How infrastructure effects property values
Written on the 26 February 2016 by James CagneyYou have to follow the infrastructure to be able to predict where the growth in house prices is going to be over the next few years. As Tom Cruise said in in the movie Jerry Maguire "Show me the money".
Once you know where the money is and estimate where the properties are in the "Property Cycle and Cycle of Market emotions" model you will be in a better position to determine where to invest your hard earned money.There are four key drivers for property growth:
(1) Employment(2) Affordability
(3) Population Growth(4) Rental Yields
New jobs create confidence in a region. What is evident is that State Governments are selling assets to finance infrastructure. Nationally we have around 100 approved projects each over $500 million. Of the 100 projects Queensland has more than any other state i.e. 41 major infrastructure projects. What good news for Queensland. Over half of these projects are going to be in the South East Queensland triangle i.e. Sunshine coast in the North, Toowoomba in the West and the Gold Coast in the South. Brisbane will be a major beneficiary of the huge infrastructure spend and the future growth of South East Queensland (SEQ). The SEQ Triangle has approximately 60% of Queensland's population right now and about 75% of the money on infrastructure will be spent in the region.This will not please the voters in the regional areas in Queensland. One of my clients maintains you should invest in suburbs / areas that have predicted marginal seats for the next election. The main political parties and politicians will be "giving away the farm" and promising employment, infrastructure and prosperity for the area during their election campaigns. If they don't deliver on their promises they are unlikely to win the next election. So I expect the Labour party in Queensland to direct more of the money planned on infrastructure for SEQ to these marginal seats in Queensland. It is called self preservation and politicians are seasoned at this.
Whatever they decide to spend the money in Queensland inter-state migration will follow. This will bring welcome relief to investors who have experienced lower rental yields over the past two years.
I will reveal more information and give you my predictions for 2016 in the next "Property Update". I will give you a summary and comment further on what the property experts predict for 2016. I will cover Sydney, Melbourne, Tasmania, South Australia, Canberra, Perth and Darwin over the next few updates. This is not an easy task because the opinions of the property guru's are poles apart. The next "Property Update" on Sydney and Melbourne will be emailed to you by end February 2016. You are going to be surprised by some of the areas predicted to take a big tumble and those that will boom in 2016 so ................ "watch this space".

Pamela Anderson is one of the world's most famous vegans, and in a new essay for The Guardian the renowned animal-rights activist explains how and why she came to her beliefs.
As the B.C. native reveals, all it took for her to give up eating meat was the childhood image of a headless deer hanging outside her home, dripping blood after one of her father's hunting expeditions.
"I cried for days," writes the former "Baywatch" star. "It wasn't hard for me to give up something so cruel. I got my father to stop hunting, too."

The self-described "naughty vegan" also takes credit for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star Kim Kardashian and First Lady Melania Trump deciding to stop wearing fur.
"Today I wouldn't wear fur, and I don't want to glamorize it by wearing faux, but it's still better than wearing someone's else's skin," she writes. "I sent faux fur coats to Melania Trump and Kim Kardashian, and both have sworn off fur since."
Meanwhile, Anderson realizes that not everyone is willing to become a vegan or vegetarian, but explains that there are small things that can be done without going all-in.

"Stella McCartney and Paul and Linda created Meatless Mondays, so even if you don't eat meat on Mondays, you are still doing something good," she adds. "If you're Canadian, like me, and grew up in the coastal areas, sometimes you think if you're vegetarian, you can still eat fish."

text: Dokpesi: looters list damaged my name Posted by: Femi Ige November 6, 2019 Leave a comment AdvertisementsClick ad to view in large format. AdvertisementsThe Chairman of Daar Communications Plc, Chief Raymond Dopkesi, on Tuesday recounted his sad experience following the release of alleged looters' list which contained his name.Advertisements The businessman told the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Apo, Abuja, that everybody treated him like a plague after his name appeared on the list released by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture. Dokpesi was being cross-examined by the defendants' counsel in a suit he filed before Justice Olukayode Adeniyi of the FCT High Court. He is seeking N5 billion damages from Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed as well as the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN). Dokpesi sued the ministers, claiming that they defamed his character by including his name on the treasury looters' list. The businessman told the court that the Information Minister, on March 30, 2018, at a media briefing, portrayed him as "a corrupt and crooked person, a dishonest man and a thief". He insisted that his reputation had been seriously injured, adding that he had suffered considerable distress, ridicule, as well as political analysis in the media. According to him, he has been castigated on the basis of the inclusion of his name as number four on the looters' list.' Dokpesi demanded N5 billion in damages for libel and urged the court to order the defendants to publish a full retraction and apology to him in all major electronic and print media outlets in country. The businessman, who answered questions from counsel to the defendants, Damian Agbe, stated that he was unjustly called a looter of treasury. "The minister (Lai Mohammed) said I was a looter. The minister, clearly in his statement, said he was releasing the list of looters. "The word 'alleged' was never used in his statement. I am in the media; I am a media proprietor," Dokpesi told the court. Though he agreed with Agbe that he was facing trial for allegedly collecting N2.1 billion from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Dokpesi declared that he had not been found guilty by any court. "What is in the public domain is the fact that N2.1 billion was paid to an institution called Daar Investment and Holding Company Limited, operators of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power National Network FM. But not that I, Raymond Dokpesi, looted the treasury," he said." According to him, as a result of his being listed among treasury looters, he no longer enjoyed the goodwill of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Dokpesi informed the court that the party recently released the lists of members of campaign councils for the forthcoming governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states without his name among those listed. "The list of members of campaign councils for Bayelsa and Kogi states, where I was rejected, was released. "Everybody is treating me like a plague. I was rejected. There are members of national campaign council of leaders nationwide and Raymond Dokpesi is conspicuously absent," he said. The businessman told the court that though he held no position in the opposition party, he was a leader and stakeholder in the PDP. Dokpesi added that all his witnesses, who were to testify for him in the suit, are political associates who he knew for a long time. The media proprietor said he had suffered a lot of setbacks and discrimination from the society due to his inclusion in the looters' list. Justice Adeniyi adjourned the matter till January 16, 2020, for defence. 2019-11-06 Femi Ige

You know those moments where you think "if you told me five years ago I'd be doing this, I wouldn't believe you?" That's what my first New York Fashion Week felt like. The flashes of photographers' lights, the long-legged models parading down the runway, the glamorous parties —it was magical. But what no one tells you about New York Fashion Week, is that there this unspoken air of self-doubt where everyone judges themselves more than each other. Can anyone tell this isn't a designer bag? Should I have worn something else? As you scan the room, all you see are beautiful talented women.
My first night of New York Fashion Week, I landed myself a ticket to the Lulu's Style Studio, a party I'd been dying to get into. In the crowd full of Instagram sensations, influential bloggers and fashion icons, I felt out of place. I was just a writer. What right did I have to be there? I booked it to the bar, hoping a glass of champagne would calm my nerves. As if someone was playing a tape of my internal dialogue, I overheard two women behind me whispering about how everyone here was so much prettier and better dressed than they were. Suddenly it hit me that everyone in the room was likely feeling the same way as myself. Why was I wasting my time doubting myself when I had worked for years to get to this moment? I'd dreamt of New York Fashion Week for years, and I had finally made it. There was no reason for me to second guess my efforts.
When it comes down to it, we're all just human. Even at New York Fashion Week, we all have the same hopes and fears. When the lights go down and the runway shows begin, we're all the same— hard-working women who love fashion. Remember that it isn't luck that brings success, it's hard work. While there may always be someone you feel is prettier, thinner, or more successful than you, what brings true confidence is a sense of determination. Passion and grit outweigh pretty faces and designer handbags, even in the fashion industry. Each one of the women I met at New York Fashion Week got there by holding their heads high in the face of self-doubt and showing confidence at the scariest of times. Through believing in your abilities it's possible to achieve even the wildest of your dreams.
Never underestimate yourself, because it's true what they say—there's nothing more powerful than a confident woman.

News Editor
Is there a place-name that conjures up more pleasant visions of contentment than the name of Provence? Seth Sherwood in The New York Times offers a nice glimpse of the attractions to be found in the city of Aix-en-Provence, including the weekend hot spots. (The bi-continental author is based in both New York and Paris, the better to fulfil his travel-writer imperatives.) But there are nightclubs all over the south of France. What sounds uniquely interesting here is an art museum, the Fondation Vasarely, of which Sherwood says:
Opened in the '70s by Victor Vasarely, the Hungarian-born mastermind of the Op Art movement, this retro-futuristic museum is packed with soaring, kaleidoscopic and mind-bending geometric art that will blow out your retinas and sizzle your brain – think M. C. Escher abstractions on a cathedral scale.
There's a lot of history in these parts, and the old city is proud of being the former home of world-class writer Emile Zola and genius painter Paul Cezanne. A famous café called Les Deux Garcons is the spot where such luminaries as Sartre, Cocteau and Picasso engaged in the ancient tradition of people-watching. Songstress Edith Piaf used to hang out there too. And while we're tuned in on the art wavelength, there's a place called Musee Granet where an enormous exhibit featuring many works by both Cezanne and Picasso will be shown through September 27.
Way back in Biblical times, the Romans came to town and started the gentrification process, exploiting the thermal springs for their bathing pleasure. There's a big modern spa that encompasses part of the archaic bath-house, which is on view as kind of an archaeological exhibit.
Sherwood gives hotel advice, and an overview of the shopping opportunities: furniture, beauty products, kitchen implements. Then he moves on to the gastronomical wonders. We are, of course, in gourmet olive oil territory, as explored by Agnès Lascève. Provence may be the herb-growing capital of the world, global headquarters for herbs of both the cooking and potpourri varieties. You can book a special package tour that includes luxury hotel accommodations and cooking lessons from a master chef. Eclectic sausages are a local specialty, I mean made out of things you never heard of going into sausages before. There's a great farmers' market, and a weird yet Michelin-approved restaurant where food is manipulated to look like other kinds of food.
And there is of course the wine. Don't forget the wine, as if anyone could. Examiner expert Taylor Olson gives us the lowdown on which wine-producing regions of France are best at doing what, and reminds us that Provence is no longer just about table wine and rose'. In France Today, Frank Prial really goes into the subject with a scholar's ardor. He recaps the sometimes disreputable history of the house wine of Provence, and assures us that, "Slowly, these well-made Provence rosés are rising above the tawdry reputation of the cheap, high-alcohol blends of yore."
It will surprise no one to learn that Kevin has written about this region in a delightful essay titled "Of Romans and Pussycats: Provence, France" which is of course found in his book.
He says,
The cities are wonderful, the villages are wonderful… The edge of Provence is the shore, which English-speakers call the French Riviera and the French call the Côte d'Azur, or "Azure Coast," because the water is blue. Really blue.
So, there you have it. How does a trip to the south of France sound right about now?

U.S. Virgin Islands Closes its Bordersby Jessica Montevago /
Starting on Wednesday, March 25, the U.S. Virgin Islands will close its doors to all visitors for 30 days in order to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
The territory – comprised of St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix – joins other destinations in global efforts to help stop the spread of COVID-19. There are now 17 positive cases on USVI and more expected from pending tests.
Governor Albert Bryan Jr. said although the decision to close the territory's ports falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government, the move to prohibit visitor arrivals will help minimize the potential impact of the coronavirus.
Residents have been instructed to stay home, and all non-essential businesses ordered to close. In-house dining is not allowed at restaurants, only take-out services, and all bars are to be closed as well.
Commissioner of Tourism Joseph Boschulte said visitors who have made travel plans between March 25 and April 25, 2020 are advised to contact their respective travel partners regarding relevant cancellation policies. "We are working closely with the USVI Hotel and Tourism Association to encourage travelers to postpone - not cancel - their visit," he said.
Commissioner Boschulte added that while mitigation strategies were of paramount importance at this time, discussions were ongoing with air and cruise partners.
USVI follows other Caribbean nations restricting travel to mitigate the spread of the virus. Jamaica closed its borders to incoming travelers effective Saturday, March 21, 2020 at 11:59 pm for a 14 day period, and the Dominican Republic closed its borders March 19 for 15 days.

The Monks of Burma: Soft Buddhas
If a Buddha figure is made of gold, he stands as a metaphor for the beautiful virtues that reside within each of us. To look upon a gold Buddha is to reflect on our own golden nature. To see a gigantic Buddha is to see the magnificence of an enlightened soul. To see the figure as a source of power unto itself is to miss the point. The role of sacred arts is to turn our sight onto our souls, not the object itself.
Larger-than-life stone or concrete Buddhas similarly suggest that breadth and magnificence of the enlightened soul. Such figures inspire us to reach for greatness. In Buddhist terms, this means following the eightfold path--adherence to truth and moral values comprising, including right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
This conversation on the nature of monuments led a friend and teacher to create a soft Buddha. His Buddha suggests the warmth and comfort of compassion. The figure is small and approachable. His halo is damaged and taped together because the road to enlightenment brings with it pitfalls that can be painful or harmful.
Taken together, these Buddha's describe the human experience. Though nobody is perfect, everyone has a place.
I thought of the soft Buddha when I read about the Buddhist monks killed in Burma in a larger crisis concerning the Burmese junta's abusive regime and its literally taxing individuals out of a meal. Here were these soft Buddhas--monks of golden character and concrete courage laying their lives on the line that the suffering might end for the people of Burma.
Here's Sue's blog with many useful Burma links.
Here's the BBC's Burma coverage.

If you think your child might have ASD or you think there could be a problem with the way your child plays, learns, speaks, or acts, contact your child's doctor and share your concerns.
If you or the doctor is still concerned, ask the doctor for a referral to a specialist who can do a more in-depth evaluation of your child.
Remember that children with special needs are no longer isolated in "Special Ed" classrooms. Today's educational programs use the latest in student-to-student interactions that help children with special needs grow and develop to their full potential. Studies have shown that children with autism spectrum perform better, both academically and socially, if the child is included and connected as much as possible.
Recommended Read: Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Overview
New computer based programs designed to help hold the interest of students with autism are being promoted every year. Some of these recent programs and web sites feature images and exercises to assist educators in making lesson plans for students who have special needs. Some of these programs include apps for laptops, tablets, or smartphones that can be shared with other students, parents and other family members so that lessons can be reinforced beyond the classroom.
Teachers of students with autism often keep the desks in the classroom arranged to give students with autism their own space and to prevent the student from being easily distracted. At home, kids with autism spectrum disorder often benefit from having a place that is their own space also. This space is where the child can go to reduce stress and anxiety when needed.
Autistic children in the classroom or at home often benefit from structure and rules that are clearly explained and reviewed regularly. Rules at home work best when parents keep them simple. All children, and especially special needs children, need reminders and prompts frequently to help them understand what is expected. Visual aids at home on the refrigerator, and visual aids in the classroom such as charts, graphs, and pictures help clarify points and increase understanding.
Recommended Read: Management of Autism
Family members and relatives can be included in the autism interventions. Friends, neighbors, coworkers, and other students can be educated and made aware of ways to be helpful in the treatment plans for children living with autism spectrum disorder. These support persons should be educated to be aware of environmental triggers such as sudden loud noises or bright lights that can be very upsetting to the child.
There are a number of organizations now with a mission to help address the needs for persons living with autism. These services include support, education, healthcare provider referrals, legal resources, and more. Your healthcare provider should be able to supply you with contact information for these services.

Over eight in ten (85%) estate agents reported an increase in the number of buy-to-let investors active in the market last month.
In the rush by investors to beat the Stamp Duty surcharge, buyer demand was at a 12-year high in February, says the NAEA.
First-time buyers were elbowed aside, with sales to first-timers falling 5%.
There were an average 463 house hunters registered per member branch – the highest since August 2004.
The number of properties available per branch increased marginally from 33 in January to 35 in February, as the number of sales agreed per branch in February increased too.
On average, each branch sold nine properties, with 24% going to first-time buyers.

Understanding Investments in Mortgage Notes:
Mortgage Backed Security (MBS)
What is it?
|A Mortgage Backed Security is a bond issued by a securitization company, based on real estate credits (payments to be received relating to real estate sold under financing). Securitization agents "structure" these credits and transform them into bonds, which are then sold to investors who, in exchange, receive interest.
What is the remuneration?
|The investments are remunerated in various ways, with fixed or variable return, while payments can be monthly, annual or at maturity. One example is remuneration based on the TR (Taxa Referencial – "Reference Rate") plus an annual percentage.
What is the maturity?
|These securities have an average life of five years, but can run up to seven years.
|The securities are exempt of Income Tax, a fact that gives them a higher return than many fixed income funds.
|These lie in default on the real estate loans that serve as collateral for the MBS. In many operations there is also no guarantee of anticipated repurchase of the securities by the issuers.

Internationally acclaimed hip-hop superstar, Snoop Dogg continues to enjoy his Jamaican adventure and now aims to make a documentary about this experience.
Earlier this month, the California native announced, via his YouTube page, that he would travel to Jamaica to record a single for his upcoming studio album, Reincarnated. While celebrating what would have been Reggae icon's Bob Marley's 67th birthday on February 6, Snoop Dogg intimated that the title for said single will be, Reincarnated: Peace, Love and Soul.
Reportedly, Snoop Dogg was doing work at Geejam Studios in Portland; joining Senegalese rappers, Akon as well as Grammy-winning R&B singer, Alicia Keys as international acts recording at the prominent studio complex since the start of 2012.
On February 15, Snoop, his wife, Shante Taylor-Broadus and accompanying entourage visited the Nyabinghi Centre in Montego Bay; seeking authentic material for his new documentary, Snoop In Jamaica which explores the depths of Rastafarian culture.
According to prominent local booking agent, Olimatta Taal during a radio interview on Tuesday, Snoop talked of being strongly influenced by Bob Marley while insisting that he wanted to do the documentary because he wanted to personally understand the concept of Rastafarianism after seeing television shows talking about its origin.
Snoop visited with hundreds of Rastafarians at the centre; meeting with some prominent Rastafarian elders, enjoyed several meals and participated in a ritual as he sought to gauge a full understanding of their standard of living. He was even dubbed with the name, Bahani, which means, "Light."
Meanwhile, Snoop's tour across Jamaica took him to Alpha Boys School where he unveiled several gifts for students. Furthermore, he reportedly visited with Maroons in the Portland-based settlement of Moore Town, which also hails as the home of the monument for Jamaica's national heroine, Nanny.
On Monday night, he was taken to areas such as Denham Town and Tivoli Gardens by Grammy-winning Reggae singjay, Stephen Marley and also talked with Bob Marley's widow, Rita Marley about his desire to spread knowledge of Rastafarianism and Jamaica's culture worldwide.

This commentary has been edited and condensed. It was originally published in the Thomas B. Fordham Institute's Education Gadfly Weekly. The full version can be found here.
A major development in recent years has been the explosive growth of online learning in K–12 education.
Sometimes it takes the form of "blended learning," with students receiving a mix of online and face-to-face instruction. Students may also learn via web-based resources like the Khan Academy, or by enrolling in distance-learning "independent study" courses. In addition, an increasing number of pupils are taking the plunge into fully online schools: In 2015, an estimated 275,000 students enrolled in full-time virtual charter schools across twenty-five states.
The internet has obviously opened a new frontier of instructional possibilities. Much less certain is whether such opportunities are actually improving achievement, especially for the types of students who enroll in virtual schools. In "Enrollment and Achievement in Ohio's Virtual Charter Schools," we at Fordham examined this issue using data from our home state of Ohio, where online charter schools ("e-schools") are a rapidly growing segment of K–12 education.
Today they enroll more than 35,000 students, one of the country's largest populations of full-time online students. Ohio e-school enrollment has grown 60 percent over the last four years, a rate greater than any other type of public school. But even since they launched, e-schools have received negative press for their poor academic performance, high attrition rates and questionable capacity to educate the types of students who choose them. It's clearly a sector that needs attention.
An analysis authored by June Ahn, an associate professor at New York University, finds that e-school students performed worse than students who attend brick-and-mortar district schools, according to school data from 2009 to 2013. Put another way, on average, Ohio's e-school students start the school year academically behind and lose even more ground (relative to their peers) during the year. That finding corroborates the disappointing results from Stanford University's Center for Research on Education Outcomes analysis of virtual charter schools nationwide.
The consistent, negative findings for e-school students are troubling, to say the least. One obvious remedy is to pull the plug — literally and figuratively — but we think that would be a mistake. Surely it's possible, especially as technology and online pedagogy improve, to create virtual schools that serve students well. The challenge now is to boost outcomes for online learners, not to eliminate the online option. We therefore offer three recommendations for policy makers and advocates in states that, like Ohio, are wrestling to turn the rapid development of online schools into a net plus for their pupils.
First, policymakers should adopt performance-based funding for e-schools. When students complete courses successfully and demonstrate that they have mastered the expected competencies, e-schools would get paid. This creates incentives for e-schools to focus on what matters most — academic progress — while tempering their appetite for enrollment growth and the dollars tied to it.
Second, policy makers should seek ways to improve the fit between students and e-schools. Based on the demographics we report, it seems that students selecting Ohio's e-schools may be those least likely to succeed in a school format that requires independent learning, self-motivation and self-regulation. Lawmakers could explore rules that exempt e-schools from policies requiring all charters, virtual ones included, to accept every student who applies and instead allow e-schools to operate more like magnet schools with admissions procedures and priorities.
Third, policy makers should support online course choice (also called "course access"), so that students interested in web-based learning can avail themselves of online options without enrolling full-time. Ohio currently confronts students with a daunting decision: either transfer to a full-time e-school or stay in their traditional school and potentially be denied the chance to take tuition-free, credit-bearing virtual courses aligned to state standards. Instead of forcing an all-or-nothing choice, policy makers should ensure that a menu of course options is available to students, including courses delivered online.
Many of us remember the earliest personal computers — splendid products for playing Oregon Trail, but now artifacts of the past. Fortunately, innovators and engineers kept pushing the envelope for faster, nimbler, smarter devices. But proximity to technology, no matter how advanced, isn't enough. E-schools and their kin should facilitate understanding of how best to utilize online curricula and non-traditional learning environments, especially for underserved learners.

Unnayan Banka, an online and offline education project started in Banka, one of the least developed districts of Bihar, has won the Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management's international innovation award for 2018. The project trumped the other finalists from Singapore and Mauritius to win the award in the Innovation Incubation category.
The award was received by Banka District Magistrate Kundan Kumar on Wednesday at a function in Georgetown, Guyana.
Unnayan Banka started was initially started in five schools in the district and has now been implemented in all its 143 schools. It involves teaching Class IX and Class X students through interactive concept videos, providing realtime doubt-clearing, examination and digital report cards. This was done through an application called Eckovation, which has been co-founded by IITian Ritesh Singh.
The Banka experiment is being replicated in Puducherry, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. It is soon going to implemented in Classes IX-XII in about 5,000 schools across the country under the Central government's flagship scheme Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA).
DM Kundan Kumar told The Indian Express, "Defeating Singapore in technology was tough. It is a special feeling when a programme that started in a small place with limited resources gets international recognition."
Eckovation co-founder Singh said their efforts were lauded for "innovation that represents early thinking and promotes unproven innovative ideas".
"It was a great feeling to see Banka DM give a presentation before top officials of other countries".
Rakhi Kumari, a teacher at a Banka school, said, "This recognition has given us more reasons to work harder."

Fresh Beet Salad with Cranberries and Grapefruit Vinaigrette, and Avocado or Fresh Pear
It is cranberry harvest time here on the peninsula. During my daily commute, I drive past the bogs coming up on the harvest. The harvest process is interesting. The bog is flooded until the berries lift off the plant. Then the floating fruit is captured in a wooden harness, brought to the edge of the flooded bog and scooped up into waiting containers.

A New Heart: Truth-in-Feelings
A New Heart: Truth-in-Feelings Sermon at Harbor Church, 2/24/19
How are you? How do you feel today? I feel BAD. I feel GOOD. Why? Why do we feel the way we feel? We've been taught that feelings whether positive or negative emotions, aren't bad in themselves, they just are. We know that What we do with them can produce virtue or sin. But what causes our hearts to behave the ways that they do? What makes our emotional tickers tock?
A New Heart: Truth-in-Feelings
Truth in Advertising and Marketing and Other FTC Regulations. When consumers see or hear an advertisement on the Internet, radio, in print, on a billboard, on television, or anywhere else, federal law says that the ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence. There are also laws concerning Truth-in-Lending when it comes to financial institutions, and Truth-in-Sentencing with regard to our judicial system. I'd like to propose another standard for telling the truth with regard to our emotions, and call it Truth-in-Feelings. I think this practice is so important, that if I were a legislator, I would borrow language from the FTC Regulations on advertising, and write a law that says with regard to our emotions, that they must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scriptural evidence.
This idea doesn't come from the Bible, but from a branch of Psychology called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The premise for this widely-accepted counseling practice is that much of what we feel is a prodct of what we think. That our emotions flow from our cognitions, and that if our perceptions are distorted, then our feelings will be as well. That in plain English, if we believe the lies that we and others tell about us, we will feel bad about ourselves and the world around us. Conversely, if we strive to fill our minds with accurate thinking, our hearts, the seat of our emotions, will be healthier and happier as a result.
In a recent article I read in INC. Magazine, by Amy Morin, she suggested that 'changing your inner dialogue will change your life'. She goes on to say:
"You have somewhere around 70,000 thoughts each day and those thoughts influence every emotion you have and every choice you make. While you can't control the automatic thoughts that first pop into your brain, you can control how you respond to them.
Believing your self-doubt, worrying incessantly about things you can't control, and ruminating on the negative will drain you of the mental strength you need to be your best. Reframing your unhelpful thoughts, refusing to dwell on the negative, and purposefully training your brain to think differently, can help you build mental muscle.
Replace BLUE thoughts with true thoughts.
Everyone experiences cognitive distortions sometimes (irrational and inaccurate thoughts). And while there are many types of distortions, the acronym BLUE sums up the most common thinking errors:
Blaming myself,
Looking for the bad news, (CATASTROPHIZING)-Remember the children's story about Henny Penny who said "The Sky is Falling" she thought the world was ending when a leaf fell on her head!
Unhappy guessing, (FORTUNE TELLING/PROJECTING) and
Exaggeratedly negative thoughts. (MAXIMIZING THE NEGATIVE/MINIMIZING THE GOOD)
When you catch yourself experiencing BLUE thoughts, respond with a more realistic statement (or true thought). When you think, "I'm going to fail," you might respond by thinking, "All I can do is my best," or when you think, "I always mess everything up," remind yourself of the times when you've succeeded.
Right about now you may be thinking, what does all this psycho-babble have to do with Spirituality, my faith, my relationship with God, myself and others? The short answer to that question is A LOT!
Rational Christian Thinking is a practice that distinctly Christian Counselors have adopted that has its roots in CBT, but go one step further. It replaces the lie that we tell ourselves with the truth of scripture. For example:
The Lie: "I am a bad person who always does bad things" The result can be feelings of guilt, shame, remorse, depression, or anxiety.
The Truth: "I am Wonderful Child of God, made in God's image" (A good person who sometimes does bad things) The result can be feelings of contentment and joy, peace and happiness.
This type of disciplined thinking is only one of the ways in which God can give us a new heart, a healthier emotional life. There is another important path to this: the life and example of Jesus.
The Emotions of Jesus
As the Son of God incarnate, we've been told that Jesus is both fully-human, and fully-divine.
The human side of this understanding includes the idea that during his earthly life, Jesus experienced the full range of human emotions. But they were perfectly experiences and expressed by him, because he was perfectly conditioned by divine truth. Consider some of the feelings of Jesus that we read about in the gospels, and then lets think about what caused them.
JOY/GLADNESS> Jesus told His followers if they keep His commandments, they will abide in His love just as He has kept His Father's commandments and abides in His Father's love. "These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full," Jesus said. What joy was Jesus referring to? The joy that came from complete obedience to His Father. The joy that came from pursuing God's will. The joy that came from pleasing His Father in Heaven.
DEPRESSION/ANXIETY. Think about Christ's passion in the garden just before his arrest and crucifixion he was in such agony, that He sweat blood and tears as He prayed: "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me…" In His humanity, He dreaded what was to come. But in His faith and pure obedience to His Father, His agony made for surrender: "Yet not my will, but yours be done"
Two very different emotional states, both perfectly experienced and expressed through his trust and confidence in God the Fathers' will and purposes.
ANGER & INDIGNANCE. Jesus was irate with the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, who lacked integrity. He was incensed by the unscrupulous practices of the money-changers in the temple courts. He was absolutely disgusted with those who oppressed and cheated others. Who gave preferential treatment to some while exploiting the weakness of others. Honest emotions that Jesus experienced based upon his knowledge of God's righteousness and the truth in Scriptures that he perfectly understood without distortion about how to treat others. In all these things, he experienced intense feelings, yet did not sin because these true expressions of emotion were based on his understanding of what was good and true. He never lied to himself, and he rejected the falsehoods and false practices of others.
When we become angry, is it because we believe the lies that our egos tell us, or is it because we see ourselves or others offending the truth revealed to us in Scriptures.
LOVE/COMPASSION. Jesus' motivation for healing the sick was a genuine sorrow for the physical suffering that he saw in others. But in one of our readings today, he also wept for the spiritual pain he experienced when he looked upon Jerusalem. He anticipated his betrayal by the people there, and instead of judging them, he experienced sorrow for their lostness. That they were hurting so much inside that they were ready to lash out and hurt others, to hurt him. When you see someone who is living in sin, or with the consequences of their sin does it make you cringe or cry? Is your heart moved to pray for that person's relief, healing, comfort, and salvation? Is your compassion strong enough to cause your hand to extend in action, help, or hope for another? That's was Jesus' response.
EMPATHY. Perhaps the truest expression of feeling we can have is to identify with the emotional state of others. We have no record of Jesus feeling sorry for Himself or dwelling on or becoming preoccupied with any of His personal suffering. There are plenty of examples of his ability to relate to others, to feel what they were feeling, and then translate that into action for the benefit of the people around him.
Pursuing the Heart of Jesus is the truest path to discovering a new heart for ourselves. Examining our motivations in the light of Jesus' example is the surest way to producing wholeness in our emotions.
Believing the lies that we hear from others can damage us, and clinging to the distorted versions of the truth that we tell ourselves can result in damaged, debilitating emotional states. Replacing these with the truth of God is the best way to experience the purest, most genuine feelings possible. This doesn't mean that all our feelings will be positive or pleasant. But it does ensure that will largely honor God, and will ultimately yield good things for us and for others around us. And practicing Truth-in-feelings can become a new way of living and the way to a new heart, the heart of Christ.

"The best general managers are really the people who know how to listen to the people that work with them." the general manager for WPR in western Wisconsin, Dean Kallenbach, said when he was asked what it takes to be a general manager in Radio.
Kallenbach has been the general manger for WPR's western region since 1990 and in the meantime, had also become the senior regional manger in 2005.
Wisconsin Public Radio, or WPR, has been a pioneer in public broadcasting ever since its formation in 1971. It was founded on the basis of creating an accessible place for people to learn. In fact, some of the first broadcasts on WPR was pre-recorded lectures directly from the University of Wisconsin: Madison's classrooms. Today, WPR's goal is to "inform, entertain, engage and inspire individuals and communities", according to their mission statement.
Kallenbach didn't start out his career wanting to be a general manager, however. He
initially wanted to be a news director. That want was realized in 1981 when he became the news director at a TV station. He worked at that station until 1986, when he became WPR only regional news reporter in western Wisconsin. That job was only his until the promotion to general manger in 1990.
"The schedule can be busy sometimes," Kallenbach said, "it comes in waves." At first glance, Kallenbach's day seems to be as though it consists mostly of answering emails. In reality this is only a small part of what he does on a daily basis. The most important and basic job he must do is the management of regional radio staff on top of the management of all of the regional managers in the state of Wisconsin.
Being the highest ranked person at his location, Kallenbach also has the duty of directly implementing local programming. This means that, at the end of the day, it is his call to what goes on the air. At some points, Kallenbach records promos and even goes on-air to help with shows, depending on the situation.
These are only a few duties that Dean must meet every time he comes into work, there are many more. Unfortunately, in the short amount of time that I spent shadowing him, I was only able to experience what was described.
In order for any organization to run smoothly, employees must be managed properly. Dean Kallenbach fills that position not only for employees of WUEC, but for all regional station managers in the state. In order to be effective, a manager must be diplomatic and respected by his staff, Kallenbach has an approachable aura about him that makes this possible.

If you were at the State of the City performance (#SacramentoSOTC) on February 13, you would have felt a palpable excitement about Sacramento's future.
I say "performance" – not "speech" or "presentation" or "address" – because performance is what it was. Mayor Kevin Johnson, who's been performing for audiences for decades, is a skilled entertainer, and he was on his game that night. Indeed, as I tweeted later that evening, his PR machine was on overdrive, and it was all about the new arena.
Approximately 70% of Johnson's presentation was about the proposed arena. In fact, based on the SOTC presentation, you'd be hard pressed to name any other issues that affect Sacramento today – or that can't be solved by the arena. Homeless and hungry? The new arena will provide food and money. Illiterate? Kings players will teach kids to read. Out of work? 4,000 permanent new jobs are coming to Sacramento, thanks to the arena.
This is the year of groundbreakings, Johnson said, "and we will not be 'stopped,'" an intentional and obvious reference to Sacramento Taxpayers Opposed to Pork, or STOP*, the political action committee that wants to put an initiative on the June 2014 ballot allowing people to vote on the arena.
And he's probably right. The mayor and city council may indeed be unstoppable on the arena issue.
I mean, where's the opposition? Where is their PR machine? Are they hiding? Are they strategizing? What in the world are they waiting for? Tempus fugit.
Assuming that the initiative qualifies – and there's no guarantee it will, due to a legal battle over the validity of STOP's petitions – the petition authors and supporters have only a few short months to mount a campaign. The June election will be here in no time.
With help from Voters for a Fair Arena Deal (VFAD), STOP certainly did achieve a significant win in the battle by gathering more than the 22,000 signatures required to qualify their initiative. But that was a small win and not a victory, a point quickly brought home by the City Clerk's rejection of the petitions on technical grounds.
STOP then filed a lawsuit, seeking to overturn the City Clerk's decision. And if STOP wins that suit, it will have achieved another win. But again, not the ultimate victory.
On the other side, Mayor Johnson and his team are well aware that the war is in full swing. That's why they essentially devoted the entire State of the City presentation to drive home their message that the arena will be a powerful economic "stimulus" for the city – and that it will be built. This the mayor's #1 issue, and he will commit the full force of his available resources to ensuring the project is completed.
But what Johnson and his team also know – perhaps better than anyone – is that they really shouldn't win this campaign. In fact, it should be a slam dunk for STOP.
As my debate opponent, R.E. Graswich, points out in his blog today, citizens are not inclined to vote for a subsidy: "Only about 35 percent of Sacramento voters turn out for June primary elections these days. People just don't care. Yet I'll bet 100 percent of our debate audience at Belle Cooledge Library votes. And 90 percent will oppose the subsidy."
And history is on STOP's side. In 2006, citizens voted overwhelmingly against a tax increase (Measures Q and R) that would have been used to subsidize a new arena. Nearly 80 percent of voters rejected that plan; and all things being equal, they'd probably vote the same way today.
However, all things aren't equal. In 2006 there was significant opposition to the tax increase, including by the Sacramento Bee. There was leadership on the issue then, and that leadership was committed to defeating the subsidy.
And therein lies the difference. While Johnson and team are in the war room planning their campaign and launching their PR offensive, STOP and its partner VFAD have thus far failed to take any important or visible steps since early December. They've been silent. They've relied on their attorneys to take action and move the story forward. It's as if they think that qualifying the initiative is all they need to do to win.
If they continue thinking that way, not only will they be surprised by the election outcome, they will have let down their supporters and the majority of Sacramento citizens, who opposed the arena subsidy in 2006 and would likely oppose it again.
Those citizens need leadership if their voice is to be heard. They need STOP and VFAD to quickly step forward, take control of their message, and use every opportunity to remind citizens why they should care about this initiative.
STOP and VFAD will never be able to match the spending that Mayor Johnson's team will throw at the campaign, so they also need to be creative. They need to use highly effective and less costly PR tools like social media to get the word out and mobilize voters.
And they need to act quickly. In fact, they're already behind. And every day, they cede more ground to the mayor's relentless PR attack.
As the Roman poet reminds us, Dum loquimur, fugerit invida aetas: carpe diem. While we speak, envious time has fled: seize the day!
I hope for the sake of Sacramento's citizens that STOP takes these words to heart.
* Note: STOP was a client of Bullet Consulting until early December, when we resigned (on good terms) due to a difference of opinion with STOP regarding strategy.

Who's keeping quiet on repealing the ACA?
November 8, 2011
Opponents of the ACA have been fighting to strike it down ever since it was passed into law. While some of the uproar against health care reform may have diminished over time, criticism is expected to pick up again as the Supreme Court considers taking up the case against it.
This recent article "Follow the Money: How Industry Is Lobbbying to Preserve Reform Law" takes an interesting look at who's for the new health care law and who's against it . . . and who's keeping quiet.
Author Dan Diamond asserts that the health industry has remained quiet on the repeal of health care reform because "health insurance companies, device manufacturers, and many provider associations have strong financial motives to keep the ACA in place."
One of the common allegations from opponents is that the ACA imposes restrictions that are tantamount to a government takeover of the health care system. Despite those assertions, Diamond suggests that the health care industry is staying quiet because it is "hedging its bets" and doesn't want to "alienate an administration that holds huge sway over their bottom lines."
To support his position, the author sites data on lobbying efforts and campaign contributions. Whether he's right or not, it makes for some interesting reading. We'd be interested in your comments on Diamond's argument, as well as on the issue of the health care industry's stake in preserving the ACA. What happens to the insurance industry, for example, if the Supreme Court strikes down the individual mandate but keeps the rest of the law in place?

I ran across a couple articles today about Servant Leadership and it got me thinking about how this model could be used for personal growth as well as leadership growth.
For those of you who might not be familiar with this concept the Servant Leadership Model is a leadership philosophy where a leader develops a synergistic relationship with his subordinates instead of controlling or demanding authority. It's a philosophy of leadership where employees are empowered, giving them decision making power. In an article form Forbes.com written by James Heskett, Why Isn't Servant Leadership More Prevalent? (Forbes, 2013), he defines it roughly as follows: "Servant leadership is an age-old concept, a term loosely used to suggest that a leader's primary role is to serve others, especially employees."
I believe that we should always work hard to be the best person we can be filled with kindness and understanding. So I want to share with you another article I found from Butler University entitled "Ten Principles of Servant Leadership" originally written by the man who coined the phrase 'Servant Leadership', Robert Greenleaf. These are philosophies that will help make each of us a better and more whole person as well as a great leader!
I believe each and every one of these Principles will make us better leaders as well as better people.

How To Save Money At Disney world During This Summer
Summer in the United States is synonymous with family vacations in amusement parks, whether they are mechanical or aquatic.
These are trips that in many cases involve travel, lodging, meals on the outside, tickets and cravings. Good planning helps keep travel costs at reasonable prices but not limited to the much sought after fun.
Discounts on tickets
Tickets are often the "big hit" of trips to Disney parks and others. The average is between $ 55 and $ 100 per person per day. Residents in Florida and California could lower costs if they buy annual passes (about $ 500 per person), but they must be committed to visiting several times a year.
It is difficult to find discounts for tickets to Disney or Universal parks. What is common is that scammers appear so it is recommended that you never buy tickets on eBay or Craigslist.
Disney offers discounts if you visit parks for several days. For example, if you go for five days, the daily cost would be $ 79 instead of $ 104.
As for the water parks, visit sites like Groupon to get discounts. Many times you save up to 20%.
For lovers of vertigo, SixFlags has discounts throughout the year if you buy online. Visit the official site to know the offers.
Hotels and car rental
If the idea is to visit multiple parks for several days, it is recommended that you stay in the surroundings instead of those within the theme parks. Look for offers on sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, and Groupon. The same with car rental.
Full-time employees must visit their benefits because many companies have alliances with airlines and car rental services.
Another accommodation option is Airbnb. There are people who rent whole houses and apartments. This helps you save because you can cook. Many times a whole house is rented for half of what three hotel rooms are worth.
Air tickets
If you plan months in advance you can get good airfares if it is your means of transport. Sites such as CheapTickets and Expedia offer ticket packages, hotels, and car rentals.
Food and souvenirs
The most advisable thing is not to eat in the restaurants of the parks since they are the most expensive. You can choose to bring sandwiches to parks or eat in restaurants outside of them.
The rule of thumb is to never buy in the parks what you can buy outside. It is recommended to take pills for a headache, sunblock, and water before entering the parks.
As for the cute dolls that kids love so much: you can get them at Walmart, Target and the souvenir shops.
It is a matter of planning and discipline before temptations. Enjoy your holidays.

CAIRO - Egypt's military faced pressure on Saturday to speed up its transfer of power to civilians, as top public figures demanded a faster transition and street protests against army rule disrupted the heart of Cairo for a third day.
A civilian council set up to advise the generals recommended they bring forward preparations for presidential elections after a week in which the deaths of 74 people in a soccer stadium disaster heaped more criticism on the generals.
The deaths in Port Said triggered anti-government protests in which a further 12 people have been killed, making it one of Egypt's bloodiest weeks since an uprising swept Hosni Mubarak from power a year ago and left the military in charge.
"In view of the seriousness of the events, the carnage that happened, we cannot be silent, we cannot wait," said Mona Makram Ebeid, a member of the advisory council that made its recommendation at a meeting on Saturday. "It's a revolutionary plea," she told Reuters.
"The advisory council will consider halting its meetings if the military council does not respond," Sherif Zahran, another member of the body, told Reuters.
Formal nominations for the presidency should be accepted starting February 23, according to the recommendation, nearly two months sooner than the April 15 date previously announced.
That could lead to an election as soon as April or May. The existing timetable drawn up by the generals states they will hand power to a president by the end of June. Officials had indicated the election would happen just before then. While not binding, the recommendation raised pressure on the army council, headed by Mubarak's long-time defense minister. It has presented itself as the guardian of the "January 25 revolution" but has been criticized by reformists as a disguised prolongation of Mubarak's rule.
Facing protests in November, the military council accelerated a previous transition timetable by six months but has not said whether it could do so again.
A senior figure in the Muslim Brotherhood, which has mainly been supportive of the army's transition plans, also proposed a vote before June. "The procedures can start in March and end in May instead of June," Essam el-Erian, deputy leader of the group's Freedom and Justice Party, told Reuters.
The biggest party in the newly-elected parliament, the Brotherhood has said it will not field a candidate for the presidency. Candidates for the post Mubarak held for 30 years include Amr Moussa, a former Arab League secretary general, and Abdel Moneim Abul Futuh, a former member of the Brotherhood. The newly-elected parliament must pick a 100-member body to draft the new constitution.
But far from encouraging the military to cede power sooner, this week's violence could convince it to stay in power until mid-year in an attempt to "restore order," said Mustapha Kamel Al-Sayyid, professor of political science at Cairo University. "It will try to stick to the timetable," he said.
In a statement on Friday, the council said Egypt was going through "the most important and dangerous period" in its history and called for Egyptians to "confront attempts at escalation from foreign and domestic parties."
Protests sparked by the Port Said deaths continued. The death toll from unrest in Cairo climbed to seven, the state news agency reported. Another five people have been killed in protests in Suez, east of Cairo.
There has been intense speculation about the cause of the soccer stadium disaster. Some believe remnants of the Mubarak regime triggered violence that caused a stampede. The interior minister has blamed provocations by rival fans.
The protesters laid siege to the Interior Ministry, hurling pieces of broken pavement at police lines and drawing salvoes of tear gas. Ambulances and motorbikes ferried the wounded away from the scene, some of them knocked unconscious by the gas.
While hardcore activists sought to confront the police, others tried to defuse tensions by positioning themselves between the police and the stone-throwers. Some prayed on the ground in front of the police lines to keep protesters back.
Hala Imam, 50, a teacher, said she had come to protest against the military-led government after hearing of the deaths of demonstrators. "Their brothers died in Port Said," she said. "There is no other way people can demand their rights."
