Background: Professional behavior has become a cross-cutting element in medical curricula. Our definition of professional behavior is "observable behavior from which the norms and values of the medical professional can be inferred". Professional behavior can be divided into three domains, i.e. 'dealing with tasks/work', 'dealing with others' and 'dealing with oneself'. At our medical school, a student who behaves unprofessionally, can be referred to the LUMC professional behavior board. This board consists of MDs as well as a psychologist and invites the student to discuss his/her case. In conjunction with the student a remediation program will be started. Summary of work: We categorized the reported cases (June 2009-January 2013) in terms of the three domains, in terms of the phase in the curriculum, gender and background of the student.
Summary of results: Over the past 3,5 years, 69 cases were reported (about 2 % of the students), most of them during the internships. The majority was male (n=46, i.e. 67% of the reported students, whereas of the total amount of students only 35% is male), about 30% (n=21) was of foreign background and in most cases a combination of domains was impaired. Conclusions: Unprofessional behavior is most often observed during internships. Men and foreign students are over-represented. The outcomes at LUMC seem to match with the outcomes of other medical schools, but more research is needed to confirm this. Take-home messages: A minority of the students is referred to our professional behaviour board, most often during internships. Men and foreign students are over-represented.

Background: Medical schools have been increasingly engaged in the teaching and assessment of medical professionalism, as reflected in the medical education literature. By contrast, there have been limited reports on formal remediation for medical students with lapses in professional behavior, an area that has not been well researched.
Summary of work: The authors conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive study examining strategies used by US and Canadian medical schools to remediate students' lapses in professionalism. Senior faculty or administrators responsible for professionalism at these schools were invited to participate in the study and 85 accepted (55%). Data were collected by phone interview using a structured questionnaire comprising open and closed-ended questions.
Summary of results: Schools generally use a number of strategies to remediate unprofessional lapses. The most commonly used are mandated mental health evaluation (and/or treatment); repetition of course or clerkships under faculty supervision focusing on professionalism deficit; directed independent study with or without assigned projects; stress management counseling and professionalism mentoring. Community service is not frequently prescribed. Some respondents highlighted the importance of dialogue with the student and others emphasized the evaluation of student stress level and mental health. Thirty-eight schools have a faculty development program to train faculty on how to respond to professionalism issues. Conclusions: This survey found schools employing a range of professionalism remediation strategies. Take-home messages: The remediation of professionalism lapse requires a variety of individualized strategies.
Teaching, training, and assessment of professional behaviour at VUmc School of Medical Sciences Amsterdam

Rashmi Kusurkar (VUmc School of Medical Sciences, Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Background: Training in professionalism has been recommended as an integral part of the medical curriculum. We wanted to design a programme in which professional behaviour would be enmeshed in medical and technical/clinical courses.
Summary of work: We designed an educational theme "Professional Behaviour" (PB) as a longitudinal thread throughout the six-year curriculum, and implemented it from September 2010. All teachers are involved in explicit and implicit teaching of PB. PB is taught to all students and not only to those who display unprofessional behaviour. Both formative and summative assessments are carried out for PB. Students' self-reflection is promoted by feedback from peers and teachers. Longitudinal guidance of "unprofessional" students is achieved by "forward feeding" of students' learning goals.
Summary of results: The total number of students in our institution is about 2500. In the last five academic years the number of unsatisfactory judgments on PB rose
from 12 (2008/2009), 38 (2009/2010), 38 (2010/2011),
83 (2011/2012) to more than 100 (expected for
Conclusions: The awareness and knowledge of students and teachers about PB has improved and unprofessional behaviour is increasingly being reported. Creating an educational theme of PB helped in communicating the importance of good professional behaviour and of reporting unprofessional behaviour to the teachers, as was reflected in the increase in the number of unsatisfactory judgements reported. Take-home messages: Formative assessments are important moments for giving feedback to the students on their professional behaviour. Summative assessments can be used to filter students with unprofessional behaviour.
Components of the Conscientiousness Index and Peer Estimates of Professionalism in undergraduate medical students
Andrew Chaytor (Durham University, School of Medicine, Pharmacy & Health, Queens Campus, University Boulevard, Holliday Building C141, Stockton-on-Tees TS17 6BH, United Kingdom) Marina Sawdon (Durham University, School of Medicine, Pharmacy & Health, Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom) Gabriella Finn (Durham University, School of Medicine, Pharmacy & Health, Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom)
Background: Negative behaviour in medical students is associated with post-graduate disciplinary action. It would therefore be useful to have a model whereby unprofessional behaviour at undergraduate level can be easily identified.
Summary of work: We have previously developed a scalar measure of conscientiousness, the Conscientiousness Index (CI), which positively correlates to estimates of professional behaviour in undergraduate medical students. We have examined which of the 16-20 components that comprise the CI have the greatest level of correlation with peer estimates of professional behaviour.
Summary of results: Initial evaluation of data suggests that the component with the greatest level of correlation to peer estimates of professional behaviour is whether students have completed course evaluation feedback tasks. This is despite this activity being a relatively small component in terms of CI points awarded.
Conclusions: Completion of course evaluation tasks is a good predictor of peer estimates of professional behaviour.
Take-home messages: When constructing and implementing a scalar of conscientiousness as a proxy measure of professional behaviour in undergraduate medical students the inclusion of course evaluation
tasks is a key component despite comprising only a small proportion of available CI points.

A study to explore the effectiveness of different leadership learning opportunities
Lindsay Hadley (KSS Deanery, School of Leadership, 7 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 2DD, United Kingdom) David Black (KSS Deanery, Dean, London, United Kingdom)
Background: Because of its importance in improving and maintaining high standards of patient care, leadership is part of the curriculum for postgraduate doctors in all specialties. This study demonstrates that doctors in training are more likely to report learning in all the domains of the Medical Leadership Competency Framework(MLCF) if they have carried out a project over time or held a leadership role.
Summary of work: The Deanery has made one annual documented formative leadership assessment mandatory for trainees and their supervisors who were encouraged to use the LEADER tool which supports discussion about each of the domains of the MLCF. Trainees were surveyed about their experience of this assessment, their leadership learning opportunities, and asked to map their leadership learning to these domains.
Summary of results: 212 trainees completed the survey. Trainees that reported learning in all domains of MLCF were more likely to have reflected on a number of different experiences as part of implementing a change project or to have held a leadership role such as trainee representative. Where the learning opportunity was a single experience, trainees were more likely to have covered only one or two of the domains. Conclusions: Undertaking a project to implement a change over time or taking on a leadership role is more likely to enable trainees to develop their leadership skills in all domains of the MLCF during the course of the year. Take-home messages: Sustained projects and leadership roles are good opportunities to increase the breadth of leadership skills learning for doctors in training.
Leadership behaviors in clinical practice in relation to job-satisfaction of residents

J Cohen-Schotanus (University Medical Center
Groningen, Center for Research and Innovation in
Medical Education, Groningen, Netherlands)
Background: Job satisfaction is related to job performance, patient safety and stress -a common problem among residents. Therefore, it is important for residents to be satisfied with their job. Research outside of medical education shows that leadership behaviors contribute to job-satisfaction. In transactional leadership theories, task and relation leadership behaviors are distinguished. In this study we investigated whether task-oriented and relation-oriented leadership in clinical practice relate to residents' job-satisfaction. Summary of work: Recently appointed residents (N=165) were invited to fill out a questionnaire. Task-oriented and relation-oriented leadership of clinical supervisors were each measured on 2 behavioral aspects (4-point scale,1=never,4=often). Job-satisfaction was measured on 14 aspects, categorized in three domains of work: the cognitive, affective and instrumental (10-point scale,1=not satisfied,10=completely satisfied) (Ostroff,1993). Summary of results: Respondents were 117 residents (71%). Task-oriented leadership correlated significantly with appreciation for management (r=.22) and appreciation for administrative tasks (r=.17). Relation-oriented leadership correlated significantly with satisfaction with professional accomplishments (r=.20), appreciation of (r=.22) and collaboration with colleagues (r=.12), appreciation for management (r=.26) and appreciation of patients (r=.26). Conclusions: Task-oriented leadership related to less aspects of job-satisfaction than relation-oriented leadership. According to theory, task-oriented leadership enhances residents' learning. However relation-oriented leadership seems to be at least as important for residents because of its larger influence on job-satisfaction.
Take-home messages: Clinical supervisors should be aware of the influence of their leadership behaviors on several aspects of job-satisfaction of residents.
What makes a practice leader good?
Adam Tibor Schlegl (University of Pecs Medical School, Department of Behavioural Sciences, Kontrassy utca 8, Kaposvar 7400, Hungary)
Adam Feldmann (University of Pecs Medical School, Department of Behavioural Sciences, Pecs) Zsuzsanna Fuzesi (University of Pecs Medical School, Department of Behavioural Sciences, Pecs)
Background: As our previous studies have shown, the quality of the practical education is the most important factor influencing student satisfaction. Therefore, development in this field can efficiently increase the prestige and marketability of the faculty. The goal of our study was to explore the connection between the personality of the practice leader and the judgement of the subject and to define the factors, which determine the judgement of the practice leaders. Summary of work: 16581 anonymous questionnaires have been processed. Explorative and confirmative factor analysis has been used to validate the inventory.
Forward stepwise automatic linear modelling was used to explore the underlying connections between the items.
Summary of results: Our developed questionnaire can define the judgement of practice leaders with 94,6% validity and in four components. Satisfying, 65-80% accurate linear models were made, which have determined, that the personality of practice leader is only the sixth most important factor in the judgement of his/her subject. In the judgement of the practices, the personality of practice leader is the second most important, right after the usefulness of the practice. External factors do not influence the judgement of practice leader, each of the ten important influencing factors are connected to his/her personality. Conclusions: Although the practice is the most important in the judgement of the subject, but its usefulness is more important, than the personality of practice leader. External factors do not influence the judgement of practice leaders, but different factors depend on the year and the nationality. Take-home messages: The secret of the good practice is the usefulness.
A unique evaluation approach to examine and enhance effectiveness of a Leadership and Management Training Programme (LaMP) for Medical Specialty Trainees in NHS Scotland
Linda Halley (NHS Education for Scotland, Educational Research & Medical Directorate, Westport 102, West Port, Edinburgh EH3 9DN, United Kingdom)
Background: To provide high-quality service to patients, Doctors need to possess leadership and management competences. NHS Education for Scotland and the TDSU* deliver a national Leadership and Management Training Programme (LaMP) which aims to support medical professionals to become effective leaders/managers through the acquisition of generic competencies, that map to the Medical Leadership Framework.
Summary of work: New educational research is examining the effectiveness and impact of LaMP training through an integrated evaluation approach combining the use of an enhanced version of the Kirkpatrick Model (Levels 1-3) with a Theory of Change approach i.e. Logic Modelling. Employing mixed methods, the evaluation aims to assess clinicians' satisfaction with courses and knowledge, attitudes and behaviours related to leadership and management using a comprehensive self-report pre/post-course questionnaire (L 1-3). A test of knowledge examines learning acquired of course taught content (L 2). Changes in clinicians' behaviour/practice are examined using detailed training impact surveys, semi-structured qualitative interviews and an analysis of workplace multi-source feedback data (L 2 & 3). Qualitative data is thematically analysed. Access, Excel and SPSS are used to analyse quantitative data.
Summary of results: The on-going evaluation has captured some positive results endorsing the quality and delivery of LaMP. The Programme Logic Model and results from the tests of knowledge will be presented as well as the impact of the programme upon clinicians. Self-reported and workplace assessment data will be triangulated.
Conclusions: Leadership and Management training may have the potential to exert a positive impact upon Doctors. Improving quality of training could strengthen its impact and this can be more reliably assessed utilising integrated evaluation approaches. Take-home messages: Implications and learning from the programme and evaluation are informing the wider national and international agenda of health service quality improvement and better patient care.
Developing leadership in rural healthcare education
Judi Walker (Monash University, School of Rural Health, Wellington Road, Clayton 3800, Australia) Jennene Greenhill (Flinders University, Rural Clinical School, Adelaide, Australia)
Background: Rural healthcare educational leadership and succession planning have been identified as areas of need across the world. The Federation of Rural Australian Medical Educators (FRAME), the peak body representing 17 Rural and Regional Clinical Schools (RCS) has developed an innovative course for potential leaders.
Summary of work: Australian RCS have been outstandingly successful in establishing training infrastructure evidenced by emerging numbers of medical graduates trained in and for rural practice. While the development of clinical leadership skills and roles is increasingly recognised as a prerequisite for improvements in the quality of care, there is little evidence of successful succession planning to advance healthcare educational leadership in rural settings. Summary of results: An Australian course to develop health educators' leadership skills has evolved over the past three years. In 2013 it will be delivered by RCS faculty for colleagues. Evaluation results will be presented and discussed. The four day program has been designed as an intensive, experiential and active approach to learning with activities built around 4 central themes: Leadership concepts and challenges in rural healthcare education; Understanding self as a leader; Leading teams and managing difficult and complex situations; Setting direction and RCS succession planning.
Conclusions: Succession planning is an essential part of educational strategy. Developing rural healthcare education leadership is complex and takes time. Service and training issues are inextricably linked and capacity-building around both must be continuous to ensure sustainability.
Take-home messages: Invest in leadership training as an essential pre-requisite for workforce sustainability.
Exploring a health professions students' perceptions toward leadership and facilitation: a case from Japan

Masayuki Niwa (Gifu University, Medical Education
Development Center, Gifu, Japan)
Yasuyuki Suzuki (Gifu University, Medical Education
Development Center, Gifu, Japan)
Background: Effective human relationship among health professions is vital in multidisciplinary teamworking. Although there is a wealth of literature on team working and leadership from western countries, more studies in undergraduate settings are needed in Japan since how a team works is usually based on cultural context. We aim at exploring health professions students' perceptions towards teamwork, leadership and facilitation. Summary of work: A two day-case based seminar with small group discussions was delivered for 26 health professions students from 5 different professions. Focus group was conducted to investigate perceptions toward multidisciplinary team working, leadership and facilitators. The transcriptions were analyzed with thematic analysis.
Summary of results: The seminar provided participants with deep understanding of the role as well as competence of their own or other health professionals, which was hard to understand within their own schools. Their image of other health professions was already transformed. Medical students took it for granted to take initiatives while other students did not because of their incompetence as professionals or prejudice against other professionals.
Conclusions: Although previous literature demonstrated that interprofessional teams need skilled leadership and members who respect and value each other, health professions students have already transformed their stereotyped perceptions of other health professions from early stages of the school. Nevertheless, positive cognitive change was also indicated. Japanese health professions students' perceptions of leadership/facilitator were demonstrated, which may be useful for quality improvement of the seminar. Take-home messages: Stereotyped perceptions and clinical experiences must be well balanced when designing multidisciplinary education.

The art of observation: visual analysis training for medical students
Carol Capello (Weill Cornell Medical College, Academic Affairs, 1300 York Avenue, Room C-205, Box 243, New
York 10065, United States)
Rachel Dubroff (Weill Cornell Medical College, Medicine, New York, United States)
Background: Although visual skills are inarguably crucial for competent clinicians and although many institutions have initiated programs using visual arts to develop observational skills, enhance creativity, and introduce cultural models of illness and healing, little evidence reflects these goals are being met. Summary of work: Clinical observation extends beyond what one sees to how one processes and integrates that information. We developed a novel, elective, visual-arts-based series of courses to enhance students' visual observation skills and help them explore the role of perception, biases, emotion, and communication in the observational process. Small groups of first- and second-year students spend 5-15 two-hour sessions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with an art educator. Through inquiry-based discussion and writing and sketching exercises, they explore the formal elements of myriad artworks and participate in activities to pique understanding of biases, emotion, and communication in the visual process.
Summary of results: Assessment plans include pre- and post-course visual observation using both art and medical images, as well as longitudinal tracking of performance in visually-associated courses (e.g., radiology, histology). We are currently exploring other methods to quantitatively assess impact on clinical thought processes and practice. Conclusions: Strengths include helping students learn skills not traditionally addressed in medical education. Limitations include whether acquired skills are applicable in clinical settings and whether the general student population will be open to this novel approach. Take-home messages: The visual arts offer a rich resource to enhance observational and other clinical competencies. Further study is necessary to demonstrate its efficacy.

Testament The Very Best Of Testament
Published Dec 01, 2001Hear me now! Any past, present or future fan of Testament should know that compiling a "Best Of..." for these Bay Area reprobates is simple: their first three albums. Case closed. However, it seems that the band did release an album or two after Practice What You Preach and guitarist Eric Peterson is trying really hard to convince himself that anyone gives a shit. Although I guess it was a huge step for the self-congratulatory Peterson, who appears to be the only member of the band to actually have any part in this, to admit that Souls Of Black was utterly awful, because he actually ignores that excrement-based platter altogether. Let's face it, "Best Of..." albums are either teasers for casual and/or potential fans, contractual obligations or cash grabs. Whatever the motivation here, it failed, as there's far too much focus on Testament's wayward years and not enough attention paid to when they were at their best and actually breaking ground on the '80s thrash scene. Just go buy The Legacy, The New Order and Practice... and end all debate. (Rhino)

You don't need me to tell you how good Evgeni Malkin is at hockey. I'm still flabbergasted that he wasn't one of the players in the NHL 100 because he's clearly one of the best 100 players ever. Certainly better than Toews or Keith. I also wanted to use the word flabbergasted in a sentence. Oh, yeah, so about that Malkin fella. He scored his 12th career hat trick on Tuesday night as the Penguins kept rolling against the Sharks. Malkin is well over a point per game, gives great penalty minutes, and the shot rate remains over three points per game. As I always say about Malkin, just stay healthy! As noted here, the playoff schedule is rough for the Pens, but Malkin should definitely help you get to that point. Let's take a look at what else happened on Tuesday night:
Adam Henrique – Two goals. The minutes are down with Kesler back; Henrique didn't even play 15 minutes in this one. He's a decent streamer but can't count on more than that at the moment.
Cam Fowler – Two assists with a shot. He hasn't been that good but the minutes are there if you want to bank on a bounce back.
Rickard Rakell – Two assists with two shots. Very solid season for Rakell and he's pushing lately with 10 points in his past 9.
John Gibson – 25 saves on 25 shots before leaving the game with 7:25 left. Ugh, Gibson just can't stay on the ice right now. At this point, you know the drill with Ryan Miller.
Kyle Palmieri – Goal and an assist with four shots. He's been pretty unlucky to this point in the year so I'm expecting Palmieri to get back to his normal levels. If he was available in anything deeper than a 12'er, I'd definitely grab him, and would strongly consider him in a 12'er as well.
Keith Kinkaid – 27 saves on 28 shots in the 3-1 win over the Sabres. Doesn't sound like it'll be much longer for Cory Schneider to return. I only trust Kinkaid in the best of matchups.
Sebastian Aho (F) – Goal on three shots in his return. Get him back in your lineup immediately.
Cam Ward – 29 saves on 30 shots in the 2-1 win over Ottawa. Faith, I have none in Ward. This was a prime matchup and those are the only type I'd consider using Ward for.
Harri Sateri – 32 saves on 33 shots in the 4-1 win over the Islanders. First career win for the 28 year old Finnish netminder. It's his show now with the Florida injuries but given how his previous starts went, I wouldn't use Sateri outside of desperation.
Vincent Trocheck – Two assists with two shots. No doubt about it top 50 now. Trocheck is crushing everything but plus-minus.
Bryan Rust – Two goals and an assist. Rust is a bottom end streamer until he moves up in the lineup. It was encouraging that he was out there with a minute left with Malkin and Sid but he spent most of the game in the bottom six.
Matt Murray – 40 saves on 42 shots in the 5-2 win over the Sharks. Nice to see Murray back in the lineup after the passing of his father. Get him activated right away and if you own Tristan Jarry or Casey DeSmith, feel free to cut bait.
Artemi Panarin – Goal and an assist with four shots. Panarin's first season in Columbus has been fairly yawnstipating. The overall numbers are fine but aren't anything special. To be fair, the injuries to the rest of the CBJ lineup, specifically at center, has hurt him.
Sergei Bobrovsky – 41 saves on 43 shots in the 3-2 SO loss to the Wild. Like his counterpart Devan Dubnyk, I believe Bob will get back to being in the top tier of goalies for the closing stretch here. Columbus has come back to the pack which should mean Torts leaning on Bob.
Carter Hutton – 33 saves on 34 shots in the 3-1 win over the Canadiens. I love it when I'm right and at this point, I will pat myself on the back for pumping Hutton's tires for a few weeks. It's clearly his job right now and while it doesn't seem sustainable in the long run, you have to ride with it until he cools off. Who knows, that might not happen until the playoffs or next season.
Vinnie Hinostroza – Goal and an assist with three shots. He took some shifts on Kane's line as the game progressed, which is where he scored his goal. Monitor the situation because Hinostroza's fantasy value comes directly from who he's playing with.
Anton Forsberg – 42 saves on 43 shots in the 2-1 win over the Predators. Forsberg survived the onslaught to get a massive win for the Blackhawks. I still put Forsberg in the desperation tier as it's hard to have any faith in him.
Blake Wheeler – Two assists with two shots. All he does is put up points. That's it. Like, it's not a big deal. Just kidding, it's kind of a big deal. People know him.
Michael Hutchinson – 23 saves on 24 shots in the 3-1 win over Tampa. Three years ago, Hutchinson surprised everyone winning 21 of 36 starts for the Jets backing up Pavelec. The save percentage dropped every season from that .914 to last season's .903. It's a damn good team in front of him, so he's not the worst streamer when he does start, but those starts will be few and far between unless Steve Mason misses extended time with his concussion.
Darcy Kuemper – 28 save shutout in the 3-0 win over the Stars. Kuemper has been outstanding this season, to the point where I feel comfortable streaming him every time he starts.
Anze Kopitar – Two assists with four shots. Seven game assist streak for Kopitar as he continues to crush despite always going against the opposition's top line.
William Karlsson – Two assists with three shots. Vegas looked like they were going to lose as they were down a goal with 2 minutes left, them boom, two goals in ten seconds plus an empty netter to win it in Calgary. Wild Bill is a monster, there's no way around it.
Reilly Smith – Goal and an assist with four shots. Clear must own everywhere at this point. Can you believe Florida let him go?
Jonathan Marchessault – Goal and an assist with three shots. I still can't believe that the Corsi God didn't make the All-Star game. Also, can you believe that Florida gave Vegas Marchessault so they would take Smith!? Craziness. Good job Dale Tallon.
Gabriel Landeskog – Two goals on five shots. The Kog is finally to the level we expected him to be following his massive season in 2013-14. It's also crazy that he's still only 25 years old. Plenty of good times ahead. The penalty minutes have dropped considerably but it's still been excellent across the board.
Mikko Rantanen – Two assists with two shots. Rantanen has surely been overlooked by the masses with all of the other young players breaking out, notably his linemate. It's time to give the 21 year old his due as Rantanen is still at a point per game as we enter February.
Chris Tanev – Three assists with two PIM. If you had Tanev scoring the most points of this 12 game slate, go play the lottery! Just kidding, you wasted all of that luck on this call. Twelve games and not one topped 7 goals, most of them incredibly low scoring? Guess teams were sluggish out of the break. If you bet the Grand Salami, hope you took the under. Anyways, Tanev is a solid player in real life but his fantasy value is near nil.
That's all for now guys. With only three games tonight, I'll be back on Friday with my next set of daily notes. For your streaming needs, please check out LDOM's post here. As always, feel free to ask any questions, leave any comments, or make any suggestions below. Thanks for reading, take care!

We're off on another week's worth of trading in the bitcoin price and we're having to shuffle our key levels around before we get started. Things have been pretty volatile over the weekend and this gives us a couple of options. We can widen out our range and limit our entries to the breaks, or we can narrow things up and try to jump in and out on the choppy action. The latter is a little more aggressive but it probably makes a little more sense to go at things with a bit more conservatism today; at least, that is, while the market finds its post-weekend groove.
If things become a little steadier during the day, we might narrow things in a little. As things stand, however, we're going to maintain a risk-off sentiment and keep things nice and wide.
So, with all this noted, here's a look at what we're watching during the session open and where we're going to try and get in and out of the markets according to the rules of our intraday strategy.
As ever, take a quick look at the chart below before we get started for the day. It's a one-minute candlestick chart and it's got our key range overlaid in blue.
As the chart shows, the range we are going at today comes in at support to the downside at 2506 and resistance to the upside at 2544. As we said, it's pretty wide, but we're only on the lookout for breaks right now – intrarange is temporarily shelved.
If we see price break through resistance to the upside, we're going to try and get in long towards an immediate upside target of 2570. Looking the other way, a close below support will have us in short towards a downside target of 2470.
Happy trading!

When decluttering – how do you know where to start? From my experience in the work I do with my clients I know where to start in helping them to declutter and get organised. The reason being is that I have been doing this for many years and with asking questions and looking around their houses or offices usually one or two places in particular stand out. Naturally it is still the clients decision but usually they are happy to go with my recommendations on where to start.
Recently though it got me thinking that it would be good to share this information so others know where they could start if decluttering or getting organised is something they have been trying to do. Often it can be too overwhelming and difficult to know where to begin. Do you feel like this? Well here are questions to ask yourself which hopefully might give you greater clarity and assist you to know where to start.
Questions to ask yourself
- what space annoys you the most? – by this I mean which space is not functioning the way you would like, is it a space you don't really use as it makes you angry or it isn't pleasant to be in or look at? There may well be multiple spaces but usually one will bother you more. One of my clients originally got me in to assist with paperwork however after discussion and a look around the house it was actually the kitchen that was really annoying her the most so that is where we started.
- what is it that you'd like to be able to do but can't? Is there something you would like to be able to do in a particular space but don't have the room or space because of clutter? For one of my clients this was using the spare room as a place to study however in order to do that we had to actually clear the space leading to the desk as well as the clutter on the desk itself before she could regain and use the space for her intended purposes.
- what is the space you look at in the morning that says to you I just need to find time to get you organised? Usually there is a space that keeps coming up time and time again and it is its way of saying to you that it needs help.
- what is the space you look at last thing every night and it just sends you reminders that you need to get it organised? Very similar to the point above though this happens to you at night when you are about to go to bed instead. Maybe it is the same space that you think about morning and night or it could be different?
- what is that one area you regularly go to start but don't as it just becomes too hard? Is there a space in your home that you think right I am going to tackle this today but when it comes around to it you usually find excuses to do something else? Is there a space in your home or office that you'd really like to tackle but just don't know how? Maybe this has been something you have been thinking about but hit a stumbling block each time. My advice here is to start small with a shelf or drawer or small space and gradually build up to larger spaces or areas.
- Do you regularly find yourself saying you will do something later? Peter Walsh, a well known organiser, regularly states that procrastination always leads to clutter. So his one bit of advice would be to replace the word "later" with the word "now". Whenever you're tempted to just throw the dirty dishes in the sink or leave the clothes in the dryer unfolded, catch yourself. Realise that it's the small steps that need to be done to stay on top of the clutter. Or as I regularly say maintenance is the key to being organised.
Continuing on with this theme of getting started – 'the best way to get something done is actually just to start'. You also don't need to feel that you have to achieve it all in one go. One thing you can do is to break what you want to declutter or get organised into small steps and don't let it continue to overwhelm you any more. My advice is to start with one small space ie a junk drawer, one shelf, one small space, and build from there. Click here to find out how to organise a junk drawer in 5 easy steps and get started.
If you are still having trouble working out where to start then think about the highest traffic area in your home ie kitchen, living room, bathroom or laundry maybe and start there.
There really isn't a right or wrong place to start, simply making an effort is a step in the right direction. You'll be surprised at how satisfied you feel the next time you look at this space clutter free.
If you give it a go and it just still isn't working then get in touch – not only can I assist you to get it organised but offer you tips and strategies so that you can maintain the space/s too!

Brand Equity is a qualitative measure of the brand's positive recognition or goodwill in the minds of the consumers considering the brand as an independent entity. Brand Equity is the tangible and intangible worth of a brand. The degree of premium that a brand can charge on its offering is a direct measure of the equity it possesses with its customers. Brand Equity is kind of power that the brand has over its competitors or the generic brands and is developed over time.
Brand equity can be said to be coming from the aggregate worth of the following constituents in the minds of its consumers:
Brand Equity is quite important in the fact that it helps one brand gain importance and additional revenue as when compared with the competitor. Brand Equity is a complex parameter which takes into account a lot of parameters like brand image, brand identity, brand awareness, brand loyalty, brand association etc. It is mainly subjective and qualitative but can be represented quantitatively.
Brand Equity is driven by marketing strategy & efforts over the years and consistency which results in customer perception & brand knowledge which may be positive or negative. Positive perception would result in increase in brand equity. Effectively communicating the product benefits to the customers helps in brand building. Companies spend huge sums of money in advertising using integrated marketing communications (IMC) channels to promotes its goods & services.
Some examples of brand equity are as follows. Consumers pay more for a Garnier beauty product than an Ayur product. A brand can also have negative equity in cases where it does not fit well with its consumers. As an example, Tata Nano users reported some fire incidents with the product which led to its negative equity for a while.
Since brand equity is based on several parameters like brand image, brand identity, customer perception etc, it is primarily a qualitative parameter for a brand or company.
Brand equity is a function of several other qualitative parameters which a customer can associate with a brand. Some of the main components or elements of brand equity are as follows:
1.Brand Image
2.Brand Identity
3.Brand Awareness
4.Brand Loyalty
5.Brand Association
6.Customer Perception
Since brand equity gives a qualitative outlook, it is quite complicated to define it through numbers or a value.
Brand equity is a subjective concept based on customer & market perception. Measuring brand equity can be done by both qualitative research as well as quantitative research. Brand Equity can be measured on the basis of three important parameters which are:
1.Consumer Metrics: This measure of brand equity focuses on evaluating brands & products on the basis of factors like customer perception, attitude, belief, brand association etc.
2.Financial Metrics: Financial factors like revenue, profits, cost of new acquisition, growth, market share etc help in measuring brand equity.
3.Strength Metrics: The strength of the brand in terms of brand recall, brand awareness, brand loyalty etc are used in the measurement of brand equity.
All the above data can be collected by marketers using consumer research where customers can be given surveys or questionnaires to have their feedback. Qualitative feedback can be open-ended and other factors can be given weights which can help in the calculation of overall brand equity. Creating brand equity is a gradual process & takes years of efforts in establishing a particular brand image or perception in the mind of the consumer.

Photo by Raphael Biscaldi (2017) via Unsplash.com, CC0 Public Domain[/caption] On summer days my mind often returns to "Berwick Beach." "Berwick Beach" was the name my mother gave to the yard behind our apartment building during the summertime. She would blow up a kiddie pool, fill it with water from the garden hose, and let my sister and me pretend to swim for hours. We could not afford to take a trip to an actual beach. In fact, we could not even afford a season pass to the local swimming pool. So our aquatic adventures began and ended at Berwick Beach. And we absolutely loved it! Another summertime tradition was Breakfast at Wimbledon. As you might have guessed, we could hardly afford a flight to the British Isles. So our Wimbledon consisted of badminton games with our mother and an outdoor breakfast of strawberries. And again, we were overjoyed. These sun-drenched memories have gotten me to thinking that a good life can be defined by simple pleasures. Biting into a ripe strawberry … playing backyard games … tending to a small garden — these little things can bring great joy, if we give ourselves permission to savor the moment. Now, I realize that the chances of today's ten-year-olds being fascinated with a '70s game of Pong are unlikely. And I am not willing to turn my back on technology — I believe it can be a force for great good. But I often wonder whether elaborate birthday parties, expensive vacations, and non-stop competitive sports activities bring about the kind of happiness we all desire. By spending less, rushing less, and simplifying our summers, we may attain the kind of joy that has eluded us since we were tykes. I have found the same principle holds true for the spiritual life. I used to think the express route to holiness was reading as many prayers as I could find in the back of my missal. I have since discovered that, while written prayers can be quite helpful, an earnest cry of "Help!" to God may be just what I need during a stressful hour of my day. Recently, I have begun to do a morning offering, offering all the prayers, actions, and sacrifices of the day to God through the hands of my faithful mother Mary. This prayer makes me more thoughtful throughout the day, and more cognizant of whether my actions are leading me toward or away from God in the present moment. So I invite you to take a step back during these precious warm days and think about how you can simplify your summer. You may just rediscover the beauty and goodness of the world right outside your back door.

Adelaida Ruiz Cruises to Victory in Pico Rivera and other results
By Lauren Rodriguez
PICO RIVERA, Ca.- It was a festive night in the Pico Rivera Sports Arena, Micheladas and plain old beer were flowing, people were dancing and Pico Rivera's very own pride and joy were in attendance.
Many of the crowd arrived to see the battle for the women's GBO super flyweight continental championship title, between Adelaida "La Cobra" Ruiz (8-0) and Myrka Aguayo (2-1). It was an eyeful, making it difficult for onlookers to turn away. It was an intense six round battle.
Ruiz, fighting out of Los Angeles, made it a diffifult fight for Mexico native, Aguayo.
The speedy feet and hands of Ruiz created a tough battle for Aguayo, who appeared to have difficulty getting inside her opponent's body. The 20-year old, Aguayo, a decade younger than Ruiz, often became trapped in Ruiz's strategic positioning.
Aguayo at times seemed scared of La Cobra, who repeatedly and viciously attacked, throwing a flurry of advances on the face and body.
The fearsome attack by Ruiz made Aguayo hesitant throughout most of the fight, often lacking confidence in her punches, while the majority of her attempted shots were instantly shut down by the vicious Cobra.
Ruiz, a full time working mother of three, showed no sign of tiring as she aggresively worked on every weakness of her opponent.
The final score was a unanimous decision of 60-54 for Ruiz who was the crowd favorite in Pico Rivera. Many boxing publications consider Ruiz one of the most dangerous female fighters in the world let alone Los Angeles.
Angel "El Moreno" Rodriguez (3-0) was co-headlining the fight card against James Stewart (1-4) of Pomona, CA. The Road 2 Glory event, presented by Red Boxing Promotions, Del Sports and MR Productions entailed a full bout sheet, consisting of 10 fights.
The battle between the two lightweights, Rodriguez and Stewart was a close one for the heavy hitters who fought toe-to-toe. The headlining match had every audience member standing, as viewers tried to get a closer look at the warriors duking it out.
The first round appeared as a win for Rodriguez who quickly had Stewart against the ropes as he doubled down on his punches. Stewart often used his lengthy arms to his advantage, throwing overhand hits to a strategic Rodriguez.
From beginning to end, viewers were kept on their toes by the action packed fight, as both warriors used every second to strategize and counter each others blows with blows of their own.
As the round closed, Rodriguez appeared to be weakening, at times failing to get a solid hit against an endurant Stewart.
The fight ended after 4 rounds and was scored; 40-36 for Rodriguez, 28-28 Draw and 39-37, naming Rodriguez as the final winner by majority decision.
Other bouts
The super featherweight fight between Adan "Temo" Ochoa (9-1), who defended his GBO World Youth Championship title for the second time, against Roger Gutierrez (8-4-2) consisted of six 3-minute rounds.
Ochoa, fighting out of Compton, CA utilized his footwork and ability to get inside of his opponents body. Although Gutierrez kept Ochoa at a distance, by the third round it was apaprent that Gutierrez was a bit off balance.
Gutierrez made impactful hits left and right but it was Ochoa who had the upperhand as he dribbled the face of Gutierrez in the 4th round.
The two gave the audience a show as they kept up energies until the final round. Ochoa, working on his opponent's body while Gutierrez shot a heavy left and right hook to Ochoa's face in the last seconds.
The close fight ended in scores; 59-55 for Gutierrez, 58-56 Ochoa and 59-55, with Ochoa maintaining his title as super featherweight GBO World Youth Champion by split decision.
The fight between Anthony Casillas (8-1) of Southgate, CA and Ivan Varela (3-2-0) of Lindsay, CA was a powerful brawl throughout the entirity of the scheduled four rounds. The two fighters held nothing back as they remained toe-to-toe, at times brawling. The fight ended in a unanimous decision of 39-37, Casillas as the winner.
By the second round, Varela was quick, positioning Casillas against the rings corner and dodging hits from Casillas. By the 4th and final round, Casillas was ducking nearly to the floor, keeping the fight close as neither opponent showed any sign of slowing.
The fight was scored a unanimous decision of 39-37, Casillas as winner.
A fight between super featherweights Eric Mondragon (2-0) of Maywood, CA and Eduardo Sanchez (1-2) of Corcoran, CA, ended in a unanimous decision of 40-36, Mondragon as winner. Within the first seconds of the first round, Mondragon forced Sanchez into the corner . It was apparent throughout that Sanchez struggled to get inside, while Mondragon kept pushing forward with power and intensity.
Another super featherweight fight between Pablo "Bam Bam" Melgar (2-0-1) of Los Angeles, CA and Lucnor Discerne (3-1-1) of Port Au Prince, Haiti end in a draw.
The close fight had Melgar fans cheering all around the arena. In the second round, Lucnor dodged a right overhand by Melger before Melger was knocked to the ground. Melger rose quickly and the fight remained close until the end.
A female super flyweight fight between Lorraine Villalobos (3-2) of Whittier, CA and Daniella Saldanha (2-3) Fort Collins, CO ended in knock out at 1:00 of round four, Villalobos was the winner.
Throughout the fight, it was clear the power of Villalobos' punches would be no match for Saldanha. Although Saldanha, fighting out of Colorado, was quicker, Villalobos kept a distance, working on her body, playing a game of boxing chess.
The knockout was the first for Villalobos.
A welterweights fight saw Austin "Misreal" Gudino (3-0-0) of West Covina, CA and Derrick Batlemay(1-9-2) of Eugene Oregeon ended at 1:29 of the 3rd round, naming Austin "Misreal" Gudino as winner. From beginning to end, Gudinos punches could be heard throughout the outdoor arena. Bartlemay seemed hesitant as he often stumbled and remained no match for Gudino.
The fight between welterweights, Eduardo Diaz (2-0-0) of Inglewood, CA and Juan Yanez Barrera (0-1) of San jose, CA was filled with energy from beginning to end. The fighters left few seconds to spare, as they filled every moment with counters and often became caught in an entanglement. The fighters brawled throughout, countering left and right, working on each others body when not hitting face. By the fourth round, Barrerra began missing shots as Diaz's energy remained more consistent. The score card read a unanimous decision of 40-36, Diaz as the winner.

Greinke struggles, Lester shines as Cubs beat Dodgers
MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Zack Greinke gave up two runs in his spring debut for the Dodgers, being outpitched by Jon Lester in Los Angeles' 4-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.
Greinke had been given a lubricating injection in his right elbow on Feb. 18. He allowed two hits and two walks in two innings.
"My stuff was just a little off — OK for the first start," Greinke said. "I missed a lot by just an inch or so off the plate."
But he said his elbow feels fine and should be ready for his next start in five days.
Lester pitched three-hit ball for three shutout innings. He struck out two in the Cubs first win of the spring.
"Strike one is easier said than done," Lester said. "It's something I've battled with a long time. It's something I always try to hammer home to myself.
"Strike one changes the whole dynamic of the game, not just that one hitter," he said
Mike Baxter singled home two runs off Greinke in the second. The Cubs added a run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Chris Coghlan.
Justin Turner had a two-run double for the Dodgers.
Cubs: Reliever Tsuyoshi Wada, who has battled through a couple of minor leg issues and has thrown just one inning, appears to be OK and ready to pitch, manager Joe Maddon said.
Dodgers: Yasiel Puig is fine after crashing into the padded right-center field wall while making a spectacular catch, manager Don Mattingly said.
The Cubs entered Wednesday's game 0-6-1. What has irked Maddon more than the record is the way they are playing, making all sorts of mistakes, including mental errors. In Tuesday's 10-6 loss at Cleveland, they committed four errors and let a harmless fly ball drop in. So Maddon made a plea for fundamentals on Wednesday morning. He had his outfielders work on relay throws, a drill that went so flawlessly that Maddon said he lost a $200 wager on it.
But after a week of Cactus League games, Maddon's impression is that, "We're not good at the fundamentals in the game. Too many mental mistakes. Physical mistakes are fine. Mental mistakes will kill you. Physical mistakes are part of this game. Mental mistakes have no part of this game.
"For me to change the culture here, they have to understand when you show up at the ballpark every day, it's not about survival, it's about winning," he said.
Turner went 2 for 4, prompting praise from Mattingly. Everything is on the nose,"
Mattingly said. "You can't really be swinging the bat better than he's swinging it right now."
Turner hit .340 as a utility player in 108 games, with a .404 on-base percentage. "He didn't go to sleep this winter, either," Mattingly said. "He was one of our hardest workers in the winter.
Dodgers: Hyun-Jin Ryu will start at San Diego on Thursday at Peoria.
Cubs: Jason Hammel is set to start against the Los Angeles Angels in Tempe. The Cubs-Angels game will be one of five in which actor Will Ferrell will be playing Thursday. Ferrell will play every position on the field for 10 teams as part of an HBO special dedicated to fighting cancer.
"It will probably take him a couple of months to recover from that one," Lester said. "It's for a good cause. So it should be cool to see."

Sokratis calls on Arsenal to win Europa League for absent Mkhitaryan
The absence of Henrikh Mkhitaryan should drive Arsenal on to win the Europa League, according to Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
The Gunners secured their passage to the decider against Chelsea with a commanding 7-3 aggregate victory in the semis over Valencia.
They will take on their London rivals in Baku on May 29, in a match that has been sadly overshadowed by non-footballing matters.
Editors' Picks

- 'Messi was impossible but Ronaldo was close' - The truth about Arsenal's near-misses in the transfer market
- Why Man Utd won't be signing Tottenham-bound Madrid duo Bale and Reguilon
- Aubameyang signed da ting! Arsenal ace can now become a club legend like Henry & Wright
Armenia international Mkhitaryan has opted not to travel to Azerbaijan due to fears over his safety, in the context of ongoing political conflict between the two nations over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Sokratis is aware of how much Arsenal will miss the former Manchester United playmaker, but insisted that he and his team-mates are obliged to deliver the trophy for their absent star.
"Of course it's a big loss for us. We are very sad and now we have to win for him," the defender admitted.
"We have to go (there) and play our game. To believe we can do it and I think if we give 100 per cent and have a good day, and also luck, because in one game anything can happen (then) we can do it."
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has an enviable track record in the Europa League, having lifted the title in three consecutive seasons while at Sevilla.
Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea, however, battled their way to third place in the Premier League while a disastrous run of form at the end of the season saw the Gunners miss out on the top four and qualification for the Champions League.
Now only victory on Wednesday will seal a place at Europe's top table next season; a challenge that Sokratis believes his team can achieve.
"[Chelsea] have very good players and a good manager," he added.
"We respect (them) but after we plan to play our game. To play our game, to create our chances, to be focused, to defend well.
"To play altogether and in the end to win the game - it's difficult for us, but it's also difficult for them."

In 1970s Tehran, the classically-trained Ramesh played the serious, quiet marquess against Googoosh's langorous pop princess. Both singers made the papers every time they changed their haircuts & appeared on tv frequently. Ramesh was a funky queen whose rich voice sits like a fat mink coat, twirling it's melancholy way around long-necked lutes, backed by flurries of frame & goblet drums. And the sleazy, Western brass, strings & synths are here too, slathered across rare singles for your shameless dancing pleasure. Welcome to the unpredictable world of pre-revolutionary Iranian pop music.
