Jan Berenstain, the co-author of more than 300 books died at the end of February. Her husband and writing partner, Stan, died in 2005. As I considered what I would write about Mrs. Berenstain's passing, I began thinking what an amazing number of books she and her husband had written together. Many marriages don't last a lifetime anymore, never mind the thought of working with your spouse for over forty years.
But that's what the Berenstain's did. They lived together and worked together to create some of the most beloved books in children's literature. I've read them, my children read them, and if I have my say in it, my future grandchildren will read them. Looking back upoI don't remember being conscious of the lessons I was learning as a child when I read these books. I just remember enjoying them. As a parent, I'm glad for books that teach so many valuable principles.
In this article on Mrs. Berenstain's death from The New York Times, they credited their first editor at Random House, Theodor Geisel–or as most of us know him, Dr. Seuss–for helping them achieve their trademark style that made these books popular as reading primers.
Though my kids are too old for them now, I can't seem to part with my collection. They are sitting in the floor of my office in a box. Every once in a while the Lil Princess (8) picks one up, but she is an advanced reader, so she's reading much more involved books than these now. My favorite of the series remains, The Bears' Vacation. Originally released in 1968 (exactly a month after I was born), Papa Bear demonstrates his seaside safety rules with funny and disastrous results.
As a way to celebrate the legacy of the Berenstains, I hope you'll share your favorite Berenstain Bears book.
The correct answer, according tos is The Cat in the Hat, which was written in response to 1954 reports of poor reading in America.
And that, my friends, is your Dr. Seuss trivia lesson for today. I'm glad I decided to talk about one of our most famous local children's authors. I hope you enjoyed these posts.
I had the chance to readn 2008. You can read the review here.
Do you care to take a guess? You won't win anything but at least you'll have a bit of Dr. Seuss trivia to share with your friends.
We'll share the answer tomorrow.


My wife had a Mental illness stint 2 years ago and after a few months of treatment got back to normal - it repeated a year later and she was then put on correct drugs from the Mental Health Clinic.
Our sex lives were always very, very active for 18 years and for 2 years now she is a completely different person and has lost any interest (except for the once in a blue moon fling between us).
Afraid it’s not good news for me. I tried for 4 years and to be honest I feel that the woman I married dissappeared when the mental breakdown happened....only to be replaced by someone who has no connection or passion towards me.
She came off medication some years back and am now with a person that I really would not have married - as she seems to be a person who has no emotion or physically attachment anymore.
I have talked, written letters to her - but she can't grasp the problem and blames me (I go quiet with her when I'm totally depressed about everything due to the feeling of rejection and pain I feel).
Kind of stuck in a hard place due to my girl of 11...I need to make sure that she grows up in a stable enviroment and will not be affected by this, but deep down you know a person can't live without love in their lives.
Wish I had some happy news and good advice.
so so sorry to hear above but all that you have said my husband has said to me,because of how i am i do not read his romantic cues,they are completely lost on me and in the past he has accused me of doing it on purpose cos i just can't be bothered.I am not saying there isn't an element of truth in that last sentence but with all the other symptoms,pressures,family stability your trying to maintain most of the time i am exhausted.However last GP appt i told him that i was dead from the waist down and while i'm not in a place yet to resume sex i'm bloody well determined to make more of an effort .

Democratic consultant Hilary Rosen triggered a scorn-fest this week when she said that Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, couldn't fathom the economic issues facing women because she's "never worked a day in her life." Ann, a mother of five, quickly shot back via Twitter, reassuring Rosen that being a stay-at-home mom was "hard work," and appearing on cable news to defend women who choose not to enter the workforce. As Republicans piled on Rosen, Democrats quickly distanced themselves. While some observers have dismissed this dust-up as "a truly ridiculous Twitter war," it's emerging as a teachable moment. Here, five lessons:
1. Ann Romney is central to Mitt's campaign
2. The Romney campaign is pretty savvy…
3. …And pretty cynical, too
This "kerfuffle" means "doodleysquat" to the election, says Linkins. "Things that people say while speaking extemporaneously on CNN panels" do not "move the needle." Remember, "CNN's pundit panels aren't even capable of generating good ratings for CNN." Yes, we really should "ignore the back-and-forth," says Jonathan Bernstein at The Washington Post, and remember what actually matters: Polls, economic news, foreign policy cris"a real difference in people's lives." The media needs to reassess its priorities.


What is a formal invitation letter?
What information to include in an invitation letter?
If you’re looking to write a formal invitation for an event, not to worry. This post explores the basics of writing a formal invitation letter.
A formal invitation letter is written to ask a person or an organization to attend your event. The invitation can be for a wedding, graduation, exhibition, business events, and other occasions.
The purpose of an invitation letter is to coordinate beforehand the number of guests attending the event.
Such a letter is usually printed on an event card, and they are custom designed. It shows the event is important to the person being invited, and the event needs to be held in a specific type of venue.
In your invitation letter, you must address the subject of your meeting to make it specific. The entire should not be more than a page long. Include the date, who, where, and from whom you are sending the letter and the expectation for the response.
Do not forget th.
The primary objective or essence of the letter should be clearly stated in the subject line.
Adding your company letterhead at the top of the letter is crucial in writing a formal invitation. This is to impart a positive impression on the person you’re inviting to the event.
In a professional sense, letterheads help maintain your company’s reputation and are just as important as the brand.
The sender’s address is the first information you should include after adding your letterhead. This is only true for formal invitation letters.
After the sender’s address, the next thing to mention is the date for sending the invitations. The date could be in any format you like, such as 7/5/2022, 5th July 2022, or July 5, 2022.
Write the recipient’s name and address clearly to avoid any confusion later on. The letter should clearly state who the invitation is for.
Make sure to start your letter with an appropriate salutation. You can begin by writing “Dear Sir/Madam” in case you don’t know the recipient’s name.
However, if you know who you’re writing to, include their first and last name with the greeting.
For instance, ‘Dear David Smith.’ Don’t forget to put a comma at the end of the salutation and skip a line. It’s always best if you can find the full name of the recipient you are writing the letter to.
Make sure to start the invitation letter with a polite and inviting phrase. For instance, “We’re pleased to invite you, “It would be a pleasure for us if you could attend,” and such. These statements at the start of the letter show your appreciation and delight in inviting someone to the event.
After you’ve done it, state the event’s purpose in the opening paragraph. Then mentionthe start of the letter.
You must then explain the goal of the event and why you believe the receiver should attend. Finally, list out the important events and request a reply.
C invitation. If you want the confirmation of their presence, mention a deadline by which you expect them to confirm.
Finally, write your contact details, and if you’re writing on behalf of a business corporation, include your designation.
Before you send your letter out, proofread it. Ensure that there are no jargon words, colloquial language, or sentence fragments. There should be no punctuation, grammar, or spelling errors in your writing since it is a formal invitation.
There are many reasons why you should establish an invitation letter when inviting someone to an event. But the most important reason is to express your interest in the occasion and your sincere hope that the guest will attend.
Invitation letters are sometimes the deciding factor for whether you will actually be the guest at the event. With that in mind, it is vital to show your professionalism when writing an invitation letter to ensure your invitation is convincing.

I’ve always been intrigued by psychics. But I’ve also always been apprehensive about getting my own psychic reading. What if my reader turns out to be a scammer, or doesn’t actually have supernatural sight?Or what if the reader has negative energy and it transfers into me during my reading?Are psychics dangerous?What if I hear things from the psychic that I really don’t want to hear?Are the potential benefits outweighed by the risks?
My curiosity finally overcame me, and I Google searched local psychic readers. There were so many to choose from!
What should a person wear to a psychic reading?I honestly had no idea at first. I sorted through my closet, grabbed skirts and blouses off of their hangers, considered countless combinations, and carelessly discarded each one!

As we face the violence of terrorism and the effects of extremism, media outlets must realize the role they play in these events.”

"Pro Evolution Soccer" has really evolved in its own way, claiming its place as being one of the best soccer simulation game. Being the latest iteration in the franchise, "PES 2017" just gets better with every update, and Konami is set to roll out two of them.
Game publisher has already unveiled the next two updates for "PES 2017." The upcoming updates will be available for free in the next couple of months. The first one will start rolling out at the tail end of October. It is set to improve the facial likeness for players in "PES 2017."
First Update: Photorealism, Pitch-Side Hoardings
According to a press release from Konami, the first "PES 2017" update will be able to recognize over 39 players who have performed well at the start of the season. It will also be adding realistic representations of Wissam Ben Yedder, Aymeric Laporte, Denis Suarez, Mario Lemina, and Victor Wanyama, among others. Their individual playing style would then be recreated in the game.
The first "PES 2017" update will also be introducing new pitch-side hoardings. Aside from this, there are also new official and licensed boot styles. This will be including the option to choose a variety of studs.
Second Update: 4K Resolution, Liverpool, Dortmund
The second "PES 2017" update will be arriving on November. It is primarily catered to the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro as it introduces the 4K resolution mode. This update will be coinciding with the official release of the console, as it will be launched early in November.
Additionally, key elements would also be introduced in "PES 2017" through the update. These will be highlighting the partnership between Konami and the premier teams Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

’ basketball team recently held our end of the season awards ceremony. Every season we set our on-court goals as winning the Region V Championship and the State Championship. We won the Region V Championship in the most dramatic fashion, a furious 7-point comeback and then with 2.4 seconds the team capped it off with a steal that led to the game-winning, buzzer-beating shot! The totality of the comeback and victorious moment was mind-boggling. The subsequent joy and elation from the players, coaches, and Crimson Bear faithful during the on-court celebration was incredible. This win earned us the right to represent Region V at the State Tournament. While we fell short of our goal of winning a State Championship, we gained a lot of valuable experience to build on moving forward into next season.
The support of the JDHS Cheer/Stunt Team, Dance Team, student body, pep band, Crimson Club, and community this season was amazing. The energy and excitement these groups provided on game day was second to none. Also, thank you to all those that cheered on the team in-person or through the live-stream, purchased raffle tickets, and joined the Fast Break Club.
And lastly, we appreciate the media and their coverage of our season. They are vital to keeping our family, friends, and the community informed on our season. Thank you to Klas Stolpe at KINY and thank you to the sports department at Juneau Empire.
The winners for the JV’s special awards, as voted by team members, are as follows:
Most Improved: Gavin Gerrin
Most Valuable Player: Bodhi Nelson
Coaches Award: Alex Mallott
Best Rebounder (most rebounds): Orion Dybdahl
Mr. Clutch (highest free-throw percentage): Sean Oliver

As a coaching staff we would like to mention that it was truly our pleasure to work with seniors Alyx Bohulano, Tias Carney, Adrell Mulgrew-Truitt, Porter Nelson, Jake Sleppy, and Terrence Hawkins.

Why did I write The Feedback Book? Here are 6 reasons.
Investors in People’s ‘Job Exodus Trends 2016’ found the depressing statistic that a third of employees surveyed were unhappy in their jobs. What were the top 3 reasons given for this sad state of affairs? Yes, pay was in the top 3 – in third place. Taking the first and second spots were ‘poor management’ and ‘not feeling valued’. Evidently employees need more feedback (and just in case you were thinking feedback was all about criticism, allow me to point out that it can and should include positive feedback, a.k.a. praise). If you need to correct some aspect of your performance, wouldn’t you rather know? Does your manager say so? If you’ve done something well, does your manager show they’ve noticed?


0:1 prayer of Paul that Israel is that they be saved but not simply justified. In verse 2-3 we saw that the problem with Israel is that they’re ignorant of God’s righteousness. They think they can get there on their own ignoring the Old Testament teaching in Isaiah 64s.
Then we move on to Romans 10:4 where he talks about the fact that Christ is the end of the Law. We saw this is the important word telos indicating the fulfillment or the goal of the Law. Because Jesus is the goal of the Law the Law has come to an end as stated in numerous other passages as a basis for experiential righteousness. He’s not talking about justification righteousness at this point. This is all about what saved can be more than justification. It’s talking about phase two deliverance salvation. That’s critical to understanding this passage. We’re not talking about how to get eternal life. We’re talking about the present time experience of the richness of God’s grace in delivering us from living in the fallen world. That’s being applied not only to Israel but also to Gentiles. So the Law is no longer related to sanctification but it has been replaced.
Now this is where we stopped last time. This is really interesting and one of those fun little passages to study because there’s a series of quotes taken out of the Old Testament from Deuteronomy 30: 12-14. If you’re really interested you will turn to Deuteronomy 30 so that there can be a comparison. I know, that’s hard to do when you’re sitting there and you have to slip back and forth in your Bible. But let’s do it. Let’s look at these verses in context.
He doesn’t quote directly from what we now know as the Masoretic Text. His quotes are coming out of the Septuagint, the Greek translation [LXX] of the Hebrew Old Testament. That’s why you see some differences. The other reason you see some differences is because he is sort of cherry picking the phrases and sentences he wants to focus on because he’s not saying this is a fulfillment one to one of the Deuteronomy 30 passage. He is making an application that the principle of Deuteronomy 30: 11-14 is the same today as it was then. That is that divine revelation is as available to you right now as it was to the Jews in the wilderness.
In fact, maybe even more so because you have the internet. You’re sitting there with your computer or smart phone or iPad or whatever and you can pull anything up just like that. So we have more Bible truth available to us today than in any other period of Biblical history. We also have more biblical falsehood or false teaching about the Bible than we’ve ever had before in human history. You can go out to all kinds of websites on the internet with all kinds of Christian teaching that will just confuse you more than anything else. But part of learning involves confusion sometimes. It’s out of confusion that we can gain clarity after a while.
“Or who will descend into the abyss,w pause that thought a minute. Romans 10: 9-10’ll be saved. What are the two body parts that he talks about there? Mouth and heart. Go back to verse 8. He says, “Threlated to faith which we preach.
Now we’ll compare Romans 10:6-9 with Deuteronomy 30:11-14. Deuteronomy 30:11 is stating what Moses said as he goes to the Jews and tells them what is necessary for God to return them to the land and for that discipline to be removed. The focal point of Deuteronomy 30 is on a future restoration of the Jews to the land. This is expressed very clearly as the beginning in verse 1” He’s reminding them of all the things they were to avoid in chapter 29 which would lead to their being banished from the land unto all the nations like they are now.
Look now at verse 2, “Ay.” When does this occur? It occurs at the end of the Tribulation period. This is talking about when the Jews are brought back to the land as a regenerate people and the land is restored to them. Now in Isaiah 11:11 God says.”
When’s the first time? Well in the context of Isaiah 11:11 it says I will bring you back from all the earth a second time.” When did the first time occur? Well, some people think it occurred when they returned from the Babylonian Captivity in 538 but they didn’t come back from Egypt or Rome or Turkey or primarily any place but Babylon and only about 45 to 48, 000 came back with Zerubbabel the first time. There wasn’t a large return back to the land during the 2nd Temple period. There was still a huge number of Jews living in the Diaspora. But there had to be a return under God’s plan so there would be a nation in the land to whom the Messiah could come. There had to be an authority structure in the land so that they could choose to accept or reject the Messiah. But most of the Jews at the time Jesus came lived in the Diaspora.
There are about 50%, probably about 48% of Jews in the world today live in the world today. The greatest percentage of Jews in the world today live in Israel for the first time. We’re within two percentage points of having 50% of the Jews in the world living. That hasn’t happened since 722 B.C. That’s significant, I think. Very significant. It doesn’t mean that the Rapture is tomorrow but it doesn’t mean it’s not.
Okay, so what is Paul saying? He quotes in verse 6,n.” This is from Deuteronomy 30:12 where Moses says not to be looking off into heaven for something. You’ve got it right here. No one needs to go. In Romans 10:7 Paul quotes from Deuteronomy 30. He asks who will descend into the abyss. That’s the word from the Septuagint. In Deuteronomy 30:14 it says that the Word of God is not beyond

Credit Suisse to close accounts
Credit Suisse plans to close some accounts as it focuses on high-value customers from certain countries and stops accepting clients from others altogether.
Switzerland's Tages-Anzeiger newspaper reported that the accounts involved would be closed by the end of the year, affecting clients from nearly 50 countries.
The Credit Suisse spokeswoman said the bank would stop accepting clients from some countries entirely, including Congo, Angola and Turkmenistan.
For clients from other countries, such as Denmark and Israel, it will close small accounts to focus on the top segment of the market, she said.
Tages-Anzeiger said the bank considered the risk to its reputation to be too high for clients from countries such as Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Belarus, and for some other nations it wanted to focus on "rich and super-rich clients" with balances of at least one million Swiss francs ($A1.2 million).
For Israel, where many clients have dual US citizenship, the bank also wante American tax law, the report said.
The bank had said in July it planned to stop accepting clients from smaller markets, as it announced second-quarter profits of 1.04 billion francs, a 32-per cent increase from the year before.
At the time Credit Suisse said it stood to save 150 million francs in the second half of the year by closing accounts in some market segments.
Pressure has increased on banks in recent years to help identify accounts linked to tax evasion, organised crime, high-level corruption or other wrongdoing, causing the cost of complying with regulatory procedures to rise sharply.

The Director General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare, has advised people who just take any form of opioid (a broad group of pain-relieving drugs that work by interacting with opioid receptors in the human cell), without prescription to put a stop to it, since it is detrimental to one’s health.
“Be it tramadol or any other drug which are considered as opioids, let us do well to stay away from them.
“Tramadol is a prescription drug, under no circumstance should any one buy this drug from drug peddlers on the streets,” he added
Read: Struggling Ambulance service to get funding from Insurance Commission, NHIS
The Director-General was speaking at the opening ceremony of an event dubbed: The Pain Symposium, which was held in Accra on Friday, August 17.
It was aimed at providing the opportunity for participants to consider the knotty issues related to pain management in the Ghanaian context and also to present innovative approaches and solutions to solve many aspects of the problem.
According to a study conducted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1998, people who lived with chronic pain were four times more likely to suffer from depression or anxiety.
The study further ascertained that chronic pain could directly influence disease outcomes by reducing its treatment effectiveness.

Dr Nsiah-Asare said although inexpensive and effective pain relief medicines were available, there were tens of millions of people in and around the world, including Ghana, who continued to suffer from moderate to severe pain each year without treatment.
“For too long, pain and its management have over the years been shrouded in myth, irrationality, ignorance and cultural bias,” he said.
He mentioned that according to International Human Rights Law, countries had to provide pain treatment medications as part of their core obligations under the right to health.
Failure to take reasonable steps, he said, might result in the violation of the obligation to protect against cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment to people who suffered pain to have adequate access to pain treatment.
“Over the years, our facilities in Ghana offer pain management services to clients in need of them. We may have been slow in our pace due to the whole concept of pain management so there is the need to manage it effectively since it is recognised as a human right for health,” he added.
For his part, the Rector of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, Professor Jacob Plange-Rhule, called on the Medical and Dental Council of Ghana and other sister postgraduate medical institutions in Ghana to review their curricula in order to integrate the modern approach to pain and palliative care from basic sciences to clinical sciences.

Professor Plange-Rhule stated that in respect of access to pain medication, particularly opioids, the Ministry of Health, the Food and Drugs Authority and the Narcotics Control Board should work closely with prescribers and patient representatives in order to ensure adequate and reasonable quantities of a variety of opioids were made available at reasonable costs.
The Chairman of the Governing Council of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Yao Yeboah, said there was a collaborative effort to fight against drug abuse, specifically the misuse of pain killers such as tramadol among the youth and pethidine among health workers.

I thought the “90th birthday Zoom call” was a little thing. Looks like it was a big thing.
I REALLY don’t want to be provocative or controversial but I just don’t get Sondheim’s music. It always seems meandering, somewhat aimless, and not very interesting musically. So poor harmonically and formally compared to Rodgers & Hammerstein, Bernstein etc. Again, I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, especially in this time of mourning, just curious what everybody loves about his compositions so much. My wife is a big fan and has tried to convert me many times, unsuccessfully.
I don’t like Andre Rieu or much that passes for the modern Broadway musical, but I don’t feel that’s provocative; merely a subjective form of free speech. Having studied music extensively at university I’m not making assessments in an arbitrary manner but from a musical standpoint. Even then, it’s still my opinion.

The Myth of Artificial Intelligence — Erik J. Larson
Futurists are certain that humanlike AI is on the horizon, but in fact engineers have no idea how to program human reasoning. AI reasons from statistical correlations across data sets, while common sense is based heavily on conjecture. Erik Larson...
Larson argues that current logical models are not useful for real world reasoning, and that ANNs (including GPT3 etc) are just veneers, relying purely on frequentism from massive datasets.
The justification is straight forward - first or second order logic provides no more information than was encoded. He claims that Abductive Logic (AL) is required. Or directed guessing, to create new information.
He (AFAIK) argues that the smarts for ANNs are still provided by people: with data encoding (structuring, cleaning, etc) on the input, and for interpretation of output. He claims a long history for this ‘error’ back to Turing.
He has a lot to say about Big Data, tech culture, ‘bootstrapping intelligence’ fallacies, and many other large issues, which I won’t cover here.
In the end, he offers no solutions to the main AL issue, but calls on the community to get back to what he describes as the real problem (AL).
I cant help but feel this is some leap to mysterianism but I’d like some local opinions, if people are willing.

Sounds suspiciously like he just revived Dreyfus’ classic book “What Computers Can’t Do: the limits of AI.” A great read even though it is now 50 years old. Keep in mind that Hubert later said that a machine would never beat a human at chess and then guess what happened.
He does go on a lot of about Winograd Schemas (WG). Seems to be his main example, and suffers from the typical publication delays from books (1-2 yrs), but still, the story on those since is interesting.
Initially, it looked like he was just out of date, but others have emerged suggesting that those WG breakthroughs were just gaming the topic, rather than answering:
Time will tell if WG just falls again, but I would not bet against the algorithms here.
In the meantime, WGs may be fashionable again:
just as is the Machine Common Sense work via DARPA (just finishing):
which I believe he was also involved in.
…the Machine Common Sense work via DARPA…
Thanks for the link, I still think DARPA has an evil AI sequestered in a black ops lab somewhere. Then again, I did see something like that in a movie, but then the AI got loose on the Internet.

Best Strategies for Managing Stress in the Workplace!
I tried the 21-Day Clean Program and Here is My Feedback!
Let’s be honest. We all have days at work that we just hate that place. If it had burned down in an enormous blaze of fire, you would probably be elated. That is until you realize that you need to work and make money.
To manage the level of stress you are feeling in the workplace, youn’t overstressed and performing your best at work:
How you start your day. If you start your day off bad and are in the wrong mindset, the rest of the day at work is only going to compound that stress.
Speak with your employer about the potential of working remotely or flexi-time.
Make sure that you understand the company’s chain of command and your role within the company.
Avoid gossip and negative interactions with your fellow coworkers to avoid making the environment a hostile workplace.
Be sure to take time to unwind.
If you are one of those people who are so stressed out at work that you begin to fantasize about the destruction of the workplace and everyone who works there, you are going to need to keep reading.
This guide is going to provide you with some potential ways to better manage your stress at work and hopefully prevent you from losing your sanity in the process.
What Effect Can High Workplace Stress Have on My Performance?
The life of an employee. As you know, there are times that going to work is decent and manageable, and actually enjoyable to show up to.
Other times, however, unless you are the luckiest person to walk the Earth, the stress at work can be enough to make you want to quit or rip your hair out of your head.
Stress is inevitable in the workplace, and it’s not all bad. The right level of stress to meet a deadline or get certain things done within a period of time can keep you productive and able to function properly.
However, it’s when there is too much stress at work you are going to have a hard time trying to perform your best and maintain your sanity.
What Are Some Strategies to Help Manage My Own Stress in the Workplace?
To be clear, what creates stress for one individual, may not cause stress in another. As unique as people are, your solutions to address and manage stress in the workplace will also bestress. However, these strategies will be instrumental in helping to manage the level of stress you feel while at your place of occupation.
1. Pay Attention to How You Start Your Day. Be Positive.
When we settle into a career or even into a temporary job while we look for what is going to make us happy, it is important to pay attention to how we decide to start our day.
If you have a family and have to get the kids ready for school and they aren’t completely cooperative or you run into issues like a flat tire on the way to work or horrible drivers, it is important to remain calm.
A lot of people may not realize it but how we start our day and our attitudes moving forward before we get to work is going to dictate the rest of the day for us.
If you start off your day on the wrong side of the bed or in a typical bad mood because you let everything bother you before you actually clocked in, you can almost guarantee that the rest of your day is going to be a long and stressful one.
Separate your personal life from work. We hear this so often but, it is important to start doing it instead of hearing it.
Even when things at home or on the way to work are not going as planned try to figure out solutions to the problem instead of letting it affect your work.
Try making a plan for dealing with family and try leaving earlier for work to avoid rush hour drivers.
Remember to eat yourfter all.
Eating a balanced meal before we truly begin our day provides us with not only the energy to get through the day into our next meal, but also helps to keep our mood in check and our minds sharp allowing us to work at our highest capacity and potential.
Be positive, seriously. Sometimes, things are just going to go wrong in the morning and it is impossible to plan for everything. That’s okay! Don’t let it get you down and ruin the rest of your day!
When you have a crummy morning before work, keep a positive mindset when everything is fine. Nothing bad lasts forever.
2. Ask Your Employer if it is Possible to Work Remotely or Get Flexi-Time
This may not be a solution for all businesses, however, it will definitely be great for businesses that operate in an office environment.
Allowingcan do wonders for the stress level in the workplace and help boost morale.
If you are stressed because you have to make a commute to perform work that you know can be done at home, this is something to talk to the boss about.
You want to have the option to stay home and work but convincing your employer that they should allow you to do such a thing may prove daunting if you don’t know the right words or selling points to get them to agree to let you stay home and work.
To make that easier, here are some points you can pitch to your employer to get them to look at things from your perspective and think it’s their idea.
It’s a sign of trust and boosts productivity. Allowing an employee to work from home either completely or part of the time is perceived as a sign of trust in that employee.
In turn, they will be more willing to do the work that is assigned to them and be happier with the ability to spend more time at home with family while completing their duties at work getting more done.
Allowing an employee to work remotely also can be financially beneficial for both parties. By allowing them to work remotely, you have effectively cut down on the cost that is associated with traveling back and forth in the commute to and from work, they don’t have to worry about running late due to traffic. Furthermore, it reduces operating costs to the business.
Allowing flex-time reduces workplace stress and boost productivity. The stress of having to be at work at certain times and also the stress of when someone needs to stay home or handle another situation or engagement like their child’s baseball game or a doctor’s appointment.
If an employee wants to keep this privilege, they will ensure that they meet work deadlines.
Removes the stress of lost wages. Allowing an employee to take off work to make up the lost time another day by working overtime or coming in on the weekend is a great way to keep their stress down especially in terms of finances.
Remote options and flexi-time actually boosts company profits. Giving employees the option of working remotely at home or providing them with flexi-time is actually proven to increase morale and a company’s profit margin.
3. Make Sure You Know What Your Role in the Company is and the Chain of Command
One thing that will stress anyone out is not knowing who they are supposed to talk to or what exactly is expected of them within their position in the workplace.
Obviously, you want to know who you need to talk to when you have a question or concern and need to know the appropriate steps to get to the right person.
Knowing the chain of command is important because it shows that the business is organized.
I’m not sure about you but whenever I’ve had an issue I need to know who to talk to instead of running around in circles to get an answer for a problem that takes 20 seconds to fix.
That’s like being put on hold for customer service and no one knows who you need to talk to and you get transferred 7 times before you get ahold of the person you need to talk to and personally, that really grinds my gears. It’s unorganized and unprofessional.
When it comes to knowing your role, that is also extremely important. If you are working somewhere and what you are expected to do constantly changes or isn’t clearly laid out in front of you, you could easily become stressed out due to not knowing what your actual purpose is.
How do I Figure Out the Chain of Command and Know What my Responsibilities are?
Talk to your immediate supervisor. Your supervisor is also probably stressed out as well with people not knowing who they need to talk to for a specific problem or knowing what they are supposed to do.
Talk to them to find out where to get this information or for who you need to speak with regarding a problem. If they don’t know, go above them for the answer.
4. Avoid Negative Interactions and Whatever You do, Don’t Gossip
We all know that person at work, unfortunately. They always want to talk about whatever juicy details that they think they know about someone else’s life and they just have a way of sucking you into the conversation even though you may truly not care about anything they are talking about. This person is a gossiper and no one likes them.
Coincidentally, if you have a gossiper at work, you also probably see quite a few negative interactions among your coworkers. It’s a revolving door.
Drama occurs, then someone talks about it which brings more drama for someone to talk about.
You get it. It’s exhausting and it also negatively impacts your work environment and can create a hostile workplace that is going to stress everyone out including you.
What Can I do About Gossip and Negative Interactions in the Workplace?
Don’t gossip. to not be a part of it. No one likes being talked about behind their back.
So why do it to someone else. This is the golden rule that we learned about in kindergarten. Treat others how you want to be treated. That extends to times when they can see or hear you as well. If you do, it will come back to bite you.
Don’t talk about sensitive topicsthinking about it. There are 3 rules to live by; DNo inappropriate jokes in the workplace.
You run the risk of someone either becoming offended or overly passionate about a topic and it’s not worth the headache. Simply put: use common sense.
5. Make Time For Yourself to Unwind
When you have a long day at work it is important to just sit back, relax, and let go of the day that you had. It is of high importance that you take the time for yourself to do so.
Holding onto what might have made you upset or stressed you out for the day is only going to build, fester, and eventually carry-on over to your next shift at work, leading you to be stressed out, angry, and possibly even disgruntled.
This is true even if you work at home. Sometimes you need to take a step away from the computer, go to the gym and release all the tension that was built up due to tight deadlines or being behind on work.
We’re all human and it happens to all of us, you just have to take a moment to take a breath and move forward.
Try listening to music. Music is a great way to take away the stress of the day, even if you were at the point of seething rage at the moment.
We tend to listen to music based upon how we feel but for some reason, no matter the genre, it makes us feel better. Next time work gets you down, turn on the tunes to pick yourself back up.
Start a regular exercise regiment. Most people know that exercise provides individuals with a multitude of mental, physical, and emotional benefits, especially when it comes to stress.
Think about that fitness goal you wanted to attain so long ago. Begin exercising to achieve that goal and also to not lose your marbles at work. Remember, fit people, are happy people.
If you are looking to change the culture within your place of employment and are looking for ways to not only get your levels of stress under control, but your coworkers as well, you are going to need to bring some business knowledge and some thorough research to your employer.
Ideally your boss should want to keep his/ her employees happy, but they might be lost on how to address it themselves.
Here are some solutions to manage workplace stress you can present them to look into along with the facts as to how these types of programs can help with meeting or surpassing that bottom line.
Workplace Stress and Employee Health
Maybe your employer needs to understand how scientists define stress and its effects on people. Send him or her to check out this article by the Cleveland Clinic that gives a basic definition of stress and how it affects people.
William C. Shiel, defined stress a”
This means that stress, especially in the workplace, can affect you and your fellow employees negatively.
According to Dr. Shiel, stress can cause or even influence the development and course ofomplications to include:
Poorly controlled diabetes and various other conditions as well
This is clearly going to affect productivity within the workplace if employees aren’t healthy due to overwhelming stress.
In addition to loss of productivity due to poor health created by workplace induced stress, there is also the health cost that is going to associated with that.
An employer will have to pay 50% more in health costs for their stress employees. If everyone is stressed, that can quickly add up.
Between the loss of productivity, workdays, disengagement, and high staff turnover, this will need to be addressed.
Stress and Employee Retention
The first negative effect too much workplace stress has on the business that we are going to examine is employee retention.
Having too much stress among the employees in the workplace can be detrimental to the business you work with, your coworkers, and most importantly, yourself.
Some cause employees to become resentful of the business and is a serious killer to overall company morale.
Employees (most of them anyway) don’t expect the workplace to be stress-free, but they don’t expect to hate their lives while they are there.
When employees become too stressed, they become disillusioned with the company that they work with, and if one person decides to quit, then you have an issue. If the company culture is stressful and toxic, this is going to come in waves.
One person quitting due to stressful conditions can lead to multiple people quitting and leaving a lot of work that is no longer being completed to be passed on to another individual. This can potentially increase the stress level of that individual to the point of them wanting to leave as well.
Furthermore, when you and your coworkers are too stressed at work, don’t expect to get too much done. An abundance of workplace stress is actually shown to decrease levels of morale within the workplace which is also going to affect productivity.
Let’s be real; how much work do you actually get done when you’re stressed out and unhappy? We don’t imagine it’s as much as you would like.
Workplace Stress and its Effect on Revenuecauses an annual loss of 300 billion dollars a year in productivity.
What does this mean exactly? It is more expensive, running a business with a stressful work environment than it is to operate a business in a low-stress environment.
When employees are too stressed, it is difficult for them to produce work at the quality that is necessary for a client or consumer.
It leads to them cutting corners and not making sure that the job was done to the best of their ability due to an unreasonable deadline or them having an overbearing manager.
Having to train and hire new employees on a regular basis creates this same issue as well. When you need to hire another employee when you already had an individual who could do the job well but was overstressed in their position, then productivity and time are lost, fulfilling that job and training them to do the same thing.
If you want to maximize your company’s revenue and minimize your loss intoo stressed in their positions within the workplace.
Balancing The Assigned Workload to The Employees Based on Their Available Resources and Abilities.
People cannot work nonstop and not get stressed or have their health affected. Your employees will eventually need to take a break and get some rest.
Their duties and assignments need to be structured in a way that provides them with a work-life balance, which is one of the things that every employee wants.
Balancing their workload actually will reduce stress and boost productivity.
Allow Flexibility in Schedules.
s shows them that an employer trusts them enough to get their work done in a timely manner and also significantly boosts productivity in a business.
Due to reduced operating costs associated with flexi-time and remote work options, aside from the higher rate of production seen, the reduced operating costs actually boosts profitability.
Establish a Culture of Company Loyalty to Employees.
How your company is perceived by your employees is critical in managing workplace stress among your employees.
 8 out of 10 people say that they would actually take LESS pay within their current position if they view the company they worked for as fair and just. That’s saying a lot.heir employees don’t appear to be under a lot of stress.
Why is that? This is because the company learned to place their employees’ needs and aspirations first. The result: Extremely low turnover, happier employees, and high productivity.
Ensuring that your company is viewed positively in the eyes of your employees is extremely important and can eliminate a lot of potential stressors when they feel like their employer truly cares about them and their wellbeing.
Workplace stress can clearly have a lot of consequences. Both for you as an employee, but also for the business where you work.
Taking the initiative to figure out how to manage your stress by joining us in this article is a great first step in learning to get your stress under control and being able to be enjoyable to be around at work.
When you are less stressed out at work, you are able to show up without an issue, focus on the tasks you have before you, and get more done and everyone like a productive worker (they are the ones that usually get raises.)

The Many Benefits Of Roof Restoration For Your Home – Home Improvement Station – Helping Dreams Become Reality
By Matthew Agostinho Last updated May 23, 2018
If you are a home owner, there will come a point when your roof needs to be taken care of. Your current home might be quite old at this point and even though it is new to you, the house itself was built a number of years ago. It still remains as strong as ever structurally, it’s just that the roof is leaking a little and some tiles need replacing. You need to get your roofing guy up there to have a closer look because maybe things are happening that you can’t see from the street.  Completely putting a new roof onto a house is complicated and really expensive and one way to avoid that is to do some roof restoration.
Roof restoration from companies like OzPix Roof Restoration gets you many benefits and allows you to save a considerable amount of money. There is still life in your old roof, it just needs a little tender loving care, to get it back to the state it was before when it was first built. Roof restoration offers a number of benefits and we will look at some of them here.
It Saves You money – Doing a full roof replacement is very expensive to do and by deciding to restore your current roof, you have already saved yourself thousands of dollars. Restoring the roof requires less manpower and less materials and is usually half of what it would cost to put on a new roof.
Cools Down Your Home – When thinking of restoring your home, you might look at all of the new ways to make your home cooler and protect it from the Australian sun. For example, the application of some coatings goes a long way to reflecting the heat from your home and reducing your air conditioning bills. Ask about some cool roof solutions from your local roofing company.
There are tax benefits – If you are a business and you need to restore the roof of your business premises, then this is necessary maintenance and it has a tax advantage. You may also get additional tax benefits if you take steps to insulate your roof better and the Australian government has rewards for this in the form of tax reductions.
Increased Safety – Restoring your roof will make your home much safer for you and your family. Ignoring faults with your roof and only patching up here and there can lead to your roof collapsing in and around you. Your roof is your first line of defense against the elements and it is the thing that protects your home. You should always take care of it.
Less Intrusion – Replacing the roof of your house might mean having to move out of your property for the duration. Thankfully, roof restoration is a smaller job and can be completed while you are still living there with your family. It is also much faster to complete and much cleaner to do.
When thinking of doing work on your roof, look into restoring it to its former glory for a fraction of the cost of replacing the whole roof.

In t, innocent, farm boy Henry Fleming, is so intrigued by the Civil War that he enlists in the Union army against the advice of his mother. Henry enters the unnamed battle enthusiastic; however, his mother’s warnings about the dangers and wildness of war prove true. Overwhelmed by the intimidating battle environment, he flees from the regiment, a cowardly decision that would haunt him throughout the novel. Henry tries to compensate for his poor decision by convincing others he was actually a resilient hero. Although his deceit fools the regiment, Henry constantly feels guilty and is paranoid the men will discover his true, cowardly self. Despite his earlier cowardice, Henry eventually becomes so overwhelmed with the nature of war that he converts his fear to anger and runs to the enemy with no fear.

This event or idea has the power to cause one to lose their sense of morality. Technology and youth are a very controversial topic in today’s society. Many believe that technology in the hands of young kids is dangerous because it exposes them to things kids their age should not yet be exposed to.

Do you ever contemplate about what it would be like to be in combat in the Civil War because if so readers can get a good outlook of what it would be like to fight on the union side in both of these books The Red Badge of Courage and the Soldier’s Heart. In this essay one will be contrasting the two stories mentioned earlier. As well in this essay one will be comparing these two very informational and exciting stories about the civil war and the characters as well as how ironically the two characters have very many resemblances. While reading this essay one comprehends the two stories similarities and differences, also the reader will acquire knowledge about how the main characters in both of the stories have very similar points of view. There are very few differences between the stories Red Badge of Courage and Soldier’s Heart here are a few just to show how little they have in differences.

Prop 65 is a unique California law requiring businesses to warn consumers against products that may contain quantifiable amounts of over nine-hundred possible chemicals, including lead. Prop 65 limits for lead are in some cases nearly 1,000 times lower than the EPA’s “No Significant Risk Levels”. Due to the presence of lead in soil, plants of all types may naturally contain lead and other metals in trace amounts through no act of adulteration. While originally well intended, Prop 65 was vaguely written and ill-conceived, now allowing a host of opportunistic lawyermanufacturers by filing a flurry of notices alleging lead content in food products and seeking monetary gain in the form of a very costly settlement (over $26 million in settlements in 2015 alone). Most companies can prove the level is meaninglessly low — but that is extremely expensive to do in court. So, most companies end up settling even when they are not liable, to avoid the expense of litigation.
Otto's Naturals recently learned that Prop 65 has added plantains and cassava to their list ofWhile we believe that our products conform to Proposition 65, we are unable to bear the financial burden to fight this legal battle in court. Due to the seemingly endless risk and liability, Retailers, Manufacturers, Restaurants and others are posting warnings to excess which are now mostly ignored by the very people they are intended to protect.
We list all ingredients included in each of our Otto's Naturals products, both on our website and on each bag. In addition to being very delicious, we believe there are many health benefits to each of our ingredients.
Like many other companies, we are now regrettably forced to provide warnings to all California customers. Why do some snacks from companies have a warning and others don’t? Most likely, the company or supplier has not yet have implemented the warnings for their products yet, or they are not aware of the potential legal liability. It also could be that the supplier has determined that their product somehow falls within safe harbor rules or they are fighting the State of California.

Reds cut bait with Mike Moustakas, who is owed $22 million
Mike Moustakas’ tenure with the Cincinnati Reds is officially over. Moustakas, who has one year left on his contract and is owed $22 million, was designated for assignment on Thursday,eds general manager Nick Krall said the following in an explanation of the move, “”We had to look at it more for what our team is next year,” Reds General Manager Nick Krall said Thursday. “We’re already paying him. Whotough decision. They are all tough decisions. They are decisions made about good people and they are career-altering decisions for them. I just think for us, we had r organization.”
Krall described it as a tough decision. Moustakas had signed the largest contract in Reds history back in December of 2019, a deal worth $64 million over four years.
But the three-time All-Star, who mashed 35 homers in an All-Star campaign for the Milwaukee Brewers back in 2019, managed just a .683 OPS in three seasons with the Reds.
Cincinnati was rumored to be attempting to include Moustakas in trades for starting pitchers Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle, though no deals materialized ahead of the deadline.
Now, the Reds, clearly in a rebuild, had no room on the roster for the aging Moustakas- and thus had to make this tough decision.

Tons of words could be spent on portfolio preparation. And rightly so: there isn't one single, specific way to prepare it and much depends on WHAT you are presenting. The kind of project you are attempting to communicate demands, first of all, for an objective look from the outside. Often designers do not realise how engrossed they are in their project and take for granted things that should be explained, because from their own perspective everything is so personal and clear that it’s self-explanatory.
The message you are sending has to be strong, clear and most importantly all the information AND NOTHING ELSE...
In such cases, the first advice we can provide is to contact us directly via email to see if there's possible alternatives concerning sending pictures of finished pieces you might have right after the deadline and BEFORE the finalists' selections. We're flexible and always available for help (maybe that's the reason why "Support" is in our name?). in your research, concept and sketches.
The best way for your portfolio to be discarded is to organize your material in a messy, incoherent way. And there's not much space for interpretations here, the order of things has to be the following: present yourself (CV), tell us about your concept and what inspired it (research material), sketch out a lineup, then dive into each single piece/outfit through an artistic sketch and a technical sketch. Include samples of fabrics/materials so the jury can touch and feel what you will use. If you have out-of-the-ordinary techniques (weird or unseen stitching, revolutionary knitwear, jaw-dropping material bondings...) you might want to include samples of that too. Finally, include pictures of finished pieces (if you have them, see the above chapter "complete the pictures" otherwise).


Three Baton Rouge schools took the top honors in a recent “Future City” competition, which tasks middle schoolers with building a metropolis. The competition was featured last month by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.
Some teams’ participation in the regional competition at Southeastern University was delayed due to the recent winter weather, but the final results were announced this weekend.
St. Thomas More, which has been the perennial winner of the contest, won first place again and will head to the national finals in Washington, D.C. from Feb. 15 to 19.
Scotlandville Pre-Engineering Magnet Academy took second place out of five entrants, and Episcopal School of Baton Rouge took third. Episcopal also won an additional award from engineering firm CH2M-HILL, for the “most holistic approach” to the competition.

So during the 2015-2016 school year, she realized she could use running to help her students even more and started collecting pledges based on how many miles she could run on the track in a day. The money goes to a scholarship fund for her students and that first year, Fletcher did an impressive 40 miles. Then the second year, she ran 50 and this year, this amazing teacher ran 100 miles in 24 hours …
"I wanted to find a way to inspire my students to keep going when they were struggling to get to their own finish lines," Fletcher says. "So far, we've earned over $23,000 for our scholarship fund from this year's run alone. In total, we currently have three years' worth of sustainable scholarship money."

A Facebook page was started in hopes of locating Tyson alive but unfortunately his truck was found near the mountains. Shortly thereafter searchers found his body.
Tyson had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s encephalopathy two months before his untimely death. The family feels that the depression that often comes with HE/SREAT as well as perhaps the medications used to treat his condition lead to his suicide. You can read the family’s statement below.
Many people have asked how Tyson died. We want to share his story so that others can be aware of the rare disease that caused Tyson to take his life. We hope that through sharing his story it can bring more awareness to others and that we can stop the needless loss of life. The reason Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy is so rare is because it is often misdiagnosed.
On March 8th Tyson went home from work because his head hurt and was foggy. We found him in a catatonic state on the couch and rushed him to the hospital. Eventually he came back to his surroundings and was more aware; the doctors did multiple tests and told us nothing was wrong and he would be fine. Three weeks later he went into a comatose state so we rushed him to the ER. More tests were ran and with the opinion of multiple doctors he was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Encephalopathy: a rare disease that even the doctors who diagnosed him knew little about. He got started on medication (predominantly treated with steroids).
Due to his weak auto immune system it was inevitable that Tyson struggled with depression. The medication he was prescribed is known to cause and intensify thoughts of
