I am not a member at Third space but I had heard great things about it and have gone as a guest a few times and knew they had a full service medical centre. So, when I hurt my back recently I decided to go to Third space medical to see a chiropractor and was not disappointed.
The facility is really nice and the treatment rooms are big, comfortable and well designed. I was worried that I would be treated as a second class citizen as I am not a member of the gym but that was never the case. The staff was completely welcoming.
I had a fantastic therapist, mariam, who took the time to massage my back, explain what was wrong and then to do some manipulative work to reset some areas of my back which were out of place and causing me the pain. I was told that I might feel some discomfort in the first day but I have to say I walked away feeling better and within a day I was nearly 100%.
I would highly recommend Third Space Medical and I have to say that they were more reasonably priced than most places in the area. The only downside was that it took a day and a half to see someone as they were busy but turned out to be well worth the wait.

I simply started using it. Yesterday I have noticed that Resource Monitor showing the Total memory as 2814mb but the manual says that 3072mb. One stranger thing I have noticed that 258mb of memory is "Hardware reserved". Does anyone know what it is actually? Why this memory is divided like that?

These are calligraphy felt markers with the chisel-shaped point. I have been using them for years and have been very satisfied. Yes, I have my old Osmiroid fountain pens and some others for formal work, but for something to carry around in your pocket that you can count on not leaking yet still give you good quality on the spot, I keep coming back to these markers by Speedball. Unlike hard metal nibs, you can rotate the point to get an extremely fine line at all angles, so they work for a good everyday pen too. They've gotten hard to find lately so I was happy to see that Overstock.com still had them available.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? good photo
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? good, if limited
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. high
Great product and great service. I would purchase more products from Overstocked.
These pens are excellent for the cards I send. The colors are bright and vibrant and they ink doesn't bleed or run.

Everton's England midfielder Barkley signs new contract
Everton star Ross Barkley has signed a new four-year deal.
Everton star Ross Barkley has signed a new four-year deal.
Barkley: "It didn't take any persuading. As soon as I got told about it I wanted to sign." http://t.co/8tN2n3noHL #EFC— Everton (@Everton)
July 29, 2014
The 20-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a meteoric rise since breaking into the first team at the start of last season and was included in the England squad for this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
Barkley, who has had loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds, has won nine England caps so far and was named on the shortlist for last season's PFA Young Player of the Year Award.
"It means everything to me," said Barkley. "It's a dream playing for Everton. As soon as I got told about it I wanted to sign.
"I've played for Everton most of my life. This is a big thing for me."
Manager Roberto Martinez believes tying down the England midfielder's long-term future is a significant achievement.
"Ross has signed a new contract to reflect his new role and development," said the Everton boss.
"When you talk about assembling squads and getting ready for the new seasons for us it is as big news as you can get.
"Ross is still a young man and there is a long way to go in his development but as it stands he is a massive part of our squad.
"It is a big moment as every Evertonian will tell you Ross Barkley is the sort of player everyone would love to pay to watch him play.
"He brings back memories of the big legends we've had at the club. But saying that he is a young man and his best years are yet to come."

Dr. Mundo, the Madman of Zaun hardly has the traditional intellectual look expected from a scientist. Regardless, experiments are what have made him this way and he would surely say this is the way he pleases. Therefore, if you want to look good where you please take a look at his skins' review; before Mundo reviews himself.
|Dr. Mundo with green skins.
|New textures for Dr. Mundo and his cleaver.
|No new particles.
|No new animations.
|No new sounds.
|Splash Art:
|First thing: no background, just a green mist surrounding Dr. Mundo to fill space. Second: it looks like a retouched snapshot of Mundo's three-dimensional model; the fingers are quite telling. Besides the polygonal outline, the shading looks a bit rough but sort of works. Lastly, in spite of the fact that it serves as a basic portrayal, it's a thorough disappointment.
|Toxic Dr. Mundo is as simple as it can be: same doctor but with green skin. The clothes and cleaver are also re-textured but there's no big difference. The core is the green skin and also all that is really offered. Unless you really like the new colour, Toxic Dr. Mundo is a skin that isn't very interesting.
|Dr. Mundo dressed for a session at the gym.
|Minor model changes for Dr. Mundo and new textures for his cleaver.
|No new particles.
|No new animations.
|No new sounds.
|Splash Art:
|A plain and modest room is the place for Gym Mundo where Dr. Mundo trains to become Mr. Universe. All in all, there's more in the imagination that in the background: it's all rather empty and simple. This stands in contrast to Mundo's portrayal which has bright colours and detailed precision; except for the fact that Mundo has only three toes per foot and that darker areas are diffuse. Still, despite the exaggerations proper of the style Mundo looks good. Therefore, this is a piece with a disappointing background that serves as a good portrait.
|Mr. Mundoverse has a suitable concept for this muscular doctor but with an execution that doesn't fully realize it. There's just a few clothes added but while they are fitting they clash with the multiple remnants of Classic Dr. Mundo. A pair of snickers and maybe dumbbells would have helped further the concept. Regardless, as it is, it suggests its concept instead of implementing it so it feels quite lacklustre.
|Dr. Mundo as a business manager.
|Moderate model changes for Dr. Mundo and new model for his cleaver.
|New particles for Infected Cleaver.
|New animation when standing idle, walking and for his laugh.
|New quotes for Infected Cleaver and Sadism plus new voice-over.
|Splash Art:
|The background does a respectable work at depicting a manager's office: there's a messy file cabinet, an equally untidy trash can, a surprisingly ordered desk and an antique mini-bar. Still, there's quite some space solely filled with simple colours plus the bustling city is hardly discernible through the window. Dr. Mundo also suffers from mixed quality: the legs seem to dissolve in the desk but the upper body is sharply outlined and clearly shaded. On the whole, it's an acceptable splash art that could be better but still does a reasonable job.
|Corporate Mundo is an obvious joke skin but despite its seemingly forced premise it manages to stay funny; to an extent. The model is nothing surprising yet correct. It could be said that the look is a bit too casual and a bit too Elvis-like but it works. The paper trail used when throwing his case is a good touch but it seems as if the skin could do more but stayed at just enough. Additionally, the funny quotes double as references so they don't become tedious as fast as a simple joke would do. In general, Corporate Mundo implements its concept rather well and, jokes aside, displays management with a healthy dose of sarcasm. It's still not as groundbreaking as a legendary skin should be but remains a good choice.
|Dr. Mundo wearing a costume of himself.
|Moderate model changes for Dr. Mundo and new model for his cleaver.
|No new particles.
|No new animations.
|New sound for Infected Cleaver.
|Splash Art:
|The background is diffuse, dark and feels empty in some places. However, the clothes hanger display is filled with champion references and adds much needed depth to the picture; like the peeking Shaco on the right. Dr. Mundo in front of a mirror is an interesting idea to show his front and back alike; though the front is largely occluded. The depiction is alright but the lower body looks blurry just like Mundo's reflection. Overall, it's not a bad piece but the idea of Mundo surrounded by champion's costumes is better than the final result.
|Mundo Mundo is a skin with a concept that seems clever but that in practice isn't as funny or interesting as it appeared. In fact, the look is simply too similar to Classic Dr. Mundo and, while intended, it just doesn't add much. In the end, the idea is executed but it's hardly attractive. In conclusion, Mundo Mundo is a skin that looks better on paper and that doesn't provide enough for its price.
|Dr. Mundo dressed as an executioner.
|Moderate model changes for Dr. Mundo and new model for his cleaver.
|No new particles.
|No new animations.
|No new sounds.
|Splash Art:
|The background is a disappointing mud of colours that barely hint at an execution ground. Truth be told, the wooden structures as well as the sky seem to have been painted with the same colour so the difference is simply tone. Fortunately, Dr. Mundo's depiction is appropriately more colourful: the lines are correct and the shading quite good. In fact, the banding of colours actually strengthens the visceral nature of his role. To sum up, a terrible background backs a great portrayal thus making for an interesting but flawed splash art.
|Executioner Mundo is a rather straightforward skin that dresses the mad doctor in some fancy clothes and gives him a double bladed axe; even though a single bladed axe would been better suited. The result is a definitely stylized but appealing executioner's look. Fortunately, Dr. Mundo is quite a good fit for this concept and so the communion of elements works very well. Regardless, the skin doesn't do much to develop the theme, just clothes and an axe, but it's effective enough to communicate the idea clearly. In the end, Executioner Mundo is a nice skin but could've been much better with more work. Nonetheless, at its price and considering how well Mundo adapts to the executioner role it's certainly a great choice for Mundo fans.
|Dr. Mundo as an orc warrior.
|New model for Dr. Mundo and his cleaver.
|No new particles.
|New walking and standing idle animations.
|No new sounds.
|Splash Art:
|The background shows the barren land that surrounds a castle; which provides a setting but still leaves the piece feeling empty. Dr. Mundo appears on the right, with a dynamic pose, as he throws his axe. The stance certainly catches the eye but it also conceals most of Mundo's body so that only a fraction can be seen. What is depicted does look good. Besides, the shading is great: the texture of the metal or the skin is detailed and believable. Regardless, it's a splash art that draws attention to the subject but doesn't display him in the best of ways. Not a bad piece but not as useful as it should be.
|Rageborn Mundo is a very interesting skin as its concept represents something alien but fitting in the League of Legends: an orc warrior. The model shows a lot of polish with great textures that make both metal and skin look fantastic. The axe is also sensibly proportioned so that it can be easily thrown yet remain useful in close quarters. Unfortunately, the skin doesn't do much else to further the theme. The animations added are different but only marginally from the classic ones. Therefore, Rageborn Mundo is a skin that looks good and seems destined for excellence but doesn't do enough to actually reach it.
|Mundo as a triumphant e-sports player.
|New model for Dr. Mundo and his cleaver.
|No new particles.
|No new animations.
|New sounds for his auto-attack and Infected Cleaver.
|Splash Art:
|The background suggests a big arena where the audience clamours for the champions. At least the lights of such incredible place are visible because the rest is just the imagination working. The champions are clearly portrayed though, but their simultaneous exposition makes them compete for attention.
Regardless, they manage to convey a bit of their personality in the depiction: Mundo is brutal and towering, Orianna vaguely humane, Ezreal overconfident, Shen sneaky while Nunu and Willump display their close teamwork. In parts they seem to be escaping from the diffuse maws of the background but the portrayals are correct anyway.
All in all, it's a nice splash art that displays a team of champions celebrating the fruit of their labour. While it's unclear in certain parts each champion has its place. Nevertheless, it's a piece that seems better suited for a presentation of the full set of TPA champions than to be used in individual spotlights.
|The first impression that TPA Mundo gives is that of an uninspired and simple concept. At large, it's just Mundo in casual clothes with a cup instead of a cleaver. The healthy dose of Mundo brutality in the gamer world is suggested but without a new proper voice-over it stays as just that. At least, what the skin lacks in originality it makes up for with consistency: when hitting someone with the cup the sound is appropriately hollow and metallic. Regardless, it's not a look that seems special despite not being bad at all. TPA Mundo isn't a awful choice but it's potential isn't exploited much.
|Dr. Mundo wearing his favourite Hawaiian shirt and straw hat with his trusty ukulele.
|New model for Dr. Mundo and his cleaver.
|New particles for Infected Cleaver and Burning Agony.
|New recall animation.
|New sounds for his auto-attack and recall.
|Splash Art:
|A clear sky, fresh water and some palm trees make up the setting for this piece. There seems to be a strange fog as the trees don't seem to be so far away. Regardless, there's some context to the action. The champions all share the spotlight and, fortunately, they all have a place; even Pix. It could be said that some seem more important than others but the feeling of fun is easy to perceive. What isn't so clear is how the personality of each champion is reflected in their actions. In fact, the actions performed seem to be rather pedestrian and lack the unique colour that is natural to each of them. Specifically, Zac is just standing, Lulu and Mundo merely float away and Rek'Sai and Draven perform a stunt. Therefore, none of them do something that is unequivocally identified as part of their personality.
This all doesn't mean that the piece is bad: the idea is clearly exposed and as far as a pool or beach party is concerned the message is conveyed. It's just a pity that Zac can't be more elastic, Draven more egocentric, Rek'Sai more alien, Lulu more mischievous and Mundo more nutty. In the end, it's a splash art that manages a balance between the champions and places them in context but without showing enough of what makes each of them unique.
|Knowing the Madman's personality a funny skin would be a reasonable fit. However, Pool Party Mundo doesn't exploit the Doctor's lack of sanity as it could. Firstly, Mundo is dressed in new, reasonable clothing that could precede the madness to come, but said madness never arrives. That's because the skin is actually little more than a change of clothes and even his classic body takes up much of what is visible. There are a couple new particles but they are frail and contribute little to the theme. The auto-attack sounds are more noticeable but they can't, on their own, define the skin's identity. Only the recall does manage to convey some of the craziness that one expects from Mundo and it still feels brief and too familiar.
This results in Pool Party Mundo being an underdeveloped skin. The stage is set for something memorable but the actor mostly stands still being himself. There's little that is unique to the skin and what can be found doesn't do much to develop the theme. Therefore, Pool Party Mundo isn't much more than a re-model, a change of clothes actually, at a price that is a bit too high for what it offers. It leaves the sour taste of a wasted opportunity.
Dr. Mundo's skins mostly centre on his brutality and lack of common sense; or even sense at all. In spite of that, there are a few interesting choices. Rageborn Mundo is a great skin as it's not only the most elaborate but also provides a novel concept for the League of Legends. Still, it doesn't manage to excel and while a great choice it's not as good as it could've been.
Still, there isn't much Mundo in an orc so Executioner Mundo becomes a less developed yet wildly attractive choice. Both Mundo's nature and the skin's theme go hand in hand but not much was done to exploit it. Nevertheless, the executioner role works great in Mundo and it makes this skin greatly recommended.
The potential of Pool Party Mundo for a crazy skin is palpable but the execution doesn't take the bull by the horns and instead makes a weak exposition of beach lunatic. All the madness and ensuing humour one expects is nowhere to be found and we are left with, essentially, just Hawaiian clothes and a banjo. If that's enough for you then know that it's a bit expensive for what little it offers.
Finally, Corporate Mundo is a skin that dedicated Mundo fans will probably enjoy. The management parody is rather well done but not at a level that would make it satisfying for a legendary skin. Nonetheless, it's an appealing option that does its theme justice even though it doesn't impress.

Have You Tried These 3 Tips To Get Out Of Debt?
A lot of people spend money on their credit card without giving a second thought to the payments — until the statement comes at the end of the month. By that time you may not have the money to make the payment. This leads to late payments, late fees, and a diminishing credit score — no one wants that.

The Ultimate Guide to Paying Off and Managing Your Student Loans – Part 1
I saw a meme the other day that read: "Dear Sallie Mae, If it's that serious, you can come get this degree. I'm not using it anyway…" All kidding aside, even if that was possible, most of us wouldn't dream of it – blood, sweat and tears go into earning a college degree! Unfortunately for many, however, the bleeding, sweating and crying doesn't stop on graduation day. It is estimated that two-thirds of American college graduates carry some level of student loan debt with an average load of $26k. More often than not, folks are carrying this debt well beyond graduation. The current level of student loan debt in America now exceeds $1.2 trillion, the second largest form of consumer loan debt behind mortgages. With those kinds of numbers, it's no wonder there is a lot … [Read more...]

How to Get Credit Card and Bank Fees Reversed
Never underestimate the power of a phone call. Seriously. That one person-to-person call can help you get out of all sorts of fees and penalties as far as your credit card companies and banks are concerned. If you have ever opened a bank or credit card statement only to be shocked at a fee you don't recognize, here are the steps you need to follow. Keep in mind that these techniques don't always work. There are some fees and penalties that can't be waived-regardless of customer service implications. The good news is that in many cases, your bank or credit card company would rather retain your business than collect on a relatively small fee. Step #1: Get a clear understanding of the fee or penalty involved Chances are, if you are like most consumers, you didn't even bother to read … [Read more...]
Because Emergencies Happen And Sometimes We're Not Ready
Take a look at your bank account. Would your balance have enough to cover a sudden emergency on top of your day-to-day expenses? Chances are if you're like most Americans, it doesn't. During a good week, it doesn't matter that you don't have a nest egg set aside in case of emergencies; however, you won't always be so lucky. Sometimes an unforeseen (yet unavoidable) repair to your car or trip to the clinic requires immediate cash that you just don't have. When you get hit with a bill that you can't cover, it can seem like the world is against you—your car for breaking down, your insurance for not covering your medical cost, and of course the banks for refusing to lend you money due to your poor credit. But even though it can seem like fate is out to get you, you have someone in your … [Read more...]

I. Friday's Free Practice Report
Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton finished in second and eighth places respectively today after the first practice session for the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring circuit.
• Nico and Lewis completed a total of 123 laps today, equivalent to just over two race distances, on the new Pirelli tyres
• Both drivers found an understeer balance during the day, which the team will work to improve overnight
Nico Rosberg
"It´s a great track and a lot of fun to drive here with my current Silver Arrow. It was an interesting day for us as we had to adapt to the new tyres. They are different and require a different set-up, so today was a good opportunity to learn something. We want to understand them quicker and better than the other teams. Generally it seems that we are quick again over one lap and the long run was not bad. It´s difficult to predict where we are, because you never know exactly about the fuel levels of the others. Also it´s going to get warmer on Sunday and this could change also the whole picture again."
Lewis Hamilton
"It´s been a reasonable day of practice for us. This morning went pretty well and the car felt good, but then we made some changes which didn´t quite work out for us this afternoon. The car felt a little off balance during P2 so we´ll have a look into that overnight and probably backtrack on some of those changes for tomorrow. I´m sure we will be back on form for P3."
Ross Brawn
"We had a good session of race preparation this afternoon, with our priority being to complete long runs with fuel on the new tyre construction. Both Lewis and Nico were running with understeer today, so we still have work to do to improve the car balance for them. The circuit itself was picking up grip quite quickly and we didn´t quite get the set-up correct as we tried to track it. However, the priority was to collect plenty of information about the new tyres for both tomorrow and Sunday, which we managed to do. The car seemed reasonably competitive and that´s reassuring, as we know there is still more performance to be found when the drivers are fully comfortable with the car."
Toto Wolff
"We had a solid first day in the cool conditions here. The new tyres ran without any incidents and we learned a lot about them, even if there are clearly some areas where we can still improve. The car balance was not great but both Lewis and Nico seemed quite competitive, so hopefully we can take another step forward tomorrow. The weather is forecast to warm up, so we will need to make the right changes tonight in order to anticipate the warmer conditions over the weekend."
II. Saturday's Qualifying Report
Lewis Hamilton took his second consecutive pole position this afternoon at the Nürburgring and his third of the 2013 season.
• It is the first Mercedes-Benz pole position at the German Grand Prix since Juan Manuel Fangio in 1954 at the Nordschleife
• This was Lewis' 29th career pole position, which brings him level with Juan Manuel Fangio on the all-time list
• Lewis used one set of prime tyres and three sets of options in qualifying; he will start on the option tyre tomorrow
• Nico qualified in P11 after the team misjudged the track improvement during Q2 and did not complete a second run
• Nico used one set of prime tyres and one set of options; he has a free tyre choice for tomorrow's first stint
• Lewis' pole position was the team's sixth in the past seven races of the 2013 season
Lewis Hamilton
"I'm very proud to put the car on pole for Mercedes-Benz today. I have been with Mercedes for a long time and it's a great result for us to achieve pole here in Germany. I'm a little bit overwhelmed, to be honest, because I have been struggling since first practice this weekend. We were so far off this morning that we took the set-up back to where we started, tried to analyse everything and just worked really hard to improve it. I'm so grateful for the work the engineers and mechanics did for me, and it's all down to them really. But we don't get any points for today and the real hard work comes tomorrow. It's a shame what happened to Nico this afternoon, we got caught out there but hopefully he can still have a strong race."
Nico Rosberg
"I was really shocked when I saw the times falling in Q2 today and realised that I was in P11. I didn´t see it coming and we just underestimated how much the track would ramp up in terms of grip and lap time. I could have been on the front row today and that´s why I´m so disappointed. It´s been a tough day but sometimes that's how racing is. I will be doing my best to climb up through the field tomorrow but it won´t be easy."
Ross Brawn
"It's a little bit of an understatement to say that we have mixed emotions after qualifying. Lewis put in a superb lap to take pole position. He hasn't been comfortable with the car since his first run yesterday but I could sense a quiet determination as he went into the session and he absolutely delivered. With Nico, we misjudged how quickly the track was improving and got caught out: he clearly had the pace to qualify at the front today but found himself on the wrong side of the top ten by half a tenth. Ultimately, the final decision on the pit wall rests with me and it's clear we could have done a better job today. For tomorrow, the only silver lining for Nico is that he has a free tyre choice for the first stint, although unusually there is a real mixture of tyre choices within the top ten as well. Looking at Lewis, we go into the race with some question marks, as we haven't done any representative running with the set-up we now have on the car. Hopefully, he will find the balance he needs and we will be able to give Red Bull, Ferrari and Lotus a run for their money."
Toto Wolff
"The team is on an upward slope at the moment and we saw that with Lewis taking his second pole position in a row. But I'm super sorry for Nico. We got things wrong in Q2 and not only did he have the pace to fight for pole today but he has also been instrumental in getting the car right since yesterday. We win as a team and we take our setbacks as a team too. Decisions have to be taken and we made the wrong one this time. But tomorrow is another day and hopefully Nico can have a strong race from P11. As for Lewis, everything is open for him. He put in great qualifying laps today after some tough practice sessions. We know that it will be a hard race in the hot conditions, so let's see what we can achieve."
III. Sunday's Race Report
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg finished the German Grand Prix in fifth and ninth places today at the Nürburgring.
• After starting from pole, Lewis finished in P5, despite running as low as P10 just 15 laps from the finish
• Lewis claimed P5 with a passing move on Jenson Button in the first sector of the final lap of the race
• He made three pit stops on laps 6, 22 and 45, running option/prime/prime/prime tyres, with the best average pit lane time
• Nico started from P11 on the prime tyre and was running in P16 on lap 49 at the start of his final stint on option tyres
• During the final eleven laps, Nico gained seven positions and ran on the same pace as the leading cars
• Nico's P9 finish, coupled with 10 points for Lewis, mean the team remains second in the Constructors' standings
Lewis Hamilton
"That was really a tough race out there for us today. I didn't have a great start and the Red Bulls were much quicker off the line, dropping me back to third. We really struggled with the second set of tyres which then compromised the rest of my race. It's a real shame as the team are working so hard and doing such a good job. We've clearly got a good car but for some reason, it doesn't work in these hot conditions. We'll keep working on it and the positive from today is that we were able to recover to fifth place with a good strategy and great pit stops, and we're still second in the Constructors' table. Hopefully we'll have a better chance at the next race but, for now, there's a lot of hard work ahead of us."
Nico Rosberg
"The car didn´t feel so nice to drive today. We struggled a lot with the rear tyres and that´s why we weren´t able to match the pace of the guys in the front. Even so, I had a bit of fun when I changed to the option tyres and could really push to at least score a few points. But we need to understand the new tyres a bit more because it seems that the new construction has shuffled things around, especially in these hot conditions. We have to do a lot of work in the next weeks to make sure we arrive in Hungary in good shape."
Ross Brawn
"Our first thoughts today go to the cameraman who was struck by an errant wheel in the pit lane. Happily, he does not appear to have suffered serious injuries but it was once again a reminder of the dangers of our sport and underlines the need for constant vigilance in terms of safety. Today was a race of two halves for us. In the first part, we were once again overstressing the tyres - particularly on the prime compound - and our performance fell away as a result. However, as the temperatures cooled off a little and things settled down, both drivers had respectable pace and were able to fight their way back through the field. Lewis and Nico kept pushing until the final lap and were rewarded for their commitment and determination. At one point it didn't look like we would come away with much at all from this afternoon, so there has to be a certain satisfaction in saving 12 points today. We have said all along that there is still a question mark over our performance in hotter conditions, and today's race showed that we still have work to do. We have made big steps forward since Bahrain and Barcelona, where we particularly suffered with hotter track temperatures, and our performance was much improved compared to those races. But we have not yet done enough to convert our Saturday pace into race-winning speed in all conditions on Sunday. The three-week break until Hungary will give us an opportunity to think about how we can make further progress on our tyre management as well as continuing to develop the core performance of the car."
Toto Wolff
"We had a real character-building afternoon here at the Nürburgring. Neither of the drivers could find any grip on the prime tyre in the first part of the race and it mirrored similar experiences we have had so far this season. We managed to recover in the second half, though, and our result was pretty respectable in the end given how things looked after the first 30 laps. Well done to both drivers for squeezing the maximum out of the car today. After such a successful weekend in Silverstone, it feels a little bit like a night and day difference for us. We need to get our heads down at the factory, properly analyse our performance and keep working hard because we know that we will see similar temperatures in Hungary to what we experienced here."

A nurse and a stay-at-home mom. These were the backgrounds of two women who have stepped up to roles in public service and currently serve in the Massachusetts Legislature. Representatives Jennifer Benson and Denise Garlick (pictured here) recently participated in a panel on women's political leadership in Massachusetts sponsored by the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy (CWPPP) at the McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies. A third panelist, Sheneal Parker, is an educator who ran a strong campaign for a seat on the Boston City Council.
As part of its "Leading Women" speaker and film series on women's public leadership, the center hosted this interactive panel to explore how women access and utilize political leadership at the local and state levels in the Commonwealth. Students in the Graduate Certificate Program for Women in Politics and Public Policy introduced panelists and posed thoughtful questions about entering and negotiating the political arena.
Representative Benson's route to political office began with her work as a school volunteer who observed firsthand the impact of funding cuts to schools. At a PTO fundraiser one day, she was asked if her husband would consider running for school committee. "It was at that moment that I decided to run for school committee," said Benson. In her first bid for a committee seat, she was opposed by a man who claimed he was more qualified since he was a businessman and she was a stay-at-home mom.
Benson, who sees politics as a "vehicle to public service," loved being on the school committee and saw that "it was the best way to advocate for my kids." Like many women, when approached about running for elective office, she felt she was not qualified and listed many reasons why she could not do it. But strong encouragement from her 13-year old daughter led to a decision to run. She recounts, "I entered the race convinced that I would lose." In that race she was opposed by a man who argued that he would be a better representative since he had a wife at home to take care of his children, and that Benson would have to leave the office to attend to her children's needs. She responded that, "'my husband and I are equal partners in the home.'" She won the race.
Sheneal Parker had very personal reasons for wanting to enter politics: her son lost his father to violence when he was two years old. A single parent supporting her family, Parker became a substitute teacher and saw great disparities in the quality of education offered at different schools. Reports on the news about violence in the city also made her fearful of letting her son walk on the streets. Determined that she "wanted to see change," she became active in the community. Parker enrolled in the EMERGE training program for Democratic women leaders and, in 2011, waged a campaign for election to the Boston City Council (District 7). Discussing the difficulties of campaigning, Parker said, "I had a 16-year old and I was never home. He said, 'Mom, do you remember you have a son?' It was very hard.'' Yet she still encourages other women to run, "especially if you have a passion about something." For the past two years, Parker has served as a research fellow at the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy in its collaborative project Pathways to Political Leadership for Women of Color with the Women's Pipeline for Change designed to inform efforts to increase the number of women of color in elected office in Massachusetts.
As a registered nurse, Representative Denise Garlick joined the negotiating committee of the nurses' union and helped address a serious indoor air quality problem where she worked. The nurses, represented by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, had the only union in the hospital at that time giving them a legal voice and avenue to advocate for health and safety issues which resulted in positive solutions that impacted the nurses and many others. She became more active and eventually was elected president of the 23,000 member state-wide organization. Later, she was elected to the Needham Board of Health and served as its chair, co-founded and co-chaired the Needham Coalition for Suicide Prevention, and was elected a selectman in her town. She was the only woman on a five member board and the only woman to serve in that capacity in many years. In that role, as an advocate for seniors and healthy aging, she took up a nearly two-decade old languishing issue and lead the successful planning and funding of a senior center which is now under construction. More recently, despite a "hard primary and a hard general election," Garlick won a seat in the Massachusetts Legislature.
Garlick offered this sage advice to women thinking about seeking elective office: "Care about something bigger than yourself—care about finding solutions. Don't be afraid of your passions. Don't be afraid of your anger about issues that hurt people as long as you channel it constructively."
At least one young woman has listened to Denise Garlick—her daughter, Monica. Although she has not chosen a political path, Monica Garlick has chosen a parallel one. After completing a degree in biological sciences at Smith College, Monica joined the PhD Program in Public Policy at UMass Boston pursuing her passion to work toward improved health policies and economic development.
Christa Kelleher, interim director of the center, commented that, "Running for elective office takes commitment, hard work, and a passion for making a difference—all of which are exemplified by Representatives Benson and Garlick as well as former Boston City Council candidate Sheneal Parker. Their overall message that women shouldn't wait to be asked to run is an important one given that Massachusetts still has a long way to go to ensure gender parity in political representation."
Select video clips from this panel are available on the center's website. The next event in the series will be held in February and will feature Fulbright Scholar Fatma Senol addressing "Women Candidates for Municipal Elected Office: Decisions, Resources, and Structures."
The Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy offers a one-year on campus graduate certificate program in Women in Politics and Public Policy and an online graduate certificate in Women's Leadership in a Global Perspective.
