Decision may help more patients access RTI's SImmetry® Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System, a minimally invasive surgical solution for sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama is the largest provider of healthcare benefits in Alabama, covering over 3 million people
Deerfield, Ill., April 4, 2019 -- RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RTIX), a global surgical implant company, applauds Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama (BCBSAL), the largest provider of healthcare benefits in Alabama, for issuing a positive coverage decision for minimally invasive sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion surgery, effective March 18, 2019. This decision expands access to RTI's SImmetry Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System for appropriate BCBSAL members considering treatment for SI joint pain or dysfunction. The SImmetry System is a minimally invasive surgical solution that uses proprietary decortication technology, bone graft and threaded fixation to facilitate bone fusion, providing an opportunity for long-term pain relief.
"RTI is encouraged by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama's recent decision to expand treatment options for patients with SI joint pain or dysfunction," said Camille Farhat, President and CEO, RTI Surgical. "The effectiveness of the SImmetry System is supported by a growing body of evidence suggesting long-term pain reduction and improved quality of life for patients. We look forward to sharing more data from the ongoing EVoluSIon Clinical Study in 2019."
It has been reported that up to 30 percent of all chronic low back pain, the second most common cause of disability in American adults, is due to SI joint dysfunction. SI joint fusion surgery using the SImmetry System is designed to stabilize the dysfunctional SI joint by fusing the sacrum and the pelvic bone together.
Enrollment for the EVoluSIon Clinical Study evaluating the impact of the SImmetry System on SI joint fusion and pain reduction in 250 patients has been completed across 23 sites. An early analysis of the first 50 patients published in December 2017 showed over 50% pain reduction reported by patients at 6 months post-procedure, as well as 50% fewer patients who were on opioids at 6 months post-procedure.i A separate study on the SImmetry System demonstrated a 73 percent reduction in average pain over 24 months.ii Clinical outcomes from 100 patients presented at the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery (ISASS) 2018 Annual Meeting showed the SImmetry System provided a 56 percent reduction in average patient-reported pain, and a statistically significant reduction in the use of opioids and other pain medications at six months.iii

Pierce has Celtics win away from title in '08 flashback
Mon., June 14, 2010
BOSTON – It's looking a lot like 2008 again, with Paul Pierce carrying the Boston Celtics to victory in the NBA finals and leading them to the brink of yet another title.
Pierce scored 27 points – his best performance of this year's finals – and the Celtics withstood 38 points from Kobe Bryant to beat the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers 92-86 on Sunday night and take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.
Game 6 is Tuesday night in Los Angeles, and a victory then or in Game 7 in L.A. on Thursday would give the Celtics a record 18th NBA title.
The Celtics have never blown a 3-2 lead in the NBA finals.
"You don't want to go out to LA down 3-2. It was our biggest game of the year," Pierce said. "We're in a good spot. We have two games in L.A.; now we have to get one."
Pierce was the MVP of the '08 finals, when the new Big Three beat the Lakers to raise an NBA-record 17th banner to the rafters at Boston's TD Garden. Bryant was the finals MVP last year, when the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic to win their 15th championship.
"I wasn't in a personal duel," Pierce said. "I didn't notice that we were going back-and-forth scoring at the time. He's a tough player. He makes shots."
Bryant outscored Pierce this time, but the Lakers' guard got little help from his teammates. And the stretch where he was most dominant was also the time when the Celtics pulled away.
Kevin Garnett scored 18 points with 10 rebounds and Rajon Rondo had 18 points, eight assists and five rebounds to help Boston become the first team in the series to win two games in a row. If Los Angeles can't do the same at home, the Celtics will improve to 10-2 against them in the finals dating to a 4-0 sweep over the Minneapolis Lakers in 1959.
"It's basically home-court," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "That's the way it's supposed to be, isn't it?"
Bryant did everything he could to send the Lakers home with the edge.
He scored 23 straight Lakers points between the 4:23 mark of the second quarter until there was 2:16 left in the third. But over that span, the Celtics expanded the lead from one point to 13.
"I just tried to keep telling them, it's only two points each time he scores. It's not 10," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "It's just like if someone else was scoring. … I love that our guys for the most part, they understood what he was doing. But we defended everyone else. And I thought it was big."
The Lakers got within six points several times, but never within five until Bryant made three free throws to make it 87-82 with 90 seconds left.
After each team missed shots, the Celtics called timeout. A desperate inbounds pass went to Pierce, who fed Rondo under the basket before falling out of bounds, and Rondo made an over-the-head layup to make it 89-82 with 36 seconds left.
"I was just showing off my Randy Moss and my (Tom) Brady the whole play," Pierce said. "I was Randy when I caught it; then Brady on my pass to Rondo."
Bryant missed a series of desperation 3-pointers down the stretch, and when Ray Allen made two free throws with 19 seconds left and Garnett one of two with 8.9 to play, it was over.
Pau Gasol scored 12 points with 12 rebounds and Derek Fisher, the Game 3 star, scored all nine of his points in the first quarter.
Morrison active
Lakers forward Adam Morrison was active for the first time in the NBA finals and third time in Los Angeles' 20 playoff games. He replaced center DJ Mbenga, who has played in just two of those 20 games. The former Gonzaga standout did not play.

Why do elections matter to interest groups?
Academic perspectives and experience-based insights
It's not rare that only a handful of issues dominate an election period. And because of this, it's also not rare to find that more and more citizens are becoming issue voters. However, this is no coincidence. For democracies around the world, interest groups are highly active around election times to ensure certain policy issues are heard about, voted for, and ultimately acted on.
While some groups give money or endorse particular candidates; others may help candidates without any endorsement. Some groups may engage in direct contact with politicians to shape their positions or a particular issue, or seek to increase voter turnout within specific constituencies by contacting prospective voters or campaigning within certain districts. Some groups may choose to run local or national advertisements on the radio, internet or television. And while some groups focus exclusively on one of these activities, others do them all.
But why is this the case? Why do interest groups engage during election times anyway? After all, elections—although a pivotal moment in politics—can create high stakes for interest groups. Becoming involved in an election could run the risk of a group being associated, or falsely-associated, with a political party, potentially jeopardizing a group's reputation. This is especially risky for groups if they affiliate themselves with a losing party, as this decreases their chances of shaping future policy debates.
Yet at the same time, there are many benefits that election times can bring. Groups may also be motivated to engage in elections to ensure their political allies are elected or re-elected to support certain issues, or endorse candidates to safeguard political access following the vote. Besides that, citizens are typically very politically engaged during election times, making it a unique period for groups to potentially receive more attention from citizens and persuade them to vote for certain issues, or convince parties to make their individual concerns a collective policy priority to voters.
Collective lobbying efforts to ensure maximum visibility of specific policy asks
To make better sense of this topic, during my Master in Public Administration (MPA) at Leiden University, my thesis, supervised by Dr. Bert Fraussen, explored how interest groups politically engage during elections. Through a single case study on Canada's 42nd national election, I analyzed 31 national environmental groups (ENGOs). Interestingly, for the first time in Canada's electoral history, environment was ranked a top issue, triggering a unique case to investigate how interest groups may have affected this.
My findings revealed that most groups sought to be active during election times in order to reap the benefits of influencing parties' upcoming policy plans. However, not all groups held equal capacities (i.e. resources) to effectively engage political parties, the media, and citizens about their policy asks. To remedy this, it was found that groups not only strategized based on their own interests, but rather in coordination with one another. In this way, this approach created a sort of unofficial 'division of labour,' that divvied up lobbying activities to maximize exposure of their policy priorities. This was particularly effective as it played to the strengths of each ENGO, given an election's short time period. For instance, while some groups prioritized an insider lobbying approach such as consulting directly with political parties, other groups simultaneously prioritized outsider approaches such as utilizing media to mobilize citizens on issues. This served a purpose of efficiency, and ensured a level of organizational maintenance, particularly for lower resourced or member-based groups, who could now concentrate their resources to satisfy members' requests, which they may not otherwise be able to balance independently.
Altogether, my research showed that elections are important times for interest groups to oversee and react to policy positions of political parties, and to inform the public. So despite preconceived ideas that elections are times for interest groups to step back due to (potential) political costs, groups showed high levels of engagement and were able to successfully strategize to achieve policy and organizational wins.
Elections as a pivotal point in political strategies
After completing my research, I wanted to see for myself how such activities actually take shape within interest groups. For me, this meant seeking experience through two internships; one in the public sector and one in the private sector.
In the public sector, I interned for the World Resources Institute (WRI), a global environmental think tank. Situated in The Hague, I worked at its liaison office, which supports and maintains partnerships for its seven other programmatic offices worldwide. Partnerships existed amongst various governments; multi-national businesses such as Google or Ikea; universities; NGOs; and other intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations or the World Bank, to name a few. In the private sector, I interned at Heineken's Headquarters in the Global Governmental and Public Affairs team in Amsterdam. Here, the team facilitates external relations, lobbying and communications with policymakers and industry players, as well as provides guidance to its operating companies around the world on political matters.
When comparing these two internships, it became clear that despite each group holding their own distinct political motives, one thing remained fundamentally the same: both actively seek to influence policy environments they operate in, and use elections as one point of departure to determine their lobbying plan of action.
For instance, as an intern, this involved collecting background research and regularly reporting on current events, national policy environments, and tracking political party platforms (i.e. policy agendas) where each group operated in. In doing so, I noticed that while my task at WRI was to understand how policy changes could positively or negatively affect core partnerships; my work monitoring policy environments at Heineken was used to craft lobby plans to ensure costs of doing business were lowered or maintained. So, while both groups used elections as a surveillance tool to impact policy, one aimed for cost-savings for business practices (Heineken) and the other for financial assistance or funding for programmatic work and initiatives (WRI).
The importance of an in-depth understanding of the constantly changing political environment
To this extent, both my MPA thesis work and internships confirm that a key activity of interest groups is to closely monitor their political environments. And although this may happen in different ways for different reasons, it's clear that groups must understand what's happening around them, and be cognizant of how their respective political institutions impact their work. Looking back at these experiences, my MPA has prepared me for positions in both sectors by sharpening my analytical skills to be both critical and adaptable in recognizing these patterns in the workplace. That said, I think students and scholars of public administration can provide valuable contributions to both private and public sectors alike. So, the next time an election that matters to you is approaching, take a look at what groups are doing (as opposed to only parties), you may be surprised what you find, and what this tells you.

Mr Handz Datdodishes
Unfortunately Peter is an artist, recent medical advances have still not found a cure for this crippling condition that renders Peter unable to conduct himself correctly in public places as he lives in a make believe fantasy world that expired sometime around 1979. As part of Peters rehabilitation we are trawling him around the galleries to allow him to experience full immersion therapy which will hopefully knock this silly artist idea out of his head and make him get a proper job.
Peter will be on display this weekend at two venues for you to come along and poke, the first is Castle Galleries, Cribbs Causeway, Bristol on Saturday 9th between 2-5pm and the second is on Sunday 10th at Castle Galleries, Chester between 12-3pm.
All events are free, just turn up on the day where Peter will be happy to chat to you about his awkward 'artist' condition and to also offer advice on how to create a blog entry from nothing more than an orange, two rubber gloves and a piece of paper.
Both events will be stuffed full with Impossimals and the new Bloodlines collection, you may even get a few hints as to the solution of the murder encoded within the eight paintings…
See you this weekend 🙂

Getting your boobs fondled in a car, wielding a bloody knife, and frolicking around in a pretty dress in the streets of L.A. sounds like a pretty normal night out on the town for Miss Lindsay Lohan, right?
It's only been two weeks since Lohan's house arrest sentence was lifted, and in typical Lohan fashion, she had to do something to stir up a commotion. So, naturally, she arranged for a photoshoot with the edgy photographer Tyler Shields.
In the montage of photos, Lohan dances with Spencer Falls in a luxurious gold gown in the middle of a street, before killing Shields herself with a blood-splattered knife. And while all the photos hold shock value, the one that has received the most attention is the soon-to-be infamous Lindsay Lohan boob grab.
In the black and white picture, Lohan is seen up close staring wide-eyed out the window whilst letting her dude companion, Spencer Falls, fondle her pretty intensely.
Sheilds, who has an in-your-face, gritty aesthetic, is known for taking young starlets and photographing them doing outrageous things.
One must admit, even if you don't care for Lohan, she does look stunning.

Spirits were high as the Year 4s headed off on their residential trip to PGL last week for an outdoor adventure like no other. The children's chants of 'Parents Get Lost' became louder as we neared closer, and once we arrived at PGL Marchants Hill the excitement was palpable.
Then, the heavens opened, and we were drenched with unremitting rain for the next 48 hours (excluding a dry Thursday morning). However, the children were so engaged and having so much fun quad biking, raft building, rifle shooting, problem solving and zip wiring that they hardly noticed! Also let's not forget the giant swing which appeared to be a firm favourite with many! The PGL staff's enthusiasm, sense of fun and of course their singing, meant the rain wasn't allowed to dampen anyone's spirits and a great time was had by all, with children creating memories that will last for a long time.
The food was of Michelin star quality, and Gabby, our group leader, was excellent; keeping the children organised and engaged in games and fun. There were six standout campers who received awards for their effort, positive attitude and exemplary behaviour. The awards go to: Petra, Phoenix, Joana, Aron, Myriam and Christopher.
Well done everyone in Year 4, it was an excellent trip!

One of the most exciting milestones in a person's life is when they purchase a home. Some people get so caught up in all of the excitement that they forget to ask the important questions. This is especially the case when the home is a newly constructed home because people have a tendency to believe that everything is brand new and ready to go. However, there are still important things that must be taken into consideration before you buy the new construction home to make sure this investment is the right decision for you and your family.
Many people who are purchasing newly constructed homes have only seen the model home in the development. The builder is going to entice you into purchasing the home by showing you the nicest model, but that model is usually a much nicer than the base model. This is a similar situation to purchasing a car, where you test drive the high end, expensive model but the base has far fewer features. It is important to ask the builder what the home comes with completely standard and then inquire about how much it will cost to upgrade some of those features to what you saw in the model home.
It is also important that you inquire about any warranties on the new home. A lot of times, there is a workmanship warranty and a structural warranty available. Just like any other warranty, it is important to know exactly what is covered and how long you have coverage for. Purchasing a home is a major investment and you may want to speak with other people in the neighborhood who have already built a home to determine the reliability and the level of satisfaction these customers have with the builder. If you have questions about purchasing a home, contact an experienced real estate attorney who can assist you.
If you require experienced legal representation for any of your residential and commercial real estate, bankruptcy, or family law matters, contact the Mark Scollar Law Office today to schedule a consultation.

Aftercare is a FREE service provided to all former patients and family members to attend for life and is offered weekly at several convenient locations!
Recovery doesn't end when a treatment program is completed. Substance use disorders are understood to be chronic illnesses rather than ones with a one-time cure. For people who are in recovery, this simply means they must be prepared to monitor and manage addiction through ongoing engagement in recovery-related activities. For some, sticking to healthy hobbies and habits is enough to stay on track; but research shows that the best way to avoid relapse is to attend regular meetings, therapy sessions or other part-time support groups.
At Cumberland Heights, we are proud of the community that we establish with every set of clients. We know that when people come through our programs, they create a one-of-a-kind bond and become familiar with the particular brand of recovery that we provide. Many of our alumni want to continue as part of this unique group of individuals and find it helpful to keep in touch throughout their lifelong recovery journey. One of the ways we accomplish this while providing the kind of support necessary for long-term recovery is through our Aftercare program.
The Alumni Aftercare Program
The Alumni Aftercare program at Cumberland Heights is an ongoing support network for previous patients as well as family members. Once a patient has been discharged from residential or outpatient treatment with us, they will be recommended to attend Aftercare each week for a minimum of one year, though meetings are open free of charge to alumni for life. Many Aftercare participants continue to attend meetings for much longer than one year, as the group becomes a solid component in their recovery routine. The comfort and calm that comes from being surrounded by people who have been through the same program is often a relief during the transition from full-time care to independent life, and during times of stress even years after program completion.
The goal of Aftercare is to foster and encourage accountability, identify and arrest relapse symptoms and nurture long-term recovery. These meetings provide a safe space for our alumni to gather, talk about their experiences, share their recent successes or worries and work together to provide support for one another at all stages of recovery. Aftercare is a free service provided to all former patients and family members to attend for life, and is offered weekly at several convenient locations across the state of Tennessee.
We do emphasize that our Aftercare program is not a substitute for AA, NA, CA, Al-Anon or other 12-Step groups. We utilize elements of 12-Step programming in our residential and outpatient treatment because we believe in the power of incremental, goal-oriented recovery, but our Aftercare is proprietary and designed to serve as a space of connection for Cumberland Heights alumni. We encourage our Aftercare participants to also find a 12-Step group in their area and attend these meetings alongside our Aftercare groups; they offer different types of support that benefit recovery in different ways.
Aftercare Groups & Schedules Around Tennessee
While many of our in-person alumni events are based at our campus outside of Tennessee, we know that not all of our alumni are local — so our aftercare meetings are available in 10 different locations across the state. We have over 50 weekly aftercare meetings available depending on your location and your schedule. We feel Aftercare is a vital part of long-term sobriety, so we do our best to make it available to you at your convenience; we don't want it to be difficult for you to find a group of supportive people in your community.

The IESG contact persons are Mirja Kühlewind and Spencer Dawkins. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tsvwg-le-phb/
Technical Summary This document specifies properties and characteristics of a Lower Effort (LE) per-hop behavior (PHB). The primary objective of this LE PHB is to protect best-effort (BE) traffic (packets forwarded with the default PHB) from LE traffic in congestion situations, i.e., when resources become scarce, best-effort traffic has precedence over LE traffic and may preempt it. Alternatively, packets forwarded by the LE PHB can be associated with a scavenger service class, i.e., they scavenge otherwise unused resources only. There are numerous uses for this PHB, e.g., for background traffic of low precedence, such as bulk data transfers with low priority in time, non time-critical backups, larger software updates, web search engines while gathering information from web servers and so on. This document recommends a standard DSCP value for the LE PHB. This specification obsoletes RFC 3662 and updates the DSCP recommended in RFC 4594 and RFC 8325 to use the DSCP assigned in this specification. When Diffserv was originally designed, interest in less-than-best effort (aka scavenger) forwarding behavior eventually resulted in publication of RFC 3662 which specified the Diffserv Lower Effort (LE) PHB/PDB. In 20/20 hindsight, RFC 3662 had a number of drawbacks, as it was not a full PHB specification and in particular did not recommend a default DSCP (Diffserv Codepoint) for Lower Effort traffic. The default DSCP recommendation eventually occurred in practice as a side effect of publishing RFC 4594 on Diffserv Service Classes. The recommended DSCP, CS1, has turned out to be problematic in practice - e.g., see the discussion of CS1 in RFC 7657 on Diffserv interaction with real time communication. This draft cleans up the LE PHB situation by providing a full PHB specification of the Lower Effort PHB that obsoletes RFC 3662 and recommends a newly chosen default DSCP, 000001, which is expected to avoid the problems encountered with CS1 and provide a solid Diffserv specification for lower effort/less-than-best-effort/scavenger traffic. Proposed Standard is appropriate for this document in support of consistent deployment of the updated LE PHB as part of Diffserv. Working Group Summary The Transport Area WG (tsvwg) is a collection of people with varied interests that don't individually justify their own working groups. Specifying the Lower Effort PHB was relatively straightforward in the WG. In contrast, determining which DSCP to recommend as the default for that PHB was not. The underlying problem is that a non-negligible amount of deployed Internet equipment "bleaches" the three most significant bits of the DSCP field in IP headers to zero, even though that violates Diffserv requirements. This made it problematic to use the initially suggested 000010 value, as that value can and does result from this three-bit bleaching of DSCP values for higher priority traffic that should not be forwarded as lower effort (LE) traffic. After much discussion and evaluation of measurement results on Internet traffic in both TSVWG and MAPRG, the TSVWG working group chose 000001 value as the recommended default DSCP. This decision necessitated publication of RFC 8436 to change the IANA procedures for managing the DSCP registry so that this DSCP value 000001 could be assigned as the default DSCP for the LE PHB in this document. Document Quality This draft is supported by the portion of the tsvwg working group that is familiar with and interested in Diffserv. The draft has received significant review and critique from a number of Diffserv experts, including the draft shepherd, David Black, and Brian Carpenter, one of the original chairs of the Diffserv WG. There is clear consensus in the TSVWG WG on the need to update the LE PHB specification to replace and obsolete RFC 3662. Personnel Document Shepherd: David Black Responsible AD: Spencer Dawkins
RFC Editor Note Because this draft formally updates draft-ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos, which is approved but waiting in the MISSREF state, we ask the RFC Editor to take the following actions: Please make the changes described in Section 12 of this draft to draft-ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos. Please replace [RFCXXXX] in the updated text with the RFC number assigned to this draft. Please add [RFCXXXX] (with the RFC number assigned to this draft) as a normative reference in draft-ietf-tsvwg-rtcweb-qos. Please remove Section 12 from this draft (because all those changes have already been applied).

The 7 Best Women's Running Socks
There are so many ways running socks can do you wrong, aren't there? They can bunch up around your ankles; they can make you sweat profusely; they can be so paper-thin that your feet get sore. If you're going to enjoy your workouts, you need the best women's running socks you can find. After all, you've gone through the effort of dragging yourself out the door — you might as well have a decent pair of footwear.
High-quality running socks will offer you a number of things. First, the fabric will be breathable and won't trap moisture, allowing you to work up a good, hard sweat without soaking up puddles of water around your ankles. They will offer temperature control, keeping your feet warm on crisp, early morning jogs while cooling them down on hot, sunny midday runs.
You also want your running socks to be comfortable and fit you properly. They should be snug and secure enough that they don't slip down while offering cozy cushioning to absorb impact, particularly if you do any trail running or hard sprints. Lastly, you should be able to put them on before your run without being afraid you'll come home an hour later with giant blisters running up and down your ankles.
Whether you're a bonafide marathon runner or a novice just getting into the sport, there's a pair of great workout socks on this list for you.
1. A Hi-Tech Compression Sock That Reduces Muscle Soreness
Feetures Elite Lite Cushion Running Socks, $13-29, Amazon
Whether you're already an elite performance runner, or simply want to run more effortlessly (or shave off time), Feetures' Sock-Lock technology will blow you away with its targeted compression system. The tigher-fitting fabric in these cushioned running socks locks your muscles in place, thereby bolstering blood flow, enhancing performance, and reducing post-workout muscle soreness. The socks' anatomical design customizes the fit and the seamless toe makes them ultra comfortable. If that's not enough, Feetures' iWick material wicks away moisture to keep your feet dry, too.
2. An Antimicrobial Sock That Uses Silver Ions To Fight Odor
Balega Silver Antimicrobial No-Show Running Socks, $15, Amazon
The odor management system in these antimicrobial running socks is nothing short of miraculous. Using little beads of silver ions that are woven into the yarn, Balega's Drynamix fabric is activated via movement, releasing antibacterial ions when you run that fight mold and fungi while minimizing odor from sweat. On top of that, the socks are amazingly comfortable with locked-in heel and mid-foot areas that allow your toes to move freely and mitigate blisters.
3. A Six-Pack Of Quality Socks That Are Super Affordable
Kold Feet Women's Visual Athletic Low Cut Sock, $16 (6 Pack), Amazon
A perfect blend of high-performance and affordability, these running socks are made of a polyester and cotton blend with a touch of spandex. The moisture-wicking fibers help to prevent blisters, fight odor, and can even keep your feet cool. They offer cushioned soles that help absorb shock and reduce impact as well as a padded heel and toe for improved durability. Best of all, they come in a six-pack for just 16 bucks, making them less than three bucks a pair.
4. A Super Cute Toe Sock That Fits Right And Won't Bunch
Injinji Mini-Crew Women's Running Socks, $14, Amazon
If you can't resist an adorable toesock, these mini-crews from Injinji make a great choice. The female-specific design features a narrow foot shape with a stretchy heel-to-toe fit that allows the fabric to expand across your arch, delivering circulation-boosting compression along with comfort. Each toe sleeve is super snug and won't bunch, blister, or give you that loose-fitting feeling when you move. As a bonus, these socks are great for hiking, too.
5. A Wool Running Sock That Offers Temperature Regulation
Pure Athlete No-Show Wool Running Socks, $15-35, Amazon
These fantastically warm and comfy socks from Pure Athlete are exactly what you want if you live in a chillier climate or run in the mornings when it's still cold and dark outside. Made with a special wool yarn that controls temperature, the socks deliver all of the benefits of wool without the itchiness. The blend of merino, polypropylene, nylon, and spandex wicks away moisture, too, and will ensure that your feet stay dry and don't get wet or cold. The socks also feature an awesome mesh top that ventilates and keeps them breathable.
6. A Colorful Crew-Length Sock That Reduces Plantar Fasciitis
HUSO Athletic Quarter Running Socks, $24, Amazon
Some of us prefer crew-length running socks to the no-show design — if that's you, these are a superb option. Aside from being super cute and available in 28 color and quantity choices, these imported running socks have a smooth toe seam that reduces bulk while making them feel extra soft. Built with moisture-wicking Sorbtek fabric, they are amazingly dry and breathable, even when you're working hard. Lastly, they feature compression-fitting technology starting mid-foot that delivers arch support and is helpful for folks who are prone to plantar fasciitis.
7. A Lightweight Running Sock That's Perfect For Hot Climates
Darn Tough Coolmax Vertex Ultralight Running Sock, $16, Amazon
These thin, ultra-light running socks offer excellent breathability and moisture-management, not to mention a customized fit that helps fight blisters, hot spots, and the dreaded "slipping down to your ankle and bunching up in the back of your sneaker" effect. The best part, though, is that the fabric is 27 percent lighter than the company's other no-show sock, making them a fabulous choice if you live in a hot climate or tend to work out in the middle of the midday sun. They come in seven colors including aqua, clover, deep purple, white, black, vibrant orange, and sulfur spring.

Honeymoon Inspiration: Which Caribbean Island with Sandals Resorts | Jamaica and Saint Lucia
When it comes to the Caribbean you are totally spoilt for choice with no less than 7000 islands that make up the Caribbean!
Each Caribbean island though share the same beauty, has something very different and equally alluring to offer. Sad to be bringing our delightful Caribbean honeymoon inspiration series with Nu Bride Ambassador Sandals to an end, today we introduce you sunny Saint Lucia and the gorgeous island of Jamaica, one of the largest Caribbean islands, my heritage and also the birth home of Gordon Butch Stewart the owner of Sandals resorts.
Psst…. If you missed our first two introductions to the beauty that is the Caribbean, you can discover, Barbados and Grenada here and Antigua and Bahama's here
The birthplace of Blue Mountain Coffee, reggae and jerk, Jamaica is an island filled with natural beauty that will take your breath away.
It is also home to some of the friendliest and most hospitable people you will ever meet.
What makes Jamaica unique is that it has something for everyone. For those keen to dive into the heart of a bustling Caribbean town, Montego Bay, Jamaica's second largest city is the perfect choice, as it's vibrant and jam-packed with fun activities to keep you busy. Characterised by lush foliage, rolling mountains.
Negril, known as the exotic playground of choice for fun-loving pleasure seekers, offers a blissful ambiance of laid-back cool and uninhibited revelry, with seven miles of unimaginably silky white sand beach and Whitehouse, on Jamaica's largely undeveloped South Coast, offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
For those looking for a romantic trip to Jamaica, Sandals Ochi Beach Resort is the perfect option. Grandly set on over one hundred pristine acres of lush rolling hillside and tropical gardens on the beautiful North Coast of Jamaica, Sandals Ochi boasts a hot new beach club, 16 gourmet restaurants, 11 bars including the Caribbean's first speakeasy, two luxurious Red Lane® Spas and nearby access to one of the Caribbean's finest golf courses, Sandals Golf & Country Club.

Beaches Resorts are the ideal option for those looking for a multi-generational celebration with the ones they love. Perfect for, Buddymoons; growing in popularity, instead of leaving family and friends at home following the wedding ceremony, an increasing number of couples are deciding to fly off to sunnier climes to continue the celebration with their loved ones in tow.
Discover the world-renowned Dunn's River Falls, Ocho Rios, located roughly in the centre of Jamaica's North coast, is a nature lover's paradise. It even boasts Fern Gully, a winding five-mile shallow canyon carved out by a long–dried–up river, that now hosts over 500 species of ferns and some tropical flora that you would be hard–pressed to find outside of a rainforest.
Whilst in Jamaica, escape to a world of rustic charm at The River Bumpkin Farm. Nestled in the heart of the lush Trelawny forests, this gorgeous plantation takes you off-the-beaten-path to a site brimming with exciting eco-excursions. With everything from river tubing and kayaking down the Martha Brae River to bicycle trekking past historic ruins, The River Bumpkin Farm is the perfect place to enjoy.
Saint Lucia
Boasting a drive–through volcano, as well as its own National Rain Forest Reserve with over 19,000 colour–splashed acres of natural wonders, Saint Lucia's exotic beauty truly captures the luxuriant allure of the Caribbean. From the distinctive twin peaks of Les Pitons to the cascading majesty of Diamond Falls and the translucent turquoise sea that frames it all, Saint Lucia dazzles the eye as it seduces the body and spirit.
Saint Lucia is also renowned as one of the top sites for whale watching in the entire world. Every year over 20 species of whales are sighted from the island's pristine shores.

Snaking up the misty, jungle-covered, boulder-strewn mountainside for the huge views from the top, is an experience well worth the hike. Afterwards, head to a rest stop for a sumptuous lunch of local delicacies and a refreshing swim in the Caribbean Sea.
Just delicious! Enjoy exploring these stunning Caribbean island for your honeymoon choices. Paradise on earth.

For my day off, I bought a Rick & Morty Portal Gun at Movie Trading Company (Vintage Stock), watched two cops tackle a criminal and cuff him literally feet from where I sat eating a cheeseburger in a restaurant, and bought the Official Collector's Edition hardback book of Star Trek: Discovery. It's a little more scant than I would have thought. It's fairly smallish. I would have liked to have, for example, lots of ship designs shown since we didn't get the chance to see them properly at the Battle of the Binary Stars. Oh well, it was an impulse buy after all.January 21, 2018 at 8:52 pm #22227

I hope at some point in the future there's a publication that shows all the Trek ships used in Discovery that you can barely see on the show. They're either too small or shown too quickly and in near darkness for us to get a good look at. I like these kinds of things. Although I expect a lot of them will look as bad as those FASA designs from the '80s.January 22, 2018 at 12:01 am #22231
Tonight's episode:
Lorca revelation: I had a feeling this was what was up. Where's "our" Lorca? Is he a great dude? Is he dead? Remember that Admiral Cornwell apparently knew him pretty well (wink wink, nudge nudge), so there was a Lorca there at some point.
Tyler revelation: Looks like L'Rell's giving up on "re-Voq-ing" his human identity. Is this guy ever going to be a whole person again?
Culber revelation: …the hell? That's it?
I'm really surprised that this particular story-arc-let is taking as long to play out as it is. I'm hoping the resolution to the Klingon war doesn't seem ridiculously rushed – there are only three episodes left in the season.

Yuck… Captain Shran deserved so much better than that ugly heap of rust getting named after him. I still love the Sheppard Class, it's like a sporty hot-rod version of an NX series.
The revelation that humans from the Mirror Universe are sensitive to bright lights is the difference between the species? Really, that's what you're going with? It couldn't be that Lorca and Georgiou might have been caught up in some kind of accident that made them both light sensitive, instead there's a blanket statement that all evil universe people don't like light? Again, really? That seems a bit stupid.
So how exactly did Mirror universe Lorca get over to our universe? And why would he put together such an insanely elaborate plan to assassinate the Emperor and take over? His plan necessitated going into another universe for eight months while his allies moved into position? I wonder how much of this Bryan Fuller had scripted out and how much was drastically altered after he left the show.January 24, 2018 at 2:09 pm #22261

I want to posit a theory that we probably won't find out the truth about for a long time. I think the reason why it took so long to get Discovery going was that CBS and Paramount were fighting over Star Trek. CBS owns the TV rights, Paramount owns the movie rights but can't legally use any visual aspects of the TV shows (hence Klingons looking different along with their ships, et cetera). I'm guessing that Paramount got snippy when a new Trek was going to start up. They want a piece of the pie, since they've been propping up Star Trek's cultural legacy for years on the big screen. So to get the show finally into production and avoid getting sued by the co-owners of the IP, CBS was forced to license Star Trek from Paramount (which is something we've heard before) which also comes with Paramount's legal baggage stating that they can't use classic TV designs, be they ships, uniforms, or aliens. Hence the horrible starship designs of ships like the Shran. I also cite the quick appearance of the original USS Defiant, or at least its wireframe, on a computer screen. It had been altered to not resemble the original TV design of a Constitution-class starship.
I've been really enjoying the series so far, it seems to get better as the season goes on. They telegraph some plot twists too strongly, but there's still that sense of "what are they going to do next?" at the end of every episode. It doesn't bother me that they've abandoned the 'glass beads and meaningless buttons' look of the Cage-era Trek bridge layout and given it a visual reboot. I just wish they'd done a little better with the ship designs – I'd take the FASA Klingon ships over the ridiculously ornate, cathedral-like designs the Klingons are flitting about in now.February 13, 2018 at 4:40 pm #22422
Man, that cliffhanger was a real tear-jerker.
There's a lot of "whoa, the war ended way too quickly!" going around, and it reminds me almost exactly of the same argument about the abrupt end of the Shadow War in Babylon 5 some 20 years ago. "The war wouldn't end that quickly!"…you know, unless, of course, it does, or maybe the writers are depending on the audience to connect the dots and intuit that other things happened that are not shown.
You didn't have to be present for the Japanese foreign minister to sign the surrender bringing WWII to a close to know that WWII had ended.
The war is the backdrop that set Michael Burnham's story in motion. Michael Burnham was the story, the war was not the story. The story was Michael Burnham deciding who she really was, and in the end Starfleet/the Federation having to make the same choices (basically Michael's choices writ large). The war, as a backdrop, allowed all of this to be on the table for storytelling purposes. Even the Voq/Ash Tyler dichotomy is another way of asking "who are you, really?". And of course the Mirror Universe arc did that too. That was what this first season about, that question, and how Burnham answered it both for herself and for the world she wanted to be a part of. If Starfleet wasn't going to live up to its own ideals, why would she bother with trying to do right by Starfleet?
I was really satisfied with the first season as a whole. Part of me feels like maybe we should've spent one less week in the mirror universe and gotten back to our native timeline with more than just two episodes to spare, but again, I see why they did what they did with that element of the story.
As for the ending and the appearance of the Enterprise? We'll see where that goes. Get Bruce Greenwood in for Captain Pike and we'll talk.

Further thoughts now that I've brought up the subject of Babylon 5:
- Humans inadvertently kill alien leader, starting a war:
T'Kuvma (Discovery), Dukhat (B5)
- New captain has Something Big To Hide:
Lorca (Discovery), Sheridan (B5)
- Sleeper agent conditioned by the enemy to infiltrate humans; is left to fight his own way clear of conditioning:
Ash/Voq (Discovery), Garibaldi (B5)
- Earth on bring of being conquered when alien forces suddenly retreat:
Federation/Klingon War (Discovery), Earth/Minbari War (B5)
There are other comparisons that aren't right on the tip of my tongue, but… those are some biggies. I wonder if the writers may have subconsciously absorbed B5 from having watched it many years ago, and did some subconscious recycling of material?

I just happen to be in the middle of a re-listen (if you recall, I like to convert TV series to mp3 and listen to them in my car) of B5, so right now I've got B5 on the brain. At the end of the first season just now (and I realize that it's really, really good; it gets ripped on by a lot of people for some reason). When the (Klingon) war ended suddenly, I immediately thought of the middle of the 4th season of B5, so we're on the same wavelength. I listened to the latest Mission Log Live episode and I appreciated your astute comments comparing Discovery to Babylon 5.
I was watching the season finale with my brother and when Clint Howard came onscreen, we were practically yelling "NO WAY!". Just awesome.February 16, 2018 at 2:45 am #22436

And let's dump the showrunners again…though possibly this time for very, very good reason. [LINK]
Out are showrunners Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts, who originally took over the role at the helm of the drama from Bryan Fuller. Executive producer Alex Kurtzman, who has guided the franchise (and a few of its feature films), will take over as showrunner on season two. As part of the change, Kurtzman will now also oversee the Discovery writers' room for season two.
Sources say the budget for the season two premiere ballooned, with the overages expected to come out of subsequent episodes from Discovery's sophomore run. Insiders also stress that Berg and Harberts became increasingly abusive to the Discovery writing staff, with the latter said to have leaned across the writers' room table while shouting an expletive at a member of the show's staff. Multiple writers are said to have been uncomfortable working on the series and had threatened to file a complaint with human resources or quit the series altogether before informing Kurtzman of the issues surrounding Berg and Harberts. After hearing rumors of HR complaints, Harberts is said to have threatened the staff to keep concerns with the production an internal matter.
Can you imagine Michael Piller or Jeri Taylor ever doing something like that? Or even Gene himself, who may have had myriad character flaws, but I've never heard of him having done anything like this.
Anyone who thinks that's how you manage any group of people, creative or otherwise, is a damn fool and deserves to be out of a job. Full stop.

So I have some new mirror covers on the way, and I was thinking to paint them the way my buddy has with his FiST (pictured). What color should I go with? I was thinking purple because that's the local color, but I don't want to copy my friend. Or should I go plain black since there's no other color on the car to match with?
I'm leaning towards OPPO orange.
Also, take a moment to appreciate his car:

Pierre La Plante
A lifelong student and teacher of music, Pierre La Plante was born September 25, 1943, in West Allis, Wis. He grew up in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. where he was active in the high school band, choir, and theater. La Plante received a Music Clinic tuition scholarship to attend the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he earned his Bachelor of Music (1967) and Master of Music (1972) degrees.
In the fall of 1967, La Plante began his teaching career in the Blanchardville, Wis. public school system (now Pecatonica Area Schools). There, he directed the high school band and chorus. In 1972, La Plante went to Prescott, Wis. to direct the high school concert band, marching band, and choir. He returned to Blanchardville in 1975 to teach general music for grades K—6 and beginning band. He retired from Blanchardville in 2001.
His many years of working with beginning band students has proven very helpful when writing music that is accessible to young players. An accomplished composer, LaPlante's catalog of musical works has been performed by high school bands in Australia, Europe, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. His first piece, Western Portrait, was published in 1976. His music is published by Daehn Publications as well as Kjos, Shawnee, Ludwig, Grand Mesa, and Bourne. In addition to band works, Bourne and G. Schirmer have published several settings of Wisconsin folksongs.
La Plante has adjudicated for solo and ensemble contests and played bassoon in regional orchestras, including the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra and the Beloit-Janesville Symphony. He is currently a member of MENC and ASCAP, and a former member of the Madison Wind ensemble. He resides in Oregon, Wis. with his wife, Laurie, where he enjoys gardening, cooking, reading, and spending time with his family. His daughters, Amy and Elizabeth, enjoy careers in graphic design and teaching, respectively. He also has three grandchildren, Emily, Parker, and Kate.

WVU medical director disagrees with new American Cancer Society guidelines on
The American Cancer Society has released new guidelines for breast cancer screening. This age group has the largest amount of years lost if diagnosed with breast cancer. Numerous symptoms are the same – a lump, bloody nipple discharge, skin changes, etc.
– Mammograms: Scans every other year starting at age 50, until age 74.
Earlier this month, Curves made arrangements for over 30 LASCO employees over the age of 35 to undergo mammogram screenings at Women's Place Radiation and Imaging Centre in Kingston. However, how much do you actually know about the cancer that affects one in 10 Latinas? Decisions with regards to drug therapy with chemotherapy and/or hormone blocking agents are similar between men and women. About 1 in 8 (12%) women in the USA will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.
A few of the donations have come from people affected by breast cancer.
With 100 percent of the proceeds raised from the run and collected donations will be donated to Boarding for Breast Cancer, a non-profit foundation that advocates early detection and a healthy, active lifestyle as the best means for breast cancer prevention.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it's heartening to see so many campaigns this year in India itself to promote the cause. Well, not exactly. Women age 40 to 44 should still "have the opportunity" to have regular breast cancer screenings, according to the American Cancer Society.
Those funds are going to provide a mammogram van at events like the Relay for Life, said Egger, which have provided a convenient way for women to check for breast cancer. This is due to the lower rates of mammography utilization, family history, late menopause, postmenopausal obesity, alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity.
There have been tremendous strides made in breast cancer research and in breast cancer treatment.
"It's important for every woman to give themselves and their breasts a little TLC… and it's so easy, you don't have to be an expert, I'm not". "We hope people will detect breast cancer at an early stage before it becomes serious because prevention is better than cure", Al Khayal added.

The Problem
Habitat loss is the largest single cause of biodiversity loss worldwide.1 One problem associated with it is habitat fragmentation ("the division of large, continuous habitats into smaller, more isolated remnants").2 Habitat fragmentation has a number of negative impacts upon biodiversity e.g. isolation of patches = less genetic diversity in populations. Therefore, it is an important issue to address.
The Project
I was given the opportunity to explore the issue of habitat fragmentation on a regional scale. I worked with Stephanie Pulsford, a PhD student at ANU's Fenner School, to monitor the movement of frogs and lizards on grazing properties in NSW. These properties contain remnants of protected Box-Gum Woodland and Steph's project aims to determine how to facilitate the movement of frogs/lizards between these. She hopes that this will help graziers to improve the populations of frogs/lizards on their farms. She chose these animals because they have, so far, been relatively neglected in the field.
The Experience
My first day of work experience was on a private property site near Bungendore. As this was the first day of the survey round we had to set up traps to capture, and subsequently monitor the movement of, frogs/lizards. We installed drift fences, opened previously installed pitfall traps and set up funnel traps.
Steph was looking at the impact that different features have on the movement of frogs/lizards. For example, she set up traps along the fence line to see what affect fences have.
We were lucky enough to find 3 animals which had unintentionally been caught – a Smooth Toadlet, a Spotted Marsh Frog and a Pale-flecked Garden Sunskink.
Once a frog/lizard is found it is marked, measured, weighed, photographed and then released. They are marked using visible plant elastomer. This colourful substance is injected into the animal and remains externally visible. Their movement is tracked by taking note of where they were found and what marking they possessed.
On my second day we went to 2 private property sites, the first near Murrumbateman and the second near Breadalbane. This time our task was to check traps!
The first site was slightly disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing lots of frogs/lizards but all we found was a frog and lots of bugs…
We had more success at site 2. Here we found approximately 20 frogs/lizards, including lots of Smooth Toadlets, Spotted Marsh Frogs and Verreaux's Tree Frogs.
Like on day 1, we collected data on the frogs/lizards that we found and marked the newbies. We caught some which had been previously found and some which had not.
At the end of the experience I was sad that I had to leave these cute little critters behind… but also relieved that I didn't bump into any snakes along the way.
The experience taught me a lot about research methods and the different species we found. However, in 2 days I wasn't able to gather much information on the findings. Overall, I enjoyed helping Steph and wish her luck with her PhD!

ESTES PARK — The director of the Intermountain Region of the National Park Service has signed a decision document to allow Rocky Mountain National Park to make improvements to the Fall River Entrance Station.
Proposed improvements include addition of a fast-pass lane for use by pass-holding visitors as well as employees and emergency vehicles, according to a press release.
In addition, the existing entrance and exit lanes will be reconfigured, and all existing buildings will be replaced with newly constructed ones with updated equipment and systems for ventilation and technology. The current configuration of existing buildings will be kept to minimize impacts on the Fall River Entrance Historic District.
The project also is intended to improve accessibility and add new parking spaces and pedestrian paths.
The park will develop an interpretive wayside exhibit on the developmental history of the Fall River Entrance Station area at Sheep Lakes overlook.
It will be several years before construction begins, according to the agency.
The Fall River Entrance is one of the two major entrance stations on the east side of the park and is located on U.S. 34, just inside the park boundary.

First wolf pack in decades spotted in California
MOUNT SHASTA -- California has its first wolf pack since the state's last known wolf was killed in 1924.
State and federal authorities announced Thursday that a trail camera captured photos earlier this month of two adults and five pups in southeastern Siskiyou County.
They were named the Shasta pack for nearby Mount Shasta.
The pack was discovered four years after the famous Oregon wondering wolf OR-7 first reached Northern California.
Karen Kovacs of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said it was an amazing accomplishment for wolves to establish in Northern California just 21 years after wolves were reintroduced in the Northern Rockies.
Those wolves eventually migrated into Oregon and Washington before reaching California and are protected by federal and state endangered species acts.

Dear Students:
It's Tuesday afternoon of the President's Day Break and we'll be resuming classes tomorrow (Wed. morning). I hope you enjoyed the break!
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit a student exhibit in the FORM Gallery, featuring the work of your classmate, Ian Byrd. The work was beautiful and I was particularly struck by a text that he had hung next to one of his paintings:
Embrace the things that make you different! Don't worry that you don't fit in with others. Instead, let your uniqueness be what others will find amazing about you!
Thank you, Ian! This is great wisdom and I urge everyone to embrace it both in how you see yourself and how you see others.

Change needed to improve productivity
Published: 20 March 2017 | Mining Africa Online
A change in attitudes — from boardroom to pit — will be the only way for mines to escape low productivity levels and find a path back to long-term sustainability. This is according to SRK Consulting corporate consultant, Roger Dixon.
"With productivity levels today 25–30% lower than they were a decade ago, it is not enough for mines to focus on isolated areas of operation for a magic bullet," says Dixon. "Neither would the gradual process of continuous improvement break us out of the current untenable situation.
"Most of the gold mines, for example, are still running on infrastructure that is more than 60 years old but was designed for a 40-year life-of-mine," says Dixon. "There also has not been enough forward ore-reserve development, due to capital constraints, and this links directly to productivity," he adds.
Dixon blames the poor performance on the use of '1950s technology', like compressed air driven rock-drills. Compressed air is one of the most inefficient power sources.
"Perhaps more importantly, however, is our dated management model that holds back real productivity gains," he says. "The industry has been through many drastic changes in recent decades — from trade union recognition to violent strikes — but we have not formally reviewed management competencies to perform optimally in this new and challenging environment."

Good ole dirt weed worth nothingReplyDeleteReplies

Turn it into MJ oil for use in edibles, sell to people at legal stores. Costs less, so higher profits, and makes it into a legal-for-sale product. Not even that hard to do anymore with CA having legalized the stuff for recreational use. Then you divert the local legally grown weed to the east for sale at prices close to a kilo of meth (which is also cheap as heck these days).Delete
Right- keep that bs on that side of the border- cant believe theres any market for it- what it cost 50$ a lb lolsDelete

What would be more interesting to learn is the THC content of these shipments more than the weight. Seem pretty silly if they basically seized a large shipment of industrial hemp across the border. I doubt Mexican weed that's shipped in bricks and bales has increased in potency over the years and what's been tested as around 5 percent THC. please comment on if anyone knows more about it .ReplyDelete

Weed is still selling if it's being moved by the tons. There are still fields out there far bigger than el bufalo that bring in billions of dollars.ReplyDelete

I guess you didn't know in Mexico there's "Reggie" which I bet you all smoked but there's also hydroponic, edibles ect. just like in the U.S. For half of what you pay in US. So really who's the sucker getting ripped off?ReplyDelete

Probably the most talked about district this year is New Jersey's 11th Congressional District, which is a historically Republican area that contains portions of Essex, Morris, Passaic, and Sussex counties. The seat is open as 12-term incumbent Rep. Rodney P. Frelinghuysen, chair of the House Committee on Appropriations, is retiring, which has brought out the largest field of candidates for both parties. The district is considered a toss-up this year.
Five Republicans are running: Patrick Allocco of Convent Station, Peter De Neufville of Mendham, Anthony Ghee of Totowa, Martin Hewitt of Morristown and Assemblyman Jay Webber of Parsippany.
The five Democrats on the ballot are Mitchell Cobert of Morristown, Tamara Harris of West Orange, Alison Heslin of Morristown, Mikie Sherrill of Montclair and Mark Washburne of Mendham.

I know from life coaching just how powerful questions can be. The right question from a coach is often key to a client discovering their own answer to a situation by creating the space for the client to see the situation from a different angle in some way. When I went through my coaching training, we studied the art of powerful questions and practiced them on each other in coaching practicums. The idea of how important questions can be is not new news to me.
And yet, someone asked me a question last week—simply out of curiosity, without any aims at changing my life in any way—and I've been floored by the fact that I cannot get this question and the implications of my answer out of my mind.
It was actually a rather innocent question. A newer friend had happened upon my LinkedIn profile while trying to find an email address to contact me about a change in plans. In so doing, he noticed that I had achieved doctoral candidacy in a graduate program many years ago but had chosen to leave the program with only a Master's Degree. Since he has his PhD and is now a professor, this intrigued him. He simply asked me whether I missed the intellectual stimulation of not having continued in the program.
No one has ever asked me that before. People have asked me whether I regretted leaving the program. People have asked me whether I miss that field (now that I no longer work in that field at all). But no one has ever asked me whether I missed the intellectual stimulation of it.
I didn't have to ponder over my answer. Yes, I do miss it. I miss it very much, in fact. But I've never even stopped to acknowledge that to myself.
In the days since then, I keep finding myself returning to that question. I keep noticing the way this unspoken desire for intellectual stimulation has shaped my choices in reading, in career choices, in friendships, and in activities I engage in. In particular, I have noticed how many ways I have tried to fill this need without approaching it directly.
For instance, I am constantly pursuing additional training in the form of degrees, certifications, and qualifications because the training itself does often provide the intellectual stimulation I am looking for, but I'm realizing that there are many cheaper ways to get that same level of intellectual stimulation without having engage in all of the busy work that these programs required. In essence, I confused my goal of intellectual stimulation with a goal of earning another piece of paper saying I had completed some training program.
If I move my focus from earning credentials back to intellectual activity, I realize how many ways I can achieve that in cheaper, more flexible ways. My reading choices will be more focused on things that stretch my mind. I can make participation in book discussion groups (like the one I attended tonight) a higher priority. I can engage my intellectually minded friends in more intentional conversations around their areas of interest. I can take (or audit) classes here or there that interest me.
In short, the very recognition that I thrive on intellectual stimulation on topics that interest me is necessary before I can creatively problem solve ways to add more of that to my life. And all it took was one curious question from someone who recognized the importance of the intellectual life to nudge me in the right direction.
What curious questions have you been asked that changed your life?
