Caring for our frontline child protection workforce
Caring for our frontline child protection workforce
Kerry Lewig and Sara McLean
Key messages
Occupational health literature is increasingly informed by the positive psychology movement.
Rather than focusing on deficits, positive psychology focuses on building personal attributes such as hope, optimism and efficacy.
Three emerging concepts offer guidance for building personal attributes and wellbeing: "work engagement" (i.e., an emotional state of being dedicated to, absorbed in and energised by one's work); "positive organisational behaviour" (i.e., the positive personal attributes that a person brings to their work); and "psychosocial safety climate" (i.e., employee perceptions of the priority given to psychological health and safety within their organisation).
The evidence linking these concepts to workforce wellbeing is promising, suggesting the benefit of strengthening the role of positive psychology in the child protection workforce.
This paper identifies some of the promising strategies for improving psychological wellbeing in the workplace.
Frontline child protection work is highly stressful, emotionally taxing and, at times, can result in secondary trauma. Additionally, statutory child protection organisations consistently experience high turnover and staff shortages, creating adverse workplace cultures and extra stress for their workforce. Consequently, there is a growing recognition of the need to develop organisational strategies to foster the wellbeing of the frontline child protection workforce. The aim of this paper is to offer some guidance to the management of child protection and related services by drawing on occupational health literature.

Orders over $100 receive 15% off!
==> Every beautiful, hand-blown honey jar & dipper comes with 16oz of Wild Texas Honey!
This custom honey jar and dipper is the brainchild of Bee'Czar extraordinaire, Walter Schumacher, and Austin, Texas glass artist, Michael Howe. Each jar is truly one-of-a-kind and holds a little over 16 oz of raw, wild, rescue honey (16oz of raw honey included in your purchase!).
The honey dipper is hollow like a straw, allowing you to place a finger over the top and "fill the dipper" with honey before pulling it out of the jar.
You can literally help save the bees when you purchase this hand-blown glass jar & dipper from Epic Honey. Profits from this item go to support the safe rescue, relocation, and rehabilitation of honey bees through our partnership with the American Honey Bee Protection Agency.
And you'll love our honey! Like wine cultivated from grapes grown in different regions, honey connoisseurs know that there is a wide range of wild honey flavors – and they don't taste anything like that super-sweet concoction you purchase in the plastic bear from the grocery store.
Truly wild honey takes on the flavor profile of whatever the bees have foraged on. This jar comes with 16oz of all-natural forage Texas honey.
Our honey is 100% raw, never cooked, and never adulterated (we don't add anything to it). We solar sit our honey with the wax, propolis, and other local pollens, giving each batch of Epic Honey added medicinal value. You get it just the way the bees made it—delicious.
Like a fine wine, your first taste should direct you to what the bees foraged on, and then, in the back of your throat, detect the sweetness.
This is a limited reserve honey and jar, meaning we didn't push our bees to overproduce, nor did we blend this with some "other" bulk honey (like many other honey companies). This honey came straight out of a Texas beehive and into the hand-blown glass jar.
Since we take such care in our process, we are only able to produce small runs of each honey jar & dipper. Once this honey and jar are gone, it could be a while before we have more. This honey will have a slightly different flavor profile every season and every time we pull it from the hive. But every time, you can bet—it'll be delicious. Each custom jar is slightly different in nature and truly one-of-a-kind.
At Epic Honey, we make sure our honey is chemical free and all-natural. We maintain the integrity of our hives by assuring nearby farmers do not spray pesticides, so our bee colonies are never in danger.
We really like bees. That's why we practice "bee approved" beekeeping and bee wrangling, then donate the profits from this honey to a powerful, no-kill bee rescue operation.
Profits from this honey jar are donated to the American Honey Bee Protection Agency to support the safe rescue, relocation, and rehabilitation of wild honey bees. Every $10 you spend with Epic Honey Co. saves around 2,500 bees. This one purchase helps us rescue ~100,000 bees!
Together, we can save the bees! Thank you! We need our pollinator friends.
Shipping & insurance fees are based on package weight. Our limited reserve honey with custom jar and dipper is heavy and well-packed to avoid it breaking, which adds some extra weight to the overall package. Your shipping fee guarantees delivery and the integrity of this custom glass jar. If a jar is broken upon receipt, we will send you another replacement jar at no extra charge.
Jars of honey are based on net ounces, not fluid ounces.

Lima, Peru
Two years ago the revolving door of Carnaval, the venue of bartender Aaron Diaz's imagination for eight years, finally opened. He is not only the creative mind behind the trendiest bar in Lima, he is also the prophet of a gospel called "coctelería conceptual". At Carnaval, the team practise this belief: an idea, a memory, a journey or a mistake in the bar becomes a unique cocktail. There is a meticulous sense of detail: cups are handmade by Peruvian artists, there is an ice room (with an ice chef who designs each of the 20 types of ice) and a spirits bible that contains more than 300 references, from Bolivian Sangani to Japanese whisky and yellow Chartreuse. The cocktail menu, Alchemy, draws on Peruvian flavours ranging from signature cocktails such as Sachacool (pisco macerated with lime, mole pepper and sacha culantro) to the most daring inventions such as Central, made in collaboration with chef Virgilio Martínez. Debuting at No.13, Carnaval wins the Highest New Entry Award 2019.

We are knee deep in 2011 football season with about 6 games left of the regular season. NFL.com is consistently getting thousands of visitors a day. Their website is so "SEO Friendly" that they don't even need to be listed on Google, Yahoo or Bing to get traffic. The majority of website owners seek to be on the first page of the major search engines due to the fact that it brings a substantial amount of traffic to their website and huge profits for their company. NFL.com happens to be an exception to the search engine placement rule due to the fact that it's America's sport and has one of the easiest URL's to remember with only three letters.
According to Alexa.com, NFL.com is ranked number 65th in the United States, has 20,276 links pointing to it (inbound links), has been registered since November 12, 1996 and is ranked 302nd globally. Those numbers are impressive! Search engines, especially Google, will give them two thumbs up anytime.
The age of the website plays a huge factor in getting a high page rank (PR); it's a great idea to get links pointing from a website that is above 3 years of age. The older the website the better it is because it shows that a website isn't a fly by night website and that it is here to stay. There are many spam sites that Webmasters create to get a link pointing to their main website, known as a black hat tactic; search engines frown on these tactics and blacklist such sites.
The most important factor in getting valuable real estate in the search engines is to get quality inbound links pointing to your site. Each link pointing to your site is considered a vote amongst the Internet community. Each Webmaster and website owner voting to your website forces the search engines to notice your popularity on the Internet within your respected industry. Getting links pointing to your site takes time and serious effort. The higher the page rank of a website, the more time and effort that will have to take part in order to get that link; it is ideal to reach for a link that has a PR 4 and above. One of the best ways to get links is to post on different blogs that are related to the keywords of your website. Tools like, Fast Blog Finder will save you an immense amount of time on your endeavor. Just between us, this software tells you the page rank, latest update of the blog and whether or not the blog is a "nofollow or dofollow." It's generally a good practice to blog for about 1-2 hours a day.
Another good SEO advantage that NFL.com has is that they are constantly adding and switching videos. The search engines love videos, especially Youtube. NFL.com has well optimized video's and an exceptional ongoing video marketing strategy for their website. Thousands of NFL fans comment on their videos regarding the football plays and the various shows that are aired on the NFL Network channel. Every sports analysts (all of them happen to be Super Bowl Champions) have an active Twitter account that they use to interact with the fans live during the show.
After looking at all of the factors, it is understandable why their website is SEO Friendly and has an impressive PR 7. There are not many websites that can get past a PR 4 let alone receive a PR 7. Their website is a hub of information for the National Football League and this is why it's so popular. Becoming an authority of information is what all websites should strive for. People are looking for answers and your website should be able to answer their questions quickly. I'm sure every website owner doesn't have the $10,000 budget a month that the NFL has for SEO Services, but you can have a $10,000 a month attitude by being consistent and creative. It's better to focus on your strengths, rather than your weaknesses. If you're a writer than write blogs and comment on other industry leading blogs with relevant content. If you're good with networking than pursue the Social Media Networking with a vengeance. Join community forums and industry groups on Linked in and Digital Point. Every activity conducted on the Internet in regards to your website should be benefiting your website. Keep in mind that the bottom line is to score a "Touch Downs" by "Getting The Links!"
Follow us, Boasting BiZ, on Twitter or Facebook and ask any questions regarding our amazing SEO Services. We enjoy conversing with potential clients and SEO Experts through the Social Media Networks.

Study Identifies Best Way to Fight Blinding Disease
A researcher at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and his colleagues have pinpointed a cost-effective way to battle trachoma -- a childhood eye infection -- common in some developing nations that can lead to scarring of the upper eyelid, in-turned eyelashes, corneal damage, and eventually blindness in adults. The study will help public health authorities in cash-strapped developing countries who depend on hard scientific data to guide them to the most effective and economical treatment strategies. The report appears in the March 2001 issue of the Bulletin of the World Health Organization.
Trachoma can be easily treated with a single dose of an expensive antibiotic or with a six-week course of a less expensive antibiotic. This study looked at the use of the more expensive single-dose antibiotic asking, "What is the best way to administer the drug?" That is, should the antibiotic be given en masse to the entire population susceptible to trachoma (all children ages one to ten years), or should it be narrowly targeted only to those children with active trachoma and their households?
The results of the study showed that the mass distribution method took less time, both for the public health workers and the villagers who received the antibiotic, and used less drug than did the targeted treatment.
"At first glance," said Kevin Frick, PhD, assistant professor, Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, "targeted treatments are intuitively appealing because one expects that the resources used, including antibiotics, will be directed just to those persons most in need and to those around them. We found, however, that targeted household treatment for trachoma was actually less cost-effective than simply treating all children in a village."
The investigators carried out antibiotic interventions in the most westerly part of Nepal, in villages where active trachoma was found to occur in over 15 percent of children. Individual villages were randomly allocated to receive either mass antibiotic treatment (all children ages one to ten years) or targeted treatment (children with active trachoma were first identified and then they and their family members were treated).
The targeted household treatment was no more effective in reducing trachoma, took more time away from both villagers and public health workers, and used slightly more of all resources, according to the study. The results indicated that mass treatment of children should remain the treatment of choice until other methods of distributing targeted treatment are devised and tested.
In the past, cost-effectiveness studies of trachoma control have analyzed only the government's costs; the present study, however, also took into consideration the costs to study subjects themselves and to society as a whole. Villagers' costs, for instance, might include any monetary payments they had to make, as well as the value of time they spent obtaining treatment for their children.
The authors said studying a treatment program's costs and cost-effectiveness from the government's perspective and from the targeted population and the society as a whole is important. "With sufficient planning," said Dr. Frick, "analyses of these extra perspectives require relatively few additional resources for data collection, and their consistent incorporation into future research is important for moving the analysis of the trachoma program forward." This analysis was the first to use a new framework -- developed by Dr. Frick and a colleague at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and spelled out in the March 2001 issue of Ophthalmic Epidemiology -- for conducting this type of cost-effectiveness study. In that article, the authors describe the kinds of data that must be collected to perform similar studies; the types of costs researchers should consider measuring; and the calculations they should use to arrive at the cost-effectiveness ratios that appear in their study.
Support for this study was provided by the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, Helen Keller International, and the International Trachoma Initiative.

Glória & Catete
Gloria and Catete – the best residential areas of Rio de Janeiro
Gloria and Catete are neighborhoods which are the pride of Rio de Janeiro, representing the best residential areas. The region extended from the Gloria Metro Stop southwards to Botafogo bay. However, once the tunnel to Copacabana opened, the attention shifted to Copacabana and Ipanema. Today, this area is making a comeback as entrepreneurs find the characteristics of this neighborhood advantageous to their needs. The 19th century houses are attractive indeed and the close proximity to downtown and Copacabana makes it ideal. Catete in particular has many historic buildings and mansions. The main streets are Rua da Glória, Rua do Catete.
Main Attractions
The Catete Palace garden is well maintained and is open to the public. This spot is especially popular with families as children have a place to play safely. Parque do Flamengo is near this neighborhood, whose boundaries extend into this neighborhood. Unfortunately, in the name of modernization many mansions and houses dating back to colonial era have been demolished. Catete district has retained its reputation of being one of the noblest areas in the city.
Museu da República
The Museum of the Republic or Museu da Republica was formerly owned by a coffee baron, the Barão de Nova Friburgo. It was built between 1858 to 66. In 1887, it was converted into the presidential seat until the capital was moved to Brasilia. The museum displays artifacts relating to the Republic of Brazil and also houses a cinema and hosts dance and theater programs. The building itself, aka Palácio do Catete, is quite spectacular and is set amidst beautiful sprawling gardens which extend from Rua do Catete to Parque do Flamengo. You can visit the little café on the grounds for a snack and enjoy the scenery along with your food.
The Museum of the Republic is located at Rua do Catete, 153 – Catete – ph 55 21 3235-3693 or 55 21 3235-2650 – On Sundays and Wednesdays the entrance is free – From Tuedays to Fridays is open from 10am-5pm and Sat-Sun-Holidays from 2pm – 6pm. The museum gardens is open to visitors until 10pm.
Church of Our Lady Glória
The church of Our Lady Glória is set on the Glória hill and overlooks the Parque do Flamengo. It was built between 1735 and 1791 and is polygonal in structure with a single tower. The church's interiors feature authentic blue-faced Brazilian tiling. It is said that the wood carvings on the main altar was carved by Mestre Valentim. Deemed as a jewel of architecture, the church of Our Lady Glória, is one of the major religious assets of the Brazilian colonial arquitecture. A pioneering work considered at the time (1739). Because of the place where it was built was a strategic point taken from the French by the founder of the city, Estácio de Sá, the church has an important significance to the cariocas.
The church is located at Praça Nossa Senhora da Glória, 135 – Gloria – Phone. +55 21 2225-2869 / 2265-9236 –
Visiting hours: Mon-Fri 9am-12pm and 1pm-4pm – Sat-Sun, 9am-12pm – Museum: Mon-Fri 9am-12pm and 1pm-4pm – Sat-Sun, 9am-12pm – Masses: Sat, 9-11am.

This simple wild food dessert comes from the hedgerows and gardens of rural Cambridgeshire. Damsons and apples feature here for this late summer symphony of flavours. Picked sustainably from generations-old trees, this is a perfectly tart dessert to end a Sunday roast. Serve this plum crumble warm with yoghurt, cream or ice cream.
This recipe does not call for the removal of the damson stones, if you wish to remove them you can do so prior to step one in the method.
It is an old wives' tale that if you place your damson stones around the lip of your bowl and count how many stones you have by saying "tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief" that you will learn of your future husband.

San Diego, CA – There are a lot of reasons why someone would want to sell their house. However, the success of finding a buyer is not guaranteed as many homeowners can testify that it's a very difficult process. To begin with, a homeowner usually lacks the needed network that allows their property to be seen by a number of potential buyers, and as a result, they end up staying with the property longer than desired. The other downside is that more often than not, most homeowners end up settling for far less than the maximum possible profit that the property would have fetched had it been handled by an experienced realtor. It is against this backdrop of struggling homeowners that Improve Realty, with their vast experience in real estate in San Diego, offer property owners the services of selling their homes faster and at a remarkable price as well as sprucing up homes with no upfront costs.
A leading reason for homeowners to sell their property at a lower price is because their property has been valued low. Even though one may be enlightened enough to undertake some renovations to restore the property so that it can be valued and sold for much higher, they may still end up selling at a lower price due to cash constraints, and this is where an expert realtor, such as Improve Realty, comes in. They can work with some of their own real estate genius to help clients when it comes to financing the property, and leave the client smiling all way to the bank. According to the company spokesman, Jason Lamell, "We have the financial backing and home renovation expertise to take your fixer-upper project and turn it into turn-key property, then our marketing team lists your property for a higher value and sells it for maximum potential."
The company's approach is remarkably simple yet so effective which results in a win-win situation for both the homeowner and them as mediators. For a homeowner who wants to sell a property that is valued low, Improve Realty can take up the renovation and restoration process so that by the time they are done with the property, it could sell for the highest possible price, thereby giving the owner a handsome profit. Due to their vast marketing experience and infrastructure that involves buyers and investors in real estate, they are positioned to help a homeowner sell his house for cash much faster and at a better price. The company will also buy a home for cash directly from a homeowner through their sister company. For first time home buyers, Improve Realty will walk them through the process and take the complexity out of it. They make the experience as simple as possible while providing valuable advice on making the best decision.
As real estate grows in the 21st century, Improve Realty is bent in growing with it by employing the best industry practices and participating in the industry with integrity and reliability. Whether it is selling homes for cash or buying them off struggling owners, the company is poised to be the most reliable and reputable realtor in the business.

Growing up I didn't have many good role models. I was quickly disabused of the notion that Preachers are good people when it was a preacher who was shown to be molesting people in the back room of a church we went to. When my dad became the preacher it was even more of a nail in that coffin, because I knew he wasn't perfect and we weren't living in a perfect family either.
I've since realized that nothing is perfect and nothing is always one way or another, especially when it comes to humans. There can be good police and bad police. There can be bad politicians and good politicians. It's best to give people the benefit of the doubt and respect everyone at all times regardless.

Mike Birbiglia's voice still cracks on occasion, and his delivery — long uhhhhs, whip cracks of sarcasm, sentences that inflect higher at the end, rendering even facts an air of uncertainty — shares the same syncopation of a teenager. Sight unseen — which is how a lot of people first came to Birbiglia, via his monologues on This American Life or his comedy albums — he could pass for an adolescent, which makes sense, since so much of this comedy lies in his resistance to the adult world.
In his directorial debut, Birbiglia has re-engineered (along with his co-writers Seth Barrish and This American Life's Ira Glass) the autobiographical material that formed the basis of his identically titled one-man show and subsequent book. Birbiglia plays Matt Pandamiglio, a struggling comic who begins to suffer sleepwalking episodes shortly after he moves in with his longtime girlfriend, Abby (Ambrose). As the pressure mounts from Abby and his family to move toward marriage, Matt retreats to a hectic road schedule, doing stand-up in empty bars and hosting air-karaoke contests at college campuses. The film is on its surest, sharpest footing here, detailing Matt's hard-fought refinement of his voice and the camaraderie he finds in the comedy community.
As a voice in your ear, Birbiglia always had a shambling, decent-guy appeal, and it carries over to the screen (even if he's too old to be playing a 20-something). But what translates less well to film is the monologist's egocentrism. Characters not named Matt Pandamiglio aren't afforded their own stories or inner space; it's as if they power down in between interactions with Matt, just waiting to be called on again to push his plot forward. (Rap twice on hollow Abby and you might hear an echo, which is no way to treat an actress with the acuity and luminosity of Ambrose.)
Sleepwalk With Me is never anything less than awfully likable. But I so wanted it to be more.

Facts about Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders
What are Autism Spectrum Disorders?
The autism spectrum includes Asperger's syndrome, Rett's syndrome, autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder and pervasive developmental disorder – not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). While autism as a whole is characterized by certain groups of symptoms, each disorder on the spectrum displays these in different ways. The three main symptom groups are:
- Problems with social interaction
- Communication and language difficulties
- Repetitive and restricted behavior patterns
These are acted out in many different ways across the autism spectrum.
Facts about the Different Spectrum Disorders in Adults
It is estimated that approximately one in 15 people in the USA have some kind of autistic disorder. This works out to almost 400,000 sufferers, with many of these being adults. The ratio of male to female sufferers is four to one. Here are some interesting facts about adults with autism spectrum disorders:
- Rett's syndrome occurs almost exclusively in females. While the condition becomes apparent from six months of age onward, many sufferers survive into middle age.
- Adults with a childhood disintegrative disorder often remain dependant for life. Only about 20% of them will regain the ability to speak in sentences and many will be placed in institutions due to the level of care needed.
- PDD-NOS is diagnosed when a person shows some but not all of the core symptoms of autistic disorders. Adults with PDD-NOS can be helped to the point where they can receive a good education and go on to function in society. Their prognosis is better if the condition was diagnosed as a child and appropriate therapies were introduced at that time.
- Some adults with autism spectrum disorders also suffer from mental retardation which makes communication difficult.
- Autism is a lifelong neurological condition, and while some adults learn to cope with their limitations, they can never be cured as such.
- Some adults with autism remain nonverbal for life and communicate their needs through signs or grunts. They may become frustrated if their needs are not seen to. Males, in particular, can become aggressive.
- Many adults with autism have sensory problems and feel uncomfortable in crowds or in noisy places. In some cases, the noise levels can cause them physical pain. If crowds can't be avoided, an MP3 player or similar can give some relief from the noise.
- Sexuality can be a problem among autistic people if they are not given an appropriate sex education. Some turn to pornography to learn about sex and end up acting out what they have watched with disastrous consequences.
- Adults with Asperger's syndrome are on the higher functioning end of the autism spectrum. Many go on to marry and hold down jobs.
- Men and women with Asperger's are normally of average or above average intelligence and many are especially gifted in a certain area, such as computers or astronomy.
Adults with autism spectrum disorders have a wide range of abilities and disabilities. While some need full time care, others are able to live independently and run a home. Early intervention and therapy as a child give an autistic adult the best chance at leading a secure and fulfilled life.

Xbox One's day one update will take 15-20 minutes to download, says Microsoft
Xbox One will have a day one update as soon as you fire it up, but Microsoft has stressed that it's not overly big.
As part of an IGN 'Ask Me Anything' with Xbox One's chief platform architect Marc Whitten, he said, "We are optimizing Xbox One so that the day one update is as fast as possible. While we're still finalizing the details, we expect that the download will take between 15 and 20 minutes for most users."
When asked if Microsoft planned to continue its trend of updating the Xbox 360 dashboard once or twice a year on Xbox One, Whitten replied, "Yes. Like we have done with Xbox 360, we will continue to learn from what customers want and love to iterate on the best dashboard experience."
That's going to be an excruciating 15-20 minutes for some fans. What do you think?

There's nothing like a little Wentworth to get us through the slow news week. The actor headed to Australia to check a bunch of things off his list... visit his sister, promote Prison Break and check out a cool spot. We're happy to see Wentworth anywhere he wants to visit! Here's more:
"I thought I'd kill three birds with one stone and get down to Australia.
"I can spend some time with loved ones over the holidays, visit a place I've always wanted to visit and do a little press for the show."
Miller's sister, Leigh, is living in Melbourne for a year.
"My sister just came back from Uluru with tales of kangaroos and the beauty of the area and she has a number of other day trips planned," Miller said.
"She and her friends have been very good about organising road trips and helping me explore what Australia has to offer.
"Half of my fascination with Australia is it seems to have the largest concentration of deadly creatures in and out of the water."
Happy hump day. Love that he's all about family! More of Wentworth promoting Prison Break down under so read more

Part-time technical and part-time manager
Good evening!
As I indicated in my previous blog, I taught a class this week on being a technical professional and technical manager at the same time. This is usually the situation that arises when a technical person is first promoted to management. They are promoted to a position that is part-time technical and part-time manager. During the class I taught, we discussed how and why a technical person is promoted to this "schizophrenic" situation; a situation in which they have to shift from technical to manager and back and forth and back and forth. It seems pretty difficult to be both at the same time and yet this condition seems to occur with regularity.
So I thought this would be a good time to discuss the thinking process that managers go through when they promote their best technical people to part-time manager and part-time technical individual contributor.
The first point I want to make is that very, very rarely does a full-time technical person get promoted to a position of full-time technical manager, and for good reason. Experience counts for something. Judgment is important. It's very risky to take someone who has not done management work and promote them to full-time manager. So it makes sense that a technical person will be given management responsibilities in a piecemeal approach. It's more like a proof of concept process.
However, the issue is that it's usually a proof of concept without adequate training. Most technical professionals get very little if any training before they are given their first management assignment. And for this reason, most technical professionals who get their first promotion to part-time manager have a very difficult time.
It's not uncommon for a person who is 50% technical person and 50% technical manager (i.e., it might be a team lead position, or manager of a small project with one or two people) to get frustrated because the team he or she is managing isn't delivering their tasks on time or in budget. The new manager is often trying not to look like a "micro-manager" and yet by taking such a "hands-off" approach, the tasks aren't getting done. This was exactly the situation facing one of the students in this week's class.
So let's talk first about how the best technical professionals get promoted to this position of part-time technical and part-time manager usually without adequate training. Why would a manager pick the best technical person and promote them out of the job they do so well into a new job without training them?"
From the manager's point of view, the best technical employee may seem to get their work done very quickly and effectively, and therefore, may have something to teach other employees. But most of the time, the reason the manager picks the best technical person is because the manager certainly can't pick the worst technical person to manage technical people who are more competent.
So once the best technical person is targeted for promotion to part-time manager, the manager has to justify the selection. The rationale for the selection process is comprised of several myths. I call these myths, "The Myths of Early Management Selection".
Myth #1
The first Myth is what I call: "Good Technical Job: Why Not Manage?" The thought here is that "if you can do your technical work well you can obviously manage people doing the same or similar work." Underlying this myth is the belief that you can manage a small team or a small project because managing people doing the same work you do is easy." It is, isn't it? This myth completely ignores the fact that your technical work and the management job are completely different disciplines.
Myth #2
The second Myth is what I call "Osmosis". This myth says "Don't worry. Just hang out and assist a good manager in the company and you'll learn what you need to learn from that manager." The unfortunate part about this myth is that while you may well learn some good practices you'll also pick up all the weaknesses and faults of your teaching manager. Myth #2 produces a series of managers that all have the same strengths and the same weaknesses.
Myth #3
The third Myth #3 is what I call, "Trial by fire". It translates into a philosophy which is something like, just jump in there and do the management job. It's a "sink or swim" approach. It's similar to throwing a child who can't swim off the deep end of the pool expecting them to dog paddle their way to the edge of the pool and thereby, gain the ability to swim. Or maybe it's like putting a novice in the left seat of an airliner and expecting them to fly you from San Francisco to New York safely. By any stretch of the imagination, Myth #3 is a looser.
The point I'm driving home is that none of these myths include management training. They are based on the basic assumption that technical management, at least in the early stages, is a no-brainer. It's easy. It's obvious.
The reality is that technical people haven't taken any training to speak of by the time they have graduated from college. They've focused most, if not all their time, on their technical work.
And the necessary training I'm talking about is not training in Microsoft Project, or in budgets, or schedules. I'm talking about the skills of
Conflict Resolution;
Management Style Selction;
Personal Flexibility
and other inter-personal skills that make the difference between success and failure.
Before taking your first step up the technology management ladder, get some preparation in the inter-personal skills that truly make a manager a manager.
Be well
Steven Cerri

Regardless of what we think the year 2012 will bring, now is a good time to stop and think about the world we live in. Are we all aware that our civilization is supported by fragile, man-made, digital structures that exist among untamed forces of nature?
What would it look like if the visible world suddenly and unexpectedly disintegrated before our eyes? Would it be digital?
'Designing the Corrosive Moment' explores digital glitch as a disruptive force, an aesthetic agent, and investigates its role in designing a digital catastrophe. Although identifying the 'natural' and unpredictable glitch with intentional design is a paradox, much is to be learned from this phenomenon.
First of all, this collection of works attempts to portray what happens when undetermined and incorrect processes operating underneath the surface, accumulate and reach critical mass, causing the photographic reality to collapse under the vandalizing force of the glitch. This looming threat constitutes a catastrophic force of destruction, much like an earthquake. It is a moment of corrosion when represented reality, and all its presumed truths become dissolved by the entropic force of digital corruption in a colorful, acidic path of pixels and absurdity. It is an apocalyptic moment, because it is both a failure and a revelation of a system our civilization depends on.
It is also a moment of awareness since the destructive potential of the glitch exposes our illusion of control, our reliance on flawed structures and our false sense of stability.
Glitch is a nihilistic force that reveals the postmodern fragmentation of consumer psyche, causes disruption in communication, and engulfs the world in the apocalyptic noise where form, control and meaning are denied their operations. Just as the early punk culture embraced anarchy to bring attention to the meaninglessness of life, so does the glitch destroy or deny the authority of structures. But what if we accept it, and use it to decorate? This is how punk became popular while at the same time it 'unbecame' punk.
The imagery here oscillates between chaos and order, accident and intention, by harvesting glitches from their natural occurrences, stimulating them in digital files, and assimilating them aesthetically into visual content through intentional design.
As a result the corrosive glitch moves on a sliding scale from being an active ingredient in the process, to being an aesthetic shell where the visuals are only a faint echo of the original moment of disturbance.
So is this a show about the end of the world or the end of glitch? Both are the destroyer and the destroyed, a serious threat and an assimilated effect.

Should I exercise if I'm pregnant with twins?It is generally safe and good for you to exercise if you're expecting twins, but you should talk to your doctor before you do. You may need to be monitored more closely than someone who is carrying just one baby.
As you will increase in size faster than someone who is expecting one baby, some forms of exercise may become uncomfortable in early pregnancy.
Although your bump will be bigger than someone who is only carrying one baby, your lungs can adapt to two just as well (McAuliffe et al, 2002). So you shouldn't find breathing while you exercise any more difficult than if you were carrying one baby.
The last three months of a twin pregnancy can be especially tiring. You are also more prone to having low iron levels (anaemia) if you are carrying twins, which may make you even more tired. As more than half of twins are born before 37 weeks (NCCWCH 2011), most health professionals don't recommend vigorous or aerobic exercise after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
If you want to carry on exercising after 28 weeks, talk to your doctor first. And read our tips for a safe workout before you begin.
What type of exercise is best for a twin pregnancy?The following exercises are ideal for pregnancy, as long as your doctor says it's safe for you to do them (Tamba 2009):
Swimming and aquanatal classes
Exercising in water will feel more comfortable than other exercise, as water helps to support the extra weight you're carrying. Water supports your joints and ligaments as you exercise, protecting you against injury.
The cooling effect of the water can also keep you from overheating. You may also find that swimming eases swelling and the discomfort caused by varicose veins, which are common in twin pregnancies.
If you suffer from backache or pelvic pain, talk to your doctor or a physiotherapist before you start swimming. If the breaststroke is uncomfortable, ask about alternative strokes or exercises in the water. But simply moving around and walking in the water can provide a good form of exercise, and may help to alleviate your aches and pains.
Yoga is a gentle way of maintaining fitness, which may also help with flexibility and muscle toning. Avoid upside-down poses and any movements that require you to lie flat on your back, especially after 16 weeks (RCOG 2006). These positions may decrease blood flow to your uterus (womb).
Never force or strain during any yoga pose or stretch, especially during movements that stretch your tummy muscles. You may have to modify some of your postures if you experience back or pelvic pain.
Most yoga teachers recommend starting yoga classes in the second trimester of pregnancy, after 14 weeks (BWY 2005). After 28 weeks, you may find some of the poses too awkward to achieve. Check that your doctor and yoga teacher are happy for you to carry on with your classes after this point.
This targets your tummy and pelvic floor muscles, which are placed under a lot of strain when you are carrying more than one baby. Many Pilates exercises are performed in a hands-and-knees position. This takes the stress off your back and pelvis and may help to position your babies ready for birth.
Before trying Pilates, make sure that you can perform a strong pelvic floor contraction. Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles and hold it for at least 10 seconds, without holding your breath. If you can't maintain a stable core by tightening your pelvic floor and lower tummy muscles, you risk overstressing your joints, ligaments and pelvic floor.
Some positions, especially if they involve lying on your tummy or back, shouldn't be adopted in pregnancy. Look for a Pilates class designed for pregnant women, with a qualified instructor, and tell them that you're expecting twins.
Pelvic floor exercises
Because of the extra weight you are carrying, and because you have more pregnancy hormones in your system, you may leak urine when you cough or sneeze. Exercising your pelvic floor muscles regularly should help to prevent or treat this problem (Tamba 2009).
If the problem persists, ask your doctor to refer you to a physiotherapist (NCCWCH 2011).
As long as you find it comfortable, and are not suffering from pelvic or back pain, walking is a great form of exercise during pregnancy. It keeps you fit without jarring your knees and ankles, fits easily into your day, and costs nothing.
Can I still push myself when exercising?You shouldn't push yourself hard, or exercise to exhaustion. Exercise at a comfortable level to be safe, so that you could easily hold a conversation with someone while you exercise (RCOG 2006).
You may want to monitor your heart rate while exercising, but as heart rates in pregnancy can vary widely, it is safer to be guided by how you feel (Artal and O'Toole 2003).
What are the signs that I should stop exercising?If you experience uncomfortable Braxton Hicks contractions while you are exercising, take a break and allow them to settle. If they don't go away within 20 minutes, contact your doctor.
You should stop exercising and seek medical advice from your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms due to exercising:
- back pain or pain in your hips;
- leaking of fluid other than urine;
- vaginal bleeding;
- blurred vision;
- nausea and/or sickness;
- dizziness;
- fainting;
- breathlessness;
- heart palpitations;
- increased swelling in your hands, feet and ankles;
- sharp pain in your tummy or chest;
- calf pain or swelling;
- your baby is moving less than usual or not at all;
- you feel unwell. (Artal and O'Toole 2003, RCOG 2006)
When is exercising in pregnancy not safe?It's essential that you talk to your doctor before exercising if you:
- are more than 27 weeks pregnant;
- are anaemic or feel very weak and tired;
- have a chest problem such as bronchitis or asthma;
- experience bleeding in pregnancy;
- had a previous baby who was premature;
- have shown any signs of premature labour during this pregnancy;
- have cervical weakness;
- have a low-lying placenta (placenta praevia);
- have low or high blood pressure;
- have a condition such as a heart problem, diabetes, epilepsy or thyroid disease;
- have babies who are small for dates or aren't growing properly (fetal growth restriction);
- are very underweight or overweight;
- have never exercised before, or want to significantly increase your exercise level. (Artal and O'Toole 2003, RCOG 2006, SOGC/SCEP 2003)

Since tourism is San Francisco's #1 industry, you'll find no end of shopping opportunities, from vintage boutiques on Chestnut Street to the big-name stores surrounding Union Square. But if you want an authentic, truly quirky and memorable California shopping experience, then head to locally beloved Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco's Mission District.
Since California produces more fruit and vegetables than any other state in the US, eating some healthy, organic, locally grown produce should be part of everyone's California trip. Trust us: you haven't really eaten a plum until you've eaten a California plum.

We don't expect you to fill your suitcase with produce, though - especially since transport of fruits and vegetables between certain states is illegal. But Rainbow Grocery offers plenty of other authentic California mementos, too. These include an extensive bath and body collection, an impressive library of cookbooks and healthy lifestyle manuals, plus candles and incense to make that romantic San Francisco night feel - and smell - just right.
All of this is run by a staff that are part-owners, since Rainbow Grocery has long been a worker-owned cooperative.
If you really want a taste of what it means to shop locally and "mindfully" in San Francisco, a visit to Rainbow Grocery is a must. Did we mention the produce?

TOPIC: Would you prefer to have an expensive and ostentatious wedding with lots of guests or a simple and quiet one.
Considering that wedding just takes place once in life, young people usually have an expensive and ostentatious wedding with lots of guests. I prefer a simple and quite one, as it makes things much better in many ways.
If you get a expensive and ostentatious wedding, not only do you waste your money and time, but it also damages your health. The more luxury you get, the more money and time you have to spend. Also, the more guests you've got, the more dificulties you have to face in order to greet them warmly and to drink with them cheerfully. Not only does the beer damages you but the huge food you eat is also harmful for your health, even you have to go to hospital in some severe cases. In addition, earning money is not always easy. The great number of money you spend on your wedding may make you regret one day when you need them badly in some situations such as treating your children from disease.
On the other hand, if you get a simple wedding, you not only save your money and time, but it is also good for your health. You do not have to drink a lot of beer, to eat a lot of food, to welcome a lot of guests. So you can spend your wedding night to talk with your partner that how deep you love her, that how important to you she is and that you will go with her until the end of life (not of film). Or you can talk with your partner about your life in future and ask her to help you overcome the difficulties ahead. Isn't it better you sleep unconsciously because of drinking a lot of beer.
In conclusion, although an expensive and ostentatious wedding could make you happy a day or two, it would make you regret long later. Instead, you should get a simple one which would make you happy for ever.

As part of our botnet monitoring initiative, we recently stumbled across an interesting piece of news. The Win32/Kelihos botnet, a likely successor to Win32/Waledac and Win32/Nuwar (the infamous Storm worm), is now sending spam to recruit money mules. We captured two different spam templates used by the bot to generate spam messages. As shown in the images below, the recruitment advertisements are in two languages, German and Portuguese.
We often see mule recruitment spam but it is usually in English. This is a likely proof that standard recruitment schemes are getting less successful and malicious actors need to spend more energy on targeted audience in their native language. Another possibility would be that the malware operators are specifically looking for money mules in Portugal and Germany. In the last couple of weeks, the Win32/Kelihos botnet was used for pump and dump scams, it is likely the operators are now moving to the next step of their operation which is to transform their gain on the stock market into cash.
If you are interested in peer-to-peer botnets and the evolution of Win32/Kelihos, we will present on this topic at the upcoming Virus Bulletin conference in Barcelona.
Thanks to Sebastien Duquette and Alexis Dorais-Joncas for their help in this research.

DIY Fortnightly Friday – Doily Stationery
Hello lovely people!
I'd like to know if it's just me who has a doily obsession? Paper or crocheted is fine, but I can't get enough of them. Hence why they pop up in my DIY projects as often as I think I can get away with it 😉
This stationery was actually one of the designs my sister and I came up with for her wedding stationery. I'll be sharing her final choice on Adore in a few weeks but in the meantime you can see how to make this here.
There's lots of yummy recipes on there too, including Chocolate and Baileys cupcakes today if you fancy a spot of weekend baking?!
Have a nice weekend,
Chloe x

How to Sound Sexy in Bed and Arouse Your Partner
Don't Miss this!
Latest in LovePanky
All true. Legit stuff.
I want more tips on how to moan on bed
@stella…moaning in bed is the easiest thing. As it feels good just sigh. Let your voice out softly. When it gets more intense your voice will express it. Just don't repress yourself, and it'll probably happen naturally. Don't try to fake it.
It seems like i cant hold back moans in bed, is that normal? Everything i've read has been about "try to moan" but i don't even try, it just happens. Should I try to cut back a little?
OMG I laughed so hard in "The perfect words" section. "Like Godzilla's on the warpath." Hahaha. Cannot get a hold of myself right now.

It's gotten to where this past summer—when I was supposed to be the one taking pictures on the set of the feature film I wrote and produced—I had to force myself to actually pick my camera up and push that button. This would amuse some of my former photography students (who never wanted to push that button), but I'm pretty sure it's not just laziness, diminishing returns, or whatever. It's a desire, as I've moved on through life and (occasionally) into something approximating wisdom, to stop living so much in fear of the "missed moment," or in the vague anxiety that life won't be meaningful unless it's validated by my peers.
I've always been less interested in photography-as-documentation than in photography-as-art. But now that everybody's* carrying a camera-equipped phone around with them and the Art-aspect of it has consequently been diminished, it's become impossible to ignore the loss of actual life experience. Now, life can't be lived without being mediated by a lens, a digital sensor, and the dream of exterior validation. If you can't instagram it, the feeling goes, it isn't real... you weren't really there.
And so you trade your life for the pipe dream of LIFE, enhanced.
Me, I want real life—in all its drab, glorious detail.
|from @waynedahlberg, on the twits

*May I just take this moment to express my annoyance at the way people talk about how "everybody" is doing this or that thing, when what they mean is that "everybody who is like me" is doing it? Articles abound talking about how in the future, everybody will be this-and-that, when all they really mean is, "in the future, the ever-shrinking wealthiest percentage will do this, and nobody else really matters." Well, I don't have a camera phone. Nor do a good many of the world's most interesting people. So... shut up.

Scrabble (GameHouse)
This article cites its sources but does not present page references You'll be able to assist to improve it by introducing citations which might be extra exact. Mattel launched its official model of online Scrabble, Scrabble by Mattel, on Facebook in late March 2008. Let's be trustworthy, Phrases with Pals is identical sport as Scrabble, just with some tile numbering and special tiles moved round. Moxie 2 (£1.49, iPhone; £1.99, iPad) is better for solo gamers, taking the Upwords system and simplifying it, forcing you to play phrases inside three six-letter slots.
And quite a few Hasbro-invented variants which don't use the traditional gameboard are floating around, reminiscent of Scrabble Flash, where you employ 5 tile-shaped devices to make words ( Yahtzee and Simon also have Flash variants). The up side is that Scrabble additionally has assist for Facebook, single player towards the pc, and random opponents.
Though Butts made a couple of units of the sport himself, he didn't have much luck selling the game, and no main sport manufacturer would buy his invention. There are not many websites the place you possibly can play the game of actual, multiplayer Scrabble online free.
In case you're tired of Scrabble or Phrases with Mates and need a recent tackle the word sport style, Letterpress is it. The 80s recreation present had its' personal Home Game launched, with gameplay extra like that of the present. In all different English-talking countries, the competitors thesaurus is Collins Scrabble Phrases 2015 version, often known as CSW15.
It's a good game, but we don't play it, as a result of we now have so many other and better video games. In event play, a problem could also be to the whole play or any a number of words, and judges (human or computer) are used, so players aren't entitled to know which phrase(s) are invalid.

Antony and the Johnsons Play Beyoncé
I hate cover bands, but I love a good cover by a great original artist. The Dismemberment Plan used to close their shows with an extremely long, ambling, and totally amazing improv-driven version of "OK, Joke's Over" (which is frankly one of their weaker songs on CD) that would occasionally segue into various covers, often of hip-hop acts (over the roughly dozen times I saw them play, I'm pretty sure I recall hearing partial covers of Missy Elliot, Juvenile, and Ludacris). It was always one of the highlights of any Plan show. One of my favorite covers is the Foo Fighters' awesome rendition of Baker Street. And I still remember seeing Death Cab for Cutie play a lovely version of "Sweet Home Alabama" in Louisville, Kentucky more than a few years ago. For me, at least, the trick with a cover isn't to replicate the original — it's to remake it, to reimagine it as something entirely new. A great cover (or remix, for that matter), ought to reveal something in the song that you never heard before. Naturally, I find this haunting, elegant Antony and the Johnsons cover of Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" pretty remarkable.

The major difference is that the ETF fluctuates in value throughout the day with market conditions, while the value of the mutual fund is calculated at the close of each business day, usually 4 pm, and all orders placed since the last close are traded at that price.To the long term investor they are equivalent. To the short term trader, ETF can have advantages.

When security and toughness is paramount, call the Navy Seals. When you need a phone with similar attributes, Sprint and Motorola hopes you look towards the just-announced Android XPRT and Titanium.
The XPRT is Sprint's first Android phone with enterprise-class security, which comes by way 256-bit AES data encryption and enterprise-controlled security schemes and functions including remote wipe, password recovery and enabling various locks. A 3.1-inch HVGA screen rests above a full QWERTY keypad with a 1GHz processor running A Motoblur'd Android 2.2. The XPRT is hitting all of Sprint's retail channels June 5 for $129.
The Titanium keeps Direct Connect alive with a full Qwerty keypad, 3.1-inch touchscreen and Android 2.1. The iDEN device of course meets military specs for dust, shock vibration, solar radiation — pretty much anything Hal Jordan could manifest. The Titanium is the successor to the Motorola i1 launched last year and will probably make some push-to-talk loyests happy to finally join the cool kids with their own Android 2.x phone. Pricing and availability wasn't announced.
