Cee's Share Your World week 48
Do you agree with my answers?
Do you prefer eating foods with nuts or no nuts?
I'm generally a nut person. I love whole nut chocolate, I love peanuts. But, I definitely do not like peanut butter! When I was young, I remember having bags of whole nuts in shells at Christmas time, that you had to break open with nutcrackers. I loved setting free the walnuts, and the Brazil nuts. The almonds were almost impossible though.
If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?
That's an interesting question! I've lived in a lot of countries and in dozens of houses,been to dozens of schools, had a variety of different jobs my life story could be a travel programme! You'd need a very big budget to make a movie of my life, you would need to go to many different locations! I would like to hire five different directors and get them to make a film of my life in each of the five headings suggested above. I have no idea how the science fiction one would turn out……
Who talks real sense to you?
I would say my middle child, Jessica. She now has children of her own, and has turned into the most gorgeous, sensible, intelligent, level headed young woman. When she was very young, she was a nightmare. She never slept well, was the fussiest person on earth regarding her food, and she was so strong willed. But now she is the most sensible one of my three children, she will always say what she means, but she is a good listener and is very honest.
Do you have a favorite board game?
When I was very young, we had loads of board games in the house. I remember playing monopoly when I was around eight years old, as well as Scrabble. Another favourite was Cluedo. As an adult, I remember when Trivial Pursuit was around, and still like that, to this day, I still play Words With Friends, as well as Scrabble, on my iPad, if you fancy challenging me to a game!
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I'm grateful that all my baking skills came together and that the Batman cake I made for my grandson's fourth birthday turned out as well as I hoped. I'm looking forward to Wednesday evening when a viewer has arranged to come and look at our house, which is up for sale. Maybe she'll make us an offer!


text: I just recently purchased a set of Advent AS2s for about $130 shipped. Now I am in desperate need of a new receiver. I have an old Pioneer POS receiver that I got back in '99. It says its rated 5x100 but it can't weigh more than 10lbs. Anyway, right now I only have the two advents as mains and possibly a set of Infinity Entra ones for surrounds. I think the Advents are rated for 20-200 watts so I'm looking for something in the middle. So far I'm looking at the Panasonic SA-XR50 and the Pioneer VSX-D514k. If you can think of any others that would meet my needs that would be great. The system is mainly used for movies and loud music during parties. If you need any other info lemme know. Thank You, Brian J

This should be impossible to accept. If you can then you lose. If you would like to debate me leave a comment.
I recently did a forum on this subject and it sparked interesting conversation, so I decided to do a debate on it.
Money: Cash, Dollars, I think its pretty self explanatory.
Buy: exchange money for an object or service.
Happiness: The emotion of Happiness.
First round is acceptance only
forfeit in any round means automatic loss
BoP is shared
I must show that Money Can Buy Happiness, and Con must show Money cannot buy happiness.
Per your stipulation, I confer my acceptance of the debate and pass to you for opening. Best of luck with your argumentation and at the polls.
Money Can Buy Happiness
For nearly every person I have ever met, giving them money brings happiness. For almost every person I know, buying things that they want, brings them happiness. Money can buy things that make people happy, for some that may be drugs, alcohol, sports, toys, video games, food, clothes, partying and so on. All of these things can be bought. It is even possible to buy family (through adoption) and more friends with money. The quality of those friends may be questionable, but friends are still friends.
I would like to point out early on, by saying "buying happiness" I don't mean life long happiness. That is impossible, happiness is a temporary emotion. That is the happiness money can buy, even if it leads directly to sadness (i.e. through drugs and alcohol) the happiness it brings due to money is still there at the beginning. My argument is not that money always brings happiness, or cannot bring sadness. What I am saying is that for the majority of people the obtaining and spending of money on things that pleasure them brings happiness.
Thank you again for the debate, Rubikx, and for having the nerve to pick the position which is harder to defend. I look forward to a spirited engagement.
I accept your definitions, except for happiness. Your definition is a tautology. I propose:
Happiness: a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy (1).
For this debate it is important that we point out that happiness transcends pleasure, elation, etc in that it is a broader, longer-lasting, dispositional state of mind rather than a transient mood.
I will begin with rebuttals, and then present my position.
1. You have of course engaged in anecdotal speculation in the first paragraph. This is a good starting place for investigation, but does not constitute a sound argument.
2. You have no means of determining their happiness, so you don't know that money makes them happy (or sad).
3. You are confusing correlation with causation; how can you dismiss the possibility that there may be more rich people in your area, especially living in a developed country, and that the lifestyle and lack of disease and relative safety are what lead to happiness, but by pure numbers there must be a higher number of rich happy people than elsewhere in the world?
4. I think you are wrong about "happiness being a temporary emotion"; having sex causes pleasure, not happiness. Wining a medal is rewarding and gives you what we call 'joy' or a sense of accomplishment, but in and of itself this is not what is widely regarded as happiness.
You are dismissing your definition of 'buy'
Firstly, you are dismissing your own definition.
"Buy: exchange money for an object or service."
By definition, you cannot 'buy' happiness because it is not an object or service.
Now, this may seem like pointless semantic nitpicking, but it's actually a crucial logical implement that we have to employ to answer our question. Let me explain.
When you have eaten enough food, you are full, or 'satiated'. (2)
Now in a symbolic sense we can say that money buys satiety. But it doesn't exactly. Money buys food, which, when consumed, leads to satiety. A leads to B which leads to C. But that does NOT permit you to say that B = C, or that A = C. What happens, for instance, if you buy food but don't eat it? Then you aren't satiated.
This is part of the trouble with the problem of curing world poverty; throwing money at it doesn't seem to make it go away. What is ALSO required is thinking power, planning, space, agricultural education and a host of other intermediary points. Now these things can be bought with money, but they can also be donated or volunteered. Before money, there was a barter system. The point is this: the money might buy you things which may give you pleasure, but it's the things or the people or the places you travel or your experiences or accumulated knowledge about the world that amalgamate into something we call happiness. And money cannot purchase this emotion because money has, by definition, no inherent value. It is completely valueless plastic, metal and paper, and its currency is only valuable to the extent that we ascribe it.
For these and a number of other reasons that I will discuss later, Money cannot purchase happiness, because that's not how money works.
Best of luck,
(1) [http://en.wikipedia.org...]

AN EMOTION is "a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others."
For example. I walk up to a person on the street and slap them. Instantly they will feel mad, confused, shocked. But just because they are temporarily upset due to a physical response doesn't mean their entire outlook on life has change and are thus upset for the rest of their lives. Thats not how emotions work. They are temporary influencers not long term deciders.
A MENTAL state is "a mental condition in which the qualities of a state are relatively constant even though the state itself may be dynamic". Using my previous example. The person I slapped may soon forgive me because they choose to accept what has happened to them even though their emotional state would make them want to slap me back. They can choose to be optimistic about being slapped even though they will be temporarily upset. Their conscious mind has a larger impact. There is a very big difference between the two. Happiness is an emotion, not a mental state.
Sources in comments.. sorry couldn't fit them in
"You have no means of determining their happiness, so you don't know that money makes them happy (or sad)."
This is partially true, you cannot measure happiness. But this is also true with pain. There is no way of measuring pain because it is subjective. But if you ask a person if they are in pain they know how much pain they are in they will tell you despite the fact that you can't actually measure it. Using the slapping example once more. I can't measure pain, so that means I don't know if slapping someone creates pain? Of coarse not, I know both from experience and from watching their body language and their verbal response whether or not they are happy or in pain, even if I can't actually measure it.
I do live in a developed country, but I have also lived in South America near lots of poverty, I have also lived in the US near people and places that where also suffering financially. And regardless of where I've lived giving people money gave them happiness.
This is also partially true, you cannot go to a store and buy a jar of happiness. That was a grammatical error on my part. Using your A,B,C example. A leads to B and on to C. While its true A doesn't equal C, you still require A to get to C. It all comes down to semantics. It could be argued the actual eating (swallowing) of the food doesn't bring nourishment. It is the digestive system that provides nourishment when given food and so swallowing food doesn't actually give you nourishment. I hope this gets my point across and we don't have to waste this debate arguing over a grammatical fault. What I should have said originally was "Money can buy things that provide happiness" even though the idea is still the same. I would hate to waste this debate over a small error.
Yes, but giving money to people who need it still gives happiness to both the receiver and giver. It doesn't necessarily cure poverty as the problem often isn't just that they have no money, but it does provide happiness.
"MONEY HAS NO INHERENT VALUE.. except TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ASCRIBE IT"
But we still give it value. If a kid gives their mom a painting, it has sentimental value even if its market price is zero. Currency value isn't the only way to measure the value of an object. The painting has a value of zero, its worth nothing. But that mother still won't give it up because it is valuable to them. Value can be both subjective and objective. Some people place more value on money then others even if its technically the same.
I would like to point out that I'm not saying family, friends, and experiences don't bring happiness, because they do. I'm only saying so can money
Thank You and Good luck
Thank you once again for your round.
I'm not sure whether you have misunderstood my positions, or are misrepresenting them. I will first provide some clarifications, then go on to demonstrate further that Money Cannot Buy Happiness.
You are misrepresenting the distinction between mood and emotion.
Mood: A mood is an emotional state. Moods differ from emotions in that they are less specific, less intense, and less likely to be triggered by a particular stimulus or event. (1)
Emotion: state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. (as per your definition).
You try, in your paragraph, to distinguish between an Emotion and a 'Mental State' (which is not frequently used in the literature), however you acknowledge in your own definition that an emotion is a 'state of mind' i.e. mental state. You say "Happiness is an emotion, not a mental state" but claim that an emotion is one type of mental state. I object to the usage of the term mental state as it is informal and not in the psychological literature.
You then say that I said we have no means of determining happiness. This is not what I said and it isn't true. Although we can't objectively measure the 'stuff' of happiness, we have gotten pretty good at using standardised indicies and meaned scales to determine a person's relative happiness against a standard control index. Same as for pain; we do have pain scales, which are hard to validate in the objective sense but are statistically reliable enough to use as a guide of relative pain (which is where we derive 'thresholds', etc).
Regardless, this entire detour is a deviation from the topic, however I of course must rebut your contentions to avoid concession.
In your next paragraph you concede the debate: "you cannot go to a store and buy a jar of happiness".
You then go on to bizarrely implement what can only be described as poor syllogistic leading. Specifically, your fallacy is called 'Affirming the Consequent' - I haven't the space to expound here, check source (2).
This is not a small error, it is the cornerstone of this debate. Let's say we cut out the middle man and give a person a house, or food, or take them overseas. The happiness they derive comes from those experiences or whatever the case may be. People are excited and rewarded by money because of its purchasing power, which is linearly correlated with the value of goods produced in the economy. It is representative, symbolic of real things. Of itself, it is nothing. This is why money cannot purchase happiness, but the things that money purchases can sometimes lead to satisfaction and a happier life.
Since you seem to be permitting anecdotes, let me supply one for you. Last year I spent two and a half months travelling through South-East Asia. The poorest country I visited on my trip was Cambodia, and they were by far the happiest and kindest people. I'm not saying they're related, and I have no evidence of this, it is purely anecdote, but that's how it is.
Render of new arguments in simple structure:
1. Even if money brings happiness, it is not purchasing happiness.
2. According the Happy Planet Index, some of the poorest countries are happier than the US or other Western countries:
- Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Argentina, Chile, Vietnam, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are all examples of poorer countries who have happiness threshold far, far above the West (3). Costa Rica sits at an index of 64.0, while the US is a dismal 37.3 (4) - wouldn't want to live there! My country isn't a whole lot better, admittedly.
3. The fundamental point is that not only can money not buy happiness in the technical sense, it also objectively doesn't.
Over to you.

(4) [Ibid.]
Mood vs Emotion vs state of mind (Mental State).
Sorry for using Mental State. I am not proficient in psychological literature, by using mental state I meant state of mind as I assumed they where basically the same thing.
As for mood vs emotion, I don't really see the big difference. For the purposes of the debate I think we should stick to emotions rather then moods as happiness is a temporary emotion not a mood.
I suppose the best way to describe the way I see the difference between emotion and state of mind is through yet another analogy. The way I see it, emotions are like the weather, they change often and are hard to predict. Whereas the state of mind is more like the climate, it is mostly constant and changes only due to massive world wide climate events. Money can easily influence an emotion, however it is much harder influence the state of mind. A persons entire outlook on life (which is largely influence by their state of mind) doesn't change because they found a couple bucks. However, their immediate emotional response will change for just a few dollars.
Measuring Happiness.
Sorry, I did misinterpret your statement "You have no means of determining their happiness, so you don't know that money makes them happy (or sad)". I assumed you meant objectively measuring happiness and not measuring their relative emotional state. I agree with you, we cannot objectively measure happiness (or pain), we can simply compare it to others.
Buying A Jar of happiness.
By saying "You cannot go to a store and buy a jar of happiness" I was saying there is no physical manifestation of happiness as it is an emotion. However, you can still pay for emotions. Emotions are a part of purchasing anything. No matter what I buy, I will experience emotions. I can be regretting my purchase or satisfied that I finally got something I wanted, or I can be mad that it cost so much. Not matter what you do you will experience some emotions with it.
If I go to the theatre and pay to watch I movie, what am I buying? I am essentially renting out a seat in a room and paying to experience emotions and gather new memories through a sequence of images shown on a screen. Therefore I am buying the emotional experience. I have just given money in order to get those emotions and memories. If that emotional experience is happiness, then I just bought happiness. I didn't buy any physical thing. I paid to get a chemical reaction in my brain caused by lights that we call memories and emotions.
I fear you missed the last part of my previous argument. "I would like to point out that I'm not saying family, friends, and experiences don't bring happiness, because they do. I'm only saying so can money". This is a HUGE point in my argument. Experiences, family and friends all do bring happiness. I am merely saying so can money. I agree with you on that rich countries aren't always the happiest and that people without money don't need money to be happy. I am arguing that money CAN buy happiness, NOT that nothing else can bring happiness. There is a very big difference between the two.
Thank-you and Good luck.
Many thanks to my opponent for a civil and straightforward debate.
I wish my opponent the best of luck with examinations.
I will skip past most of the beginning parts of your argument, because I'm afraid we got bogged down in the technical aspects of emotions, moods, etc. and while these are important they are not the crux of the debate.
What we are really asking here is whether 'happiness' (as a mood, mental state or emotion) can be purchased. That is, can we conduct a transaction with money to acquire happiness? The only protest I will issue here is that I believe happiness is more along the lines of how you describe a 'state of mind' - that is, NOT temporary and fleeting, but a permanent personality trait. One achieves happiness in one's life, but joy and pleasure and sadness and pain are all temporary and can be felt day-to-day. We aren't here to settle this point of difference, but I think it's important, and I disagree with your assertion that happiness can be classified in the transient category.
I will now explain the crucial part of the debate, and why money cannot buy happiness, using your own analogies.
I'm glad you brought up movies, and we can apply the same to food or cats or the Internet or travel or books or whatever else brings a person pleasure. I want to make these points:
- money is fungible, but those experiences are not - herein lies the stage for our question.
- paying $17 to see a movie vs $17 for a soccer ball will give you different degrees of satiety and pleasure, as well as different types, even though you've spent the same amount of money.
- we can then infer that it is the movie or the soccer ball which brings the pleasure to varying degrees depending on which you prefer, not the money that acquired it.
- we can reverse-check this by extrapolating the data we collected: if there was no money in this transaction, but, say, trading one soccer ball for one movie ticket, the satisfaction of the viewing experience is achieved.
And, of course, the critical point which I must reiterate, your definition:
Buy: exchange money for an object or service.
By definition, happiness cannot be transacted. Happiness cannot be purchased in the sense of a commercial exchange. I recognise that you are not saying that money is the only thing that can buy happiness, or that it always does, but I contend that by definition, money cannot and never does buy happiness.
Best of luck at the polls. I enjoyed the debate.

Firstly, I did NOT call you lame. Secondly, Google the word "lame", notice that it is hyphenated with another word, and try to see if you can work out what was meant in the context.
"How about posting sources and additional arguments in the comments? "
That's exactly what you did. I don't hold it against you, but if you're trying to accuse your opponent of doing that, you're guilty of the same.
rofl, apparently anything you find disagreeable is "lame". Speaks to your judgment sadly.
"and end up actually commenting/casting a tie-vote in a public post on a single element of a debate, consider whether that will harm the value and respect afforded to future votes and comments you cast."
Votes don't have value, that's why I don't vote. I didn't cast a "tie-vote", I would have said so if I did.
I don't hold scoring debates here, and the more you debate here the less you will respect the score. It holds little to no meaning, and what meaning it does hold does not convey what you want it to convey.

I have to give source points to Con, due to being the only debater to use any and because they helped make his argument. The faulty definition of "buy" seriously hurt Pro's argument, and it was unfortunate because the debate might have swung the other way had the definition aligned with Pro's arguments. Con gets some serious impact out of this argument. In fact, this point alone is too much for Pro to recover from. So, arguments to Con. Feel free to PM me if you're not happy with this vote.

LYNDEN (Washington) TRIBUNE

Farmworker's death to be investigated
By Ashley Hiruko
WHATCOM — The Aug. 6 death of a Mexican worker from Sarbanand Farms of Sumas has opened up levels of government investigation into the circumstances of the death including divergent accounts as to exactly what happened.
Honesto Silva Ibarra was a 28-year-old temporary farmworker operating under an H-2A work visa at the Sumas blueberry farm. Co-workers allege that Ibarra was denied needed medical attention by his employer upon becoming ill in a week of hot weather. The farm says it first learned of Ibarra's diabetic condition at noon Aug. 2, immediately called 911 and got Ibarra to a hospital accompanied by his nephew. The sick man was transported to Harborview Medical Center of Seattle, where he died.
At least two agencies, Washington State Labor and Industries and the U.S. Department of Labor, have opened investigations, but those could take months to be completed.
Contrasting claims
Barbaro Rosas Olibares, one of four farmworkers the Lynden Tribune spoke with, claims that working conditions at the farm were poor and that threats were made against the workers.
He and others at the farm protested the treatment of Ibarra as well as these conditions on Friday, Aug. 4. The next day, about 65 farmworkers were fired due to "insubordination" and told to leave the Sarbanand premises within an hour. They camped at a nearby location, "Zapata Camp," on Telegraph Road south of Sumas.
Their temporary H-2A visas, and that of Ibarra, had expired around June 30. Olibares said management claimed to be working on extending the permits, but the lapse meant Ibarra was unable to return home due to an expired visa. Sarbanand counters, saying Ibarra was in no physical condition to fly to Mexico and if he were they would have assisted on a flight.
The chief administrative officer of Sarbarand Farms, Cliff Woolley, gave the company's account of what happened in an email to the Tribune on Aug. 8. In addition to getting Ibarra to medical care, the company also notified his family in Mexico by the time he was "transferred by helicopter" to Harborview, Woolley said. He believes the information he provided the Tribune will eventually be proven correct.
Woolley also said no complaints were made in connection with Ibarra before the Friday strike.
But Community to Community Development, an advocate organization for immigrant rights assisting the Sarbanand farmworkers, finds these claims "outrageous."
"(That) this company feels that they can get away with this publicly makes me think, what kinds of things are going on with this farm that we are not seeing?" said Maru Mora Villalpando, core member of C2C.
Cause of death
The farmworkers released by Sarbanand Farms allege poor working conditions as a factor in Ibarra's death. Woolley says Ibarra died from complications due to diabetes.
A representative of the King County Medical Examiner's Office, where an autopsy would be performed, said Thursday that Ibarra's death was reported to the office, but it does not have jurisdiction to do an autopsy when no suspicious circumstances are involved.
Other media outlets have stated the hospital Ibarra was treated at reported he died of "natural causes," a common description for those who die in medical facilities.
Woolley said Friday that Ibarra's body was on its way back to Mexico.
Investigations begin
The investigations are to ensure that no workers' rights were violated. The effort of the Washington Department of Labor and Industries began on Aug. 9.
Labor and Industries had heard preliminary reports of what was happening at Sarbanand Farms earlier in the Aug. 4-6 weekend, said Tim Church, department spokesman. L&I conferred with other state agencies including the departments of Health and Employment Security and gathered information for a couple of days before deciding.
"[When we] launch these investigations, it opens up our authority to come in and request documents and really wade into this and understand what is going on," Church said.
The department is directing two investigations, one being of safety and health concerns and the other a standard employment investigation. Of the first, Church said, "We're looking into if that was a work-related death and, if so, were there workplace safety violations involved?" The department has up to six months by law to conclude this investigation.
The second investigation, which takes around 90 days, is focused on the treatment of employees on the job and will look into whether the farmworkers were receiving appropriate meals, rest periods and pay, he said.
Munger Farms, a large marketer of nuts and berries in Delano, California, is within the scope of the employment standards probe due to its connection to Sarbanand Farms, Church said. The other investigation, for now, is focused on Sarbanand only.
Leo Kay, of the U.S. Department of Labor, also confirmed Thursday that its Wage and Hour Division has opened an investigation into the Sarbanand situation.
Workers' rights
The H-2A legal worker program has grown dramatically on the West Coast, said Dan Fazio, executive director and CEO of the WAFLA (formerly the Washington Farm Labor Association), which "facilitates a legal and stable workforce for seasonal employers in the Pacific Northwest." He said other farms in Whatcom County besides Sarbanand use H-2A farmworkers, but he would not name them.
"The workers absolutely love the program," Fazio said. "Labor unions don't like the program."
Normally, H-2A contracts have a progressive discipline process, he said, which in most cases provides employees their transportation home if there is a separation or resignation from work.
The H-2A regulation does not require employers to provide transportation home if a worker is terminated for cause.
Woolley said that according to the contracts signed by Sarbanand Farms workers, if they chose to leave and go home early, it would be at their own expense. However, Sarbanand was paying for fired workers' transportation back to Mexico, with some travel cash, he said.
Of the H-2A program, Maru said Community to Community believes it should end and be replaced by one that allows farmworkers to seek different farm employers.
H-2A employees signed onto a contract arranged by one employer are not able to work for another — they can only work for the company that transported them to the U.S., she said. Employees become dependent on their employer and that "creates the perfect conditions to be exploited," she said.
"We believe that the [H-2A program] legalizes slavery," Villalpando said. "We have been against this program for a long time."
The Sarbanand employees who were fired are now trying to return home, she said, and they are thankful for the community's response. "[The farmworkers] keep asking us to tell everyone that they're really thankful for the support."
Other response
Whatcom Family Farmers issued a statement Aug. 10 extending condolences to family and friends on the Ibarra death while also urging media caution in reporting on the farmworkers' situation.
"As farmers we understand how hard this can hit everyone involved," said Brad Rader, berry farmer and president of the group. "Many of our farm employees have been with the same farm and farmer for many years and really become part of the family."
Fred Likkel, executive director, said some reporting on the cause of death has been distressing. "No one knows the cause for certain and we may not know for some time until investigations are complete," Likkel said. "We don't think it is appropriate or even responsible for reporters to repeat accusations that place the blame on the farmer without doing more investigating."

How To Shop For And Use Holiday Toys Safely
During the holidays, millions of people purchase toys for their little ones. Toys are fun but they can also be dangerous if played with by children younger than the recommended ages. Each year, the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission issues some tips for toy safety. Keep these in mind before you go shopping for holiday presents for youngsters.
Step 1: Choose toys that are age-appropriate. Read the packaging to find manufacturer-recommended ages for use. Use this, rather than the child's desire for the toy, to determine if the item is appropriate.
Step 2: When purchasing ride-on toys or sports-style gifts, also buy the safety gear. Purchase helmets and pads to go with products like scooters, skates, and bicycles.
Step 3: When children are playing with their new toys, be aware of the surroundings. Ride-on toys should not be used near a body of water, traffic, or hazardous terrain. When playing inside, children should avoid areas like bathrooms and kitchens. They should also not play near rooms that have corded window blinds.
Step 4: Consider that toys like skates, skateboards, and riding toys go fast and a fall can be fatal.
Step 5: If purchasing a gift for a child under age three, do not buy toys containing balls or small parts that can cause choking.
Step 6: Broken or deflated balloons can cause children to suffocate or choke. If a balloon breaks, discard it. Deflated balloons should be kept away from children younger than eight.
Step 7: Children younger than six should not have play or building sets that contain small magnets. Swallowing either the magnet or a piece containing a magnet can result in serious injuries or death.
Step 8: After the gifts have been opened, discard the packaging before children can begin playing with it.
Step 9: If batteries must be charged, supervise the process to eliminate overcharging and prevent young children from getting thermal burns.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Neumann University
Architects spend much of their time in offices, where they develop plans, meet with prospective clients, and consult with engineers and other architects. They also visit construction sites to prepare initial drawings and review the progress of projects to ensure that clients are satisfied. About 1 in 5 architects were self-employed as of 2017, and the average salary for architects was $76,100 annually.
There are typically three main steps to becoming a licensed architect: completing a professional degree in architecture, gaining relevant experience through a paid internship, and passing the Architect Registration Examination. A typical bachelor's degree program includes courses in architectural history, building design using computer-aided design and drafting software (CADD), structural engineering, construction methods, and professional practices. The design studio is a central component of most architectural programs, where students apply the skills and concepts learned in the classroom to create drawings and three-dimensional models of their work. Beyond major requirements within the architectural engineering department, you may consider SUNY Jefferson Community College recording technology as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Oscar Wilde once offered a valuable insight about the way we live our lives when he said that "Life is too important to be taken seriously" I don't think he meant you don't have to take your responsibility, promises, work, etc. He didn't mean that it's OK to live life with no integrity. I think he meant that the quality of our life suffers when we approach everything in a serious manner. We are not longer vivid, cheerful and spontaneous as when we were kids when we take everything so seriously.
I think the key here is to take your work and your duties seriously, but take yourself lightly in the process. Otherwise, you will lose many benefits that a cheerful attitude and humor can offer.
There's a liberating quality that most people experience when they get to the point that they can laugh at themselves. We get so caught up in our anxieties, embarrassments, frustrations and upsets that we carry them around with us throughout the day. But when we find a way to laugh at them, they lose their emotional grip on us and retreat into the background. We feel at peace with the incident, even though it was very embarrassing at that moment.

It's a nasal spray of Immitrex and once I used one that was expired by 6 months. Pretty much the worst head pain I've ever felt. One I don't really pay any mind to is canned vegetables. -Emt1581

(This is a post from a follower's point of view and these are my opinions. Its subjective, People with disagreement can comment and I will be happy to read, understand and reply to it 🙂 )
- I was thinking what the urgent press for having such a post was? Well, I was driving 15 kms to and 15 kms fro to watch the World Cup and through wee hours and pitch darkness and through the traffic congestion which I would on any cost otherwise avoid. I have taken pains to watch this world cup. I have done that before for football and I will do it any day.
- I have sat in my office meeting with eyes about to close due to the fatigue and sleeplessness. Sitting next to the manager with drowsy eyes and attending an important meeting can put an end to my job.
- I have received more than 500 messages on the day Brasil lost, just funny meme's and jokes; slaughter it was from all the side. (which is quite a fun as I do the same and I take it in a creative way)
- I am going to write what I felt about the overall Brasilian team in the current year WC. Having seen Brasil play more than 12-14 years, to see them lose this bad was a bit hard for me. I am not a follower of Brasilian team because mmm….let's say I like Schumacher cos he wins always. Naa..none of that. I have grown up watching Brasil play and I have always supported them right from my childhood. So I was, am and will continue to be a Brasil fan.
My view point
- The first game against Croatia screamed about the quality of Brasilian team. Trust me, I sadly knew it then they are not winning the World cup.
- Scolari is an amazing coach. Who else could take a bunch of new kids and push them up till Semi-finals. I have no doubt about that, but come on; you can't underestimate the other teams and put up an inexperienced team like this for them to score easy winners.
- The year 2002 took Brasilian team to victory, under Scolari's management. Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Roberto Carlos, Cafu etc were more than enough. Anyone could just stand there and tell them to play their game and still they would have won the WC hands down.
Now my certain observations regarding Brasilian national team hoping that this would help them do well in the future, as a person who admires them I always want them to get better and play creative football like before.
- As a coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari has lost. This defeat is not of the team or the players; it rightly belongs to the coach. No doubt he is one of the best, but this time you didn't do your research, Sir. You picked inexperience instead of seasoned players and boasted in the media that inexperience doesn't matter. A thing proved wrong by time. Nothing beats talent and experience.
- As from my early days I have heard that midfield is the deciding factor mostly for any team. Did Brasil have a commanding midfield play? No.
- Having some ammunition's in the pocket and still not firing them is bad and really sad. I don't say include the experienced in the main team, but at least the squad? Pato, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Kaka, Coutinho……none of them, you are joking right. May be they could have won or maybe not, but the game would have been a pleasure to watch with some beautiful dribbling, skills and the margin of defeat would have reduced considerably for sure.
- Neymar is definitely good, but he succumbs to pressure and I wouldn't blame him. At this young age, playing for national team in the world cup is a different thing altogether. So how do you expect Neymar to win the world cup alone? He is an over-rated player, as far as I see. He is definitely good, but he is over-rated like inflation in India.
- Brasil has never been a defensive team. They always play attacking football. They split open the opposition defense with through balls and individual runs, dribbles and skills. That is what I term typical Latin American creative football. Brasilian team leaves a couple of strong defenders behind; the other 8 players are in the opposition half most of the time. This time what went wrong is their inability to attack and split German defense due to lack of quality players. All they did was dive.
My humble suggestions would be
- Please don't underestimate the other teams, all the teams that played against Brasil gave them tuff time.
- Mix new players with the seasoned talented players. Let them learn from the experienced one's.
- Keep aside ego, politics and differences, pick the best team. Keep a good back up always, you never know how much sooner or later you might need it.
- A thing that hurt me the most was Ronaldinho being avoided from the squad. He is a legend. None of the players in Brasilian squad matched him or his unbeaten talent. I hope he is there for the next world cup squad if he hasn't retired,at least. What a mistake and a shame!
- Last but not the least, never have a team with one star player and people going crazy behind him. If he fails the team fails.
All in all, it was a game which Germans deserved to win and by this margin or more due to lack of quality that Brasilian players exhibited. I hope rather than getting demotivated, they come up strong and play better football and shame the critics. Let the people say what they have to but my favorite team is undoubtedly the world's best and the most creative side ever.
All the best guys for the next match, third place awaits you 🙂 Vamos la' Brasil…
PS : Couple of words to the people of my country who has never seen a football pitch and who sit back and make all this bullshit, it's really tuff to go out there and play 90 mins. You guys seriously seem to have a serious problem. It takes special talent to even control that puny ball, run around for 90 minutes and play football. I have written this post cos I used to be a footballer myself in the past and I have cracked under pressure playing for a club match at 16, and every competition I played. I know what being total blank in the field is and how it feels! There is nothing shameful than sitting back and taking a dig at somebody without knowing what it actually means to be out there. Even the Sharapova incident… Lol on our country men. You don't know a heck about sports. You guys say Brasil got raped by Germans, I say Germans displayed talent to win the match. How can winning the match be raping? Rape is for the weak, lets save that for our countrymen, please. I don't buy any of your comments, save it for the weak who would want to stop following Brasil after that match. I would cheer for Brasil till my country, India shows up in the world cup. Until then it's you Brasil, you have my heart and my wishes 🙂

I got a bump up in pageviews on one Hub today and saw that it was traffic sent by "search dot conduit dot com." I had never heard of that, but when I investigated, I saw that it is operated by Google. Can anyone tell me what it is and whether any emotional response would be appropriate? Is this something that should make a Hubber happy, uncertain, worried? As I said, I had never heard of it and am simply interested in knowing more.
I believe conduit.com let you make your own browser toolbars, didn't know it was owned by Google though. So presumably you are getting found via this toolbar.
If anyone has more information I would also be interested in finding out a little more.
Did not read it but here is their website http://www.conduit.com/AboutUs/Default.aspx
I thought I knew what they did, however after reading their about us page I haven't the foggiest idea what they do! A great example of how not to create an about us page.
your comment prompted me to read it also.
It's all very clear, the writer of that "About Us" page is very proud of his vocabulary of industry buzz-words. His effort was so successful I was able to read the whole page without reaching for the back-arrow. (or desire to know more about conduit.com)
That's how I felt too. I couldn't see why, if I created a "community toolbar", anyone would ever want to use it. And as for apps, I don't even understand what they are if they're not on a phone.
I came to the conclusion they're aiming at internet gurus who already know what they're talking about, not at the likes of us.
exactly is allows us to make tool bar with more flexibility and also we can monetize that toolbar. Well, i've tried one and i really was amazed to see that many companies are using this toolbar for free.
Well you too can try it out
Thanks, all, for the replies. Ohma, thanks for the link!
Peter, I reacted as you did. I read their info, but I still have no clue as to what they do. It looked like (but I couldn't tell whether) they are a Google-operated site like shetoldme and others.
Askpowers, how does one monetize a toolbar? What exactly does that mean? (You need to understand that I am extremely new to the whole monetization process.)
I got an invitation to become an affiliate for them. Like you, I struggle to understand the concept.
The idea is that they allow you to create a toolbar which promotes your website. I assume you then promote your toolbar to site visitors.
Okay, I just went and watched their video. I'm so slow at this, I don't think I can explain what I just heard, but it's sort of starting to make sense to me.
It's a way of getting the word out about your website or product (perhaps a bit like stumbleupon? - but I have only heard of that too, so I'm totally guessing), and it also provides a way to create your own apps, which I believe others can get from conduit; and yes, the build-your-own-toolbar option is there. It sounds like it's trying to be as user-friendly as HP is, but with a different slant.
My brain is tired from trying to understand it, so I'll stop here, other than to say that I had too many tabs open when I watched the video, and it stuttered a bit, but I could hear the audio smoothly when I minimized the window.
I created a toolbar, and it had my pligg website and pligg info as a button. They banned it from the marketplace. It is a handy toolbar and I still use it, but I find these guys are in the dark ages, proprietary fuddy duddies if you will.
They want to to create something but it can't be a hair controversial or promote another search engine even though Pligg doesn't do that. I think they are a weird group of people.
Greetings from Conduit & thanks for your feedback! Came across your discussion and wanted to offer some answers –
Conduit is a technology company. We help anyone with content on the web connect with their users.
We have over 220,000 customers, and over 100 million users worldwide have Conduit-powered products installed in their browsers.
What we do – As a customer, the Conduit Platform allows you to create both stand-alone apps (think "iphone-like" but specifically for the browser) and branded community toolbars (offering a collection of apps all in one place in the browser).
This means that if a user has your app or community toolbar installed, they're still connected with you even when they're not directly on your website (for example, you can listen to a NY Yankee's game on their branded toolbar, while you're on another website, or be notified of a new Read Write Web blog post (from their app) while you're on some other site, etc.)
The technology is safe (certified by TRUSTe), and is being used by major brands such as TechCrunch, MLB, Travelocity, and others worldwide.
The beauty of it –
1. It's your brand on your users' browsers. Your logo, your content, your relationship. You own the app and the community toolbar you build (we just offer the technology to power it)
2. You build it once and it's compatible with all 4 browsers (IE, FF, safari for mac and chrome). No maintenance required (we keep it up to date)
3. For the less-tech savvy out there, the wizard in the control panel is extremely user friendly, no programming skills required. For the advanced users – our APIs allow endless opportunities.
4. Advanced analytics are built in and easy to read. You're able to understand how your users are interacting with your brand, and what you can do to enhance that experience.
5. Using the platform is free, and there are even a couple of opportunities to monetize the relationship (a PPI-based rewards program, monetized apps, affiliate program, etc)
6. In addition to access to your existing community, you can leverage the power of the network (those 100 million users, and 220,000 fellow publishers) to expand the reach of your brand via the Conduit App Marketplace (apps.conduit.com).
There's more, and I'm happy to share if anyone has additional questions….
Aficionada – Conduit-powered community toolbars include a Google-powered search box. It can easily be customized to include community searches, etc., and that's probably generating the increase in traffic to your site.
when i open my brower it starts now with conduit.com etc etc. and my browere tends to quit more than it used to. How can I just start with Google not conduit.com?
Shari, welcome. I think you should give some thought to commissioning a usability study of your site. Sorry, I do wish my first comment to you was more flattering.
It is a service that allows you to make your own toolbars that can be distributed. You can make money off of it if you use it right. However, I don't see much use for it with hubpages alone. I use it, but I also do stuff outside of hubpages.
yep, it gives u the opportunity to create a toolbar or sth else like apps. it's alright but i do have some technical probs with it sometimes. i have however recently tried clubfinity.com 's toolbar and it works better, at least for me. it also is free

1. Apple iPad 2
The iPad remains the king of the category and, even with the invasion of an army of challengers, it's difficult to see a scenario in which the iPad won't retain a commanding market share lead when we get to the end of 2011. It still has too many factors in its favor: usability, battery life, a massive catalog of apps, and price. The last factor might be the most important. In 2010, price was the iPad's greatest marketing weapon as rivals had a very hard time meeting the iPad's price tag while offering a comparable experience. The iPad 2 doesn't offer any revolutionary new changes. It's thinner and lighter, has an upgraded processor and display, and adds front and rear cameras. It's a nice refinement, and with its big advantages in app and content libraries, it easily has enough value to keep it at the top of the list. Read full review.

Managing would be easy if it wasn't for all that people development and consensus-building stuff.
And then there are all the legal pitfalls waiting to ruin your day – or maybe ruin the business.
So it's safe to say that if managing really were all that easy, everybody would be doing it.
But they're not.
A capable manager is a good tactician, always looking ahead three or four moves. Good managers know the processes inside-out and understand what it takes to make sure things get done.
But knowing how to do the job is only half the job when it comes to managing. Getting people inspired to want to do the work — and do it well day after day — is the other half. The hard half.
But with practice and training, it is very achievable.
Here at ManageElite, we believe that every manager has the best opportunity to excel when he or she consistently works to improve on four essential people-skill areas, and has a solid understanding of three critical employment law areas.
7 fundamentals managers need
If you are a business owner, executive or trainer who is searching for a reliable way to make your managers even more effective, here are links to valuable articles discussing the seven fundamentals of management and why every manager should train on these.
1.Handling difficult conversations: If you're not ready to face off with people and make it clear about what you need, your not ready for prime-time management.
2. Motivating employees: People need to regularly be reminded that the work they do matters, and that they matter, too!
3. Employee performance reviews: Evaluations are excellent tools managers can use to encourage great work in the months ahead.
4. Interview tips: Building a great staff starts with a reliable hiring process, and nothing is more critical than the face to face interviews.
5. Workplace discrimination: As a manager, you are far more likely to stumble into workplace bias problem than to end up with one from some intentional action.
6. Avoiding retaliation claims: Retaliation claims are now the single most common complaint filed against managers with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Here's why.
7. Harassment training: By far the most misunderstood illegal workplace activity is harassment. For managers, the key is prevention.
