The South is in my blood. My daddy was the son of Georgia dirt farmers. Rumour has it a distant cousin was in the Bonnie & Clyde gang. My mama is the daughter of a machinist who played fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin with his brothers in a juke-joint band in the back woods of Alabama. He taught me to play guitar when I was about 12 years old and he played his Hank Williams records all the time. His daddy was a sheriff in Alabama who was shot dead by a moonshiner.
My music is usually described as rootsy and melodic, but it's influenced by artists from Cole Porter to The Ramones.
I was raised in Northeast Florida on Cash, The Stones, The Monkees, and a capella shape-note congregational singing. I studied classical piano for ten years, starting at age eight. At thirteen, I saw Coal Miner's Daughter, got the soundtrack, and learned to sing and pick every song on it by heart. Later in my teens, I discovered The Police and The Replacements. Then punk got a hold of me and it hasn't let go since.
I started writing my own songs and performing at pubs around Atlanta right around the time I graduated college there.
Since then, I've put out three albums of original material, plus a Best Of compilation. In the meantime, I've moved around from Atlanta to Tallahassee to LA. In 2015, I moved back to Northeast Florida.
A couple of years ago, a guy in a Starbucks came up to me and showed me his copy of my very first album, Boy Meets Girl, which was released on cassette in the '90s. That was, uh, discomfiting.

- About Saffron de Menezes Coaching
Have you ever had the thought 'I'm not good enough'? So many of our problems, be they around health, work, finance, relationships or anything else, come back to this or a small number of other limiting core beliefs. Often events in our early childhood lead us to develop these beliefs and we then go through life collecting evidence to support them. The belief becomes a filter through which we see the world and we then reject or ignore any information that doesn't fit in with that belief.
On a practical level this can show up in an infinite number of ways from an inability to quit smoking because we believe we don't deserve that health and freedom, to physical pain or illness. It can lead us to subconsciously sabotage our work or relationships and it can stop us from aiming for our biggest goals. We generally won't experience all of these at once but whatever our 'symptoms' or challenges they provide us with a clue and a starting point for exploring the underlying issues.
EFT can support us in identifying our own specific limiting beliefs and the events that lead to their development. This powerful technique can also help us to clear those beliefs and replace them with new ones that work for us rather than against us.
I am an AAMET accredited EFT practitioner working with a wide variety of clients and issues to promote wellbeing in a holistic way. Through digging deep to the roots of a problem I have seen profound change in clients, both in the challenges they bring to me and in other unexpected areas. EFT can only ever work for our highest good and if we bring the courage to shine a light into the dark places it can empower us to create the life of our dreams

Heat 96, Wolves 84: The Trial Phase
Coming into this season, expectations weren't high for the Wolves in terms of wins. Even after a pair of wins on the road to open the season, few expected anything more than a win total somewhere in the 20s this season. And as the Wolves start coming down to earth, the fall is going to be rocky here and there.
Tonight's game against Miami was the first example this season.
It was an ugly game for Minnesota by just about every measure. Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, who got plenty of looks, did not play well tonight, shooting a combined 8-31 from the floor, Wiggins only getting to the line once (and Towns not at all). Wiggins, while more aggressive tonight, is still missing shots, and would probably benefit from taking more shots near the rim. Towns looked overmatched against a rising interior protector in Hasaan Whiteside.
But as usual – especially tonight, the loss was very much a collective effort.
Zach LaVine, while never letting the game slip away from the Wolves (he had a team-best -4 on the night for players who got over 20 minutes), continued to show his ineffectiveness running the point. Nemanja Bjelica had his second straight rough night, eventually getting pulled for Adreian Payne. The list goes on.
On the other end, Dwyane Wade had spurts of greatness, and is looking much stronger and healthier than he did a year ago. Chris Bosh had a double double, and Hassan Whiteside did a great job making the paint unscorable for the Wolves. Also, Goran Dragic reminded me why he's one of my favorite players.
While most acknowledge individual (lack of) performance as the main issue, complaints of certain minute allocations from coach Sam Mitchell have become a strong topic of conversation as of late. Ricky Rubio only played 22 minutes tonight (for this one, Mitchell simply said "I'm not gonna leave my starting point guard out there when we're down 19 points"). Same number for Towns. And same for Shabazz Muhammad, who was Minnesota's most efficient scorer on the night. Andre Miller, while finally seeing the floor in garbage time, continues to sit in key minutes.
Of course, it's fair to examine and question what Mitchell is doing. Questioning moves, subs and rotations should and will be examined. As well as Muhammad did tonight, he rarely scored points on passes in a halfcourt set. A big part of that has to do with those rotations, mainly being partnered in the backcourt with scorers LaVine and Martin. One might think that having a guy like Andre Miller in the backcourt could help things. Or maybe it wouldn't. That's what trial and error is about.
But take a deep breath. We're 4 games in, and this is still the trial phase.
Sure, maybe the "Zach LaVine: point guard" experiment is past the trial phase, especially after messing with it (out of necessity) last year. And seeing a facilitator like Miller out there to give Shabazz more looks, and get Martin and LaVine good shots is appealing. Very appealing. But if you want Andre Miller in the game, whose minutes do you cut? Keep in mind all the guys that played fewer minutes than preferred, even with the rotations as they are.
Do you take Tayshaun Prince from the rotation, even though the Wolves' starting 5 has been, by far, the best unit on the floor early this season? Do you cut minutes from Kevin Martin, the team's one consistent three-point threat? Do you cut LaVine's minutes, despite the "development over win-now" mentality?
As many questions as many of us have for what Sam Mitchell is doing, it's all too likely that these rotations will mold into something more concrete as the season goes on. Odds are it'll lend itself to what the fans are thinking. But this early in the season, with this young a roster, some experimentation with different groups isn't entirely a bad thing. Are some of the lineups going to look awful? Of course. But odds are few would have guessed, before the season started, that a lineup involving Tayshaun Prince was going to be the team's steadiest right away.
There's no easy answer or quick fix to this, and no matter what adjustments Mitchell makes, the end result isn't guaranteed to bring great results. For now, the mixing and matching is going to be frustrating, and maybe could use some altering, but it also isn't terribly surprising.
And what happened tonight wasn't all that surprising either. The Wolves played poorly, and lost to a good team that played well. Go-to guys like Towns and Wiggins need to play better in the minutes they're given to set the tone for those bench guys, who have also struggled to find an identity. The hope is unquestionably strong in Minnesota, and while the short-term struggles are going to be hard to swallow, especially when coaching decisions aren't always unanimously approved by the fanbase. But the talent pool is there. This is where they learn.
7 Responsesso far.
I'm not too worried about some of the things that looked bad tonight–yet. Bjelica will figure it out and find a way to get some confidence. We saw all the great stuff Wiggins can do last year. He seems to be struggling with confidence started by having to play with a back issue. I really think it is all about getting a few breaks and getting confidence back. He will need to keep working on his shooting, particularly because we use him at the 2 so much. I actually thought Towns played OK against a hot rising talent in Whiteside. I mean, his shots just didn't go it, but most of those normally do. He had a smart plan in that he tried to take Whiteside out of his comfort zone by shooting from different areas. Eventually, Towns will be able to go toe to toe with Whiteside near the basket (just look at his blocks on him tonight) but perhaps the way Towns approached it tonight was perfect for the situation. Towns just missed shots that usually go in, and frankly so did many of our guys. An alarming potential cause of this is stagnant offense even when Rubio was on the floor. Better action needs to be run. We looked like our feet were in concrete tonight, and that's not acceptable for such a young team. These things will get better–we're still on track to surprise, potentially.
On the other hand, I'm getting a little worried about Sam's decision making. Maybe it's just fatigue from years of these 'Wolvesy' kind of problems. With the talent we now have, and history we've had to deal with I'm out of patience for slow adjustments and black hole 'development' minutes. Sam has a healthy Rubio and a better out of the gate than expected Towns, but I have to give him credit for improved defense and grit so far. On the other hand, the LaVine at point thing is getting really tiresome for the fans, and one senses, the players. Who to take minutes from? Start with LaVine himself. Imagine if we gave just some of his more key point minutes to Miller… Another option is greatly reducing Prince's minutes. In today's NBA, you just can't start (even if it is for limited minutes) two guys scoring like 2 points a game each. Prince has been good at D, but so horrid at offense—several times his inability to finish or hit a shot has killed momentum for the team. I think between the two, we should keep Garnett in as 'old man starter who helps on D a lot but can't score'. He's the hometown hero and helps teach D communication so well. But Prince needs to come out of the starting lineup and have his minutes cut. This season we'll see a reduced point guard role for LaVine and Prince removed as a starter. Why not start early and keep confidence up?
One last observation–we don't look as athletic as we are and we have a person at every position who can get out and run. We should be doing well in transition and getting more dunks alley-oops and easy points. We have to work so hard for our points. I'm not sure why we can't get this 'youth' aspect of our game going, what the factors are, but we need to get out and run. It is a way to keep pressure on the other team and run up momentum for the young guys as well as excite the crowd. We can be a competitive fun to watch team all season if we put our minds to it.
They're 11th in the league in fast break points (Warriors/Wiz/Cavs far ahead of the rest), give up the 9th-highest % of offensive rebounds, and force the 17th-most turnovers. So it's not that bad, but they're held back by not securing more misses. Forcing turnovers isn't as big a deal to me because they've been much better near the rim and contesting 3s.
Tough to get worked up about that one unless you have unrealistic expectations for this team. Most teams aren't going to win on their home court shooting under 30% for most of the game against a likely playoff team unless they're a 45-plus win team.
I mostly just feel bad for the bench guys. It's obvious Dieng needs more help inside than Bjelica, but that's who he always plays with. It's obvious Muhammad would benefit from having Rubio on the court to help generate turnovers and feed him in transition, but that's not happening. It's obvious Martin would benefit from not being the primary offensive option so he could get more spot-up 3s, but that's happening in limited spurts.
They hockey substitutions are annoying, but we should just consider Martin and Bjelica starters. This isn't like 2 seasons ago when they trotted out JJ-Bud-Luc-Cunningham-Turiaf second units. Martin is within 7 minutes of being the leader in minutes played, and Bjelica has 22 more minutes than the 6th-highest guy in minutes played (Dieng). KG is playing the fewest minutes of anyone who has played all 4 games, and Prince is 7/10 on that list. In that frame of reference, 2 of their best 5 players are always on the court.
The bigger question is whether Bjelica should be getting that many minutes or if they should be sprinkling Dieng in more with Towns. Bjelica needs to be more aggressive when the ball comes to him and not just move it along; he's their only playmaker when Rubio and Towns are out. It's also arguable that Muhammad should get more of Martin's minutes, but I get why they'd want to play the guy who leads them in scoring per 36 minutes.
Good thoughts. It does matter who starts even if they play few minutes, like Prince and Garnett. I think if you started Muhammad, then he could play with Rubio a lot. As it is, Martin is the overlap guy off the bench with Muhammad only playing with LaVine at point, and I too feel bad about that. Prince burns minutes with the first team that someone else could benefit from and he might actually look a bit better against teams' second units. A lot of these problems would look better, too, if LaVine didn't play all the back up point minutes. A lot of those second unit guys have to feel frustrated about that at times. I do think Bjelica will figure it out and has the tools the justify his minutes–just a matter of time thing. Dieng has expanded his shooting range, but he's too clunky to really be a PF, so I think you see the minutes the way they are because Deing is backup center, and really only fits that role at the moment. But as you mention, Deing could see some minutes with Towns, because Towns can play C or PF and between the two of them they'd have the floor covered on both ends. Not sure how that would work with rotations, though.
Yeah, it gets tricky with Martin because it's seemingly a pecking-order issue of "If you're not gonna start me, I at least need to be the first wing off the bench." The team is being too rigid with the Prince and Miller situation. If they really are playing LaVine at PG to save he and Wiggins from being undersized, that doesn't really apply to every situation. Every team they've played so far has employed at least 1 SG who is 6'4 or shorter (though Miami's is Wade, which is notable because of his strength); also, teams aren't going to be afraid to stick the taller player on Wiggins and have their worst perimeter defender guard Prince. Why not just play either Miller or Prince depending on the opponent's size on the wing and then start Martin when Miller plays? As for Dieng, he looks awkward everywhere on the court. He's much more comfortable guarding a perimeter-oriented big than a post-oriented one and has one of the highest steal percentages for a center in the league. They got good minutes out of him last season when he played next to Pek, and he showed he could feed the post from the free-throw line and make jumpers. His defensive flaws mostly stand out when he's asked to play the center role because he gets pushed around easily and doesn't protect the rim well.
pyrrol pretty much encapsulated all my thoughts from tonight. It doesn't bother me that we lost to a good team like the Heat or that some of our young guys struggled to hit their shots, but there are plenty of glaring philosophical errors of lineups, rotations, and development that did bother me.
I'm pretty done with the "Zach LaVine: Point Guard" experiment, too. He has the tools to make it work, but this is the NBA: the pros. No organization (except maybe the 76ers) has the patience to put up with years of poor decision-making for the outside chance this guy figures it out. Heck, even the 76ers cut bait on MCW when they felt that they understood his ceiling. Better to try an let Zach thrive in a more limited role as an off-guard.
Prince in the starting lineup still flummoxes me. He's smart and experienced, but he doesn't have the physical tools to be a lockdown defender nor has he demonstrated the ability to space the floor on offense (he's taken only 9 shots and only made 2 of them over the course of four games). It also betrays Flip's GM philosophy of trying to A) develop young guys and 2) surround Rubio with guys that can get out and run and finish at the rim.
I think its time to stop being cute and insert KMart or Shabazz into the starting lineup with Andre or Tyus running the 2nd unit.
Last thing is ball-movement. The Wolves had the highest Asst% in the league after their first two games so it surprised me that tonight they went away from everything that was going well on O. The ball seemed to stall a lot on offense and I didn't see a lot of effort to push the ball in transition. Hopefully they can go out and improve on that after watching the tape today.
"Do you cut LaVine's minutes, despite the "development over win-now" mentality?"
Actually, I would. Zach shouldn't be on a court right now to be honest. At this moment he's just horrible at all things. He can't run the offense, he's weak defender, he's afraid of contact when attacks the rim, and he doesn't score. So what's the point of keeping him on the court, especially with this amount of minutes? He should watch from the bench ale learn from there more, because when he's on court with K-Mart, Bazz and Dieng NO ONE is learning and they're doing wrong things instead of developing.

Shri Goverdhan Nath ji Temple is situated in Chaura Rasta -walking distance from the Tripoliya Gate. The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna. Like other temples situated in the bazaars of Jaipur, premises of this temple is actually much bigger than the outward impression one gathers from the entrance.
The staircase leading to the temple is projected out to the road level – covering the footpath, which gives it a distinguished approach via-a-vis the shops in the vicinity. It is in contrast to the staircase of the surrounding residential buildings located on first floor, where the staircase is aligned with the shop line. This is a distinguished feature among the all the heritage temples built during same time frame in this bazaar.
The temple is devoid of shikhar and is built in Haveli style- having an open courtyard. There are many other Haveli style of temple built during similar period like Gangaji temple ,Roop Chaturbhuj temple, chaturbhuj temple, Goverdhan Nathji temple (located near Hawa Mahal) etc. This temple like the other Goverdhan Nathji temple was built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singhji. The temple has been built in Rajput-Mughal style. The temple has a beautiful paintings on the walls, which shows strong Mughal influence.
The most unique aspect of this temple is that Lord Krishna is worshiped in child form. Also, unlike other heritage temples dedicated to Lord Krishna in Jaipur, Radha is not present along with the idol of young Lord Krishna. As soon as one enters the temple from the main road, it opens into a small chowk whick leads to another gate. While there is nothing much to write about the gate, however the wall on both side of the gate has beautiful paintings and images of Nahar or lion. This is very similar to the Goverdhan Nathji temple (located near Hawa Mahal) where the lions placed along both side of gate are made of marble. However in this temple, they are projected outwards on the wall as a mural work. Apart from the lions, peacock painted above the door adorn the wall. Here is a closer look.
Here are some more picture from the temple.
Looking at the layout and frescoes, its evident that this temple has seen better days! Currently, the Devesthan department under Govt. of Rajasthan maintains the temple.
Do visit this place: if you live in Jaipur, you must explore this great heritage. Best of all,unlike other popular temples of Jaipur which are teeming with devotees,full of chaos and unfriendly attitude of the temple management, its a welcome change! Lots of peace and time to yourselves is what you can be assured of. if you are visiting Jaipur, its part of Jaipur heritage and best kept secret! It is easily accessible and located very close to city palace. It was built by same ruler who built world famous Hawa Mahal and Jal Mahal – Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh ji

The first useful resource to mix 20 years of expertise implementing social wants programs with a affected person-centered approach and effectively-researched, clinically-validated pointers from sector authorities — multi functional place. By working closely with both public well being professionals and legislation enforcement, we've got been able to deal with this epidemic in multiple ways to make sure people escape addiction and get the remedy they need. Extra lately, HHS has centered on improving the quality of care at IHS hospitals, together with a High quality Innovation Community Quality Improvement Group grant from CMS to support greatest health care practices at IHS hospitals participating in the Medicare program. This means improving and working intently by means of present entities like the World Well being Organization and the United Nations. The Training department purchased this for me,this stops the pains on the highest of my head and has diminished the quantity of migraines I get.
The brightly colored single-use packs only go for $1.99 and you'll find them at Ulta, Walmart, Bed Tub & Past, Harmon Discount, and Kmart. In 2013, Tawanna was named the Anne Arundel Well being Department's Particular person of the Year for her involvement locally.

Health effects: Produces malignant tumors on the web site of injection and by ingestion in rats. From the obscure to the everyday, the ancient to the leading edge, these objects tell the story of public health.
In time period of ethical hazard, there's little evidence to conclude that ethical hazard has a big impact on rising price of well being care. However you might be basically doing the identical factor – pitching someone in your firms services or products. To comment on this article, it's essential to register or enroll and post using a HubPages Network account.

If you would like extra exterior assist and accountability in your at-house health regimen, this recreation is for you. Isaiah Bell knew even earlier than he acquired to Maryland that he needed to spend his life educating others about health.
Because the number of service sector jobs has risen in developed countries, increasingly more jobs have change into sedentary , presenting a distinct array of well being issues than those associated with manufacturing and the primary sector Modern issues, such as the rising charge of weight problems and points relating to stress and overwork in lots of international locations, have additional complicated the interplay between work and health.
As I said in my 2002 Chair's handle to the Association of American Medical Schools (AAMC), personalized medication was a chance to transform ideas of health care from focusing on treating established disease to an method that would be personalised, predictive, preventative, and would have interaction sufferers in their care.

Shadows, Poems, & Projections: Just a few haiku
It's one thing to say I'm going to start writing the truth, as I did in my previous blog. Actually doing it? That's quite another matter, but here's a first attempt. When I write these haiku, whom am I speaking to? Who is the "you" in my poetry? As I was reminded in one of my classes last week (rather inelegantly, but still), whenever we point our finger at someone else, we are really pointing back at our shadow selves, those parts of ourselves we are at war with. We are always projecting our fears and hopes, desires and needs onto those around us. And so it is with my poetry. Sure, these may be inspired by a particular person. There's a muse, to be certain, but on deeper reflection, I am "you." You are me, and to paraphrase the Beatles, we are all together. Goo goo g'joob.
I loved the way you
Swept the door open and bowed,
Welcoming me in.
We had a language–
an undercurrent, riptide.
I drowned in your words
You bequeathed to me
This gift of desperation
Exquisitely wrapped
Stop outguessing me.
Just walk your way, and I'll run
mine. We'll meet midway.
You do walk alone.
Were you breathless, keeping up
With my racing heart?
I've been your hostage
Since I read that first poem–
Enslaved by those words.
I am the blue sky
And you are the deep green sea
Breathe the air between
Writing Trouble: A Few Words on Distractions and Truth Telling
Every writer I know has trouble writing. —Joseph Heller
Nearly every night I sit down with my laptop and open it to a blank Word document, convinced that this is the night I will begin my masterpiece, my opus, my version of the Great American Novel. And then I get distracted: laundry, dinner, cats, a funny lump behind my earlobe, the stupid TwoDots game on my phone. Words with Friends. Something. Anything to keep me from putting my thoughts down. There are a million things I will do before I finally succumb to that little voice, that growing voice, that roaring voice, the one that pushes and pulses behind my eyeballs, that makes my heart pound faster. I have to, at some point, listen to that voice, give in to that voice or I will explode. Maya Angelou is credited with saying that there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside. I agree.
Another trouble with writing, with being a writer, particularly if one is a writer of nonfiction, memoir, creative nonfiction, is that telling the truth, or our version of the truth, is bound to offend someone. Probably we will offend someone close to us, a family member, a good friend. And we may throw lots of other folks under the bus—there's an entire cast of characters from which we can choose: teachers, grandparents, doctors, lawyers, therapists, the barista who forgot your regular order. The waiter who seated you near the kitchen. Really. This is an endless list.
And there are so many reasons we need to keep the peace with all of these folks. We need them to like us. And, what we often forget is that the chances of anyone actually reading what we write is slim. Oh sure, our writing group might, and a teacher, if we're in school. But Grandma? Uncle Ed? The barista? Not likely. So, really, this is not a good excuse to suppress the urge to write.
Never mind the friends and relatives, though. When I think about writing, about what I want to write, an overwhelming sense of responsibility immobilizes me. I can't write anything frivolous, I tell myself. What I write should be Serious. And Thoughtful. Well considered. And I should have read as much as possible on the topic. I don't want to offend anyone. What I write should have a moral, a takeaway, but subtly. I don't want to be too didactic. My prose should be poetic and authentic. My metaphors had better be spot on. My grammar and punctuation, impeccable. Most importantly, I don't want to be misunderstood.
No wonder I freeze up. No wonder I'd rather play gin rummy on my iPad.
But no more. This year I resolve to write the stories. And if you happen to be a character in my life, oh well.
You've been warned.
New Year Haiku
During the holidays I had the luxury of time, during which I was able to write some new haiku. I'm always amazed at how a few moments of contemplation can result in words, images, and phrases arriving and coalescing into something more, how an hour or two staring into space or at the sea creates the space in me to realize metaphors and make connections.
I want 2016 to include more of these moments, stolen away from the pressures of daily life. I want 2016 to be a year of more poetry.
This ache, unyielding,
Spreads through my bones. Malignant
Love, metastasized.
Pulled by your tides and
Seduced by your moon, I float
Free in your salt sea
Dreams of you send me
Beyond the curve of the earth
Spinning through night skies
Wash me, erode me–
Rough surf, relentless pounding.
Can't swim in these waves
I hope you don't mind,
Ersatz inspiration, you
Are my makeshift muse
I want to be as
relentless as the ocean
pursuing the shore
Anxious attacks me–
All soft syllables, she bites
With ferocity
We could be breathing
Side by side. Instead you chose
Only to exhale
There's new light on the
horizon. Nighttime will slip
Away into dawn
Some days I forget–
Even deep scars fade with time.
Blood and tears both dry.
I googled your name.
A thousand not-yous filled my
Screen. Damned imposters.
We are all blind in
Our refusal to really
See one another
Choosing blindness won't
Render you invisible.
My vision is clear
This fear electrifies–my
Body, conduit
Just a Few End of Summer Haiku
Here is my entire haiku output for August and September. Not much. Not many syllables. Haven't felt inspired. Except for these few haiku. Enjoy.
I have stopped writing
Poetry for you each night,
My reluctant muse.
What if we just breathe
together? Inhaling the
essence of ourselves
Marriage should not be
reduced to a tally, two
columns, keeping score
Today we untwist
One last thread, our gradual
great unraveling
Still unspoken, the
Honest truth sticks in my throat.
Captive to these fears.
Our story landed
Hard on my heart–opening,
Tenderizing me.
Inhale these words—breathe.
Let me carve our script inside
of you, a rough draft
Haiku's Slow Return
They are coming, the words, the syllables. Slowly, five-seven-five. Here are a few of the latest:
How hard must I wish,
To conjure your words from air?
Eyes shut. Hands open.
Life Now
Hot flashes, fever
Spontaneous combustion.
Sweep up my ashes.
They knew no better
Trapped as they were by their times.
How will we be judged?
It occurs to me
This is just fantasy. Still.
Happy Birthday Haikus
I'll need thicker skin
If I'm going to keep this heart
On my sleeve alive
That's it. That is the only haiku I've written in the past month or so. After five months of what seemed to be inspired, non-stop poetry, the words have ceased flowing. Nothing makes sense. The metaphors seem forced, the similes thin. My haiku muse has abandoned me.
I supposed I should be grateful to have been smiled upon at all, thankful for the time we had, the syllables she gifted me, but I'm a little bitter. I thought I had a connection, a gift, a deal with the universe. If it would give me the words, I would write the poems.
But nothing in this life is guaranteed and I am grateful to have had the 120 or so haikus I wrote between January and the end of April.
Today is my 51st birthday and I want my gift to be the return of my poetry. Here are a few of my favorites in the hope I will be re-inspired:
A ribbon of words
Unfurls and I have written
The way to my heart
If I exhale words
Will you breathe deeply and find
Tattoos on your heart?
Words spark and ignite
Tender tinder, dry fuel
Strike a careful match
Play me for a fool
Or like a Spanish guitar.
My heartstrings. Your song.
Knead me with language
Release these tightly coiled
Naked emotions
Tired of falling in?
There's a path without that hole.
Today I'll walk there.
Starved for language and
Famished, I crave the constant
Conversation. Words.
Look. Hold the moon's gaze
And feel gravity's release—
Float away on waves.

For entrepreneurs, franchising often seems like a very attractive option. It's a way for small business owners to immediately attach themselves to an established brand. And, whereas starting a business from scratch requires lots of networking, marketing and advertising to even begin the process of cultivating a customer base and building a name for oneself, franchises usually come with loyal customers, established reputations and instant name recognition among the public. (Not that marketing and advertising aren't also necessary when opening a franchise, but much of the groundwork has already been laid by the parent company/franchiser.)
There are dangers to franchising as well, however, and perhaps there is no clearer example of these potential perils than the recent Gulf Coast Oil Spill crisis. Currently, thousands of small business owners who operate BP franchise stations are suffering the consequences of bearing the name of a company associated with an environmental disaster. Facebook groups like "Boycott BP" and other grassroots efforts are keeping customers away from BP stations. So, despite having nothing to do with the parent company's mistake and actions, it is the franchisees bearing their own economic costs/losses for the catastrophe.
BP has tried to mitigate some of these consequences for their franchisees through television and radio ads asking the public not to forget that BP stations are owned by individuals, and not BP itself, but it remains to be seen what effect, if any, the PR campaign will have on where the public purchases its gas.
As I see it, the take away from all of this is not that franchises are evil or that they're an incredibly dangerous liability for entrepreneurs, but rather that each and every business owner, whether a franchisee or independent entity, must always have a "worst case scenario" plan.
I imagine that most BP station owners never imagined it possible for an ongoing oil spill to develop underneath the ocean's surface, and of course, not all catastrophes are conceivable. However, it is possible to review what could go wrong in any business, environmental and/or economic situation, and be prepared with a plan B, C and D in the event such occurrences do arise.
Have you saved for rainy days? Can you recall products if necessary? Are you prepared to apologize for public snafus? What would you do if it all started to go South tomorrow?
All entrepreneurs dream of success, but preparing for failure may be just as integral to that success as the quality of your product, customer service and available resources.

Social rejection can create powerful changes in our brains and bodies. Here, we examined brain-based individual differences associated with buffering against cardiovascular threat responses to social rejection. Using electroencephalographic source localization techniques, we examined differences in intracortical asymmetry with the prediction that individuals with greater left relative to right dorsolateral prefrontal activity would show a more approach motivated response to social rejection. Eighty-four female participants were randomly assigned to stressful situations characterized by either social rejection, social evaluation without rejection, or self-evaluation. Among those assigned to social rejection, the greater the left prefrontal intracortical activity at baseline, the more participants had adaptive cardiovascular profiles and the more participants reported approach-oriented emotions. Social evaluation without rejection and self-evaluation did not show these relationships. These data are the first to show that social context matters when attempting to link individual neural differences in cortical asymmetry with approach-related cardiovascular and emotional outcomes.
Social rejection is a common, perhaps ubiquitous, outcome for social animals. We can be rejected by a romantic interest, passed over for a job, or ignored and belittled by others. Psychological research has demonstrated the powerful effects of social rejection on our minds, bodies, and experiences. Social rejection can result in negative emotional responses, including increased shame, sadness, and anxiety (Ayduk, Mischel, & Downey, 2002; Williams, 2001), physiological changes such as increased and sustained catabolic hormone levels, reduced immune function, malignant cardiovascular responses (Cacioppo, Hawkley, & Berntson, 2003; Stroud, et al., 2000; Mendes, Major, McCoy, & Blascovich, 2008) and neural responses, including recruitment of brain regions implicated in coding the emotional component of pain, such as the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (Eisenberger, Lieberman, & Williams, 2003). While the psychological and neurobiological correlates of social rejection have been explored, few studies have investigated what enables some individuals to retain an approach motivation in the face of social scrutiny. Here we examine individual differences in intracortical asymmetry as a buffer to the psychological and physiological threat that typically follow social rejection.
Correlational research suggests that frontal cortical asymmetry in favor of the left hemisphere is related to approach motivation (which could reflect either positive affect or anger), better ability to regulate negative emotions, and increased well-being (Davidson, 1993; Harmon-Jones, Gable, & Peterson, in press; Jackson et al., 2003; Urry et al., 2004). More specifically, recent evidence implicates left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) regions in some of these positive psychological outcomes (Berkman & Lieberman, 2009; Pizzagalli, Sherwood, Henriques, & Davidson, 2005). But how do individual differences in frontal cortical asymmetry influence these long term outcomes? We suggest that individuals with relatively greater left cortical asymmetry might respond to acute stressful and socially evaluative situations with a more resilient response profile. This psychological mettle against life's stressors may then accumulate to better long term outcomes, including well-being and life satisfaction. We hypothesized that relatively increased left DLPFC resting activity would buffer against an intense psychologically stressful experience, specifically social rejection. To test this hypothesis, we examined how individual differences in resting frontal activity influenced autonomic nervous system responses to social rejection compared to social evaluation without rejection and self-evaluation.
As ANS functioning must largely be determined by activity in the brain, it is surprising how little work has managed to bridge the divide between neural and autonomic functioning and predict ANS responses from brain activity. To examine how individual differences in cortical asymmetry influence downstream ANS changes, we considered situations that were highly stressful and would activate the body's two primary stress systems: the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axes. Prior research suggests that relative activation of these two systems can differentiate benign, positive stress states (challenge) from more damaging stress responses (threat) (Dienstbier, 1989; Blascovich & Mendes, 2010; Mendes et al., 2008). Although both challenge and threat occur during stressful situations, the two states differ in their appraisal process and downstream cardiovascular reactivity. Accordingly, challenge occurs when individuals appraise their resources as exceeding the demands of the task, whereas threat occurs when situational demands exceed resources. Cardiovascular responses linked to challenge are characterized by increases from baseline in cardiac output (CO, the volume of oxygenated blood), and decreases in total peripheral resistance (TPR)—vasodilation. Threat is characterized by little or no increase in CO and increases in TPR—vasoconstriction. Challenge states have been associated with better cognitive performance (Kassam, Koslov, & Mendes, 2009), more approach-oriented behavior (Mendes et al., 2008), and reduced risk of cellular aging (Mendes & Epel, 2010). Furthermore, one of the primary determinants of "challenge" states, increased cardiac output, has been linked to decelerated brain aging in the Framingham sample (Jefferson, et al., 2010). Individuals with greater cardiac output had increased brain volume and showed increased cognitive processing speed in older adulthood, leading these researchers to speculate that increased oxygenated blood produced by the heart can have long-term protective effects in the brain.
In the present study, we expected that individuals with greater left prefrontal asymmetry would experience stressful situations with more challenge physiological profiles. We anticipated that this relationship would especially emerge during situations that were associated with social evaluative threat—when an aspect of the self could be negatively judged by others (Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004) - compared to situations that were self-relevant or socially evaluative, but not threatening.
We recruited 87 females (age: M = 22.2; SD = 1.9) via advertisements for a 3-hour study on physiological responses during various tasks. During a phone interview we administered a portion of the Structured Clinical Inventory for the DSM-IV (SCID; First, Spitzer, Gibbon & Williams, 2002) and scheduled women who were right-handed, reported no personal or first-degree family history of Axis I psychopathology, learning disorders, or neurological conditions. Furthermore, we prescreened participants for general health conditions and provided instructions to reduce factors that would influence neuroendocrine variables during testing. Participants were scheduled during the follicular stage of their menstrual cycle (Symonds, Gallagher, Thompson & Young, 2004) and compensated $10/hour.
Upon arrival, participants were told that the experiment's general purpose was to investigate physiological responses during rest versus active tasks. We did not initially describe the stress task to prevent anticipatory stress that might contaminate baseline assessments. We applied sensors for EEG and ANS response recording; then participants sat for an 8-min resting baseline. Approximately 30 minutes after arrival, the first saliva sample was obtained.
Next, the experimenter described the upcoming task and verbal consent was obtained. Participants were instructed that they would first prepare and then deliver a 5-minute speech, which would be followed by a 5-minute question and answer (Q&A) session in a mock job interview (Akinola & Mendes, 2008). Participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: no social evaluation (NSE; control); social evaluation (SE; with positive feedback), or social evaluative threat (SET; with negative feedback). These conditions were operationalized in terms of the presence or absence of interviewers during the speech (SE and SET vs. NSE) and then evaluation was further differentiated into SE and SET based on the type of non-verbal feedback given by interviewers. In the control condition, participants were told that they would deliver the speech alone in the room. The control condition was designed to require similar metabolic demands associated with speaking, but without social evaluation.
In the two social evaluation conditions, participants were informed that they would deliver the speech to two interviewers. Once the participants gave consent, two research assistants (one male, one female) entered the room to reiterate the instructions. Subsequently, participants were left alone for five minutes of speech preparation.
After preparation, the interviewers re-entered the room and participants began the speech. At this point the experimental conditions diverged into either social evaluation or social evaluative threat. The interviewers' roles were scripted and coordinated so that all participants had a consistent experience. In SE, interviewers gave positive non-verbal feedback by smiling, nodding, leaning forward, and appearing to be actively engaged during the speech. In contrast, in the SET condition, interviewers shook their heads, frowned, leaned back, and appeared to dislike the participant's performance. Prior to, as well as following, the speech all participants completed an appraisal and affect questionnaire.
Next, participants completed a 5-minute Q&A session during which the interviewers asked general questions (e.g., "Are you striving to be a jack of all trades or an expert in one field?"). During the Q&A, the feedback manipulations in the SE and SET conditions were maintained. In the NSE condition, the participant was handed index cards with one question per card and was instructed to read each question and then answer it aloud. Five minutes of cardiovascular data were collected during the speech and Q&A sessions.
After the Q&A, the interviewers left the room. A recovery period commenced after which the experimenter collected a second saliva sample that served as our reactivity sample (25 minutes from the start of the stressor). The participants then completed tasks not discussed here. Forty-five minutes after the start of the stressor, participants provided a third saliva sample that served as our recovery sample.
Resting EEG was recorded using a 128-channel Electrical Geodesic system (EGI Inc., Eugene, OR) during 8 alternating one-minute periods (four eyes closed, four eyes open; counterbalanced across participants). Data were sampled at 250 Hz (0.1-100 Hz analog filter) and referenced to the vertex. Impedances were kept below 45 kΩ.
Cardiac measures were recorded noninvasively using an ambulatory impedance cardiography recording device, AMS46 (Vrije University, Amsterdam). Cardiac impedance (Z0) and electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings were obtained from six electrodes placed on the neck and torso. In addition to these cardiac measures, blood pressure was measured throughout using tonometric technology (Biopac, Goleta, CA), which estimates blood pressure from the radial artery.
Data were scored in 1-minute segments to calculate cardiac output (CO), a measure of the blood being pumped from the heart, and pre-ejection period (PEP), a time-based measure of the force of the ventricle contractions. Total peripheral resistance (TPR) was estimated with the standard equation: (Mean Arterial Pressure/CO) × 80.
Samples were obtained using the passive drool method and stored at −80° C. Upon completion of the study, samples were sent to Kirschbaum's laboratory in Dresden, Germany, to be assayed for cortisol using commercial immunoassay kits (IBL). Intra- and inter-assay coefficients were less than 10%.
We assessed demand and resources appraisals, affect states, and participants' perceptions of how the interviewers perceived them (Akinola & Mendes, 2008). As in previous research, we created a ratio of perceived demands to personal resources to calculate a threat index, with higher scores reflecting greater threat states.
Self-reported affect was assessed using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988). Participants rated their current feelings on 20 affect states (10 positive and 10 negative) using 5-point scales ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a great deal). The positive and negative affect scales were calculated for each time point and had high reliability (αs: .85-.91). We also calculated an a priori "approach" scale using the items strong, alert, determined, and active (αs: .72-.76).
As a manipulation check, participants assigned to the evaluation conditions rated how well they believed each of the interviewers thought they performed (e.g., "She thought I performed well on the task"). Responses for the male and female judges were highly correlated (α = .91) so we averaged these responses into a single score.
EEG data were re-referenced off-line to an average reference. Eye-movement (e.g., blinks) and ECG artifacts were removed using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) performed using Brain Vision Analyzer software (Brain Products GmbH, Germany). Data were scored manually to eliminate artifacts, and all available artifact-free 2048-ms EEG epochs were extracted. Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA, Pascual-Marqui et al., 1999) was used to estimate current density for various EEG frequency bands; in light of the extensive frontal EEG asymmetry literature, analyses focused on the alpha1 (8.5-10.0 Hz) and alpha2 (10.5-12.0 Hz) band (Pizzagalli et al., 2005). The LORETA solution space included 2,394 cubic elements ("voxels," 7 mm3) and was restricted to cortical gray matter and hippocampi, as defined by the MNI305 template (Montreal Neurologic Institute, Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Before statistical analyses, overall current density for each band was intensity-normalized to 1.
In light of a priori hypotheses about the role of alpha activity within DLPFC regions, a region-of-interest (ROI) approach was used to minimize the number of statistical tests performed. Specifically, the left and right Brodmann Areas (BA) 9 and 46 were anatomically defined (Lancaster et al., 2000; Petrides & Pandya, 1999; Rajkowska & Goldman-Rakic, 1995a,b) (Figure 1). The left and right BA9 contained 35 (12.01 cm3) and 38 (13.03 cm3) voxels, respectively; the left and right BA46 each included 12 voxels (4.12 cm3).
The extracted alpha1 and alpha2 current density was averaged across voxels and log-transformed, and then frontal asymmetry was calculated by taking the current density in the right and subtracting current density in the left. Because alpha activity is inversely correlated with brain activation (Coan & Allen, 2004, Davidson, Jackson & Larson, 2000; Oakes et al., 2004), a positive frontal intracortical asymmetry index reflects relatively higher activity in the left DLPFC. The four variables (2 sub-bands x 2 ROIs) were highly correlated (r = .93, p < .0001); accordingly, analyses focused on a composite of alpha1 and alpha2 extracted from BA9. BA9 was prioritized because it was spatially closer than BA46 to the location of F3 and F4 (Figure 1d), the scalp electrodes most widely probed in frontal EEG studies. Similar, albeit statistically less robust, findings emerged when considering BA46.
Of the original 87 participants, one was lost because of illness, and two were excluded due to protocol deviations. The remaining 84 participants were used in all analyses and varying degrees of freedom below represent missing values for physiological or self-report data.
We first compared the NSE condition to the average of the two evaluation conditions with respect to changes in sympathetic activation, PEP, during the stress task. Average changes in PEP from the interview task yielded a significant difference by evaluation condition, F (1, 73) = 17.34, p < .0001. As expected, the NSE condition resulted in significantly less sympathetic activation (ΔPEP: M = −2.0, S.D. = 7.0) than the evaluation conditions (ΔPEP: M = −10.2, S.D. = 8.5). Importantly, only the evaluation conditions resulted in a significant decrease from baseline (evaluation, t (50) = −8.47, p < .0001; no evaluation, t (25) = −1.41, ns).
Next, we examined if the manipulations were perceived and experienced as intended. We operationalized social evaluative threat as the extent to which participants believed that they were performing poorly and experienced the interview task as more threatening. To confirm this manipulation, we first examined participants' responses to how they believed the interviewers perceived their speech. As intended, participants in the SET condition perceived the evaluators as disliking their interview more than those in the SE condition, F (1, 51) = 19.5, p < .0001 (Table 1).
We then compared all conditions on appraisals and changes in affect. The SET condition resulted in participants appraising the situation as more threatening than those in the SE or NSE condition, F (2, 81) = 3.82, p < .02. We then examined negative and positive affect and observed significant differences by condition. Controlling for pretask affect, negative affect was significantly greater in the SET condition than the other conditions, F (2, 81) = 6.50, p < .01. Similarly, positive affect was higher in SE than the other conditions, F (2, 81) = 4.69, p < .02, driven primarily by higher positive affect in SE compared to SET. Altogether, these findings indicate that we successfully manipulated the subjective experience of different types of social evaluation.
To evaluate neuroendocrine data, we conducted a mixed model analysis of variance (ANOVA) with condition as between subjects, time (baseline, reactivity, and recovery) as within subjects, and number of hours since waking as the covariate. This model produced a significant effect for condition, F (2, 79) = 4.48, p < .014, which was qualified by a significant time by condition interaction, F (4, 158) = 2.58, p < .04 (Figure 2). Simple effects tests within each time period showed that there were no differences between conditions at baseline, F (2, 79) = 0.48, ns, but there were significant condition effects at time 2 (reactivity), F (2, 79) = 4.29, p < .02, and time 3 (recovery), F (2, 79) = 4.77, p < .01. Orthogonal simple comparisons from time 2 confirmed that cortisol reactivity was greater in the SET relative to SE condition, F (1, 79) = 3.91, p < .05, which in turn elicited greater cortisol reactivity than the control condition, F (1, 79) = 4.67, p < .04. Simple comparisons between the conditions at time 3 yielded similar findings (SET > SE; F (1, 79) = 4.05, p < .05).
As cortisol increases tend to be psychologically non-specific—many different psychological states are associated with increased cortisol responses—we did not expect cortisol reactivity to be associated with resting BA9 activity. We examined correlations among cortisol reactivity and resting BA9 responses and even though the direction of the relationship was consistent with more adaptive profiles associated with more left cortical asymmetry none of the condition effects were significant: no social evaluation, r = −.16; social evaluation, r = −.15; social evaluative threat, r = −.36.
Our primary prediction was context-specific, and suggested relations between EEG asymmetry and autonomic activation only in the SET condition. Before testing this prediction, we examined whether asymmetric activation was related to any of the cardiovascular responses at rest. We tested the bivariate correlation between our asymmetry variable and resting CV responses, specifically CO, PEP, and TPR. None of the CV responses at baseline were significantly correlated with asymmetric activity, all rs < |0.12|.
We then tested the primary prediction that greater left asymmetric activity would be associated with buffered cardiovascular reactivity to the SET condition but not NSE or SE conditions. We first calculated bivariate correlations of asymmetric activity and cardiovascular reactivity data by condition. As shown in Table 2, significant correlations emerged between relative left frontal cortical activity and cardiovascular and emotional indicators of threat/challenge, but only in the SET condition. These correlations show that the greater the relative left frontal activity at rest, the higher the CO, the lower the TPR reactivity, and the greater the self-reported, approach affect during SET, all indicating greater challenge responses.
Using regression analyses, we then formally tested whether the effects we observed in SET were significantly different from those in the other conditions. When predicting CO, the first step, which included the asymmetry variable and effect-coded condition main effects, produced a non-significant model, R2 = .11, n.s. The second step included the initial predictors plus the interaction terms (condition by asymmetry interactions). As expected, the inclusion of the interaction terms significantly increased model fit, ΔR2 = .07, p < .02. Supporting the threat buffering hypothesis, the more participants displayed relatively greater left asymmetry during rest the greater the CO increase during the social evaluative threat task (b = 2.60, p < .01) (Figure 3a). The relations between asymmetry and CO changes were not significant during the SE (b = 1.50, ns) or the control (b = −0.65, ns) conditions.
We re-ran this model predicting changes in TPR. The initial model was not significant, R2 = .11, n.s, however, the addition of the asymmetry x condition terms significantly increased model fit, ΔR2 = .06, p < .022 (Figure 3b). Similar to the CO analyses, among participants assigned to the SET condition, the greater the left frontal asymmetry the lower the TPR (b = −.88, p < .05). Asymmetric activity was not related to TPR changes during the SE (b = −35.0, ns) or NSE (b = 55.4, ns) conditions.
We then used this model to predict self-reported approach emotions. Although the bivariate correlations showed significant relations between asymmetry and self-reported approach affect in the SET condition and not in the other conditions, the effects in SET were not significantly different than the other conditions.
The goal of the present study was to examine individual differences in frontal resting asymmetry as a predictor of approach motivation in stressful situations involving social rejection. We hypothesized that during socially evaluative situations resting left DLPFC asymmetry would buffer against threat responses as indexed by cardiovascular reactivity. We observed significant associations between left frontal asymmetry and cardiovascular stress responses, but only when participants were exposed to social rejection. Specifically, under social threat conditions, left frontal asymmetry (measured as an average of alpha1 and alpha2 current density in Brodmann area 9) predicted increased cardiac output - a sign of cardiac efficiency - and decreased total peripheral pressure - an indication of dilation in the arterioles, both of which have been linked to a challenge or approach stress states. Conversely, the less left frontal asymmetry was associated with maladaptive, or threat, cardiovascular response. Collectively, these findings indicate that participants with higher resting activity in the left relative to right prefrontal cortex exhibited more adaptive, approach-oriented cardiovascular stress responses when confronted with social evaluative threat.
These data highlight the importance of taking into account environmental and contextual factors when seeking the putative impact of brain-based traits on physiological and emotional outcomes. We know of no previous studies which have examined relationships between frontal cortical asymmetry and cardiovascular responding, and this work indicates that such relationships may only emerge when examined in relevant contexts. In this study, that context was social evaluation, operationalized as a motivated performance situation with two interviewers, where either the interviewers gave positive feedback - which was itself a protective factor - or negative feedback, leading to a situation of social evaluative threat. The beneficial effects of left prefrontal asymmetry emerged only in the condition where participants were without environmental protective factors, in short, when they were most vulnerable to experiencing social stress.
In spite of these findings, it is important to emphasize that it is unclear from our data what affective states are associated with approach-motivated physiology. While challenge states are often associated with positive affect, these states have also been associated with anger (Mendes et al., 2008). Furthermore, left prefrontal asymmetry has been associated with anger responses (Harmon-Jones, 2003; Harmon-Jones & Allen, 1998), a negatively valenced, approach-related emotion. Given this prior data highlighting both positive and negative affective correlates of left frontal asymmetry, we must be cautious in interpreting these left frontal asymmetry relationships in a purely positive light. Individuals with relatively higher left frontal activity likely experienced a blend of affective responses in the social threat condition - anger and challenge. Importantly, we did not find any evidence that participants were angrier using PANAS items, but we would consider this an open question. The careful conclusion to draw from this work is that left frontal asymmetry was associated with approach motivation, and future research should attempt to disambiguate the valence components of this response.
One could draw parallels between this work and research highlighting associations between specific genetic traits and emotional disorders emerging exclusively when considering life stressors (e.g. Caspi et al., 2003). In an acute setting, we found that right prefrontal asymmetry might represent a disposition to experiencing exacerbated threat to social rejection. As researchers continue to search for biological differences in the etiology of physical and mental diseases, we think the present findings represent a simple but powerful example that context matters -reactions to an acute stressor can reveal relationships that do not exist during resting states or "positive" stress experiences.
There may be important physical and psychological health outcomes which are dependent on both an individual's trait frontal asymmetry and the types of social stressors s/he encounters in life. Since individuals with right prefrontal asymmetry demonstrated malignant acute reactivity to a social threat this may accumulate over time to vulnerabilities such as coronary disease or hypertension. In addition, increased sensitivity to and vigilance for social threat could contribute to the development and maintenance of social anxiety or depression. Within this framework, it is interesting to note that both depression (Pizzagalli et al., 2002) and social anxiety disorders (Davidson, et al, 2002) have been associated with increased right frontal asymmetry. In sum, our findings demonstrate that left resting prefrontal asymmetry can act as a protective factor for individuals in a threatening situational context, while right prefrontal asymmetry may be an important vulnerability factor to consider in stress-diathesis models of disease etiology and progression.

What Are The Different Kinds Of Construction
It is when you are assembling or building an infrastructure that this method is considered as construction. It is the construction engineer, project manager, architect that usually mans these kinds of process. There are a number of types of construction when you will try to dissect it more. And it is in this article that we will be talking about the different types of construction.
When you will be talking about the different type of construction, one of them is the building construction. It is with this one that you will be building infrastructures on a piece of land or real property. It is also this type of construction that will cater to small projects like bathroom reconstructions. Most of the time it is the building owner that acts as a designer and even laborer. But generally, it is this type of construction that also must include a number of elements like financial, design, and legal aspects. It is the local building authorities that have set the codes of practice that should be followed by any residential construction. The material used in this kind of construction can be seen in the market readily. It is stone, bricks, and timber that is usually used. It is also the building construction that the cost of the project is calculated per square foot. When it comes to the cost of the construction, it is its location that can cause changes.
The heavy or civil construction is the other type of construction. When talking about this type of construction, it basically involves the addition of an infrastructure to the environment of a building. It is also this one that mostly involves both local or national government agencies. It is also this type of construction that have legal and financial considerations. It is for the public's general interest why these projects are being done. It is the large companies that usually supervised these ones.
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Construction? This May Help
When talking about type of construction, one of them is the industrial construction. A special skill when it comes it design, planning, and construction is needed with this type. For large companies to make profits, these projects are usually done. It is this one that involves industries like power generation, chemical, and medicine.
If You Think You Understand Experts, Then This Might Change Your Mind
It is when you will be taking about construction that you will also be able to find a lot of reputable construction companies. There are construction companies that work with national sector groups. It s also common for these construction companies to be focusing on the building construction in partnership with large companies. It is also possible for construction companies it be providing services like supply chain management.
