Ever been part of a marketing team that struggled to hit its stride—possibly one full of talented yet frustrated colleagues all hyper-focused on their individual roles? It's a real missed opportunity when marketing teams fall short of making magic because the conditions aren't yet in place for it to excel. The result tends to be tension, higher-than-average employee turnover and missed revenue opportunities for the company.
Organizations who want to maximize marketing return on investment (ROI), build a great company culture and retain top talent need to purposefully create the infrastructure and processes marketing teams need to thrive.
Here are four hallmarks of truly effective marketing teams today.
Clear Roles & Expectations
It may seem readily apparent, but defining roles and setting clear expectations for each person on the team goes a long way in helping employees understand the scope of their duties. Laying out these expectations and clarifying them regularly will help marketers avoid redundancy and keep miscommunication to a minimum.
One marketing director writes for Forbes, employees are "free to do their best work" when they understand what's expected of them and are supported in their endeavors by colleagues and team leaders. This points to the importance of building expectation setting and accountability right into the very culture of the team and company.
Power to Generate Revenue
Feeling engaged at your job depends in part on knowing you're making an impact. This satisfaction is amplified when employees feel they're directly contributing to company performance; rather than chasing abstract key performance indicators (KPIs) there's a sense they're making a real difference in the business's bottom line.
Tying marketing performance to revenue impact will help employees continue to stay engaged in their roles. Demonstrate the bigger picture to your marketing team—not only are they working for a salary, but their actions and decisions are an irreplaceable part of what allows your organization to grow.
Data-Driven Approach to Problem Solving
Speaking of revenue impact, the latest wave of marketing analytics from providers like ThoughtSpot allow employees to perform their own ad hoc data queries, create automatic visualizations and share their findings with others throughout the company in seconds. There's no longer the need to submit requests to a centralized IT or data team then wait the requisite days or weeks to receive a static report answering specific questions. Data analytics today are giving users the ability to drill down on the spot for a more well-rounded understanding of performance metrics and insights.
Nowadays, it's possible for even non-technical users to ask questions and get answers on an as-needed basis—empowering marketers to optimize how they make decisions, then understand their impact. Giving your marketing team the tools they need to take a data-driven approach to problem-solving has the potential to reduce operational inefficiencies and optimize revenue streams. Embedded analytics even integrate directly into business apps and company workflows for easy access to search analytics and dashboards full of insights.
Customer Obsessed
Ever come back from lunch to find you're CC'd on an "Re: re: re: re:" email chain? Wading through everyone's replies tends to be taxing—and this is how important nuggets of information slip through the cracks on marketing teams.
Building an effective communications strategy requires the right tech and clear guidelines for employees. Are team members supposed to use Slack? Email? A shared project management tool? A company portal? An internal messaging system? Choose the simplest tools for the job, then make sure everyone on the team gets the memo so they know how to best communicate. Provide training and how-to guides as needed so employees can get the most from each tool.
Truly effective marketing teams today operate with clear expectations regarding job duties and communication. They're able to take a data-driven approach to problem-solving, and they understand the genuine impact they have on the organization's bottom line.

Recently I received a call from a clergy colleague with whom I attended seminary many years ago. She called seeking guidance about developing a congregational policy statement that would inoculate her church from possible litigation in the event it confronted and refused a request to perform a same-sex marriage.
The Supreme Court's recent decision in Obergefell v. Hodges affirming marriage equality in all 50 states has, of course, raised the level of scrutiny on the church's role in validating same-sex marriage. As an attorney, guiding my colleague on the legal matter was not difficult, but I also reflected on the question through the lens of my faith.
What I found ironic about my friend's inquiry is that while seeking legal protection she was also searching for a way to limit her congregation's role in responding through ministry to a significant community. Ministry calls us to outreach. As people of faith, we are challenged to extend a grace-filled welcome through openness and engagement. Unfortunately, too often the question many ask in our faith communities is: "How can we restrict our ministry efforts and resist engaging those whom we call other?" One of the challenges facing many of our faith communities is addressing the charge to create inclusive community.
In the 11th chapter of Matthew, Jesus said: "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
My classmate's query made me ponder what Christ meant when he extended his invitation of rest to the weary and burdened. Did you ever wonder how expansive God's love is? God's love is so extraordinary that it reaches beyond the common boundaries we have set between those whom we accept and reject. We find it easy to promote our definitions of sin but difficult to understand the expansiveness of God's grace.
The challenge for our faith communities is finding ways we can reach those at the margins of our society. The mission of the church is not restrictive but a charge to always be open to what new thing God is doing. The nature of the Holy Spirit is not static; it is evolutionary, bringing meaning to the lives of people who have been beaten, alienated, forgotten, broken, displaced, shunned and given up on.
Peter Berger, in his groundbreaking work on social construction, "The Sacred Canopy," describes the alienating role that our religious communities can manifest. In many instances, he proposes, our congregations serve as social markers that define insiders and outsiders.
Too often our faith communities alienate people because we find it difficult to live with and work through the tension of conflict. To enter into dialogue on the issues that divide us, we must learn to address the discord caused by our varied ideological positions and overcome the aversion we feel toward those who tax our particular theological or biblical worldview.
I was heartened by Pope Francis' recent visit to Latin America. In the closing homily in Paraguay, the pope called for a more welcoming Catholic church that is "open to those who do not think as we do." The pope went on to say, "You don't convince people with arguments, strategies or tactics. You convince them by learning how to welcome them. For that, it is necessary to keep the doors open, above all, the doors to the heart."
What is most frightening for most of us, however, is that when we open our doors and hearts to others, it is actually our communities and congregations that may be transformed. Therein lies the radicality of the gospel.

I dreamt last night that
a genie would grant me one wish
I wished for death.
Then I woke
We are all broken.
Fractured lives
grasping for some form of normality
choking for some clarity
It follows me wherever I go.
When I wake in the morning,
when I retire in the evening.
I talk all day but
I have no one to talk to.
I listen to people talk.

Irish turn to homoeopathy
Irish turn to homoeopathy
MORE than 20% of Irish milk producers have tried homoeopathic remedies to treat mastitis or high cell count cows and 43% believe that they work.
So said John Egan of the Dublin Central Vet Research Laboratory, following a recent producer survey. However, he warned that many studies show no benefit from homoeopathic treatments, compared with self-cure – when cows sucessfully fight the infection themselves.
"I cannot say whether they work or not, but evidence is needed to justify claims made for products." Much of the product evidence is anecdotal, he added.
In the herds surveyed, 50% added products to drinking water, 27% administered products by injection, 6% orally dosed cows and 6% of herds placed products in the vagina.

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education granted reaccreditation for an eight-year term to Atlantic Cape Community College at its June 21, 2018 session, according to Dr. Barbara Gaba, president of Atlantic Cape.
The Middle States action followed an intensive 18-month self-study process that culminated in a Middle States Commission team visit in early April. The college's self-study involved the participation of more than 70 faculty and staff members with the goal of completing a detailed analysis of all areas of the college's operation. During the Middle States Commission team visit, the Board of Trustees, members from the Atlantic Cape Foundation, faculty, students and staff were interviewed. Continue reading

Where something goes badly wrong at a hearing it is sometimes necessary for the advocate who was present to explain events as part of the appeal process. It has become customary in immigration proceedings for the advocate to have to write a witness statement and therefore, because he or she is by doing so giving evidence, to stand down from the case and hand over to a colleague. Upper Tribunal judges have seemed insistent that an advocate can barely breath a word of what might have happened at the previous hearing without spontaneously combusting.
As far as I am aware, this is unique to immigration law. I once had an issue like this myself and approached my joint heads of chambers, both very senior and well respected family law barristers, to check that I was indeed obliged to stand down from the case, which was what I had been led to believe by my experience in the immigration tribunal. I remember the discussion well: they simply did not understand what I was saying. "But you best know what happened and can best explain the issues, surely the appeal court will want you to retain conduct of the case?" one said. "You can't just give up on your client like that, you are obliged to retain conduct if you possibly can," said the other.
The difference in approach between immigration law and the rest of the legal world is perhaps explained by what sometimes feels like a lack of trust and respect between advocates and judges, by the distorting effect of how the Home Office chooses to be represented and by some of the other oddities of the immigration tribunal. For example, advocates for opposing parties would normally be able to agree on any deficiencies in the hearing process and any such agreement would be accepted by the appeal court. That is basically impossible where the Home Office is so impossible to communicate with and where there is no continuity of representation. Normally, the judges will have had some direct experience themselves as advocates or lawyers in the area of law in question, which is unusual in the immigration tribunal. Normally, there would be little chance of an unfair hearing or allegations of unfairness in the first place because both sides would be robustly represented and the judge would make a decision on the case there and then rather than going away to think about it and potentially come up with new ideas that were not articulated in the hearing.
A marriage between the two approaches is attempted in BW (witness statements by advocates) Afghanistan [2014] UKUT 00568 (IAC), a determination from the President of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber, Mr Justice McCloskey:
Where an advocate makes a witness statement in the circumstances outlined above, a change of advocate may be necessary, since the roles of advocate and witness are distinct, separated by a bright luminous line. An advocate must never assume the role of witness.
The President makes clear, though, that it will be rare that this is necessary, and it will not be necessary where unfairness is apparent on the face of the determination in question. It is possible to discuss what happened at the hearing without giving evidence.
On the facts of the case, the alleged unfairness had arisen when the First-tier judge had declared his decision on a key issue before submissions had been heard on it. The advocate had prepared a statement to accompany grounds of appeal and stood down as advocate. The Home Office did not dispute the allegation and conceded there was error of law, a concession the Upper Tribunal considered was properly made. The case was remitted for re-hearing by a different judge.

The law offices of Goldberg Law Group have been helping victims of auto accidents for decades. If you are looking for a great Hyannis car accident lawyer, then we're here to fight for you. We understand that it can be very traumatic to suffer an injury in an accident as a result of a negligent driver. Often, these accident cases can become extremely complex, and it is important that you have knowledgeable and experienced representation to help you through the process.
Goldberg Law Group has over 55 years of combined experience dealing with injury claims, and we are the most trusted law firm in the Hyannis area. Our experience will directly benefit your own personal care needs. We will fight for your rights and help you go after the liable parties to get the compensation that you deserve.
Since Massachusetts has no-fault (PIP) coverage for most insurance policies, you can count on your own insurance company to be there financially for medical expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses if you are involved in an auto accident. The issue here is that most insurance companies are only interested in their bottom line. Their job is to settle with you for as little money as possible, regardless of what you might actually be entitled to as a result of your accident.
Even if your accident was completely the fault of the other driver, or you were a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle, your insurance company is not going to fight to get you everything that you deserve.
Massachusetts PIP Coverage and Your Options
Massachusetts is a no-fault insurance state. What that means is that the system is designed to promptly pay for medical expenses and other accident-related out-of-pocket expenses. That personal injury protection (PIP) insurance is there to pay for the insured's medical claims, regardless of who was at fault in the accident.
The issue here is that often, in an accident, the damages sustained can cost so much more than the limits the insurance companies are willing to pay out. PIP will pay seventy-five (75) percent of your gross actual lost income (if you miss work as a result of the accident), as well as medical expenses, and any replacement of household services.
While that might sound like everything you need, often times the PIP limits are inadequate to cover all of your losses.
Often times injured parties are stuck with overwhelming medical bills that could potentially ruin them financially.
If the out-of-pocket damages you suffered as a result of the accident exceed the amount that your insurance company is willing (or required) to pay, what are you supposed to do? Furthermore, the no-fault (PIP) benefits do not cover any pain and suffering at all!
To be eligible to file a lawsuit for pain and suffering and these additional expenses, you have to meet just one (1) of several criteria first. The criteria include that the motor vehicle accident:
- Causes death;
- consists in whole or in part of a loss of a body part;
- consists in whole or in part of permanent and serious disfigurement;
- results in loss of sight or hearing (as described in the statute);
- consists of broken or fractured bones; or
Injured party incurred medical expenses that exceed $2,000.00.
The criteria might initially seem a little vague, but that can actually be favorable when you are attempting to file a lawsuit for the money you might be owed. A good attorney can negotiate with the insurance companies to get you a favorable settlement, based on the facts from your accident, which could be more than they were initially willing to pay.
A Good Attorney Gets You Everything You Deserve from Your Auto Accident
Every Hyannis car accident lawyer promises to get you every penny that you are owed, but the process is much more complex than just filing your claim or lawsuit. In reality, the extent of your damages from the accident will ultimately decide exactly how much you might be entitled to receive. If you suffer a life-altering accident which leaves you with an extensive medical recovery, like a brain injury, then it is extremely important to have an experienced, knowledgeable, quality lawyer on your side.
Regardless if your injury is extensive or relatively minor, like whiplash or broken bones, you are still going to have medical bills that will need to be paid; and you will still suffer pain and suffering. If you are permanently disfigured from your accident, you might be able to return to work, but your overall quality of life might be affected dramatically. What if your injuries can be corrected only through some extensive reconstruction surgery? Those medical bills aren't going to be cheap, and you might have out of pocket expense even after insurance has given you what they call "fair" settlement.
Most accidents can take a very long time to recover from, and the medical bills will often quickly add up and become overwhelming. If you were not the at-fault driver, then you deserve to be compensated for all the impact the accident had or will have on your life. Goldberg Law Group has experienced attorneys ready and willing to help you get the compensation you deserve. Goldberg Law Group, "Lawyers who listen, Lawyers who care."™
Insurance Companies Worry About Insurance Companies
Ultimately, the insurance company is NOT on your side at all. They are on their side and will do whatever they can to make sure your settlement fits within their own budgetary needs. They will do a good job of making it appear that they have your best interests at heart, however, your interests will never trump their bottom line.
In their quest to seem like they are on your side, Insurance Companies employ certain tactics intended to get you to make statements that they will eventually use against you in the settlement of your claim. They will ask for your version of the accident under the guise that they are just gathering information to quickly process your claim. The problem here is that they will often use this statement and manipulate your words against you. They can make it seem as if you are admitting to some fault for the accident which might affect the amount of money they ultimately decide to offer you as part of your settlement.
This can be disheartening, to say the least. Again, they are looking out for their best interests and are hoping to minimize the amount they have to give you in the settlement. Comparative negligence laws state that the amount of your settlement can be reduced depending on your own at-fault percentage of the accident.
This is where a good law firm can work with you and the insurance company to get a truly fair settlement. We can help you build a statement which is accurate, truthful and will not be construed against you if you were indeed the victim of the accident.
Your Hyannis Car Accident Lawyer is Here to Fight for You
At Goldberg Law Group will work tirelessly for you with each insurance provider to get the best possible settlement that you deserve. We have very competent attorneys and experts who are here to evaluate the full extent of your injuries, and to figure out exactly how much time and care you will need for your recovery. All this can be then translated into a fair settlement amount. We will look at the following items to determine your case:
- All medical costs to include current and future expenses
- Lost income as a result of your injuries
- Your projected future lost or impaired earnings
- Lost Increases and bonuses to your future earnings
- Repair and replacement costs for your vehicle
- Any prescription medications and medical equipment you might need
- Damage to personal relationships (marriage and family)
- Pain and suffering
- The loss to your quality of life to include any household services
Our attorneys will take the time to learn about you and your claim and examine the full extent of your accident. We are ultimately looking at any and all factors that lead to the accident, and the way in which your injuries from this accident will negatively impact your life.
At Goldberg Law Group we will take the time to look at every possible factor responsible for your accident. It is important to identify all responsible parties to best determine who might be held responsible, even beyond the insurance companies.
We will gather the necessary evidence and any eyewitness testimony that would be applicable in your case. This helps us to create the strongest case for you. It's tough to argue with evidence. You might not have even realized initially that another party was partly at fault for your accident. A strong investigation can make or break your case.

Graham: Al Qaeda Still In U.S.
A congressional investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks has concluded that between 70,000 and 120,000 terrorists were trained by al Qaeda and some are still in the United States, Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., said Sunday.
"We have to assume that as those people were placed around the world, some were placed inside the United States. Some of them are in the United States today," Graham said in a televised interview.
After months of investigation and a series of congressional hearings last year, the House and Senate Intelligence panels wrapped up their report Dec. 20 and released a summary.
The full classified report is still under review at the FBI and CIA, which are trying to determine whether any disclosure of information might pose a risk to national security and should remain secret.
Graham, a Democratic presidential candidate, was the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee when the investigation was completed last year. He has criticized the administration repeatedly for delaying release of the report. He said Sunday the administration has approved inclusion of the estimate of al Qaeda's terrorist training in the final report.
Graham said that estimate shows that the Bush administration "lost focus" when it turned its attention to war with Iraq.
"We allowed al Qaeda to regroup and regenerate," he said. "They've conducted a series of very sophisticated operations, thus far none of it in the United States, but seven Americans were killed in Saudi Arabia."
Another Democratic presidential contender, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, said Sunday the administration should move rapidly to bring other countries into the postwar occupation of Iraq to take the focus off American troops.
"We have to diffuse the perception in reality of American occupation," Kerry, one of nine candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, said in a televised interview.
"The obligation of the United States government and the president is to rapidly internationalize the effort in Iraq, get the target off of American troops, bring other people, particularly Muslim-speaking and Arab-speaking Muslim troops, into the region," Kerry said.
"The president clearly doesn't have a plan to do that, and we're paying a price for it," he said.
Kerry also said the controversy this week over Mr. Bush's State of the Union address raises "enormous questions" about the quality of U.S. intelligence gathering.
The administration acknowledged that a British claim of Iraqi uranium shopping in Africa should not have been included in the State of the Union address because it had been questioned by U.S. intelligence sources. CIA Director George Tenet took responsibility Friday for allowing the statement to remain in the address.
Kerry said Tenet's statement doesn't "answer the question or questions about what really happened."
Graham said Vice President Dick Cheney first asked the CIA to determine whether Saddam Hussein's government was trying to obtain uranium from the African country of Niger.
He said Cheney must have been given a report on the investigation by Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who went to Niger last year and concluded that the government had not contracted to sell uranium to Iraq. Administration officials have said the White House had no knowledge of Wilson's report.
"That stretches belief," Graham said.

Leasing & Financing at MINI of Mount Laurel
When you set out to buy a car, you have several options for payment. Two of the most common are leasing and financing. Leasing is a shorter-term option that involves making smaller payments over two or three years. With a lease, you never fully own the vehicle. Instead, you pay for the right to drive it for an agreed-upon length of time. When the lease ends, you can either renew on the same vehicle or take out a lease on another one. The other option you have is financing a car. Financing a vehicle means that you make more substantial monthly payments. Once you make the final payment, you are officially the owner of the car.
Used Inventory
At MINI of Mount Laurel, you will find the latest vehicles. However, you will also find a varied selection of pre-owned vehicles as well as Certified Pre-Owned MINI vehicles.

Hurley liked shorthanded ASU's defense, fight vs. Mississippi State
Arizona State needed key stops and big shots to hang on to a win over No. 15 Mississippi State on Monday night.
Coach Bobby Hurley's Sun Devils took a 72-67 victory over the Bulldogs in Las Vegas to set up a title game appearance against Utah State in the MGM Main Event tournament. They dropped a ranked opponent with a solid first punch, a strong defensive performance and Kimani Lawrence's huge three late.
There were also chips on the Sun Devils' respective shoulders.
"It's the guys we've recruited. They want to play in games like this, high-level games," Hurley told Doug & Wolf on 98.7 FM Arizona's Sports Station. "A number of Mississippi State guys are on NBA Draft boards. They have multiple threats and are a top-20 team. The whole deal, I think our guys feel like we're not being looked at in that regard. They had a chip on that shoulder."
Somebody apparently forgot to tell Hurley that the highest-rated NBA prospect in the game was ASU freshman Luguentz Dort, who scored 17 points.
Nonetheless, the Sun Devils played as if the missing numeral before their name in the box score bothered them.
Lawrence scored 22 points to lead ASU, matching the output of MSU's Aric Holman, a top 100 NBA Draft prospect, according to ESPN.
Point guard Remy Martin, on an ankle sprain bad enough to keep him out of the morning shootaround, scored 16 points to go with seven assists. He held up against guard Lamar Peters, who shot 3-of-12 and scored 10 points to go with six assists. Peters is also a top-100 ESPN-rated prospect.
From a team standpoint, ASU's defense held a team that was averaging 84 points through three games to 67 points on 36 percent shooting.
Arizona State went to a long lineup at times and switched to a zone to emphasize its size — something it couldn't do last season.
"With Remy out of the game if I'm giving him a breather — that I have (shooting guard) Luguentz Dort at point guard at 6-4 and everyone else on the court is 6-7 or bigger, it makes sense to do it," Hurley said. "I think it's a good change-of-pace for us."
And most impressive of all to Hurley, something that validates his team's apparent chip on the shoulder: the Sun Devils defeated a ranked team without Rob Edwards, the guard transfer who has missed all but the opener due to a back injury.
"What everyone may not even know is the guy I thought would probably lead us in scoring right now isn't even playing right now and we're still beating a top-25 team," Hurley said.

I had always struggled with my weight and even more so with the motivation to keep going once I started. I had not weighed myself in many years and in Oct 2011 I hopped on the scales and was horrified at the three HUGE numbers, almost mid 100's. I knew right then and there that I had to change.
I began working out at my local gym 6 days a week, completely transformed my nutrition and had dropped a considerable amount of weight. I was feeling good and was in control of my life for the first time in years. I continued this trend until I went overseas on a month long holiday. When I returned, I soon worked out my old gym routine just wasn't cutting it anymore. I had seen an ad for a one on one session and when I enquired I was promised a "different style" of training and guaranteed results. What could I have to loose? I still remember my first session and wasn't sure if I wanted to cry, vomit, pass out or die. Somehow I made it to the end and despite the pain I felt during the workout, it was far outweighed by the feeling of satisfaction when I had finished. From that moment on I knew this was going to be exactly what I needed.
Fast-forward almost 2 years later, I am leaner, stronger and definitely fitter than I can ever remember being; I am ADDICTED. I look forward to the challenges that face me each and every time I step into the gym. I love the variety and the growth that comes with functional training. I have also made some wonderful friends in this time. There is definitely a sense of family, who constantly motivate and inspire each other to succeed. I cannot remember a life before it. My life has transformed in ways I could never imagine all thanks to StrengthCity.*
"I highly recommend StrengthCity in every way. After the birth of my 4th baby I struggled to regain my figure. Chloe and Rhys were able to give me the tools needed to lose the weight, increase my fitness, build muscle and strength and find my confidence again. The workouts were even tailored around my recovery after my c-section which was awesome. I felt that my needs and goals were listened to and that the personal one on one service they provide to set your goals and do regular progress assessments really do keep the incredible results coming in. The classes were challenging but with such a supportive team environment it was something I really looked forward to every day. I have met some beautiful friends at StrengthCity and really would tell anybody who wanted to lose weight, build muscle or increase their fitness to come and check them out!"
Well where do I start… I pretty much have struggled with my weight all my adult life. Once I had kids it was harder and harder to lose the weight as I'd put on approx 30kgs with each of my 4 kids, so by the last one I definitely was on struggle street.
I've joined gyms but having kids I had to pay a babysitter to go and I was finding it less and less motivating to go and all I would use was the treadmill or cross-trainer. So I ended up cancelling my membership. I went on Michelle Bridges for the 12wks which I loved as I was doing the workouts at home, and was eating as close to Michelle's recommendations while still having to cook for a family. I lost 7kgs, I was stoked that I was losing weight. But once the 12wks were up that was it there was no more online support I was cut off from all food recipes and the workouts. So the weight started going up again.
Then one day my friend told me about a place that does transformation packages. I was like yeah ok I'll come give it a go. I had never done this type of package before so I didn't know what to expect. Oh my goodness it was hard! In my first class, we had to do pull ups using a band to assist us in getting our chin above the bar…well I couldn't even do that. So one of the coaches had me scale and do Ring Rows instead. I couldn't wait for that class to finish & I was out of there! I remember walking away from that class thinking I'm never going back again. But the next day I was back again and that was it I was addicted!
A year on I'm still going and have never felt so good about myself. I've lost a total of 16kg and I'm leaner than I've ever been, I weigh more than I use to but my measurements are far smaller. I can even fit into my school skirt!! I'm stronger than I've ever been and I look forward to what each day brings at the gym.
Back in January I got diagnosed with arthritis in both of my knees. It devastated me. All I wanted to do was quit. I wasn't allowed to squat more than 30 degrees, no running, no jumping pretty much nothing that would put pressure on my knees. I spoke to Chloe about where to go from here. She said not a problem I could still workout and I was so happy. So my workouts were scaled to suit me and my injuries. Now my knees are touch and go, some days I can squat and not have to scale but other days I just have to do something else. I feel like I'm being a pain having to ask "what can I do" but both Rhys and Chloe always have an option for me.
I would highly recommend StrengthCity to anyone and everyone. I doesn't matter what your fitness level is or if you've got injuries you'll get addicted to it like me.*
I always struggled with losing weight but keeping it off was another struggle!! I lacked the motivation as I hated going to packed gyms and I hated dieting…. I was unfit and insecure about my body but I just didn't know where to start… Then one day I saw an advertisement for a 12 week challenge and I thought this is what I need!!! I need someone to encourage and inspire me to push myself to get the results I could only dream of….
I still remember the very first session….. It was brutal but funnily enough I pushed through to the end and I loved it!! It made me feel alive, and from that day on I was ADDICTED…. Day in & day out I put 110% into every session and then when I started seeing the results I knew that all my blood sweat and tears were worth it!!! I couldn't have done it without the constant support and guidance of Chloe & Rhys. They have changed my life for the better. I'm fitter, stronger, healthier and happier than I have ever been and not to mention the new friends I've made along the way it's like a little family.
The atmosphere at the gym is amazing. It's intimate and everyone is supportive and encourages one another to push that little bit harder!!! To be honest you couldn't ask for better trainers (who actually practice what they preach!) I would highly recommend StrengthCity to anyone, I know I won't be leaving StrengthCity anytime soon… so I'll see you there *
My name is Jessica and I am 24 years old and I have been training at StrengthCity and absolutely loving it. The person you would see now is very different to the person I was not too long ago.
I spent roughly 2 years with an eating disorder and depression. I was on antidepressants which took me from depressed to apathetic. I decided to sign up for the 28 day challenge at StrengthCity as I'd heard about it through my partner. I didn't know how I would find the energy and enthusiasm for exercise but I went along anyway. In addition to this I also have an adverse reaction to adrenaline which causes significant distress in my body when I perform certain exercises. With all these challenges I was facing I decided to commit anyway.
From the first session I felt empowered because I worked harder than I ever thought I could. I surpassed my expectations of what I am capable of. The trainers were so encouraging and despite all I was facing they knew I could still work hard and achieve my goals. Carrying an arm injury, my trainers didn't let me slack off. They accommodated my injury and found alternative exercises for me to do to ensure I kept on track to reaching my goals. This showed me that even with injury or illness there is always an alternative which still keeps you active and getting stronger.
The trainers at StrengthCity helped me with my eating plan, which promoted healthy eating to support muscle growth. This helped me to accept my new fit body and becoming more comfortable with putting on lean muscle following barely eating for two years.
With guidance to perform exercises correctly and constant guidance around eating, I felt very supported in my journey. Overcoming depression happened so rapidly I could hardly believe it. Going through my challenge with a great group of girls also helped so much in getting me back each day as I felt part of a group and more motivated to show up.
After only 4 short weeks I was off antidepressants and feeling much happier and more confident.
StrengthCity gave me a new direction for my life and inspired me to achieve my fitness goals. I can't recommend StrengthCity enough. My first class at StrengthCity has been a defining moment in my life. I can't wait to see the changes I go through in the future as I get stronger.*
From a very early age I've never really had to worry about my fitness, as my father threw me into every martial arts class he could. The more varied and challenging the better. I've always trained hard and with a specific purpose in mind. But at some point this caught up to me. At 20, I had more injuries then I could count; torn cartilages, frozen rotator cuffs, damaged discs in my lower back and a jaw that dislocated regularly.
I was unable to train and unable to move without severe pain. Angry with myself and at my martial arts for the damage that had been inflicted, I began putting on weight. Which in fact caused my injuries to get worse. At 21 I got a wake up call, my chiropractor told me that if I didn't do something with my injuries soon I wouldn't be walking in my old age. So I joined a gym and met my old trainer who took me through rehab and taught me how to Olympic lift. The muscle I was building stabilised my injuries and I was able to get back into training. When I turned 23 she left to go home to Sweden and I stopped lifting weights. The injuries came back slowly. My movements were slower and my knee began to give out again. The back pain returned and I was really unhappy with my general fitness. I realised too late that I had been relying on her to keep myself focused.
At the beginning of this year I started teaching and looked around at the types of lifestyles I saw in the occupation and realised I needed to make a change. I saw an advertisement on Facebook for a gym and decided I'd apply and see what it was like. A day later I got a phone call from Rhys to set up an appointment. We talked about my goals and my overall state of fitness. Then on the Monday I started at StrengthCity.
It's been over 30 weeks at StrengthCity now and I'm hooked. The knowledge I've gained from training and nutritional classes has really helped to improve my life and my health. During this time I've even completed a fitness competition and lost a massive 10kgs in the process. I'm faster and stronger in my martial arts training then I ever was. I have even managed to start training without a knee brace. I'm in the best shape of my life and being able to see my goals achieved has only made me want to be better in every aspect of my life.
I can say without any doubt that if it wasn't for the support and advice of my amazing trainers Rhys and Chloe I would never have achieved these kinds of results. As trainers they continually strive to improve their knowledge and techniques to help support the different needs of their clients. They even take the time to teach the knowledge their clients need to live a healthy lifestyle.
They make sure that the sessions are intense and diverse and both Chloe and Rhys make sure that your weaknesses soon become your strengths. They've pushed me to learn and to motivate myself into a new way of thinking and I couldn't thank them enough for this. StrengthCity has changed my life forever.*
When I started at StrengthCity, I had zero confidence in myself. I hated my appearance and I hated my body; which in turn lead me to despise myself. I had known for ages that I needed to do something, and I knew that once I started that I'd be on track, I just hadn't found the right track to start. So when I got the call responding to a StrengthCity Facebook ad, I had no idea of the physical/mental/emotional journey I was about to embark on.
The physical changes to my body have been one awesome thing all in itself, but the thing I'm most proud about are the emotional and mental changes that have happened within me. They ARE my biggest achievement. I'm finally at a place where I accept that I HAVE fat, not AM fat, that working hard in the gym AND the kitchen go hand in hand, and most importantly, I continue working out because I LOVE myself. I love my body, and I WANT to care for it.
A lot of these changes I had to make in my own head, but they were fast tracked and guided by the insane dedication and care from Chloe and Rhys. As trainers they went far above and beyond, even banding together with me and another girl through a body building competition. It's really great to be part of a community, and not just a gym. I am SO grateful that I had the opportunity to learn and grow from them.*
The photo on the left was me at the end of a trip to Hawaii. I had just spent the last three weeks partying hard, indulging in American food, drinking copious amounts of beer and definitely no gym. I returned feeling bloated, lacking energy and looking chubby. I knew I had to get back into shape fast. So I put myself on the same training and nutritional principles we teach you and this got me looking ripped and feeling strong and healthy again. I shredded 6kg of fat, increased muscle mass and strength, and had the physique I was proud of.*
"When I went to StrengthCity I had a goal in mind, which was so far out of my comfort zone, so I went without a lot of people knowing so I could give it my best shot. Chloe and Rhys pushed me to find my strengths and work on my weakness. I did so many personal bests! 92.5kg deadlifts! I followed my meal plans, was totally focused every day and meal prepped every week. My body assessment was every 4 weeks which kept me on track. I never missed a training session! I loved the weekly challenges! Doing things I haven't done since a child! Eg – handstands! I loved my time at StrengthCity. I have met some wonderful people along the way. Thanks so much for your support and guidance through my journey!!"
My name is Craig and I'm 44 years old. In December 2013 I looked in the mirror and was very unhappy with what I saw so I weighed myself and at 138kg, I got a big shock. I've always been an active person but I was finding it harder to do everyday things like mow the lawn and keep up with my two little girls aged 3 years and 16 months. It was at this point I knew I had to do something about it.
I had heard people at work talking about StrengthCity so I decided to give their classes a go. So at the start of December my first session was a one on one with Chloe and boy I thought I was going to die but I got through it. When I started I couldn't even string one skip together, run 200m without stopping and didn't have the strength to lift weight.
In just 3 short months I now run most of my workouts without stopping, can do 300 single skips, I have a back squat of 105kg, a front squat of 90kg and a deadlift of 145kg. Beside all the person records I have been achieving, I've lost 33kg! I am feeling great, have more energy to work and play with the kids but none of this would be possible without hard work and support from my coaches and the gym family and to them I thank from the bottom of my heart as they have helped me take back control of my life. I still have along way to go but I know I will get there.This is my journey. I hope you come and join us at the gym and create your own journey with the StrengthCity family.*

1. All students who, as part of their program, undertake activities where interaction with patients/the public is required, such as in field or clinical placements/visits and in University clinics and gyms, must demonstrate that they have a current National Police Certificate (NPC) through SAPOL (or their home state police service) and a current Department of Human Services (DHS) Working With Children Check (WWCC) which is valid for the duration of the program. The National Police Certificate will list disclosable court outcomes that may prevent clinical placement involvement. The University has a process for reviewing these outcomes to assess suitability for placement.
2. Students are required to satisfy the standard of dress and behaviour prescribed by institutions in which clinical placements are undertaken. Failure to satisfy such requirements may prevent students from completing the program.
3. Maximum credit allowed - normally up to two thirds of the total units of the program.
4. The program requires participation in practical classes where manual skills are practiced. Essential learning activities in some classes may require that students partially remove their clothing to a level that is appropriate to the learning activity. Students may also be asked to act as subjects for their peer group members. If a student is unable to meet these requirements they may be at risk of being unable to successfully complete course objectives and assessments and progress through the program.
5. Participation is required in practical classes and clinical placements where students are required to physically handle people including lifting and supporting people with disabilities.
1. The clinical courses (Medical Imaging Clinical Practice 2-4, Medical Imaging Honours Clinical Practice 4, Medical Imaging Professional Entry Practice 1-2 and Medical Imaging Honours Professional Entry Practice 1) form a significant part of the program and students are required to be reasonably fit to successfully undertake these components.
2. Students will be required to complete a clinical placement at a rural or regional location.
3. Students will be required to undertake clinical practice courses at scheduled periods across all seven study periods.
4. Attendance requirements apply to the clinical components of the program. Students enrolled in courses with a clinical component will need to attend on a full-time basis for the duration of the courses.
5. This Elective is a free elective to be selected by the student.
6. Students may be required to complete an interstate clinical placement.
For each course you study, you will need to allocate time for various classes such as lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars and practicals. Plus you will need additional hours to study in your own time to complete assignments, readings and projects and contribute to online discussion forums (independent study). So as a general rule, if you are studying full-time you would need to allocate 12 – 26 hours of study when at university and 14 – 28 hours of independent study per week.
Your studies will incorporate practical, professionally focused and research-based learning, so assessment types will vary. You can expect them to include:
Enrich your studies and your life – make overseas study part of your qualification. Australian and international students may have the option to do an exchange, short-term program or study tour overseas. We have links with universities worldwide. You can choose short-term or semester-long study from a range of universities and countries depending on your area of study and cultural interests.
Take a look at the global opportunities available.

Children's services in Tower Hamlets are 'significantly improving'
PUBLISHED: 12:49 31 May 2018
Mike Brooke
Tower Hamlets Council's children services are "significantly improving" a year after a damning Ofsted report deemed them "inadequate".
Last year, inspectors revealed they had found "widespread and serious failures" in services protecting children from the borough.
The report stated "too many children remain in situations of actual or potential harm for too long" and some staff displayed a "lack of understanding" of their duties.
But in Ofsted's most recent monitoring visit, inspectors endorsed the steps the council was taking to improve its services for children, families and young people.
In the report inspectors noted that there were substantial improvements to the quality of social work for vulnerable adolescents and in identifying and tackling child exploitation.
Inspector Brenda McLaughlin said: "This is extremely encouraging given the particularly complex challenges involved in this work."
Since June last year Ofsted has visited the borough every quarter to check on improvements, and this is the third monitoring report.
The council is hoping to gain a "good" rating by 2019.
Tower Hamlets mayor John Biggs said: "The council is improving its children's services at a rapid rate.
"The fact that we have had three positive visits since our improvement plan was agreed with the Department for Education last year shows we are on the right track. But I don't take that for granted and we remain unremittingly focused on keeping that way.
"This visit focused on particularly challenging areas around vulnerable young people. Our service has to be in good shape to identify these issues before they become problems for our young people and wider society.
"There is still much work to do to make a lasting change but this is good news, and I am proud of our staff, and those who have supported us."
Councillor Danny Hassell, cabinet member for children, schools and young people, added: "Of course there is more to do and we are not complacent about the future challenges, but we are going in the right direction.
"We are focusing on recruiting more permanent staff and will be introducing further incentives to recruit and develop highly skilled social workers."

Holy crap! It's DECEMBER?
Criminy. 2008 is damned near in the rearview and I'm still trying to get used to not writing "2007" in the date area of what checks I still write.
It's a funny thing, the way life feels these days. Chalk it up to some sort of Zeno's Paradox of Middle Age, but it feels as if every day -- every week, every month, every year -- is sliding by with ever-increasing rapidity, while at the same time progress seems to be slowing down. Everything takes longer to happen, except disasters and fuck-ups, of course, which always play out at 45rpm in a 33rpm world (that's an old-school shout-out to all you wrinkled bitter farts who remember those sepia-toned times when music was not downloaded and pterodactyls still ruled the skies).
Before I even finish this post, we'll be well into 2009 and wrestling with taxes ("We had income last year? For real? When!?!") and dealing with Spring Break plans and then baseball season and then end of school craziness and then of course summertime is always a sea of craziness, what with kids home for months and plans and camps and swimming and grassfires and satellites raining down and god only knows what other sweet hell gets served up this time around and then my god school is starting and we have to get ready for that and then football and dance and scouts and campouts and AFF09 and Halloween my god we need to find pumpkins and have them carved within the next 85 minutes and this turkey seems drier than last year's and didn't we get your cousin a wine rack LAST year for Christmas and holy crap it's 2010? Really?
What happened to 2009?
I need a nap, except I fear the Van WInkle Effect and waking to find flying cars and domed cities and 14,000 unread emails waiting for my attention.
I need a nap. And a beer. And a donut. And a hug. And a lottery win.

I was supposed to graduate college in 2008. And while I am (trying to) enjoy the gift that is an extra year of college life, I think in my mind 2008 was the last time in my life that there was any sort of time specific goal/action/event/sign posts about what to do next. It's cool, knowing I get to do whatever I want next.
It's a little overwhelming.

Are BEE-share schemes discriminatory to your white staff?
Solidarity, a 120-year old trade union with 140 000+ mostly white members, has engaged in a legal strike against the Sasol Khanyisa (BEE) share scheme which it claims is discriminating against white Sasol employees.
Context: the rise and fall Sasol Inzalo:
Khanyisa is Sasol's second attempt at BEE.
The Sasol Inzalo Scheme was launched about a decade ago when Sasol shares traded around R400 per share and oil cost about $100 per barrel – with predictions that it would go much higher. Sasol effectively offered investors, including its staff (black and white), Sasol shares at R366 each.
At first Inzalo looked very successful: it attracted 208 000 people, making it one of the biggest ever BEE transactions, worth R28 billion.
The deal was straightforward: Investors put some money down (R18 to R44 per share, depending on the quantity) and Sasol arranged bank funding for the balance (using the shares as security). To reduce the risk for the investors the interest rates on the debt were fixed for the scheme's ten-year life span.
Unfortunately the oil price fell to $55 per barrel and Sasol shares only traded 0.7% up a whole decade later. Shares values need to appreciate substantially to make vendor-finance viable…
In September 2017 Sasol announced that Inzalo would be wound down. Sasol would take the hit on R12 billion still owed to the banks– and with this the market responded by wiping another R7 billion off Sasol's value the same day.
New schemes for old:
Sasol's solution is a replacement scheme – Khanyisa – with Sasol offering Inzalo shareholders various options including swapping Inzalo for Khanyisa shares.
Sasol learned from Khanyisa and Inzalo has some key differences:
- It's vendor-financed (there are no banks lending the money – Sasol is),
- It isn't linked to the Sasol share price but Sasol dividends instead, and
- The new shares are also only available to Blacks, as per the BEE Act.
The link to dividends (controllable to a large degree by the company) is far less risky than relying on share price (which can be entirely dependent on emotion and other market irrationality) and is a major improvement.
That the shares are only available to Blacks has got Solidarity upset.
Why is Solidarity striking? Why now?
The Inzalo Scheme disappears this week – which explains the timing of the strike.
Solidarity claim that since white Sasol employees cannot acquire shares in Khanyisa (as they could under the Inzalo Scheme) that this is effectively discrimination.
What case does Solidarity have?
While union members' rights as employees will be determined by our labour laws, within the context of BEE laws things may look different:
There are now three ways to buy/trade Sasol shares:
- Sasol shares (SOL on the JSE). These are highly liquid, available to anyone and 100% tradable. Sasol is one of the JSE's blue-chips.
- Sasol BEE Shares (SOLBE1 on the JSE – Empowerment Section), and
- Khanyisa shares (which will not be on the JSE and cannot be traded before 2028).
While SOL can be freely traded, the restricted shares look far less attractive: They cannot be bought by anyone (as Solidarity says) and therefore because there is less demand for them, they inevitably will trade at a discount to the SOL shares of which they are a derivative; and the Khanyisa shares cannot be liquidated for ten years.
The issue is really that Sasol is giving funding to Black investors to buy the Khanyisa shares. There is no mention if they will provide funding for White workers to buy Sasol shares directly – but it's possible.
Will Khanyisa work?
Sasol may still have a loss on Khanyisa as it did with Inzalo. The difference will be that any loss will not all be at the end (2028) but over the ten years. It is vendor-finance after all, with all the risks that entails.
An investor decision:
Sasol shareholders voted to go ahead with Khanyisa (not Sasol management): the decision wasn't taken as an employer, but as an investor and the distinction is important.
Maybe Solidarity will prove that this is wrong in the workplace, but on capital markets, the shareholders (including many foreigners with little SA history) have decided to promote BEE as being good for Sasol. They believe it better for all sorts of reasons. Ironically some will believe it will improve industrial relations. Some will believe it opens markets. Some believe it's a responsible and sustainable course of action. But the majority voted that BEE is a good investment.
Let's hope that the economics work out this time.
Where does this leave Solidarity? Time will tell – they are not the first or last group of potential investors in a company to feel hard-done by the easy access to funding that black investors have – but what other options would Sasol have had?

Can fans take credit for Phaneuf's offensive revival?

- portuguese leafFebruary 22, 2013 at 5:51 AM
I agree on all of your thoughts, but I do think that "smart, solid play with a physical edge" can be exciting. Watching an opponent entering our zone and beeing rubbed out against the boards, guys on the forecheck pasting the other teams defenceman against the galss, breaking up an offensive rush (like Kadri did last night) is fun to watch too. It's not a Wendel wrist shot to the top corner, but not bad.ReplyDelete
Since I mentioned Wendel... has there been anyone since with a wrist shot like his? I hear broadcasters call wrist shots that are actually snap shots. Wendel had that long slow backswing sort of whip effect where he dragged the puck befor releasing. That's a wrist shot. It's not seen today.
Playing like we are now, and if some guys can get back to their normal play - Grabbo and MacArthur (had a good game in my mind last night) - we can have a pretty good season.
What I don't like seeing though, is the dump and chase on the power play. It gives the other team a chance to get the puck, and if there is a fight for it along the boards it kills alot of time. Why can't we set up properly anymore? It's horrible. Last year we could get in the zone easily and set up quickly. The players would start out from our zone and with a few drop passes the set was complete. That's gone this year and we can't get it right.
- Faraway StewFebruary 22, 2013 at 7:56 AM
Am impressed with Franson. He was great tonight on the PP - what a great pass to JVR. It seems to be very good for Phaneuf to be paired with him.ReplyDelete
Also impressed with Kessel's playmaking. On the PP for the Phaneuf goal he had the puck on his stick for ages and looked the part of the set up man. And then the feed to JVR for that goal. What a beauty.
They seem to be really listening to Carlyle and the coaching staff. Carlyle himself is a suprise. Appears much more thoughtful than the grouch he was portrayed to be.
I think you summed things up nicely at the very end there. No, we definitely do not want to go back to those 6-5 games of yesteryear. They have proven not to work out well. The disciplined game the Leafs have played thus far this year has such a different feel to it. Suddenly, I feel safe watching them play with a one-goal lead in the third period, as opposed to the white knuckle feeling I used to feel as I watched and waited for the collapse.ReplyDelete
As much as the Sabres have been one-dimensional this season, and they sure did look anything but imposing last night, you can't deny that their top line has put up some good numbers. And last night that line did not strike any fear into the Leafs. I like to think they deserve a little credit for that.
I have to feel for you a bit, Michael, this team lacks controversy and big swings in their level of play, and therefore is not as easy to write about! But I'll take it for sure. Your last comment, the goaltending. I don't know if its because Allaire is gone, or the way Carlyle and Nonis are handling them. But they are definitely playing with confidence and understand their roles.
I like a team that finishes its checks and plays hard and smart, too, portuguese leaf. One of the best players I ever saw play was Bob Gainey and he didn't score many goals. But he was so fast, smart, tough and difficult to play against. I'd love the Leafs to have guys like that.ReplyDelete
(Wendel did have an old-school and exceptionally powerful - and heavy - wrist shot. And no, we don't see that a lot nowadays...)
As for the power play, it is an issue. We can certainly do better than what we have shown many nights.
For a guy that was not even supposedly on the radar screen (un-signed) during the lockout and did not play in every game early this season, yes, Franson has indeed made himself pretty darn important, Faraway Stew.ReplyDelete
I've talked here about Kessel's playmaking for a couple of years now. We can all see he is not simply a "shooter/scorer". I agree, everything (including the lifted leg) pointed to a shot on that particular play. A beauty pass and a crafty little re-dicrect and we had a goal. Good hockey.
And you're absolutely right about Carlyle. A lot of us wondered out loud if he could adjust and, to use the modern term, "re-invent" himself with this roster. So far, he has. Thanks for visiting, Faraway Stew.
I agree, Pete, the Leafs absolutely deserve credit for how they handled Buffalo's scorers. No question. I just thought the Sabres didn't look engaged much of the night, but again, that may have to do with the checking they were facing.ReplyDelete
I remember writing here that I was keen to see Reimer play without Allaire around. That may not be fair to a guy who has been a respected goalie coach, but it wasn't working here, it seemed. And yes, both Scrivens and Reimer, whether they liked working with Allaire or not or "learned" some things, sure look pretty confident this season- so far, anyway. Thanks Pete.
- Twisted SittlerFebruary 22, 2013 at 10:39 AM
It's all very encouraging and what's even better is that the sick bay is about drop in population, with Reimer, Frattin, and Lupul all likely back within the next 10 days or so. Add to that group Jake Gardiner, who should be called up sooner rather than later (I think Holzer is the odd man out in that regard, although I wouldn't be surprised if Gunnarson has to leave to injury again. He's admitted the hip isn't 100% and likely won't be all season). I agree with your comments on Leaf Matters earlier this week, Michael, when you said that Gardiner will very shortly be back to the Leafs and that he is in no way trade bait. Eakins has given him the thumbs up and that's good enough for me. It's just a matter of the Leafs D as it currently stands playing very well most nights. Sooner rather than later, Gardiner will be back where he belongs with the Leafs. Not much else to say. This team is playing great and I haven't seen many games, even in the losses, where this group looks totally outplayed. We're one step closer, Folks!ReplyDelete
Absolutely agree, Twisted Sittler- I have no reason to suspect Gardiner will not be here. He's obviously an NHL player, we all know that. He has flaws but can also be a potential difference-maker.ReplyDelete
Come the stretch run and the playoffs, you need to be very deep on the blueline, so I don't mind having all these guys ready to contribute. But Gardiner can eat up minutes, and that will ease the burden on certain guys.
- InTimeFor62February 22, 2013 at 2:21 PM
With the recent play of Gardiner, I have little doubt that Nonis is burning up the phone lines looking for a solution.ReplyDelete
I have long said that I think the Leafs are best positioned to 'help' the Islanders (call it 'directed revenue sharing with a benefit') to buy out DiPietro. Well, he has just been waived to the AHL, so it appears that the 'writing is on the wall' for his time in NY. His 4.5 M cap hit will drop by 900-950K (can't remember the new CBA amount) whether he plays in the NHL or not, so I can't see Wang paying for him without seeking a solution.
Herein, comes the speculation and hopefulness... first I can't imagine the Islanders not wanting someone to maintain their cap position (especially if the Leafs are able to absorb part of a contract). I could see Carlyle wanting or willing to have Vishnovsky again (to complement Phaneuf, perhaps?) and the Islanders an offensive left side D to replace him... perhaps Liles would allow such a move (but it could be about Gunnar or another lower priced option).
Komisarek might be willing to allow the move to the land of his youth (just so he can remove himself from the press box) that would 'reinflate' the cap loss of Vishnovsky and DiPietro.
Now, what do we really get out of the deal... a roster opening for Gardiner to begin with, and something still owing for buying out DiPietro (who could later re-sign with the Islanders, since they are not buying him out, at a very low cap hit and contract if amenable to both sides).
DiPietro can be easily placed within our cap space until a buyout in the summer but, depending on whether the Islanders' first round pick is in play for the buyout... OR (dream of dreams) Tavares could be pried away, where another center was in the mix. I could imagine Grabo, and his similar contract, could head out the door and allow Bozak to move onto the 'shutdown' line, where I think he could better serve the team's interests and not alienate Kessel (the way Ballard did to Sittler when MacDonald was shipped off to Colorado). Having Tavares on the top line and Kadri on the sheltered scoring line, provides tons of options with Lupul, JVR, and Mac in the mix on either scoring line.
When I see the Islanders getting DiPietro into the minors, we have a potential callup who could play in a crisis, if necessary, or be benched til buyout this year (or next). I believe Gardiner has 'done his time' throughout the lockout and his concussion recovery plan without complaint and he seems ready, so I think we'll see something happen very soon.
Thanks for 'hearing me out'... of course, others may desire to work with the DiPietro contract/buyout, but I don't think any are as well positioned as the Leafs... hope to enjoy such a blockbuster solution soon!
Hi MichaelReplyDelete
"this Leaf team looks the same virtually every night." - That is a hallmark of systematic play. Today's NHL is so equally matched that the difference night in and night out are 3-4 key plays if all else being equal. You can't explain why the Senators have a 3 game winning streak after the Karlson injury other than clear structured play. Where the difference lies is in the execution of key plays by talent. In my opinion, key talent in the long term will win you an extra 20-30% of the time. I agree with you that the East is weak and are only 3-4 teams strong. The rest are middle of the pack all closely matched. The Leafs' current playoff positioning can be attributed to Carlyle's system and appropriate placing of personnel into area for success. I am optimistically encouraged but the season is still young. I'd like to see how they handle the elites the latter half of the season but the last Boston game was indeed encouraging even though it was a lost. If they continue with the current style of play and not deviate, I would be very much confident that the playoffs drought will end this year
I always enjoy your Tavares speculation, InTimeFor 62. It is fun and of course, thought-provoking.ReplyDelete
I just can't imagine the Isles moving Tavares. If they did, what would they have to "sell" once they get into that new building in Brooklyn or wherever?
We can hope, of course. But I do think you're right, that Nonis is looking to bring Gardiner in soon and that may necessitate moving someone.Replies
- InTImeFor62February 22, 2013 at 6:37 PM
The only way I see the Isles moving Tavares is if they have a high first round pick available to hit the marketplace in a couple years when they move to Brooklyn. Grabo or another option may be sufficient to keep butts in the seats. Also, having some of the Leaf pieces I've suggested available for further deals at the trade deadline could bring the Isles more picks/prospects. If the team really has to bail on that ridiculous contract, there will be a cost they will have to address... and the pressure is on with the demotion of DiPietro.Delete
If they are unwilling to part with Tavares, then I'm hoping that their first round pick would be the compensation (a buyout on a 36 million contract should bring a significant return)... I would be almost as excited about that as getting Tavares. It's just that I'd love to get JT while he's still young, rather than hoping to get him, with all the mileage, at UFA.
I'd like to see Kadri stay here, but that might be part of a future that NYI could 'sell' to their marketplace (along with the high draft pick) if they want to go with youth... eating such a huge contract and sending them Kadri might just get us Tavares right now... just not as excited about giving up Kadri to make it happen...
Definitely looking forward to the maturing Gardiner providing all kinds of new options for the offense in Leafland!
You summed it up awfully well, Lukas. Work ethic and consistency of execution is the ticket. It will get you past the weaker teams (and squads with rosters much like Toronto's) most of the time and make you competitive against the better teams.ReplyDelete
