The Wisdom of Paid Time Off
A conversation with employee-wellness expert Bob Merberg reveals that paid leave-a topic President Obama brought up in his State of the Union in January as he pushed for passage of the Healthy Families Act-is not only beneficial for workers and their families, but good for employers too.
By Carol Harnett >
The day before President Obama's 2015 State of the Union address, the White House again displayed its social-media prowess. Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president, wrote a LinkedIn post entitled: Why We Think Paid Leave Is a Worker's Right, Not a Privilege. The article was a pre-emptive strike designed to enlist the support for the Healthy Families Act by both employers and employees.
After the SOTU, I found myself in a series of exchanges with Bob Merberg, Paychex's employee wellness manager, who I believe possesses one of the best minds in the employer space when it comes to dissecting myriad topics around employee health and well-being. Even though paid leave is not his specialty, Bob is interested in how the conditions of work affect employee health, and he has a way of considering facts and researching issues that brings a different viewpoint to the discussion.
What follows is the transcript of the conversation Bob and I had. It started with paid leave and took its twists and turns from there.
< Carol Harnett >: Thanks, Bob, for agreeing to vet this topic with me. The United States is the only high-income country not to require paid leave for workers. My tendency often leans toward letting the market guide employers toward doing the right thing for business and employees. But we haven't made much progress here. Do you think it's time for a legislated mandate?
Bob Merberg: Thank you for including me in this important conversation, Carol. Before declaring a mandate, I want to know the market had the opportunity to do the right thing, fully equipped with relevant data. Employers haven't been well educated about the advantages paid leave may deliver to their employees and business results-especially the paid sick leave the president advocated.
A few breaths after championing paid leave in his SOTU address, the president said: "We'll still need more employers to see beyond next quarter's earnings and recognize that investing in their workforce is in their company's long-term interest." For me, that was the more salient point.
CH: Great pick up, Bob. I feel as though there's been no more confusing time than now for HR executives to discern how to best invest in their employees.
Many employers focused on employee health via wellness and prevention initiatives only to find themselves caught up in a wellness-doesn't-work controversy.
We've also seen employers struggle with how to handle all forms of paid time off, including moving from a vacation/sick-time model to PTO to unlimited PTO to paid leave to sabbaticals.
BM: Conventional wellness programs may have about a 10 percent influence on employee health-which is meaningful, but not enough to meet employers' expectations. Employers need to act on changes they-as employers-can make to support workforce health.
Offering paid leave, especially paid sick leave, to attend to personal or family health, is one step employers can take to support employee health and overall well-being. Of course, most large and many smaller employers already offer paid sick leave.
Employers that struggled to craft PTO policies oppose legislation because they believe they'll have to recreate their procedures. In Connecticut, the first state to enact a paid-sick-leave law, most employers were already in compliance before the law passed. A follow-up study showed the sick-leave law had little or no impact on employers' business operations or their bottom lines.
CH: There are two things that come to mind for me concerning the study you referenced. The Center for Economic and Policy Research investigators found some Connecticut employers reported benefits from paid sick leave. Fifteen percent of these companies cited improvements in employee productivity, 19 percent saw a reduction in the number of sick employees who came to work, and 30 percent noted improved employee morale.
The discussion point I see missing from the analyses of the Connecticut law, and similar state statutes, is the positive impact on employees.
BM: Great observation. There's plenty of reason to believe paid-sick-leave policies have a positive effect on the health and well-being of employees and their families. One study estimated 7 million additional people got sick during the 2009-2010 H1N1 flu pandemic due to contagious employees going to work sick. Indeed, a University of Chicago survey found workers who don't have paid sick leave are 1.5 times more likely to go to work with a contagious illness, like the flu, compared with those who have paid sick leave. The survey data also indicated that 20 percent of employees without paid sick leave used hospital emergency departments as a substitute for seeing their doctor, compared with 10 percent of workers who had paid sick leave.
Lack of paid sick leave has even been associated with higher rates of occupational injury and reduced access to preventive care.
The American Public Health Association reminds us that paid leave can mitigate the physical, emotional and financial stress that go hand-in-hand with life-changing health events in the family, such as pregnancy, childbirth, diagnosis of a serious disease, or death of a loved one.
Ultimately, stress is the undercurrent for all employees experiencing work/life conflict. In these cases, paid time off-and not necessarily stress management or resiliency programs-may be a solution.
CH: I can't agree enough about the benefits paid leave brings for both workers and employers. But, as we noted in the beginning of our discussion, working Americans have limited or no paid leave available to them.
Working consumers state that the three things they value most are their health, their income and their homes. Approximately 80 percent of them insure their homes and health (largely due to regulatory or other requirements), yet only about 30 percent insure their income-despite the fact that most of us will experience some type of illness, injury or surgery that will put us out of work for a period of time.
I struggle with how to tell employers and employees this story and motivate them to take action-particularly because paid leave isn't an option for many.
BM: You're hitting on a lot of key points, Carol. Ultimately, I think we have to tease out how different types of leave affect different types of businesses and workers. Most American workers- about 65 percent- have paid sick leave, but most lower-wage and part-time workers don't. We need to understand this gap, and also how small and medium-sized employers are affected by mandates.
In contrast to sick leave, paid family leave-to care for a new child or an ailing family member over a period of several weeks-is uncommon in the United States, outside of California, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
I'd like to hear more about what you mean by "insuring income," and how it intersects with the topic of paid leave.
CH: Let me go back to one point you made first, Bob, concerning paid sick leave. While more than half of Americans have access to paid sick days, the number of days available to a worker per year varies by organization (the national average is eight). Yet, 5 percent to 10 percent of employees-depending upon the company-leave the workplace every year due to a sickness, surgery or injury. The median time out of work for someone who experiences a short-term disability is six weeks. When I talk about "insuring income," I am referring to people who have a short- and/or long-term-disability policy.
According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics post released in February 2015, only 39 percent of employees were covered by a STD policy in 2014 (33 percent were covered by a LTD policy). Paid statutory disability leave is only available to employees in Hawaii, California, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Puerto Rico. What happens to the 61 percent of workers who leave the workplace for more than eight days and don't have access to a STD or statutory policy?
I've written before about the number of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck. The Council for Enterprise Development reports that 44 percent of Americans are living with less than $5,887 in savings for a family of four. And since 56 percent of Americans currently have subprime credit, Time's Christopher Matthews once wrote: " . . . if emergencies arise, many Americans are forced to resort to high-interest debt from credit cards or payday loans."
Combine to that the gap in not having income-protection insurance with high-deductible health plans, and many American workers could become financially devastated by even a short-term illness.
BM: That's great data, Carol. You've really raised my awareness about the importance of short- and long-term disability insurance. Follow-up question: Is there reason to believe that employees put off necessary care, such as surgery, because they don't have disability insurance?
CH: I'm not aware of any studies that looked at the issue of delayed medical treatment because an employee did not have disability insurance. However, the Commonwealth Fund reported in a November 2014 study that about 66 million people in the United States delayed or put off medical treatment for cost reasons in the prior year, and approximately 64 million people experienced difficulty paying their medical bills over that same period.
Disability insurance provides employees who are unable to work with an income stream, which allows them to pay for life-impacting expenses such as healthcare and healthcare deductibles. Without this coverage, many workers would struggle with seeking treatment.
Your question makes me realize there's a research opportunity to look at whether employees who have STD/LTD policies experience better healthcare utilization and health outcomes than workers who do not. It would be worthwhile to also consider how these potential effects impact business outcomes.
BM: I agree about the research opportunity. Employers invest in trying to change employee behavior, while sometimes failing to take the measures within their own control to genuinely support well-being. Research likely will find that providing STD/LTD are among these measures.
Certainly, limiting overtime, rewarding effort, facilitating social support, and giving employees voice in their jobs and their organizations all are on a list of proven levers that employers can shift to support employee well-being. Paid leave belongs on this list, too.

THIBODAUX — About 27 girls from Thibodaux schools traveled to Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in Saint Gabriel Tuesday to learn about prison life from inmates.
THIBODAUX — About 27 girls from Thibodaux schools traveled to Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women in Saint Gabriel Tuesday to learn about prison life from inmates.
"It was very eye-opening," said Hahreante Coleman, junior at Thibodaux High School. "A lot of people need to see this in order to know what not to do."
The students from East Thibodaux Middle, West Thibodaux Middle and Thibodaux High were the first to participate in the program, Assistant Police Chief Calvin Cooks said.
The program is an extension of one Cooks began in 2002 that takes students to Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. This time, however, it was all girls.
They toured the facility and listened to two inmates, both serving long sentences, speak about the dangers of making bad choices.
"A lot of girls don't think girls go to prison," Cooks said. "We want to show them that they have to make the right choices."
Cooks said it is especially important to bring girls on this sort of trip given the increasing trouble he's seen with girls fighting over boyfriends and on Myspace.com, a social networking website.
"There's a lot more of a problem with girls than there is with boys," Cooks said.
Helen Travis, deputy warden for the state Correctional Institute for Women said they host tours frequently to give girls a glimpse of prison life.
"It's a wake-up call," Travis said. "You come in and the grounds are beautiful, all well-manicured. But looks can be deceiving. Once those gates close behind you, you have to obey the rules."
For 13-year-old West Thibodaux Middle student Kori Leblanc, the lesson was depressingly clear.
"I felt sad for them," Leblanc said. "It was pretty on the outside but the people inside, they didn't like it. It's all about making the right choices."
Cooks said the trip, which costs about $1,000, depends on public support. It is paid for sponsors, including Mayor Charles Caillouet, the Rev. Richmond Boyd, a Lafourche Parish School Board member, and Thibodaux residents Edward Hills and James Bergeron.

In the Beginning
Written on parchment and papyrus and including what are considered the oldest surviving copies of the books of the Old Testament, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the Holy Land beginning in 1947. On Friday, for the first time in 50 years, the Dead Sea Scrolls will be on view in Chicago. The exhibition at the Field Museum through June 11 comprises portions of 15 scrolls, among them 5 that have never previously left Israel, as well as associated artifacts and other material. Information: (800) 343-5354.
Man of Influence
The first art critic to establish his reputation by championing the work of his contemporaries was John Ruskin (1819-1900), who began with J. M. W. Turner in his 1843 book ''Modern Painters.'' Besides being a British critic of art, culture and society, Ruskin was an artist himself. Beginning on Thursday and continuing through May 29, the Tate Gallery in London will present ''Ruskin, Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites.'' This exhibition, assembled from all over the world, consists of more than 250 works, including masterpieces by Turner, Millais, Rossetti, Burne-Jones and Ruskin. Information: 011-44-1-71-887-8008.
Literary Light
At the National Portrait Gallery in London a photograph of the British writer Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) outsells all others. In the nearly 60 years since her death, Woolf, author of novels like ''Jacob's Room'' (1922), ''Mrs. Dalloway'' (1925), ''Orlando'' (1928) and ''The Waves'' (1931) has attracted increasing popularity and esteem. At 8 on Thursday night at Town Hall in Manhattan, ''Virginia Woolf: Writing Life'' will bring together writers and critics in the latest in a series of forums presented by the PEN American Center and The New Yorker. Among the participants reading from Woolf will be the novelists Mary Gordon, Michael Cunningham, Cynthia Ozick and Roxana Robinson; the novelist and essayist Susan Sontag; the critic Elaine Showalter; the journalist Janet Malcolm; and the actresses Zoe Caldwell and Fiona Shaw. Information: (212) 334-1660, extension 109.
Of Love and Death
More than 2,000 years after her death, she still inspires. And the latest to be inspired by her is Ben Stevenson, the artistic director of the Houston Ballet, whose full-length work chronicles the life and times of Cleopatra. In its premiere engagement, ''Cleopatra'' will play seven performances from Thursday through March 19 at the Wortham Center in Houston. With Lauren Anderson, Barbara Bears and Dawn Scannell scheduled to dance the title role, the first act of the ballet depicts Cleopatra's liaison with Julius Caesar. In the second act the love story of Cleopatra and Marc Antony is played out against a background of political intrigue. Information: (800) 828-2787.

Tech journalist Evan Bass, popularly known as @evleaks on Twitter, is at it again. The man who has for years leaked accurate details about upcoming devices claims the Apple iPhone 7 will be released September 16th, a Friday.
This should be in line with Apple's tradition of making the iPhone available on the day before a weekend in September — a tradition that started in 2012 with the iPhone 5. This time, though, it looks as though the company is dropping the device earlier than usual. Last year, the iPhone 6S was released on September 25.
If we have to guess, this may be in answer to its closest rival, Samsung, launching the Galaxy Note 7 earlier than usual as well.
Just to clarify, this refers to the retail release, not the launch event. To be even more specific, it should happen on Friday, Sept. 16th.
— Evan Blass (@evleaks) July 23, 2016
The iPhone 7, or whatever Apple is calling it this year, is rumored to be more of an evolution than a revolution. What seems to be images and videos of the device show that it looks the same as the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6, save for a bigger, more protruding rear camera; an extra speaker; and the absence of antenna lines on the back.
The iPhone 7 is also said to be lacking a 3.5mm headphone jack, but to make the transition more seamless, Deutsche Bank says the upcoming smartphone will ship with a Lightning-to-3.5mm dongle.
If true, then Apple's move to adopt the same iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 design for the 2016 model strays from its practice of changing the look of its device every other year. Could it be because it plans to make 2017, the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, extra special? Guess we'll have to wait for one more year then.
But for now, you can watch our iPhone 6S video review below.

WILLIS — Friendswood tennis coach David Cook felt all along he had the best mixed doubles team in Region III-4A, the players just had to prove it.
And Joann Karam and Justin Vu did.
Karam and Vu scored an impressive 6-1, 6-2 victory over No. 1-seeded Tomball Memorial on Wednesday in the finals of the Region III-4A Championships at Blythe Calfee Tennis Center to earn a spot at the state tournament.
"It was fun winning it and proving it," Cook said. "Every match Joann and Justin played today could have easily been 6-1, 6-1 or 6-0, 6-0 because they played that well."
Karam and Vu, the No. 3 seeds, left little doubt which team was the best, starting the day with a 6-2, 6-4 semifinals win over No. 2 Montgomery. In the final, Karam and Vu cruised past Michelle Walker and Clark Rivers to earn a trip to the state tournament April 28-29 in Austin.
"I was really happy for Joann and Justin to play well and live up to that expectation," Cook said. "They dominated in the final."
For Karam, this will be her second state appearance in mixed doubles in three years, having done so with Kent Tollette as a sophomore, eventually advancing to the semifinals that year.
The Mustangs' other team hopeful for state, Brittany and Kaitlyn Vu, fell one win shy of reaching its goal in girls doubles.
The Vus, seeded No. 3, lost to No. 2 Tomball Memorial in the semifinals, 6-3, 7-5, then beat Georgetown in the third-place match, 6-3, 7-6 (10-8).
On Monday, Georgetown upset Friendswood's other girls doubles entry, No. 4-seeded LB Labra and Michelle Ngo, 2-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7-5).
"The two best teams in the (girls) doubles advanced," Cook said. "It's just unfortunate LB and Michelle lost like they did. The only time they trailed in the third-set tiebreaker was when it was 6-5 Georgetown.
"But I'm really proud of all our kids, especially the ones going to state."
Chargers, Wildcats finish fourth
DEER PARK — Both Clear Springs and Clear Creek had to settle for fourth place at the Region III-5A Championships at Deer Park High School.
The Chargers' No. 4-seeded Melody Duong and Haley Voumard eventually dropped a three-set heartbreaker to No. 3-seeded Cinco Ranch in the girls doubles third-place match.
The Wildcats' No. 5-seeded Sophie Baillargeon and Dilan Behrle suffered the same fate against No. 2-seeded Fort Bend Austin in mixed doubles.
Duong and Voumard first lost to No. 2 Spring Branch Memorial in the semifinals, 6-3, 6-3. Then in the third-place match, the Chargers lost a 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 heartbreaker to Cinco Ranch.
"We definitely had a plan for them in the first set," Clear Springs co-head coach Joyce Thomas said. "We played picture perfect, going crosscourt and chipping at them. But in that second set, (Cinco Ranch) played flawless."
Added Chargers co-head coach Gregg Parker, "We've got a lot of hope for Melody and Haley since they're only a freshman and sophomore."
Clear Creek's Baillargeon and Behrle won the first set in their third-place match with Fort Bend Austin but relinquished the next two for a disappointing 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 finish.
Earlier, in the semifinals, Baillargeon and Behrle lost to No. 1 Lamar, 6-0, 6-1.
"Against Fort Bend Austin, Sophie and Dilan came out repeating their performance from Tuesday," Clear Creek coach Patrick Marrie said. "Sophie was hitting solid, and Dilan was playing well at the net.
"We got a good start in the third set and had a chance to go up 3-1. But we were never able to get that separation. Give (Austin) credit, they played well in the third set. The better team won today."

Now when I made this simple card I just couldn't work out if this vintage lady was a sweet gal next door or a vixen by the look on her face.She has dreamy eyes but saucy red lips.
I have a draw full of made backgrounds and while I can't sit too long I thought I'd make several easy cards for friends birthdays this year as I missed so many last year.The next week when I start my 2 weeks off I'll get stuck into some jewellery making and do my 24 pages for an international paper bag book swap I have been invited to participate in.Looking forward to having time off work I can tell you.

The Canadian army found that users learn more effectively and efficiently if they are initially taught the basics and then practice extensively in simulated battle conditions with the back-up of expert mentors.
The lesson for business is that providing a course to users is just the beginning of skills support and development. Companies and other organizations spend millions on new software applications and then provide a bit of training (if that) and then expect their employees to get the most out of the apps.
Lesson 5 Trainers and mentors must have practical experience in doing the tasks they are teaching, and must understand the environment in which the trainees will carry them out.
This seems like a truism, but its odd how often it is forgotten when providing training. I myself got trained to use the command and control software by two individuals. They knew all of the details about every single functionality and feature of the command and control application they were teaching.
Unfortunately, they knew next to nothing about how the programs were meant to be employed in a headquarters environment for actual military operations. Every time a student would ask them why a certain function existed or what it was supposed to be used for, the instructors simply couldnt answer. The net result was wasted time and money for training.
The implication for business is that older, and even semi-retired, employees could be gainfully employed to help younger workers adapt to the new realities of a digitized workplace. This may appear counterintuitive at first. Whatever happened to old dogs not able to learn new tricks? The reality is, in my experience, people with extensive work experience often make the best teachers and trainers.
Perhaps this stems from their ability to separate theory from practice. Maybe it is also a function of motivation. Whatever the reason, in this day of increasing competition for competent people, doesnt it make sense to invest in everyones skill development by leveraging the knowledge and experience of a few key individuals who have disproportionate experience and the ability to pass it on?
Lesson 6 User-friendliness and intuitiveness are overblown. Aim for simplicity instead.
When the initial version of the Canadian armys command and control software came out, some very basic tasks could take anywhere up to 40 or 50 steps to carry out. Obviously, for an exhausted staff officer working in a field headquarters at 3 A.M., this type of complication is completely unacceptable. As a result, the people who were developing the training packages and instruction manuals determined that they would only teach procedures that were limited to a maximum of six steps.

ipod doesn't free up space
Hi guys,
i have found out that deleting songs from ipod doesn't free up space. I am using FC17 and gtkpod 2.1.2.
I was looking for a .Trash directory from the mount point, but can`t found it.
gtkpod doesn`t have a trash folder.
any ideas you guys!
thanks in advance
I looked around for you and did some reading-
I read that some ipad's and ipods have a limited storage capacity.
Deleting songs should of freed up space and in your case it didn't-
I wonder if there is something being kept in a registry file on your ipod that is preventing space from being freed?
Depending on who made your ipod you may be able to find the manufacturer's website to be of some help.
6 Tips to Free Up Tons of Storage Space on iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
Here's a video where a young man used an application to free up space on his ipod.
Here's 4 steps to free up space on your ipod on this webpage
Hope this helps.
thank you guys, but i wonder how to doing it by using linux FC17; may i install iTunes ?
is there a Trash folder to delete inside the ipod ?
thanks in advance
You can ask a fedora questions here:
There could be a trash folder within the ipod but I'm not sure how to check that-
If your ipod's an 'Apple' maybe otherwise I'd check in the booklet that the ipod came with.
If not try the manufacturer's website or call the 1-800 number for support.
Your right schneidz; I can see where being told to purchase a mac could come up and go over like a lead balloon-
Scratch that idea-
I did several Google searches to try to help:
How to configure ipod in fedora 17 was one but that only applied to servers, system proxy's and installation documentation.
I don't get why Fedora is not allowing hDUQUE to be able to install his/her iTunes-
You'd think that there is a work around this-
I'll continue to look; perhaps another Linux user has posted and the iTunes were successfully installed-
Anyway I'm not the expert on this as I just started reading the documentation on Fedora 17 today.
Here's 6 steps to follow but you have to install Wine to do it.
(if not installed do)
"apt-get install wine -y" or "yum install wine -y
Here is the tutorial that one of our members here wrote to assist with the ipod:
Hope this helps
this thread lists a few alternate programs that run natively in linux:
Got it-
Didn't know about; gtkpod, rhythmbox, amorok and banshee-
If I find anything in the Fedora documentation that will be a help in regard to this I will post it.
i bit out of date so...
when i was using fedora 8 ,9,11 on my even older "nano shuffle "
rythombox can write to the nano BUT as a mass storage device using a "play list"
using GTK-pod to use the apple database
using apples itoons( see below) program on windows XP would WIPE EVERYTHING that was NOT put on the ipod BY apples tool
just plugging it in ( on XP ) was enough to kill off all the music that was installed on it using Fedora
itoons on wine ??????
use Windows 7 for i-toons ( yes the mis spelling in on purpose)
on fedora gtk-pod is recommended

The term "hoverboard" utilized to bring to head that scene from Back to the Long term II with the great levitating Mattel contraption in the fictional 2015. In the actual 2015, we obtained hoverboards that don't float, but are really self-balancing scooters.
They have been hugely popular for a brief time, but now they are more difficult to appear by in the US after some versions showed a tendency to burst into flames.
Starting quickly, Greatest Purchase will inventory hoverboards for the very first time, and Amazon will market a single yet again. They guarantee these types won't blow up.
The issues with hoverboards in 2015 arrived down to the large lithium-ion batteries. To get any variety of appreciable use out of these kinds of a system, you want a whole lot of electrical power. As we know from telephones, laptops, and other devices, lithium-ion batteries can be very risky if ruined or faulty.
These products obtained so well-known so quick, that some manufacturers did what was low cost and expedient to get devices to industry, which evidently meant employing sub-regular batteries.
To read more about hoverboards for sale visit visit here to know more
Right after a series of incidents in which a charging hoverboard caught fireplace, Amazon advised consumers to dispose of their gadgets and issued refunds. The retailer at some point finished all product sales of all hoverboards.
The US federal government carried out the new UL 2272 protection certification in the wake of individuals fires, and now the initial UL 2272-compliant hoverboards are hitting the marketplace. This is what provides Very best Purchase the self confidence to get into hoverboards for the initial time.
It will be stocking the Swagway Swagtron T1 and T3, which retail for $four hundred-500. They are accessible for pre-buy and will be on sale later this month.
Meanwhile, Amazon is having pre-orders for its first UL 2272-certified device, the Segway miniPRO. This hoverboard charges a whopping $1,000, more than all the competing devices. It has that Segway identify, although. It was making self-balancing scooters before they have been great. Hopefully the new wave of hoverboards demonstrate considerably less explosive.

Adding Archive page to custom post menu in admin
Ok, here is my fantasy world:
The custom post menu has not only "add new", categories, tags etc, but another page called Landing Page (or similar) that basically pulls in my archive-custom-post.php template, but ALSO gives me the chance to add custom fields, editor, etc to that page. There are lots of benefits to this, the two main ones being: 1. It is most intuitive, as users can manage new posts and landing page content all in one place, rather than having to go into Pages and look for the landing page content, which I am pulling in through the template file; and 2. the slug can change, and a user will never be able to delete it, thus saving my page-targeted code from accidentally breaking when the client accidentally (or purposely) deletes that one page.
Can someone help me out with some ideas on how I might achieve this? I have never done plugin dev but am learning more about programming and WP extended features, and I really would like to get this one off the ground as I feel it would be enourmously useful. OR if a plugin that does this already exists, please let me know!
Thanks for any tips!

My name is Vicki Tribovich, founder of Unbridled Hope EAL. My love for people and horses have brought me to where I am now. The Horse and Human relationship. E.A.L is becoming a VERY popular approach in learning . And here are some reasons why.
Horses have an awareness of, and sensitivity to, their surroundings. Horses have as many individual personalities, physical abilities and limitations as the humans they are working with. Most of all, horses give immediate and honest feedback which can show us what we need to change in order to achieve a partnership for goal accomplishment.
Horses don't care about a person's position, power, status, or title. They are acutely perceptive, totally honest and have no hidden agendas. Your EQUINE teammates can very accurately sense your level of trust, confidence, awareness, and interpersonal skills. Horses offer us opportunities to learn what we need to change, in order to succeed in personal and professional relationships.
Horses will give us immediate and honest feedback, showing us exactly what we need to change in order for us to accomplish both professional and personal goals.
Our equine partners can and do act as a mirror in our emotions, reflecting the feelings of the individual participating in the EAL program. Horses don't lie and can't over-think your real emotions, so they recognize incongruence between behavior and emotions telling the true story.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu GI – BJJ GI, Jiu Jitsu Belts, Gear | BJJ Blue Belt
The GI, a term is used for outfits (Gear) in Japanese martial arts system, especially for "JuJutsu." Mainly, dress consist of three items (1. Jacket, 2. Trouser, 3. Belt), which are made of cotton and reinforced material. Colour of a belt is always decided by rank or position of player and format of the game. Belt works well, to keep jacket and trouser tight. Sometimes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi is often referred as Kimono or Jiu Jitsu Dress.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu GI – General Guidelines
- The collar of Player Jacket shouldn't be thicker than 1.3 cm.
- Player's wrist and sleeve's end part should be at least 7 cm apart.
- The collar of Player Jacket should be at least 5 cm wide.
- GI should be made of high-quality fabrics and should be colored with high-grade colors.
- During competitions, GI should not look old and worn.
- During tournaments, Only Black, White and Blue colored Jiu Jitsu GI are allowed.
- A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu player cannot paint his Gi by himself (exceptions allowed).
Fabric of BJJ GI

- Traditionally, Gi pants are made of good quality Denim or Cotton.
- Lightweight and excellent quality pants are the first choices of Jiu Jitsu athletes.
- Nylon pants have become quite popular in recent times.
Nowadays, BJJ GI is manufactured by three top notched kinds of cotton 1. Single Weave Cotton, 2. Gold Weave Cotton and 3. Double Weave Cotton. Many European players also love to wear silk, polyester and nylon jackets.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu GI: How To Wash
Wrestling is a game which involves sweat and body touch, which may include transmission of bacteria easily. Many athletes prefer cold water for washing of cotton BJJ GI, to avoid shrinkage. It is a standard Physics of Heat & Cloth, which says "Cotton can shrink in contact with hot air and hot water." Many athletes prefer bleaching, but they change their dresses after 2-3 matches. But, new Jiu Jitsu students avoid dry cleaning and bleaching to save their clothes from any harm.
The odor is the biggest problem when you don't wash your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu GI, but thermal dying in the presence of sunlight could be helpful for players to remove excessive odor and bacteria's. But, you must remember that direct contact of sunlight may break fibers of your dress and may make it look worn or old. But, thanks to the technology, that number of safe chemicals out there in the market for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu GI. Here are two techniques for you to wash your gear-
- During the wash, add the half cup of lemon juice into water and then let it get diluted naturally. This process is easy to perform as well as lemon juice doesn't weaken fibers of cotton.
- Other process is washing with home-made vinegar and may hurt a lil your cotton. But, indeed this is far safer than washing it in hot water. Its mechanism is simple, add 2 cups of vinegar to wash and dry your cloth in sunlight.

The Lundy's Lane Historical Museum was established in 1961 by the Lundy's Lane Historical Society and opened in the Mackenzie House on Drummond Road, the next year the Museum was turned over to the newly amalgamated City of Niagara Falls. In 1970 the Museum moved from its former site at Drummond Road and Lundy's Lane to its present home at 5810 Ferry Street.
This handsome two-storey limestone building was erected in 1874 on the site of the Battle of Lundy's Lane and served as the Stamford Township Hall. John Latshaw, a prominent local architect, was the designer for what is now one of the few remaining structures of that time period in the City of Niagara Falls. In its early days the building's basement housed the Drummondville Fire Department.
Stamford Township Council met here until 1962 when the Township and the City of Niagara Falls amalgamated. From 1963 until 1964 the building housed the City of Niagara Falls Engineering Department as well as the Welland and District Health Department.
In 1974 the building was designated as an Historic Building under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act. The year 2000 marked the building's 125th anniversary and the Museum's 30th.
The Museum is owned by the City of Niagara Falls and operated by the City of Niagara Falls Board of Museums.
The Museum's collection includes a significant collection of War of 1812 artifacts, as well as historic prints of Niagara Falls. The Museum also has a world class collection of Niagara Falls Souvenir China and Postcards. As the interpreters of the City's history, the Museum houses a variety of artifacts relating to all aspects of the founding and development of the City of Niagara Falls.
Facilities on site include public washrooms, gift shop, plenty of free parking in the Market Square, and facilities for researchers.
Admission to the Museum is $3.00 for adults, $2.50 for students and seniors and $2.00 for children 6 to 12 years old, children under six years old are free.
Memberships are available for all the City of Niagara Falls Museums and details can be obtained at any of the Museums.
The Museum is open 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily from January 2 to May 1, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. May 1 to October 31 and Wednesday to Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in November and December.
War of 1812
The War of 1812 between the United States and Britain played an important part in shaping the look and makeup of the City of Niagara Falls. Two of the most significant battles from this conflict occurred within the current City limits - The Battle of Lundy's Lane and the Battle of Chippawa.
To celebrate 100 years of the City of Niagara Falls in 2004, the City of Niagara Falls Museums held a re-enactment of the Battles of Lundy's Lane and Chippawa. These events brought to life one of the most important events in the history of the community.
Black History
The African Experience is an important part of the history of the City of Niagara Falls. For more information about see Black History in Niagara Falls.
Queen Victoria Memorial Fountain
To the right of the entrance to the Museum stands a stone memorial fountain commemorating Queen Victoria's reign of over 64 years, erected by her loyal subjects of Stamford Township. The fountain, constructed in 1901 of 82 pieces of limestone, one for each year of the late Queen's life, provided a constant source of fresh running water for humans, horses and dogs from its three separate levels. The fountain is non-operative at present.

In addition to this, the Museum staff can work with your group to find a programme that will work for you. For more information on our programmes, check out School Programmes Page

When you call KeWaitForSingleObject or KeWaitForMultipleObjects you can provide a pointer to a timeout value. What value you pass for the pointer value makes a huge difference. This subtle distinction is something that first time driver writers do not grasp and get wrong.
If you want to infinitely wait, you pass NULL for the timeout. You must be at IRQL == PASSIVE_LEVEL to infinitely wait.
If you want to perform a test and exit (e.g. do not wait all, just try to acquire the handle and return immediately), you pass a pointer which points to 0x0. You can be at IRQL <= DISPATCH_LEVEL if you want to perform the tes and exit. This allows you to optimize a code path at DISPATCH_LEVEL and then queue to PASSIVE_LEVEL on in the case where you cannot acquire the handle.
Here is a summary of the different waits (excluding absolute):
|Infinitely wait
KeWaitForSingleObject(<dispatcher object>,
|Test and exit
LARGE_INTEGER timeout;
|Relative timeout of 500 ms
LARGE_INTEGER timeout;

NEW DELHI: The labour ministry plans to soon provide medical assistance to workers in small establishments and self-employed workers such as autorickshaw and taxi drivers, and rickshaw pullers, in an effort aimed at universalising the coverage of benefits under its Employees' State Insurance scheme.
This will help increase the number of total insured persons to five crore from two crore at present and benefit about 20 crore people across India compared to eight crore now, assuming a family size of four.
"The government is committed to provide good quality medical facilities to all workers and hence we are extending the coverage of ESI to benefit workers in the Northeast, establishments with less than 10 workers and self-employed workers like rickshaw pullers and auto and taxi drivers," labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya said.
According to Dattatreya, labour ministry will launch a pilot project in November in Delhi and Hyderabad to extend the coverage of ESIC to self-employed workers and once the pan-India survey of insured persons is completed, the facility will be launched across India from April next year.
ESIC Act applies to premises or precincts where 10 or more persons are employed. The employees drawing wages up to Rs 15,000 a month are entitled to health insurance cover and other benefits under the Act.
Under the ESI scheme, the government provides full medical care to insured persons and their families from the day they enter insurable employment, with no ceiling on the treatment.
Besides, it provides for sickness benefits in cash at the rate of 70 per cent of wages to the insured person for a maximum of 91 days in a year, 90 per cent of the insured person's wage as disablement benefits, 90 per cent as dependent benefit and Rs 10,000 as funeral benefit to the dependents or whoever performs the last rites of the insured person.

Welsh Rarebit
Welsh rarebit, Welsh rabbit, or infrequently rarebit, is a dish made with a savoury sauce of melted cheese and various other ingredients and served hot over toast. The names of the dish originate from 18th century Great Britain, after Wales. Welsh rarebit is typically made with Cheddar cheese, in contrast to the Continental European fondue which classically depends on Swiss cheeses, and of which Welsh rarebit may be considered a local variant. Various recipes for Welsh rarebit include the addition of ale, mustard, ground cayenne pepper or ground paprika and Worcestershire sauce. The sauce may also be made by blending cheese and mustard into a béchamel sauce or Mornay sauce

A conscientious gift your friends and family are sure to rave about, our company-favorite, Zero Sugar House Chocolate, can be paired with Zero Sugar House White Chocolate, or our Zero Sugar Monumental Spiced Chai. They will be hand-packaged in our sleek black box on a bed of red crinkle paper and donned with a red ribbon. Add a personal message at no extra cost.
For those of you new to Stevia and Xylitol, here is the lowdown:
Stevia is made from a plant that is a member of the daisy family. It is an all-natural sweetener with zero calories, zero carbs and a zero glycemic index value (it doesn't impact blood sugar levels when processed through your body). The stevia in our product is a purified form, known as Stevia SG95.
Xylitol is a natural, plant derived substance that looks and tastes very similar to sugar but has less than 1/2 of the calories of sugar. It has a low glycemic index as it obsorbes slowly into the blood stream and does not cause a spike like sugar . It is used to sweeten all kinds of chewing gum as it is known to reduce the incidence of tooth decay. Why isn't Xylitol the natural sugar substitute of choice? It's far more expensive than sugar or artificial sweeteners, and knowledge of the product is limited in the U.S.
Both stevia and xylitol have been popular in Japan and Europe for decades. Since they are naturally derived, there is no "sugar free" aftertaste and they are excellent natural alternatives.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
This is for anyone who is thinking Help! I'm not falling pregnant!
Hands down, falling pregnant has been the challenge of my life. Within that space of a few years, those early months of trying alone, with absolutely no idea what was wrong (or if there was even something wrong!) ranked up there with fertility treatments (although IVF and then my miscarriage took the cake) as being incredibly stressful.
I was pretty much in the mindset of 'whatever it takes' and I just wanted someone to tell me what I needed to be doing, and I'd do it, without question.
This podcast is for anyone who is in that space. Anyone who is out there in the wilderness trying on their own without luck, or any warriors out there who want to make sure that they're giving IVF and fertility treatments a red hot go (because you've had enough, because IVF is bloody expensive and because you're just so damn over it).
Today, I've invited Gabriela Rosa onto the show. Gabriela is not only a Naturopath who specialises in fertility, but she also has a Masters in Reproductive Medicine and Genetics (among other things). She has been helping women fall pregnant for more than 20 years. Literally, day in, day out, Gabriela is there, working with women, just like you and I, to help them finally fall pregnant.
So, I figure she knows her stuff!
I totally picked her brain on a range of issues from diet, to diet shakes and weight loss, how unique every single person and their requirements are, why there are junkies out there falling pregnant and here we are moving the ends of the earth and it still isn't happening (grrrr), why just taking an evening primrose supplement may not cut it, and also, how it's not JUST about diet.
I actually found that last point really interesting.
Here is someone who specialises in this from a health/medical-type perspective, but who is, once again telling us that (my favourite quote by Kris Carr) it's not just about what we eat and drink, it's also about how we think. For me, that was the missing link, and I think it's really like a recipe.
For some of us, falling pregnant is not as easy as bunging some ingredients in a dish and baking it. It's like baking one of those (infuriating yet delicious, but not so great for fertility) macarons. Those things take effort. You need all the ingredients and you need to do it right. For some of us, that's what falling pregnant is like, and that's what we discuss in the podcast.
When I listened back to this podcast in editing, I felt like I discovered so many new pieces of information from Gabriela, and I just find it incredibly enlightening.
One of the reasons I also had Gabriela on the show is because she runs a FREE 14 day fertility challenge*, which launches really soon on 8 January. Did I mention it's free? Each day Gabriela runs over an important element in her recipe for falling pregnant, and diet is only a small part of it.
**UPDATE: Gabriela's next course begins on 9 April – click here to join the free 14 day challenge**
I'm going to be joining because I feel it will be so interesting, and I hope you'll join too. It's a great way to get some free advice on what you can do to improve your chances of falling pregnant (either naturally or through assisted reproductive treatments), and I'm such a huge advocate of building a team of people around you to assist with your fertility journey, and this could be a good step to incorporating some holistic care into your plan.
Of course, Gabriela also does one on one consultations, and has heaps of products on her website too.
Books mentioned in the podcast:
For now though, you can click here to join the free 14 day challenge* . See you there!
*Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which means that I receive (at absolutely no additional cost to you – especially since this is a free challenge), a commission if you sign up. Please understand that I would never recommend something that I don't believe would be incredibly helpful to you on your fertility journey, and it is incredibly rare for me to engage in sponsored posts. I provide links to these products, not because of the small affiliate income I'd make if you decide to make a purchase, but because I think you'll find them incredibly helpful and useful.

I have an axiom to grind with you:
No matter how sorry for yourself you feel, somebody will put your misery to shame.
Monday, I described my three-year death watch over the towering eucalyptus in front of my house. The idea was to pull you into the lerp psyllid plague, which is sucking the life out of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of red gums in California.
What better way to do that than make myself the poster boy of euc angst?
Then Iris Siefert e-mailed, making it clear what I am: A lightweight victim, a city whiner.
You want kidney-punching pain?
Siefert lives with her family on the west end of Escondido, just off the road to Lake Hodges. Driving up the country lane to her house, you pick out several blighted red gums, a menacing preview of the horror story in store.
You see, a cursed forest stands on Siefert's 4-acre spread.
The hundreds of 90-year-old red gums -- local historian Frances Ryan documented their planting, Siefert tells me -- are the reason Siefert bought the property in 1987.
In her sleep, she'd often seen a green forest with a tire hanging from a branch. The first time she drove into the Escondido property, she'd found the cool image of her dream home.
Her children built Swiss Family Robinson forts in the branches. Siefert heard them -- but could not see them -- playing in the leafy canopy.
As we tramped around Siefert's sick grove Monday, the kids' hide-outs were plainly visible in the denuded branches. The leaves on the ground were covered by white slime and black residue, telltale signs of the plague.
Siefert remembers when it was 20 degrees cooler under the trees. Monday, the forest gave no relief from the relentless sun.
Siefert opened my eyes to the economic facts of her life:
"You didn't mention the financial devastation this pest will cause to people like us, those not in the wealthy burbs of Scripps Ranch or Rancho Santa Fe. We had hoped to retire in five years, but with two kids in college and another to go it was optimistic. Now the first bid we got to clear the trees was $50,000 to level everything with a bulldozer to bare land.
"We were hoping to retire here, living out our last years in a beautiful lush forest full of birds and butterflies and now we face financial ruin and our end of lives, on barren bare dirt at that. Our lives are destroyed by a nasty little bug."
If it costs $50,000 to clear her land, what will it cost to replant and irrigate? And how many years will it take for the temperature to come down 20 degrees? Thirty? Forty?
Just three years ago, the eucalyptus forest added to the value of Siefert's property. Now it detracts.
This lerp psyllid infestation doesn't affect agricultural crops, the damage of which can be measured. It's an aesthetic devastation that works on the nerves as well as the bank account.
"I can't look," Siefert said of her trees.
About 5 percent of the county's forest, according to the estimate of one arborist, is threatened with extinction. Trees are starting to be cut in numbers. Many cities fear brittle branches will fall, a problem with eucalyptus even in the greenest of times. The trees may not be technically dead, but close enough.
"What are people like us supposed to do?" Siefert asks. "If our trees were uprooted by a tornado or hurricane, the government would be throwing money at us in the form of disaster relief. This bug is a disaster."
Siefert wonders how the plague spread so quickly and why the well-publicized release of an Australian wasp, a lerp psyllid predator, is going so slowly.
The lead researcher in Berkeley is having trouble breeding females. So far, private enterprise has not joined the battle.
Half-seriously, Siefert offered this scenario: Eco-terrorists introduced the lerp psyllid four years ago to destroy the eucalyptus. Some purists believe the trees, the hardy windbreaks of the far-western frontier, are non-indigenous intruders and should be eradicated.
I defy anyone, even the fanatics, to take any pleasure in Siefert's agony.
"Our kids, at least, were raised in paradise," she said. "Now I guess we end up in hell at the end."
