We had a counselling office at school, but I never knew its actual location until that week. I never had any reason to search for it before, and I wish that I'll never have to again. After a couple of nights frantically calling Wini, we were back at school for the last day of year eleven. My friends and I have decided that the best thing we could do right then was to seek help, because we all realised that we had absolutely no idea about depression. So instead of lazing on the grass during lunch break, we went around the school in search of the counsellor.
It turned out the office was located in a corner of the second floor that I rarely passed, tucked neatly in with some science labs. There was a little note tacked onto the door that made me sigh in exasperation.
"Miss Blakeley is absent for the day. Please come back another time, or book an appointment."
It was the very last day of school! How were we supposed to come back? But my friend, Cassie, had the bright idea of leaving a note under her door. True, it was the last day of school, but we knew she would get the slip of paper because teachers didn't officially finish until a week later. The trouble was, we didn't have any paper at hand. And so we scouted around for any blank pieces.
That was when I noticed the shelf holding boxes and boxes of brochures. It was lying just beside the counsellor's door, a squat little thing that was so short I completely overlooked it. Bending over, I pulled out a yellow slip and handed it to my friend. The back of it was blank, and from a quick inspection there were plenty more there so we were free to use it. Cassie commenced writing our message, with the help from my other friend Kim. I was still completely caught up with the brochures.
"The ones on depression are here," said Kim after she realized what I was looking for, "Should we take one each?"
I came over to where she was, and Cassie followed. The message was abandoned temporarily as we searched through the tubs containing advice on how to deal with depression. Most of them were very similar, outlining the symptoms and briefly telling the readers how to react to it. I took the thickest one and skimmed through it, dog-earing the pages that contained any sort of instruction on how to aid depression recovery. Cassie and Kim took some of the other brochures, and together we shoved the box back into its place.
The bell was due to go in about five minutes, and so we frantically finished our message. I prided myself on being a writer, yet I could not find a single right word to phrase our plea for help. We couldn't say it out right, because we needed to respect Wini's privacy. But we had to sketch the situation if the counsellor's advice was going to be of any use. In the end, we managed to convey the issue in very general terms, and tacked on our contact details at the end. Hopefully that should be enough.
I didn't get around to reading the brochure until later that day, when I was alone on the train trip home. Turning to the dog-eared pages, I began to inspect each and every advice in detail. Most of it was painfully obvious. But after depression became personal and not just another illness, I couldn't view those advices in such simple terms again. Black and white words became huge areas of grey, and I struggled to see how I could apply any of these things.
How do I remain positive around her without crossing the line into being unrealistic and dismissive of her sufferings? How was I supposed to ease her pain by lending a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, if she did not want to talk about her depression at all?
It was then that I realised that there was no set formula to healing depression. No matter how logical the brochures make it, I just couldn't do it. I saw a trap with every instruction, and I was so afraid of triggering more pain than helping to heal it. And so I did the only thing I was sure of. When the clock struck five that day, I dialled Wini's number. It was the only thing in my control now, my promise to her that I'll call each day, and I was going to keep that promise no matter what.

Technical Issues Surrounding Business Succession
Practical tips divulged.
July 24, 2008
by Anthony Rizzutto, CPA/PFS
Family-owned businesses are very important to the United States economy. Unfortunately, this vital area of our financial system has a poor survival rate. There are several reasons why family businesses have a tough time making the transfer from one generation to another:
But, lack of planning is often the main cause of transfer failure.
A successful transfer from one generation to the next requires planning in at least the following four areas
The involvement of the family in setting business goals gives everyone a clear picture of the future. A family plan identifies each member's role in the business. The succession plan spells out how the generational transfer will occur and the estate plan ensures that the business goes primarily to the heirs rather than paid out in excessive estate taxes.
Business succession planning is not a complicated subject; the building blocks for a plan are quite straightforward. But the process is very complex, involving many technical and psychological issues, which sometimes overlap.
In their book, Estate & Business Succession Planning, Russell Fishkind and Robert Kautz noted, "The key to the successful transfer of a family-owned business is not only to structure the transfer in the most tax-efficient manner, but also to structure the transfer in such a manner as to simultaneously promote family harmony, continuity and leadership. The implementation of a successful plan assures the safe passing of the torch."
Issues in the Family Business
The U.S. Small Business Administration lists the following issues most family businesses face:
Succession Planning
A well-developed succession plan is the best vehicle to address many of the issues identified above. Your client's plan should consider estate and gift tax ramification, your client's willingness to let go and family members' willingness to commit to the business. A formal business valuation should be commissioned to incorporate the business succession plan into the estate plan of senior family members. The effect of the business succession plan on retirement planning and maintaining current lifestyle should also be considered.
Obstacles to Succession Planning
There are two main obstacles to succession planning. First, the senior members of the family are so immersed in the day-to-day operations of the business that they fail to realize the importance of implementing an effective business succession plan.
Second, many owners have strong personalities and feel more comfortable remaining in control. The idea of passing the torch may be perceived as a threat to that control.
If your client fails to realize the importance of succession planning soon enough, a life's work could be in jeopardy.
The Process
Passing the Torch, written by Mike Cohn, identifies seven "hurdles" one must clear to produce and implement a viable succession plan:
It is well beyond the scope of this article to delve into the nature and complexity of these tasks. They are listed here as a guidepost for the reader.
The Mission
Your clients must distinguish between their business needs and their needs as owners. Doing so will help them focus on the big picture.
Author John Brown (How to Run Your Business So You Can Leave It in Style) posed three key questions the business owner must ask:
Stephen R. Covey, in his bestseller Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, identified two important elements that apply to succession planning: (1) be proactive and (2) begin with the end in mind.
There are basically four ways your client can leave. The choices are retirement, death, disability and bankruptcy.
Retirement under terms and conditions favorable to the business owner is the most desirable choice. To accomplish this goal your client must "begin with the end in mind" and be "proactive" in the planning and implementation of the steps necessary to achieve his goal.
Beginning with the end in mind, the business owner has several options. The business can be transferred to children or other family members; it can be sold to key employees, a third-party or liquidated.
A viable succession plan is an absolute necessity if your client decides to transfer to his or her children.
Again, succession planning is not complicated. One "begins with the end in mind" and then takes a "proactive" approach to reach that end.
But the process is complex. There are technical and psychological issues to deal with such as transfer taxes, financing and sibling rivalries. What are the retirement needs of the senior members of the family? Would it be better to sell to a third party? Are family members capable of stepping into a leadership role in the family-owned business?
What an interesting and fascinating area to practice in.

BeschreibungThis gentle story about a workaholic beaver will charm kids while capturing adults with its humorous but wise lesson for all ages. Barry Beaver has almost literally one word in his vocabulary: work., He works seven days a week, straight through the Sabbath. He's convinced that he is doing his best to provide the good life for his wife, Beulah Beaver, and their eight handsome beaver children. As he toils, he mutters a string of work-related aphorisms like "When a job is once begun, never leave until it's done". Work is the only thing he understands. Nudged by the other animals, Barry at last comes to see all that he's been missing. He's resistant at first ("Too many words in a beaver's head: a dangerous thing, a thing to dread"). His wife, Beulah Beaver, nudges as well, telling him that though he may work hard out of love, having no time to show that love is not good. Finally Barry learns a new word; enough -- as in Enough is enough!

TravelPod Member ReviewsHostel Nina Mostar
Our hosts were fantastic. Hostel is clean, wifi great and proximity to the old centre is perfect. Good parking right outside the hostel and its off-street.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Close to Old Town, but about 20 to 30 minutes walking from the bus station, Hostel Nina is a nice place to stay at, run by a family, who also live there as well. If you have a cell phone with you, you can call them and have them pick you up.
Finding it can be tricky, as it is on a small street, that does not look too nice. But the directions on the booking site makes sense, as you just walk down the main street from the bus station (assuming you arrived into town there), in the direction of Old Town, passing by a cemetery.
There is a sign on one of the windows, and the entrance is up the steps on the side. Trying to open the door can be tough sometimes, as you have to be careful not to do it too hard.
The hostel feels more like a home, as mentioned before, with the owner Nina, and her family living there. More along the lines of being a guest at someone's house. The staff are great, which includes Nina's husband owning a bar in Old Town, and gave me a free drink there and has some stories to tell. There is her mother, who gave me a ride back to the bus station. And Nina herself, who runs the place. They all speak pretty good English, and give tours of the city and other parts of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The rooms are nice if small and very basic. The bathroom is more like using one at someone's house, as there is one on each floor. They are clean and well maintained. And there is one computer on the ground floor, which is free. And a kitchen as well, but it was closed when I was there.
One flaw was the room was very cold, and although the temperature was raised on the heating system, it still did not warm up the room. As a result, I was sleeping in a cold room. Another issue can be, just getting there, being quite a walk and on a small street, where the sign can be tough to find. And the family does have a kid, so noise can be an issue for some.
Other than that, this is a nice place to stay, and I would recommend staying at this place, as it's great value for the money. Wished I had more time, so I could take that tour that the hostel was offering.

Project Runway Threads: Episode 4, Brianna Look 2 (Winner)
- Varies
- Intermediate
Additional Information
Brianna's best friend, Lily, inspired her to begin designing apparel fashions when they were 13-years old. They would sew for hours after school and eventually began sewing for their neighbors as well. Brianna's favorite designer is Isabella Rose Taylor.
Gorgeous and fierce, this look was a real show stopper! Brianna's use of dainty shimmering tulle with impactful peacock feathers underlined her adventurous vision.
Tips & techniques for making smooth seams and pretty puckers:
To create gathers, loosen the top thread tension before sewing. Then pull on the bobbin thread to gather.
Seams will show through sheer fabric. Keep them neat and narrow.
For flat, neat, curved seams, cut notches in the seam allowance to the seam line for outside curves; clip the seam allowance for inside curves.

Simone Biles, Team USA gymnastics dominate in Rio
Another one-two punch for Team USA gymnastics in Rio, a first ever in floor exercise, as Houston's Simone
Biles took the gold on floor routine, and her teammate, Aly Raisman, won silver.
WATCH: Simone Biles floors judges with floor routine
Biles nailed what's come to be known as her signature event, scoring a stunning 15.966. Raisman put out her best floor yet in Rio with a 15.5.
The Americans went first and second. Britain's Amy Tinkler took the bronze.
Biles becomes the first woman in history to win four gymnastics gold medals in a single games.
"I just gave it all I had left in me, because it was the last final, and it was my last floor routine, so I was super excited to close it out on a good note," Biles told KPRC Channel 2.
It was also a big night for Team USA men's gymnastics. Danell Leyva won silver medals on high bar and parallel bars. Teammate Sam Mikulak finished a respectable fourth place on high bar.
Americans Christian Taylor and Will Claye grabbed a one-two finish in triple jump in track events.
But, there was a stunner on Copacabana Beach as Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross lost in straight sets.
They will play for a bronze medal Wednesday.

NYC Loses Affordable SROs Due To Illegal Conversions
"As the city faces a serious shortage of low-cost housing for its own residents, building owners are turning existing units into hotel rooms, hostels and corporate housing for out-of-towners. The trend is most noticeable in Manhattan neighborhoods where the supply of low-cost units was already dwindling and the demand for tourist rooms has shot up."
In Chelsea and Clinton, Mr. Kalin of Housing Conservation Coordinators said his organization had found different types of illegal conversions: rent-regulated apartment buildings being run largely as hotels, rent-regulated apartments being used as short-term vacation rentals, residential apartments being chopped up into single rooms for European students, residential buildings being leased commercially for use as corporate housing.
He added: "It gets to the heart of a conversation we have all over the place when we try to defend affordable housing in our neighborhood. We think it's important to the identity of our neighborhood and the city to preserve diversity and preserve stability in some of the neighborhoods that make up New York, including those at the city's core. It may be a more efficient use of real estate to segregate people by income and segregate land by use, but I think it ignores the thread of community that people in our neighborhood and elsewhere find so valuable about living in New York."

Chapter 2 (3 of 5)
"That took longer than expected. Were you rude to Margaret?" she asked in her clear voice. My mother is gorgeous. And I look nothing like her. In comparison to her golden locks and blue eyes, I have pitch black hair and dull grey eyes. While her skin was slightly tan, mine was pale. People say I have her delicate facial features, but I just think their trying to be nice. If anything, I look like my father, but while he can pull off the hair and eyes has dark and mysterious, I just look like I live in caves or under rocks.
"No..." I hesitantly answer, "Me and Emilia were ambushed by the village and got stuck."
"Sure," she drew out the word, making it obvious that she didn't believe me. "Is Emilia the other girl that got chosen? What was she like?"
I purse my lips and answer, "Yea. She was pretty nice. A bit dramatic though."
Mom grinned, "You weren't bothered by the crowd at all, were you?"
"Of course not. Am I missing something? And can I have some pudding now?" , I asked, staring down the bowl closest to me like a hawk locked on prey.
"Nothing, dear. And have at it." she answered, sitting in one of the wooden chairs at the also wooden table and grabbing a bowl. I snatch up a bowl and plop into the chair across from her. There's silence for a while, as I shoveled spoon after spoon of the delicious pudding into my mouth. My mother, on the other hand, was showing manners, taking small servings and swallowing before taking another bite. That's another thing I didn't get from my mother. Manners. Or, to be more exact, a likeable personality. Once again, I'm like my father. He also scares off people with his eccentric attitude. Everyone but my Mom.
After a while, Mom dabs her mouth with a napkin and says, "There was something brought for you earlier. I'll go get it." and then she disappears out of the room. I continue to eat my pudding, now with my eyebrows scrunched in curiosity. When she finally comes back, she has some kind of white cloth draped across her arm.

"My wife and I didn't plan on giving blood today, we were just walking through the mall and saw the red cross here taking donations," Said blood donor Kyle Missbach. "So we stopped in to do our part. If you see the opportunity, take it, it only takes a few minutes and you could save somebody's life." "That's exactly what the red cross is looking for," Said Trudy Darling. "We're looking for first time donors, those who only donate once or twice a year. So we really appreciate those people coming out."Darling says that in january, every red cross blood donor gets a free bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee.To set up an appointment at the Bangor Blood Donor Center, or if you just want to ask the Red Cross a question, you can call them at 941-2900.

Clements on Harris, no-huddle, Rodgers' demeanor
Green Bay --- Offensive coordinator Tom Clements talks about the offense's hot start and cold finish, DuJuan Harris' instincts and Aaron Rodgers' demeanor:
--- Clements wasn't happy with Green Bay's 5 three-and-out drives in the second half. The Packers didn't manufacture any offense after building a 24-3 lead. The offensive coordinator wouldn't downplay the struggles.
"We didn't play well. They played well," he said. "They were playing with more intensity than we were in that point of time. That was not a good end to the game. ...We were fortunate that they weren't able to score more points. We're playing against opponents that are in the playoffs that are obviously very good teams. You can't let your foot off the gas. You have to keep playing the whole game."
--- The Packers like Harris' instincts. While DuJuan Harris managed only 2.8 yards per carry, he did have 100 total yards. Against the Vikings -- often on checkdowns -- he did a solid job of turning upfield in a hurry.
Clements said Harris getting more patient. Coaches don't want to mess with his game too much, though. His instinctive style is an asset.
"He's an instinctive runner," Clements said. "So more often than not, you just let him run. You point out what should be done but he has the right instincts and he usually makes something happen."
This game, Harris made a difference as a receiver. Clements said the Vikings' two deep safeties -- coupled with a middle linebacker vacating the middle of the field -- created opportunities for Harris' 53 yards on 5 receptions.
"He does a good job of catching the ball and getting north/south right away and getting as much yardage as he can," Clements said. "That combined with how deep the middle linebacker was playing, we were able to get some good gains."
--- Aaron Rodgers is more dialed in. That's what Clements noticed last week, anyways. With the postseason underway, Green Bay's quarterback took a more intense approach to practice.
On Saturday, Rodgers had 274 yards and a touchdown with a 104.9 passer rating.
"It's playoff time," Clements said. "I noticed a difference last week going into the playoffs, his demeanor throughout the week and ask me at the end of the week and I'll tell you if it was different than last week.
"He was just a little more intense in practice about wanting things to go properly in practice even though we had a lot of walk-through during the short week. Even with walk-through reps during practice, obviously you need to get something out of it and when things didn't work out the way he wanted them to be, he was upset about it."
--- Green Bay's no-huddle offense was effective again against Minnesota. Clements said it affected the defense. Green Bay created good match-ups and took advantage in the first half to put away the Vikings early.
The Packers moved the ball quickly. Two 11-play and one 12-play scoring drives all lasted less than 6 minutes apiece. Another 5-play, 62-yard drive at the end of the first half took only 1 minute and 10 seconds.
A fast pace got Green Bay's offense into a flow.
"When we were in the no huddle we were moving pretty good, especially when we were able to get some sustained drives," he said. "You could really tell it affected their defense. On those long drives, they got tired near the end and we were rolling pretty good. When we were in no-huddle our tempo was kind of where it needed to be."

Planted Saltwater 20g
I've had this tank for a few months as an upgrade to my 10g reef I had going on. When all the corals started to degrade and eventually die or be given away I decided to take this in a different direction.
This tank is now going to be for Red Mangroves. I was able to get 1 Mangrove at the Frag Swap we had a few weeks ago and so it begins!
-Strombus Maculatus colony
-Cerith Snails
-Bristle Worms (not fireworms)
-MamaMia Worms
-1 Brown Blotch Snail
-Pulsing Xenia
-Red Mangrove
The goal of this whole thing is to have no filtration on this tank and will go into further detail of what I plan on doing once this gets under way.
If anyone knows of any good tropical Macro Algae (ie. 78F)
All the tiny snails are the Strombus Maculatus.
very interesting, lookin forward to seeing where this one goes ;)
Just ordered 15 Mangroves off Ebay.
Can't wait!
Oooh - just discovered this journal. Great!
I think you're really going to enjoy have a thicket of mangroves. What variety did you pick up on eBay?
Thanks for motivating me to do something like this in one of my refugiums.
These are Red Mangroves and I'm debating if I should go for air roots for all of them or just the 1 I have now.
Builds of Mangrove tanks seem scarce, so hopefully I can shed some light on the subject as my build progresses.
NOTE: If you want Red Mangroves I highly suggest getting them from Bamboo_Dynasty got 15 for only $20. (and they have multiple leaves and healthy roots). PM me and I can give you a link.
Also I should say that, Nutrient Export wise, Mangroves are very in-effective unless they are in large numbers and/or are well aged (about 2-3yrs).
I would suggest 1/gallon of water. In freshwater they might be slightly more effective.
I like what your doing with the mangroves. Living in hawaii I've always had saltwater tanks but only recently have I tried a planted brackish water Opae ula tank! So far so good!
I am getting really into natural biotopes now instead of the usual SPS cluster Fest that people normally do.
I have decided to go with Aratus pisonii and Scylla serrata and maybe Uca pugnax for live stock. Not sure if I'm going to go with any fish as most natural fish are brackish and not pure saltwater.
Mangroves are here!
Just laid them in there for now until I can get some styrofoam to make an "air root maker".
Any updates? This is a really cool thread
Sorry for the lack of updates.
But it continues!
The Mangroves were starting to look in pretty bad shape so I asked for help on my local reefing forums and I must've missed how much light baby mangroves actually need. So I quickly went to menards on New Years day and got me a fixture. I also did a large trimming of cheato (it took up over half the tank).
Also I have created a little "Mangrove Rack" to use to keep them straight till they have fully matured. Many of them have lost some roots when pushing them through the holes in the styrofoam.
I have also been recently intrigued in EG filtration and plan on incorporating that into my tank at a later date.
I have also taken out the canister filter as I'm starting to transition it to a fully natural system.
are you going to put in a powerhead as a means of circulation and that's it? i don't think it would work without any flow at all...
looks like a good start.
I remember seeing nice builds with mangroves on nanoreef forums but can't seem to find the threads anymore :(
I'm watching now!

- "Floatstone beat Anansi and Coyote at poker, and won the right to leave the ground. But Floatstone forgot to ask for wings to fly, and so it just sort of hangs around feeling sorry for itself."
- The Uncle Nevercloned Stories
Floatstone, miasma and firaxite are not the only materials unique to this planet, only the best known and most useful. Colonial scientists and researchers have since planetfall devoted endless hours to the discovery of new "alien materials" and uses for them. These include some that were known on Old Earth but either extremely rare or only theorized, such as astatine-210 and the transuranic elements, both actinides and transactinides. Several of the transuranics, given their malleable quantum state, are now utilized extensively in robots, quantum computers and communications, and cybernetics. Colonial researchers are also exploring the creation of several of the 46 hypothetical "period 8 elements," utilizing conditions found on this planet – primarily its younger age and greater geological activity than Earth. Unfounded rumors abound that a colonial institute has been successful in creating unbibium, a hypothetical element with an atomic number of 122. Given that the energy levels of the outer orbitals in unbibium are so close, the electrons freely exchange places in relativistic modes and hence would produce large amounts of energy with minimal decay, offering power on an almost unimagined scale.

- " Quiet hostel, good facilities, good value for money. No complaints. "
- 22 Sep 2016 Anonymous Argentina
- " Everything about the hostel was fantastic, except the female host. Although she was helpful and informative, she was also quite nosy and racist. She made some VERY inappropriate comments about some Asian guests that I found very offensive. When given the opportunity to rectify or correct her comments, she made no attempt to. Only negative about an otherwise very positive experience. "

- " It is ok place for 1 night. The bathroomes a small, dirty and unclean same about the roome. The key to all lockers works to all lockers, that means your belonnings are not safe. It is okay for one night, but not a place I wille recomended. I will givet it 50% out of 100%. "

- " Apart from the fact that we were woken up in the middle of the night, we had a nice stay. The neighborhood is great ! "
- 21 Jul 2016 Malika Belgium
- " The Hostel has a perfect placement, because it is close to a metrostation and the S-bahn. It is only 2,5 km frome the central part of Berlin, and there is nice restaurants, bars in the area. It is a nice area with smiling and friendly people. The bad things with the hostle is, that the key to the locker, is the same to alle lockers, witch mean, that evryone with a key can open you locker, where you personal belonnings are placed. That is not good for security. The hostle is also dirty. "

Some 1.86 million people, 35.4 per cent, cast a ballot as the capital voted to keep the existing first-past-the-post system for electing MPs.
It came after the Standard led a campaign encouraging people to take part amid fears turnout could be as low as 15 per cent.
The analysis also showed that London's "chattering classes" backed AV but were drowned out at the ballot box. Only 10 areas in the country voted in favour of the alternative vote - and six were central London boroughs.
Hackney, Islington, Haringey, Lambeth, Southwark and Camden joined academic strongholds Oxford and Cambridge and university-dominated parts of Edinburgh and Glasgow in supporting a change.
But overall 60.47 per cent of Londoners voted to retain first-past-the-post system last Thursday, while 39.53 per cent wanted AV.
Local government expert Professor Tony Travers, director of LSE London, said the result was "striking" proof of a Left-leaning "bubble" at the heart of the capital.
"It is clearly evidence of a sort of chattering class vote being overwhelmed by everybody else," he told the Standard. "We often talk about a metropolitan bubble and here is evidence of it."
Professor Travers pointed out that support in central London was in stark contrast to results on the outskirts. While Hackney voted 60.7 per cent in favour of AV - the strongest backing in the country - and Islington 56.9 per cent, more than 70 per cent of voters in Hillingdon and Bexley opposed it.
Other areas voting No with more than 70 per cent backing were Barking and Dagenham, Bromley and Havering.
Nationally voters rejected AV by 67.9 per cent to 32.1 per cent as the Liberal Democrats saw their dream of voting reform crushed for a generation.
Professor Travers added: "It is a very striking piece of evidence of how different some parts of London and probably inner London as a whole are in this and other ways.
"There is clearly a certain kind of metropolitan, Left-leaning voter who strongly favoured electoral reform and the rest of the country is more small c conservative than them."
Professor Travers said the Standard's intervention had an impact on turnout and he praised the campaign. "The Standard, with its new wide reach, clearly would have been able to remind people to vote and it would be surprising if it did not add to the total," he said.Reuse content
