Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, are a way for investors to help manage the risks of inflation. TIPS’ principal adjusts upward along with consumer price inflation, or CPI, which provides investors with a guaranteed “real return” (or return after inflation).
Individual TIPS bonds can be an important portfolio component for investors who want to maintain the purchasing power of their savings. But TIPS, despite being issued by the U.S. government, are not free of risk – particularly if you choose to access the asset class through mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Since TIPS are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, they are seen as being free of credit risk. In other words, investors are guaranteed to receive all of the interest and principal that’s coming to them.
While the price of a TIPS bond will fluctuate between the time when it is issued and the date at which it matures, a person who holds until maturity isn’t affected by these price movements. However, this moderate level of volatility does have the potential to become an issue if a person sells a bond prior to its maturity date. In this case, he or she isn’t guaranteed to receive the bond’s par value since its market price could be more or less than par at the time of the sale.
Another potential risk of TIPS is that the official CPI fails to track actual inflation or the rising prices of the products or services the investor needs. In this case, there is the chance that the element of inflation protection in the bonds will be insufficient to protect that investor’s true purchasing power.
A third risk is the rare chance of deflation or falling prices. In this case, investors would likely sell TIPS – driving prices down – since there would be no need for inflation protection. This indeed occurred during the depths of the financial crisis of 2008, when fears of a worldwide financial meltdown raised the possibility of deflation and led to a sharp decline in the prices of TIPS in the autumn of that year. Deflation a long-shot possibility, but one that merits consideration.
While TIPS will work as intended for investors who buy individual bonds and hold them to maturity, those who hold TIPS via mutual funds or ETFs face an entirely different set of risks.
Funds do provide an element of inflation protection in the sense that the principal value of the bonds held by the funds will indeed adjust upward with inflation. However, unlike individual securities, bond funds have no maturity date. This means that investors are not guaranteed to see a full return of principal. And since TIPS are highly sensitive to interest rate movements, the value of a TIPS mutual fund or ETF can fluctuate widely in a very short period.
These losses are meaningful since inflation typically has run in the 1-3% range in recent years. As a result, it doesn't take much of a loss to offset the protection feature in the funds’ TIPS holdings.
TIPS funds face another headwind: higher inflation generally leads to higher rates, which equates to falling share prices for TIPS mutual funds and ETFs. Any hint that inflation is rising would almost certainly lead to a decline in Treasury prices (keep in mind, prices and yields move in opposite directions), which in turn would weigh heavily on the prices of TIPS and the funds that invest in them.
In this sense, TIPS funds actually provide the opposite of what many investors may be expecting: rather protecting against inflation, they will-in-fact be affected by it. For short-dated TIPS funds, the impact would be less severe.
Keep in mind, this is only a problem if rates rise. But with yields already at extremely low levels, investors in TIPS funds are taking a chance that their investment won’t live up to expectations.

For Kristin Armstrong, the path from University of Idaho student to three-time Olympic gold medalist was one of determination and grit.
While she’s now a household name for cycling excellence, the longtime Boise resident didn’t necessarily shine at UI for her athletic prowess.
Armstrong learned that grit in the classrooms at UI, where she focused on her studies, but was also part of a supportive environment where she could connect with her professors and be held accountable for the work she did.
It also took focus for her to excel and find balance among her various passions, whether it was bonding with her sisters at Kappa Kappa Gamma, training for a season with the track and cross-country teams, keeping her body and mind healthy, or taking part in intramurals — including ultimate Frisbee, soccer and softball.
“The college experience that I dreamed of having, I had at the University of Idaho,” said Armstrong, who has had a distinguished career in sports medicine after graduating from the College of Education in 1995. Her intentions were to go on to physical therapy or physician’s assistant school, but after realizing she couldn’t do it all, she followed the path of becoming a professional athlete.
Armstrong would take up cycling in the years following her time at UI. She went on to earn gold medals in the cycling time trial at the 2008 Beijing, 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympic games.
That achievement — as well as her passion for helping others live active, healthy lives — is why UI officials chose to rename the portion of Paradise Path that crosses UI’s campus the Kristin Armstrong Bike Path. The path will be dedicated Sept. 9.
It’s not the first route named in Armstrong’s honor: The road to the Bogus Basin ski area, a popular cycling route near Boise, also is named for her — a fact she said keeps fellow cyclists inspired as they climb to the base elevation at 5,790 feet.
“I’ve had fellow cyclists say all they wanted to do halfway up the mountain is turn around and then they see my sign and say, ‘Kristin Armstrong wouldn’t turn around,’” she said.
While Paradise Path may not boast a several-thousand-foot rise in elevation, Armstrong still hopes the newly named bike path will inspire generations of families and kids in the community, as well as the students who use it for their commute.
“The University of Idaho was great to me, I learned so much there,” Armstrong said. The supportive environment and overall college experience is one she looks back on with fondness.
A longtime Boise resident, Armstrong recently retired from competitive cycling after winning a third gold medal last summer in Rio. She and husband Joe Savola – also a UI alum – have one son, Lucas, age 7. Armstrong spends her time public speaking, being a mom and recently accepted a job with USA Cycling. She will serve as USA Cycling’s endurance performance director, helping the next generation of Olympic cyclists go after their dreams of gold during the 2020 games in Tokyo.
“I can’t imagine anything better than helping the best cyclist in the nation bring home the gold. I have four Olympics under my belt and have a lot of experiences to share. And, of course, will continue to put my sports medicine degree from UI to good use,” she said.
Due to air quality concerns, parade is canceled.

Do you live and make decisions from your head or from your heart? We can feel the difference right? Decisions from the heart feel warm and fuzzy and full of love. Decisions from the head usually feel steeped in logical thinking and can at times be devoid of compassion. Decisions from the heart seem risky and vulnerable, while decisions from our heads feel safe, cautious and reasonable.
What would the world look like and feel like if we ventured down that long 12-18 inch space from our head to our heart? Making decisions and choices guided by our heart.
Why is it that leading with our heart feels so vulnerable and risky? Why is it that we feel a need to protect ourselves and put up walls? The need to protect our power, our privilege, our dreams, our money. We are cultured to believe that leading from our heart would not be beneficial, that it would be irresponsible and even stupid.
How many times have we received advice or given advice based on sheer logic and intellect with a disregard for the teachings of the heart?
I'm not suggesting that we be reckless and dangerous, but I am suggesting that we allow ourselves to be guided by our heart. That we listen to our heart and the wisdom that is has to offer and is teaching us. That we be guided by compassion, forgiveness, love and grace, instead of fear.
I like how authors Ed and Deb Shapiro explain it, "The heart has been described as the king, with the mind as the king's adviser. When faced with a decision, the king may ask his advisers for advice, may even send them out into the world to gather information, but ultimately it is the king that makes the final decision. Even though the advisers do not always agree with the king's decision, the king is invariably right, because the king's view not only sees the bigger picture but is also aware of the needs of others."
They go on to explain, "In the same way, when faced with a decision or conflict, your mind may come up with numerous, different and quite logical reasons why you should act as it advises, but if you listen to and trust your heart—however illogical or irrational it may seem—it is usually right and you are happier as a result."
Your heart is where your intuition resides. If we get still and listen, it is full of wisdom. The heart and its powerful energy is what I believe our world needs more than anything our minds can conjure up. When we tap into the wisdom of our heart we are in alignment with the truth of our being. The essence of who we are, our higher self. There is so much value to listening to our hear,t as it is the essence of our spiritual being.
Before you make that decision or choice, take time to pause, be still and listen to the guidance of your heart. Ask yourself what you value and what is in alignment with the truth of your being. Will your decision support these values, will it be in alignment?
I invite you to practice letting go of your fear and your need to control, and to listen more to the wisdom of your heart. Let it guide you while your mind advises you.
Next week's post will include a process for making decisions that are led by the heart. Typically, these are decisions that will help to support your overall happiness.
This week I want to share with you a really important and impactful daily practice that I learned from Brene Brown's book Braving The Wilderness. It goes hand-in-hand with some affirmations that I also love to use (more on these later).
Here is Brene's recommended daily practice, "Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don't belong. You will always find it because you've made that your mission. Stop scouring people's faces for evidence that you're not enough. You will always find it because you've made that your goal. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don't negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts. Our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. No one belongs here more than you."
Do you consider yourself to be your worst critic? I think a lot of us are hard on ourselves, probably a lot harsher than anyone else (most of the time anyway). We often take this self criticism and reflect it outward by looking for confirmation from others that we don't belong, or that we are not enough. It then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
I don't know about you, but I can still sometimes get caught up in bashing myself for things I wish I wouldn't have done or said from decades ago. Things I can in no way change and that no one, besides myself, is even remembering let alone thinking about anymore. Do you do that too?
What if we quit walking around each day looking for reasons that we don't belong or that we're not good enough? What would life look like?
There are a few affirmations that I've worked with over the years that I really love and have helped me walk through life with a different mindset. The first one is super simple, it's "I am enough." That's it, short and sweet, "I am enough." Repeating it over and over to myself until it sinks into my bones.
The second one is a little longer, but it carries with it magic. This one is thanks to my friend Haywood Simmons. It goes like this, "I am enough and I bring creative solutions everywhere I go." If I'm faced with a challenge of any kind this is my go to affirmation. Repeating it over and over to myself until it seeps into my bones..."I am enough and I bring creative solutions wherever I go."
This simple "I am enough" affirmation can be modified however it works for you. It's a powerful reminder that we belong and we are enough, just the way we are...perfectly and uniquely imperfect. Just the way God created us to be.
Imagine how we might show up for the world if we were all feeling adequate. Imagine if our mindset was in place to believe that we were enough and could bring creative solutions wherever we went. What might be possible if we felt whole and complete? What if we didn't let our own fear take over and rule us? Imagine the possibilities.
I invite you to give it a try. Walk through the world with affirmations of being enough and stop looking for confirmation that you are not. See how you feel. I would love to hear how it goes!
Do you feel lonely? Loneliness and being alone can be very different things. We can feel lonely even when we are amongst a crowd. It can actually be a more painful feeling, a lonelier feeling than when we are physically alone.
Have you experienced feeling lonely when you are with the people or when you are alone? I know I have. Maybe it's because you feel like you don't fit in, or that you aren't accepted, aren't seen or heard, maybe because you don't feel like you're enough.
Neuroscience researcher John Cacioppo has been studying loneliness for over 20 years. He defines loneliness as, "perceived social isolation." We experience loneliness when we feel disconnected. Therefore, loneliness is not just being alone. Loneliness is a state of mind.
Did you know that loneliness is bad for your health? Based on the results of numerous studies on loneliness, researchers have found that: Living with air pollution increases your odds of dying early by 5%. Living with obesity by 20%. Excessive drinking by 30%. And living with loneliness increases your odds of dying early by a whooping 45%. The need for social connection is so fundamental in humans that without it we fall apart, down to the cellular level.
According to Brene Brown in her book, Braving The Wilderness, in 1980 approximately 20% of Americans reported feeling lonely. Today, it's more than double that percentage. Rates of loneliness are rapidly increasing not only in America, but also in countries around the world.
It seems strange doesn't it that in 2018 we would be feeling more lonely? I mean we are more "connected" than ever aren't we? We have email and cell phones, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Snapchat, we have airline travel all making staying "connected" so much easier.
In recent years our society has been promoting the idea of sorting ourselves into groups of like-minded people. As Bill Bishop in his book, The Big Sort, states, "We’ve geographically, politically, and even spiritually sorted ourselves into like-minded groups in which we silence dissent, grow more extreme in our thinking, and consume only facts that support our beliefs. As a result, we now live in a giant feedback loop, hearing our own thoughts about what’s right and wrong bounced back to us by the television shows we watch, the newspapers and books we read, the blogs we visit online, the sermons we hear, and the neighborhoods we live in.".
Brene Brown goes on to explain, "This sorting leads us to make assumptions about the people around us, which in turn fuels disconnection. Shouldn't 'You're either with us or against us' have led to closer ties among the like-minded? The answer to these questions is a resounding and surprising no. At the same time sorting is on the rise, so is loneliness."
Brown continues, "Clearly, selecting like-minded friends and neighbors and separating ourselves as much as possible from people whom we think of as different from us has not delivered that deep sense of belonging that we are hardwired to crave."
Loneliness tells us that we need social connection, something as important to our well-being as food and water. Cacioppo explains that, "Denying you feel lonely makes no more sense than denying you feel hunger."
Brown goes on to explain that, "When we feel isolated, disconnected, and lonely, we try to protect ourselves. In that mode, we want to connect, but our brain is attempting to override connection with self-protection. That means less empathy, more defensiveness, more numbing, and less sleeping. The brain's self-protection mode often ramps up the stories we tell ourselves about what's happening, creating stories that are often not true or exaggerate our worst fears and insecurities. Unchecked loneliness fuels continued loneliness by keeping us afraid to reach out."
Lonely people tend to find greater fault with themselves and with those around them. Their expectation is that others will be less friendly and less kind. This expectations become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Loneliness is also contagious, it's spreads out from one small ripple of interaction to the next.
Have you noticed your brain's response to feeling lonely? I have witnessed my brain going into self-protection mode and the exaggerated stories that I replay to myself causing me to experience more isolation.
Brown sums it up this way, "We seem to have forgotten that even when we're utterly alone, we're connected to one another by something greater than group membership, politics, and ideology...that we're connected by love and the human spirit. No matter how separate we are by what we think and believe, we are part of the same spiritual story."
In the end, people want to be connected, we are wired to need and desire human connection. We want to experience real connection. Cultures of "us versus them" have created feelings of disconnection and a diminished sense of shared humanity. We have normalized dehumanizing groups of people. In many cases the only thing that binds us together in these like-minded groups is shared fear, anger and hatred.
I will explore the idea of developing real connection more in future posts.

before you make that decision or choice, take time to pause, be still and listen to the guidance of your heart. ask yourself what you value and what is in alignment with the truth of your being. will your decision support these values, will it be in alignment?
i invite you to practice letting go of your fear and your need to control, and to listen more to the wisdom of your heart. let it guide you while your mind advises you.
next week's post will include a process for making decisions that are led by the heart. typically, these are decisions that will help to support your overall happiness.
this week i want to share with you a really important and impactful daily practice that i learned from brene brown's book braving the wilderness. it goes hand-in-hand with some affirmations that i also love to use (more on these later).
here is brene's recommended daily practice, "stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don't belong. you will always find it because you've made that your mission. stop scouring people's faces for evidence that you're not enough. you will always find it because you've made that your goal. true belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don't negotiate their value with the world. the truth about who we are lives in our hearts. our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. no one belongs here more than you."
do you consider yourself to be your worst critic? i think a lot of us are hard on ourselves, probably a lot harsher than anyone else (most of the time anyway). we often take this self criticism and reflect it outward by looking for confirmation from others that we don't belong, or that we are not enough. it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
i don't know about you, but i can still sometimes get caught up in bashing myself for things i wish i wouldn't have done or said from decades ago. things i can in no way change and that no one, besides myself, is even remembering let alone thinking about anymore. do you do that too?
what if we quit walking around each day looking for reasons that we don't belong or that we're not good enough? what would life look like?
there are a few affirmations that i've worked with over the years that i really love and have helped me walk through life with a different mindset. the first one is super simple, it's "i am enough." that's it, short and sweet, "i am enough." repeating it over and over to myself until it sinks into my bones.
the second one is a little longer, but it carries with it magic. this one is thanks to my friend haywood simmons. it goes like this, "i am enough and i bring creative solutions everywhere i go." if i'm faced with a challenge of any kind this is my go to affirmation. repeating it over and over to myself until it seeps into my bones..."i am enough and i bring creative solutions wherever i go."
this simple "i am enough" affirmation can be modified however it works for you. it's a powerful reminder that we belong and we are enough, just the way we are...perfectly and uniquely imperfect. just the way god created us to be.
imagine how we might show up for the world if we were all feeling adequate. imagine if our mindset was in place to believe that we were enough and could bring creative solutions wherever we went. what might be possible if we felt whole and complete? what if we didn't let our own fear take over and rule us? imagine the possibilities.
i invite you to give it a try. walk through the world with affirmations of being enough and stop looking for confirmation that you are not. see how you feel. i would love to hear how it goes!
do you feel lonely? loneliness and being alone can be very different things. we can feel lonely even when we are amongst a crowd. it can actually be a more painful feeling, a lonelier feeling than when we are physically alone.
have you experienced feeling lonely when you are with the people or when you are alone? i know i have. maybe it's because you feel like you don't fit in, or that you aren't accepted, aren't seen or heard, maybe because you don't feel like you're enough.
neuroscience researcher john cacioppo has been studying loneliness for over 20 years. he defines loneliness as, "perceived social isolation." we experience loneliness when we feel disconnected. therefore, loneliness is not just being alone. loneliness is a state of mind.
did you know that loneliness is bad for your health? based on the results of numerous studies on loneliness, researchers have found that: living with air pollution increases your odds of dying early by 5%. living with obesity by 20%. excessive drinking by 30%. and living with loneliness increases your odds of dying early by a whooping 45%. the need for social connection is so fundamental in humans that without it we fall apart, down to the cellular level.
according to brene brown in her book, braving the wilderness, in 1980 approximately 20% of americans reported feeling lonely. today, it's more than double that percentage. rates of loneliness are rapidly increasing not only in america, but also in countries around the world.
it seems strange doesn't it that in 2018 we would be feeling more lonely? i mean we are more "connected" than ever aren't we? we have email and cell phones, facebook, instagram, linkedin and snapchat, we have airline travel all making staying "connected" so much easier.
in recent years our society has been promoting the idea of sorting ourselves into groups of like-minded people. as bill bishop in his book, the big sort, states, "we’ve geographically, politically, and even spiritually sorted ourselves into like-minded groups in which we silence dissent, grow more extreme in our thinking, and consume only facts that support our beliefs. as a result, we now live in a giant feedback loop, hearing our own thoughts about what’s right and wrong bounced back to us by the television shows we watch, the newspapers and books we read, the blogs we visit online, the sermons we hear, and the neighborhoods we live in.".
brene brown goes on to explain, "this sorting leads us to make assumptions about the people around us, which in turn fuels disconnection. shouldn't 'you're either with us or against us' have led to closer ties among the like-minded? the answer to these questions is a resounding and surprising no. at the same time sorting is on the rise, so is loneliness."
brown continues, "clearly, selecting like-minded friends and neighbors and separating ourselves as much as possible from people whom we think of as different from us has not delivered that deep sense of belonging that we are hardwired to crave."
loneliness tells us that we need social connection, something as important to our well-being as food and water. cacioppo explains that, "denying you feel lonely makes no more sense than denying you feel hunger."
brown goes on to explain that, "when we feel isolated, disconnected, and lonely, we try to protect ourselves. in that mode, we want to connect, but our brain is attempting to override connection with self-protection. that means less empathy, more defensiveness, more numbing, and less sleeping. the brain's self-protection mode often ramps up the stories we tell ourselves about what's happening, creating stories that are often not true or exaggerate our worst fears and insecurities. unchecked loneliness fuels continued loneliness by keeping us afraid to reach out."
lonely people tend to find greater fault with themselves and with those around them. their expectation is that others will be less friendly and less kind. this expectations become a self-fulfilling prophecy. loneliness is also contagious, it's spreads out from one small ripple of interaction to the next.
have you noticed your brain's response to feeling lonely? i have witnessed my brain going into self-protection mode and the exaggerated stories that i replay to myself causing me to experience more isolation.
brown sums it up this way, "we seem to have forgotten that even when we're utterly alone, we're connected to one another by something greater than group membership, politics, and ideology...that we're connected by love and the human spirit. no matter how separate we are by what we think and believe, we are part of the same spiritual story."
in the end, people want to be connected, we are wired to need and desire human connection. we want to experience real connection. cultures of "us versus them" have created feelings of disconnection and a diminished sense of shared humanity. we have normalized dehumanizing groups of people. in many cases the only thing that binds us together in these like-minded groups is shared fear, anger and hatred.
i will explore the idea of developing real connection more in future posts.

I stumbled across some very interesting science kit, the EmDrive (Wikipedia link).
To explain why this is so remarkable takes a little bit of rocket science. When we go to space, we propel ourselves by throwing things out of the spacecraft at high speed. Accelerating the mass out of the spacecraft provides a force that accelerates the spacecraft in the opposite direction.
This is the stuff Isaac Newton wrote about.
"Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration."
This means that it is a viable means to propel your spacecraft by having a Baseball pitcher stand in the airlock and throw fastballs out into deep space. With every throw, the ship gets a nudge in the opposite direction. The problem with this is that baseballs, and rocket fuel in general, is heavy and we have to haul it all up into orbit with us before doing anything interesting.
If the emDrive works, we don't need any more baseballs. We can convert electricity directly into motion. If it works this is a civilization-changing invention like the discovery of fire, the invention of the printing press, or the invention of the steam engine. It can fundamentally alter the course of the human race.
That seems like pretty big shoes to fill. I'll explain. The way spaceflight works today is we burn a bunch of fuel at the beginning of the flight, and coast to where we're going. If we're lucky, we can "slingshot" around a moon or planet to help us get moving really fast. This method works. We've used it to fly-by every planet in our Solar System. It might take a while, but we'll get there eventually.
With "propellant-less propulsion" like the emDrive we can change how we fly. Instead of coasting "down the hill" we can accelerate almost all the way to Mars. Our flight times can go from Months to Days. Exploration and Colonization move from Science Fiction to "Next Year." Scuba-dive on Europa? I can't see why not.
I've said a couple of times in this post "If it works". That is a big "if". Mr. Newton's physics have been around a long time, and this breaks them. That is a big deal, and a lot more research needs to be done to nail down the new science. The inventor is off to an excellent start. He's published his work and it's been replicated at least twice. He's got working models that produce meter-grams of force, and theoretical models that can lift a car with less energy that we use now to drive. Sign me up.
If I were in High School today, I would go to University and study to work in this field. The growth opportunities from this make the dot-com boom look like kindergarten. I'm not in High School, but I'm still going to try. I'm reading "Microwave Engineering" tonight, and packing in a bunch of coursework. The technology is still a baby, and I'm definitely getting in. This is going to be huge!
Remember the Flying cars in the Jetson's, Star Wars, and every other sci-fi show since you were 6? This is the technology that makes that a real thing. Nobody else is going to build me a flying car, I guess I will have to do it myself!
My Daughter and I are learning Spanish together. We're using this great website, DuoLingo.com. The idea is that she and I will be able to talk with our "secret language"
Sounds great, right? It is. One minor complicating factor. My son wants a secret language too.
Yep. I'm learning German and Spanish simultaneously.

I just finished reading The Martian by Andy Weir.
This is a survival science fiction novel that tells the tale of a man's struggle to survive and escape Mars after being left behind, presumed dead, on an early manned mission.
The book is absolutely fantastic. I read it in one sitting, and could not put it down. 9,000 stars, 1 billion internets. Fantastic.
Normally I put a link here to the book on Amazon. Here it is.
Also, I'm placing a link to download the .ePub of the full book for free on my public dropbox here.

I love my kids. I really do. They can't remember to brush their teeth for anything. This gave me a lovely idea today. I should manufacture a toothbrush that starts playing music if it sits still for 24 continuous hours. The only way to stop the music should be to shake it (i.e. by brushing your teeth) for 30 seconds.
Today I got Gmail reminder to "check up on that free energy stuff".
The e-Cat system (LENR, not free energy) still remains a black box, despite the company's claim that they have one in production. I think I'm going to have to build one of these to sate my curiosity.
The Orbo team is producing the resounding sounds of Crickets.
The EMC2 (Fusion, not free energy) team is back at work. It looks like they were able to wrangle some dollars out of the Navy. Lovely.
I think I will have a go at the E-Cat. It seems like fairly simple rig to try.
BTW, sorry for the long sabbatical I'm juggling some projects at work and have been reading a lot. I should have book posts this week about "Frozen in Time" (historical non-fiction about Airplanes on Greenland) and "The Interrogators" (non-fiction about the experience of a military interrogator in Afghanistan.) I'm also working on a swing for my daughter and doing some car stuff too!

Onboarding is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the act or process of orienting and training a new employee.” Of course, you have the mandatory items that need completed right away to do this, I-9, W-4, et cetera. Create a plan for these immediate aspects of onboarding and keep it consistent among all new hires. After you’ve done that, there is no right or wrong, or proven method and length of time for employee onboarding. However, I can share some tips that have served me well over the years.
From what I have discovered, the first 90 days are the most critical. During this time, the employee is getting to know the company’s values, it’s employees, and his or her own job. By providing a structured onboarding process to train the new employee, you are showing them you want them to be successful. For example, have them sit with a more seasoned employee, giving them a mentor, and allowing them to make a connection. A piece of caution is to make sure the seasoned employee has the time to train and mentor, so they don’t feel overwhelmed.
During the onboarding process, show the new hire the ropes, train on technology needed to successfully do their job, show them around the facility and introduce them to people. Try not to rush this process since, as we all know, starting a new job is stressful. Providing employees with a copy of the policies and a short video or presentation about the company is great, but it shouldn’t stop there. Let new hires know what the company’s expectations are and what they will be evaluated on.
Providing an open dialogue between new employees and senior leadership sets a standard early on. Allowing a new employee to make new working relationships with various levels of employees helps to make them feel welcomed. Also, check in with them! Receiving feedback from a new employee on what they are learning and how they feel helps to build a positive culture. As we all know, positive cultures lead to better retention rates and a more productive staff.
There is an array of technology for employee orientations and onboarding processes, which is great for streamlining process and keeping things consistent. You can show a PowerPoint presentation to introduce the company, provide employee portals to communicate with staff, and offer online learning tools. Onboarding technology can also help you to stay focused and provide checklists. While these options can be very helpful, don’t forget to put the human interactions in as well. As an example, instead of sending an email to check-in with the new hire, make an appointment with them and have a conversation.
As stated previously, there is no perfect way to conduct an employee onboarding, though hopefully these tips will help. The important thing is to do one.

The Russian Foreign Ministry warned the EU against hindering the Nord Stream 2 project, stated Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Alexander Pankin in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Pankin stated that if obstacles are created to force Russia to pump gas through Ukraine “on their terms, their tariffs and their legal uncertainties, then this would not work”. He pointed to possible difficulties that European consumers could have if Russia and Ukraine fail to reach an agreement on gas transit and “if the problems with Nord Stream 2 remain."
At the same time, he stated that Russia is ready to continue gas transit to Europe through Ukraine. "We are ready to continue transit through Ukraine, but on the conditions that we need,” Pankin stated, suggesting that after the Presidential elections, Ukraine's position may change.
Pankin suggested that a change in position, certain institutional developments, or a legal development in the processes could occur in Ukraine by next May.
Nord Stream 2 has already been criticized by some European countries. The gas pipeline would be laid under the Baltic Sea along with the already-existing Nord Stream line. Russia plans to complete the project this year, when agreements between Moscow and Kyiv on gas transit through Ukraine expire.
Earlier, the European Union supported a compromise solution by amending the EU third energy package. According to the amendments, the EU member state holding the primary traffic artery connecting to European gas pipelines grids would be responsible for the gas pipeline coming from the third country. Thus, the German government, not Brussels, would regulate Nord Stream 2.

When I first heard of GO2 and its effects, I was quite excited.. I’ve tried loads of vitamins and liquids that all profess to put the energy back in your life. Well… Here’s the difference with GO2…. It actually works!
From the first day I started using it, I have felt more energetic than I have in a loooooong time. Since having mr 2.5, and having some weight and health issues, I’ve felt slow and tired, all. the. time. My morning would start at 6:30am getting up with the little one, getting him sorted, then sitting down for my breakfast, and I would literally need 3 strong coffees before feeling like I had energy and motivation to get things done. Sometimes, unless mr 2.5 needed me, I struggled to get moving until 10/10:30am. Life just felt hard.
So when I was lucky enough to have the chance to try GO2, I prayed that I finally found the booster I desperately needed… I wasn’t disappointed! That first day I took the recommended amount as soon as I was up, and everything just rolled from there, I got my son sorted, I had only ONE! coffee that morning, and before it was even finished, I was trying to CONTAIN the energy to move and get things done!! By 10:30am my chores for the day were mostly done and I was thinking about having a second coffee for coffee break instead of motivation. And it’s not stopped since then. Every day has been the same.
I love that it doesn’t feel like I’ve used a booster to give me energy too, it feels natural. I cannot rate GO2 highly enough! It’s given me my life back.

yay! congrats! one would think that running is just that - you run but i now know that you actually have to BUILD up to it!
i'm also learning how to pace myself/build my endurance to run longer. i'm using the couch to 10K app and just going at probably what veteran runners call a "grandmother's pace" but at least i'm doing it, right?
and does that watch you're wearing track KMs or miles? or were you timing yourself only?
