Giving counselling to Brexit losers is cringe-inducing
Brexit doesn't just mean Brexit. Brexit now also means potential Brex-down, at least if news from a couple of the nation's universities this week is to be believed.
It's reported that academic staff in Nottingham and Leeds are currently being offered counselling to help them deal with Brexit-induced distress.
Nottingham University is said to be holding wellbeing workshops to help those poor souls needing to "enhance skills for resilience" in response to the Brexit result.
At Leeds University the counselling service there has reportedly even produced a guide to help workers deal with "the change and uncertainty" the vote may have triggered.
They make Brexit sound like the menopause.
This guide, apparently, advises that those affected could find themselves dealing with symptoms of grief including shock, anger and denial. And even depression.
Not to mention, presumably, concern about the knock-on effect to Marmite price and Toblerone segment size.
Brex-iety is what they are talking about. The direct opposite of EU-phoria.
Now, I don't doubt that there are some people who took the Brexit result very badly, indeed, on a personal level.
David Cameron, Zac Goldsmith, Eddie Izzard, Dame Vivienne Westwood.
Jade from Little Mix.
And not all the losers were on the Remain side either.
You can see how the likes of Michael Gove might also still be suffering a degree of post-Brexit stress syndrome.
Gove lost his job and emerged from the campaign as the Brutus to Boris.
But you would expect that academics - those charged with sharing knowledge and ideas with their students, with opening their minds to different viewpoints and encouraging them to debate and ponder opposing outlook - might be able to take the result of a democratic vote in their stride.
And not require the sort of counselling offered to hysterical One Directioners when Zayn announced he was quitting.
Where does this end?
Will the counselling services next be offering techniques to help us cope with Trump-xiety?
Although, that said...
Watching footage of President Obama do the countdown, the other evening, for the annual switch-on of Christmas tree lights, it did strike me that, in future, when it comes Mr Trump's turn to do the five, four, three, two, one thing, we'll all juke when he hits the button.
Just in case he's got the wrong one...
But full-scale Brex-iety? Let's be honest. Does that not just come down to being a sore loser?
I say this as a Remainer. But even as a Remainer, I believe that we need to accept democratic decisions (as most people do).
Yes, we might feel we need to work to lessen the impact of outcomes we don't like.
But that doesn't mean having a childish tantrum/meltdown just because things don't go our way.
In terms of counselling, there are people with real psychological problems who genuinely do need help.
But promoting poll disappointment as being on a par with, say, depression and grief belittles real suffering.
Much of the whinging and gurning that followed both the Brexit vote and the Trump result has been utterly cringe-inducing.
All those luvvies who thought that their view was more important than everybody else's, tweeting their distress.
Those starlets waving their hands at red carpet events with Love Trumps Hate sanctimoniously felt-tipped on their palms.
For the record, in the real world, dearie, hate, sadly, all too often Trumps love.
Then again, to be realistic, throwing a bit of a diva strop is not something we would see as new, in terms of the what we expect from Tinseltown.
We rightly expect more robust reasoning however, from, and within, our universities. Not this currently fashionable and pathetic pandering to petulance.
If you want real grief and real shock in the headlines, a couple of words...
Aleppo, Mosul.
Brexit, honestly, just doesn't come close.
One of those Brexit-obsessed, uni-counselling guides advises academics of the dangers of "news addiction."
"If you receive a lot of news shocks," it warns, "your body is likely to experience fear."
Can you imagine what poor Kay Burley has to deal with then?
All this is both laughable and contemptible.
I know so many people who work in academia. And this sort of patronising pap totally demeans them and the brilliant job they do.
But they really do need to speak out, forcefully and loudly, against all this silly cotton-woolling guff.
Brexit may well be the end of Europe.
It is not the end of the world.

This marks the fourth time that the USC middle schools have earned this honor – a feat accomplished by only two other Pennsylvania schools. Boyce and Fort Couch first earned Schools to Watch honors in 2008. The schools were re-designated as Schools To Watch in 2011, 2014 and 2017.
Schools to Watch selection is based on a written application that requires schools to show how they meet criteria developed by the National Forum. Schools that appear to meet the criteria are then visited by state teams, which observe classrooms; interview administrators, teachers, students and parents; and look at achievement data, suspension rates, quality of lessons and student work.Fort Couch named among the Best Middle Schools in the nationIn 2014, TheBestSchools.org ranked Fort Couch Middle School as No. 14 among the 50 best middle schools in the country, the only Pennsylvania school receiving this designation.
Schools are evaluated based on several weighted factors, including academic excellence, NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores, state assessment scores, received awards and rankings, geographical diversity, and reputation. TheBestSchools.org is a leading resource for prospective students seeking a college or university degree.
Student Leadership Academies Receive National Award
Upper St. Clair was selected as a first place winner in the 2013 Magna Awards Program, sponsored by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) American School Board Journal (ASBJ).
The School District was honored in the under 5,000 enrollment category for its Student Leadership Academy, which helps students understand how they can change the world through their leadership. The academy develops the leadership skills of students in grades four through 12. Each student develops a personal leadership plan and writes goals. High school students also create an organizational plan, which identifies a globally focused, service-oriented project. Academy students have shown marked improvement in personal goals attainment, leadership development, and an increased sense of responsibility to the global society.
The Magna Awards recognize districts across the country for outstanding programs that advance student learning and encourage community involvement in schools. USC was one of 15 schools to receive a first place award. ASBJ initiated the Magna Awards in 1995 to recognize school boards for taking bold and innovative steps to improve their educational programs. An independent panel of school board members, administrators, and other educators selected the winners from nearly 300 submissions.

VATICAN CITY — A handful of Vatican officials and even a cardinal have recently voiced opinions that appear to be supportive of civil unions between people of the same sex, despite the Church's teaching being clearly against homosexuality and cohabitation/pre-marital sexual relations.
The majority of statements have been quickly repudiated by the archbishops in question, who have argued that their comments have been misinterpreted, but the Church's opponents have capitalized on the confusion.
On April 8, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the archbishop of Vienna, reportedly told an audience in London that same-sex relationships should be respected and recognized in law.
"There can be same-sex partnerships, and they need respect and even civil-law protection," he was reported as saying. But he asked that it be kept "away from the notion of marriage" because the definition of marriage "is the stable union between a man and a woman open to life."
The cardinal's office later stressed he was not in any way endorsing homosexual civil unions. "The cardinal sees the need to give thought to the question of pastoral care for people living in irregular situations — to truly apply, not to rethink, what the Church has to say about a life in Christ," his spokesman, Michael Prueller, told the Register May 15.
At a Vatican press conference in February, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Council for the Family, called for "greater efforts to ensure legal protection and inheritance rights for people who are living together but not married," and he said that "legal means must be found to guarantee rights and regulate inheritance."
"But do not call it marriage," the archbishop said, according to a CNS article.
He said if a country "outlawed homosexuality, I would work to overturn it," adding that he believed there are still "20 or 25 countries that define homosexuality as a crime."
Archbishop Paglia later said he was surprised by reports saying he was supportive of civil unions for homosexual couples, adding that his comments were "derailed." He argued that he was calling for individual rights to be protected using existing legal systems and not giving "approval of certain possibilities."
However, by that time, the misinterpretation had been widely circulated, and same-sex rights groups exploited the confusion to their own advantage.
In 2011, Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster, England, told reporters at a press conference that civil partnerships, the U.K. name for civil unions, "actually provide a structure in which people of the same sex who want a lifelong relationship [and] a lifelong partnership can find their place and protection and legal provision." But like Cardinal Schönborn, he stressed that that is not the same as marriage and insisted it was not for the state to change the institution of marriage.
More recently, Archbishop Piero Marini, who served for 18 years as Pope John Paul II's liturgical master of ceremonies, said in a published report that the Church should recognize civil unions for people of the same sex.
Arguing that the Church and state should not be enemies of one another, he said: "In these discussions, it's necessary, for instance, to recognize the union of persons of the same sex, because there are many couples that suffer because their civil rights aren't recognized. What can't be recognized is that this [union] is equivalent to marriage."
Swiss theologian Father Martin Rhonheimer stated last month, in an interview with Catholic News Agency, that same-sex unions and those who promote them discriminate against married heterosexual couples.
"Besides containing an erroneous moral message," said Father Rhonheimer, who teaches political philosophy and ethics at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome, "it actually means to objectively discriminate against married people, who intentionally have engaged in a union ordered towards the task of the transmission of human life, accepting all the burdens and responsibilities of this task."
"Conferring legal equality to same-sex unions signifies to publicly establish, in the law system, the principle of dissociation of sexuality and procreation," he added.
When he was archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio appeared to favor civil unions as a kind of lesser of two evils. However, a confidant had said he would never have supported civil unions for homosexual couples: "He certainly would have referred to unions of convenience, but not that anything be legalized," said Miguel Woites, a personal friend of the Pope. He was fiercely opposed to same-sex "marriage" legislation and has not spoken on the issue of civil unions as Pope.
The Vatican declined to comment on the issue when contacted by the Register.
Church Teaching
The Church's teaching on civil unions for homosexual couples is clear.
In a 2003 document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith entitled "Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions Between Homosexual Persons," the Vatican said, "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil."
The document, authored by the future Pope Benedict XVI, prefect Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, added: "In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty."
The Vatican further stressed that "one must refrain from any kind of formal cooperation in the enactment or application of such gravely unjust laws and, as far as possible, from material cooperation on the level of their application. In this area, everyone can exercise the right to conscientious objection."
In an address in 2006, Benedict XVI said: "It is a serious error to obscure the value and roles of the legitimate family founded on marriage by attributing legal recognition to other improper forms of union for which there is really no effective social need."
In comments to the Register, Father Antonio Porras, professor of moral theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome, stressed that the comments favoring civil unions by a few Church leaders are opinions and can't be placed "on the same level as a note from the CDF."
He referred to Familiaris Consortio, Blessed John Paul II's 1981 apostolic exhortation on the role of the family in the modern world, which examined the different contexts of civil unions, but only considered those between a man and a woman. The document argues there is not a unique response within the truth about marriage and family.
Church leaders with a high level of responsibility need to be "more prudent" in their statements, Father Porras said. He added that the Church must be sensitive to the concerns of homosexuals, as she has concern for all people (he referred to the CDF's 1986 "Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons"). But he stressed that such concern "doesn't mean to call good what is evil and what harms them."
"The Church's concern for them is shown by the way she realizes the difficulties they face in their Christian lives and helps them to live their circumstances in the life of Christ," he said. The Church's mission is to bring the means of salvation through Christ to all people, he added, and that is why "she calls attention to those behaviors that cannot be compatible with a Christian life."
"But all this doesn't mean that the Church close her doors to people who commit these sins," he continued. "The pastoral activity of the Church is to try to help people avoid all the circumstances that separate them from the life Christ gained for us on the cross."
Catholic politicians defending traditional marriage on the frontline of European politics have been disheartened by the bishops' remarks.
Luca Volontè, president of the European Peoples' Party in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly, told that Register he didn't want his comments to be inferred as a criticism of any particular Church figure, but he said he had "no idea why certain personalities within the Church make contributions to the current debate on the family that can at best be described as 'unhelpful.'"
Volontè, who is also chairman of the Rome-based Dignitatis Humanae Institute, added: "It is already difficult enough to hold an international coalition together to support the traditional family without these interventions from figures of authority that give every impression of speaking in the name of the Catholic Church. The fate of Christian Europe rises or falls with the strength of the traditional family — our ideological enemies know this very well — and that's why they are repeatedly attacking it. With this in mind, now is not the moment for self-inflicted defeats."
Asked how the Church could remain sensitive to people with same-sex attraction while upholding Church teaching on this issue, Father Porras said it's important to know what the proponents of same-sex unions propose and what they mean by "marriage." He would like to have them answer questions such as: "What is marriage? Why is it necessary? Why put limits on it? What are we protecting with rules about human love?"
In the context of their answers to these questions, it could then be explained why the Church has a coherent doctrine on marriage and why the truth of marriage can't be changed because it preserves the rights and duties of spouses and their possible children and is geared towards their fulfillment and the good of society.
This is especially urgent as it becomes increasingly clear from recent interviews and statements that many homosexual activists are not interested in preserving marriage and the family, but, rather, focused on destroying them.
Said Father Rhonheimer, "Any attempt of proving the equality, in social and political terms, of heterosexual and homosexual unions is vain, simply because homosexual unions are by their very nature non-procreative."

When in doubt or there is scandalous confusion - - -
Stick to the teachings in Holy SCRIPTURE: Gen 19:1-29; Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:9-10; 1 Tim 1:9-10.
Stick to teachings in the "CATECHISM of the Catholic Church, Second Edition": #2357, 2358, 2359, 2396.
On the Vatican web site read: "LETTER to the BISHOPS of the CATHOLIC CHURCH
on the PASTORAL CARE of HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS".
Deviations are scandalous, heretical and schismatic.

" In this Year of Faith let us ask ourselves if we have actually taken a few steps to get to know Christ and the truths of faith more, by reading and meditating on the Scriptures, studying the Catechism, steadily approaching the Sacraments. " – Pope Francis 5/13/2013

(In the USA there is no need for the approval of homosexual (sodomy) marriage.
Anyone can purchase property with whomever they choose, name any beneficiary they choose, give power of attorney for health care or finances with whomever they choose, etc.)
I think Pope Benedict's statement sums it up pretty well: "It is a serious error to obscure the value and roles of the legitimate family founded on marriage by attributing legal recognition to other improper forms of union for which there is really no effective social need."
I have one basic question-why is the Roman Catholic church hell bent on attacking people with same gender attraction? The fixation of this newspaper and catholic prelates about issues related to gay people astounds me. Leave them be. Give gay people their constitutional rights in civil law. I can't believe the gay community cares much for the Roman Church and I can understand why. What I do not understand is the fixation conservative Catholics have with gay people. Worry more about your own salvation and less about others.
same-sex unions provide NO benefit to society. there is no reason for governments to encourage or regulate same-sex unions.
We should heed the Bible verse…"Judge not,lest ye be judged"
Didn't Cardinal Schönborn overrule one of his priests and allow a male homosexual a place on a parish board not too long ago? Doesn't it seem this action supports the "misinterpreted" comments he was quoted giving?
"The cardinal sees the need to give thought to the question of pastoral care for people living in irregular situations — to truly apply, not to rethink, what the Church has to say about a life in Christ," his spokesman said. The political wordsmithing is not very becoming. Simply say, don't do it - it is a Sin that Cries to Heaven for Vengeance.
It seems clear that so many of the clergy are more concerned with being inclusive and being nice, than to call it like it is.
How we treat a thing says much more about what we consider it to be than the name we give it. Many well-meaning Catholics have fallen into the trap of thinking that they can protect marriage by accepting government recognition of same-sex unions that grants them the same rights and privileges afforded married couples, as long as such unions are given a different name. Nothing could be further from the truth, since the result is truly a distinction without a difference.
Protecting marriage requires opposing any efforts to consider same-sex unions equal to the marriage of a man and a woman, in either name or treatment.
I may be missing something but after these prelates said what is reported they said their "corrections" do not really suffice. I find it all troubling and very confusing.

'I was scared stiff': Mum finds erection-bite spiders all over her bananas
A HORRIFIED mum has relived the moment she found venomous spiders whose bite can give a man a four-hour erection in her bananas.
The rare creepy crawlies were spotted by Maria Layton, 43, after she'd bought the fruit from Tesco.
The Costa Rican-grown bananas were infested with eggs from the Brazilian Wandering Spider – the most deadly in the world.
"I was so scared – I don't like spiders at the best of times"Maria Layton
If it injects enough venom the spider can kill a human within two hours.
However a normal bite can give a man an erection for four hours. This can later lead to impotence.
Maria noticed the cocoon of spider eggs when she opened the bag for her six-year-old daughter Siri. As she opened the bag they began to hatch.
She said: "Siri asked for a banana. The first banana had a funny bit on it so I got another one for her – and that was when I found the massive spider cocoon.
"I was so scared – I don't like spiders at the best of times.
"The cocoon started to unfurl so I put it in a sealed box and put it in the freezer as I read that that is supposed to kill them."
Maria called Tesco for assistance – but was shocked when they told her to bring the packet back to them for a refund, deadly spiders and all.
"I posted the picture on Tesco's Facebook page and they told me to send the wrapper in so they could get the bar-code to refund me.
"I was shocked. They failed to see the potential threat to me and my family and thought I was only interested in having a pound or so back."
A Tesco spokesperson said: "Our policy is for the customer to take the product to the store where it can be investigated.
"We don't have a service whereby someone can go out to the home."
Meanwhile researchers are studying the Brazilian Wandering Spider's venom for potential use… in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Picture This…
You are part of a team that exceeded their targets. You're proud of your contribution and your ability to work with well with others. You know without a shred of doubt that you carried a significant share of the workload. For many employees, it is enough to know that you contributed to the collective outcome and helped everyone get a performance bonus.
One director outlined how her team increased their revenues by 22%. When asked what that is in dollars, she said, "I don't know, give me a calculator." Her face registered surprise when she realized it was $4.5 million dollars.
Have you ever examined your actions to see what specifically and how specifically your contribution moved things along? Daily we hear stories where a customer company closes the door to a long term supplier. If you had a relationship that enabled your firm to get back into a quoting position and your team won the business, what's the value to the overall results? You're pleased you helped regain the business, but can you quantify the value of the connection you caused to happen?
What if your realization that a casual connection you had to a key influencer, was an opportunity? You brought this to your leader's attention, and a small group strategized about next steps. As a result of your relationship reopening the door, your firm regained the business. It can seem like a small step yet it had a huge impact.
If that door hadn't opened, what would have been the consequences to your team?
How do you determine your contribution? The best way is to look at the journey this deal travelled and identify the key intersections where the project advanced. Think of planning meetings where the desired next steps were discussed. Did your efforts in any way contribute to those being achieved?
So often the credit goes to the person who negotiated the deal yet there are many steps required before your firm's negotiator gets to sit across from the buyers.
In lean organizations, there are opportunities for a crucial action to turn the tide. It is common to focus on the 'we'; however, you need to dive deeper into the details to determine your contribution and consider the 'I.' It can be simple or profound, what matters most is that it keeps the business moving.
When you are aware of senior management mindsets and what concerns them most, you can offer perspectives, connections or actions that bring value. When you can identify the steps and crucial intersections in the journey, your input at meetings will be respected and influence outcomes.
Is it egotistical to quantify your contribution? Not at all, however you may need to get used to the idea of defining where the credit belongs. You have probably worked in an organization where others took credit for your efforts, or people missed the 'real intersection' that turned things around.
It is great to get appreciation and recognition from your co-workers. However, this demanding pace is here to stay. Wouldn't it be more valuable to identify what is personally helping you to make a difference?
Quantifying your contribution will affect the way you present your ideas, position your thoughts, ask questions and influence others thinking. When you know why you are competent, it is evident in how you position what you say. Positioning is much more effective than bragging.
Confidence comes with competence, and competence builds from contribution. Why not put a value to your contribution efforts? Here's a process to get you thinking about your contribution. Examine results that stand out for you and reflect on the journey that was taken to get there:
- What specifically did you do?
- How specifically did you contribute?
- What was the value, tangible or intangible, that kept the business moving?
- Were your efforts noticed or ignored?
- Did others comment openly in meetings or behind the scenes?
- Did anyone ever share privately, that you should have received credit?
- What can you learn from this situation?
- What will you do differently next time?
Would quantifying your contribution enhance your reputation in any way?

Bowie Served Up a Posthumous Lullaby
And the video for it is strangely comforting.
Quietly over the weekend—so quietly you may have missed it—a new video was released for David Bowie's "No Plan," one of his final recordings before his death a year ago today. Shot by Tom Hingston, the video shows TVs in the window of an electronics shop glow with fuzzy, grainy images. As the video progresses, more and more pedestrians stop to watch as shots of flying birds, the New York skyline, hovering balloons, and the Earth seen from space float across the screens. It's hard not to watch and wonder, what message is Bowie sending us from the ether?
Well, none, of course. But it is comforting, in a way, to see a Bowie video that is characteristically enigmatic. "Here is my place," the TV screens read in glitching script—and also, "Just out of view," "My moods," "Nothing to regret." Hingston lets these phrases hang in front of viewers without context: lovely, haunting Bowie poetry that's as surreal as ever.

While waiting for them to return, Miuna hears the sound once more and is guided to the sea children's old school, where he sees glimpses of how Hikari and the others' days there used to be. Soon after, Uroko appears before her, questioning the girl if looking for Manaka is what she truly wants, disappearing after Kaname and Hikari appear looking for her. Miuna then hears the sound again and they follow it to a secret, unknown trench where all the previous Ojoshis are deposited, where they find Manaka, who is still asleep. However, Miuna realizes that the sound is coming from Manaka's Ena, which is coming off, putting her life at risk, and Hikari decides to take her to the surface. The whole place colapses as the three leave Shioshishio taking the unconscious Manaka with them.

Jim Power: Why Euro 2012 qualification will put €100m in the back of the net
FOR those of us old enough to remember, the exploits of the Irish soccer team in Euro '88, Italia '90, USA '94 and Japan/Korea '02 stand out as very exciting times for Ireland. During those tournaments the spirit of the nation was lifted and there was an outpouring of support for the various teams, and we partied with gusto.
Given what the Irish nation has been put through over the past three years and the budgetary pain to come over the next three years at least, we could do with some good news and thankfully we got some this week. We can now look forward to the tournament in Poland and the Ukraine next June and it can only give a lift to the nation for two or three weeks that we will be involved. The Irish as a race are very interested in sport and will lend our support to all sporting creeds.
The economic benefits that will flow from participation in the finals can only be positive. The tournament is on at the right time of the year as we move into the summer, and the games will be on at optimal times that will suit those who want to go out to the pub or club to watch the games.

And in Paris we will be – this time next week.
We may be dazed by jet-lag but the energy and beauty of Paris will still be intoxicating.
Neil is a "Paris Virgin" and I can't wait to show him why I am so in love with this enchanting city.
Our plan is to be out and about, photographing and being dazzled by the history and the beauty that surrounds us. Being the end of winter, the trees will mostly be bare – giving us a clear view of the incredible detail on the architecture and as much warmth as possible from the sun.
We have made plans to meet up with one of my treasured FaceBook friends, Ann Jeanne.
Ann is a very talented photographer and writer. She loves her city and shares her encounters on line. Neil and I will be dining with Ann and two of her Parisian friends. They are taking us to a traditional French brasserie with some very juicy history!
We will be living like locals in Paris !
If you are a fan of the novelist Hemingway – who lived in Paris during his younger years – you will enjoy this.
We have plenty of adventures planned for our time in France.
After our warm up in Paris, Neil and I will head south, first to visit friends in the village of Bellac, then on to our first house and pet sitting assignment in France.
You can follow our encounters with French life on our site called "Village to Villa" living like locals
Please leave us your email address so we can keep you in the loop as our French experiences unfold – good and challenging!

5 Steps To Make Your Email Autoresponder Work Harder
by Jon Allo
Effective email marketing is essential when you are building an online business. Every online business needs an email list. This is the list of potential and actual customers that you have on your email database list and who you can send messages to at any time. Your email list is just another tool in the online marketers' toolbox and like all tools, nothing happens unless you use it.
1. Create a compelling opt-in form.
Your email authoresponder software can create an opt-in form to capture email addresses. This opt-in form should be placed on the home page of your website. You only need to ask potential subscribers for their email address. You don't need their name or anything else at this stage. The more info you ask for, the lower your conversion rate is going to be.
2. Offer something of value.
To encourage your prospects to input their email address into your opt-in form, you will need to provide something of value in return. For instance, this could be a free report, training video or e-newsletter relevant to your business. Set up your email authoresponder to instantly send what you offered in exchange for the email address when somebody does opt-in toyour list. In this electronic age, people expect to have things sent quickly and if they have to wait for days to get anything back from you, when they do get it, they will have most likely forgotten why they asked for it initially.
3. Keep providing value.
Research shows that it takes at least 7 emails before most subscribers will act, so effective email marketing means building a relationship with new subscribers as soon as possible. To stay in regular contact with your list, pre-load your email authoresponder with a series of helpful emails that are automatically sent out over a set period of time. Create a desire for your subscribers to know more. You achieve this by making sure your emails provide value and pull at the reader's curiosity.
4. Avoid the hard sell.
Create a balance of selling to them versus being helpful. Send out a series of lessons. Ask them to participate in a poll so that it becomes interactive. Be a little controversial, but not offensive. You'll want to set up a series of emails that your subscribers will want to read and will look forward to receiving. Moderation is key with effective email marketing, and you don't want to overdo it by bombarding a new subscriber with sales messages every day.
5. Send real time broadcasts.
Your email authoresponder works 24/7 for your online business. Your follow-up email marketing campaign is basically a series of emails that have been pre-written and loaded into your authoresponder. They are automatically sent out whenever somebody joins your list. But you don't want to just rely on automation. You can enhance the relationship with your subscribers by sending emails that sent in 'real-time'about things that are happening now.
You can do this with a broadcast email that you send out to everyone on your list at the same time. Everyone will receive the same message whether they've been signed up to your list for days or years. This type of email message is particularly effective if you have some new product or service you want to let your customers know about, or if you're having a sale.
More Information:
Reliable email software can handle many more emails than you could ever process manually and allows you to get on with running your business while it manages your email marketing. For a full review of the leading email marketing services provider go to http://www.jonallo.com/aweber-review

HOLY LOW CALORIE DIET BATMAN! It's no wonder people are getting skinny on Optislim when you consider how few calories you're consuming on their program a day! A big healthy girl like me cringes at the thought.
Not for the faint-hearted (and only those extremely fed-up with being overweight), Optislim products are designed to be taken as part of three programs–dependent upon how quickly you want to lose, and how much money you're willing to part with!
ACCELERATED PROGRAM-you will replace all three meals with Optislim shakes, soups or meal replacement bars and eat 800 calories or less a day.
RAPID PROGRAM-you will replace two meals a day with Optislim shakes, soups or meal replacement bars and eat 1000 calories or less a day.
BALANCED PROGRAM-you will replace only one meal a day with Optislim shakes, soups or meal replacement bars and eat around 1,500 calories a day.
Here is what OptiSlim has to say about their VLCD shakes:
Nutritionally Complete
- Milkshake taste
- 3 Flavors–Chocolate, Vanilla & Espresso
- Can be used in conjunction with Optislim® VLCD Soups and Bars
- 21 sachets per pack
- Australian Made
Optislim VLCD Shakes Ingredients
Optislim do not divulge the ingredients for any of their products. They state they're nutritionally complete:
"Contains all of your daily nutritional requirements, including 25 vitamins and minerals, when you use 3 sachets per day."
But honestly that's hard to judge when you can't read what's in them. I'm one of those gals who spends hours browsing over product labels in supermarkets. I like to know exactly how much junk I'm consuming!
I really don't like the lack of information here…
Optislim VLCD Shakes Side Effects
Oh boy. Let me think. Expect dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue and bad breath as a few of the side effects you'll experience. Optislim does recommend you have a full medical check-up and are cleared by your doctor before starting their program; and are monitored regularly throughout.
They also recommend you drink lots of water.
Probably to drown out hunger pangs.
Does Optislim VLCD Shakes Work Well Enough to Buy?
This isn't a cheap program when you consider one box of 21 sachets of Optislim is $34.95 plus shipping. If you're on the ACCELERATED program, that's going to last you one week only.
Consuming pre-packaged weight loss products is always convenient for the time-restricted, lazy or those just plain confused about what to eat. Let's face it there's so many new diets out there, confusion is understandable.
Bottom line–a program like Optislim (or SlimFast, or Nutrisystem) is good only for those who don't mind eating strictly what's placed in front of them and otherwise ignoring all cravings and hunger pangs.
You will lose weight using OptislimShakes and other products in their line because they are so low calorie–but how long until your body gets used to consuming less calories and plateaus out?
And without being able to judge how nutritionally sound Optislim VLCD shakes are I wouldn't recommend them–even if they are in delicious chocolate, vanilla and expresso flavors.
Look instead to eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, workout daily and find a diet pill containing clinically proven fat burners and appetite suppressants to help you on your weight loss journey.
You'll feel energized and healthy–instead of dead on your feet.

Being from Massachusetts, people are tired of the many taxes that have been raised in this state. Voters were also disgusted with the State Congress changing the laws for election after Kennedy died, to keep in Democrat to vote for the national healthcare bill. They had changed it several years before, also at Kennedy's request. The Congress here is overwhelmingly Democrat. Also, people here do not like the national healthcare plan, at least b/c of its cost. We already have universal care here, and its cost is out of control. Also, the Democrat candidate took people's votes for granted, and assumed that she would win b/c she is a Democrat. People in this state, as everywhere are very aware of the extreme national deficit and debt, and are tired of Congressional spending.

People in America are ANGRY!!! We are frustrated, feeling ignored, and frankly insulted by those WE elected. We The People spoke loud and clear on election day in MA, but look at how the Obama White House has responded! They learned nothing and heard nothing from the voters in Massachusetts.

it might have to do with government enforced and run health care. they have it and don't like it. i was a long time resident of mass. and the policies of that commonwealth drove me out. just before i left they added another .25 cents to a pack of cigarettes. before it was inacted but after it passed, ol' teddy broke ground on a new mansion in martha's vineyard.the state taxes on smokes don't go to health care and are not put in for that reason. they are put in to increase revenue and help the powerful stay in power. that's why the people of mass. has had enough with the liberal train of thought. it seems they could not for any reason turn their backs on the kennedys, but there are no more running and they finally breathed a sigh of relief and choose the right path. it cost too much to live there and something has to give.

H.P, hello! I apologize for not weighing this question back in January when you asked me. I did not even know that there was a site listing personal questions until today. I know I have been here for a long time, but I kind of go my own way and don't think about much but expressing myself in heart language or reading hubs by others who tend to do the same. You are one of those people. I have not read one of your hubs in awhile. I will have to zip over to your site and see what you have to say about the world at the moment.
I think the Democratic Party lost because the Tea Party went into the state full force and surprised a lazy Party politic. Seriously! I think that many thought it would never happen in Massachusetts. It was a wake up call.
And Americans like to point fingers. We have gotten to be experts on passing the buck. In this case, Obama's election timing was unfortunate. He was plunged into the deep end, as we used to say in my Red Cross lifeguard class.
Brown isn't having an easy time of it. No politician is. It is a contentious job for people with more stomach than I!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Boernician tribes of Scotland. It is derived from the personal name Edmond. Edmondsun is a patronymic surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. Many patronyms were formed by a son using his father's personal name as a surname. Others were taken from the names of important religious and secular figures. Members of the Edmondsun family settled in Scotland, just following the Norman Conquest of England, in 1066.
Edmondsun Early Origins
Edinburghshire, a former county, now part of the Midlothian council area where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Queen Margaret of Scotland. They take their name from the place name Edmondstone, the tun of Eadmund, near Edinburgh. The name may have been derived from Aedmund filius Forn, one of the witnesses to a charter by Thor filius Swani (c. 1150)[1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Edmondsun Spelling Variations
Edmondsun Spelling Variations
Spelling rules had not yet evolved in medieval Scotland, some names dating from that era often appear many different ways. Some spelling variations of Edmondsun include Edmondson, Edmonson, Edminson, Edminston, Edmiston, Edmeston, Edmondon and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The Boernician-Scottish people who came to North America were often nearly penniless when they arrived, and brought very few personal effects with them. Much Scottish heritage was lost in the process, and it is only this century that highland games, Clan societies, and other patriotic Scottish organizations have helped the ancestors of Scots to rediscover their national legacy. Edmondsuns were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America: Francis Edmonson arrived in Philadelphia in 1796; followed by George Edmonson in 1856; Robert Edmonton arrived in Philadelphia in 1853.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtus auget honorem
Motto Translation: Virtue increases honour.

|Summary, etc.:
| Here, for the first time, in his new book The Rage Against God, Peter Hitchens, brother of prominent atheist Christopher Hitchens, chronicles his personal journey through disbelief into a committed Christian faith. With unflinching openness and intellectual honesty, Hitchens describes the personal loss and philosophical curiosity that led him to burn his Bible at prep school and embrace atheism in its place. From there, he traces his experience as a journalist in Soviet Moscow, and the critical observations that left him with more questions than answers, and more despair than hope for how to live a meaningful life. With first-hand insight into the blurring of the line between politics and the Church, Hitchens reveals the reasons why an honest assessment of Atheism cannot sustain disbelief in God. In the process, he provides hope for all believers who, in the words of T. S. Eliot, may discover "the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

Maybe you are still stuck trying to think of the perfect gift for your favorite traveller who hasn't quite settled down or your best friend who is in full declutter mode. Maybe you want to give to someone that has waaaay too much stuff. What do you do?
Consider an experiential gift
Gifts of experience can be the answer to the question "What do I buy for someone who has everything?" or "What do I buy for my minimalist family member?" Perhaps you decide to gift them an activity or help them out with your expertise.
For example, my hubby is pretty handy, and he is always helping out my Mom with projects around her house. I think she appreciates his help much more than anything he can buy since she can no longer do the work herself.
What other kinds of experience gifts can you give?
For the kids:
- Tickets to the local zoo
- Tickets to a children's museum (if you have one in your area)
- Tickets to ride a train (really, any train. I have yet to meet a kid who doesn't love a train ride)
- Make them a certificate valid for a special outing to their favorite park with you.
- Take them out for their favorite meal
- Give them a day of yes. Basically, if they want to do something, then you do it. (I read about this awhile back, and the kids loved it. Let the recipient know they have to keep the requests within reason.)
- Plan a family outing to one of their favorite places.
- Take them to the movies or drive in
For the bigger kids (aka adults):
- Make them a meal or give them a gift card to a favorite restaurant.
- For active peeps: Book a fun workout of their choice or one they have wanted to try. Better yet, do it together. (yoga, acrobatics, color run, obstacle course, etc.)
- Help them complete a lingering household project
- Movie tickets
- Schedule time to hang out and spend the day on new experiences around town
- Museum tickets
- Bake something, bring it over, and spend time catching up while eating
- Tickets to a favorite sporting or concert event (just make sure the recipient is available on the scheduled date)
- For travelers: gift cards to their favorite airline.
- If you are handy: Offer to help them with a project around the house. This is especially helpful for seniors and people with disabilities.
- For avid online shoppers: offer to renew their Amazon Prime membership. At least you aren't buying the actual items, just enabling their hobby a wee bit.
Do you have any other ideas for an experiential gift? If so, I would love to hear it. Please share your ideas in the comments section below.

Koder is an on-demand service that connects startups and entrepreneurs with teams of the elite developers and designers using a monthly subscription model. Through the Koder service, anyone can get an elite team of designers and engineers to build their next idea, meticulously managed by a Silicon Valley or LA-based Product Manager and CTO. See how it works.
Koder is a subscription service that offers you the ability to pay-as-you-go with a monthly subscription. There's no longer a need for hourly billing or large fixed-fee projects. See Pricing to see our subscription plans.
Koder uses subscription billing instead of hourly billing. We think the hourly billing model is broken as it only benefits the developer receiving hourly compensation without guaranteeing results. This is why we're disrupting the consulting industry with our unique Developers-as-a-Service platform.
Absolutely. We understand many sleazy consultants take advantage of companies at times. We're happy to provide a fixed-fee estimate for your project to help you predict costs and plan your budget. Please request an estimate.
Technically, it was a little more than 3 minutes but it was just a proof of concept. A real app takes a bit longer than 3 minutes. See VentureBeat and Gizmodo's coverage.
Unfortunately, no. In order for us to bring the very best, most elite engineers to your project, Koder
assembles teams based on skillset and not based on location. Many of our Koders also work at companies like
Microsoft and Google and have a limited schedule. In addition, teams are composed of Koders
living in different states or working at different times of the day.
If working onsite is important to you, you may want to consider outsourcing or a staffing agency.
Koder's office is in Irvine, CA and in San Francisco, CA. While many of our team members and Koders live in Silicon Valley and Southern California (Los Angeles, Venice, Irvine), many Koders reside in different parts of the world.
Because our Koders have to eat, we can't work in exchange for equity alone. However, in 2017, we're investing up to $500K in 12 exceptional startups to help reduce the overall cost of development. If you're an exceptional founder or startup, please get in touch to be considered.
See previous question.
Every project follows the Koder agile methodology which includes weekly demos where Koders share their progress, giving you a glimpse at the final product. All subscriptions come with the ability for you to provide feedback after every weekly demo if you change your mind or your users request something different.
The details of every project are confidential and are only visible to the Koders working on your project. From time to time, we may feature certain projects on this website but we'll ask for your permission if your project is selected.
Absolutely. You will receive the source code to everything built by your Koder team and will receive a perpetual license if any existing component was used to assemble your project faster.
Absolutely. Just share the design with your Product Manager at the start of the project. For fixed-fee projects, please let us know when requesting a quote. This will definitely speed things up and save you money.
Unfortunately, we only work with exceptional engineers. If you are exceptional, please apply right away.
Please get in touch using our Contact page. We'd love to hear from you.

The ascent of Barack Obama to the US presidency in 2008 was based mostly on a wide range of emotional gut issues, but did not include any real objective analysis of competence, previous performance, knowledge of foreign policy and government functions, relationships with officials holding various, often conflicting political positions, or other traditional measures used to vet prospective US presidents.
Rather, Obama was given a Carte Blanche pass, driven by his African-American heritage and the intense prevalence of 'white guilt' among liberal Democrats, including the mainstream media and other powerful elements within the Democrat power structure.
In the case of Obama, the fact that he was black and clearly a proponent of far-left ideology was good enough for those charged with protecting we the people from unqualified tyrants seeking the keys to the oval office.
All of which makes Obama's pathetic whining about Donald Trump all the more ironic and despicable.
As reported at the reference, Barack Obama had the audacity to say the following about Donald Trump:
'President Obama pleaded with the news media and the American people to take a closer look at Donald Trump's record and positions now that the billionaire real estate mogul and reality television star is the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
'This is not entertainment. This is not a reality show. This is a contest for the presidency of the United States. What that means is that every candidate, every nominee needs to be subject to exacting standards and genuine scrutiny,' Obama told reporters in an unscheduled question-and-answer session at the White House on Friday.'
This bizarre statement in spite of the fact that Obama's 'signature' achievement—ObamaCare—is in a vicious death spiral that will potentially leave tens of millions of Americans in the lurch when it comes to health care;
This in spite of the fact that Barack Obama refuses to accept the fact that world-wide terrorism is largely a product of extremism executed by Islamic radicals; said denial leading to the creation and growth of the ISIS threat;
This in spite of the fact that Barack Obama has aggressively refused to address the issue of unsustainable national debt which has grown to over $19 million since his inauguration on January 20, 2009, and (Obama) has instead demanded that the debt ceiling be raised each year without proposing remedial steps to curtail government spending;
This in spite of the fact that the US economy is in a quagmire of stunted growth, wrought by over regulation and anti-business policy promoted by the Obama administration which has all but ended the American Dream for millions of middle-class Americans;
This in spite of the fact that race relations in America are more strained and bitter now than when Obama was elected in 2008.
Given Obama's record over the past eight years, his demand that Donald Trump 'be subject to exacting standards and genuine scrutiny,' is particularly ironic and outrageous!
Clearly, Barack Obama has treated the US presidency with less respect and regard than a president would be expected to apply to a reality TV show.
Perhaps Donald Trump is exactly what the nation needs to reverse the disastrous course that Obama's indifference and incompetence has brought to our once great nation.

We stayed for one night to take in the Riverwalk and would thoroughly recommend this hotel. It is a short 5 block walk to the Riverwalk/Alamo area or you can cut through the Rivercentre Mall (all safe for walking day & night). You save a lot of money by being on the "other side" of the freeway to most of the hotels. The rooms have recently been rennovated and are really nice with laminate flooring, vessel sinks and good quality mattresses. We have stayed in higher priced hotels that are not as nice. Ask for the side of the hotel away from the freeway - it was quiet. Breakfast was minimal - muffins and bagels, coffee & juice, but enough to get you going.
