When people ask, I respond. It's just the nature John's Road to Volunteering is going down and with #JRTVChat now in full flow (9pm GMT on Twitter, if you're unaware), the opportunity at the end of the chat to suggest topics for the following week is allowing me to understand what the community want.
I'm responding to it!
One topic that is constantly mentioned in the chats and with anyone I speak to is engagement. How do I engage others? What ways can I attract people to the blog?
It's a complicated topic; engagement, as strategy and branding comes into play.
You might be wandering why strategy and branding are two key aspects to engagement, and here's why;
Do you know who your target audience are?
When we create content, we need to know who are audience are. Without the understanding, we can become puzzled when it seems our promotional activity has no result, but that's because we're not thinking about who are audience are.
Solution: Analyse your analytics. Whether you use Google Analytics or your blog's analytics (WordPress for example), you're able to identify the sources that are working for you and the location of your followers. Imagine if your followers were all UK based, what blogger chats and RT accounts are UK focused?
Where are your target audience?
This is one of the questions that I think we all forget to answer. We think that just because we're bloggers, everyone social media platform is where our audience are. Yes, that can be true, but if you have 2 people engaging in your Facebook posts, is it worth your time?
Solution: Put more time where your audience are. Once you've analysed the data, identify if there's any trends on each platform. Does the same content get the same engagement on each platform? Is a certain kind of content working better on Twitter compared to Facebook and Instagram?
How do you collect feedback and react?
Want to know why I use polls so often? It's simple and effective feedback. The quick responses allow us to instantly react to the results. Have you ever considered the times that people answer the question? Do 15 people instantly answer? Could that be a sign of when to promote your future content?
Solution: There isn't one. Just use polls. They really do help not only to engage with your community, but to build your rapport, as you are giving them a voice.
How do you engage your audience?
You might be wandering what I mean by this, but how do you think? Are you engaging by being yourself or thinking in a business mind-set?
How do I engage? I use my personality to draw people in.
Solution: UNDERSTAND! Understand what your community love about you. If it's your personality, use your personality to draw people in. If you're blunt and to the point, be blunt.
Also, think like a reader. What would you want to see in your content?
Length of posts
Yep. The length of posts comes into branding. Readers want to know what to expect and in terms of engagement, you need to know your style of writing. You need to know whether short or long posts match your wants from your blog and work with it.
Length of posts can change with the topics you write about, but think like a reader again. Consistency is key to engagement and is key to keeping to a brand.
The content
Video? Photography? Written content? You need to know the kind of content you want to focus on and this'll coincide with the length of that post.
Branding teaches us that in times new strategies will need to be used to grow your blog and in reality, everything we do in my eyes is a strategy.
Question is…Why?
This is the start of a string of blogger tips posts and if you have a question, a topic you'd love to be covered, either comment below or tweet me. These posts are here for you to learn and to gain an understanding into how I run John's Road to Volunteering.

When You Need Cars for Sale When you are in search for a new car, then you should know that there are so many places where you can actually find them. You can search for cars for sale through social media, the local dealerships and the newspaper. Regardless of where you are planning to shop, then you must know that you need to find quality buys and you must have a great experience as well. The first thing that you can do is to search for cars for sale online. If you are going to search for cars for sale online, you must ensure that you stick to those vehicles sold by your family or your friends or their acquaintances. With such, you will be able to know the people who you may be purchasing the new ride from. You shouldn't worry when nobody you know is selling any cars. Those that you know may actually know someone else who wants to part with their old automobile and your friend can hook you up with a great deal. If you are using social media, then you can also post an announcement that you are in search for a new ride and see what types of leads you can find. You may get surprised with the different positive responses that you are able to get. You can also search through the newspaper. So many dealerships are using the newspaper to list the specials and sales on the vehicles that they are trying to move fast and such can allow you to save a big sum of money on the quality automobile. When you want to find cars for sale through the local newspaper, then you may cut out and save ads that you can find so if you would go to the dealer then they may show you the vehicles or cars that you are interested to buy. Through bringing the ads with you, then you can lock in the price for a cheaper cost when the sticker price on the vehicle is actually higher than what is found in the advertisement on the newspaper.
What Has Changed Recently With Automobiles?
You need to understand that the best place where you will be able to find cars for sale is by the local dealership. You should know that the dealers provide a wide array of vehicles and such makes it finding cars for sale a lot easier than shopping online. You won't just be able to choose from the cars that you are interested to purchase but you can also test drive the model which you like. If you already have the money to pay for the car or you are seeking for financing, then you can definitely get a great car from the dealership.What I Can Teach You About Resources

Turkey accuses Germany of double standards over meeting cancellation
Turkey's president has furiously attacked Germany after at least three political rallies due to be held by Turkish ministers in Germany were cancelled by local authorities.Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokeswoman, Ulrike Demmer, said the federal government was not involved in canceling Bozdag's engagement in Gaggenau, or a separate rally in Cologne planned for Saturday with Turkey's economy minister. Tensions between the two countries further escalated last week after German media and politicians sharply criticized Turkey for the pre-trial detention of Die Welt's Istanbul correspondent Deniz Yücel on charges of terror propaganda." They don't want Turkish leaders to campaign because they are working for "no" votes", Cavusoglu said. Why meeting Hugh Jackman is 'sweeter the second time around'
Stewart told the Independent his experience realizing this would be the last time him and Jackman would portray X-Men on screen. X-23 is in this movie too and she's so awesome, Logan is ruthless and I love him but watching X-23 in action is something else. "It can not go on like that", Turkey's chief diplomat said.Turkey has summoned the German ambassador in Ankara to protest against the cancellation of a public speech by a Turkish minister in a German town. They first didn't hand him over, but later, somehow, they did. He said that Ankara was simply "pouring oil onto the fire" with the accusations. The rally was part of a campaign to get Turks in Germany to vote "yes" in an upcoming referendum on increasing the powers of the president in Turkey.Local authorities had to evacuate the Gaggenau city hall Friday morning after receiving a bomb threat, DW reported.Bozdag recalled that German authorities had previously not allowed Erdogan to address a meeting by video, but said leaders of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which is also outlawed by Germany, were frequently allowed to address supporters in the country by video. Fortalecimento do Mercosul será prioridade de Aloysio Nunes Ferreira
A posse de Aloysio e do novo Ministro da Justiça, Osmar Serraglio, está marcada para a próxima terça-feira (7/3), às 15h30. O parlamentar já ressaltou que antes de ser senador, deputado estadual e federal, é um Cidadão Votuporanguense. Amid a deepening dispute between Ankara and Berlin, a third German town has called off a rally by a Turkish government minister, police say. "They say "You can not hold a rally in a public space.' What do you mean we can not?"Critics say the new executive powers would give rise to an authoritarian rule and help Erdogan consolidate his power grab after last year's failed coup and following crackdown.Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu warned Germany of the consequences of halting the rally, which Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag was due to address.The decisions to cancel two rallies by Turkish ministers in Germany were "taken by municipalities, and as a matter of principle, we apply freedom of expression in Germany", she said.

Legislative Update: Multiple Bills Sitting on Capitol Hill
The House is not slowing down on the push for legalization of marijuana. There have been five bills introduced in the United States House of Representatives since the beginning of the 115th Congress (2017-2018). In addition, CO Representative, Jared Polis, has stated he will introduce his "Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act" again this year. Four of the five bills were introduced by Republicans and one by Democrats, showing marijuana legalization is a bipartisan issue. All five bills are aimed at loosening federal restrictions on marijuana.
HR – 1227, titled "Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act" was introduced on February 27, 2017 by Representative Thomas Garrett a Republican from Virginia. The text is the same as the Senate Bill introduced in 2015 (S. 2237) by Senator Bernie Sanders. The purpose is to remove "marihuana" and "tetrahydrocannabinols" from Schedule I of section 202(c) of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). In 2017, Rep. Garrett's bill is co-sponsored by six house members: Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI); Scott Taylor (R-VA); Jared Polis (D-CO); Earl Blumenauer (D-OR); Don Young (R-AK); Justin Amash (R-MI).
HR – 975, titled "Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017" was introduced on February 7, 2017 by Representative Dana Rohrabacher a Republican from California. Rep. Rohrabacher introduced a "Respect State Marijuana Laws Act" in the 2013-2014 and 2015-2016. The purpose is to amend the CSA for any provisions as related to marihuana. The provisions shall not apply to any person who produces, possesses, distributes, dispenses, administers, or delivers marijuana in compliance with state law. In 2017, Rep. Rohrabacher's bill is co-sponsored by 14 house members: Steve Cohen (D-TN); Don Young (R-AK); Mark Pocan (D-WI); Ted Yoho (R-FL); Earl Blumenauer (D-OR); Tom McClintock (R-CA); Dina Titus (D-NV); Duncan Hunter (R-CA); Jared Polis (D-CO); Justin Amash (R-MI); Barbara Lee (D-CA); Thomas Massie (R-KY); Mike Coffman (R-CO); Peter Welch (D-VT).

Trump Administration Calls Out Recreational Marijuana
Yesterday, Sean Spicer attempted to call out a difference between medical and recreational marijuana at the federal level. He clearly does not understand that ALL marijuana is federally illegal. Further, he made a poor and factually incorrect analogy by comparing the current opioid abuse crisis to marijuana use. Spicer ended his comments on recreational marijuana by stating that the DOJ will step up enforcement actions.
What does this mean?
As we all know, Trump is a wild card, and Spicer's comments do little to clarify the administration's position. Previous statements on the issue indicate some degree of support for the cannabis industry, or at a minimum, support for states to determine their own regulations. "In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state," Trump told The Washington Post. "… Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should happen — right? Don't we agree? I think so. And then I really believe we should leave it up to the states."
Further, the recent FY2016 omnibus appropriations bill contains the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment which prohibits the Department of Justice from interfering with state medical cannabis laws was also widely supported by a GOP controlled Congress (passed in the House by a vote of 242-186, and the Senate Appropriations Committee approved it 21-9). A recent Gallup Poll found nationwide support for legalization at 60%, the highest it likely has ever been. Florida also passed its medical-cannabis initiative with 71% approval – Florida also voted for President Trump. It is clear from Trump's statements and Spicer's comments that medical marijuana should remain a non-enforcement priority.
So based on Spicer's comments regarding recreational marijuana – does Attorney General Sessions unwind years of hands-off federal policy towards state-legal recreational marijuana? We'll just have to wait and see. I am hopeful that Spicer's comments are just that, off-the-cuff comments with little substance or thought. However, the recreational marijuana industry is now on notice. I think we are in for a bumpy 2017.
Marijuana Legalization – The Bipartisan Congressional Cannabis Caucus
On February 17, 2017 four Congressmen announced a bipartisan "Congressional Cannabis Caucus". Republican representatives Don Young (AK) and Dana Rohrbacher (CA) joined democrats Earl Blumeanauer (OR) and Jared Polis (CO) as co-chairs of the new caucus. In a press conference, they each outlined the importance of the caucus to their individual states and to the country. Representative Rohrbacher started by outlining the changes to the country's outlook on marijuana, as 44 states now have laws permitting marijuana at varying levels. He noted the economic benefits and the importance of continuing to make progress on this issue. Representative Blumeanauer outlined four critical areas that need to be addressed 1. Not allowing the Federal government to prevent marijuana research; 2. Gaining access to marijuana for veterans, (VA hospitals are not allowed to prescribe medical marijuana); 3. Removing IRS code 280E which prohibits marijuana businesses from deducting business expenses on their federal tax returns; and 4. Ending the banking prohibition.
Representative Don Young of Alaska further explained the impact of the banking prohibition. (Marijuana businesses have difficulty getting bank accounts, potentially making it an all cash business.) When there is a great amount of surplus cash, Rep. Young has seen it "cause lots of sideline problems". He wants to ensure these businesses are able to be run as businesses. Marijuana businesses should be able to utilize banks for loans and depositing cash. However, Representative Young's primary interest in this caucus comes from his belief in state's rights. During Q&A Mr. Young pointed out the hypocrisy of a conservative stance against legalization, "you can't be a conservative and say we can pick and choose, you have to be for state's rights or against state's rights…" Alaska voters "voted to legalize it…pretty large margin" and Mr. Young is a representative of those people.

10th Circuit Took Oral Arguments on Recreational Cannabis Violating RICO
Federal appeals court judges on Tuesday reviewed the reach of racketeering laws in a case that potentially could have catastrophic effect on the cannabis industry. At issue is whether the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals will allow private parties to sue state-licensed cultivations and dispensaries under RICO for what are, essentially, nuisance issues. Safe Streets, a Washington, D.C.-based anti-drug and anti-crime organization, filed the lawsuit and claimed that Colorado horse ranch farmers are entitled to property damage under the rarely used private right of action for individuals to sue "racketeers" because of the marijuana smell that allegedly permeates their property.
While it has been widely assumed by the cannabis industry that these were difficult arguments to win, the general scene of the oral arguments, as reported by the Cannabist, was that the judges appeared to be favoring Safe Streets' arguments.
What does this mean?
The three-judge panel for the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals will not issue an opinion for several months. Until then, it is a wait and see. If the 10th Circuit shoots down the appeal, it will be a resounding win for the cannabis industry and the US Supreme Court is unlikely to hear an appeal. If the plaintiff wins, the floodgate to additional lawsuits against the industry might be status quo.
No Federal Trademark Protection for the Growing Marijuana Industry
The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") is at odds with the ever-growing marijuana industry. While marijuana legalization was a big winner in November's elections, with seven states legalizing either medical or adult recreational use of the drug, the burgeoning industry may run into some problems obtaining trademarks for marijuana products and related devices. The lack of trademark protection could slow down or inhibit the growth of the industry as the lack of trademark protection limits entrepreneurs' ability to stop infringement and protect their rights.

The Rhyme & Reason
It's so funny how things can change so much over just a small period of time. If you've been on this site before, you may have read that the idea for Tails came from a silly story about Dduger, the journal keeping dog! Although I love Ddugs very much and I absolutely adore his stories, this blog has morphed into something much more over the last six months.
After adopting Daddy and Gustav, my life path has not only taken a turn, I experienced an "AhHa" moment and a light bulb lit up at the end of a dark tunnel. Soon after bringing the boys home, the impact of what they brought with them began to affect my life, my choices and my future. It became clear that adopting them just wasn't enough. I wanted to do more, and working with dogs, particularly rescue dogs, felt right.
My particular interest falls within the walls of the shelter, especially after spending time there. Helping the ones that need it the most. I have first-hand knowledge of the life adjustments that you and your new friend have to make, and the patience in the training of a dog that has been scarred by past neglect, abuse or abandonment. Incidentally, my rhyme and reason has drastically changed from my original idea.
After years of not knowing what to do with my life and always feeling unfulfilled in my work, I've finally found what I'm suppose to do. I want to be a voice for the ones who can't speak. I want to encourage, give hope to and make changes for the better for our four-legged friends. At the same time, help the wonderful people who adopt smoothly transition into their new addition, as well as be a future go-to for any problems that may arise.
I don't quite qualify for everything I want to do just yet, but have recently taken steps to correct that minuet fact. I am officially a student again, and I'm loving this time around. If all goes well, in less than a year, I will have the knowledge and the know-how to move forward because THEY are now my Rhyme and my Reason!
I hope you stop by often and check out the Newly Adoptable, Ideas, Stories, Tips and all around Dog Stuff!!

Atomic vapour Spectroscopy in the vicinity of an opics of interestAtomic vapour Spectroscopy in the vicinity of an interface:
Theoretical study of the interaction between an atom and an optical field with a complex spatial structure at a wavelength scale (Laguerre-Gauss beams, and nano-optics), notably the coupling with nearly forbidden atomic transitions (beyond the electric dipole approximation, and chiral properties).
The group "Atomic Spectroscopy at an Interface" mostly uses sub-Doppler laser spectroscopy techniques to study the effects of confinement of atomic vapour close to a wall.
In the Cavity QED frame the atomic properties are modified due to its coupling with the fluctuating vacuum field. The presence of a reflective boundary modifies the vacuum fluctuations which gives rise to the well-known Casimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a surface. Our group uses selective reflection spectroscopy to study this fundamental phenomenon. This technique is well suited for probing atomic vapour up to a depth of l/2p, i.e. roughly 100 nm for our experiments. This distance range corresponds to an electrostatic limit (van der Waals regime) of the Casimir-Polder interaction where the atom-surface potential evolves like C3 z-3, where z is the atom-surface distance and C3 a coefficient depending on the considered atomic level |i> and the dielectric properties of the surface. Our spectroscopic approach allows the study of excited atoms for which the interaction is usually larger and, more importantly, sensitive to the presence of surface modes (surface polaritons). These modes, whose energy lies in the mid or deep infrared, can resonantly couple to the virtual transitions relevant for the considered excited state. This effect radically influences the van der Waals interaction turning it from a giant attraction to repulsion, depending on the specific atom-surface system [1].
Very recently, we have succeeded in showing a notable variation (50 %) of this interaction with the vacuum temperature [2], for a Cs(7D3/2)/sapphire system (figure 1). The thermal excitation of surface modes is the key to the observed effect [3-5], and the atom is a kind of quantum probe of the near-field emission of the heated material, which in the far-field would be nearly a realization of a blackbody emitter.
Our group has also developed spectroscopic methods to study the properties of atomic vapour confined in cells of nanometric thickness (one dimensional confinement). These nanocells, fabricated in the group of D. Sarkysian in Amenia, enabled us to measure the distance dependence of the atom-surface interaction [6] and demonstrate a Dicke type narrowing in optical frequencies [7]. We are currently exploring the spectroscopy of three-dimensionally confined vapour in the interstitial regions of an opal of nanospheres. Despite numerous defects, typical for self-organised system, the opal remains an organised structure much like a photonic crystal. The opals we use are fabricated by the Langmuir-Blodgett method in the group of S. Ravaine at CRPP-Bordeaux. We have succeeded in operating a cell of alkali-metal vapour infiltrated in an opal made of a few layers of nanospheres despite the tendency of the confined atomic vapour to generate clusters. Probing the opal with reflection spectroscopy, we observe a spectroscopic signal exhibiting a sub-Doppler component for various oblique incidences (figure 2) [8]. This narrow contribution, obtained in the linear regime of interaction, evokes a Dicke narrowing, analogous to the one currently obtained in the microwave domain (with a sub-wavelength confinement by a buffer gas), but found here in the optical domain. We are presently working to improve our understanding of both the sub-Doppler atomic signal, and the peculiar optics of the opals, deposited on a substrate (window). For this purpose, we have recently developed a one-dimensional thin layer modelling (ArXiv 1407.5777).. Moreover, in collaboration with Uruguayan partners we study atomic vapour confinement in random porous media by means of scattered light spectroscopy [9, 10].
In other works that have remained theoretical until now, we have predicted that for a non-electric dipole transition, an atom-field interaction can be detected where the electric field is locally null, as exemplified by the case of a focused Laguerre-Gauss beams, [11]. Also, we address the problems of atoms interacting with nano-objects, possibly chiral ones [12].

6 comments on A trusted car repair service, at last..
TJV: We had a difficult time looking for a repairman to fix our van (Starex) right after the time of Ondoy. We almost lost hope in trying to fix that up. The Hyundai service center was packed with all the cars. Our car alarm had given up, the water drenched the entire seats and radio/component became useless. Had I known about RepairPal before, things would have been different for us. Anyway, it was a good thing, our van can still be used up to now except that it no longer has an alarm and radio. 🙁
Wow, that is a great service! May ganyan ba rito sa Pilipinas?
it's really very important to look for a trusted car repair company for our vehicles. budget alloted for car repairs is no joke, nakakabutas talaga ng bulsa.
Very important to have a car repair service you trust kasi you;re going to leave them your car which is hindi naman biro ang halaga. Plus baka palitan nila yung ibang parts na working naman.
if it cost anything for the site its not worth it… you can just as easily go to a couple of shops and get quotes and use the lesser of them. But also see what is being done per quote one may be better in that way even tho it may not be cheaper.
When repairing a car, sound system repairing is important, particularly if you own a BMW. I tell everyone to get a BM54 repair kit, whoever has a BMW.

The Capital Equipment Fee fuels the ongoing need for new equipment as our program grows. As our program gets bigger each year, the need is there to update and build up our oars, shells, ergs and other equipment that is used on a daily basis. This is a common structure for crew programs in that the base fee goes to support day to day operating costs of our program.
Your capital equipment fee check must be made payable to "WFOR" (Westford Friends of Recreation). WFOR Crew is a non-profit organization responsible for prioritizing the expenditures from the capital equipment funds, and is managed independently from the Westford Recreation Department. As a result, this part of your payment is tax deductible as well. If you choose to add greater than 10% of the cost of the program that you are participating in we wish to thank you in advance for your generosity.

"We all can feel stuck from time to time. Whether it's a relationship issue, a career issue, challenges with depression, anxiety, or substance use, we can find ourselves repeating the same patterns. I work with individuals, couples, and groups and help people understand the patterns of their lives and how to move beyond challenges and towards fulfillment."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"Therapy can be surprising. Worry or anger or despair can open up hope and meaning. Rather than seeing yourself as flawed-and your distress as a problem to be eliminated-you can learn to feel compassion for yourself and recognize your challenges are pointing to new directions. Usually, my clients find increased vitality and satisfaction in their lives. Connection to self, others, and spirit can strengthen. Your pain can ease."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"My goal is to work in collaboration with you in therapy so that you can achieve your goals and work through any challenge that you may be facing. I strive to provide a safe and empathic environment where you can receive support, reflection, feedback, and empowerment, as well as be challenged with regard to both current and long-standing behavior patterns and difficulties. While this process can often be daunting, it can also be extremely vitalizing. My hope is that therapy will help you feel more self-confident, hopeful, and self-aware."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"I believe there is no ideal patient (client) any more than there is an ideal therapist or psychiatrist.I work with individual adults and couples who seek help with a wide variety of emotional and relational problems who might benefit from psychotherapy with or without medication."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"Human life inevitably includes pain, anxiety, anger, and difficulty with change. Yet many of us feel uncomfortably alone when facing these challenges. In my psychotherapy practice, I offer an empathic yet separate perspective to support your process of coming to terms with life's challenges, and griefs, and even traumas. I also aim to provide the mental space to examine your feelings in a manner that creates space for new solutions to emotional conflicts."

"Envision Counseling offers therapeutic and executive coaching services unmatched anywhere in the Northwest. Our counselors and therapists utilize strength-based therapies tailored to each individual's needs, considering the sociocultural context of the client's life. The desire to enhance our lives, and lives of those we love, is inherent in all of us. We are drawn to the possibilities that our hopes, aspirations and motivations present. As you pursue positive changes in your lives, Envision Counseling will assist you in making these possibilities a reality."

"Spiritual Counseling is my integrative approach to holistic, wellness-based counseling. I help my counseling clients find freedom and balance of mind-body-spirit by addressing their depression, anxiety, PTS and/or PTSD through the bio-psychological, spiritual, and cultural dimensions of healing. Rooted in the Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Psychology, my style addressees the physical, psychological, and social sides of being human, while recognizing these parts are interdependent. From there, I branch out into the Multicultural world of Spirituality and help my clients connect deeper to their own individual spiritualities-empowering them as self-healers."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"Sometimes, due to painful life experiences, a person is knocked off track in his or her development. Unconscious factors create patterns of behavior that limit one's ability to experience happiness and freedom in areas of relationships, work, and leisure. Our work together will produce breakthroughs in the limits you knowingly or unknowingly impose on yourself based on past experiences. I am profoundly moved and humbled when I am a part of this process."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"I am a licensed psychologist who is skilled in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I also integrate client-centered, existential, and gestalt approaches, and tailor them to client's unique needs and goals. My specialties include relationship difficulties, depression, career concerns, work stress, anxiety/panic attacks, identity issues (sexual, developmental, racial), and cross-cultural relationship."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"I enjoy working with children, individuals, couples and families using a combination of solution focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe it is important to tailor therapy for each individual or family to reach their goals and experience increased satisfaction in their lives. I work collaboratively in therapy to address recurring themes and help individuals and families to build on the strengths they naturally have."
BlueCross and BlueShield
"Therapy can provide us with a wonderful opportunity to think deeply about ourselves and our relationships. Therapy can also be a place, where the client and therapist work together to find and create meaning in their lives. I work from a humanistic and relational framework, emphasizing the importance of building trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients. I am also a transpersonal therapist, and I offer a unique specialty in spiritual development and integration. I enjoy helping modern individuals find and cultivate their spiritual practices as well as support those who have had extraordinary spiritual experiences."

A total of 107 papers from two conferences, one Australasian and the other American were analysed, using a framework which posed the following four questions. What questions are being asked? What theoretical positions are being taken? What counts as evidence in answering those questions? What is the educational significance of what has been found? There was clear evidence of varied approaches to undertaking e-learning research. The nature of the research questions reported support the view that there is a degree of repetition in current research projects, and a reluctance to tackle the big issues. The authors recommend that researchers move away from narrowly focused questions to an approach focused on the systems nature of student learning.

Higher education institutions undertake a range of approaches to evaluating and making judgments about the quality of their e-learning provision. This paper begins by exploring benchmarking as one current strategy in common use in universities to identify and implement quality practices: from the use of checklists (for example, of best practices and standards) to a more contemporary dynamic systems approach involving continuous cycles of feedback and improvement centred around the learners' experiences of elearning. These practices are influenced by the teachers' design of e-learning and emerging technologies as well as by the institutional and societal contexts in which both learners and teachers operate. We give an account of two major evaluation studies at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), utilising a systems approach to investigate the consequences of e-learning, and we inquire into the value of this particular institutional approach for deriving e-learning quality. We use selections from the large dataset to describe and analyse students' and teaching staff's experiences of an e-learning system (LMS) over a two-year period. Our findings reveal that learners' experiences warrant consideration in shaping future e-learning developments at UTS, and that students value e-learning in facilitating their access to education for making choices about their learning and for enabling engagement in collaborative and interactive learning activities, while they also recognise the current constraints on e-learning imposed by the developers of LMS technologies.
