*** Important: If you are thinking about suicide or experiencing a crisis right now, don't wait: Call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest hospital emergency room. There are professionals available who can give you immediate help. ***
I've been deeply moved by the recent movement "It gets better."
In response to some recent high-profile teen suicides, Dan Savage, a well-known writer and openly gay man, sparked a tremendous viral video campaign in the hopes of preventing gay and lesbian teens from choosing suicide. Understanding the deep despair that can come from isolation, taunting and outright homophobia, Savage reaches out to tell teens that "it gets better" — life after high school can be good, fulfilling, and very happy.
Savage and his partner's "It gets better" video has inspired countless others to do the same. Now, any teen facing turmoil related to sexual identity can see and hear the stories of hundred of others who've been there. It is a clear societal plea to wait — don't end your life — it gets better. You will find the life you deserve.
Naturally, the videos are not a fix to the larger issue of discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered teens and adults. But they are speaking out loud about something our society rarely speaks of: suicide.
Suicide: can we talk about it?
It's not that I blame people for not talking openly about suicide. I understand it's hard. Right now, I am fumbling for words, hoping that I am not saying something "wrong."
But surely, if we as a society have successfully learned to talk about safe sex and HIV, we can learn to talk about mental health and suicide. An article in the Ottawa Citizen, although dated now (2002), makes this point clear with numbers: "For over 23 years widespread media and professional attention concentrated on 12,500 AIDS deaths, compared to little concern with 92,000 suicides."
Like most other hard topics — serious illness in children, the death of a child, miscarriage, addiction, mental illness — the silence can often be one of the most difficult parts for the person and their loved ones. Those three simple words — it gets better — may not seem like much. But they can be start. They can provide a tiny glimpse that there could be light at the end of a very deep and suffocating tunnel.
If you've never been to that pit of darkness that a major depressive episode can take you to, then the notion of taking your life might seem utterly unthinkable. So unthinkable that, as a society, we've stigmatized those affected by suicide ideation and those who've loved someone who has committed suicide.
Let's try and talk more about it. Not about the act of suicide, but about suicide prevention.
Suicide takes a heavy toll
Recent media attention has focused on the suicide of teens that were bullyied in relation to gender identity, but the cold hard fact is this, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association (emphasis mine):
In Canada, suicide is the second highest cause of death for youth aged 10-24.
The impact of suicide on a family is incredibly deep and can affect many generations. The statistics tell us that males commit suicide at far greater rates than females, which might explain why slurrs around suicide often debase it as an "unmanly" act — "selfish," or "weak."
These words certainly won't prevent someone in despair from taking their own life. We need much better words to talk about suicide in an open and frank manner because it's enacting a heavy toll on our society. Just consider:
"Men commit suicide at a rate four times higher than that of women. According to a report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), more men in Ontario committed suicide in the past 10 years than died in car crashes." source
And, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), while you have been reading this post, someone in the world has committed suicide. Because every 40 seconds, another life is lost.
Sadly, I think the person I've known to talk about suicide most frankly was the woman who shared my hospital room in a maternity ward. A few hours after I had delivered my son, she had delivered a daughter. While my son looked like a huge, bouncing baby, her daughter — at almost half his size — looked tiny and vulnerable. And so did she. Her partner, the baby's father, had committed suicide while she was in her first trimester.
But what can we do?
This is a tough one …. but I think that talking more openly about suicide and its connection to mental health is a good start. Perhaps it could help deflate the stigma that someone in our family, workplace or school may be feeling.
While countless families and loved ones did not have the advantage of being shown warning signs, we can try to keep ourselves open to the following warning signs, as identified by the Canadian Mental Health Association, in case someone we know shares them with us:
Some warning signs that a person may be suicidal include:
- repeated expressions of hopelessness, helplessness, or desperation,
- behaviour that is out of character, such as recklessness in someone who is normally careful,
- signs of depression – sleeplessness, social withdrawal, loss of appetite, loss of interest in usual activities,
- a sudden and unexpected change to a cheerful attitude,
- giving away prized possessions to friends and family,
- making a will, taking out insurance, or other preparations for death, such as telling final wishes to someone close,
- making remarks related to death and dying, or an expressed intent to commit suicide. An expressed intent to commit suicide should always be taken very seriously.
It gets better
While the campaign's message that "It gets better," is no doubt true to the core, one doesn't need to wait alone until it does. I think it's awful to imagine a young person suffering in silence throughout four years of high school (for an adult, four years may seem like no big deal, but for a young person, it might be an eternity).
I'm not advocating that people need to shout from the rooftops about their own personal despair. Everyone still has a right to their own boundaries, whether they be broad or narrow. But we can encourage one another to talk to someone of trust. And if a person feels unable to speak to someone he or she knows, let's ensure that information is readily available for crisis and support services — as readily available as condoms now are.
Sure, it gets better. But maybe we can help it get better sooner than later.
For more resources and information on suicide: Canadian Children's Rights Council, The Canadian Mental Health Association, Crisis Support Services in Ontario, and in the United States Mental Health America, National Institute of Mental Health (USA), and for my Australian readers SANE Australia.
- What do you think … is there anything we can do to help lower the rates of suicide in our own country? Our own city or town? Perhaps even our own school or workplace?
- How has the "It gets better" campaign affected you?
- The term "bullying" is used a lot these days. Do you think that we bully more as a society now than we did before? Is there a difference between teasing and bullying?

Essay On Insurance Company Tricare
Length: 3 pages (906 Words)
Style: APA
A Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which serves over forty-six beneficiaries, is important in health care system. Since Medicare program started, the leading goal of CMS has been to enable the Medicare beneficiaries get the best modern medicine. Over the last forty years, developments in medical science have provided improved health services for the beneficiaries and others. Through Council on Technology and Innovation (CTI), CMS introduced Navigating Medicare to enable contributors understand how coverage, coding, and fee for new technologies are determined. This paper examines the Medicare program at its origin and the advancements made to date in such areas as eligibility, covered services, and payment.
Over the years, CMS has made meaningful advancement with respect to coverage, coding, and payment processes and how they related. For the purpose of improving shareholders understanding and these processes, CMS has introduced requirements for its operations, including making transparent decisions (Berger, 2014).The requirements further include providing opportunities for public input to enable the exchange of ideas between CMS and interested shareholders. This allowed shareholders to establish a strategy for working with the CMS. The strategy supported timely inception of innovative technology to the Medicare marketplace, enabling Medicare beneficiary's timely access to innovations in health care.

Riding in Iceland is a unique experience – an opportunity to ride strong, willing horses over exciting and adventurous terrain. Riding an Icelandic horse is not only tremendous fun, it is also a great way to experience the natural beauty of Iceland; snow topped mountains, the largest glacier in Europe, volcanoes, thundering waterfalls and striking lunar landscapes.
The Icelandic horse is a pure-bred descendant of those brought to Iceland by the Vikings over a thousand years ago. Horses remain an important part of Icelandic culture; they are used on remote farms to round up livestock and are still the best means of getting around in many parts of the island. Although small, the Icelandic is a powerful horse and has no difficulty carrying someone weighing 100kgs.
The Snæfellsjökull National Park is where you find one of Iceland´s most beautiful and emblematic sights – the glacier-covered cone volcano Snæfellsjökull. The mystery and spiritual aura of this still active volcano were made famous through Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Many of the great Sagas are located in this very area. Today the remote beauty and rich bird life draw visitors from all over the world. The peninsula itself is often called "Iceland in a nutshell" because of its diversity of landscape.
This tour takes us through a landscape of extensive lava fields, craters and ash from ancient eruptions in Hítardalur valley. Enjoy wide-open stretches of light-coloured sand at Löngufjörur beach, where only the tide sets a limit to the freedom of horse and man. The impressive 50-meter deep crater Eldborg is a distinctive landmark, where the light sand turns black once you reach its lava field. On our last riding day we follow the edge of the lava flow along the shore before returning to Stóri-Kálfalækur Farm.

If you would like to use my services , or have any questions about the photo shoot , please contact me via phone, email , fb , or find the contact form above , it is always good to attach a contact telephone number . If I don't pick up the phone , I call you back as soon as possible . If I won't reply within 24 hours , please send me an e-mail again – although I am checking spam mail , an error can always appear 🙂 Thank you
I prefer consulting call in order to avoid misunderstandings and false expectations, if for some reason it is not possible:
* Please make clear, what kind of shoot you are primarily interested in. It is of course possible to shoot Boudoir, Business or even family photos in one day, but it need to be arranged in advance, it differs minimally in styling and appropriate background.
* Will you require the services of stylists? The camera likes to "delete" up to 40% of makeup and in the case of studio strobes as much as 60%. That's why I recommend special photomakeup or at least very expressive makeup. Visage including slight hair modifications (hair curlers, curling .. not haircut or colouring :D) takes about 45-90 minutes, not including the time of the photo shoot.
* Please, choose the clothes with regard to the type of shoot such as a) for a family photo shoot are not recommend gaudy colors and large logos, b) when a business photographing best looks white and pastel colors, c) Boudoir – we can lend you accessories (need to know ahead of time), but it's always good to have at least 1 set of your own underwear and 1 stilettos. Remember, during a photo shoot, you can even change 4x dress, so I recommend wheeled suitcase (spare clothes for children)
Photos for postprocessing you will always select from the preview album with a watermark . I can offer my help with the selection, but I know well that everyone has self "angle" where himself likes most . Additional edited photos upon the package (if you have ), you can always buy . The original RAW photo remain on the server for one year , as well as remains a thumbnail gallery all the time.
Yes , after agreement it is possible to take pictures with almost any pet or animal, even in the studio

|A teenage-Sloane in 2010.
Sloane Stephens lost in three sets that day, but I've been following her career ever since. It also helped that I met her mom and taught her brother who attended my middle school several years ago. Her brother has a big personality, and I got to coach him in baseball, teach him English, and help him plan for the future in our Emerson Sports Academy.
That spring, in 2011, Sloane climbed the ranks and qualified for the main draws at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. So, when I saw her outside of my school on a spring afternoon, I congratulated her on her success. She smiled and was kind, and I continued to be a fan. I watched her beat Serena at the Australian in 2013, and hoped that would be the moment when Sloane would break into the top 10 to stay. But Sloane was inconsistent and struggled with injuries.
Her brother came back to visit a couple years ago, as he was graduation from high school and heading off to college. He wrote me a note using the Cornell Notes we'd forced them to do in Sports Academy. It was one of those wonderful moments in teaching when you get to see phenomenal growth in a young person.
So, this afternoon, after 11 months away from the game, I cried watching Sloane climb into the stands to hug her coach and mom after winning her first Grand Slam title. Her journey has brought her maturity and positivity on the court that she was missing earlier in her career. It was wonderful to see such phenomenal growth in Sloane. I hope this is the first of many victories for her. As always, I'll be pulling for her!

Exelys™ Continuous Sludge Thermal Hydrolysis System
Exelys is an innovative technology that represents the next generation of biosolids thermal hydrolysis.
Thermal hydrolysis is an anaerobic digestion pretreatment process. The thermal hydrolysis process decreases the viscosity of the material and increases volatile solids or organic loading for anaerobic digestion. Increased volatile content entering the digester increases methane production and reduces the amount of biosolids for disposal. Decreased viscosity alters the rheological properties to improve the digested sludge's dewaterability and improves dry solids concentration. Other benefits of thermal hydrolysis include lowering downstream process equipment requirements, reducing process chemical costs and production of Class A biosolids for ease of disposal and beneficial use as bio-fertilizer.
The Exelys™ thermal hydrolysis process is a continuous operated anaerobic digestion pretreatment system. Steam is applied to hard to biodegrade wastewater sludge by the means of a dynamic mixer that instantaneously condenses steam on to the sludge. The use of steam applied to dewatered biosolids and the elevated pressure in the reactors causes the microbial cells to rupture and therefore increases the soluble fraction of COD that is available for anaerobic digestion.
The wastewater facility can benefit from amount of solids that will be reduced; the net result being greater biogas production and lower hauling costs. The sludge viscosity is also greatly decreased such that a 12% solids content can be mixed in a standard anaerobic digester, increasing mesophillic digester capacity by more than 200%. Thermal hydrolysis also reduces the dewatering requirements as post-THP sludge is known to yield higher dewaterability using less polymer, and produce a Class A product.
Combination of Thermal Hydrolysis and Anaerobic Digestion
- Increase the anaerobic digestion capacity of an existing installation, maximizing existing infrastructure
- Reduce the amount of biosolids produced, offering disposal costs savings
- Meets Class A requirements, providing a marketable end product
- Reduce the anaerobic digestion volume of a new installation by up to 50%, decreasing capital costs
- Increase biogas production, meeting sustainable initiatives
The Veolia Advantage
- Standard Package Systems
- Variable configurations to improve energy efficiency
- Worldwide experience
- Understanding of full sludge treatment plant
High solids content sludge results in more efficient energy utilization
- Heating solids, not water
Continuous automated operation allows for optimal performance
- Effective asset utilization
Higher solids loading in the digester due to the hydrolysate's characteristics, increases capacity of existing digesters by up to 50%
- Cost effective expansion of digester capacity for the future
Heat recovery and recycling further improving energy efficiency
Simple and efficient maintenance and cleaning of components
- Decreased O&M costs
Digestion - Lysis - Digestion
DLD (Digestion - Lysis - Digestion) is an innovative process configuration designed to become the powerhouse of your wastewater treatment plant. The DLD optimizes the biosolids anaerobic digestion process, maximizing the production of renewable biogas energy while minimizing biosolids requiring disposal. At the core of the process is the Exelys continuous thermal hydrolysis technology - an energy efficient thermal hydrolysis system. By integrating the Exelys technology, more renewable biogas energy is available for electricity generation. In a modern wastewater treatment plant where energy efficiency is vital, the increased biogas energy available from the DLD solution is enough to make the entire wastewater treatment process energy self-sufficient - decreasing costs and reducing carbon footprint.
Optimized utilization of biosolids
- Maximized solids destruction - maximized biogas production
First digestion reduces loading on the thermal hydrolysis system
- Less biogas consumed - more available for other applications
Hard COD production minimized
- Carbohydrates and ammonia removed in first digestion/dewatering
Energy recovery and recycling is optimized
- Nothing is wasted

Forest City London's successful seven-year run in the United States-based Premier Development League is done.
A new company — rechristened Football Club London — will operate men's and women's under-23 semi-pro teams this summer in the Ontario Soccer Association-driven League1 Ontario, which has stiff caps on allowing international and overage players in an effort to promote Canadian talent.
"The Canadian Soccer Association and OSA wants home-grown players to play in home-grown leagues," said Ian Campbell, who retains control of the reloaded FC London venture. "We've seen paperwork that, as of 2017, no Ontario-based team will be allowed to play in PDL. Knowing that's coming, I wanted to get in front of that so we decided to start a new organization with a new name, new logo and new leadership."
There will be a different coach, too. Martin Painter, who guided the Blues to a PDL championship in 2012, has been the field-level face of the franchise. He texted from Europe that he is a free agent and doesn't expect to be involved in FC moving forward.
He also indicated this new set-up would be a plus for London elite women's soccer and may allow for more local young men to be involved.
"Martin was instrumental in helping make these decisions," Campbell said. "He's got a lot of things going on. He works as a scout with a professional club, he coaches the Western women's team and is district coach at EMSA (Elgin Middlesex Soccer Association). When you combine all that, it's a lot of time on soccer fields.
"At this point, I'm thinking he won't be involved. When he gets back, we'll have a conversation on if there's a fit, but this looks like a natural transition point."
The team is in talks with the German Canadian Club to run both men's and women's matches at Cove Road Field again. There are more home games (11) than in PDL play, a longer season but also way less travel.
"We've got games in Toronto, Kingston and Windsor," Campbell said. "The operational budget to run this team is less than other leagues that I've been involved in. The ability to promote local players harder, be a pathway to development and be involved in women's soccer is very exciting.
"We can be the star on the Christmas tree when players get to age 18 instead of travelling to God knows where for a game."
To that end, FC has affiliated with soon-to-be announced local youth clubs to create a pipeline from age four right up to League1. The goal is to advance talent to the point where they can play for the national under-20 team and be drafted into the pro ranks.
Each team is allowed to carry three non-Canadians and a couple of overages.
"We've decided to run as an amateur team and from what I can tell, all the teams will run that way," Campbell said. "If you run a pro team, you need a minimum salary cap. If we want to do that down the road, we have that flexibility, but it's early days. Until we can get someone to buy us a stadium or get enough money to buy our own, we'll stay where we are."
There are some familiar faces in the League1 loop.
The Windsor Stars are there. Toronto FC runs a team in it. So does the former Toronto Lynx organization, which has become the Oakville Blue Devils and the defending men's league champions.
K-W United, which won the PDL title last season, has decided to stay put at least for this year.
"We had our day in PDL," said Campbell, who relinquishes his local rights to the U.S. league. "They've got 74 teams. We were one of many. Some point down the road, maybe some things change and we're back in. But everyone has to continue to move and evolve. We saw the writing on the wall that at some point, we wanted to be in League1. We chose one that would have longevity."
It will be up to the FC fan base, of course, to decide if they appreciate this new blue shade. If they still like what Football Club London is selling, it will be a successful move.
"We've proven we can communicate well with our fans and provide sports entertainment that's good value for the dollar," Campbell said. "I've seen a couple of League1 games and it's very high-quality.
"Our team will be very competitive and the goal will be to win a championship while giving local players a shot and create excitement for the fans."
It's not quite starting over from scratch.
FC London will provide two of the eight new teams (men's and women's) in Ontario's elite under-23 soccer league in 2016. Here are the others.
Men: North Toronto Nitros, Toronto Skillz FC, Aurora United FC
Women: Aurora United FC, Darby FC (operated by Whitby and Darlington), Kingston Clippers

6 Dogs That Are Having a Way Worse Day Than You
Posted on September 21, 2016 in Bees, Prevention
We love our animals dearly. At Go-Forth Pest Control, we only offer the best, safest services for you and your furry friends. But sometimes, we can all be guilty of sticking our noses where they don't belong! Take a look at these six dogs, who might have gotten a little too nosy around a bees nest, and are definitely having a WAY worse day than you…
Like this guy, who looks like he was living his best life, frolicking in the long grass right before misfortune befell him.
Or this chicken nugget who thinks if he avoids eye-contact for long enough, the guilt will just cease to exist…
Or this dog who resigned himself to his chambers, because he now knows nothing but defeat.
And this guilty fellow who thinks he may have gone too far by wanting to get "a little work done."
Or this contemplative pup who is currently reflecting back on a lifetime of poor decisions.
But finally, there is no better example of palpable shame than this poor dog, who isn't quite sure where it all went wrong but looks like the photo definition of the word "remorse."
At Go-Forth, we offer safe nest removal and relocation. It is always best to call as soon as you suspect a problem so that both you, and your pets, can enjoy the rest of your summer, sting-free.

Missed chances hurt D-backs in loss to Rox
PHOENIX -- When you're facing an opposing hitter who is in the midst of a record-setting debut, and an offense that ties a club record for home runs in a three-game road series, missing out on scoring opportunities isn't advisable.Yet that's what the D-backs did in two innings on Wednesday,
PHOENIX -- When you're facing an opposing hitter who is in the midst of a record-setting debut, and an offense that ties a club record for home runs in a three-game road series, missing out on scoring opportunities isn't advisable.
Yet that's what the D-backs did in two innings on Wednesday, and it cost them in a 4-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies in a series-deciding game at Chase Field.
"We had some situational hitting issues that sort of cropped up," said D-backs manager Chip Hale. "We had a lot of those last season.
"We had done a pretty good job in Spring Training and in the first two games [of the regular season] of getting guys in from third with less than two outs. We just didn't put the ball in play a couple of times, and left some guys on base."
The D-backs played from behind from two batters into the game. That was when Rockies rookie shortstop Trevor Story belted his fourth homer in three games, giving them a 2-0 edge.
LeMahieu hit a solo homer in the top of third, and the D-backs got to Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood for two in the bottom of that inning, but could have had more.
After singles by losing pitcher Patrick Corbin and Nick Ahmed, Chatwood made matters worse by throwing wildly to second base after fielding a comebacker by Jean Segura. So instead of a one-out, first-and-third situation, Chatwood had to face Chris Owings with the bases loaded.
Owings hit into a run-producing fielder's choice, and then Chatwood hit Paul Goldschmidt with a pitch to reload the bases. David Peralta scored the second run on another forceout, but Chatwood got yet another grounder to end the threat.
"We were one hit away the whole game,'' Goldschmidt said. "We definitely could have used one more hit. But they made their pitches. Give them credit."
The Rockies' 10th homer of the series (which tied a club record) came off Ryan Raburn's bat in the top of the seventh. The D-backs responded in the bottom of the inning with singles by pinch-hitter Phil Gosselin and Segura, bringing up Owings in a one-out, first-and-third situation.
But Owings struck out against hard-throwing rookie Miguel Castro, who relieved Chatwood after the Segura hit. Goldschmidt then was pitched around for a walk to again load the bases. Rockies manager Walt Weiss turned to left-hander Boone Logan to face Peralta, who bounced out to second to end the inning.
"We were trying to even it up the whole game, but we weren't able to do it," Goldschmidt said.

The irony way of living
In the historical center of Florence, in a noble palace of ancient medieval origins, the architecture and design Luigi Fragola Architects Studio has created an ironic renovation project of an apartment.
Throughout history the building has undergone some transformations that have compromised its historical value. The project has therefore foreseen a conservative restoration in accordance with the classicism of the building. Spaces, provided with simple lines and rigorous geometries furniture, reproduce a classic taste with clear modern style through the use of soft colors and a trompe l'oeil decoration that recalls the Florentine Renaissance frescoes.
Regained the classicism an rigor of the spaces, the client has expressed the desire to enrich the apartment with ironic motifs and colorful accents. The request has been fully satisfied adding contemporary artworks especially selected to create a catchy pop atmosphere. Thus, the rigor of classical modern style is mixed with the boldness and the irony of important contemporary Florentine and international artists artworks.
In the lobby, an elegant and understated console is decorated with design objects and prints of the photographer Olivia Magris, while a huge mirror and the two Panton chair by Vitra define an essential but clearly ambitious space, from which it is immediately understandable the general mood of the house.
In the living room, the neutral simplicity of the padded is in contrast with the color of Simon Miller artwork and the boldness of Clet Abraham sculpture. Above the fireplace frame of rigid style, that has been redesigned with pure and essential lines and covered with stone, has been added the sharp print of Luigi Fragola and Francesca Guicciardini.
In the dining room, the ironic sculpture of Clet Abraham (parody of the coffee machine), overlooking this space, animates the simplicity of the furniture. Above the console the biting artwork of the Australian artist Simon Miller completes the original atmosphere of this room.
The kitchen of clear classical style, is pervaded by the pink press of Luigi Fragola and Francesca Guicciardini that reflects on the Carrara marble top creating a dramatic pop effect.
In the master bedroom the elegant and refined furnishings have been custom-designed, the artworks here included are realized by Francesca Guicciardini and Olivia Magris.
The opposition between the austerity and rigor of the classical contemporary style and the irony and color of biting and provocative elements, has allowed us to create powerful and provocative atmospheres that represent the irony of living required by the client.

Earlier this month, Battery Ventures and the Tel Aviv Microsoft Accelerator, an acceleration program working with later-stage startups, co-hosted a workshop for a group of 20 product managers. Though these executives have multiple job responsibilities and goals, the workshop focused on two key proficiencies: Executing a solid go-to-market strategy and formulating a pricing strategy.
According to Baruch Deutsch, a former hi-tech marketing executive, now a consultant, mentor and speaker, both of these goals map back to the same, fundamental, understanding: Product managers must speak with and know their users! This has to happen from day one and continue as managers test their product concept with future clients, work to improve retention and frequency-of-use rates, and choose the best pricing method for their product.
The workshop included an exhaustive review of issues related to business models and pricing but also group exercises dealing with actual problems the PMs are facing in their companies. This group brainstorming–coupled with Deutsch's feedback and insights–helped attendees understand and evaluate various revenue models, from software licenses to subscriptions to ad-based models; how to create a basic income statement; churn and customer-acquisition costs; and more.
A good PM will help align his or her company with the market. Often, a company's business goals and what users actually want and expect to get from its product don't necessarily align. For example: Most of us don't want to see ads when we're using an app or a service online. But what if monetization is only possible through ads? Figuring out whether users can tolerate ads, or other types of pricing plans they may not initially want, is an art a good PM needs to master—and sometimes has more to do with psychology than business, Deutsch said.
Deutsch also noted that PMs need to learn how to partner with different sales channels, when each of those channels, from inside sales to selling through strategic partners, has their own quirks.
As far as go-to-market topics, the workshop covered establishing sales channels, mastering demand generation, how to nurture leads and how to approach CRM, among other topics. Deutsch stressed that early on, PMs can't and shouldn't delegate customer acquisition solely to sales. A PM needs to be involved, particularly in terms of communicating the company's value proposition, fine-tuning positioning and testing pricing. Finally, after sales start coming in, PMs need to be positioned to handle customer crises.
The bottom line: Product managers have a complex job, but with the right mix of customer insights, data and gut feel, they can make products successful in the market.

Simpleview requires that a copy of the Primary Simpleview Database is available to the integration. This needs to be done in conjunction with Simpleview itself, and it is best to be included as part of an early conversation with Simpleview so that it is part of the implementation plan.
The database copy can be placed wherever is appropriate for Simpleview as long as it is available via the Internet. The data from the production copy of Simpleview needs to be pushed into the primary database copy on a regular basis in order to keep the email lists as current as possible. The frequency of updates should be decided upon between you and Simpleview.
You will also need to have access to the primary database copy via SQL Server Management Studio's console in order to create objects in SQL server.

I got diagnosed with Walking Pneumonia in December.
I have felt like a Young Living Failure ever since.
There, I said it. I have been feeling guilty for weeks.
In Young Living Leadership circles, there's a catchy phrase you may have heard, "Be a Product of the Product". The theory being, if you are trying to get a product out there, you should use it. Daily. I do. I use my Oils every day. I drink the Vitality Oils. I diffuse Oils in any room that I'm in for more than a couple minutes. I take the supplements. Maybe not every thing. But a lot of them!
I was taking my vitamins every day during December. I was taking Immupro every night. Was I drinking Ningxia Red and Inner Defense every day? No. No, not really. I should have. I've done that before, made sure that we all are drinking our Ningxia Red every day. But I didn't last month. Clearly I should have. Is that where the problem occurred? I don't know.
Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.
I still feel bad. Like I'm still sick. I lost my voice for Christmas. I'm still coughing. I'm coming down from the Prednisone that got me through Christmas, and I feel terrible. When I cough, my head feels like it's going to split. It's not so bad most of the day, but when I lay down, or get up, I cough for like an hour, and sound disgusting. I have a finite amount of energy, and can do 1 or 2 things a day, and That's It. I want to do More!!
I want so badly to start this year with my Young Living business gangbusters. I didn't do much business wise last year, except care for my team. That was good, but I want to kick it up a notch. But I feel like I'm not any kind of good motivation while I'm still coughing and disgusting.
It occurred to me this morning, that it could be worse. Much Worse! I could have the kind of pneumonia that lands you in the hospital. I could've been stuck in Isolation, away from my kids, on Christmas, and New Years. Instead, I just have had to take a nap every day. While on Vacation. And I've been able to attend almost every Family Get Together.
My Oils got me this far. That was a new thought, a non-guilt inducing thought. Maybe I'd be in a worse mess if I wasn't oiling. That kind of gave me hope. I was able to be home with my family, celebrating Christmas and New Years with my loved ones instead of being sick in a hospital like most folks who get pneumonia. I'm Thankful for that.

Bon Voyage for Spring Break!
I had a Class on the Bon Voyage Kit, a special travel package offered by Young Living. Our Spring Break begins this weekend! And what could be more Perfect than being able to travel with small (TSA approved 3 oz or less) sized containers of your favorite Oily Products!
These are the goodies that come in the Bon Voyage Kit.
I had tried most of them before getting this myself.
But I fell in love with the Genesis hand and body lotion, it's so mild but so moisturizing.
The first time I traveled with it, was to Walt Disney World, and I put it on under my socks before traipsing all over the Park. By the end of the day, my feet were so soft! I couldn't believe it.
Plus, I loved having Lavender shampoo and conditioner on the road or after a swim, it was so much nicer than that cruddy stuff hotels give you. Perfect for all road trips!
Crystal was our big winner today!
She won the Kit we used to talk about!
She loves the lip balm best, but also liked the smell and feel of the Genesis lotion.

For Wisdom like Yoda
My eldest is taking the ISTEP, a standardized test for his class.
Normally, he doesn't get too stressed out about this, but he is on the Spectrum, and sometimes he surprises me. This morning as he took off for school, he asked me to make him a rollon.
Clarity is an Amazing blend for the brain, it has Basil, Rosemary, Peppermint, Cardamom, Coriander, Geranium, Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, and Palmarosa. It's a great blend, and we all love it for focus. I blend Vetiver into it too. Vetiver is a strong sap, so it must be warmed before using, or it won't drop. I've pulled the drop reducer, and it still wouldn't budge. Well, I got smart this time, I put it down my bra to warm it while I took my littlest to Preschool. It worked swimmingly, but instead of warming for 10 minutes, I got distracted, and forgot about it for 3 1/2 hours. Ha Ha! Squirrel!
Meanwhile, it dripped out just fine, being body temperature. And I was able to find some Star Wars duct tape around the house. So I put a slab on it. The picture I cut, just happened to have Yoda on it. Yoda is always a big hit.
For Wisdom like Yoda:
30 drops Clarity
10 drops Vetiver
Fill the rest of the way with V6, which is absorbed quickly and doesn't leave stains.

Foot Rollon for Fathers
I made this great rollon for my Dad for his Birthday. He's been needing some support in his feet, and I found this great recipe online. I liked it so much, I made one for myself. I keep it in my nightstand, so that when I wake and my feet need a little attention, I can roll this across the arches. It's Great!

Day 5 - It is done
It is done. This was my last Balance Complete shake. My breakfast this morning was Balance Complete and almond milk, and I just had such a hard time getting it down. It's just started to go so slowly, and I wished I was done. It's almost like I didn't want to do it anymore. The only snacks I had today were Tea at Starbucks. Lunch was better because I took the liberties of spiking my shake with Ningxia, Almond Milk, spinach and a banana. They made it taste better. I mean, really, isn't everything better with a banana?
This was the Last.
This was my dinner smoothie. I was happy to end it on a good night, Balance Complete with Ningxia Red, almond milk, spinach and a banana. I'm glad it's done. I had a friend tell me, she did this Cleanse some time ago.
I hadn't lost any weight this morning. I wonder if my body got mad because I forgot to eat (drink) dinner last night. I hope it's not Starvation mode. Though Eric and I were talking about it over breakfast, he's lost 4 pounds. I lost 3, if you don't consider how bloated I was from the weekend weight, otherwise, I'll consider it 5. Somewhere in there, I guess. I hope the weight stays off.
I'm worried if I'm going to bloat and blow up again when I start eating real food tomorrow.
I feel more clearheaded. I see my anklebones, which had been disappearing for years.
According to the paperwork, this cleanse should be done 4 times a year. I don't think I could do that. But I could see doing it again sometime. It'll be a while though, I currently can't do anymore Balance Complete. If I do get a wild hair and try to drink a shake tomorrow, it will be Pure Protein Chocolate! I don't think I want to move into a new diet/lifestyle, like the Whole 30 or something.
Frankly, I'd be happy if I could just stop craving deep fried meat, or sugar glutens with dairy. My body is no longer craving cookies every two hours, which basically was my goal. I feel better about that. Instead of craving sugar to the point I feel like I've got the shakes, I just want Everything. I have been successful at watching others eat around me, and not join them. I'm Still craving pickles, I'm telling you, pickles will be Lunch tomorrow! I think I broke my coffee craving. That's good, because I was drinking a lot of coffee flavored sugar milk. Tomorrow, I might venture into adding honey to my tea. It's been getting a little boring. I want to go slowly, gently, so I can be wise. I don't know. We're supposed to have a Birthday dinner with my Dad tomorrow, not sure how Wise I can be.
We'll see.

Cloud Security 3 Min Read
How to Cut Through Vendor Claims & Marketing Hype When Evaluating New Security Tools
Nathan Cooprider February 28, 2019
As we've pointed out in a couple of recent blog posts, Machine Learning (ML) has been billed as a savior for short-staffed security teams — a silver bullet that can single handedly identify and mitigate every security threat automatically. As we usually do with silver bullet solutions, we've cautioned readers to distinguish between the hype and reality. While ML has many strengths and is here to stay, it's only a part of the solution in the world of cybersecurity — not the solution itself. Human input is still essential to draw meaningful conclusions and define appropriate action.
In today's post, we're continuing to advise readers that it's essential to go below the surface, to distinguish between the hype and reality, when evaluating a cybersecurity solution. Remember: A beautiful package may open up to reveal a beautiful can of worms. Keep your eyes open, investigate below the surface, and avoid nasty surprises.
Abstraction permeates the computing field, including security. Each abstraction layer makes the problem easier to conceptualize and reason about, but it also hides details and can make investigating deviances from the abstraction difficult. Machine Learning (ML) represents a powerful abstraction of programming via statistics and patterns. Like other abstractions, it makes the problem easier to think about: "The computer is learning how to handle this data." Also like other abstractions, it makes deviances hard to debug: "Why did we miss that one?" Even if users have the propensity to investigate into the model, proprietary methods often prevent peering behind the curtain and hand tuning models.
We live in a world that tries to give more and more of our agency to computers. We curate our feeds with thumbs-up or thumbs-down, and hopefully that improves the content. Our attempts to tune the machine learning algorithm do not always bear fruit. Sometimes I still get horrible songs on Pandora. Facebook still shows me things I do not care about. I've only tuned Pinterest a little, so it shows me all sorts of weird things. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's frustrating. In a security setting it can be dangerous.
Take a moment to consider the motivations behind looking for a security solution. Now consider how vendors sell their products. Do those two align? Unfortunately, the money grab for funding leads to flashy demos and hyperbole, both from vendors and from internal stakeholders. The necessity of this presentation is nearly a fait accompli, but flashy demos and hyperbole are often not the goal for a security solution. This means that a lot of time and effort goes into making a fancy cover. Defenders forget the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover," and this can lead unscrupulous advocates of security solutions to spend inordinate amounts of time on the cover compared to the substance inside.
Enumerate some of that substance a defender wants from a security solution:
- Detect security incidents
- Achieve compliance
- Provide visibility into systems
- Support infrastructure in transition
- Operate at speed and scale
- Protect past, present, and future innovation
A demo can and should illustrate the capabilities mentioned above, but it can also sweep weaknesses under the rug. Also note that the various items listed above do not include the "how" of the solutions. Evaluating the "how" can help us make sure the solution adequately deals with the "what," but it does not supersede the "what." Whether a solution uses machine learning or the blockchain becomes irrelevant when compared to evaluating whether it meets the needs of the user.
We have a beautiful cover on our product here at Threat Stack, but it also provides the goods. Our platform has many powerful features that demo well, but we're not just a whited sepulchre. We find that while our customers appreciate the sleek UI, they find the most value in the data we provide. That data can get accessed through the app, but also via our REST API, and our S3 bucket export. We do not lock your data inside a black box.
A Few Final Words . . .
Security will always require human expertise to one degree or another. If you're looking to supplement your in-house security team, we've created the Threat Stack Cloud SecOps Program℠ , a series of services that are designed take the investigation workload off the organization and provide recommended actions based on contextualized insights from our Cloud Security Platform®.

Unlimited Fibre Broadband FAQs
Can I download as much as I like?
Yes. When we say totally unlimited, we mean exactly that. As an Unlimited Fibre Broadband customer, you'll be able to upload and download freely, every month. There are no data caps, download limits or extra charges. And we don't slow fibre broadband speeds at peak times. We're open and honest about our traffic management policies. To find out more, look at our Fair & Acceptable usage policy in our Terms & Conditions.
We'll give you a download speed estimate before you confirm your Unlimited Fibre Broadband order. This will give the speeds your line should be capable of reaching under best possible conditions. Attach one device to your Wi-Fi router via an Ethernet cable and it should operate around the same speed.
The actual speed of your Unlimited Fibre Broadband might be slower than the advertised speed or any download speed estimate we supply.
Fibre broadband speeds can be affected by a number of things:
1. Where you live
2. The distance from the exchange to your phone line
3. Speed of similar lines in your area
4. Quality of your home wiring
5. Time of day you're online
6. How many people are using your network at the same time
7. Interference from electrical devices like halogen lamps, speakers and baby monitors
There are three ways you can check how fast your Unlimited Fibre Broadband will be.
1. Online, using our fibre speed checker and availability tool
2. In-branch. Find your nearest Post Office with our Branch Finder
3. Over the phone – call us on 0800 066 0514
We can arrange line installation for you when you place your Unlimited Fibre Broadband order. We'll arrange a date and time for an Openreach engineer to visit your home to install your new line. And discuss all costs with you before confirming your order.
As little as 10 working days from the time you confirm your order online, in-branch or over the phone. Provided you already have a working phone line at your home. If not, or we need to arrange new line installation, it may take longer. Switching from cable-based service providers like Virgin Media may also take longer.
Your welcome pack will include an estimated start date. We'll send your pack within 5 working days of confirming your order.
With Post Office Home Phone, you've got the option to block all outgoing calls on your line. To do so, just call our Customer Care Line – 0345 600 3210. You'll still be able to take calls on your landline phone. And call emergency services such as 999 and 112.
Check our price guide and see how much you could save with Post Office. Our call rates are amongst the lowest in the UK.
That's usually fine. We'll tell you if you can keep your number when you place your order. If network issues mean we can't transfer your number, you'll get the option of a new one. We'll give you the expected switchover date or timeframe. It's generally the go-live date specified in the welcome pack we send 5 working days after you confirm your order.
And if we can't switch your number by the agreed date, you might be able to claim compensation. Check our Price Guide for details.
Not if you're with BT, TalkTalk or Plusnet. We'll handle the switcher and cancel on your behalf. If you're with Virgin Media, don't cancel their service before your Post Office Unlimited Broadband goes live.
You may cancel your fibre broadband order any time up to 14 calendar days from the day after you place your order. If your service has already gone live, you may cancel your service at any time but may be subject to Early Termination Charges if your service has a minimum contract term. Details on these charges and your rights to cancel can be found in our Broadband & Phone - Terms and conditions and Price Guide.
Fibre Broadband Speeds
Average fibre speeds are based on the download speeds of at least 50% of our customer base at peak time (8pm-10pm) as at 01/07/2019. Fibre speeds will vary depending on a number of different factors. Your exact fibre speed estimate will be given at point of sale. We'll estimate your fibre download speed range when you check availability at your address. Fibre speeds may be lower than the advertised average peak time speeds or any speed estimate we provide due to factors outside our control such as the distance your home is from the telephone exchange, the specification of your computer, the condition of the fibre wiring in your home or other factors such electrical interference. You may also notice a drop in your fibre speeds during peak times in the evening and at weekends when more people are using the internet. For more information see www.postoffice.co.uk/broadband-speed

My father in a soft moonlight,
waiting for some dream to waken him . . .
I listen to him crying
but he doesn't know I am his daughter.
He suffers from failure—that, and some
lost love. My imagination cannot save him.
He stares at a small gray river.
The water-moon quivers his face.
He thinks that love has abandoned him.
My mother stands watching from
her own sad distance—I look
from one to the other and cry out to them.
(first pub. in Medusa's Kitchen, 2015)
Father is a crude wooden carving outside the front door.
Mother won't let him in. He has pegs for arms and a lap
to sit on where we can change shoes. His expressionless
eyes stare out—painted a dull and listless brown. He does
not know what he has become.
Mother says that next time we move she's just going to
leave him there—in the rain—in the sun—in the traveling
winds that wear him down. She says that we've got to quit
carrying him from place to place—from year to year. She
says we've got to quit even remembering him anymore.
and years grew fast and long between us,
leaving me only Mother.
This is not a complaint—or a cry.
I don't know what it is.
Perhaps a door that I cannot open—
or close.
Perhaps there should be only the doorway
and no door—an opening
that is the fatherless world—
and no walls around it, to signify no house.
You were not a house, Father; only a door.
With a turn of the knob
you exited.
I still write Why on the wall that is not there.
I am a press
of leaf-saving…
I open my book
and everything
falls out, th-
e delicate
and places
of words that
are stained
with their
just as you, Fa-
ther, just as you…
I imagine him playing a flute
in a long wet corridor
walled in stone.
I imagine him mysterious,
facing the east with burning eyes,
and at night the west.
I imagine him father to some burning child
made of melting bone, with soul of cold fire
and mouth holding an old moan.
I imagine a long cold note of sadness
that he cannot hear
floating between us in the closing air.
This is the fatherless year
of devastation
when all things break and are gone . . .
I imagine my father . . .
broken . . .
gone . . .
After CD Jacket, girl with butterfly and two birds
Your hands are too small
to hold all that you desire.
The live butterfly
caught in your hair
will not love you for long.
The tethered swallow
you keep on a string
will escape
back to the wall paper.
The beautifully feathered bird
you hold on a stick
will lose its will to fly away.
You are too innocent for such power—
to keep all that life as yours,
to possess and try to tame—
standing there in all your defiance,
as if you dare not believe me.
I float upon calm water surface
bobbed gently
rocking nowhere
no tide.
The dolls float beside me
their rigid arms upraised
their faces staring at a sky.
Is that a sky
or ceiling;
is this a sea
or room?
The dolls multiply;
they wear my dresses.
(How did they get that large?)
At last they touch me.
I terrify.
My many eyes assess my mirrors.
The walls stream.
The room is raining on the sides.
The dolls are sighing . . .
breathing . . .
I multiply,
my struck selves touching
coping with the mystery
of looking for who I am . . .
my many lives.
I hear the light bristle
full of inflections
touching the glass of all my clothing
like shock-costumes
I must wear through scenes . . .
ever back toward my mother
who is always at the edges
floating huge dolls out to me
on all her fragile sighing strings.
(first pub. in Maryland Poetry Review, 1989)
paints a sun

and yellow

into the ground
where the grass
is hard lines of green
the dog
with all its legs
on one side
smiles at the face of

and the boy
and the girl
with the straight-stick
arms and legs
are brother and sister
and the smiling

at the boy and the
girl and the
dog and the
and the house
with the black curls
climbing from the chimney
stands behind them all
and is very happy
and the blue blue sky
with the fluffy
white clouds
is full of birds
draws them singing
And there you are—
my sister, whom
I have lost so many times.
This time you come to me as a doll
with all your emotion smoothed
to a cold perfection.
How I envy you this—ageless
and without the wear, while
I wear the patina for both of us.
And why are you the silent one
with no question?
Why this return?
Where have you been? What
journey? What experience?
Did Mother send you?
I ache with an old loneliness.
You look at me in the old blank way.
Did you know our father?
Dear Old Dad, the one I never had—
Here's to you, Father.

Multi Zen
House & Garden Multi Zen is a useful stimulator, rich in enzymes,co-enzymes and vitamins. Multi Zen accelerates and simplifies the growth process and strengthens the plants immunity. It helps break down and dissolve dead root material when watered and also increases the plants resistance to disease and stress. The enzymes convert the base nutrient into ready to use micro nutrient which is far more easily assimilated by the plant.
Product Information
House & Garden Multi Zen is a collective term for a wide range of useful enzymes, which are very important for the plants to metabolically exchange their plant sugars. Enzymes are small catalysts that trigger these processes and keep them in tune with the plant's growth rate.
Dilution Rates
Dilution rate of Multi Zen is 1ml/L
Use Multi Zen throughout the entire growth cycle.
Prepare your nutrient container by first adding your base nutrient (e.g Cocos, Hydro or Soil) to the water container. Adjust your EC of the nutrient and then add your Multi Zyme. Adjust the pH value to harmonize with the nutrient solution.

It is great to look back on the previous month and see where I am at, and where I am going. This has been a bad month for me in one respect. I have been missing appointments with my therapist. My first missed appointment in January was because my therapist was sick. The second was because I was sick. Being sick seems to be going around because everyone I know is really sick. It happens at this time of the year.
I have been super busy, but I haven't really thought about things like I should have, like it when it comes to my social anxiety. I have been really focused, but it's always in my safe place. Where I live.
I worry how that will affect me this week and even beyond this week. It will be a couple of weeks before my therapist has time to see me again and my social anxiety is still my biggest issue. I plan on working on my social anxiety this month, and in the coming months. I have been in a good place with my anxiety but its here where I live. With my new Ativan dosage but being sick this week I haven't had a chance to refocus.
I need to start leaving my house more so that I can get back into a routine. My hope is to get my social anxiety under control using cognitive behavioral therapy and immersion therapy. Getting out of my safe place is a priority. That means getting out and not to places that make me feel safe if that makes sense. I want to get my anxiety when I am driving under control as well.
It is one of my biggest things I want to work in 2018. I am not really looking forward to it because, well its going to be tough. My social anxiety is my greatest weakness. I have been able to get my depression under control (my goal for 2017) but anxiety, in general, has always eluded me. I am hopeful but worried at the same time.
Things are going so well in my life. I am very hopeful and cautious. At the same time, I am ready to tackle another month, even with being sick. So here is to another great month.
Always keep fighting.
