INTERVIEW: Princess House's new Prez, CEO discusses priorities, bringing on an agency
Princess House, a direct selling company that specializes in products for the home, has hired Connie Tang as its first woman president and chief executive officer.
Her professional career began at Clinique and Lancome, followed by her tenure at BeautiControl, Inc., an international direct sales company, where she rose quickly to become vice president of special markets. When Tupperware acquired BeautiControl in 2000, Tang was assigned to lead the expansion strategy that brought the company into key global markets in Asia Pacific and Latin America.
In 2008, Tang joined direct selling company JAFRA Cosmetics as president of JAFRA USA. In that position, she led corporate employees in California and Texas and supported more than 55,000 independent sales consultants in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
She also developed dynamic strategies and initiatives to create market growth while leveraging already established penetration and strength in multi-ethnic market segments in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Only about 10 weeks into her new role, Tang spoke with WinmoEdge about Taunton, Mass.-based Princess House's growth goals and marketing priorities, which includes bringing on a unique type of agency. The company is also in the midst of celebrating and planning for its 50th year anniversary in 2013.
Tang said this is an exciting opportunity because as a professional and a mom, she is familiar with the challenges faced by Princess House's sales force and primary target audiences: customers and independent consultants.
"I look forward to imparting life experiences coupled with my business experience to help customize what Princess House has to offer them," Tang stated. "I can speak from their shoes. That's really exciting and I think that's what they're excited about. Certainly, as we move forward in determining and defining the company's brand for the next 50 years, we want to continue our relevance to speak to that target audience. It's very important for us to continue to build and foster that loyalty that we've already acquired through the years."
Since 2009, Princess House has grown its number of consultants by 44 percent despite the challenging economic environment. Tang said the company has performed well during the recession because people are looking for supplemental income or even replacement income. Also, direct selling and Princess House, in particular, offers a completely open opportunity for a wide variety of women.
"It is open to anyone regardless of their background, their educational upbringing, where they're from, what language they speak," she expressed. "I think that's what the beauty of it is. It's not only an opportunity as a consumer to acquire very high quality products at accessible prices or even for free if you are a hostess, but there's also the business opportunity. It affords women the flexibility of being in business for themselves and allows them to drive their life and family responsibilities around the business, and be paid very fairly."
Tang added that women nationwide are making life decisions and choices to be home-based business owners because they want more balance.
"Having control of your own business opportunity and earnings is the best way to do that," she said. "Princess House has been a viable, relevant opportunity and choice for them for almost 50 years. It speaks to the longevity and relevance of the company as we've continued to evolve, grow up and mature."
Still new to her position, Tang provided a broad stroke look into some of Princess House's priorities:
First, she touched on the need to improve Princess House's all-encompassing digital technology platform. This includes infrastructure, the front-end commerce system and communications, such as the company's role in social media, online e-learning and as a business partner is providing relevant, current and robust information.
"We want to look at the evolution of Princess House's digital platforms for the internal operational structure as well as externally in how we service, communicate and speak to our customers and consultants," Tang acknowledged "That's one big, big chunk that surely will take a few years of multi-stage and multi-phase development to implement, but we're thoughtfully and carefully going through it."
Another priority is evaluating Princess House's brand and positioning from both a product standpoint, as well as image and target audiences.
"We want to make sure that we are poised for the next 50 years of growth, so we need the right positioning – whether it's about product category; continuing to be relevant and cutting edge in the direct selling opportunity arena; and how we continue to attract new generations for our business," Tang expressed.
She said Princess House has people who have been with it for more than 30 years, but the company must lay the groundwork for finding and nurturing up and coming leaders.
"Looking at our brand and our strategy is very much about our viability and sustainability for the next 50 years," she added.
Another piece in Princess House's strategy is challenging itself to continue being competitive in the world of consumer satisfaction and service. Tang said the world of retail and commerce is transforming dramatically, so Princess House must stay on top of developing trends in consumer buying habits.
"We hear about Black Friday but then we hear how Black Friday is being taken over by Cyber Monday," our source stated. "An important thing to revisit is, how do we stay as a relevant and important choice for people's home goods, cooking, cookware and tableware decisions as consumer buying behaviors change? What world do we play in, how do we play and how does it fit? It doesn't mean that we'll conform to what is changing but certainly we need to be adaptable to where it makes sense for us. At the end of the day, all of our independent consultants and leaders are business owners; they all have virtual storefronts. How do we ensure that we help prepare them and us for the change in consumer buying behavior, so they don't become outdated and fall victim to the changing environment and demands of the consumer?"
As America's face and complexion has changed during the past 30 years, Princess's House's sales force has become extremely diverse. As such, the company also must continue improving its ability to address a multicultural, diverse sales force, something our source said Princess House already does very well.
"Half of our sales force is of Hispanic descent," Tang added. "That's a very coveted position to be in when companies are just beginning to look at how they integrate into that. Half of our sales force is already there, and we have seedlings of an African American contingency. Our goal is to continue honing in on what we already do well – communicating to our specific market segments, while penetrating deeper into those segments where we already have a foothold. I think that's a huge competitive advantage that we don't intend to lose sight of. We want to strengthen it as the layers of diversity become much deeper."
Tang said that while Princess House is ahead of many companies from a multicultural standpoint, it is catching up on the digital platform side in some instances.
"We're there in some areas, and there are some where we have significant work to do," she continued. "What's wonderful is that we have identified that and have positively made decisions to move forward from a commitment and resources standpoint. We have a plan to move forward. Sometimes companies come in and they're in denial, but we are past the denial stage. We know where we need to go; now it's laying the road map of how to do it well."
On the agency front,, whom Tang has worked with previously, is helping to get the word out regarding Princess House's change in leadership. Our source said the company is just beginning discussions with some agencies to bring on a potential partner.
"As we're beginning to evolve in our work and look at our branding and brand strategy, obviously, that will impact our communications, literature, images, photography and websites," Tang acknowledged. "It has a trickle down impact, even on products and even on packaging."
She expressed that this isn't a call for all interested agencies to contact Princess House, but the company is working with contacts and referrals to find the right partner.
"What we're looking for is very unique," she continued. "We're looking for someone who can come in and be quick at understanding that unlike a new company, we have a 50 year heritage brand, so we have to be respectful of that. You can't change who your parents are and how you were born. It's understanding that and taking all of those brand essences and icons and figuring out how they carry through, and what it should morph into over the next 50 years to remain relevant. We want to attract new customers, while not alienating existing customers and end consumers."
Since Princess House is so diverse, Tang added that not all agencies are equal in their experience level working with such a multi-faceted audience.
"There are companies that hire agencies to develop a Latino market penetration program, and there are companies that hire an agency to develop a social media campaign, which is very specific" Tang continued. "We already have a diverse sales force and demographic; we need to maintain that. What we're looking at is, how do we continue to not lose sight of what we already have, but dig deeper into it too? In finding the right partner, we hope to not take the role of professor and teacher. We want them to come in and help us find opportunities based on their experience level. It's a different approach, certainly, and we are looking for a specific skill set."
In addition, the agency must understand the direct sales environment.
"We're not a retail brand," Tang expressed. "It really is a very emotional business model, so understanding that and being quick to adapt to that type of culture is also crucial. Everyone will say that they're different and we believe so too, but those are two very significant pieces to finding the right partner."
Tang said agencies that meet this criteria should email Elizabeth "Biz" Dailey at The Delaney Company, who will forward the most relevant approaches for review.
Regarding Princess House's 50th anniversary in 2013, the company is going into "intense strategic planning" during the next four weeks to prepare for the celebration.
"That's actually at the end of the month, but to kick off the 50th anniversary, in fact, we already launched a 50th anniversary incentive two weeks ago at an event in Las Vegas," Tang stated. "It is an eight-day, 50th anniversary Mediterranean cruise. It's a sales incentive for our existing consultants that they can earn. It will take place next year in May. We have started the buzz but we will be pulling together a 50th year anniversary rally. That's part of our strategic planning."
One example of how Princess House has already improved its digital presence is that it live streamed the Las Vegas event for the first time ever.
"What a way to say that we're moving into a new era of growth, excitement and development," Tang expressed. "It showed that we've come a long way. To be able to live stream that event to thousands of consultants across the country and a few other countries was a great opportunity for us. It showed what we mean by technology. It's not only a question of how we plan and develop technology, but how does it fit with our model?"
Tang cited social media as an example of this and compared social media's networking capabilities to direct sales.
"Direct sales is social selling; it's a very social environment," she added." It's Yelp and Facebook live! It's a question of, how do we include it so we don't fall behind, but also help newcomers to not be afraid of it."
Our source continued that technology and social media won't replace the face-to-face direct selling model, but they can supplement it.
"It's a very valuable tool but we have to figure out how to balance it," Tang expressed. "You can spend your life in front of the computer and Facebook, but business doesn't come through on the screen. It does come through active engagement, especially when we're talking about the types of goods that we offer. We offer high end cookware and that's hard to sell without letting people try it. Part of the experience is seeing the demo, smelling and tasting the food and being within that social setting sharing it. Digital platforms can't take that away but they can enhance it."

New Delhi, Oct. 4: The Congress-led UPA government plans to bring a note to allow up to 49 per cent foreign stake in domestic airlines.
The proposal will be moved before a cabinet meeting expected to be held after the Maharashtra assembly elections. It will be preceded by talks between civil aviation minister Praful Patel and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Patel is also expected to ask for Singh's guidance on another controversial subject ' allowing private airlines Jet and Sahara ' the freedom to fly to Asean nations and the United Kingdom.
Patel is believed to support allowing private airlines the freedom to operate in foreign skies. However, he is also wary of pushing the move before the cabinet without getting the Prime Minister's concurrence as the issue has political ramifications and he is already nursing 'wounds' from a run-in he had with the Left on the issue of airport privatisation and FDI in airlines.
Singh is likely to allow private flights to the Asean but may well demur ongiving away lucrative UK flights to private airlines on a platter. This will be difficult also because the government is sitting on plans to expand Air-India's fleet and Indian Airlines requests that it be allowed to fly to the UK and Europe.
Sources also said after the Left let it be known that it has dropped its opposition to hiking foreign direct investment in airlines, the civil aviation minister has been asked by the Prime Minister to bring a note before the cabinet on allowing up to 49 per cent foreign stake in domestic airlines.
Patel wants a 49 per cent stake for foreign owners in domestic airlines like Jet and Sahara, but insists on barring overseas airlines from picking up the shares.
However, the finance ministry has in the past sent notes which have supported allowing foreign airlines also to take up to 26 per cent stake in domestic aviation firms.
Sources, however, said Patel's ministry does not feel allowing foreign airlines at this stage of India's aviation industry is justified. Their point is that airlines in India have demonstrated the ability to run and expand themselves. Their need seemed to be of cheap non-debt creating hard currency financing. This could be done by allowing foreign investment.
Patel will also be taking a note before the group of ministers on Delhi and Mumbai airports to consider private players even as another committee within his ministry sits to consider an alternate public funded development plan for the two hubs.
'The two processes will go on simultaneously,' said sources. However, the indications seem to be against the alternate plans submitted by the Airport Authority officers and employees.
Civil aviation ministry officials pointed out that foreign airlines were seeking expansion of their bilaterals for the five-month peak season. 'This shows an urgent need to expand airport infrastructure,' they pointed out.
'The rush is so much this time round that we have been constrained to rationalise and will be asking quite a few airlines to expand services but to take their extra flights to other airports,' they added.

The mat being red with white lettering is very nice in appearance. This is one reason I purchased it rather than a typical black mat. It is actually thicker than I thought it would be and has a rubbery feel to it. It is easy to keep clean, go over it with a wet cloth and voila. Anyway, not much more to say, if you need a nice mat that does the trick for what it was designed to do, then I highly recommend the Elite Trainer Mat.

Hello There,
I live in a rental flat, agreement for which is signed & registered for 2 years contract. I have completed 1 Year. Recently applied for passport, but the Owner & Secretary are not willing to provide any Letter or NOC. My documentations were accepted in Passport office without NOC, as they that as per new rules, NOC is required only if you are Government employee. My documents are now at Police station, where they are asking compulsory for NOC from society or owner which is not possible for me. So what should be the next best solution for me i asked the same question to Police, they say nothing. Now please advice me what to do?

In a brief interview for Digital Spy, Erica revealed she "would love to star in a UK drama like Happy Valley" and teases Saving Hope Season 5. Check it out!
Smallville fans of the UK, listen up – Lois Lane herself, Erica Durance, wants to star in a UK show, so start the campaign now.
We had a chat with Erica about her current show Saving Hope, and she told us about her love of all televisual things British.
"It's my dream [to star in a UK show]," she told Digital Spy. "I live in BBC land! That's what I Netflix and watch all the time.
"Those are the kind of shows I want to be part of. I just finished The River, which was fantastic, and Happy Valley, and Scott & Bailey. They have just such good storytelling.
"As much as I've been part of big sci-fi and SFX dramas, I also just like a simple story that is told well, and in the UK I feel like they do that like no other place.
"And I'm not just saying that because you're from there, I have my whole life loved Jane Austen and all the incarnations of Pride and Prejudice, so I've always kinda lived in that world. If I ever had the chance to be part of something like that, I could almost hang up my hat and say, 'I did it!'"
So there you have it. If the third season of Happy Valley stars a certain Canadian actress, we'd like to think it was down to us.
Meanwhile, Erica teased what to expect with the upcoming fifth season of Saving Hope, so spoilers ahead, saying: "We're trying to go a little bit darker with it, we're trying to really challenge the Alex and Charlie relationship given what they have to deal with.
"There are some tough times ahead for both of them and being able to go between the two different worlds for Charlie definitely has a devastating effect for him at some point."
Saving Hope currently airs on Tuesday nights at 9pm on the Sony Channel in the UK – available on Sky 157, Virgin 193, BT and Talk Talk 331.

Miss Fortune Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
+ MF has great passive which allows her to harass opponent,dodge skill shots and escape from ganks( if you don't get hit in beginning, you should be able to run from Udyr and heroes like him ( without charge skills))
+ Double up + Normal attack deals ~ 400 damage at lvl 9 (5th rank of Double up) if you got a B.F. sword. Considering that as normal carry (mage or AD) they have around 1500 HP, that means you can poke them really hard or potentionally "zone" them.
+ Her ultimate combined with amumu's or galio's is very strong in team fights.
+ Her W is good when laning against heroes like Vladimir.
- She is of course very squishy and she doesn't have escape ability like Tristana or Caitlyn so you must be very careful when positioning in team fight, because you can die really quickly.
- MF without her passive is one of the slowest champions in the game, so be careful.
Summoner Spells
Exhaust + Flash = Good combination, With flash you can escape when focused in team fights. Exhaust is good in lane against other carries or solo laners. When you are in teamfight, Tanky dps's or tanks will most likely focus you, so you can simply exhaust them and run or take them down. Exhaust is also good when you have 1v1 fight with stunner, burster or strong melee against you.
Flash + Ghost = Another viable combination, replacing exhaust with ghost allows you to have a better movement around the map ( you can ghost in jungle and run to the lane, you will be there sooner then they'll expect ) ghost is on the other hand not that good in team fights ( when you are slowed, ghost doesn't basically do nothing ) but you can chase enemies with it. Ghost in 1v1 ( when not chasing ) is useless.
Boots: Berserker's Greaves or Mercury's Threads You should start with Berserker's Greaves if your opponent isn't someone like Malzahar (stun, strong 1v1). After some time ( ~20 mins in game) you can switch to Mercury's Treads because you already have a lot of attack speed and Mercuries are really good in teamfights ( because of unique passive - tenacity).o
Core Build: You should get those 2 items in every your game.
[/b] Infinite edge is just really great item, 80 AD, 25% crit and Unique passive +50% crit damage, basic item for lots of AD carries.
With phantom and Infinity you are pretty much unstoppable.
Another viable items:
Survivability and slow on hit, very good item.
Every AD needs some lifesteal.I recommend you to buy Vampiric Scepter early and finish The Bloodthirster as 3-4th item.
Also great item, good against tanky dps (~100 armor.)
Good against very tanky teams and tanks(~150 armor) if more than 2 guys have that many armor, you should definitely get Last Whisper.
Good against high Hp team, it will also give you some armor so if you are dying from AD guys, you can buy this.
Good against mages, also give you nice attack speed so you can combine it with Madred's Bloodrazor
Survivability, absorb one spell every 45s and has decent amount of Hp, mana and MR, why not?
Your final build can look like this:
mercury's threads
Start with Doran's Blade. Last hit as much as you possibly can. If your opponent is good and you don't have opportunity to farm that well or if he constantly harras you, you should buy another Doran's Blade ( Your maximum number of Doran's Blades should be 3 but I recommend you to buy max. 2 of them) You should buy B.F. sword as soon as you can, but don't keep your money for too long. For example (it oftens happen to me) You return to base for the first time, you have ~1300 gold, what should you do, should you return to lane and get 350 more gold to buy B.F. sword? Well I think not so I will, instead of keeping my money, buy Berserker's Greaves and another Doran's Blade.
If you have lot of money on your first port home (~2500) you should buy Boots of Speed, Vampiric Scepter and [B.F. sword]]. If you get a lot of money on your second port, build Infinite Edge before completing boots.

Is rubbing your belly in front of people considered offensive?
View Single Post

Love my girls!!

So, you know how some women are annoyed when strangers rub their preg. belly w/o asking? I'm wondering if the pregnant mom rubbing HER OWN belly is also annoying to some?
My supervisor cut me off while I was talking today and said "I bet your baby will never fall asleep w/o her back getting rubbed b/c your constantly rubbing your stomach".
I stopped rubbing immediatly and said that I probably have been doing it more b/c she's moving around now and I can feel her.
My supervisor is not fond of pregnant women showing off their bodies proudly...she feels they should basically hide out for the 9 months.
I have to train myself to stop rubbing my belly at work, b/c I do it all the time now (but I've waited forever to feel her, and I am so loving my belly, even if it's just a small little thing).
I need to know if rubbing your belly in public is considered "inappropriate"...b/c if so, I will stop. I don't want to make others uncomfortable.
I didn't know if this was the same as women nursing w/their BB completly exposed w/o even a shawl? I'm for public nursing, but I know A LOT of women find it offensive and feel women should hide in a bathroom to do it (which is absurd).

What is veterinary consulting? For Brenda Tassava, it's more than giving advice and making recommendations. The real satisfaction is when she see ideas and hard work come together to reshape a veterinary practice over time. That requires a longterm commitment and relationship, both from the client and the consultant.
Consulting work is a process. Before that process can begin, you must ask yourself if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and work at it, because that's what change and growth require. If you're committed to building a better workplace culture, while adding value to your veterinary practice and increasing your bottom line, by first building a solid foundation while involving your entire team, then let's get started!
Brenda Tassava is an experienced practice management consultant whose roots began in the area of veterinary client service. She has personally trained client care teams, built strong leadership teams, and mentored and trained new practice managers across the country. Her consulting services include, but are not limited to:

When our surgeons have finished your procedure, our nurses will take you to meet your surgery companion in the recovery area. Recovery times do vary, so we will carefully observe your progress and have you stay as long as necessary.

I grew up on a farm. In a house that was built pre civil war, had no A/C, no insulation, pipes froze in the winter, and 2 fireplaces for heat. We were 45 minutes from the closest grocery store, so what we grew was what we ate. We farmed 500+ acres and raised pigs and cows. I got out of school and worked till dark, then homework. I did this from when I was 6 to 16. I got out of school and joined the US NAVY, then I spent 10 years working my way from a line cook to a chef for one of the most successful restaurants in Charleston. When my daughter (a freshman at AMHS) was born, I quit food and bev and started doing carpentry. I worked my way from a laborer to running interior trim crews on houses in I'ON, Kiawah, IOP, Seabrook, and Sullivan's island. When the market crashed, I had to start another career. At 40 years old, I went back to school and got my paramedic certification which is where I'm at now. Not a glamorous resume but it has been satisfying. A life of service to others.
My children, I have 3 now, have seen me work my butt off. My daughter has been there through most of it. She is well aware of how hard you have to work to get by. I know this because her hard work is how she got into AMHS. Like her father, she has earned what she has. "Entitled". Your damn right!!
We are passionate members of our church and are actively involved in children's ministry. Whether you are a Christian or not, I think you would agree that racism is not something we cultivate.
I am saying all this to clarify exactly who you are addressing when you talk about "rich, spoiled, white kids". I'm sure my story is not unique. If my kids have "more", it's because they worked for it.
As for your accusations of racism, grow up and quit trying to get a rise out of people by bullying them.
Perhaps this would be a discussion you would like to have in person.
Probably not.
This does not warrant further exchange. God bless.
So happy that God led Pastor Greg to this city. The community that has grown from Seacoast's creation is amazing. I see people come to Christ and find peace every week. For those that doubt, I encourage you to take a closer look. Investigate how many lives have been impacted by the Holy Spirit moving through Seacoast's masses. Some look at this church and they think that because of its size and all the high tech showmanship, that there is something wrong with it. How can they spend all that money on these kind of things and isn't there a more worthy cause? I can't give you exact figures, but I do know that from one weekend of tithes, Seacoast gave away close to $500,000 for new churches and charity groups to get started. We have brought water to those dying of thirst, we have fed those starving, we have clothed those that were naked, and we have sheltered the homeless. All for the glory of God. Seacoast has become the God powerhouse it is because we believe in Him and know that we are all deserving of His love and grace. He has rewarded us with His favor and created a place that all can feel welcome. We are blessed with an awesome place to worship. Paid for with our money, for our brothers and sisters. We will do anything to save as many as possible. Tell me how this is a bad thing.

Chennai, Dec. 30: The new year greeting came a day earlier, but M. Karunanidhi wasnt complaining. After all, its not often that a single phone call melts two decades of frost.
For the DMK chief, the call from Sonia Gandhi marked the beginning of a new relationship. I consider this (the talk with Sonia) as the beginning of the process of reaching an electoral alliance with the Congress, a smiling Karunanidhi told reporters here.
Both leaders had greeted each other for the new year. Karunanidhi said the Congress chief congratulated us for coming out of the NDA.
Their conversation came a day after CPM veteran Harkishen Singh Surjeet telephoned Karunanidhi to say he would soon reach Chennai to discuss new alliances for the coming Lok Sabha polls.
The former Tamil Nadu chief minister also disclosed that CPI general secretary A.B. Bardhan had got in touch with him and appreciated the DMKs move to withdraw from the central coalition. But he said the formation of a new alliance depended upon when elections are going to be held.
Even today, the deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, indicated going for early elections and the DMK is ready for it whenever it may be called, he added.
Replying to another question on whether the Congress was sending any emissary to begin the parleys, he said he had only seen such reports this evening. Nothing has been heard from the Congress party.
Karunanidhi refused to comment on Sonias recent remarks in Mumbai that her party would not thrust its leadership on other parties and whether the DMK thought it a climbdown after the Shimla conclave. At the conclave held earlier this year, the Congress position was that only it could lead an alternative front against the BJP. I cannot reply to inferences, he said.
He also pointed out that Congress spokesman S. Jaipal Reddy had subsequently said any anti-BJP alliance could have only one leader Sonia.
The DMK chief also did not envisage any major problem coming in the way of his partys alliance talks with the Congress in view of the pro-LTTE MDMK. If you expect to see a hitch, you will see a hitch on this count, he said.
Karunanidhi welcomed the decision of MDMK leader Vaiko, detained under the anti-terror law, to consult lawyers and party colleagues on the question of seeking bail. I am very happy, he said.
The DMK chief had yesterday appealed to Vaiko not to stick to his stand of not seeking bail, as there was enormous work to be done outside.
In a related development, the minority cell of the Tamil Nadu Congress unit today sought the expulsion of MP Jaffer Sharief for his recent statement that Sonia should not be projected as the partys prime ministerial candidate.
The cells secretary, Kovai Syed Isaq, said in a statement that such remarks would send wrong signals to party workers.

Going by the voices emanating from JD(U) ranks, it seems Kumar is all set to walk out of the alliance. Sources even indicate that he might not wait for the BJP to formally declare Modi as its prime ministerial candidate. Kumar has been a critic of the idea of making Modi the NDA's PM candidate and wanted a 'secular' face for the top job. The Gujarat CM is yet to get rid of the 'communal' label which was imprinted on him after the 2002 progroms in his state.
Sources in the JD(U) said the BJP looked certain to get drubbed in the upcoming Karnataka assembly polls. They said the BJP would then completely fall back on Modi to revive its fortunes ahead of the Lok sabha polls and such a development would not spare any option for the JD(U) but to walk out of the alliance.
Karnataka will go to the polls on May 5 and the results will be declared on May 8. Chips are down for the rift ridden ruling BJP in the state which suffered a big blow in the urban local polls earlier this month.
JD(U) leader and Kumar's close aide Sanjay Jha said the chief minister had articulated the party's stand and if there was any deviation, even if unofficially, the party would rethink its position.
The JD(U) felt boosted to walk out of the NDA owing to a number of factors.
First, the victory in the Kalyanpur by-poll held recently. The victory of Manju Kumar by a wide margin was significant for it came in a seat which has a concentration of upper-caste votes, normally a bank of the BJP. The result made Kumar and his party believe that the upper castes were keeping faith in them.
The second is the success of the JD(U)'s massive Adhikar Rally held in New Delhi on March 17. Just a week after the rally and Kumar's meeting with UPA leaders including the prime minister, the Centre made clear its intention to modify the criterion for backwardness to make Bihar eligible for funds.
Union rural development minister Jairam Ramesh also wrote to Kumar on approving funds for a rural job scheme. It is believed that the Centre has been trying to woo Kumar after the DMK's recent pull-out and the Bihar CM is also intending to reciprocate the favour.
Though JD(U) sources said that there was no immediate plan to join the Congress's alliance, but Mulayam Singh Yadav's unpredictability might see Kumar coming close to the UPA faster than expected.

I was referred by my GP in view of increasing tension in my hand due to Dupuytrens contracture. Expecting a session in the Day Unit under general, I was offered a procedure on the spot which has alleviated the problem. The consultant's instant approach has made me an extremely happy person, saved additional NHS resource being expended, and saved me time and discomfort with further trips to Frimley. I welcomed her pleasant manner, professional approach and expertise and I hope it is appreciated by management.

Hello Batoto
The manga I'm looking for is about this smart kid that was supposed to go to a good school, but ends up going to this school for delinquents (possibly by mistake). The school has a bunch of factions divided by grade level. The freshmen faction is divided further into two. One side is led by a charismatic yellow haired male with a green accessory (bandana?) and a useless sidekick and the other is led by a possibly silver/white haired male (who later takes some drug to become more powerful). It turns out the mc (smart kid) has a split personality, the other one being violent and more powerful (to the point of nearly killing the drug-boosted silver haired guy who defeated yellow guy after taking the drug).

Project managers are constantly striving to establish and maintain effective, collaborative and cohesive team environments where individual performances are augmented by team-based achievements.

Your partner wants to please you. He wants you to feel good. He wants you to enjoy sex. And it probably gives him a little ego boost when you do.
But sometimes, he's going to need your help.
There's a lot of pressure on men to 'just know' what they're doing when it comes to sex. Unfortunately, that means, they're often left fumbling around in the dark and looking for direction.
I know all this because they tell me in my therapy room, with a mixture of relief and guilt (like they've just given away some great male secret).
Men, as I'm sure we know, are not all sex Gods. They try (most of them) but that's not always enough.
They want more direction, but many of us fail to give it to them. We have good intentions of course, we don't want to hurt their feelings (read: ego) by telling them that we don't like what they're doing.
Help him out and get more of what you want using the sandwich method.
1. Tell him something that you like or appreciate about what he's doing. Yes – even if you have to make it up!
- Honey, I really love what you're doing right now!
- I love how soft/strong your hands are.
- I really love when you touch me there.
2. Then tell him how he could make things even better for you by giving him specific suggestions.
- And what would make it even better for me right now is…
- And what would turn me on even more right now is…
- And what would drive me crazy right now is…
- … if you do it just a little harder/softer/faster/slower.
- … if you touch me here instead.
- … If you go back to what you were doing before.
If you're brave, you can even show him with your own hands exactly how you like something done.
3. Tell him again something you like (particularly if he gets it right!)
- Mmmm, wow that feels amazing!
- Yes, that's exactly how I like it!
- Oh my god, that feels so good!

Stateside Presents / fauxShow
HEAVENLY BEAT (John Pena of Beach Fossils), JARED ALAN, SEAN WATSON
Last Exit Live
717 S. Central Ave.
Phoenix, AZ, 85004
Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Formed at the tail-end of 2008 as a bedroom recording project, Small Black first made waves with their eponymous debut EP. Recorded in the attic of singer Josh Kolenik's uncle's remote Long Island beach-house/surfboard workshop, it served as an ideal introduction to the group with its pulsing patchwork synths and addictive, stay-gold hooks that seemed to unfurl themselves gradually over repeated listens. Slightly more immediate and polished than its predecessor, Small Black's new album "New Chain" remains a continuation of this contrasting ethos – a delirious smudging of the lines between melancholy and nostalgia, tension and celebration, unabashed pop music and experimentation.
Heavenly Beat is the side project of Beach Fossils bassist John Pena. He began writing and performing under the moniker in late 2009, crafting dreamy electro-pop around his gentle vocals. The first Heavenly Beat release, the "Suday" single for Captured Tracks, arrived in 2011, followed by the "Faithless" single soon after. Pena began work on a Heavenly Beat album in 2012, resulting in "Talent", released that July.
He left Beach Fossils soon after to focus on Heavenly Beat full-time and began work on a second album. After scrapping the results of sessions that took place in a real studio, Pena retreated to his house to record. Prominence, which featured Pena playing all the instruments aside from a few keyboard parts done by Daniel Schlett and Christian Barsi, was released by Captured Tracks in October of 2013.

Why do people choose to stay in disruptive relationships? Does one really love the other or is it a fear of being alone? What is love anyway?
I have a tendency to stay in unhealthy relationships because of lonliness. Love should be kind , gentle, full of trust and respect.
but aren't you lonely anyway if the relationship is unhealthy? can't a person be alone but not lonely?
Based on my 6 divorces prior to meeting my wife, I'd have to say the reasons for staying vary. Love, fear (of being alone, of being attacked by the one you're trying to leave, or even fear of friends and relatives giving you a hard time about it), and sometimes concern that the one you need to leave might not make it without you.
That last one can get interesting.
As to "what is love anyway", it'll take a better man (or woman or angel or something) than me to answer that one.
does ego play a role in that last one? does ego play a role in all your reasons?
People stay in bad relationships for a variety of reasons-
Fear of being alone/or being without the familiarity of the known.
Feelings of an obligation(s) to stay
Doubt that they are worth anything more than they have in the dysfunctional relationship
or Love is still there, and the hope that it will be enough to pull through the bad times to the good.
What is love? I believe love to be complicated and different for everyone, but I believe it to include mutual respect and understanding-genuine concern and overwhelming admiration and a driving desire to be close to someone else, to feel at peace with yourself.
A person can be alone and not lonely as well as they can be devoted to a relationship and feel considerable loneliness.
by Nikki Khan2 weeks ago
Loneliness can have both negative and positive effects.It does effect every individual in different way.On my side,it gives me more time to think,explore,read and write.How does it effect you?Share your stories.

We understand and appreciate the financial commitment families undertake in deciding to send a student to Emerson Preparatory School. To continue attracting high caliber students for whom the cost of tuition may be just out of reach, Emerson offers limited financial aid based upon a combination of both merit and need.
We use the School and Student Services (SSS by NAIS), a trusted, third-party analysis tool, to determine the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). The resulting EFC does not constitute a proposal or commitment to offer a particular amount of financial aid. Numerous other considerations, such as the amount of financial aid budgeted, the needs and profiles of other applicants, the amount of financial aid that has already been accounted for, financial aid policies specific to Emerson, and the priorities of the school's leadership, all figure prominently in any financial aid offer.
Families interested in receiving financial aid should go to the School and Student Services (SSS by NAIS), to fill out the financial aid application and to obtain directions for submitting supporting documentation. The required documentation consists of tax returns with all attached schedules, and W2s, for the previous tax year. Tax returns and W2s should be provided for all responsible parties within a household(s) regardless of marital status or cohabitation.
All financial aid awards are reviewed annually and may be subject to change. To remain eligible for the upcoming school year, families are expected to update their records in SSS and turn in all required documentation prior to the first day of April. Students are expected to maintain satisfactory attendance, academic performance, and conduct, for the continuation of any financial aid arrangement.
Because financial aid awards from the school are allocated prior to the start of the Fall semester, there may not be any remaining financial aid funds for new students who enter in the spring semester. Those students may re-apply for financial aid the following fall semester until the beginning of the next academic year.
Students who are direct recipients of grants from third party organizations such as the Opportunity Scholarship Program do not need to apply separately for financial aid through the SSS system.

Gaaahd I love these shoes! Can you believe it - picked them up at the fashion night fleamarket in Munich recently . The deal of the century! Brand new all leather (the softest, most luxurious kind) for only EURO 4,-!!!! The seller must have been crazy. I didn't question her, just grabbed them fast before she could change her mind.
Wore them to a party recently and was on my feet for over 6 hours. Despite being gorgeous and all, at the end of the day I needed to take them off and switch to flats.
The escalators weren't working at the underground station and I had to take the lift. Ok I COULD have taken the stairs theorectically, but hey like I said - my feet were hurting:-) Put the shoes on the floor of the lift to take something out of my bag and then saw this amazing picture opportunity. Got out my iPhone and went up and down in the lift til I got the picture juuuuuust right:-))))

Lawmakers react to bin Laden's death
ALBANY -- At the State Capitol Monday, lawmakers talked about the "sobering" news of Osama bin Laden's death and said it offered a "measure" of peace and justice.
At the Association for a Better New York breakfast in Manhattan, keynote speaker Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he wasn't celebrating a death as much as he was honoring the memory of the nearly 3,000 people who died on 9/11.
It was all part of a careful dance on the part of powerful New Yorkers to acknowledge the seismic event without appearing to gloat.
"It is a delicate walk for public officials," said Douglas Muzzio, a political science professor at Baruch College. "You don't see the president fist-pumping and high-fiving. . . . And I think most public officials are reacting the way the president reacted in his speech."
The political community is "celebrating a major accomplishment," said Marist College pollster Lee Miringoff. "They don't want to appear to go too far, too fast."
That thought shaded nearly all political reactions.
"This is a day of complex emotions: jubilation and reflection," Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said. "Justice has been done. A murderer has been stopped . . . At the same time, you see people crying. It's a time of reflection. You think back to 9/11 and it comes rushing back. And the pictures come rushing back."
"The sober reflection for me," the governor added, "is that this [the fight against terrorism] is not going to end."
State Sen. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), who has served in Iraq and is a captain in the Army Reserves, said President Barack Obama set the right tone in refraining from gloating. "It would have been inappropriate," he said.
Schumer, when asked about celebrations of a death, said the reaction is about sending a message to other would-be terrorists whom that they won't prevail. And it is about a step toward closure for families of 9/11 victims.
"Many of those who lost people said to me they think of bin Laden every day, how that evil man is alive," he said. "That troubling, anxiety-producing thought does not cross their minds ever again."
A top New York City official who asked not to be quoted by name recalled how during Passover it is taught that when Egyptian armies were drowning in the sea, there were songs of jubilation, but God chided them for singing praises as his creatures were perishing.
But the practical matter, the official added, is "what this will lead to -- if we are going to see incidents here."

Finally, the house is for sale. Its official. We've been in the "temporary house" for what, eight years now? We talk about moving on every year, and never have we listed the house for sale. We came close last year, finding out the day before signing that we were expecting again, which put a hold on things. Until now. We are ready. Ready to roll!
Anybody want to buy a house?
By the way, baby number 6 was born back in February...sorry for not letting you know!

CMS systems make the starting price for sites insanely low.
… Custom wordpress sites which have unlimited pages begin at very low rates. Literally prices start with the design of one PHP page. The system places the content created by you into this page …
… Wsmithdesign is very sensitive to prices and is constantly looking at how to save time and be more competitive …
Creating a Custom WordPress Home Page Template.
WordPress allows any page to be configured as the home page. the home page is set under under "Settings > Reading"
To create a new template for the page copy page.php … modifying a minimalistic page is the quickest way to create the page … to a new file name homepage.php and modify the beginning of the file like so:
* Template Name: New-Home-Page
* The "Template Name:" bit above allows this to be selectable
* from a dropdown menu on the edit page screen.
get_header(); ?>
Reactivate the template and under the edit page
You will see New-Home-Page in the dropdown. Customize the template page (homepage.php) as desired.
Drupal 7 dropcrm (client relationship management)
dropcrm for drupal 7 has been released.
The mission of the DropCRM project is to support various projects in the Drupal Community which will provide the building blocks necessary to create a CRM system with Drupal 7, and to package those tools together in one or more distributions pre-configured for specific use cases. Closely related projects include Profile 2, Drupal Commerce, and Features module.
Not everyone needs a client relationship management system or they may not need it yet although would like to have it in the future. Drupal is ideal for pragmatic enhancements where features can be added as needed.
Adding drupal to an existing site allowing for existing content.
One of the reasons you may want to do this is because there is already a site in place which drupal is being added to, and this site content does not need to be rework.
Another is because you want to add non drupal content to a drupal powered site for whatever reason. Maybe because of the shopping cart application. Or to build a web 2.0 around existing content. or a CRM system.
Another is because you want the home page to be a static page.
The reason really does not matter, it can be done and done without a great deal of reprogramming, actually no reprogramming at all.
On a standard LAMP web host the .htaccess sets what file will be called as the default page. After an installation of drupal .htaccess will have this configuration line in the .htaccess file.
DirectoryIndex index.php
Change it to.

Washington, D.C. – December 9, 2015 –The Architects Foundation, along with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), today issued its first progress report of the AIA's Design and Health Research Consortium. The consortium helps translate research on design's influence on public health into architectural practice for policymakers, design and public health professionals and the general public.
"Academia is always where basic research into any field grabs a foot-hold before inevitably thrusting itself into the commercial marketplace," said Sherry-Lea Bloodworth Botop, Executive Director of the Architects Foundation. "Such is the case with the architecture profession's influence on public health."
The 2015 report (link) http://architectsfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2015_Progress_Report_Design_and_Health_Research_Consortium_v2.pdf
covers consortium activities across a spectrum of research issues where design contributes to public health, from the effects of indoor temperatures on sleep deprivation and depression (University of Florida) to a "best design" competition for a mobile isolation treatment unit to combat the Ebola epidemic (Texas A&M University's Center for Health Systems and Design.)
The issuance of the report comes as the Architects Foundation today also announced six new members of the consortium. http://architectsfoundation.org/?p=972
"This AIA report documents the real-world impacts and applications that design can have on public health," Bloodworth Botop said. "It will serve as the basis for our consortium fund-raising efforts on this issue in 2016 and is required reading for anyone preparing for the single biggest trend affecting the built environment."
The major 2015 accomplishments of the eleven charter members of the AIA Design and Health Research Consortium include:
- Garnering almost $12 million for research connecting design and health;
- Development and offering of more than 90 university courses on design and health, preparing the next generation of leaders for the design-health movement;
- Holding 140 public events, including at AIA chapters nationwide, connecting almost 2,000 design professionals and community members with design solutions to foster public health.
"Consortium members are influencing both architectural education and practice," said Michael Monti, Executive Director of ACSA. "Their work is leading to exciting connections between design and health that are fostering true change in both fields."
The AIA has organized its design and health initiative around six evidence-based approaches that architects can use at the building and urban scale. These six approaches—environmental quality, natural systems, physical activity, safety, sensory environments, and social connectedness—recognize that the physical environment creates health opportunities and facilitates positive health behaviors.
See these six approaches to achieving health through built environment design & policy here:

Man lied to dying wife for years about being an SAS hero when he was just a lorry driver
A MAN who lied to his dying wife for 15 years and told her he was an SAS hero actually was just a lorry driver.
Mark Izzard said he was in the SAS. He wasn't
Despite NEVER serving in the armed forces, Mark Izzard, 44, lied to his family that he saw combat in Iraq and Northern Ireland and posed as a paratrooper with an air gun for his Facebook profile.
He told his stepchildren Jemma and Danny Gyoury that he had been kidnapped and tortured and even had a metal knee cap where it had been blasted off.
But Izzard, of Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, has never served a day of his life in the forces.
The former lorry driver was exposed by Facebook group The Walter Mitty Hunters Club after he posted a series of fake pictures of him pretending to be in action.
He claimed that in photos posted online he was firing a mortar in Bosnia and parachuting over Hankley Common, in Surrey.
Mark Izzard told his late wife, Tracey, he was in the SAS when he was really a lorry driver
But Private Lee Crichton, 53, who lives in the North West, discovered Izzard blasted the round in the USA and had just been skydiving over Germany.
Mr Lee, who served in the 4th Battalion, Parachute Regiment between 1980 and 1988, said: "I think it's wrong in every way for someone to impersonate people like this.
"It's very bizarre."
Mark Izzard pretended his skydiving was part of SAS training
Commercial administrator Tracey Izzard died in North Middlesex Hospital, in Enfield, north London, in 2012 aged 39 just a month after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Ms Gyoury, 21, an accounts administrator at a cake supplier, said her family had believed her stepfather was an SAS hero since she was four.
She said: "There were medals on display and Army memorabilia in the house.
"If anything went wrong she would say it's because he has been in the Army and blame it on that.
"She would excuse things and say, 'He's been through a lot'.
"He said he was in the SAS and claimed he had been shot in the knee cap and his knee exploded and he had a metal knee.
"And he claimed a scar on his head was where a bullet scathed him.
"He would say he has seen his mates blown up - horrible things. And he claimed he had been tortured.
"It made me think what mum would have done if she was alive. It would have been very embarrassing for her. It's a big thing to lie about. She wouldn't have wanted to be with him."
Mark Izzard never served
Mr Gyoury, 22, of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, added: "He said to me he was in the First Gulf War.
"He said he had been blindfolded and put in the back of a lorry and taken out into the back of a forest and chucked out and broke his legs and to survive had to crawl back to civilisation.
"He said that at one point he was a sniper and there was a terrorist that had taken hold of an aeroplane and there was a hostage situation. He said he was overseeing it through his sniper but didn't have to shoot anyone.
"I always believed what I was being told growing up with it you just believe it.
"I felt sorry for mum. Basically, their whole relationship was a lie."
It started off having a f*** about in the pub with a bird years ago and it sort of stuck.
Speaking outside his home Izzard, who has two children from a previous marriage and is now engaged, initially claimed the army lies were originally said to a "bird" in the pub.
He said: "It started off having a f*** about in the pub with a bird years ago and it sort of stuck."
But when asked whether he lied to his ex-wife who has since died of cancer, he revealed: "That was her involved in the first place, that's who it was."
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed it has no record of Mark's involvement in the forces.
A spokeswoman said: "We have no record of this individual serving in the Army."

We made so many delicious Hershey cookie recipes. We loved each one of them so we made a cookie label for those specific cookies.
We also realize that you might have your own amazing recipes and other things to label for the holidays so we made blank ones too.
There is space on each label to write in whatever you need to. I have to admit that a little hole punch would turn these into great gift tags and they would look phenomenal on top of a jar.
I attached my labels using a little bit of ribbon and tape.

But these temperatures I don't mind, it has been constantly around mid to higher 20's with occasional hikes into the 30's. One day it hit 36c, that was hot, especially for my fair celtic skin. Still I can just about cope with the heat, and I know all my friends back in UK will have no sympathy for me given the weather over there in the last few month, but it is the humidity which I find harder to tolerate.
Today is a prime example, overcast, high 20's with a 90% humidity, YUK! 32c forecast for later in the week, and still overcast.
One thing I have realised is I have to take in lots of liquids otherwise I can feel my energy draining away. I now never leave home without a bottle of water in my bag.
However when at home one of my favourite thirst quenchers is water melon juice. I had drunk it several time in cafes and restaurants and found it the perfect drink to quench that thirst. It's not too sweet, and full of goodness. Simple to make just a case of juicing the melon flesh. I have a juicing attachment on my liquidiser but I'm thinking you could probably just blend it and strain it .
Yesterday I decided to buy a whole one instead of my usual half melon. I was a different market from usual, a real local place located down an alley close to the apartment, and a very recent find. It was cheaper here than usual so I was very happy. But you can imagine my surprise when I cut into it and there was no nice juicy red fruit but instead a nice juicy looking yellow flesh. I had never seen this. It tasted the same, only the colour was different.
So now I am enjoying my yellow watermelon juice, just as delicious but I am wondering if the nutrients are the same as I am always aware of red fruits being better for you. Anyway I don't really mind it is quite nice to enjoy the variety of drinks, and you know what they say, "variety is the spice of life"
As I look at the photos of the juice a thought has come to mind! With a splash of vodka, a squeeze of lime juice and a handful of crushed ice these could be a delicious summer cocktail to serve. Mmm!
Looks like I know what I'm going to be serving my friends throughout the summer. Cheers!

The Wichita Beacon, Saturday, July 16, 1921, pg. 2
Died: July 15, 1921
Civil War Veterans In
Col. R. T. Bean, aged 79, for many years in the real estate business here, died at 2:45 a. m. today at his home 342 North Lawrence Avenue. Heart disease was given as the cause of death.
He was stricken ill at 6 o'clock last night while on his way to the rooming house where he lived. He sat down to rest on a curb near his home. John Puls passed by and saw Col. Bean was ill and helped him home. He was unable to get upstairs to his room so he was given a room downstairs and a physician was called. Shortly after midnight it was seen that he was getting worse and W. R. Dulaney and Joseph Brubacher, old friends were sent for. He recognized them after they arrived and was conscious almost up to the time of his death.
Col. Bean's wife died twenty years ago and is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery. Three children survive. They are Richard, president of the Louisville National Bank of Louisville, Ky., Robert, who lives in Texas, and Mary, who lives in North Carolina. He has no relatives living in the city, but his children all lived here formerly.
Col. Bean was a member of Gen. John Morgan's famous cavalry, which was the terror of the Union forces west of the mountains during the war. He always attended reunions of the Confederate Veterans.
Col. Bean was president of the Southern Society which held annual meetings here in May. Every May he used to send for country hams back to his old home in Mt. Sterling, Ky.
Prior to coming to Wichita Col. Bean was in the wholesale grocery business at Mount Sterling. He came here in 1886 to engage in real estate business. For a time he was in the commission business, at the stock yards with the firm of Bean and Bleakmore, but returned to the live stock business.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church.

Writer Alex Garland (28 Days Later…, Dredd, Halo) makes his directorial debut with Ex Machina (2015). This new film is a sci-fi drama thriller so I am already sold on that. I just hope Alex Garland hits the mark. A24 will release the movie on April 10, 2015 with Universal International Pictures to distribute the film internationally. Ex Machina (2015) stars Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander.
New York, NY, OCTOBER 29, 2014 - A24 has acquired U.S. rights to Alex Garland's directorial debut EX MACHINA. Garland also wrote the film, which stars a trio of rising stars--Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, and Alicia Vikander. The film was produced by DNA's Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich. Scott Rudin and Eli Bush executive produced the film along with former Film4 head Tessa Ross. A24 will release the film April 10, 2015. Universal International Pictures is distributing the film internationally.
"Alex Garland is already one of the most brilliant and distinctive writers working today," says A24. "Ex Machina marks the beginning of an exciting new step for Alex the director, and we are thrilled to help bring his provocative vision to US audiences."
Alex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine, makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, EX MACHINA. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test--charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan's latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated, seductive--and more deceptive--than the two men could have imagined.

Should all personnel working in a hospital/care environment be required to receive an influenza vaccination each year to help prevent the spread of flu or should it be left up to the individual to make the decision for themselves?
sort by best latest
It's my opinion that if someone chooses to work in a healthcare environment (hospital, medical or dental clinic, nursing home or other long-term care facility) where there will be so much interaction with other people, YES, he or she should be required to receive a flu shot every year unless allergy to eggs (used for producing vaccine) can be proven.
There is so much misinformation about flu vaccines, and I can't tell you how many people I've heard insisting that that they don't get the vaccine because, "...it gives me the flu." NO, IT DOESN'T! Some people do have a very minor reaction that is equivalent to a light cold, but speaking as someone who nearly died with the type of influenza that has killed many people (think back to the 1918 pandemic that decimated families, which could happen again with some of the newer flu strains), it's pure rubbish to claim the flu shot gives anyone fullblown flu. It just does not do that, and using a mild reaction as an excuse not to get an injection is just that--an excuse.
I get the flu shot every year since the last time I missed getting it (13 years ago) and was subsequently incredibly sick with "real" flu. True influenza makes one so ill it's almost impossible to move. The entire body aches severely, there is high fever and usually a cough that lingers. The sufferer is so ill that he or she may become dehydrated or, if living alone, not be taken care of properly. It's really dangerous for the elderly, very small children and anyone with a compromised immune system.
By the way, this year there are two vaccines, one of which packs a double punch against more than one type of flu strain. I asked for it, got it and couldn't even tell I'd had the injection. Not even a bit of soreness at the injection site.
So I think that any healthcare worker who doesn't want to get the flu vaccine is selfish and not really dedicated to healthcare. (By the way, I'm of the opinion that anyone who works in the healthcare field strictly for a job and paycheck, and not because he or she really cares about taking care of the sick, does not belong there!) I can say this because I know many doctors, nurses and other healthcare personnel who are truly dedicated and show it every day. (I've also met more than my share of the other type, unfortunately, three of whom were arrogant surgeons who left me in worse condition than they found me. That's another reason I wish the U.S. had a national healthcare service so that people like that didn't choose the profession just to get wealthy and gain prestige. That's why there are too many of this latter type--usually surgeons or other specialists, although I've known some very dedicated surgeons and specialists as well. It depends on the individual, as do most issues.) Sorry I got on my soapbox and got carried away!
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
My initial thoughts are similar to yours Jaye, I feel like it's part of the responsibility of health workers to get the flu shot. In fact, as I get older I feel it's everyone's responsibility to get it (if they can), health worker or not.

Roosevelt Auto Body Collision 1 University
Review for Roosevelt Auto Body Collision 1 University
Phillip J. on 05/23/2014
Spoke with Pat. She said the facility did a really nice job and her vehicle looks very nice. The facility kept her and her husband apprised of the repair schedule during the whole process. She would like to mention that during the repairs the facility forgot to deactivate the air bag sensor light. She will have to go back for a return visit so that is something the facility could remember to check.

One evening, just a couple months ago, Reuben was walking near downtown Silver City and before he knew it, he was attacked by several men and a woman.
In an attempt to steal his backpack, they kicked him, hit him with a bat, tried to stab him and left him in a pool of blood, unconscious with multiple injuries.
The following two weeks were spent in the hospital and when he was released, he came down to the Silver City Gospel Mission for help.
As part of our mission to rescue lives, our staff began to minister to his physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Seeds of hope and promise of a future are being planted in Reuben through our hospitality.
Reuben found himself on the streets of Silver City after coming here from Seattle to help his sister through a bitter divorce. But alcohol, drugs and rage caused him to lose favor with his family and he was forced to leave his sister's home.
When he came to the Mission, he put his head down, followed the rules and reflected on what had gone wrong in his life.
Reuben enjoys the security the Mission provides and says "it provides a buffer from the street." While he sometimes feels embarrassed to be at the Mission, he is grateful that he has a safe place to go during the day and likes to lend a hand.
Further he says, "I really like the Bible studies. They help and for the past two days I have been starting to pray on my own."
Reuben believes "all this crazy stuff" happened for a reason. "I am here for a reason," he says. "This is where I am supposed to be; this is a chance to move up. Another thing I like about this place is that it gives me time to think, to clear my mind and to pray."
Reuben is at a major turning point in his life. He is discovering that peace comes from Jesus Christ. He is examining his faith and he is talking to God. He is discovering the satisfaction of serving others. Day by day we have the privilege of planting seeds of hope and seeing him grow and become whole.
Jesus talks about this in Luke 13 where he tells the story of the farmer planting seed. Some, he says, "some fell along the path…some fell on rocky places…some among thorns…some fell on good soil…" In Reuben's case the seed has fallen on good soil and it is beginning to grow and will "bring forth fruit" as we help him.
