Is it time to panic yet? Yeah, it could very well be, since we are now sitting on the cusp of the end of the week, one of the biggest days on the weekly schedule and we still have six teams still in need of qualification into Week Three. Sure we lost six teams in Week One, but these first 19 teams are true survivors, right? They want to make it to next week! It's their purpose in this pool... you know, besides the big money at the end of the season.
Who is in need of wins, you ask? Brenda & Seward, Brian, Ryan, Scott, Tony and Wes. Those are your six... let's see if they are going to get any help today, especially since there are only limited amounts of chances on Sunday.
We'll start working our way down the list of teams in need of wins to start, since that's the theme of this post. Brenda & Seward will get a start out of Steve Mason, with the Philadelphia Flyers playing host to the Carolina Hurricanes, a team they can't be taking lightly. The Hurricanes will counter with Eddie Lack, Stacey C.'s goalie, who may have earned himself the number one job in these first couple of weeks of the season.
That's bad news for Brian, also in need of a win, as Cam Ward will be the on-looker from the bench tonight. Tony's only possible goalie to play was Michal Neuvirth, which makes all four goalies in this game a story, but anything can happen, right? You know, if you're one of those people that wish injuries upon some players... shame on you!
More injury problems for the Los Angeles Kings in their net, as Jeff Zatkoff left the ice at the morning skate with an undisclosed injury, leaving the starters net to Peter Budaj tonight, getting the 4-0-0 Vancouver Canucks. At the other end, Jacob Markstrom gets the call for the Canucks, likely leaving Ryan Miller to the Ducks on Sunday and pushing Brenda & Seward's chances of a win in the survivor pool to the last day, if needed.
Brian should be getting the start from the Maple Leafs tonight, as they go into the United Center to take on the Blackhawks tonight. Frederik Andersen was seen warming up in the starter's net at the morning skate, which is usually a strong sign, more often than not. The Blackhawks are going to be on back-to-back nights, so we are expecting to see Scott Darling in net for Chicago, which immediate gives Scott a start and makes this game a headliner in the mini-game! Oh boy!
For Scott, that's his only chance tonight for a win, as he is still waiting for his real number one goalie to come back from injury.
Ryan will get his wish for a start tonight, his only one, when the Tampa Bay Lightning head to Ottawa to take on the Senators. Andrei Vasilevskiy will get the nod for the Bolts on a scheduled start, which is great news for Ryan's team, as his other goalie has not seen a sniff of ice as the back-up in Buffalo. It'll be a stiff test for the Russian keeper, as Craig Anderson will be at the other end for the Senators, giving Wilton another start, trying to get his season on track from the 23rd spot in the standings.
In the last of the meaningful survivor pool games, the San Jose Sharks and Detroit Red Wings will go at the Joe tonight, a 6pm MT start, and it will be Martin Jones getting the call for Wes, trying to keep him in the race, taking on Jimmy Howard, who is trying to keep Benson at the top of the standings for the week. Wes has had a couple cracks at a win already this week, but is now getting desperate, while Benson was eliminated in Week One, but still getting the last laugh, opening tonight's schedule in 1st place.
The match-up is set in Boston, as it will be Carey Price, another start for Benson, taking on Anton Khudobin, a non-pool goalie, in a key Eastern Conference clash tonight. It sounds like something is wrong with Tuukka Rask and Zane McIntyre has been called up for the back-up role tonight for the Bruins, we're trying to figure that out and will probably have something on the blog tomorrow morning for it.
A battle of two teams going in the right direction in Florida tonight, with the Avalanche and Panthers going head-to-head. Two already-qualified teams will see their keepers go, as Semyon Varlamov goes for Kristy & Don, while Roberto Luongo goes for Cam tonight. These two teams are only separated by 3 points in the standings, Cam's being the better of the two in 5th place this afternoon.
It's a superstar goalie match-up in Washington, DC tonight, with the New York Rangers in town to face the Capitals. Henrik Lundqvist and Braden Holtby are your headliners tonight, both already having offered Grant and Jeremy wins to stay in the pool this week. Grant's team sits in 3rd place, 2 points out, while Jeremy's is a little further back and in need of a quick boost tonight.
Likely to the chagrin of Brian Elliott, a Derek B. goalie, he won't get the call to face his former club tonight, as his play hasn't exactly been stellar to start the season for the Flames and Calgary was in need of a big win tonight. Instead, Chad Johnson will get the call in net, facing Jake Allen, the Blues' number one goalie. In terms of the hockey pool, this will be a John versus Mike outing, 13th versus 8th, only separated by 1 point in the standings. This game could make for some movement, eh?
We knew early on, Cory Schneider would be making yet another start for the New Jersey Devils, really taking the ball and running with it in the swamp, giving Stuart another start this week. It took a little while, but it was confirmed early on in the afternoon that he would match-up against Devan Dubnyk, giving John another start and what I believe is a big game in the side bet community. Both teams are already moving on to next week, so there isn't any intrigue in that fashion here.
The Dallas Stars confirmed nice and early that it will be Kari Lehtonen in their net again tonight, getting the start over Antti Niemi for the third straight game. Lehtonen, Dale C.'s 4th round pick has been chosen over Wilton's 1st round pick in the early days of the Dallas season, which is a bit concerning for someone. The Blue Jackets played the night before in Chicago and trying not to spread their number one too thin, they send Curtis McElhinney to the net for his first start of the season, a non-pool goalie.
The Nashville Predators are back home tonight after playing on Friday night in Detroit, which means that it is back-to-back nights and Marek Mazanec should be getting his first start of the season here too, trying not to stretch their number one too far either. At the other end, it was confirmed that Marc-Andre Fleury will be making another start, giving Cam another 60 minutes in the Penguins' crease, something that might be coming to a quick end here soon, with Matt Murray on the mend.

NVC: Nonviolent Communication
Have you heard of NVC? (Nonviolent Communication)
It's something I've heard about on and off for the past few years but didn't know anything about.
So this week I decided to reach out to NVC certified trainer Alan Seid to find out what the deal was, and to see if it's something worth learning.
If you have no knowledge of NVC, this article will give you a great introduction.
In this article:
- What is NVC?
- Violent vs Nonviolent Communication
- How to deal with verbal violence
- Empathetic listening
- The importance of self-connection and self-talk
- The four areas of focus in NVC
- The three toolboxes of NVC
- Why should I practice NVC?
Let's begin:
What is NVC?
Michael Frank: What is NVC? What is Nonviolent Communication?
Alan Seid: NVC is about how we express our honesty in such a way that our perspective is most likely to be received with understanding, and our needs are most likely to be met in a way that's in harmony with other people's needs.
On the listening side it's about how we receive what might be coming at us, even when it sounds like an attack or blame or criticism or a judgment, and how we listen for the other person's needs and values so that we're standing in a more compassionate place, so that we're less likely to get defensive, and most likely to diffuse a potential conflict.
Note to the reader: This definition will become a lot clearer throughout the article
My definition of NVC is: Compassionate communication and listening with empathy
Michael Frank: Is NVC mostly about how we communicate and listen to others, or is it also about how we communicate with ourselves?
Alan Seid: It's mostly about how we communicate with ourselves.
Violent vs Nonviolent communication
Michael Frank: Okay so if that's how we define "nonviolent communication", how do we then define "violent communication"? Can you give us some examples of what you would consider to be nonviolent vs violent communication? (Apart from swearing, threatening, yelling, mocking etc.)
Alan Seid: We can break down violent communication into five different areas:
1. Diagnoses which include criticism
2. Judgments e.g. "you're an idiot"
3. Denial of responsibility e.g. an adult telling a child "Don't make me hit you" (as if a child could "make" an adult do anything). All forms of denial of responsibility.
4. Placing demands on others e.g. "Do it my way" or "Do it when I say or else" or anything where there's a subtle threat of some sort of punishment. So in violent communication, the verb "to be" is very important and we want to know who is what, especially who is "good" and who is "bad", because then we know who "deserves" to be punished or rewarded
5. Coercion. Manipulating other people through fear, guilt, shame, duty and obligation to get a reward or to avoid a punishment out of 'shoulds' or 'have tos'. So anytime I ask you to do something for me, and let's say I threaten you to do it, or I try to manipulate you or guilt trip you into doing it, that would be a form of violent communication
Lashing out or withdrawing is often a cry for help
Michael Frank: Do you have any suggestions for what to do when someone is being verbally violent and directing negative language our way?
Alan Seid: Yeah, so it's really helpful to remember that when somebody else is in pain, when any of us is in pain, we tend to lash out or withdraw.
In other words, when I'm in pain is when I'm most needing other people's love, care and support, and it's also when I act in ways like lashing out or withdrawing, that make it least likely that I'm going to get that love, care, and support. So for someone new to NVC who's trying to listen to difficult communications probably the first thing to understand is that any judgment or criticism coming your way is probably coming from some hunger for love. The other person has a need that's not being met, so we can hear it as an expression of their pain rather than take it personally.
Michael Frank: I think that rings true a lot for me. For example, for me now in my late thirties where I see people angry, I tend to notice the pain behind the anger. I'm not trying to see the best in them. I'm not trying to see them any particular way. It's just honestly what I notice. This person is in pain. When I see anger and frustration, I see the pain behind it.
Alan Seid: Yeah, exactly. And I think whether it's a child or whether it's an adult, we can make the assumption that any lashing out is coming from some form of pain. Somebody who's happy and centered and calm and self-connected doesn't hurt other people. Hurt people hurt people, and it's when we don't know how to process our grief that we ended up acting in ways that are sociopathic.
How to deal with verbal violence
Michael Frank: So if someone is being verbally violent or hurtful or negative, how would you suggest we deal with it? Is it just a case of listening? Or walking away? Or asking them in a non-confrontational way why they seem to be upset?
Alan Seid: Initially I want to be present with empathy with this person who's being verbally violent, and if I notice that I can't be present with empathy, that's because I need it.
If somebody is being verbally violent and immediately I'm upset, disappointed, sad or angry, then it's going to be extremely hard for me to give them empathy, because at that moment I'm needing it. So if I have the skills to give myself emergency first aid self-empathy, once I do that, then I can be present with the other person. I have a specific example if you'd like to hear it.
Michael Frank: Yes please
Alan Seid: I was at an event with a few hundred people. The event had ended and people were trickling out and somebody approached me and put his face about six or eight inches from mine and proceeded to do what most of us would call "yelling" (NVC observes without labeling) and telling me how my values were what was destroying the planet and life on the planet.
The level of aggression coming at me was such that my very first impulse was to punch this person in the face. Now my training in nonviolent communication tells me that's an indicator that something inside me is hurting.
Now I just want to unpack this desire to punch somebody in the face, or the desire to lash out and hurt somebody. The deeper need is actually empathy. It's empathetic understanding. The way that works is somebody said something to me that I find hurtful, I'm hurting, now I want to punch them so that they're hurting. In other words, I'm wanting so much understanding about how much that hurt, that I want to make you hurt, so that you understand how much I'm hurting. That's the unconscious psychology behind that. So right away I noticed that I wanted to punch this person and I wasn't able to be present with them for empathy because I was upset, so I turned my attention inside and noticed I was deeply disappointed because I value a different way of interacting with other people, and I was also feeling very irritated because I have a need for understanding, and I wanted to be seen differently than how he was describing me.
Because of my training, this only took about two seconds, maybe a second and a half, to turn from this person yelling at me, to noticing I wanted to punch him, turning my attention inside and reconnecting with my needs, then I was able to turn to him and be present. I was able to give him empathy and I said something like: "Well it sounds like you have some values that you feel very, very strongly about". And he said "THAT'S RIGHT!" and he started telling me more specifically, and then I was able to demonstrate understanding by letting him know "Yeah it sounds like you really value the rivers and the forest and habitat for other species".
And then I switched to my honesty and I said "You know I'm feeling rather confused because I'm wondering whether you heard me speak at the event". And then he said "Yes I heard you speak" and then he launched back in. I was able to stay with him in empathy, but then he turned around and walked away. So I could've followed him and continued the conversation. I chose not to based on connection with my needs. But I think he was looking for a confrontation and he didn't get it. So if I can tune into what might be important to this other person who's being confrontational, great. If I can't even bring myself to turn my attention toward them empathically, that means I need empathy so I can turn my intention inward.
Michael Frank: If you said: "Excuse me, I'd like to listen to you, but the way you're communicating is making it very difficult. I'm happy to hear you out, but could you please tone it down a little bit?" Do you think that would have exacerbated it and made it worse? How do you think that would have played out?
Alan Seid: I honestly don't know. And that's the thing, we have no control over how other people are going to take things or how they're going to hear them. But you know what Michael, I wish I had thought of what you just said. I wish I had actually said that. I love it. I think it's brilliant. I just didn't think of it in the moment.
What if the other person doesn't want to play?
Michael Frank: What if you are listening to someone compassionately trying to understand their needs and potentially asking them questions: "So I understand that you feel this way", or "it appears that you are frustrated because of X, Y, and Z" etc. Do you encounter cases where someone still doesn't want to listen? Like: "I don't care what you think" and they just walk off?
Alan Seid: Yeah. Sure. So if I'm reflecting back and they just don't want to play and they walk away. At that moment I have choices. I can judge them for that. I can judge myself for that. Or I can tune into what might their feelings and needs have been that led them to walk away? And what are my feelings and needs as I'm experiencing this? What's happening for me inside rather than judging myself for judging them? What's alive for me at that level of feelings and needs?
So yes, people could walk away and that's why 90% of the time empathy is in silence. There's a distinction between empathy and reflecting things back out loud. So reflecting back things back out loud, is not the same thing as empathy. Most of the time empathy is in silence, because technically we don't give people empathy, technically what we give them is our full presence and as a result their need for empathy is met.
So most of the time this just happens in silence, but I would reflect back out loud in two circumstances:
- If I think it would be comforting and reassuring for the other person to hear back what I've heard
- If I really didn't understand what they said, and I want to reflect it back to them just to make sure that I'm understanding
Otherwise it's mostly in silence. So I find that most of those people who don't want to play and walk away, it's because they have a suspicion that we're trying a technique on them, or we're using some kind of new age psychoanalysis on them, or manipulating them in some way.
Dealing with sensitive people
Michael Frank: I find that some people are so sensitive, especially when it comes to criticism, that no matter how much I soften it or sugarcoat it, it's too much for them. I mean, I'm almost unable to communicate with certain people, because even if the feedback is not necessarily negative, and it's not that you're wanting to hurt that person, but even if you make a gentle suggestion, they just can't hear anything. So I've found that I can't say anything, because no matter what you say, on a scale from 1-100, you can give them 0.0001% and it's too much for them.
Alan Seid: Yeah, I've experienced that too. So we're responsible for three things.
We are responsible for:
- Our intentions
- Our words
- Our actions
Everything else we don't have control over, so we can't be responsible for that. So yeah, we don't have control over it how somebody else is going to take it. And that's just a part of life.
Empathetic listening
Michael Frank: You mentioned empathy and I'd like to unpack that a little bit, especially empathetic listening or deep listening as NVC calls it, and I'm curious as to where you draw the line because, and I'll give an extreme example, but there are some people that are so unconscious and unaware that they'll just vomit out a stream of nonsense for two and a half hours if you'll listen to it.
Where do you draw the line between compassionate listening, listening with empathy, and knowing that this is probably a waste of my time?
Alan Seid: Well, I look inside. So I'm present with someone as long as I can be. Now if it's not making sense, I can come back to my honesty and say: "You know, honestly, I'm a little lost, I'm not really following right now, could you slow down a little bit and help me clarify so that I can understand you?" However, there are all kinds of situations in which we reach our limit and at that point we can stop. I mean Marshall Rosenberg (founder of NVC) said: "Don't listen to one more word than you're willing to listen to". So we listen as long as we can.
And there are other situations when what the person is saying may sound like nonsense, and it could be that we're just not understanding. And people ask me questions all the time about NVC and people with mental illness, and if you're open, I'd like to tell you the story of the very last conversation I had with my father right before he died.
Michael Frank: Yes please
Alan's last conversation with his dying father
Alan Seid: So he was in Mexico City with my mom, and that's where I grew up. And I'd spoken with my mother that day for about an hour and she'd told me everything, every detail, what they ate, where they went, who visited, who called, just everything about their time there. And for the previous two or three days she had told me: "Hey your father's reliving his childhood. He's having these hallucinations or fantasies like he's a child again".
My father had cancer and it had spread through his body, and at one point he had a tumor behind his eye that was pushing on his brain. And so that was my mother's explanation for some of what was happening in terms of my dad reliving his childhood. So we had this long conversation on the phone and at the end she says: "Do you want to talk to your father?" And I said: "Yeah of course". And so my dad gets on the phone and he says in a very ominous tone of voice:
"Somebody called… they want to kidnap you and your mother"
Now I knew nobody had called to say they wanted to kidnap me and my mother. So at that point I was stunned. I was shocked. I was surprised. I was confused about what to do. So I was just quiet. I was just silent on the line. And after thirty seconds or so, he repeated it:
"Somebody called… they want to kidnap you and your mother"
And at that point I got it. I switched into empathy and I said: "Dad, it sounds like you're really worried and concerned for me and my mom's well being and safety". And he goes: "Yeah" (deep exhale). I could just hear the sigh of relief from just being heard. And then he said it again:
"Somebody called… they want to kidnap you and your mother"
And I said: "Oh yeah, I'm hearing you're super worried and concerned about me and my mom's physical safety and well being".
And he goes: "Yeah" (deep exhale). And then at some point I asked him: "What do they want?" And he said: "Money". And I said: "Should I give it to them?" And there was a long pause and he said: "I don't know". And then I switched into empathy again. I said: "Dad it sounds like you're not only worried and concerned about my and my mom's physical safety, but you're also really concerned about our financial well being, and making sure that we're going to be okay financially".
"Yeah" (deep exhale)
So I just hung in there with him to hear his feelings and needs, and once I got the sense that he had gotten it out and he really was heard, then I came back with my honesty. And there is a metaphor here that might be useful to your listeners that I'll share in a second. It's the metaphor of the tube of communication. So don't let me forget.
But anyway, I came back with my honesty and I said: "Hey Dad, I just want you to know that I've got it handled. I've got everything under control. I've got it covered and my mom and I are going to be okay. We're going to be fine". And I could just hear him relax on the other end of the line.
So here's somebody who had a story about reality that was totally different than the reality everyone else was living in. Nobody had called to kidnap anybody. And I could have argued with him, I could have tried to reason with him: "Listen father, the reason you're saying this is because there's a tumor behind your eye that's pushing on your brain". I could have done all kinds of things except empathy, and he would not have gotten what he needed. So here he was essentially speaking nonsense, but what he needed was the empathic understanding for what his feelings and needs were underneath.
So NVC is about switching from listening to respond, to listening to understand.
The tube of communication
Michael Frank: It's a powerful example. You were going to mention the tube of communication metaphor
Alan Seid: Yeah. Most people are familiar with the story of Marshall Rosenberg when he was teaching at a mosque in the Middle East. It's in his book A language of life where somebody in the audience stands up and yells: "You murderer!" Then Marshall replied: "Sir, are you upset because you would like my country to spend its resources in a different way?" and the guy's like: "That's right! We don't need bombs!" anyway many people are familiar with the story…
The idea is let's imagine that there's a tube of communication between any two people. So between you and I Michael, we can imagine this tube, it's like a plastic tube, or maybe one of those cardboard poster tubes, and let's say that you're trying to get your point across and so you're stuffing a scarf through the tube, but let's say that I'm trying to get my point across at the same time, so I'm putting my scarf through the tube on this end. What happens? The tube is clogged and neither one of us is getting heard or getting what we want.
So what NVC teaches is that if I can take my scarf and just put it to the side for the moment, and allow your scarves to come through, once your scarves have come through, now the tube is clear again and I can come back with what I had to say. So I'm not suppressing anything. I'm not denying my truth. I'm just putting it on the shelf momentarily to allow your message to come through. One thing people forget is that empathy is not agreement, empathy is a respectful or compassionate understanding. I'm willing to give you the experience that "I get it" – which is different than "I agree".
So in Marshall's story, this other person vents for about 40 minutes, it was 40 minutes worth of scarves coming through, but finally he was quiet and then Marshall came back with his honesty, and he said: "Well sir, I'm rather frustrated right now, because I was invited to teach a class here, and I'm wondering if you'd be willing to grant me the remainder of our time to continue with my presentation". The guy was like "Yeah, yeah, go ahead!". So similarly in the story with my father, I allowed his message to come through, and I was listening for the feelings and needs, not for the veracity of his story, and once his message came through, now the tube was clear again and I was able to share my message, which was: "Hey, you know what? You have permission to die man. I know you're tired. I know it's hard. I know you're worried about your family, but we're gonna be fine and you can let go now."
Michael Frank: I've heard it said: "Everybody wants to talk, but nobody wants to listen", and I think that when you do listen first, when you enable the other person to express themselves, to get things off their chest, they're a lot more likely to listen to you.
Alan Seid: Absolutely.
The importance of self-connection and self-talk
Michael Frank: You mentioned at the beginning of the conversation that NVC is mostly about how you communicate to yourself and that surprised me. I'd like to know more about that. Can you speak more a little more about that?
Alan Seid: Yeah the way it works is like this: The two main parts of NVC we mostly think about is authentic self-expression and empathic listening. My level of self-connection is either a limiting factor to those other two – or it's a supportive factor. So if I'm totally disconnected from myself, how honest can I be with you? If I'm going through a huge storm, if I'm flooded, if I'm triggered, then how present can I be emphatically to what's happening for you? It's very, very difficult if I'm going through an internal storm.
Michael Frank: When you say how you're connected with yourself, do you mean how present and conscious and aware you are of your own thoughts and feelings? Or is there more to it than that?
Alan Seid: I would say particularly feelings and needs, but thoughts are also important because the stories we tell ourselves are an expression of the meaning that we're giving to situations, which also tends to stimulate which needs are coming up for us. But I was thinking specifically of feelings and needs, but certainly the story we're telling ourselves is important to be aware of too.
How you communicate to others…
Michael Frank: Is there anything else you want to say on self-talk?
Alan Seid: Well the way we communicate with others is usually a reflection of how we're communicating with ourselves. So if I tend to be really hard on myself, if I tend to hold an unreasonably high standard for myself and then berate myself every time I fall short of that standard, chances are that I'm treating other people that way too. Even if it's in silence, even if I don't tell them it's a standard I'm holding them to.
Michael Frank: People that are very judgmental and critical are often that way with themselves. So when you say it's a reflection of the way we communicate with ourselves, I wholeheartedly agree with you. But I'm wondering, where do you think this communication begins? So when we see a teenager or an adult and they're very critical and judgmental of others, and they tend to be that way with themselves, do you believe that for some people it's inherent in their personality? Or do you believe it's a learned behavior that's been trained into them by their parents, their peers, society etc. to be communicating with themselves in that way?
Alan Seid: I would say that it's a learned behavior. I'm not sure if it's inherent to anybody's personality, but beyond those two possibilities, I think it's actually inherent to a specific developmental stage that human beings go through. Let me put it this way: Philosopher Ken Wilber summarizes the evolution of human consciousness as growing from "I" and "me" to "us" and "we". So the circle of who you identify as "we" or "us" grows from egocentric to ethnocentric to sociocentric to world centric. In other words, you're compassionate embrace grows larger and larger.
So initially we think the only people who are worthy of moral consideration are just people who look like me, or just people in my family, and then only people in my society, and only people of my culture. And then it grows to all human beings, and beyond human beings, all sentient beings. So there is a certain developmental stage I think in human consciousness that defaults to blame, judgment, criticism, but it's also reinforced culturally. So as culture evolves, as our collective understanding of how the world works evolves, it acts like a magnet and it pulls people up toward that level.
How to become conscious of your self-talk
Michael Frank: If you want to improve the quality of your self-talk, for me the very first thing you need to do is become conscious of it, and for those of us who don't practice mindfulness, who don't meditate and watch their thoughts etc. do you have any suggestions as to how we can become conscious of our self-talk?
Alan Seid: Well the simplest thing is to write it down. So if you notice you're upset, if you notice you're disappointed, if you notice you're angry, write down what you're thinking and just let it be a stream of consciousness and just write, write, write, without censoring, without limiting, without saying "this is inappropriate", without saying "I shouldn't think this", but just allowing it and giving it space to just be. And then you can go back and start looking at it.
So for example, if I notice that I'm judging my neighbor for being greedy or inconsiderate, right there in the language, just the judgment "he's being inconsiderate" tells me that one of the things that's important to me is consideration. Or if I'm calling somebody selfish, it's that I don't trust that they're taking other people's needs into account as much as their own needs. So that's a value or a need. So I can look at the judgments and the ways that I'm diagnosing or characterizing others, then I can start to notice the deeper values or the needs underneath that. The clues are in the very language we're using.
Michael Frank: Journaling is a great idea. Any other suggestions Alan?
Alan Seid: Yeah, absolutely. You know I once asked Marshall Rosenberg (founder of NVC): "Marshall, I notice some people come to your workshops and within two or three workshops they get it really quickly and NVC is almost natural to them. And then I notice other people who take workshop after workshop after workshop, and when you add them all up, it's like decades worth of workshops, and yet they don't seem to be progressing. What's the deal? What's happening?"
Marshall said: "I don't know, but one thing I've noticed is that people who have some kind of awareness based practice tend to pick it up a lot faster". So the very first step is a desire to become self-aware, and to become more mindful of our inner world, our inner reality, and knowing how it is that we impact other people. Every religion, every wisdom tradition in the world, has some version of know thyself. So I think it starts with that intention and that desire to become self-aware. Then there can be lots of ways to do it.
The four areas of focus in NVC
Michael Frank: What else do we need to know about NVC?
Alan Seid: Well in NVC we're focusing our attention on four areas:
1. Observations: What exactly happened? The observable facts and behaviors (without labeling)
2. Feelings: How we feel about it, or how the other person feels about it
3. Needs: Universal human needs e.g. Connection, Honesty, Peace, Physical Well-being
4. Request: Clear and specific request
I want to differentiate between the intention and the words, because I could have the intention to get my way, or to manipulate a specific outcome, and then use words and language that sounds like observation, feeling, need, request, and that would not be NVC at all. That would be a subtle form of manipulation. So we want to make sure that our intention is centered on creating a high quality of connection out of which we'll find a mutually agreeable outcome.
The three toolboxes of NVC
Michael Frank: Can you also unpack the three toolboxes of NVC for us?
Alan Seid: Absolutely. So NVC has three different toolboxes, one in how we express ourselves, one in how we listen, and one in how we connect with ourselves. And these three toolboxes equal three different areas in which to put our attention.
- Inside
- Emphatically toward others
- Expressing myself authentically
So self-connection or going inside is about connecting with what's motivating me at the level of feelings and needs, and it's also about connecting with the parts of me that allow me to humanize the other, and connecting with other people with where they might be coming from. So the self-connection piece is pretty big, and it's where the depth of compassion really comes from is inside us.
The other two areas are empathy, how I listen to others, how I'm present with other people, and the third area is honesty. Honest, authentic, genuine, self expression. Now here's an insight about honesty that I think a lot of people haven't thought about, which is: I don't choose what my honesty is. I look inside and I'm honest with you about what I find.
Michael Frank: But we must be conscious about how we express ourselves, depending on what we see. Correct?
Alan Seid: You mean because how we express ourselves can have an impact on others?
Michael Frank: Yes
Alan Seid: Sure. So we can be skillful not only about how we communicate, but also with the timing. Absolutely.
Why should I practice NVC?
Michael Frank: To someone that said: "Why should I communicate nonviolently? No one else speaks nicely to me!" What would you say to that person?
Alan Seid: First, I would offer them empathy for that. Even if it's silent, even if in my mind I'm simply understanding where they're coming from, so if there's someone who is saying "Why should I even bother? Nobody else does this". Maybe they have a value around shared responsibility. They don't want to be the only one in their family or at work who is taking the initiative and who is doing that, and maybe they feel overwhelmed thinking about taking that on. So that's the first thing, instead of labeling them as "resistant" or "hardheaded" or "intransigent", I would first have compassion for where they're coming from. Then if I choose to say something, and if I want to help them see a different perspective, we might discuss: "Well what's the cost of doing things that way or continuing to do things that way?"
But the bottom line is that nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. So first I would establish rapport with this person. Otherwise, anything I say is going to go in one ear and out the other. Once I establish rapport, then yes I can ask them: "So how's that been going for you?"
Michael Frank: I want to summarize some of these points to make sure I'm not missing anything. So from my basic understanding of nonviolent communication:
- We are communicating with compassion both with ourselves and with others
- We are listening to other people with empathy, and trying to understand their feelings and needs
- We are observing the behavior and words of other people, without evaluating and making judgments about it
Are there any other key things that I've missed out re: NVC?
Alan Seid: You know the main thing is slowing down, and accessing tenderness inside us and knowing that it's there for other people. There's a beautiful traditional Japanese tale about heaven and hell that really exemplifies the difference for me.
So in this traditional Japanese tale about heaven and hell, a virtuous prince dies and his guardian angel shows up and says: "You've been very virtuous so I'm going to take you to heaven, but I'd like to grant you one wish before I take you to heaven". And the prince says: "Well I'd like to see hell. I'd like to see what it is I'm missing out on".
And so in a flash they're in a room with a large banquet table with the most delicious food that you can imagine. And everybody sitting around the table has one meter long chopsticks from their pinky and forefinger, and everybody around the table looks irritated and gaunt like they haven't eaten in a long time, and because the chopsticks are so long and they can't feed themselves, they spend their entire time knocking food out of each other's chopsticks. So that was hell.
And then they appear in heaven. And what they see in heaven is a long banquet table with the most beautiful delicious food that you can imagine. Everybody sitting around the table has one meter long chopsticks from their pinky and forefinger. And everyone around the table is enjoying good conversation and everybody looks well fed. And because of the one meter long chopsticks from the pinky and forefinger, they cannot feed themselves, so they spend their entire time extending food to one another.
So the biggest shift is in the mindset. The biggest shift is really realizing that in this moment we are in deep space. We're flying through deep space on this little blue ball and there's no planet B, we're here, and so some of the stories that we need to question are:
Who are we?
What is the good life?
What is our shared destiny on this planet together?
Michael Frank: Alan it's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you!
Alan Seid: Michael, thank you for your time, thank you for your work, and please stay in touch!

Over the years, I have been involved in several decisions about tooling. While «it's all about culture» is a common saying, I'm a firm believer that not only do the tools you choose form your company culture, but your culture should also be a part of the decision when you choose your toolset. That is: just because one company is successfully using a particular tool, it will not necessarily work well in your environment. In this ignite talk, I'm going to explore a few of the things you want to consider, and how your tool-decisions might have an impact on your organization.

General Secretary of Opposition NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia says the''Aa gbe wor'' demonstration is not about the security agencies, but rather about the people who have infiltrated the police to bring the service's name into disrepute.
Asiedu Nketia said this while addressing participants and media men at Obra spot in Accra during the demonstration dubbed'' Aa gbe wor'' meaning they are killing us.
The demonstration organized by the Interparty Coalition saw the participants marched through some principal streets of Accra and later presented their petition to the Interior Minister Ambrose Dery and the Inspector General of Police, David Asante Apeatu.
The demonstration is intended to get the government to act on what they describe as insecurity in the country in relation to the Ayawaso West Wuogon violence which occurred last Thursday, January 31, 2019.
Speaking to journalists and participants of the demonstration Asiedu Nketiah said: ''Those traders who are complaining about high duty this is your day, free shs undergoing the traffic light system, the green, and yellow tracks this is your day. Come and pour out your anger, let the government know that they rest on the will of the people, they do what the people say. Democracy does not end at the conclusion of elections, democracy continues, even during the governing of the rulers who have been elected, this is the time you should let your voice be heard''.
''To my friends in the police service and security service, this demonstration is not about you. The responsibility of keeping peace in this country is raised on the shoulders of the police and the security services. What Nana Addo has subjected you to do is the works of humiliation when police vehicles and uniforms will be deployed to conduct this act and people will be blaming the police service,'' Asiedu Nketiah added.
NDC General Secretary Asiedu Nketia said:'' The Ghana Police Service we are telling you, we know it is not your work if any policeman knows about it, it is limited to the police administration at your headquarters, it is not about you. This demonstration if it goes beyond our plan we are not going to engage in any violence. Don't align with a wicked government, don't align with a wrong government and think that you are doing the service to this country.''

According to him, ''this vigilantism has to stop, whether they like it or not. In relation to what happened at Ayawaso Bawaleshie last Thursday, if NDC wanted to retaliate what would have happened? We are here to hold a peaceful ''Aa gbe w)'' demonstration''.

|DC RUM 2017 and older
|RUM Console
|NAM Console
|Central Analysis Server (CAS)
|NAM Server
|Advanced Diagnostic Server (ADS)
|Advanced Diagnostics on Demand feature of NAM Server
|Agentless Monitoring Device (AMD)
|NAM Probe
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 are not supported in DC RUM 2017. Migrate to a supported release before performing this procedure. See:
Log on to the AMD as
root user.
Mount the latest AMD upgrade disc.
Insert the AMD upgrade disc into your drive and mount the drive with the
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt command.
[root@AMD ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
If you are working with a different installation, your device mount location may be different - you can skip to Step 4.
Go to the upgrade directory.
Change your current working directory to
AMD on the drive with the
cd /mnt/AMD command.
[root@AMD ~]# cd /mnt/AMD
Select the upgrade file.
For more information, see Installation and upgrade file names.
Test the target machine for system readiness.
Run the selected upgrade file with the
--test-system parameter. Review the File options for testing section for other
upgrade.bin testing parameters.
For example:
[root@AMD ~]# ./upgrade-amd-17-00-00-1971-b001.bin --test-system
- If no system readiness issues are found, you will see a summary message that finishes with a line such as "No missing dependencies, it is OK to install AMD software."
- If system readiness issues are found, follow the instructions on the screen. You may be prompted to install missing software or disable services that affect AMD performance.
For more information, see Preparing the Operating System for AMD Software Installation or AMD software dependencies and conflicts .
Run the selected upgrade file in the installation directory.
At the command line prompt, type:
./file_name with the Mandatory parameters for upgrade where
file_name is the name of the upgrade file.
For example:
[root@AMD ~]# ./upgrade-amd-17-00-00-1971-b001.bin --automatic
When using the
--manual parameter, if any auxiliary packages are missing, the process stops and the missing package names are listed. If this occurs, use your Red Hat subscription repository or the system installation media to install the required packages. Note that the AMD installation scripts list only the packages on which the software is directly dependent. The listed packages may have further dependencies that also need to be resolved and are pulled in automatically by package management software such as
yum .
For more information, see AMD software dependencies and conflicts .
An updated Linux kernel may be installed as an effect of a software compatibility check. If this happens, a system restart is necessary so that the proper kernel version is in use.
For more information, see Resolving Linux kernel-related compatibility issues .
If the installation script discovers that, after setup, the available disk space is below the minimum space required, a message is displayed. If this happens, you must make a suitable amount of free disk space available before continuing.
Figure 2. Warning Messages on System with Insufficient Amount of Free Disk Space
Warning: Insufficient free disk space available.
/usr/adlex/rtm/bin requires at least 2GB
/var/log/adlex requires at least 1GB
/var/spool/adlex/rtm requires at least 10GB
Optional: Select the correct SSL engine (applies to nCipher support only).
Because of hardware constraints, the installation procedure performed by the upgrade file may not be able to detect the exact type of the nCipher accelerator card (nShield or nFast), and it configures the AMD for nShield. If the card installed is not nShield, you must manually modify the appropriate AMD configuration property after the upgrade file is executed. To do this, open the
/usr/adlex/config/rtm.config configuration file and find the
ssl.engine property, which defaults to
If the installed card is nFast, change the setting from
nShield to
nfast .
Reboot the AMD to complete the upgrade.
After the AMD is restarted, you can use the
ndstat command to view the installed packages and their versions.
Example of ndstat output after an upgrade.

International pole vaulter Holly Bleasdale limped away from the European Team Championships at Gateshead after failing to record a height.
In a repetition of her London 2012 troubles, Bleasdale, in windy conditions, failed three times at her opening height of 4.25m.
The Euxton athlete has cleared 4.60m this year.
The 22-year-old later said that achilles and back problems had almost caused her to withdraw from the championships.
She will be hoping to bounce back to the form which saw her win the British Indoor title in Sheffield and gold at the European Indoor Championships in Gothenburg earlier this year.

I need a moment for life updated here:
Well, not surprisingly, my plans to finish the season strong have died out. As it turns out, I have essentially zero time for anime in my daily life. In fact, JoJo's is the only anime I watch consistently. I am going to make a blog about the endings of Mayoiga, Kiznaiver, and Kabaneri, but the weekly blogs have lost their significance. In accordance with my lack of time, my reports on the summer season may look a bit different, although I am not quite sure what is changing.
Anyways, this week in JoJo we got a wonderful introduction to Rohan, the crazy manga artist.
I would like to devote the entirety of this week to Rohan, who is one of the best JoJo villains we have had in a while. This time let's look at what makes his character great as a villain, and what his signifies.
First, I want to get out there that Rohan is one of my favorite villains since Battle Tendency, and not only because he is totally overpowered. Unlike some other villains who prove themselves to be quite intelligent, Rohan uses not only his intelligence, but also a healthy serving of common sense. Some villains, such as Chili Pepper, want to be found, but Rohan is different. He is very discrete and secretive, as shown by the hefty window coverings and his quiet attitude. Unlike many other bad guys, Rohan is also quite earnest and possesses very protagonist-like values. For example, he doesn't dupe or attack Koichi and Hazamada until they intrude on his work and open up the manuscript. Though Rohan is not forgiving, he does not attack without reason.
You can also find Rohan's earnest nature in his attitude towards his manga. Unlike others, Rohan values the readers entertainment over money or fame. So despite Rohan's claims of disliking people, he is actually a people pleaser. Rohan's kind sentiments towards people seem limited to those who he has deemed worthy. For example, Rohan rejects Hazamada as a subject because he is an unlikable person (cheater, perverted, liar). I would go so far as to guess that at some point in his life, Rohan had his feeling betrayed by others, which caused him to develop a personality that was more tolerant towards being ignored or not accepted.
Rohan's stand is also quite interesting. Heaven's Door is said to be one of the most OP stands in the entire series (other than the JoJo stands), and I see why. Heaven's Door essentially gives Rohan the power to rewrite a person's life, or even decide another's life for himself. In the hands of someone truly evil like Dio, this power would seem much heavier, however, given how earnest Rohan is, it does not seem as bad. Now, I believe that Rohan is actually a pretty good guy, despite his creepy vibe at times. His inherit goodness makes Rohan a more interesting villain, especially when compared to the JoJo crowd of antagonists, many of which are clearly bad like Hazamada.
I hope you enjoyed my blog this time around and my spring taste testing blogs are on the way 🙂 Happy Anime Hunting!

June 23, 2019: The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ: Corpus Christi
Catholic Social Teaching: Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
The Eucharist commits us to the poor. To receive in truth the Body and Blood of Christ given up for us, we must recognize Christ in the poorest, his brethren:
You have tasted the Blood of the Lord, yet you do not recognize your brother,. . . . You dishonor this table when you do not judge worthy of sharing your food someone judged worthy to take part in this meal. . . . God freed you from all your sins and invited you here, but you have not become more merciful. (1397) Catechism of the Catholic Church
First Reading: Genesis 14:18-20
Psalm: 110: 1, 2, 3, 4
Second Reading: 1st Corinthians 11:23-26
Gospel: Luke 9:11b-17
Catechism of the Catholic Church
The unity of the Mystical Body: the Eucharist makes the Church. Those who receive the Eucharist are united more closely to Christ. Through it Christ unites them to all the faithful in one body – the Church. Communion renews, strengthens, and deepens this incorporation into the Church, already achieved by Baptism. In Baptism we have been called to form but one body. The Eucharist fulfills this call: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread:"
If you are the body and members of Christ, then it is your sacrament that is placed on the table of the Lord; it is your sacrament that you receive. To that which you are you respond "Amen" ("yes, it is true!") and by responding to it you assent to it. For you hear the words, "the Body of Christ" and respond "Amen." Be then a member of the Body of Christ that your Amen may be true. (1396) From the Daily Roman Missal, Introduction to the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ: Corpus Christi, Cycle C

Delving into the mystery of the Eucharist, we never feel deserted. An overflowing of sacramental grace inviting us to look beyond the simple elements of bread and wine to spiritually see Jesus' Real Presence. At each mass, an invitation to eat the bread and drink from the cup in remembrance of Him. We join the communion line formed at the Last Supper and continues around the globe each day. How many people have received the host and drinked of the cup thru the millenniums? An act of love as Jesus gives His body for you. The cup offering the new covenant in His blood that you do in remembrance of Him. Walking in the communion line, we should not be in robo model of repetitive Sunday obligation, but realize we continue to proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes again in the context of our lives and human experience. The affirmation of AMEN must not be a hollow utterance, but a sincere appreciation for the precious gift acclaimed with belief.
What do we do with the gift of Eucharist? In Abram's encounter with Malchizedek, King of Jerusalem and prefiguration of Christ, he gave a tenth of everything. Not just his money, every tenth goat, camel and sheep, ten percent of the crops or lands, but ten percent of everything. Receiving the Eucharist calls us not to give just a portion of ourselves to the Lord, but everything of who and what we are. Not as a duty, but inherent by the meaning of Eucharist, thanksgiving, we offer our thanksgiving by the way we live. Fully satisfied at the Eucharistic table, an encounter with the Divine ceases our yearnings. We enter the mystery to realize all Jesus did for us on the cross, His presence in our hands and in the cup each day and His covenant with us for our eternal salvation. As the living bread that came down from heaven, Jesus gives us life today and forever. Life to be at peace. Life to love. Life to have hope. Life to have courage. Life to serve others. Life to believe Gospel precepts are greater than hate. Life to believe Jesus includes, not excludes. Life to believe in the gift we receive at each mass call us to be a gift to others in the world. How that manifests differs in each person reflecting their God given persona. Our AMEN, saying I believe to what I am receiving and all the Lord did and is and will become for us eternally, in receiving the Eucharist becomes a collective AMEN of all believers unified as the Body of Christ in Spirit and action to become what we have received in the world.
Individual Reflection: Luke 9:11b-17
Attend daily mass each day this week to receive the gift of Eucharist every day.
Family Reflection: 1st Corinthians 11:23-26
As a family, spend time prayerfully before the Blessed Sacrament this week
Prayer: Spend time this week at adoration

Scholar Interns with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella
As part of her experience as a 2018 Jeff Ubben Posse Fellow, Dickinson Scholar Amara Anigbo spent the summer working at Microsoft Headquarters in Seattle, Washington, where she was mentored by the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella.
Amara is a rising junior majoring in computer science and the second Ubben Fellow to hail from Los Angeles. She hopes to pursue a career in cyber law.
"It was a dream, absolutely perfect," she says. "I learned so much in the weeks I was at Microsoft. It's hard to put into words how great of a leader Satya is."
"There is incredible power when someone believes in you and sees your potential."
During Amara's time at Microsoft, she conducted research on an AI program called Compass, which is used by the judicial system for sentence recommendations based on demographics. Her research looked at how the algorithm and artificial intelligence can differently affect people of certain demographics. She presented her findings to a panel of Microsoft executives, detailing the ethical implications of the program and providing recommendations on approaches Microsoft can take to address its biases.
In addition to her research, she gained hands-on experience in different departments at Microsoft—including cybersecurity, sales and information technology—and participated in a range of special Microsoft events.
Amara says seeing diverse leaders at the top of a company like Microsoft gives her confidence to succeed.
"It is important to have representation," she says. "One of the things that scared me and made me nervous was not seeing anyone that looked like me in the field, or even in classes that I was taking at Dickinson. I don't want that to ever be the case for anyone."
Amara says Posse has been a critical support in giving her additional drive to pursue her career dreams.
"Posse believes in you so much," she says. "There is incredible power when someone believes in you and sees your potential."
Amara has emerged as a strong leader on campus at Dickinson. She is the director of academics and professional development at her sorority. In this role, she organizes workshops on writing resumes and cover letters, posts internship openings, and holds LinkedIn profile photo sessions.
Amara's supervisor at Microsoft has connected her with graduate researchers and professors at the University of Washington, so she can continue the work she began as an Ubben Fellow. She plans to return to Microsoft next summer for a second internship.

Day two in the battle with the phone and cable companiesI wrote all about day one in the battle yesterday, but Blogger ate the post, and I didn't retype it. Suffice it to say, I wasted nearly four hours of my time yesterday getting absolutely nothing accomplished. Ugh.
In June, we transferred our Verizon cell phone out here, finally. Tai had finished up his contract in Arizona, so we got a new Virginia cell number with Verizon. Unfortunately, we also got a new account number - which they didn't tell us. We never open the wireless bills, because they're always the same amount, and we use bill pay at the bank. So we didn't realize we were paying on the wrong account until yesterday. What a hassle. Arizona can't just transfer the money to Virginia. Nooo, that would be too easy. They're going to send us a check, and then we'll have to turn around and mail it to Verizon here in Virginia. What a pain.
The cable company? Oh this is a fun story. Instead of transferring our service like they were supposed to at the end of August, decided instead to leave the old account open, and open a brand new account at the new address when we moved. Terrific. And then they charged us a billion dollars (Ok, only $110) for installation, when all they had to do was flip a couple of switches. In order to get this all straightened out, they had to close out the old account, close out our current account, and start a BRAND new account. The old account won't physically be shut off until the 29th, so we'll still be getting a bill - which she told me to ignore - for the old address. I paid a partial payment (which, with the installation charges, came up to $20 more than our regular bill) on the current account. And next month, we'll be getting a bill for the real account, which will be a 2 month bill - because it is a new account. Aaaaaaaagh!
At least it's all finally settled. I hope.

The golf retail market in the U.S. remains challenged, largely impacted by the fact that Millennials are not picking up the game at the rate that Boomers are aging out of it. As I wrote about here, there are major structural issues which have hurt this business.
Golf equipment sales were challenged in 2016 and look to be even worse in 2017; total golf sales year-to-date through November 2017 declined in the mid-teens. Across key categories including golf clubs, balls, and gloves, sales have not fared positively.
Specifically, golf club sales—an indicator of new players entering the game—were down by more than 20 percent. Nike's exit from the category accounted for about 13 percent of the total decline in clubs. Of the major brands, only Cobra picked up a low-teens sales increase and +260 basis points in share. Callaway and TaylorMade both acquired share from the Nike void, but have experienced a decline in club sales over last year. A bright spot for the category, however, was a 5 percent increase in the average selling price.
Golf ball sales—an indicator of rounds played—declined in the mid-single digits. The Nike golf ball clearance has had a negative impact on the category, as has a sales decline from category share leader Titleist. TaylorMade, Callaway, and Top Flite, who appear to have benefited from Nike's exit, grew between 110-250 basis points year-to-date.
Of the top 15 brands in golf, Cobra, Top Flite, and Pride were the ones to show gains year-to-date.
The golf equipment business is a market share game right now; for someone to win, others must lose. What the golf industry needs to focus on is participation, both in terms of holding onto their existing participants and adopting new ones.

Fez is a 2D platforming joy to play. If you're into exploring, this game is for you. The controls are simple. Arrow keys for movement, up for going in doors, a button for jump, 2 buttons for shifting perspective either left or right, a button to interact and a button to talk. When you shift perspective its like a whole new map. When you shift perspective its like a whole new 2D level even if its the same area, making the game unique.
So what do you do in Fez? Collect cubes and bits. Yep, 8 bits make 1 cube. The whole game is based on collecting cubes in a giant beautiful world. What do you do with the cubes? Not much…. unlock doors to access new areas. When you're in the level itself you'll see bits send out rippling diamonds so if a bit even if its behind a wall. It is just less wasted time looking for something when you need to twist the level around four times. There are puzzles to figure out that make for a nice challenging diversion different than anything else in the game which is mostly just traversal and exploration.
Then why play Fez? The game is just soothing and relaxing. Good music, beautiful art style full of color, and most importantly very forgiving gameplay. You really can't die. You will respawn from exactly where you were. There are no enemies, but you will fall to your death a lot only to respawn where you were, thus preventing situations where you're at the top of a tower and fall only to reclimb. The respawn prevents that. Platforming is forgiving this way, not to mention the fact you can catch onto ledges and pull yourself up or drop down.
Thankfully the game has a good map system that shows you warp gates, small gates, treasures, locked doors, cubes, bits and secrets that you haven't found in each area. Plus if you've been in an area before, you can see a glimpse of the area through the door before you enter the area. On top of that, you can see areas in the background, that when you enter the door the camera will slowly drift that background area to become the new area you're in. Its a really nice system, I just wish the transition was faster.
There is so much quality content here with diverse vibrant colors, complete with a day and night cycle to ensure the area will look different even if its your 10th time there. In all, its a game focused around exploration and traversal made by a man that the Internet seems to hate.

Bea is returned to the unit and enlists Maxine's help to infiltrate Franky's gang.
Meanwhile, Doreen's pregnancy is revealed due to her unknowingly using Maxine's urine, which showed signs of the hormones she was using for her hormone replacement therapy. It is not long before Ferguson learns that Nash is the father. The situation reminds Ferguson of how - some years before - she looked after a young, pregnant inmate who committed suicide when her newborn baby was taken into care, devastating Ferguson.
Harry arrives at Wentworth and demands to see Bea. When Will refuses, Harry accuses them of having an affair, causing some of the other staff members, including Rose, to suspect that it is true. Will decides to tell Ferguson immediately in order to reduce any chances of him being investigated for inappropriate behavior. Upon learning this, Ferguson utilizes the situation and blackmails Doreen - if she names Will as the father - she won't inform Walford Prison of Nash's involvement so it doesn't jeopardize his chances of going on parole. Doreen refuses. In flashbacks, we eventually learn why Ferguson is so desperate to implicate Will: he was the social worker who took the baby into care and she wishes to take revenge on him for it. To punish Doreen for not complying with her wishes, Ferguson slaughters Doreen (& Nash's) pet bird and tosses its corpse into her cell.
