its three pickups and four brush buggies throughout the metro. Both vehicles are 4-wheel-drive and high off the ground. The pickup can even transport a patient in a pinch.
"It does have the brackets that we can hook a cot in, just like we do in the back of the ambulances," Collins explained. "The head room is not optimal to move a patient, but we can put a patient in here and get them out of some of those side streets where we have difficulty moving patients around and where we can't get the ambulances into."
It's a great resource but a limited one, so often a crew that gets stuck can get to a patient on foot faster than a 4-wheel-drive can arrive.
That's what happened at East 74th and Oak street last year when an ambulance got stuck on the tall part of a rut created by a snow plow. The ambulance made it down Oak but got stuck turning onto 74th Street. The crew was there responding to a call about a heart attack.
"As soon as the wheels got stuck, they jumped out of the ambulance and were booking it to his house," David Kissick said. "There was hardly any delay."
Kissick was one of about a dozen neighbors who swiftly dug out the problem area while the rescue crew went to work on their neighbor inside his home.
That neighbor, Patrick Gettino, died days later, but Kissick says Gettino was breathing when the crew wheeled him away.
"It's unfortunate," Kissick said. "Pat was a big part of this neighborhood and meant a lot to his neighbors, but we tried our best and the ambulance crew did their job."

Leading sustainable innovation; dairy farm in southern Michigan completes installation of 19.2 KW Solar PV Power Plant
Michigan based Sustainable Energy Financing, LLC (SEF) recently designed, financed, and installed a 19.2 KW Solar PV project on a 300 cow dairy farm in Jonesville, Michigan.
The ground mounted solar array will produce around 10% of the farm's annual electricity demand with little ongoing operations and maintenance costs. The owners of DenningSons Farms, Steve and Doug Denning, installed the project because it made sense from both an economic and environmental perspective. In addition, all components were manufactured from companies in the United States, and labor to complete the installation utilized local companies and firms contributing to the overall sustainability of the project. Jonesville based Heath Electric, LLC managed all electrical connection and installation of equipment for the project.
Through a combination of electricity savings and government grants secured by SEF, the farm was able to realize a strong return on their investment as well as leverage low interest financing through a government loan program for renewable energy projects on dairy farms.
The farm expects the project to have a life of at least 25 years. In conjunction with the Solar PV, numerous energy efficiency measures are being taken to lower electricity demand. SEF works with agricultural entities throughout the country to help them address rising electricity costs. According to Dan Kuipers, SEF Managing Director, the company's main focus has been with greenhouses, crop farms, dairy farms, and other agricultural businesses with high-energy demand and an ability to take advantage of the depreciation and tax credits available for renewable energy projects. "Often clients are surprised at the wide range of solutions, technical and financial, that we are able to present in our energy audits and project feasibility studies. Additionally, clients appreciate that we are a solutions based organization, working with them to secure financing and install the project."
