"We created the show to talk with people like us, in the public relations and marketing field that want to learn more, to get better at what we do and to hopefully have some fun," said Brian Murnahan, President of Murnahan Public Relations.
FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB)
November 16, 2017
The KPI Banter Show debuted last week during a kick-off party with hosts and co-founders Brian Murnahan and Michelle Keefer, along with partner Curtis Stratton. The new webcast features talks with professionals in public relations and marketing including Joe Trahan, the media relations coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys; Jessica Burnham, executive director for the Deep Ellum Foundation and Bob Hastings, executive vice president and chief of staff for Bell Helicopter.
"We created the show to talk with people like us, in the public relations and marketing field that want to learn more, to get better at what we do and to hopefully have some fun," said Murnahan, President of Murnahan Public Relations (http://www.murnahanpr.com). "Practical success stories and insights for how others have measured success and defined their goals are helpful to everyone in the field and insightful to thousands of small business owners who wear a multitude of hats every day."
The KPI Banter Show pushed out an app to the Google Play Store and published its website with the first three episodes at http://www.kpibanter.com. The iPhone app will be issued before the end of the year. In addition to the feature conversation, topics of the day have already included banter on SnapChat, a failed Pepsi Cola ad and personal leadership.
"Nerding out over patterns and trends is the best part of measuring success, the data tells you what to do next," according to Keefer, President at MKConsulting (http://www.consultmk.com). "Simply putting out the content is not enough, we have to measure the success of each piece and across various channels. While it does come down to a repeatable process, there's nothing one size fits all about it. This show explores real life examples of what that looks like in all types of situations."
There is more content available in the premium content section of the site, including additional conversations with our featured interview, tips and insights. KPI Banter hosts Murnahan and Keefer have already had some gaffs around the studio that have generated bloopers to lighten up the mood.
"Featuring great content is our first goal, but then we want to make sure that it is consumable – timed right with the segments identified and with great visuals to help tell the story," said Stratton, President of Stratton Productions (http://www.curtisstratton.com). "The shows production value will grow in time, but right now we want everyone to see what we have. They need to get excited about what we are doing and they will be impressed as the show progresses."
The new show is looking for great new interviews to share their successes and tips for everyone to learn from. In addition, the show is looking for sponsors that would like to put their brands and products in front of the KPI Banter Show audience. Our first sponsor is Magik Digital, responsible for developing our debut website and mobile applications.
"We produce great websites and view our role as saving the internet one website at a time," said DeeAnn Dubeansky, President of Magik Digital (http://www.magikdigital.com). "The KPI Banter Show works to elevate the conversation around public relations and marketing, not only in big business, but down on Main Street."
Murnahan added, "We can all learn from the successes of our peers. Some of us have more resources that others, but that is not to say, the tactics used by Bell Helicopter could not be adapted and used by an innovative business owner."

James Wan of Insidious jump scare fame is back with another horror movie, The Conjuring. The first trailer was scary as hell, the second fleshes out the story a bit more. Looks like we're dealing with a vintage Ghostbusters gang. Take a look.
We've been sufficiently scared enough by Wan to know that this movie is most likely going to be impossible to watch alone. Can't wait.
The Conjuring will hit theaters on July 19th.

Domestic Market's Growth Augurs Well for the Asia Pacific Contact Center Market, Finds Frost & Sullivan
10 Jul, 2012, 09:49 BST
- Large and qualified labor pool continues to attract outsourcers to the region
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The rise in domestic demand for third-party services has firmly entrenched the Asia Pacific in the global contact center outsourcing market. In 2011, 60.9 percent of the total revenue was from domestic markets, largely because of the upswing in the telecommunications and banking and financial services (BFS) sectors.
The telecommunications boom in India adds more than a million customers annually, making a robust case for outsourcing contact center operations. Similarly, in China, the mushrooming of banks and multinational companies has popularized the outsourcing of customer relationship management (CRM) services.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.contactcenter.frost.com), Asia-Pacific Contact Center Outsourcing - Domestic and Offshore Markets, finds that the market earned revenues of US$17.18 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach US$29.72 billion in 2017.
Domestic growth, along with solid infrastructure, geographical and cultural proximity to western countries, and the presence of well-qualified, college-educated, and low-cost labor that can serve clients in multiple languages has made Asia Pacific the destination of choice for outsourcing.
This substantial market potential does not preclude concerns regarding quality of services and security features, due to which, many companies prefer to maintain contact center services in-house. Outsourcers are also hampered by issues of high churn, market saturation in various countries, increasing costs, anti-offshoring stance by many western countries, and a growing requirement for self-servicing in CRM.
"While certain companies do not wish to outsource, some are willing to outsource, provided the operations are on-shore or near-shore to locations with similar language, diction, and culture," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Sathya Subramanian. "This bias can be attributed to apprehensions regarding a drop in both service quality and data security."
Outsourcers are looking to win back customers' confidence by implementing several new technologies and strategies that will help them improve the quality of services and offer better data security features. With the right kind of innovation and strategies, supported by the various governments in the region, outsourcers can maintain a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6 percent from 2011 to 2017.
"Entities throughout the Asia Pacific region are exploring various hosted contact centers and Internet protocol-based technologies to provide superior services in the most cost-effective manner," noted Subramanian. "Service providers are also slowly expanding their portfolio to other non-voice, back-office operations such as knowledge process outsourcing, financial and accounting outsourcing, and human resources outsourcing to provide end-to-end support."

Parish volunteers bring spiritual comfort, friendship to veterans' home residents
- Written by Morningstar Stevenson
- Published in Local
PORT ORCHARD – Each week since retiring in 1999, Doyle Forrester has helped bring the faith to men and women living at the nearby Washington Veterans Home.
"I serve as sacristan, lector, eucharistic minister, or [wheelchair] pusher," Forrester said. "Anything I can do to help these guys and show appreciation for what they did."
Forrester is among some 20 volunteers from two Catholic communities — St. Gabriel Parish in Port Orchard and Prince of Peace Mission in Belfair — who take turns making weekly visits to the nursing home.
Each Wednesday afternoon the rosary is recited, followed by Mass or a Communion service (anointing of the sick is offered once a month). Afterward, the volunteers serve light refreshments for residents to enjoy.
"People's spiritual needs don't stop because they can't make it to Mass," said Maria Murphree, St. Gabriel's director of religious education. "They're still part of the body of Christ. We want to make sure that none of them are forgotten."
Typically, up to 20 residents attend the weekly service, including a handful of non-Catholics who come "to hear the word," said St. Gabriel parishioner Sandy Maes, who coordinates the volunteers.
The parishioners contribute to the residents' spiritual healing, according to Tami Reuter, the home's recreational therapy manager and volunteer coordinator.
"Faith is such a critical element of total care for residents in any home," Reuter said.
Ministry of presence
The parish volunteers don't just facilitate faith experiences for the residents. "It's a ministry of presence," Murphree said. "Some [residents] don't have family nearby, so our parishioners take the time to get to know them."

Reuter said veterans tend to "self-isolate," but knowing that the parish volunteers will be there every Wednesday helps build trust. "The reliability of this ministry draws out those who might not otherwise be there," she said.
Friendships develop as a result. Many of the volunteers describe their relationship with the residents as "family."
"I love every one of them," Forrester said. "There's equal giving and taking."
Those connections make it more difficult when a resident dies.
"It gets emotional," Maes said. "You know that's coming, but it's still hard." To honor residents who have died, the ministry has also helped organize Masses of remembrance, she said.
'Still enriching our lives'
Bringing services to people whose frailties prevent them from going to church is rewarding for the volunteers.
"It's beautiful to see those with memory problems still mouth the words to the old songs like 'Faith of Our Fathers,'" Maes said.
St. Gabriel parishioner Dick Coolen, who plays the piano during the services, said he sometimes includes secular music that the residents will recognize, such as the national anthem or songs from the armed services.
"I try to make [the songs] brighter and more enjoyable in the way I play," he added.
Coolen also tells the story of a resident he visited for years. "All he wanted to talk about was the [University of Washington] Huskies," Coolen said. "After 17 years of talking, one day he said to me, 'I'd like to become Catholic.'"
So Coolen introduced the resident to St. Gabriel's pastor, and the man was baptized and confirmed six months before his death.
Volunteer Kathy Forrester, a St. Gabriel parishioner, describes a resident she became close with even though the woman could only communicate by smiling.
"She was the best part of my week," Forrester said. "Everyone should have that experience."
Even though she has had to step back from some of her other volunteer responsibilities at the parish, Maes said, she will visit the veterans home as long as she's able.
"I feel sorry that more people don't see what we see and feel what we feel," Maes said. "These people are still enriching our lives."

The atmosphere inside Gardiner and Field is electric, as one can expect on the opening day of a new cafe. Owners Jess Feldy and Nick Gardiner are rushing between the coffee machine and the door, making coffees and swiftly greeting customers with welcoming grins.
This is the boys' first shot at running their own cafe, but they've clocked up enough experience in the industry to know what's going on. Feldy previously worked at 30 Mill and Gardiner at The Maling Room in Canterbury.
From the outside, Gardiner and Field almost still looks like a local milk bar, nestled in amongst residential houses, parallel to the local tennis court. A row of benches lining the pavement hints at the building's new purpose and provides a nice spot to sit when the sun is out.
Once inside, you're greeted with crisp white walls and navy coloured chairs sitting neatly beneath compact tables. The combination of well placed down lights and big windows fills the space with plenty of light to read the morning paper by. Daffodils in tiny medicine flasks sit atop each table and several more hang from a fragile tree branch in the front window – a welcome reminder that Spring is just around the corner.
Feldy hopes the cafe will entice both the locals and those not from the area to come in for some good food and coffee including a house-made blend from The Maling Room and rotating single origin varieties.
"We hope it's going to be a fun place to hang out," says Feldy, "a bit of an adventure for those not from around here and a local hangout for those who are".
When it comes to the menu, Gardiner and Field are all about trying different things whilst keeping the menu fresh and healthy. Chef Georgie Tulley has developed a range of healthy spread options and even lunch packs available for those on the run or who fancy enjoying their lunch in the nearby park or at their desk. Packs include a sandwich, salad and sweet treat. Speaking of treats, the cake cabinet is fully stocked with delicious house-made cakes and sweets, while the providore shelf is lined with homemade jams, house blend coffee and even the coffee cups are available for purchase.
From spiced quinoa, pumpkin and chickpea fritters with flatbread, spiced yoghurt, coriander and poached eggs, to baked rhubarb and strawberries rolled in French toast tortillas with orange, mint and a sprinkle of granola, the breakfast selection will satisfy any hungry tummy.
With a warm welcoming atmosphere and innovative menu, we can see Gardiner and Field becoming a new local Armadale favourite.

43 Union Street, Armadale
Mon to Fri 7am–4pm

If you're having problems charging your PlayStation Vita's battery, first of all make sure that the AC adaptor is connected properly.
Connect the USB cable so that the PS logo on the cable is visible beneath the "PSVITA" logo under the touchscreen, and make sure that you're using the AC Adaptor that was supplied with the system.
If you're playing something while the PlayStation Vita system is charging, the charging time will take longer than when the system's not being used.
The PlayStation Vita system can also be charged by connecting it to a USB device such as a PC / Mac. If you're charging from a USB power supply be sure to turn off the PlayStation Vita system before charging it as some devices aren't able to supply enough power to the console.

Sure, make up does wonders, especially when you are getting yourself clicked. This you may have realized, several times, after you got your images clicked. You may have wished you could add a quick touch of make-up to look better in several photos. Whether or not we are photogenic, correct makeup and the right attitude can indeed make our photos look better. Sometimes, due to poor lighting conditions also photos may look dull. Therefore, to take care of issues such as these, add instant makeover effects to images that look dark and dull.
Beauty enhancing picture modes
Camera manufacturers have come up with cameras with unique functions that are often called 'make-up mode', 'Beauty shot' and 'cosmetic mode', etc. These beauty enhancing shots will enable editing photos in the camera itself without spending money on installing expensive photo editing software on your computer. Cameras having these special picture taking and photo editing modes can brighten skin texture, transform tanned, dull skin into glowing skin and also erase wrinkles and fine lines from the faces in the photos. These modes use face recognition technology to identify faces in photos, alleviate focuses on those faces and curb detailing to minimize laugh lines, wrinkles etc.
Soft skin modes
Some cameras feature Soft Skin Mode that you can try to minimize the appearance of lines on faces in close-up photos. In close-up photos, your camera can capture even minute details on faces; Soft skin mode comes handy in such shots. It softens the focus and leaves minute details from getting captured. It, however, maintains the overall focus on pictures.

The Casio Exilim cameras have this new Make-up Mode function that makes focused faces on pictures look perfect. This mode softens shadows and flaws that often appear on faces due to sunlight and other lighting sources. The shot comprises twelve levels – from minimum to maximum. You can also see the make-up effect on TFT color display while taking photos.

Stowell's Evergreen (Baker Creek)
Out of stock
A source of countless family memories, Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn (Zea mays) has been grown in backyard gardens for more than 150 years. Large stalks — up to 10 feet tall — yield beautiful, 8-inch ears with plump, creamy-white kernels. Very tasty and ready for harvest in 90 days. Here are our best tips on Growing Corn, too!
Each packet contains approximately 125 seeds.
Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Plant this warm-season vegetable directly into the soil two weeks after your average last-frost date. Sow 1 inch deep, 8 to 12 inches apart. Crops require full sun, ample water and deep rich organic soil to perform well.
Harvest ears three weeks after tassels appear. Look for brown silks, dark green husks and plump kernels that squirt "milky" liquid when pinched; clear juice is immature. Prepare and cook shortly after picking — flavor is lost quickly!

One day soon the robots will replace us in all things, whether we like it or not. They'll be doctors and engineers and even artists and, though we may still prefer human expressions of creativity in this gleaming future, it won't matter because the robots will probably have us living in rows of vats, sucking out our precious nutrients for their robot fuel, and we won't have much of a say about it.
With this exciting prospect in mind, it's for the best that the machines might tell us some halfway decent jokes while we suffer under their dispassionate rule.
As detailed in a Motherboard article, the bots are already coming for the world of stand-up in the form of The Headlinertron, a Twitter bot created and managed by comedian CJ Hernandez. Fed by over 30,000 words of stand-up comedy transcripts taken from shows by Dave Chapelle, Sarah Silverman, John Mulaney, and more, Headlinertron's jokes are formed by inputting this data to a predictive text generator, after which Hernandez adds punctuation.
The results, bizarre as they may be, are actually pretty funny.
Like any good stand-up, Headlinertron has some good bits on sex:

Folks, he's even got some chestnuts from the "complain about your wife" file:
If outdoing Kevin James with a single tweet isn't impressive enough, scroll through some more of its neverending Twitter set to see what else the Headlinertron is packing. It's good stuff: lacking in a real stand-up special's pacing and cohesion, sure, but with the right delivery, a lot of these would work.
Twitter bots are already whipping our soft, fleshy, human asses at writing video game erotica, generating TV captions, brainstorming new proper nouns for fantasy books, naming romance novels, and romancing guys on dating apps. Though Headlinertron is getting a helping hand from its carbon-based creator, it's success is just another sign of our approaching obsolescence. Still, we may as well thank Headlinertron. At least it shows we may still get to laugh now and then when the machines rule the earth.

Review: Superman #25
T. Kyle King is a lawyer, a former sports blogger, a panelist on the "Twin Peaks"-centric "Wrapped in Podcast", and a Superman guy.
Superman #25 concluded the Black Dawn story arc with a sixth and final chapter entitled Fade to Black. The oversized issue was co-authored by Patrick Gleason and Peter J. Tomasi, with pencils by Doug Mahnke and Gleason. ComiConverse's Krypton-centric contributor, T. Kyle King, brings you his review of the dramatic finale.
(Warning: Spoilers follow!)
Superman #25 Review:
Manchester Black has Jonathan Kent in thrall. When the villain sends Superboy and the Super Elite against Superman — who is backed up by Batman, Robin, Frankenstein, and the Bride — will the father or the son prevail?
Superman #25 Synopsis:
Black turns Superboy loose against his father, giving Jon the uninhibited use of his full powers. Frankenstein and the Bride take the fight to Manchester and the Elite while Batman and Robin aid Superman in containing the unleashed youth. The Man of Steel leads the boy away from the melee in a flight to the top of the burning doom tree, but, when a part of the flaming oak plummets down toward innocent citizens below, Jonathan insists on saving the people to show his own strength.
The unstable quantum reactor of the concealed ship, on the verge of collapsing entirely, begins "throwing out arcs of space-time", one of which allows Superboy to peer into the alternate worlds of the multiverse. Jonathan then ruthlessly turns on Black, but his brutal assault is interrupted when Lois Lane appears and shows her son she is all right: Manchester Black created the illusion that she had been injured. Kathy Branden grabs Jon's hand and, taking advantage of the lad's link with Manchester, renders the villain inert with telepathic feedback. Superman allows the apologetic Super Elite to rebuild Hamilton County and guard the rift, the Kents make plans to move to Metropolis, and Manchester Black's consciousness appears to emerge in the body of the Cobbs' dairy cow.
Superman #25 Analysis:
Fade to Black has an ample amount of cool moments. The thematic chromatic aesthetic is underscored not just by the presence of Goth Superboy but also by the existence of black, rather than white, backgrounds behind the panel borders. The page-turn reveal of the physically whole Lois — whose dismemberment, as predicted, was only an illusion — was preceded by her maternal exclamation of her son's full name. As the story nears nears its close, Clark Kent wistfully reflects that Hamilton will always be for Jonathan what Smallville was for him. These are just some of a number of nice touches for which Superman #25 deserves praise.
Unfortunately, the last chapter of Black Dawn also has more than its fair share of severe problems. Even with extra pages, the story has too many characters to make good use of them all. Furthermore, the fact that the fridging was fictitious was hardly redemptive, particularly when Frankenstein suffered a succession of dismemberments. Mahkne's energetic action sequences and Gleason's softer personal moments each are effective on their own, but the stylistic shift in the midst of the clash with Manchester Black disrupted the visual flow of the tale. The biggest problem with Superman #25, though, is the simple truth that Fade to Black is a narrative mess.
Cobb and Kathy Branden, after having been quite sinister in their menacing manipulation of the Kent family, shift allegiances with stunning suddenness, resulting in a degree of forgiveness that is not so much kindhearted as dangerously naive. Superman likewise is befuddlingly gullible in trusting the Elite, whose change of heart conveniently coincided with the absolute defeat of their leader moments before, but who evidently may be relied upon to safeguard a dimensional rift otherwise left unattended. Jon's loyalties and values seem equally transient, both before and after the random intrusion of the deus ex machina of the quantum reactor exposed him to the multiverse almost as an afterthought, and the coda of Superman #25 is yet another county fair, which apparently happen every other week in Hamilton County.
So much of Black Dawn — Chapter 6 fails to follow logically from page to page that some of the comic's best moments get buried under burning doom tree branches, flying Frankenstein limbs, and dimensional rift rivulets. The concluding sequence strongly suggesting that Manchester Black's consciousness has been transferred into the Cobbs' cow recalls Hellcow — hardly the first Howard the Duck allusion to appear in the storyline. Also, the energy that flows from the quantum reactor into Superboy and is then unleashed against the villain all has a distinctive light blue tint; what forthcoming clash do you suppose that foreshadows?
Superman #25 ended well, but that doesn't mean that all's well with this troubled, convoluted conclusion to the Black Dawn arc. We invite you to offer your thoughts in the comments and ComiConverse with us about Fade to Black.

Despite a scattering of nice moments, the concluding chapter of the Manchester Black storyline was a messy patchwork of inexplicable motivations, mishandled characters, and narrative conceits.

U.S. researchers have collected footage of a polar bear's point of view of the world using video cameras strapped to collars.
U.S. Geological Survey researchers have been studying polar bear movement and habitat use for decades using radio and satellite, but the new video collars allowed scientists to see the bears' actual behaviours.
The researchers tried the same project last year, but the cameras were unable to stand up to the cold temperatures.
The cameras were on four female bears north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, for eight to 10 days in April. While it wasn't a long time, the scientists said it has given them insight into how polar bears eat, hunt, rest, walk and swim. There was one encounter with a potential mate.
"Ultimately, this information will help scientists examine the energetic rates and nutritional demands of these animals and the potential effects of declining sea ice conditions," lead researcher Anthony Pagano said in a press release.

In UK probate instances we use the time period Grant of Representation, this refers to the strategy of the Grant of Probate or the Grant of Letters of Administration, it's a generic term. A Grant of Probate offers the executor the proper to start dealing with the deceased individual's estate. A Grant of Letters of Administration provides an administrator the suitable to begin dealing with the belongings in the absence of a legitimate Will.When is a Grant of Probate needed?
In most conditions an executor will probably be named within the will and shall apply for a Grant of Probate after the date of death. Nevertheless, he only really needs to do this if one of many following issues are acheived: – More than £5,000 has been left;- The need incorporates investments i.e. shares and shares;- There is a life insurance coverage policy; and- The testator leaves the useful interest in a property i.e. the deceased was a tenant in common.
When is a Grant of Letters of Administration wanted? If the executors below the will do not want to be involved in the distribution of the belongings, or the will didn't actually name an executor, the UK Probate Office will difficulty an administrator with a Grant of Letters of Administration (with will annexed). If there isn't a will (or no legitimate will) then the Probate Office will situation an administrator with a Grant of Letters of Administration alone. Why are these 'Grants' wanted? Mainly the executor or administrator of a deceased particular person's estate is unable to collect in any of the belongings with out first formally obtaining a Grant of Representation.
Some organisations will release small assets without having to see this first, but these are generally in the minority. You would need a Grant of Representation before you have been able to sell a property belonging to the deceased or entry any of the deceased's financial institution accounts. If nonetheless, the property or bank account was held in joint names then you might not require a Grant, the demise certificate alone may suffice. How can I apply to change into an administrator of an estate? These folks named as executors should be the first individuals who apply for a Grant.
If the Will does not name an executor or it does they usually have denied their duties, then the primary named beneficiary ought to take over. It's in the perfect interest of that beneficiary to distribute the property correctly.If there isn't any legitimate will then the deceased's next of kin can make an utility for a Grant of Representation. Candidates should be over 18 and the order or priority for software is as follows; spouse, issue (kids), parents, siblings after which different shut relatives. To apply for a Grant of Illustration you will need to fill within the appropriate software form (which is obtainable on-line) and return this to your native Probate Office together with the unique dying certificate and can (the place acceptable). Staff on the Probate workplace will take a look at your software and providing that your interview goes well and all your particulars are accurate.
Upon getting accomplished your interview, providing there are not any issues to cope with, the Grant must be sent to you in the post. If the Probate workplace deny your grant, they will provide a full reasoning for why this is. Can a solicitor apply on my behalf?Yes. It is usually a good idea to appoint a solicitor to use for the Grant in your behalf. A solicitor could either charge you on an hourly charge or by a % of the property, so it is important to ascertain which is the most suitable choice for you. A reliable UK probate solicitor will also be capable of deal with any inheritance tax issues before making use of for the Grant. Inheritance tax especially on larger or more diverse estates generally is a advanced matter, which is greatest dealt with by a professional. Please word any UK inheritance tax owed must be paid previous to a Grant of Illustration being issued.

Memory Triggered: When a credible candidate has worked in an absolute hell-hole where no one likes them, their organization or what they represent, guess what? They're probably going to kick #$$ in your company, because your piddly little troubles and drama actually look appealing to them. They're battle tested. They've been in the depths of hell, and your company's not hell – it's just El Paso in the summer.
Background: I used to be a Regional VP for Charter Communications, a major cable company that was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. No one likes the cable company, and for candidates who have to work in jobs interacting with the public in a cable company, they need to prepare for….the venom. Wearing the company shirt in the grocery store? You're going to hear about the unburied cable drop or the terrible service story. Comes with the territory.
It just so happened that I had to hire a peer on the leadership team to be our Director of Government Relations (PR, city councils, etc.). After a long search, I found our candidate – a guy who had actually been the PR director for a chemical weapons incinerator in Anniston, AL. Think about that for a second – a facility near a heavily populated area that was charged with destroying a stockpile of chemical weapons over time. If a small cloud comes out of that facility, it probably kills 1,000 people. In your backyard. My candidate's job was to tell everyone it was going to work out. To position the potential death facility as a jobs creator.
Wow. Anyway, the selling point of the candidate during the process was that "if I can take the heat required to calm people down related to mustard gas and other crazy weapons that do god knows what in their backyard, I can probably calm people down about cable".
Working in hell creates transferable skills. And if you see a yellow cloud emerge from the factory, please get in your car and turn on the air conditioner. That should take care of it.

|The term control and restrain (C&R) has been in common use in mental health practice for the past 20 years. This article explores the appropriateness of its continued use, drawing briefly on frame theory -- a subtype of discourse analysis. The authors conclude that, apart from a brief period in the 1980s, when the prison service oversaw training in physical interventions in the NHS, there has been confusion over the meaning of the term. Its continued use reflects an attribution whereby the primary source of violence prevention. However, any change in language must be accompanied by a shift in thinking and practice. The article puts forward a rationale for stopping the use of the term and calls for a radical change and the adoption of restraint reduction as a policy objective.
