Empowering Your Team
I blog quite a bit about teams: The value of teams, the increased productivity with teams and the lack of many things without unified, healthy, and motivated teams. We are in the age of teams, as opposed to the one-man (one-woman) show!
Brad Lomenick, the leader of "Catalyst," has some excellent thoughts on "Empowering Your Team."
Originally posted by Brad Lomenick on March 25, 2014
Leaders: one of the key things you must ALWAYS do is empower your team. As I've learned over the years, most leaders at their core are control freaks, which is part of the reason they are successful. But we all must learn and recognize the need to empower those around us to succeed and do what they do well.
Most leaders think they can do it all on their own, and many try, but ultimately in order to grow a successful organization that outlives you, as the leader, you have to empower those around you.
Here are a few thoughts on Empowering your Team:
1. Give them the opportunity to make decisions, and don't second guess them.
A lot of us as leaders are willing to allow our team members to make decisions, but want to step in as soon as we see something done differently than we would do. Don't make that mistake. It is totally demoralizing to your team. Believe me, I know from experience!!
2. Assign them responsibility by them owning key projects from START to FINISH.
So once we allow team members to make key decisions, now we have to allow them to own projects and feel the responsibility of completion.
3. Give them Freedom combined with Accountability.
Freedom without accountability can lead to a great place to work with nothing getting done. Accountability without Flexibility can lead to a terrible place to work with things getting done but everyone hating their job. These have to work together.
4. Fight for them.
Whether it's standing up for them to your boss, or standing beside them and supporting them in a disagreement with a vendor, always take the stance of fighting for them and being willing to go to battle for them.
5. Encourage them.
This is the one we so often forget. I know I do. I tend to keep pushing without stopping to say thanks. But encouragement can go the furthest in creating team chemistry, longevity, and commitment. Reward them with small gifts, extra unexpected bonuses, cards, etc. Be unexpected in your thankyous. Hand them out without bias. No one has ever been too much of a true encourager!
6. Counsel, coach and instruct.
Not necessarily the same as encouragement. Great coaches do this well. They scream at you and make you better, while also putting their arm around you and giving you "ego biscuits" when needed. Two different parts of empowering, but both equally important. Instruction is key for releasing again and again, and assigning more responsibility.
7. Overwhelm them.
Not on a continual basis, but ultimately your team members should constantly feel a bit overwhelmed by the projects or assignments they are working on, not underwhelmed. Many of their projects should cause them to feel like they are not prepared or ready. If they feel underwhelmed, they will probably end up looking elsewhere for greater assignments and more responsibility.
8. Give them permission.
Permission to take risks, to fail, to represent your organization to others, take on responsibility and stewardship, and many other things. But ultimately give them permission to push back. Give them permission to call you out as the leader (appropriately, of course). Give them permission to argue and fight for their idea, even when it looks like it's directly competing with your idea as the leader. Permission to push back. This does wonders.
I would leave to hear from you in the comment section below

Medications List
The Medications master list contains all medications (generic and brand name) that can be added to a patient's chart.
To open the list, in the Main Menu, click Lists, Medications, or double-click the Chart Medical, select the Medications tab and click Add Medication.
This tab lists all medications that have been entered, both generic and brand name.
Add Generic: Add a generic medication. Generic medications must be added before associated brand names can be entered.
Add Brand: Add a brand name medication. You must first select the associated generic medication.
Search: Filter the list of medications by drug name. As you enter characters matching results will show.
Import: Import a list of medications that was exported from Open Dental. Alternatively, a tab delimited txt file can be imported if using the following format. No header row, four columns: Drug Name, Generic Name, Blank Column, RxNorm Number.
Export: Export the medications list to a txt file.
All Medications grid: Medications are sorted alphabetically by default. To change the sort order, click on a column header.
To add or edit a medication:
RxNorm: Click [...] to associate the medication with a normalized RxNorms drug name. For EHR, all medications in your list should be attached to an RxNorm so that the medication, and any allergies to this medication, show on EHR Summaries of Care.
Drug Name: Enter the drug name as it will show in the master list.
Generic Name: Enter the associated generic drug name. When entering a brand name drug this field is auto-filled with the generic name.
Entering medications into the list will take a little extra time at first. It helps to divide the task among the assistants and the dentists. The assistants can look up the medication, ensure that the spelling is correct, and enter the generic and brand names. But they should not enter in any notes. Notes should only be entered by a dentist.
Dependencies: Click a dropdown to quickly view associated information about this drug.
Delete: Remove the medication from the master list. Medications in use by a patient, in the Allergy List, or as an EHR indicator cannot be deleted.
This tab shows for United States only. The medications in this list are imported from Legacy eRx, not created in Open Dental, and have likely been created in the Legacy eRx interface. This list will be empty if Legacy eRx has not been used.

Cliff Notes: Fantasies of Control (presentation and space); Appropriation of "Public" Space; Observation as Criticism; Criticism as Treat and Knife; City as Space as Studio
Exercise One (one hour):
Bring materials to build pedestal without the use of the wood shop. Build pedestal. Install pedestal with sound recording and object in atrium.
Exercise Two:
Observation as Criticism (90 minutes):
1. Make record of which pedestals are approached and which are not.
2. Make record of how much time is spent with the recordings and how the bodies that do not stop hold themselves.
3. Listen to a recording without observing the object. Observe your listening. How does your listening alter the object?
4. Observe the object without listening to the recording. How does your observation alter the recording? Or not?
5. Observe the object while listening to the recording.What did you not notice this time?
6. Use the remaining time to draw the pedestal without the object. The drawing is a critique.
7. Your notes and your drawing are both gift and a violence to the person who made this work. When is observation violent?

Chapman Kelley: "In March of 1976 at my Saturday art critique I challenged attendees with the proposition, "What would you do if you were able to do anything in the world?" After each student had been called on they turned the question back to me. By this time I was used to the conscious use of intuition that I had learned from author, inventor and futurist R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller at the University of Illinoissymposium called "Matrix for the Arts," in 1967 where I was a participant. The result of this learning had already brought me opportunities such as creating the Dallas-based art school the Northwood Institute, the Free University at Lee Park and the training of high school students in the arts as part of Mayor John Erik Jonsson's "Goals for Dallas" initiative. Once in a while I'd have the opportunity to share the following experience with others in my studio. I'd tell them how I had been travelling with my clients in their private planes. I suddenly realized that I could transpose both figuratively and metaphorically the flat concrete roads and runways of the new Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport with the nonfigurative elements of my paintings. The airport's general oval drainage areas among the runways were bordered with black top asphalt which mirrored the bands around the ellipses in my work; the only thing remaining was to install actual wildflowers in place of painted ones. Because of my close association with Françoise Gilot, Dr. Jonas Salk and Fuller's tutelage I realized the environmental benefits of cultivating wildflowers to an exacting new level, coupled with gaining the public's approval of a new aesthetic and replace the still-current preference for residential and commercial water-guzzling green lawns, that we should no longer tolerate because of the worldwide water crisis."…see: http://www.dallasarthistory.com/2012/07/chapman-kelleys-memoirs-chapter-11.html

QUEBEC CITY, Aug. 28 /CNW/ - Medical Intelligence Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: MIZ), a provider of innovative monitoring solutions for the mobile telecare industry, today announced its operational and financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008. Recent Highlights - Received firm order for 2,500 Urgentys Lone Worker GPS devices valued at Cdn$1.5 million - Signed a partnership agreement to test 100 Vega GPS Bracelets with the Mutualité Française Côte-d'Or Yonne - Received firm purchase orders for 500 Vega GPS Bracelets from Reial Automobil Club de Catalunya - Signed first commercialization license agreement with LUXGSM and received initial order of 300 units - Signed first license agreement in the U.K. with Masternaut Three X for Urgentys Lone-Worker "I am very proud to report that the investment we made since the beginning of the year to strengthen our operations and expand our product offering is delivering strong sales momentum," said Philippe P. Huneault, President and CEO of Medical Intelligence. "The quarter was highlighted by an order received in Spain for 2,500 Urgentys Lone-Workers, our new emergency GPS button for workers in remote locations. More recently, we successfully introduced our new licensing business model and signed two license agreements in new markets, Luxembourg and the U.K." "We now have an order backlog of 5,600 devices to be delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, which represents over $2.4 million in revenue. Looking forward, we expect to continue exporting our technology to other European regions and to expand our existing customer relationships to increase initial device orders." Financial Results Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008, totaled $31,000 compared to $23,000 for the corresponding period in 2007. Revenues for the quarter were comprised of mobile telesecurity and amortization of deferred revenues from the sale of equipment over the subscription period. Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $1,338,000 compared to $940,000 in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in selling expenses during the quarter reflect intensified sales efforts in Europe which resulted in an increase in salaries, traveling expenses, marketing expenses and general fees. General and Administrative ("G&A") expenses, before stock-based compensation, for the second quarter of 2008, totaled $893,000, compared to $554,000 in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in G&A expenses is mainly the result of an increase in legal and consulting fees. Research and development ("R&D") expenses, net of tax credits, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, totaled $229,000, compared to $185,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily related to an increase in salaries, components purchasing, offset by higher tax credits. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash provision for obsolete inventory totaling $1,287,000 of the first generation units manufactured in 2006. Considering the life cycle of its products and the recent launch of the second generation of its products, the Company has adopted a policy for obsolete inventory that provides for a total write-down of the value of its units three years after it has been assembled and a progressive write-down of 15% after one year of assembly and 50% following the second year. The Company intends to maintain this conservative approach for inventory valuation, but will continue its commercialization efforts in order to materialize the original cost of its products. Consolidated loss for the second quarter of 2008 was ($3,985,000) or ($0.054) per share (basic and fully diluted), compared to a loss of ($2,258,000) or ($0.033) per share in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in net loss during the quarter mainly reflects the previously mentioned provision for obsolete inventory. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenues totaled $58,000, compared to $39,000 for the corresponding period in 2007. Selling expenses for the first half of 2008 totaled $2,662,000, compared to $1,533,000 in the first half of 2007. G&A expenses and R&D expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, totaled $1,593,000 and $408,000 respectively, compared to $946,000 and $282,000 for the same period in the previous year. Consolidated loss for the first six months of 2008 totaled ($5,463,000) or ($0.074) per share, compared to a loss of ($3,464,000) or ($0.059) per share, for the first six months of 2007. As at June 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,741,000 compared to $8,514,000 as at December 31, 2007. As at August 22, 2008, Medical Intelligence had 73,560,484 common shares issued and outstanding.

Former England footballer Sol Campbell wants to run for Mayor of London.
The ex-Tottenham and Arsenal defender, who once infamously played against Morecambe FC, says he wants to succeed Boris Johnson when he steps down in 2016.
Campbell, 40, will take part in a Hustings event for the Conservative nomination for the mayoralty of the capital on July 4.
He said: "I'm going in with my eyes wide open. I know I'm not going to be a frontrunner."
Campbell won 73 caps for England and represented his country in six consecutive major tournaments, including three World Cups. He also scored in the Champions League final in 2006 when Arsenal lost to Barcelona and won two Premier League winners' medals.
In 2009 Campbell caused a stir when he walked out on League Two side Notts County after one match for the club, a 2-1 defeat to Morecambe at Christie Park.

1 joint = 5 cigs
so what? like we didnt know already, why does noone care about the fact that walking round in central london on a bad day for air pollution is like smoking 10 cigs ( i did read this somewhere?) sick of this government propaganda regarding cannabis. i dont smoke much myself, just a joint every now and again but apparently if i was to believe everything these 'scientific studies' show im going to be mental with lung cancer soon because all it takes is 1 joint apparently to potentially go mental lol nothing to do with any other factors is it haha
just maybe
This is old news. And organising your thoughts into easily digestible chunks of prose known as 'paragraphs' is the best way to not appear mentally ill.
This is especially important for this particular issue.
*off !
god maybe i am too
It's like a cabinet meeting in here
sort of.
"when i'm not here running the country
i'm off having a sneaky J with my butler and fellating a small boy"
so that means i used to smoke over 100 cigs per day at uni
i so dying
also drinking gives you bowel cancer, i had a fun time waking up to the today program this fair morn!
the most dangerous thing about cannabis
is clearly the fact that it is illegal and thus helps support organised crime
"first thing we do;
let's kill all the lawyers"
Because Shakespeare said so.
Best alibi ever? I think it might be, yes.
I think lawyers
were rather a different entity in the 1400s
The most organised crime in this country is that which seeks to perpetuate the image of Cannabis as some massive societal timebomb when alcohol consumption is responsible for a trail of violence - from strangers to wives - from ever since the first beer was downed. Moreover, it is DIRECTLY linked to tens of thousands of deaths a year - while Cannabis may or may not cause psychosis in users - sustained use of alcohol definitely causes mental health issues, like Wernicke's encephalopathy, as well as physical ailments like cirrhosis of the liver, ulcers and heart failure.
The hypocrisy.
I agree with everything you say here
though I was stating a point of view about cannabis rather than engaging in a 'zero sum' argument about the hypocrisy of law or the propaganda on behalf of industry lobby groups etc
interestingly though, if a young person is brought up with this propaganda and then tries a joint and has a positive experience with it they will almost certainly begin to feel that everything they've been told by The Government is a lie
Which is probably true
What if he does a shotgun and finds out that actually weed is evil and will freeze your face?
To your point about Cannabis encouraging organised crime - would you agree it's fair to say that if selling Cannabis is a profitable activity, it stands to reason that most of the profits from that activity would go back into obtaining more Cannabis in an effort to reap more profits? Furthermore, even though it's a certainty that it does happen - wouldn't you agree that it's not necessarily the case that a dope dealer as a matter of course funnels cash made from weed into other forms of organised, like say, the trafficking of sex slaves from shitty parts of the world to here?
I didn't say that cannabis encouraged organised crime
I said that it helped support it and I believe there are numerous connections to be made between cannabis consumption and crime on many different levels and this is how I arrived at my conclusion that the most dangerous thing about cannabis is its prohibition
in case I wasn't clear I SUPPORT (with certain caveats) the decriminalising, licensing and taxing of cannabis
well thats the thing
because of the law, many people end up, taking a substance that they do not prefer, and which causes (more?) harm.
Of course one suspects that the reason is a) because people could produce it themselves, thus rendering middlemen and business and therefore taxes redundant.......it is probably this aspect that actually counts with regards to governments.
It would also be a potential use to rulers (or princes (see machiavellis 'the prince'))
To randomly keep something outlawed, that is not unreasonable, in comparrisom to other non outlawed things, because (otherwise non criminal) non-conformists (who might present opposition to oppressive conformity measures) can all be classified as criminals, if the need ever arises.
us reasons too, but there is no point in going into them here, as unless one can view political intent, with an alternative viewpoint, such as machiavelli's 'the prince', it would do no good, as I would just spend all my time arguing fruitlessly with people saying that I cannot substantiate my ideas...and.
that Im a bit conspiricist
Let me just say that there are other reasons that could be used to assist those in power to control dissent through the technicalities and mechanisms of keeping something 'reasonable' 'outlawed' and thus those that indulge whether or not it is outlawed but because it is reasonable, yet reasonable (independant thinkers)
this post ^ is a mess......I thought Id got rid of the two last paragraphs
Ignore them...they make no sense, they were replaced by the third last para
Doh......you see what happens when once in a blue moon I do
actually edit my posts in an eattempt to make things more precise and clearer....I just muck it up through sheer incompetance
Not sure how appropriate the Prince theory is now that we have elected representatives instead of actual proper rulers - though obviously I understand you're just using it as an example.
I'd just say: Follow the money.
or was I being mischievious and using my normal description of 'rulers' (see my other posts re democratic rule/election weakness ad nauseum)
There is not as big a difference as you obviously believe (althought there are differences)
feel free to ignore me
Im being spartist here (as always) and Im off now so ignore that last post of mune)
It begs the question,
seen as people chain smoke and all. Why don't the government make smoking cigarettes illegal?
hmmmmm, I wonder...
I am sure a nice big joint
Is alot more satisfying than 5 cigarettes.
its been such a long time
(I wish I knew how to spell the noises Homer simpson makes)
I remember hearing a long, rambling lecture on the subject by one Howard Marks. He seemed to think this anti-weed thing dated back to the 20s, when newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, alarmed at the dent hemp was making in his lumber interests, used his paper to wage a black campaign against the evils of hash.
There's probably a garishly-coloured website somewhere on Google that goes into this in more depth.
an interesting google
(no garish colours)
"Cannabis hemp was legal tender (money) in most of the Americas from 1631 until the early 1800s. You could pay your taxes with cannabis hemp throughout America for over 200 years.
You could even be jailed in America for not growing cannabis during several periods of shortage, e.g., in Virginia between 1763 and 1767. "

The important thing to know about shopping in Chestertown on the Eastern Shore is that everything is two blocks away from everything else. That's only a slight exaggeration; the truth is you can park your car and happily spend the rest of the day on foot. What's more, the most interesting stores are located in the historic district. On a fine spring day, this Eastern Shore town is an easy, scenic place to shop.
Don't expect any chain stores. Rumor had it that a Chico's was going to move in, but that never materialized. Instead, Chestertown offers a mix of traditional small-town stores and intriguing, more upscale shops. Surprisingly, tourists seem to enjoy the former as much as the latter. They appreciate the personal service.
There's nary a Starbucks in sight, but Chestertown does have several nice little cafes where you can get lunch or afternoon tea. Hours of both shops and restaurants vary widely; this time of year you'll find more places open toward the end of the week.

Republic of Ireland coach Martin O'Neill is stalling on taking the Stoke City job.
The Mirror says O'Neill was approached late on Friday night after it appeared that Quique Sanchez Flores would be staying put in Spain.
He attended a dinner with sports' writers in Ireland on Friday but remained tight-lipped on his future.
But the fact he has refused to rule himself out of the running indicates that he maintains an interest in the position.
And his hand will have been strengthened further by the fact that he is third on Stoke's list – behind both Gary Rowett – who decided to stay at Derby County – and Flores.

Watch your Body Language to Pass the Personal Interview
November 05, 2011
Earning $0.30
The rules in regards to trying to get work happen to be at the mercy of huge adjustments lately. Previously, folks desired the hand-written software letter. It is getting increasingly typical today to find a vacancy on the net, and to try to get it through Internet also.
Quite often it is sufficient location your C.V. on the web. For this reason, the application form procedure usually will go more rapidly, and you will find yourself invited regarding a job interview before long. You will find information on the net about How to apply for work. Information can be found about how to write the job correspondence, the garments that you ought to wear and how to carry out the interview alone. The importance of gestures is usually pointed out, but will not constantly get the consideration that should get. All things considered, before a word has been vocal, the body vocabulary may have previously offered individuals their particular initial impression people.
What type of person are you?
Through the use of phrases you can describe which kind of education you've received and what expertise you've got gained since that time. You can also show through phrases you know what you are discussing and you will respond to questions to clarify issues. Concurrently nonetheless, your system terminology will also give out far more info. Based on your system terminology it may be noticed in the event that you come across since insecure or self-assured. It can also show if you're a hectic or a calm type plus it helps provide the feeling associated with if you are talking in all honesty or otherwise not. Body gestures can present should you not necessarily prone to tension. It may show just how excited you're and if you're a good particular person, someone who will require their work severe, but in addition somebody who has a feeling of humor and will have a joke every once in awhile. The members with the program Panel may request information, but your responses won't simply be oral. The Committee will not only focus on what you say, but also to be able to the way you state that! Gestures can decide first if it 'clicks', and often all it takes is a few moments. Everyone uses gestures; nevertheless it occurs mainly at an unconscious stage. Via increasingly conscious of your personal body gestures, but also via identifying the body vocabulary of other people, adhere to what they increase your chances of getting the work.
Take note of period!
It could be the cliché to speak about arriving in time for a job interview; however it remains important to bring it for your attention anew. The frame of mind or attention to time may also send out non-verbal emails. A job interview for a work can be regarded as a very important consultation, and arriving too far gone to your consultation is actually consequently totally undesirable. Absent the bus or perhaps acquiring stuck in a visitors quickly pull are usually quite dull justifications. In the end, for a crucial visit like this you ought to have obtained which into account. It is greater to reach much too early than actually a tad too late! If you're too soon to your visit you don't need to use immediately. Occasionally it's safer to stroll about a little inside the local community, simply because holding out for some time in the passageway or a 'sweatbox' won't perform the nerves worthwhile. If it is cold outdoors, It might be smart to go back inside about 10 mines just before your own consultation simply because It can be extremely unpleasant to have to shake an ice-cold hands.
The very first achieving
Once you've declared yourself on the reception in order to an employee of the company, you will frequently be asked to sit back. After a while an individual will come to be able to cause you to the interview region. Do not hop upward immediately and gives this person a handshake. It really is safer to let each other will take the actual motivation. Shake hands firmly, although not as well powerfully and appear straight at the other person. Afterward you are going to be introduced to the actual (additional) members of the application Panel. During this introduction it is better simply to walk around the table to tremble fingers using the Committee members, instead of inclined on the stand. Along with each greeting seem immediately with each other, and state your company name. Aside from an interior application, do not think that other individuals realize your name.
Deciding on the best couch
After the preliminary intro you can expect to end up being directed to take it easy. If you are remaining to select a place yourself, pick a location through to obviously see every one of the job interview members, and through exactly where they could also see you. If someone will be sitting fifty percent behind you, and you can't actually see your pet, he may not really get this type of great impression people due to this.
Melody your system healthy posture
In your appointment attempt to adopt a healthy posture in which exhibits curiosity but still comes across as being calm. This can be achieved by sitting up straight inside your seat at the beginning of an interview; with you're again in opposition to the rear of the seat. Should you slouch or perhaps hang sideways in your seat, it may provide the impact that you're not which enthusiastic about the job. Nevertheless, looking at the extra edge of your chair may come across as being a little tense and might provide the impact that you feel not comfortable.
It is possible to make positive changes to physique posture just a little through the meeting. As an example, any time somebody claims something It is good to make a little with your shoulder blades towards this person and also to slim ahead somewhat. This kind of shows a desire for what the other person says. It is possible to stress this particular simply by tilting your face just a little. It's also crucial to concentrate on the particular position of your interview companions. In some instances you are able to accomplish shared tuning through taking on exactly the same position as each other.
How to handle both hands?
Likewise as when you are giving an exhibit, many people often respect their particular hands since hurdles during interviews rather than a useful method of communication. That is why folks often ask what to do with their palms. In the challenging scenario we're usually inclined to be able to retract our hands around your body. This can help to provide all of us a far more safe sensation. In the course of the interview it is best to avoid this particular, due to the fact Flip-style your hands could be construed being a protective move. It is better to allow the hands rest freely on your own lap or even place them about the armrests of the couch. From these jobs it is also an easy task to support what you are saying together with palm actions.
Actions: an engaged meeting?
Hand motions can also help to be able to decorate an interview. The fact that you challenge to create movements together with your fingers in the course of an interview might show that you feel comfortable quickly. Generally it is better not to help make way too many hands actions at the beginning of the job interview but add these slowly throughout the job interview. As regards this, focus on your own interview companions as well: when they make use of their fingers a great make issues obvious, adhere to what they do that too. When they will not help make many movements, it is best if you do not possibly. The same much like body position, you should track your motions to people regarding each other. Additionally take note of unavoidable movements that you may help to make sometimes as a result of anxiety. For example, shuffling along with your ft or perhaps throwing against the lower leg of a table can be quite irritating for other people. Drumming along with your fingertips or even pressing with a dog pen also definitely won't be a fantastic share towards the interview. So take notice!
When in case you take a look at whom?
In the course of the job interview you should look at the interview partners to and the same extent. Through looking directly with your partner we are giving them an indication of trust. By searching immediately from individuals we have been also in charge of the particular dialogue. Seeking immediately at someone or perhaps searching apart actually serves as the actual facts and also commas within vocal content. Whenever among the Panel people describes something or even poses a matter, retain taking a look at this person provided he or she is talking. This demonstrates you might be listening. When he will be talking he might also go through the other folks, but each and every time he desires to emphasize one thing He can look at you again. Then you're able to nod to be able to inspire your pet to keep chatting. At the end of their query, He'll maintain taking a look at you and after that tip their mind upward just a little to invite one to provide an answer. Once you solution an issue, you will appear first from the person who asked the particular question, but when you response you should take turns looking at the some other job interview companions also. You need to primary yourself once more to be able to the person who asked the issue when you want in order to emphasize some thing and at the conclusion of one's response.
Furthermore pay attention to the body language of the interview partners
Besides watching your own personal body gestures, it's also crucial that you observe your meeting lovers tend to be behaving. The actual postures as well as motions regarding other people can give you an impact of the method that you are usually sounding to them. This can serve as an alert from an early phase which you might do something wrong that you're not knowing. As an example, when the Committee associates are usually from the view which you support the flooring for days on end or else you irritate all of them with your distractions, they are going to present their discomfort at first by means of their body terminology. When the Panel members wring their particular heads, sigh or even fold their own biceps and triceps and also lean back, it is possible to get this particular as an indication of displeasure. Usually it is not however past too far to improve this kind of. The thing is, in addition, it relates to your own interview companions in which their body vocabulary takes place unconsciously. However, don't wait too much time due to the fact then their particular soreness can exchange to their mind.
Do not concern yourself an excessive amount of about anxiety
Understanding of body gestures will help you enhance the mutual focusing through the meeting. This can be used understanding to cover up your own anxiety a little, but actually this is something you mustn't concern yourself with an excessive amount of. Several candidates tend to be stressed throughout a job interview not to mention they'd much favor never to allow this to anxiousness present. However, it isn't these kinds of bad to be stressed. The Panel associates will appreciate this. The nervousness may even show that you're feeling this job is important to you personally. In the event you weren't anxious, and therefore sit somewhat mellow, it could reveal that you are not in which fascinated. Also understand in which an interview is more than just a means for the boss to ascertain which from the individuals will be the best option for the position. The interview specifically is really a minute regarding common acquaintance. It's an initial meeting with individuals which you might soon work together along with. Hence the manager should sometimes be just as anxious while you!

City parents worried about kids' exposure to TV, internet
Overexposure to the media — films, TV and the internet — is Mumbai parents' topmost concern about their children, according to an HT-C fore survey conducted late last month.mumbai Updated: Jun 15, 2011 01:12 IST
Overexposure to the media — films, TV and the internet — is Mumbai parents' topmost concern about their children, according to an HT-C fore survey conducted late last month.
Increasing consumerism among children and their vulnerability to marketing propaganda ranked as the second-most serious parenting challenge, with boredom and short attention spans coming in third.
C fore conducted the survey for HT among a statistically selected sample of 523 Mumbai parents with children between 5 and 15 years of age. These families are nuclear and both parents have jobs outside the home.
Respondents were asked to rate ten concerns in order of seriousness (see page 2 for full results of the survey). These ten concerns were provided by a panel of psychologists and counsellors.
"My husband himself is a computer games freak," said Gauri Mevati, 31, a mid-level executive who lives and works in Navi Mumbai. "So my greatest fear is that my five-year-old son, Aryaman, will get addicted to these games, most of which are violent."
She also worries about him being influenced by advertisements and marketing, which is related to an overexposure to television and the internet. Peer pressure also plays a role in children's growing consumerism, she finds.
She says Aryaman insists on eating fast food such as pizza and burgers whenever they go out, partly because he often sees his elder cousins eating these items. In the first part of our series 'New-age parenting', on page 2, we take you to the homes of three parents grappling with similar challenges.
Yet Mevati also says with some clever negotiation and a lot of patience, parents can gently counter influences they find harmful. Also, they need to set an example, she says. "Communication is very important," she says. "It can get very tiring, but you have to keep talking to your child."
Tomorrow, read about parents tackling these various challenges. Finally, on Friday, read about parenting challenges relating to education, school and learning, and possible ways to address them.

Two words? you may be wondering. Or maybe just plain, What the heck language are you talking? Well, if you were watching the finals of the National Spelling Bee last night, you'd know these were the words that tripped up the second- and third-place finishers, leaving a 13-year-old Kansas girl to win with the word Laodicean (which my Webster's defines as "lukewarm or indifferent in religion or politics, taken from the reproach of the Laodiceans in Revelations).
I watched the last six rounds of the spelling bee, and I have to admit that of the last 21 words, I only could spell two of them: Caerphilly, a Welsh cheese, and guayabera, a type of Latin American shirt. Even worse, I only even recognized two of the other words that were used.
One of those words was menhir, which means "a single upright rude monolith, usually of prehistoric origin." I think I've actually seen one, near Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall, but I couldn't think of the correct spelling before the TV flashed it on the screen. If pressed, I might have gotten it, but the French origin might have thrown me.
As for Maecenas, meaning "a generous patron, especially of literature or art," I went the same way as the kid who misspelled it, starting it m-y-c- instead of m-a-e-c. I hadn't heard of this word, but I recalled the Mycenaean people of the Bronze Age Mediterranean. Maecenas is from Latin, though, so that should have been a tip-off. It would have been for the winner, who clearly knew her word derivations, and used them to get the right spelling even if she didn't recognize the word.
Perhaps if I hadn't been affected by nerves during my own middle-school spelling bee, I would have thrown myself into studying word origins and language roots. But after winning the eighth-grade division, nerves led me to stutter during the all-school bee, and say an extra letter when I didn't mean to. Tragedy! Or maybe not; now looking at words is a fun distraction for me, and not the focus of study and stress and competition. I'm amazed at all the kids who competed, and hope the love of words lasts them a lifetime.

Thank you. Your response has been recorded.
Your feedback helps us keep the game fun for you and other geocachers. Your feedback is only visible to Geocaching.com admins.
Please enter all ratings before submitting.

While on vacation in December, 2013, we found the geocache Geocaching from A to Z in Volusia. This inspired us to create a similar challenge cache in our home territory of Westchester County, New York.
The Challenge
After finding the twenty-six caches, create a public bookmark list (select the Public and Shared options so everyone can see it) and include the link to that list with your Found It log. Alternatively, you may list each cache, including the GC number and cache name, in your Found It log.
Here is our Westchester County A-Z bookmark list as an example.
The Rules
- There are NO date restrictions for this Challenge! If you found all twenty-six letters of the alphabet in Westchester County, New York, whether it was last week or 5 years ago, then you meet the qualifications to find and log the final (just don't forget about the bookmark or list requirement).
- All caches on your list must be located in Westchester County, New York! Watch out for caches along county lines!
- All cache types (past, present and future) are allowed for this Challenge: Traditional, Multi-cache, Unknown (Mystery), Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache, Virtual, Webcam, Wherigo, Event, Mega Event, CITO, Locationless, Project APE, and GPS Adventures Exhibit.
- If the cache name begins with "A" it counts as your "A" cache, if it begins with "The" it counts as your "T" cache, you get the idea how this works, right?
- This Challenge is open to everyone regardless of your home state.
- Hides will not count, only finds.
- This challenge cache will NOT count for your "W" cache. No worries, there are plenty of other "W" caches to be found.
- The officially recognized FTF of this Challenge cache is the cacher who completes the challenge, has their bookmark list published (or posts their list), finds this cache and signs the log first.
Most important, have fun! And enjoy your stroll down memory lane while building that list!
If you haven't yet qualified, feel free to visit the cache, pick up or drop off trackables, and post a note for your visit. But in order to log a find you must visit the cache and sign the log AFTER you have fulfilled the challenge requirements.
NOTE: The cache is at the published coordinates!
The Location
The cache is located in North Castle, New York, at Wampus Pond, a Westchester County park. Named after the Indian from whom this land was bought in 1696, Wampus Pond means "opossum." A recent cultural resources inventory performed by Parker Harrington indicates that early 20th century rock shelters, several Native American artifacts and remnants of hist

Kate Calina was born in Bronx, New York, to a medieval historian and his lovely wife, a Latin scholar. From a young age Kate explored works of literature and classical legend, delving deeply into world mythology. She majored in the Great Books and pre-medical sciences, pondering the writings of Dante and Dostoyevsky, Jane Austen and T.S. Elliot. After graduating from Notre Dame, she completed medical school. During those years, Kate worked with the homeless, helping people in the midst of upheaval. As a pediatric resident in Sacramento, California, she devoted much of her time to providing care to Ukrainian and Hmong refugees.
Kate has established a thriving medical practice in the Rocky Mountains. In the midst of caring for her patients, she has taken an active role in all things Pediatric. She travels throughout the state, speaking before audiences great and small on behalf of the children of her state. She's been a lead coordinator of literacy programs for her practice, placing thousands of books in the hands of young readers.
Ever engaged in literature, Kate explores works of fiction, history, science and poetry. She loves Asian classics like The Journey to the West, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She transforms life experiences into complex characters in settings that span the globe. Kate connects with people in every stage of life, in bus stations in New York, the reservations of South Dakota, the projects of Chicago, and the Tijuana dump. In a world touched by joy and deep suffering, she seeks answers to the challenges confronting our lives.
Kate has written a work of fantasy, exploring themes close to her heart. In her first book, Arid Rider, she's created a vibrant world set in the lands of the East, dancing through mysterious and complex ideas—love and knowledge, compassion, death, and the world beyond the grave. This realm of ancient races— wizards and the high orders of the djinn—has been created by an author with a distinctive understanding of what lies beyond the surface of things. Kate's ready to connect with those who share her excitement, delivering compelling and passionate words with a savvy that comes from years of public speaking and story-telling.
This new series begins with Arid Rider, flowing powerfully into the next book, The Flight of the Charadrius. The second book expands a world of wonder. The immensity pours out into glaciers and deserts, rumbling into cavernous places hidden far from human eyes. New creatures emerge—fiery carbuncles, towering chomnail, mischievous banderil—appearing unexpectedly as three princes confront a host of malevolent beings. It is a mysterious world, caught between hope and human misery, lifted up by creatures capable of greatness.

Summer finally have awakened from its hibernation (which is, by the way, too fricking long). And as much as it's a fuel for our laziness, this is usually the time most teenagers' brain children are born; boredom imposes creativity in our systems, thus pushing us to go crazy and make things that we were afraid or too busy to do. In relation, Collars and Bones (which was called 'Trend Lollipop' back then *cringes*) will be celebrating its first birthday on April 9, but more of that in another post.
I can feel that this would be my most resourceful summer yet (but maybe that's just the overenthusiastic me speaking), with a blog to run and a guitar that I have to learn how to play. I'm also trying badminton (pray for me because I'm actually going to play a real sport) and going to multiple beach trips. And as you can see, I haven't written anything for quite a while because I ran out of pages in my journal (which is weird because somehow my brain stopped functioning at the same time), so I'd try to reintroduce myself to myself, and we'll see how far that'll go.
Well, I'm just blabbering now, so I'll see you guys in a bit. Here's a Don't Speak cover by Alex Preston, hope you have a serendipitously sweet summer ahead xx

True Science vs. pseudo science?! Wikipedia at one time had this page on a promising occupation known as the "DHMO tester." Look at this page to learn about DHMO. Then look at the "authoritative" web page on DHMO. Do a web search on DHMO. Amazing that the city officials of Aliso Vejo suffered embarrassment for not checking their sources when considering legislation on banning styrofoam cups!
Taking Scholarship Seriously. This student put together a biography web project on Toni Morrison but may have been sloppy when linking to web sites. Scroll down and click on the link "Martin Luther King" to what she thought was an authoritative site. Why would she have thought it was authoritative as say The Martin Luther King Center? For information on Stormfront, the institution that is sponsoring martinlutherking.org, you can read about them in the Library's print copy:
Extremist Groups: Information for Students Reference: HN90 .R3 E975 2006
Whoops! The student should be checking and evaluating the resources she finds, shouldn't she?
With these two examples above, would the Odones be going to Google first or going to a Library or the National Institute of Health's National Library of Medicine onlline? Should Google be the starting point in research?

It's July in Dallas. We're looking at weeks on end with temps in the hundreds. Other places have wicked humidity along with the heat.
At times like this it becomes increasingly challenging to keep a good grip on a golf club. It's tough enough to stay hydrated and upright without having to worry about the club slipping out of your hands.
I've found that on really hot and humid days your best bet for getting a grip is to wear a rain glove. They're usually not lined, like the cold weather gloves, but they're specifically designed for providing grip in wet circumstances. I usually keep them on for putting and everything. If the environment is particularly severe I've been known to wear two rain gloves, to help with my right hand grip as well.
Plus, you'll look like a Bad Ass with the black gloves on.
Keep'em in the short stuff.

Tyre Cafe – They Sell Hin Hwa Mee Sua
We have more and more interesting cafes in Singapore. At the newly renovated Wilkie Edge, there is a restaurant called "Tyre Cafe". No no, most of the dishes here are not related to tyres. In fact, this tyre cafe's specialty dish is Hin Hwa Mee Sua ($6.90).
The boss of the cafe, Kevin, is a Hin Hwa. His grandfather cooked Hin Hwa Mee Sua and they will usually eat this early in the morning on the first day of lunar new year because the noodles are very long, signifying longevity.
The Hin Hwa mee sua are much thicker than the usual mee sua. Kevin said, it is very difficult to get this type of noodles in Singapore. He got his noodles from a 70 year old uncle who imports the noodles in. A bowl of Hin Hwa Mee Sua is very filling. The soup is clear chicken soup. Fried eggs, mushrooms, seaweeds and peanuts are a must to top off the dish. Of course there are fried shallots to go with it.
Inspired by the typical Kong Ba Bun, Tyre Burger ($2.20) replaces the pork belly with teriyaki chicken or beef. We had the beef tyre burger, it was tender.
Besides the usual prawns, cockles, thick beehoon, slices of fish cake and sprinkle of laksa leaves, their Nonya Laksa ($5.90 with prawns) is of a much fragrant coconut based gravy. Abit too spicy for me and their cockles are fully cooked.
I enjoyed their Teriyaki Chicken ($7.90). It has flavourful teriyaki, rice, fruits and chilled tofu.
The concept of this eatery is about sports cars, with big-sized posters of Lamborghini, Ferrari and other sports cars plaster on the wall.Its tables is made of inflated big tyres.
Like I said, there is no exact link between the food and the name of the restaurant, except for the tyre tables you see in the photo. I was actually hoping they have a more extensive menu or introduce a few more Hin Hwa dishes.

The conference will feature sessions on cross-channel and influencer marketing, the effective use of music in brand strategy, the emergence of the Indian and Chinese markets and the art of playlisting.
This 8th edition of the FMF follows seven successful years of growth, which have seen an array of music tech companies, entrepreneurs, musicians & music industry related executives descend on Barcelona for three days of lively discussion focused on where the music industry is heading and how its key players are driving change, innovation and improvements in best practice across the board. Participants have included Shazam, Beggars Group, Spotify, 8Tracks, EMI, Sony, Soundcloud and many more.

FMF Features 3rd Edition of London Sync Sessions in 2017
FMF Founder, Niall Doorley says of the decision to host the Sync Sessions at this year's event, "LSS has quickly become the definitive and must-attend event for all in the world of sync and perfectly complements our offering at FMF. They bring a focused cohort of the best of the sync and publishing world to our global cross-sector of industry attendees. What delegates experience when they attend the conference is an intimate gathering of like-minded industry professionals, frank discussions about the business' landscape and the opportunity to network with an international community of forward-thinkers and decision-makers." LSS Co-Founder and Head of Metropolis Creative, Rupert Hollier, adds, "FMF has established itself as one of the most authentic and highest quality industry conferences on the European agenda, so it seemed a natural event partner for us. LSS provides attendees with an opportunity to engage with in-depth discussions about the role of synchronisation in the music industry, with contributions from CEOs, publishers, record labels, film and TV producers, supervisors and composers, and has fast become something of a Mecca for those in our sector of the industry, so brings a new element of detailed focus to the overall FMF content."

LSS organisers, Metropolis Music Publishing (MMP), are delighted to announce their partnership this year with Coversion, a sync-focused covers catalogue, which will launch at the Barcelona event and are the headline sponsors for the LSS. LSS Organiser, David Fish, Publishing and Sync Manager at Metropolis, says, "We are excited to have Coversion on board this year. The catalogue's Co-founder Janesta Boudreau comes from a distinguished background in sync and her team of music supervisors, producers and artists are bringing something fresh and relevant to the sync market, making Coversion the perfect fit for LSS." Coversion Co-Founder Boudreau adds, "We're really happy to be working with the LSS team. The event really is the go-to on the sync and publishing calendar, so we are looking forward to hosting a panel and introducing delegates to the Coversion catalogue at our dedicated launch during the event."

Deco: Tiger Street Football fantastic for Asia
Tiger Street Football is set to roar its way onto the streets of Singapore, for its final showdown.
The fourth edition of the regional football tournament was kicked off in style by Asia Pacific Breweries' Head of Marketing, Mr Rene de Monchy, Anderson Luis de Souza (better known as Deco) and the former Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder's famous Portuguese friends, striker Nuno Gomes, defender Paulo Ferreira, midfielder Maniche and goalkeeper Vitor Baia at a press conference on Friday morning, at the Singapore Sports Hub's Riverside Walk.
The latest edition of Tiger Street Football promised to uncage football from its traditional shackles and breathe new life into the game and it delivered, as matches in Cambodia and Mongolia were played at a frenetic and mesmerising pace, keeping the players as well as the spectators on their feet.
Speaking at the press conference, Deco revealed his happiness to be the ambassador.
"The experience of Tiger Street Football is fantastic for Asia, for fans and for the players and also for me because street football reminds me of why I love football, playing with friends on a small pitch, inventing different skills to win," he said.
The pitch has also been made bigger allowing the matches to be truly uncaged, encouraging expansive play from the teams.
In Singapore, Deco and his friends will be teaming up to play an exhibition match against players selected specially by Deco.
It was also announced that Singaporean Eric Yap will be the lucky fan who will be enjoying a once in a lifetime experience, playing as the sixth man on Team Deco.
When asked on his advice for Yap, Deco responded, "He needs to help us, because we can't run much anymore!"
With a prize of USD40,000 up for grabs for the ultimate winner, there will surely be plenty of anticipation ahead of the final showdown, on Saturday at the Tiger Street Football Grand Final.

Www Bronchitis - Cigarette Smoking - a Significant Threat Element of Persistent BronchitisPersistent bronchitis is a very common breathing illness that involves swelling and infection of the bronchial tubes, mucosal membranes and tissues. The disease appears by an overproduction of mucus that leads to temporary obstruction of the respiratory tracts. In the first phases of chronic bronchitis, the illness just affects the significant air passages, generating milder and less relentless symptoms. Nevertheless, in more advanced phases of chronic bronchitis all air passages are affected, preventing the appropriate oxygenation of the lungs due to noticable blockage of the respiratory tract. As the disease advances even more, persistent bronchitis victims might cultivate serious problems at the level of the lungs. Complicated kinds of persistent bronchitis information and prevention or pneumonia.
An interesting reality is that chronic bronchitis likewise has a high occurrence amongst former smokers, recommending the long-daytona state college by cigarette smoking to the organism. Physicians sustain that it takes a number of months or perhaps years till the unwanted effects of smoking cigarettes at the level of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems vanish completely. On the premises of genetic predispositions for breathing, lung or cardio-vascular diseases, routine smokers are even more vulnerable to cultivating chronic bronchitis. We have omitted unimportant information from this structure on Bronchitis Symptoms as we though that unnecessary details might make the reader bored of checking out the structure.
Smokers that struggle with persistent bronchitis are recommended to quit cigarette smoking for good. Although it might take a while up until the respiratory tissues and organs are completely restored and cured from the results of smoking cigarettes, timely stopping this self-destructive habit can prevent the incident of additional complications. Nonetheless, the absence of smoking speeds up the procedure of healing from persistent bronchitis, reducing the risks of regression.
Herbal remedies for bronchitis signs or symptome einer bronchitis can be discovered by going to ***** About the Author: We take pride in saying that this post on Bronchitis is like a jewel of our articles. This short article has been accepted by the public as a most useful short article on Bronchitis.
Recent data expose that there are more than 14 million people with chronic bronchitis in the United States. Around 17 percent of general chronic bronchitis cases are identified in routine smokers while around 12 percent of cases are diagnosed in former smokers. Studies in the field suggest that routine cigarette smokers are 85 percent more exposed to cultivating persistent bronchitis than non-smokers. The danger of cultivating chronic bronchitis is directly proportional with the number of cigarettes smoked.

September Numbers
Jerry & Kevin- U.Co-op trip Aug,2011
We are well into the late season here at Forrest Lodge and the bite continues to prove that Caribou Lake produces some trememdous numbers of walleye. Fishing has been productive in the 20-40 foot zone with any combination of approaches. Of course live bait rigging still produces the best bite. I used a 1/8 oz chartruese tipped with anything from minnow to leech to crawler and the "Gulp" stuff and did equally as well. Rubber tails and other soft baits takes a little softer touch but produce some good eaters. We had a nice Laker come in the other day that took a minnow on a walleye rig. Lakers are in the fall spawn pattern now and moving into shallow water. Stick baits and spinners will get the best action now on Lakers. Setting up with down riggers is still another approach but not as effective this time of year. These two fellows have a couple of nice smokers that they pulled up using a vertical jig over the edge of the breaking reef. The September size limit is on now and October is the close of Lake Trout.
Smoothrock fire,Sept,2011
The fire season is coming to an end finally. We had several nervous days here as the smoke and ash fallout was heavy at times. The rains came just in time and also helped to cool the lake water and get the fish into a fall pattern. So far we have not had a frost here along the shore of Caribou Lake but up at the top of the ridge and in town has seen several frosty mornings. The weather has been great for fishing so far but our moose hunters are not seeing much activety. Moose need a few cold nights to help get them moving. Yesterday we saw 72f here and today looks like a repeat. Clear brilliant sky with calm winds. Just a few more fishing partys in this year then Capt MaryJo and I get to spend some extended time on the water. We do get to fish together during the season, but only for short trips. One of us needs to be available for our guests at all times so we plan accordingly and on occassion even meet up with some of our guests on the water. When I'm not guiding and just out fishing it gives us a chance to get to explore and try new equipment. One thing we have learned over the years is that cheap equipment is just that, and on the other hand, a $100 fishing rod catches just as many fish as a $500 rod. A reel with multiple bearings is better than a reel with a few, and a quality 6-7 foot medium fast rod works well for me. I still like a good quality mono line that doesn't break the bank to spool up. I have never suggested one product over another or one manufacturer over another but I must say buy American as much as possible and remember.......THINK WALLEYE!

Time for a little update. Everything seems to be going well. I finally have a tomato plant and a bean plant growing. Here's a few pictures to show the progress my little plants are making. I'll soon be able to start cropping at the salady bits.
Here's a picture of my potatoes, they are coming along nicely, though I am a bit worried that I've not quite done it right after seeing some tips on the dreaded flashing box in the corner of the room. If I don't get many potatoes I'll put it down to experience and try the suggestion off the telly.
The single little tomato plant is still a little tiny to photograph properly. I've been offered some plants by a friend at work who have ended up with too many seedlings so my little plant will have company soon. :)
The following pics are provide a general update on how everything is coming along.

What is important to you? What do you focus on? How is your day shaped around what is important to you and your true desired focus? Most people will profess that something is important to them and then spend their day around other energy that has nothing to do with their values or desires. If you ask them why, they tell you that they need to make a living or they come up with other excuses. True, all things show up when they are supposed to but if you are not devoting your energy to what is aligned with you, you will continue to do what you feel needs your focus and not what is aligned with your values and desires. As you tell the Universe that you don't have time for what you desire, you will expand what you focus on. If that isn't what you want in your life, you need to shift how your energy is spent.
For those who are caring for other people, see if there is a way to delegate some responsibility to other people. Find a way to create some balance so that you do have time for what is important to you. If you don't know what is important to you, spend time evaluating that for yourselves. First, you must have clarity before you can create a life that is aligned with you and your spirit.
Last weekend, I met someone who told me that he was just open. There wasn't a line to see him. What he invoked was too general and didn't attract what was right for him. You can be open and make an invocation like, I attract the people who belong with me and the work that is aligned with my soul's purpose. There is an open energy to that invocation but it streamlines the energy right for you. That creation will be much more fulfilling than just being open. I was focused on just being open to the flow. I realize the need to align the flow with my purpose. That seems to be the piece that makes things show up. Another way to focus the energy is ask what your focus needs to be for the day.

Entries in las vegas valley (2)
Preservation Spotlight: Mark Hall-Patton, historian
You've probably seen on on TV- from the local access Clark County channel to History Channel's Pawn Stars to talking with the late Huell Howser on Road Trip, Mark Hall-Patton is one of the most recognizable faces of local history.
With his Amish-like beard, ever-present Atwood hat and relaxed manner, Mark has become a favorite of producers when they want someone to talk about Las Vegas Valley history. He oversees the Clark County Museum system, including the Clark County Museum out on Boulder Highway - the home of Heritage Street, the Searchlight Museum and the Cannon Aviation Museum at McCarran Airport.
He also is the history advisor on the very popular Pawn Stars cable show. Despite his busy schedule and the fact he was planning an out-of-town trip, we were able to persuade him to answer a few questions.
CLV Blog: How did you become interested in Las Vegas history?
MHP: I came to the Vegas area in December 1993 to help create and manage a museum at McCarran International Airport. Now known as the Howard W. Cannon Aviation Museum, I had to do a great deal of research to know the history I was presenting.
As a local historian anywhere I reside, I began researching Las Vegas and Clark County history. I found our history interesting, but with many holes which led me to more research. In 2008 I was asked by the County to take over the entire Clark County museum system (3 museums, including the Clark County Museum, Searchlight History Museum, and the Cannon Aviation Museum).

H&R Block's software is a solid contender in the crowded market for tax software, and its network of brick-and-mortar locations offers a warm, fuzzy security blanket. The interface is straightforward and easy to use, and the free version is one of the best on the market.
Quick facts
- Early in the tax season, the free version includes support for Schedule A, meaning itemizers can use it
- 12,000 locations and options to get face-to-face help
- For the price you pay, you won't get best-in-class features
H&R Block's prices
Earlier in the tax season, H&R Block's free software filed all three versions of the 1040 (1040EZ, 1040A and regular 1040 with a Schedule A). Finding the 1040 included in the free version of software is a rarity in the marketplace, which makes it a pity that the company only offered it for a limited time this year: The free version now works only with the 1040EZ and 1040A.
As for the paid versions, H&R Block is a solid choice. It's not as flashy as TurboTax, but it'll get you from Point A to Point B on your tax return without any trouble. And at list price, it isn't discount software, but it's also generally not the costliest option either. All of this makes it a solid choice for value-seekers who still want sturdy support options and modern features.
The list price of H&R Block's highest-end package is cheaper than the comparable package from TurboTax, which means self-employed people or folks with rental properties could save a few bucks here.
Available packages and list prices
|Free edition
|Federal: $0
State: $29.99
This option allows you to file a 1040EZ or 1040A (for a limited time early in the tax season, it also did the 1040 with a Schedule A). The free version can't store your tax return (paid versions can store for six years).
|Federal: $49.99
State: $39.99
Good for itemizers, but if you're filing a Schedule C-EZ (for freelancers with very simple expenses), you'll need to buy the Premium version.
|Federal: $69.99
State: $39.99
If you're an investor or have rental property (that is, you need to file a Schedule D or Schedule E), this is for you.
|Federal: $94.99
State: $39.99
New this year, this package does it all for small business owners, freelancers and independent contractors. It also imports Uber driver tax information and integrates with the expense-tracking app Stride Tax.
One note about prices: Providers frequently change theirs. We'll keep updating this review, but you can verify the latest price by clicking through to H&R Block's site.
H&R Block also offers desktop software, but it's not part of our review. Desktop means your return doesn't reside in the cloud; it stays on your computer while you work on it. People who have used the desktop version before will see a cosmetic difference with the cloud, but the steps are similar — and, of course, the math is the same.
H&R Block's features and ease of use
H&R Block's interface is good-looking, straightforward and easy to use, plus there are handy tools like a W-2 photo import, which lets you avoid time spent keying in numbers from little boxes. Because the software is online, you can log in from other devices if you choose to work on your return here and there.
Help is available within the preparation process — many terms are hyperlinked so that you can read a definition or get more information, and the software is quick to send confused users to a searchable knowledge base. Like most software packages, a banner running across the top keeps track of where you are in the return process.
All versions will import last year's return from TurboTax, Tax Act, Credit Karma or any other tax prep company, and you can import your 1099s, too. The free version does not automatically import last year's return, though.
The mobile app was redesigned this year. On it you can upload photos of your W-2s and 1099s (two less things to key in, right?), and you can do your return entirely in the app if you want.
Support options with H&R Block
H&R Block's online tax packages have a second line of defense in the enormous band of human tax preparers at the company's 12,000 or so offices nationwide. Help at a brick-and-mortar stores isn't free, of course, but it helps to know you can go there if you get hopelessly wrapped around the axle. Users of all the paid packages do get free online chat with a tax expert.
If you want a human to check your homework, you can purchase the Tax Pro Review add-on feature, which costs between $49.99 and $89.99 depending on which software package you buy. This competes directly with a similar offering from TurboTax.
H&R Block says people who provide tax support and review tax returns submitted for Tax Pro Review are graduates of its 60-hour Income Tax Course and must complete at least 18 hours of continuing education and an average of 20 hours of skills training on policies and procedures every year. The tax pros handling Tax Pro Review returns are "certified at H&R Block's highest levels and are our most tenured and experienced tax professionals," according to the company.
Tax chat and Ask a Tax Advisor are available Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT, and on weekends, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT. Tech support chat is available 24/7. Tech support via phone is available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to midnight CT, and on weekends, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT.
If you're audited
First, if you're concerned about an IRS audit, be sure you know the difference between "support" and "defense." With most providers, audit support typically means one-on-one guidance from a tax pro about what to expect and how to prepare — that's it. Audit defense, on the other hand, gets you full representation before the IRS from a tax professional.
Ways to get help
- Searchable knowledge base.
- Free tech support via chat.
- Expert tax advice via chat (paid users only).
- About 12,000 locations.
- Tax Pro Review add-on (starts at $49.99).
H&R Block offers online users a sort of combo product called Worry-Free Audit Support. This gets you one-on-one contact with a tax professional to help guide you through an audit. It costs $19.99 and includes IRS correspondence management, audit preparation and in-person audit representation.
On top of that, you can buy something called Tax ID Care, which helps you apply for an Identity Protection PIN or Identity Theft Indicator if it turns out criminals have used your personal info to file a fake tax return. That runs $14.99. (If you buy Tax ID Care and Worry-Free Audit Support together, you'll pay $24.99, which saves ten bucks).
Refund options
No matter how you file, you can choose to receive your refund via direct deposit to a bank account (the fastest option), loaded onto an H&R Block Emerald prepaid debit MasterCard or in the form of a paper check. Other options include applying the refund to next year's taxes or directing the IRS to buy U.S. Savings Bonds with your refund.
If you buy a paid version of H&R Block, you have the option of paying for it out of your refund (if you're getting one). But there's a $39.95 charge to do so.

|H&R Block's software is a solid contender in the crowded market for tax software, and its network of brick-and-mortar locations offers a warm, fuzzy security blanket.
The interface is straightforward and easy to use, and the free version is one of the best on the market.
|TurboTax stands out for how easy it is to use and its intuitive design and flow.
It's pricier than most, but while confident filers may not need the bells and whistles and can find better value elsewhere, many people will find this experience to be worth a few extra dollars.
|TaxAct's no-nonsense design will be a turnoff for some, but the cost is lower than many competitors and there's phone and chat support.
The interface isn't fancy, and there's less of a Q&A feel than other packages, but the data-entry process in general is similar to most and there are plenty of tools to help you along.
The bottom line
H&R Block offers solid filing options at a reasonable price. If you want to file your taxes online but would feel better knowing you can run to a human at a desk in a brick-and-mortar office if you get stuck, H&R Block is a good choice.

Dark Heresy - Ecto's Diary (4).
4 comments:
Excellent prose , very good read , the character is very entertaining did you write it ?ReplyDelete
Thanks Neil,ReplyDelete
Nope, this series isn't by me: if you click on the 'Dark Heresy' label at the bottom of the post, there's an introduction to the series in the post 'Ecto's Diary 1'. In short, though, it's by my friend Wace, who's role-playing the part of Ecto in my Dark Heresy campaign. As an adept, we thought he'd take comfort in scribbling away in his diary as the events unfold before him.
The posts labelled 'Dark Heresy narrative' are by me, though.
Sound like a fun campaign , shame you live down south i wouldn't mind doing some rpg 40k with like minded peeps.ReplyDelete
Thanks! It is really good, it's been a lot of fun but it takes a huge amount of work, though: never be a GM! It's eats your life!ReplyDelete
