Please read this in it's entirety before signing up for coaching and download a copy of it for your own records.
Thank you for giving these terms & agreements your attention!
The more clarity and alignment we have around the terms & agreements of our work together, the more powerful your results!Unless I hear from you otherwise about it (by email, before our first session together, I will assume you fully consent to all the terms stated below.Here's to a beautiful journey together!
Here's to a beautiful journey together!
Yours, Dylan Newcomb
As your coach, I am here to serve as a supportive partner in your ongoing journey of discovery, growth, integration, goal-setting and goal-reaching—both professionally and personally.
My key focus is on fully showing up in whichever ways I sense will most help support you—and elicit from within you—new ways of being that will empower you to live more of the life you want to live. I experience each client as highly unique and each/every series of session we do together to have it's own unique 'logic' and optimal flow. I've learned I can best serve you by always listening, together with you, to what will most serve you—both in the moment and in the long-run.
So we'll start by clarify a vision about what we'll focus on and what you hope to accomplish through that and then we'll likely adapt all of it to some extent as we go.The key to a healthily fluid process is our staying in alignment together throughout the journey. If at any moment during our process you feel lost or unclear about what you're doing and/or what the value is for you of doing it (either during a session or in between sessions), please share that with me asap so we can quickly get you back to feeling great about your process. It's your coaching journey and I encourage you to keep helping me to help you get the most out of it you can. In other words—I invite you to stay proactive!
Also very important: Our coaching process is not a replacement for certain forms therapy, or business and financial consulting, and I, Dylan Newcomb, am neither a certified therapist nor a certified business or financial advisor. While from time to time I may give you assessments to complete, offer my reflections, ideas and personal observations on any number of personal and professional matters, I do not diagnose or treat disorders nor offer business and financial advice. (Yup - that's the official disclaimer part 🙂
If you are currently receiving any other related support, therapeutic, professional or otherwise, I encourage you to appropriately inform all of us about each other's work with you so as to help ensure that our collective work with you can be most mutually supportive towards helping you realize your overall goals.
The coaching takes place during regularly scheduled sessions either online via video chat ( I use the Zoom Video Platform because it's both user-friendly & secure) or live in my home office at 34 Omer Road, Freeport Maine, USA. Unless I hear otherwise, I'll assume our sessions will be online.
My coaching work is significantly informed by a few key models and modalities such as Integral Theory, my own government-funded research which formed The UZAZU Mind-Body Method, Spiral Dynamics, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Psych-K, HBLU Technique, Developmental Psychology (not officially certified in this), Attachment Theory, embodied cognitive neuroscience and several more approaches.The ways we end up working, the exercises we end up doing, will depend on what I and We both sense will most serve you at each stage of the journey. In other words, I come amply prepared with materials, maps, content molds and so on. But we'll see what we end up using 🙂
The outcomes you ultimately achieve during our time together will largely be a direct result of your own level of commitment, energy and sustained focus.
The actual change you come away with is largely dependent on you:
- Daring to "go there" with me and do the more vulnerable, deeper self-work that will likely become relevant at certain moments.
- Taking the time in between our sessions to DO the homework assignments and practices we agree on.
- Proactively sharing with me when you're confused, unclear or feeling a need to re-align our focus.
These will all be key factors determining the amount of significant progress you will be able to gratefully look back on at the end of this journey you're investing in and embarking on.
Length of Sessions:
Coaching calls are typically 75 minutes, but can sometimes go 5-10 minutes overtime. Please reserve 90 minutes for each session in your schedule to allow for overtime and a moment to complete your own session notes and setting of your follow-up actions.
Maintaining a Consistent Rhythm:
Our clear intention together will be to maintain a consistent day of the week (either weekly or bi-weekly) and time slot for our sessions together. Naturally, a few of those sessions may need to deviate from this or be rescheduled due to emergent obligations or complications. If the the majority of sessions can not hold to a fairly regular rhythm then this will want to be discussed.
Starting Each Session:
Please establish a rhythm for yourself of settling in, focusing your energy and attention and gathering your thoughts a few minutes before each appointment begins so we can start on time and be "productive" right from the beginning. For online sessions, I will call you at our scheduled start time. Please allow me to initiate the contact, as I may still be with another client.
Lateness Policy:
Starting on time is important. If you arrive late for a session, I reserve the right to end our session at the originally appointed time. Please, always contact me BY EMAIL and let me know if you are running late. Any lateness we incur due to me calling you later will be added to the end of our session. If you are not available, I will leave one message and attempt to call back again after 5 minutes. If I don't hear from you by email within 15 minutes of our scheduled start time, then I will deem the session a "no show" and it will be counted towards your total session package.
Session Cancellation Policy:
All scheduled appointments must be cancelled with 24-hours notice to avoid being charged for the session. There is some flexibility in this policy for emergency situations but usually if you cancel at the last minute the reserved spot will not be rescheduled. Sessions that are still a "No Show" after 15 minutes are counted in full towards the total session package.
Package Duration and Session Utilization Policy:
All sessions included in a given Coaching Package must be used within 60 days after the last billed month of that package. For example, all 12 sessions in a 3 or 6 month package must be used within 60 days after the completion of the initial 3 or 6 month period. It is your responsibility to track this and ensure you utilize any of your remaining sessions within this 60-day extension period..
Contact between Sessions:
You are welcome—and even encouraged—to message me through our shared Trello Board (or by email if necessary) in between coaching sessions when you have a challenge, can't wait to share a success, need some quick input on something. I generally find that us having a bit of quick back and forth in between sessions can help greatly for you to "stay productive" with whatever you are working on.
No Charge for Your Initial Exploratory Session:
Before agreeing to work together, we will have an initial, no-fee "get acquainted" session for you to get a solid taste of what it's like to work with me and to determine whether both feel reasonably confident that you can significantly benefit from the coaching relationship and that the rapport between us is likely to result in a supportive, enjoyable coach-client relationship.
Coaching Package Billing:
I offer my coaching services in bundles of sessions, or Packages, as I've learned this enables me to much more powerfully and reliably help my clients achieve their desired outcomes. Coaching Packages are billed either monthly or all at once in a "single pay" option. The more sessions in a given bundle the cheaper the "hourly rate" generally is, and paying the whole bundle upfront further reduces the overall cost.
The online billing system I use accepts all major credit cards. If you choose monthly billing, your card will be automatically billed at the same day each month till the end of our agreement. After your initial free exploratory session and once we agree to work together, you will want to be sure to complete your order and first automatic billing before we have the first session of your package.
As a way of making clear my commitment to ensuring your satisfaction with your choice take a risk on investing in coaching with me, I offer a full 30-day guarantee on all my coaching packages. If you feel, within the first 30 days of signing up to work together with me, that it in fact does not seem like a good investment of your time and money, then I will immediately and fully refund your credit card. I will just humbly ask you to do me the service of filling out a feedback form and/or have a short conversation with me to help me understand how I could have perhaps helped you better or where our expectations were out of alignment.
Once the 30-day guarantee period has elapsed, it is understood that unless I as your coach fail to fulfill my role and responsibilities in some significant way, you are now committed to the program and payment schedule as laid out in your package.
At some point during the last 1 or 2 sessions of your package, we will reflect on where you currently are in your process: what you have achieved, and what appears to lie ahead. We will take some time to reflect and give feedback to each other on what we most appreciated and what we would have perhaps like to experience more or less of from each other. We will also discuss then if and when it might be appropriate to engage in a new series of coaching sessions. If you choose to "go another round" then you will simply sign up again for which ever package you choose.
General Confidentiality Commitment:
Your identity, our coach-client relationship, and nature and content of your work with me will remain private and confidential, and neither myself nor UZAZU or anyone connected to it will share any information about you and our work together with a third party without your consent in writing (email is acceptable). I may ask you at some point during or after our process to share a testimonial about the results you are experiencing, but this is always entirely at your own discretion.
Exceptional Exceptions to Confidentiality:
1) In the course of our regular clerical duties, the UZAZU Coaching support staff may be privy to name and limited contact information of my clients, but will have no access to information as to the content of the coaching sessions or matters discussed during our coaching. The UZAZU support staff are under the same strict requirements of confidentiality as myself.
2) In the event that I believes there is clear and imminent danger to the life and physical safety of one of my clients or others in their life, I may need to disclose selected information in order to make appropriate and potentially life-saving interventions.
3) In highly unusual circumstances, legal requirements may demand that confidential material be revealed.
4) If a client publicly makes false and slanderous claims about the my work with them, with the intent to harm UZAZU or me personally and professionally, I shall be at liberty to respond publicly to those false charges in order to protect my own personal and professional reputation.
You agree to utilize Dylan Newcomb's Coaching services with the full understanding that Dylan Newcomb, UZAZU Mind-Body, it's directors, employees, volunteers and advisors are in no way responsible or liable for your decisions, actions, outcomes and experiences. You also agree to hold Dylan Newcomb, UZAZU Mind-Body, it's directors, employees, volunteers and advisors free of all liability and responsibility for any adverse situations created as a direct or indirect result of a advice given, or any actions taken while working with, or as a result of working with, Dylan Newcomb and/or the UZAZU method or community.
Whew... That's all the Terms & Agreement stuff...
Please download a copy of these Terms & Agreements for your own reference and proceed/return to the order page!

Respecting The Past, Khiri Travel Moves To New Office In Yangon
|Khiri Travel Myanmar has moved to a new office in a historically significant part of Yangon, in Bogalay Zay Street. The office is on the first floor of an 80-year old colonial building that was used as a trader's house. Khiri has kept the external colonial look with the interiors being a clever mix of modern functionality, while respecting the past by the retention of red brick walls, wooden doors and a cast iron stairway and gantry. The office is located just around from Strand Road adjacent to one of Yangon's many harbors.
The ground floor is occupied by a printing shop that has been operating for 60 years (and still uses the printing presses of that era). The Myanmar Red Cross is next door. Burmese author Shwe U Daung used to live three doors along where a commemorative plaque by the Yangon Heritage Trust will soon be displayed. Opposite the Khiri office are the printing presses of the New Light of Myanmar, the long established government daily newspaper.
Edwin Briels, Khiri Travel Myanmar General Manager, said: "When looking for a new home for Khiri Travel in Yangon I wanted a building that reflected the beauty of downtown with its heritage buildings. It also had to be a convenient location for travelers, staff and suppliers. In the end, I am very proud that we have managed to create a modern working environment in a heritage building that shows the best of Yangon's urban architecture."
The Khiri staff held a small opening party on 15 October when they moved into the office. Some 24 staff now work there, most of them in their 20s.
"We are now planning to invite neighbors and other business associates to show how old buildings can be transformed, but still respect Yangon's wonderful urban architecture," said Briels.
The move is an extension of Khiri Travel's commitment to conserving and promoting urban heritage in the Greater Mekong Region. Khiri offers urban architecture walks and bicycle tours in destinations such as Yangon, the old streets of Phuket town, Phnom Penh, Bangkok's Chinatown and Hanoi.
Khiri Travel also promotes stays in hotels with heritage architecture such as Raffles in Siem Reap, Cambodia, 137 Pillars in Chiang Mai and La Residence, Phou Vao, Luang Prabang, Laos.
Khiri Travel Group
Khiri Travel, established in 1993, is an independent destination management company with its own regional network. The group has 11 offices in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as an inbound travel company in the USA. The company's detailed knowledge of the world shows in its unusual destinations, innovative itineraries and in its commitment to responsible travel throughout the Mekong region and the world.

New US sanctions against Russia could have a negative impact on the trading contracts in other countries, the Senator said the legislature of Virginia Richard black.
«I think there is additional concern on the part of Europe that the United States should not be able unilaterally to impose sanctions, which then impede the contractual relationships of the countries in the world, I agree with that,» said black.
The U.S. Senate last Thursday approved a bill to expand sanctions against Russia. In particular, it is proposed to reduce the maximum term of market financing of Russian banks under sanctions, up to 14 days, of the companies subjected to the oil and gas sector — up to 30 days. The bill also suggests the possibility of applying sanctions against individuals who intend to invest in the construction of Russian export pipelines market value of over $ 5 million per year, or $ 1 million lump sum, or provide the projects, services, technology, to provide information support.

DOCOMO PACIFIC and Hawaii Pacific Teleport ('HPT' are making a major investment in connectivity enhancements by expanding their presence in the satellite teleport business.
In partnership with HPT, DOCOMO PACIFIC is growing their telecommunications footprint by expanding the firm's reach and capabilities to connect global customers through satellite teleport services. HPT will increase its existing telecommunications reach to those satellites not visible in Hawaii and benefit from DOCOMO PACIFIC's robust, dark fiber network extending throughout Guam and international fiber POPs.
The partnership, created in 2018, is the first of its kind between DOCOMO and HPT. This partnership with HPT allows DOCOMO PACIFIC to improve carrier quality connectivity, enhance colocation and disaster recovery for partnering companies, and offer network redundancy and diversity through satellite bandwidth to islands with limited subsea cables. HPT will leverage its satellite teleport experience to establish and operate the 12,000-square-foot Guam teleport located in Pulantat, Guam, and will offer a U.S. based teleport facility in the Pacific with access to a number of countries with lower latency and multiple backhaul options.

Press Release
3rd April 2013
New recycling arrangements for Lerwick and Scalloway
New recycling collection points are to be introduced in Lerwick and Scalloway to replace the kerbside collection service, which came to an end on 1st April 2013.
New sites are being developed in in areas with easy access, to make recycling as effortless as possible for everyone. This means people from all over Shetland will have the opportunity to recycle their plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars, food tins and drinks cans, and newspapers whenever they want at a choice of locations.
The new recycling wheelie bins for all materials will be located at the following sites from 1st May 2013:
- · Tesco
- · The Co-op (Lerwick)
- · Victoria Pier
- · Rudda Park car park
- · SIC North Ness Corporate Headquarters (lower car park)
- · Staney Hill Hall car park
- · Gremista Civic Amenity Site and Recycling Centre
- · Blydoit (East Voe, Scalloway)
- · Burn Beach car park, Scalloway
In the meantime, householders can take their waste plastic, glass, tins and newspapers to the Gremista Waste Management and Recycling centre.
The SIC's Executive Manager of Environmental Health Maggie Sandison: "Shetland Islands Council is keen to see more householders involved in recycling, and we recognise that for some people, keeping their recycling in the house for up to two weeks was inconvenient. In rural areas we have not been able to recycle the full range of materials that you could in Lerwick and Scalloway. Improving the recycling facilities where people regularly come to shop or park their cars should provide an opportunity for everyone to recycle more when it's most convenient to them".

God has a plan for marriage, and He lays it out clearly in His Word. During this semester, we'll cover God's plan for marriage relating to serving our spouse, fighting fair, communicating, forgiving, encouraging, intimacy and more. Whether you are just married, been married for many years or thinking about getting married, this class is for you.
We will record each class and post the recordings here. It does take some time to edit the recordings so it may be a couple of days until they show up.

We are aware of the fact that estimating products using Agile Estimation Techniques is relatively different from the same using traditional methods. While the traditional methods adopt the 'bottom-up' technique for estimation, Agile Estimation Techniques take up the 'top-down' approach. In the traditional method, things are taken up from scratch.
Gathering information, focusing on the smallest of the details, and collecting relevant data/resources to enhance the idea are some of the steps that are taken up in building the desired product using the traditional method. However, in the agile estimation techniques, the opposite of this is done.
Instead of starting from the lowest parts to build a final product, the agile estimation technique requires one to choose a goal first. Once the desired product is planned, it is broken down into pieces, and tasks required to attain the product are finalized.
To know in detail about the Agile Estimation Techniques used in scrum technology, continue to read.
Planning poker is certainly the most adopted agile technique for estimation and uses the Fibonacci series as a basis. The Fibonacci series involves adding up of two preceding numbers in order to get the third one and goes something like this 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,20,40,100…..
However, a slight change in the order of numbers is made in this agile estimation technique while using it for the estimation. Cards with 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100 numbers on them are laid and each set is distributed among the team members. The head/owner of the company offering a product or service is then allowed to showcase the product; the estimate of which is then decided by the members. In this process, the product owner doesn't have a say in estimate's decision making. The owner doesn't get cards in the procedure. The team members then pick out a card representing the estimate and present it to the team. This continues until the team reaches a common value and a conclusion is drawn. The estimate is decided by taking into account the opinions of all the teammates and by conducting discussions. To avoid the procedure from getting lengthy, a time limit is allocated considering which the team members make their estimates.
Beneficial for making estimates for a large number of products (up to 500), the bucket system is the most collaborative method of agile estimation technique. It gives fast results although rough estimates only. The products are placed on a scale showcasing the estimated value and dropped in the bucket with similar products. It requires individuals to quietly put forward their estimates without discussing with others, however, in case of confusion and lack of clarity, one can pass on the product to others. In the case of several products in a single bucket, the team makes an estimate by discussing it collectively and comes to a consensus. It follows the 'divide and rule' method to make estimates.
One of the simplest agile estimation technique for estimating a small group of products is dot voting. It assigns dots to the members which are then used by them to estimate the size of the products. Higher the number of dots, the bigger is the product.
Affinity mapping is one of the easiest agile estimation techniques for making an estimate for a large number of products. For instance, if one has a large set of products that need to be estimated, grouping them with similar sized or quality products helps. By doing this, one can make an estimate more quickly. Grouping is done by using one product as a basis and comparing the rest with it. If the second product is larger than the one it is being compared to, it is set to the right. Likewise, if it is smaller than the first one, it goes to the left side. In this way, products are segregated and then grouped with similar products. It helps make the estimation process easier and less time-consuming.
Another productive yet fun agile estimation technique of making estimations is using T-shirt sizes. In this, the standard T-shirt sizes - XS (extra small), S (small), M (medium), L (Large), and XL (Extra Large) are used as parameters for making an estimate for a product. Team members make their estimates and decide which category a product falls into. However, this is not time-restrained and allows a member to make a detailed estimate; which can be both a positive and negative trait based on the situation.
All in all, these are one of the simplest, most effective, and fun agile estimation techniques for making estimates for products. Alongside this, these methods can be used in several other scenarios where decision-making is required. These techniques encourage teamwork and collaborations among the employees while giving out effective results in a short span of time.

Maids cannot be trusted to have a day off, say bosses
I cannot help but feel sad after reading the Malaysia Insider article about the maid in Malaysia. It turn out that pool made by the theStar suggested most of Malaysian object the government decision to have a mandatory one day a week off in a country that majority of its working class work averagely 5 days a week.
The poll, which asked if maids should be given one rest day a week, drew a total of 769 respondents over 11 hours. About 76.1% or 585 respondents said "no," while 23.9% or 184 respondents said "yes."
I find it surprised much of the reason was given by the employer that against the day off. Among one is,
Accountant Audrey Tan, who employs two Indonesian maids, said: "They might run away with boyfriends, contract sexual diseases or get pregnant.
I find it a bit offensive because this employer can make this racist and stereotype statement and get away with it so easily. This social degrading statement should not be the part of the Malaysian society. It doesn't take an Indonesian maid to run away with boyfriend and contracted with disease or get pregnant. Many Malaysian youngsters and some educated student did that too. Some of them did even worst.
Most employer with maid thought they have the rights to abuse their maid just because the maid have difficulties to learn of following orders. When the public condemn the abuse of the children, or animal, why there are major silences over the abuse of maid. Dog could get more good treatment compare to the maid in a house hold.
Labour experts say the changes are an attempt to change Malaysia's image as an exploiter of migrant workers. In the most recent case of abuse, police yesterday charged Hau Yuan Tyng, 42, with causing injury to her Indonesian maid, Siti Hajar Sadli, using hot water, a hammer and scissors.
Maid abuse become increasing in Malaysia and Indonesian government started aware and threatens to act if nothing was changed. No wonder Malaysia got black listed by United States in its human trafficking report. The influx of illegal immigrant to Sabah is the top issues that should be take action. The BN government are playing stupid with these issues and only knowing how to blame other for their own wrong doing and mismanagement.
"Offices and factories can be shut down for a day off but we can't do that in a home," said Norizan Sharif, president of the Macom community group. "A home is formal place and maids work or rest in an informal environment. If they take leave, the home comes to a standstill."
Excuses blaming the maid to the problem of the family seem not fair. Maid job is to assist the employer in their home work and not the caretaker or responsible for the household. The core of a family is lean toward to the parent and not the maid. Maid can come and go but member of the family such as father; mother and the children stay on forever. Such excuses should be objected and condemn due its lowest nature of reason.
It seems that career as a maid in Malaysia not a noble as in other country. Many incident involved maid become thief or running away from their work in which created fear to family that depend to maid to care for their family. It turns so ugly that maid that not as expected to be will be physically and mentally abuse by their employer. Where goes that Malaysian good identity that we cherish many years ago?

Who has two thumbs and has a mid semester exam in two weeks?
….probably, most of us. So that means, most of us are in crunch time. Now's the time to get it together, catch up on lectures, finish all outstanding assessments, and take care of everything else so that we can hone in our energies unto revising for our exams.
There is no magic solution to setting out your priorities and accomplishing all your tasks on time. You simply have to just buck up and do the work. You have to push through distractions and do your dues.
This does get challenging and we definitely know it seeing as we've written a lot about it. One of which can be found here! In that post, my co-blogger Alejandro, talks about the different things you can do to prepare for your mid semester exams.
For more exam related tips, head on to our exams tag!
Procrastinating and putting things off may be super tempting but it is during these times that we have to put delayed gratification over instant gratification. Sometimes the best things are when you've waited and worked hard for them the most.
Exams are a whole different beast compared to online quizzes and lab questionnaires but they are really not as bad as everyone makes it seem- with the caveat that you actually know your topic and what you'll be tested in.
Make sure you've learned all the pieces of information that your lecturers and demonstrators have given you then try to teach it to your cat or dog (the best way to know if you have internalised something is if you can teach it to someone or, in this case, something else) and don't stress too hard. Sometimes, half the battle is talking yourself down from the anxious stupor you've psyched yourself up to because of everything you've heard about exams. Don't worry too much!
Good luck to you and to me! I'm rooting for all of us!


text: |Witnessing in a dream someone gently rubbing, massaging and caressing your feet is a symbol indicating that you can wholeheartedly rely on your co-workers, colleagues and subordinates. Most likely, they harbor a deep feeling of respect and admiration for you and your work, thus are willing to always go the extra mile to make you proud of them and satisfied with their efforts. Additionally, a similar dream could be foretelling that those people who currently depend on you would later do everything possible to reward and thank you for your kindness, understanding and support.

So much fun! I must plan to do that again!! This weekend Dan and I headed to Stableview for a horse show. However, they ran it as two one day shows. So Prelim and Novice ran on Saturday and Training and Beginner Novice ran on Sunday. Cindy and I decided that we would go up on Friday and hack at Hitchcock woods and then volunteer Saturday and show Sunday. It was a fun weekend.
We made a pit stop at Danielle's farm and adjusted Rusty on our way and then met Cindy at Hitchcock. We had a nice little walk hack with some jumping. :) We couldn't resist. The footing there was a little deep in places and the heat and humidity were awful, so it was nice that I had to keep it under wraps a bit with Cindy and Josie as our company. Dan was actually really good. We started out and he only had one little squeal and half hearted leap up and then he was pretty much on the buckle the whole time. He even let Josie lead a good chunk of the way with no shenanigans in the back. :)
We had a lot of fun and jumped most of the fences in "cathedral aisles' (I think that's what it was called). Dan peeked hard at the first steeplechase style fence but jumped it and then didn't peek at any of the others. So yep.. definitely a fun day!

Dr. Ralf Kopp recently contributed a presentation to the congress "The Future of Work" of the Swiss Sociological Association which took place in Neuchâtel on September 10-12. The presentation was held in the workshop "Social innovation in the Workplace and the Future of Work. Outcomes for a social policy agenda in Europe and beyond". All abstracts for the workshop are freely accessible.
Workplace innovation has been gaining prominence in the European social policy agenda due to its capacity to create jobs, to foster integration and to promote well-being. Through the endeavors of the Lisbon Agenda and the EU 2020 Strategy, workplace innovation is taking a broader perspective on issues such as labor relations in the workplace, work organization and human resource policies in Europe. Scholars are driving useful discussions for governments about how the implementationof national policies encouraging workplace innovation and wellbeing increases benefits a knowledge-based economy. Existing literature in social innovation is starting to give evidence of how this phenomenon is transforming the workplace by providing a more efficient organizational performance and benefiting society at the same time. Given that the subject is gaining importance in order to promote social changes within organizations, the purpose of this workshop is to present empirical and theoretical research about how the future of work is being transformed or how it could be transformed with the implementation of practices for more sustainable organizations. Social policy in Europe is a good depart for starting the discussion, however in latitudes such as Asia, Africa or America, workplace innovation is still a challenge, especially related to specific idiosyncrasies. This workshop appeals for a discussion about the different practices, routines, strategies and outcomes of social innovation in the workplace corresponding to specific cultural, social, political or economic needs in different countries, and how this specificities allow the implementation of social policies more adapted to contemporary social needs.
The abstract "Workplace Innovation (WPI) as Social Innovation (SI): Slow farewell or continuation of the techno-centric age?" from Dr. Ralf Kopp is available here (PDF | page 74).

To open part 2 of "The Secret of Spectacular Success" I want to share an amazing success story with you. But first, let me warn you: the speed with which it reached stardom was amazing. And the speed with which it vanished was just as mind-boggling.
FUHU, a tablet-manufacturing company was founded in 2008 by young entrepreneur Fujioka. The company went from making almost $200 million in revenues between 2008 -when it all started- and 2013 when it was recognized as the number 1 fastest growing company.
FUHU grew about 159,000 % in about 3 years and went bankrupt 3 years after. It reached First place among the Inc 500 companies competing as fastest growing organizations, and kept its super star rank for 2 years in a row -in 2013 and 2014.
And in 2016, FUHU vanished into oblivion. It went from being worth over $200 million dollars to being sold out to giant toymaker Mattel for $21.5 million; a mere 11% of its value.
For a detailed account of the story -from a financial perspective- refer to Inc magazine, September 2016 edition.
As I read the story and followed FUHU's financial trail from founder Fujioka's first meeting with the Hui brothers', 2 young self-made millionaires and founders of PC maker eMachines, it clearly appeared to me that what was missing in Fujioka's climb to success was…: a lack of a solid foundation.
Fujioka built a castle in the sand.
The Inc. magazine recount of FUHU's story reveals that the malaise of FUHU emerged from the founder's drowning in hollow over-confidence -one which had no solid foundation.
There were no values, no principles and no purpose to sustain the miraculous growth and serve as the Light and the Compass of the company's leadership team.
In PART 1 of the Secret of Spectacular Success, I focused on one prerequisite for success: SMART GOAL. I explained that SMART GOAL stands for:
specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.
I explained why when we fail to set a SMART goal, we are simply expressing a wish and giving fate a chance to decide the outcome.
The article in Inc. magazine shows how FUHU leadership team did not bother with SMART GOAL. If here and there the article attempts to glimpse into what could be the leaders' SMART GOAL, they certainly did not pay attention to the current market trend and consumers' interests.
I also mentioned that even when we set a SMART GOAL we run the risk of abandoning the project halfway or if we complete it we may lack the level of satisfaction we anticipated in the beginning.
In FUHU's case, founder Fujioka was forced to abort the project when one morning, a staff of FUHU's accounting department noticed that the company's online checking account was at $0.00 from $4 million the day before.
It seems obvious from the article, that poor decisions and mismanagement of cash flow drove the star company to dust in just 3 years.
The Anatomy of Spectacular Success.
The ANATOMY OF SPECTACULAR SUCCESS discusses the necessary elements for success to be not only possible but also permanent.
Many of us can and have experienced success once, or twice.
What is the key in experiencing a sustainable success?
What is the key to long-lasting success amidst the most dramatic set of circumstances?
How does our one time SMART GOAL SUCCESS turn into a life-long spectacular success?
Here is the secret.
Unless the success you seek takes its roots in a strong set of values or core-beliefs, grows through a heart-based mission and expands into a clearly articulated life-purpose, the success strategy you devise and the SMART GOAL you set will drive you to a short-term success at best.
The ANATOMY of Success challenges us to ask questions that, without engaging our heart, our mind fails to answer in a compelling way or answer at all!
While our mind helps fulfill all logical and analytical duties, our heart brings the passion necessary to see the goal through especially in times of hardships, uncertainty, and difficulty.
The anatomy of success includes:
Your values
Your principles and core beliefs
The code of conduct you vow to adhere to no matter how uncertain the future may look
Values are to your life-long, spectacular success what a rock-solid foundation is to a building.
If you were to build your dream home and invest all your hard-earned money into it, you would want to make sure that the foundation on which it is built is rock solid, wouldn't you!
Values may include integrity, transparency, honesty, virtue, or any belief or sets of beliefs that serve as the basis of your enterprise.
As such, before you launch any venture with the desire to succeed, think about your values. Reflect upon your core-belief and how you would like to live day-in and day-out, shiny day or rainy day, throughout your venture.
Values are intangible yet they are fully visible through the decisions you make and all the actions you take. People who exude strong values are known to be very dependable, consistent, and congruent.
Values, like the strong roots of tall trees, keep your personality intact no matter how difficult and painful some decisions are. They also help strengthen your determination to succeed.
People with strong values are not immune from hardships. They are simply not bent and broken by hardships. They see hardships as new seas to conquer.
While values give solid roots to your enterprise, your purpose gives the reason for your enterprise to survive the storms of difficulties and to thrive and succeed.
The key to having a purpose is threefold.
- First, the question to answer to is this: "is what I want to accomplish aligned with who I am?"
You may be very talented. You would be a very successful lawyer based on everything that your peers tell you. But deep within you, something calls you to choose the arts. You want to become an actor.
Your mind tells you to pursue law and your heart is whispering to you to follow the arts.
You can see here the importance of a relationship between your calling and your heartfelt desire.
The more connected it is to your heart (not your mind) the more meaningful it is to you, the greater the chance you will fulfill your purpose no matter what the circumstances are and no matter how long it takes. Not only that, you will feel successful throughout the process of fulfilling your calling.
- The second aspect in living your purpose fully is in the answer to a question repeated over and over.
Each one of the successive answers must encompass more and more of those involved. The larger and larger the group, the more passion emanates and the more likely the path to fulfilling your purpose.
Let's use an example.
Let's suppose that you say: "My purpose is to enrich high-school students' lives."
- Ask yourself the following question: Why do you want to enrich high-school students' lives?
Your answer could be: in order that they will enter the adults' world with more self-confidence, hope and optimism.
- Ask yourself: Why is it important that they enter the adults' world with more self-confidence, hope and optimism?
Your answer could be: in this way, they will enjoy even more the work they choose as well as the other activities they sign up for.
- Ask yourself again: Why is it important that they enjoy even more their work and other activities?
Your answer could be: it is important because it is the best way to contribute to a happy and peaceful community.
- Ask yourself again: Why is it important to contribute to a happy and peaceful community?
Your answer could be: a peaceful community is important to me because it is what we, human beings, are here to accomplish together.
In this example, do you see how the same question repeated over and over helps you see the bigger picture and the broader impact your decision to live your purpose has on those around you and the much larger community?
With each answer, do you feel the increased physiological impact such important questions have upon you? Do you realize how important it is to know what your purpose is and to live it? Do you realize your value?
- The third and last aspect of stating your purpose is this: when you complete the exercise that we just did and when you read out loud the questions and the answers each day, a powerful energetic ripple effect starts to happen whereby synchronicity abounds; unexpected phone-calls and encounters happen that move you toward the direction of your purpose.
Is it coincidence? Maybe! …maybe not! What counts is that you feel elevated, filled with enthusiasm and the belief that your life matters, your talents matter, your skills and knowledge and all your individuality matter…because something big awaits you on the path to fulfilling your purpose.
Your purpose helps answer the question "WHY am I here?" It is the invisible presence calling you and nudging you toward its direction.
Your MISSION is not only your commitment to fulfill your purpose but it is also your GPS.
Your MISSION is your Guide to Your Personal Success.
When you state your mission, you are saying "This is how I am going to craft, create, live and achieve my purpose." And every day your mission reveals HOW you spend your time, how you use your skills and knowledge, how you invest your gifts and your talents and how you live your values.
A PURPOSE is broad and more general in terms; a MISSION is more detail oriented.
Based on the example we used earlier to illustrate the value of your purpose, the mission statement could read like this:
"I am here to enrich high-school students 'lives by organizing weekly public-speaking events where they come and express their ideas on topics that matter to them. These meetings will serve as opportunities to foster their leadership, to cultivate their critical thinking and to nurture the spirit of acceptance in differences."
Do you see how your personal mission statement serves as a GPS whereby it guides you toward achieving your purpose?
What is the next logical step?
It is the SMART GOAL.
The SMART Goal dissects the mission statement. It takes it apart to create a plan of actions that will put your mission in motion.
As you complete one SMART GOAL, you will come up with new SMART GOALS. And sooner than you realize your purpose is alive and is thriving as you live your mission every day with power and zest.
This is the reason why, and this is how, influential leaders exude tremendous passion.
Passion emerges from the heart and nourishes the mind so that the mind functions at its highest level of potential.
The secret of spectacular success is in combination of the anatomy of success and the strategy of success.
The SMART GOAL, and its application, is the craft of our mind working at its highest capacity when aligned with the heart.
When the mind and the heart connect, you can move freely toward the success you are here to create and experience… spectacularly!

Squamous Epithelial Cells: Phase Contrast

Note the folded edge of the cytoplasm in the cells indicated by the arrows in the upper image; this is characteristic of squamous epithelial cells. The long, thread-like structures in this microscopic field are mucous strands.

Occasionally splurging on alcohol once or twice a week is no big deal, right? New research published in the British Medical Journal this past November 2010 would argue otherwise. Researchers found heavy drinking or binge drinking a couple days a week worse for the heart than drinking a moderate amount of alcohol throughout the week.
The study
Researchers investigated the effects of alcohol intake patterns on ischemic heart disease in Northern Ireland and France, two countries with contrasting lifestyles.
The 10 year study analyzed the Prospective Epidemiological Study of Myocardial Infarction (PRIME) for 9778 men (2405 men from Belfast, Northern Ireland and 7373 men from France) between the ages of 50-59 years-old.
The participating men were divided into four groups - non-drinkers, former drinkers, regular drinkers, and binge drinkers. Binge drinking was defined as excessive alcohol consumption equivalent to 4 or 5 drinks in a short period of time, such as a weekend day.
Through interviews and questionnaires study assessed alcohol consumption:
- Incidence of binge drinking
- Incidence of regular drinking
- Volume of alcohol intake
- Frequency of alcohol consumption
- Types of alcohol consumed
The study also took into account cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure, waist circumference, physical activity, and belly fat.
The results
The study looked at the relationship between alcohol intake patterns and heart attacks, coronary deaths, and angina pectoris events.
Researchers found middle-aged men in France and Belfast drink about the same quantity of alcohol per week. However, the men in Belfast tend to binge drink at a higher level by consuming the same quantity of alcohol within one or two days compared to the French intake which is spread out over the period of one week.
Another difference is the type of alcohol intake. Men in France tend to drink wine in moderation which has been shown to protect against heart disease, while men in Belfast prefer beer and liquor.
The results show men who binge drink are nearly twice as likely to suffer a heart attack of death related to heart disease compared to regular drinkers.
The risks
Excess alcohol consumption doesn't only impact heart health, but also leads to cirrhosis of the liver, pancreatitis, and certain cancers.

lots of pictures of my home improvements projects are forthcoming! I cannot believe how much got done this week - I love my FIL!!!
As of today, I have a new bathroom and a redecorated family room (finally, I've only been waiting ten years to do it!). My FIL wants to paint another room before he heads back home, but I can't decide which one of the boys' room to tackle. They are both a wreck (they are teenagers, enough said).

Weeks 12 & 13
I fell a little behind in posting my weekly Scripture challenge card, so here for your viewing pleasure are weeks 12 & 13.
Week 15 - JOY
The word of the week was Joy.
The first verse I thought of was "The joy of the LORD is my strength," but I wanted pick something a little less ordinary. So, after some searching, I came across Ps. 16:11 - I can have JOY in this world because God has given me the JOY of His presence. Just knowing He is with me through whatever might come to pass is a great comfort to me; it is also a source of JOY. I can rejoice in the fact that one day I will be with Him forever.

Coast to Coast
My inlaws fly in from Victorville, CA today! I'm looking forward to their visit, all 16 days of it. My in-laws are really great people and my FIL has a sense of humor that I can totally relate to.
They will be here during our kids' spring break, which is a real treat for all of us. We are planning a birthday party for all three kids for next weekend in part because their grandparents are here and in part because we are so anxious to get out in the sunshine after such a dreary winter.

I'm done! I have completed my Paralegal Certificate program and will "officially" be a paralegal in two weeks (once grades are finalized and mailed). I can hardly believe it! I have wanted to do this for so many years, but never had the courage to do it - I had lots of excuses- no time, no money, I'm too old, etc.
I am so thrilled to have had this opportunity, and while I'm glad it's done, I'm kind of sad, too. I will miss checking in with my classmates every day. I will miss the challenge of researching and writing and doing my homework. Yep, I'm a geek - I enjoy homework. I will even miss stressing about quizzes, tests, and deadlines. Even though I do all this at work on a daily basis, it's different somehow (no quizzes or tests LOL). I enjoyed "talking" to my classmates about tough legal issues. It's totally different than brainstorming and discussing cases with my boss - I already know what he thinks LOL
But, now that it's done, I can say that I have completed my education and should the need ever arise for me to find another job, I can add my certificate to my experience and with God's help end up right where He wants me to be. That's the best place to be, regardless of credentials, education, or hard work. God gave me the job I have now, and has orchestrated the events of my life to bring me to this point; God gave me this opportunity; God helped me to do well; God will take care of the rest of it from here.
So, even though I say "I" finished the program, what I mean is that because of God, I was able to take this opportunity and totally enjoy it. With His help, I finished and I finished well. Thank you, Lord.

Week 14 - Comfort
Now that the corporate module is over, I can get back to being creative. It feels good to play with all my paper and stuff again! This week's Scripture Challenge word was "Comfort."
I really felt the benefits of this word last week. Between everyone's encouragement, my husband's confidence in me, and the peace I ultimately felt while waiting for my grade was definitely God's way of giving me comfort through that situation.

Uniform Commercial Code or UCC as it is "un" affectionately called
I have just completed two of the most difficult weeks in my educational life to date. I am so glad it's over, though I am still stressing about my grade, which will not be revealed until midweek.
To the right, you can see the UCC in all its hardbound glory. Yep, all those books for one "Code" covering business entities, securities, and secured transactions. Everything from creating a security interest (buy now, no payments for 24 months), collateral, liens on bank accounts secondary to a financing statement, defaults, PMSIs, blah, blah, blah, etc.
These past two weeks, I have been studying a portion of Article 9 of the UCC for my paralegal class. Can I just reiterate how relieved I am it's over? I have never been so confused by legal jargon in my entire career. The class was HARD. There is just so much to learn and only two weeks to learn it. Now, mind you, this class covered only one section of Article 9 - the typical UCC course takes a law student at least six months to cover and sometimes a year, depending on the law school. My brain is confused.
The grading for the class is based on two quizzes, which I did miserably on, BTW. The professor stated that he will also take into account our participation in the discussions. That's all nice and fine, but there was very little discussion because all of us were so overwhelmed we couldn't discuss anything! Seriously, most of the discussions revolved around how confused and overwhelmed we were and could someone please explain the text in English????
I cannot believe how difficult this class was for me. I have been working in the legal field for 21 years and it threw me for a loop. Granted, I don't work in corporate law, but I have dabbled in it a bit. Apparently, it was nowhere near enough dabbling.
At least it's done. I've done my best. I'm praying that I get a passing grade, or else the past 12 weeks have been for nothing as BU requires at least a C in every course to earn the certificate. Time will tell.... only 57.5 hours until grades are posted.

Can You Say "Food Of The Gods?"
I have a household of picky eaters, some more picky than others. Boy #2 calls himself a breadetarian (sort of like a vegetarian, but because he doesn't eat meat or vegetables, he created another name to accurately define his eating preferences).
Said Boy is very, very picky. There are only a few things he will eat: pizza, pasta with sauce (no meat or meatballs unless said meat or meatballs comes from a can and is made by Chef Boy R Dee), bread (no butter, mayo, peanut butter, jelly or other condiment typically placed thereon), mashed potatoes (instant not real), macaroni and cheese (from the box, not homemade), any sort of dessert product so long as it contains chocolate, breadsticks dipped in marinara, PLAIN potato chips, and occasionally chicken nuggets or breaded chicken patty (only on a good day). He also likes ice cream, but it has to be vanilla or cake batter. Nothing with stuff in it. He will eat peanuts and cashews, but only if they are dry roasted and lightly salted. Apples, peeled. Eggs, over-medium or scrambled and pancakes (plain or chocolate chip). That's it. No steak, hamburger, pork, or fish. No veggies, except maybe corn if he's feeling benevolent toward food. No grapes, peaches, strawberries (or any berry for that matter), or oranges.
As you can well imagine, mealtime at my house is quite an adventure, not to mention a huge undertaking, what with trying to create meals that everyone will at least taste. If they actually eat it, it's a plus!
Well, I have FINALLY come across a recipe that EVERYONE, including picky Son #2 will eat. I had to tell you about Son #2 lack of culinary adventure so that you all could appreciate the following recipe. The child who doesn't eat anything and inspects every morsel of food he puts in his mouth, actually asked for seconds today. I nearly fell over!
So, for all you moms with picky eaters, RUN to the store and pick up these ingredients because your child(ren) will eat this. If Son #2 deemed it not only worth of eating, but worthy of a second serving, ANYONE will eat this.
So, without further adieu, the recipe:
| 3 whole heads garlic, about 40 cloves
2 (3 1/2-pound) chickens, cut into eighths
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons good olive oil
3 tablespoons Cognac, divided
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons heavy creamSeparate the cloves of garlic and drop them into a pot of boiling water for 60 seconds. Drain the garlic and peel. Set aside.
Dry the chicken with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the butter and oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, saute the chicken in the fat, skin side down first, until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Turn with tongs or a spatula; you don't want to pierce the skin with a fork. If the fat is burning, turn the heat down to medium. When a batch is done, transfer it to a plate and continue to saute all the chicken in batches. Remove the last chicken to the plate and add all of the garlic to the pot. Lower the heat and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, turning often, until evenly browned. Add 2 tablespoons of the Cognac and the wine, return to a boil, and scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pot with the juices and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Cover and simmer over the lowest heat for about 30 minutes, until all the chicken is done.
Remove the chicken to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the sauce and the flour and then whisk it back into the sauce in the pot. Raise the heat, add the remaining tablespoon of Cognac and the cream, and boil for 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste; it should be very flavorful because chicken tends to be bland. Pour the sauce and the garlic over the chicken and serve hot.
My child, who will not eat anything that is not boxed, processed, or stripped of fiber and nutrients, loved this dish and asked is he could have some more for supper tonight.
This recipe is the food of the gods..... go ahead and try it and let me know what you think!

Stacey Dooley
Stacey Dooley, one of BBC Three's most popular documentary-makers fronts another powerful, hard-hitting investigation when she travels to Tokyo, Japan to look into what effect the law banning child porn has had and to see if the attitude towards the sexualisation of children has changed.
Stacey discovers a culture where sexual images of young girls are widespread and used for commercial gain. Her first stop is a legal Tokyo JK café in which high-school aged girls are paid to provide company to older men – who tell her that it is perfectly normal to talk about sex and hold hands with girls as young as 15 dressed in school uniform.
Stacey uncovers an even more disturbing legal grey area exists in Japan called Chako Ero where children as young as six are filmed or photographed in erotic clothing. She speaks to a producer of these films as well as a self-confessed paedophile to try and discover just why some Japanese culture seems to encourage inappropriate exploitation and sexualisation of children.
Following the law change, the documentary examines what else Japan is doing to stop normalising the sexualisation of children. Stacey meets volunteers from a charity trying to help vulnerable girls, as well as the Head of the Juvenile Section at the National Police to find what they are doing to protect young girls. Despite their efforts it seems that Japan, one of the richest countries in the world, is light years behind in its attitude to children compared to other G7 countries.

VIP inherits $300K festival debt from NDP
According to Deputy Premier and Minister for Education, Culture, Agriculture, Fisheries, Sports, and Youth Affairs, Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), this is because the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) government has inherited a $300,000 deficit for the previous National Democratic Party (NDP) government.
Saving Money
According to Hon Wheatley—under whose Ministry the Virgin Islands Festival and Fairs Committee (BVIF&FC) falls—the festivities for this year has a budget of $710,000, "We have $710,000 budgeted for the year… Right now we have to attempt to save as much money as possible," he said.
Stressing that he will take the flak for the decision to scale back, Hon Wheatley told reporters on April 5, 2019, "Before we have even started… before we have even spent one red cent, we are already in the hole by approximately $300,000. And that's based on unbudgeted expenses from the previous administration."
According to the first time Minister and known Culturist, an audit is in the making for the accounts of the BVIF&FC books, however, he noted that his government will seek to clear the outstanding debts owed to vendors.
 "I am going to make it a priority to pay vendors who are owed and hopefully they will have some patience, but I think as long as they see that we are making some serious efforts to pay, they will work with us."
Business Continues
The Minister also noted that some of those owed by the previous NDP administration, have already signed on to working with the VIP government.
Speaking on what will happen to the 2019 festivities, Hon Wheatley said, "The allocation we currently have cannot cover that [festivities]... so, we have to make a decision whether we are going to allocate money, which will call [for] money being taken from other areas, or we are going to live within our means."
In a frugal rant, Hon Wheatley said that it is important that the Virgin Islands (VI) live within its means, "Now, if we live within our means, it means that some of what we have become accustomed to, have to be scaled back, and I am willing to take the flog for that."
He said, "It's easy to go out and spend lots and lots of money and everybody has a good time. But considering where we are in our development, considering the needs that we have in this Territory following the storms of 2017, it behoves us to be very responsible in terms of how we spend every cent."

Surface Area
The surface of a solid is the two-dimensional boundary that separates the space inside of the three-dimensional figure from the space outside it. You might think of the surface as the "skin" of the solid. Some curricula compare it to a "wrapper" or "jacket" of the solid. (For more, see surface.)
The surface area of a solid is the area of its surface. It is the area you would need to paint in order to cover the solid. If the object has a surface that can be "unfolded" flat without stretching or distorting it (not possible for all solids), then the area of that flattened surface is the surface area of the solid.
When students first encounter surface area and volume, they may have a hard time distinguishing them because in their earlier study of 2 dimensions, they may well have thought of area as what's "inside" the figure, with perimeter being the measure of the "outside." In three dimensions, the volume is the "inside" and the surface area is a measure of the "outside."
Discovering formulas for surface area
Prisms and cylinders
The reasoning in the sections below applies to right prisms and cylinders, ones that "stand straight up" on their bases (i.e., have axes that are perpendicular to the bases). These are the figures students most commonly encounter in school. The reasoning is easily adaptable for prisms and cylinders that "slant."
Triangular prism
Here are two views ofa triangular prism: . We can "unfold" the prism's surface (you might think of it as the "skin" or "jacket" or "wrapper" of the solid) to see it entirely in a single plane. Here is what it looks like as we begin the unfolding . When the surface is entirely unfolded, it is called the net of the polyhedron, and looks like this: . The net shows the pair of congruent triangles that were the two bases of the prism, and three rectangles that were the lateral faces. The three rectangles can also be viewed as one large rectangle: . The surface area of the triangular prism then is the sum of the areas of these two triangles and the rectangle. Because the triangles are congruent, they have the same area, so the surface area can also be expressed as
2 x Areatriangle + Arearectangle.
Notice that one of the dimensions of the rectangle is the height of the prism and the other dimension is the perimeter of the base triangle. Therefore, the formula can be written as:
Rectangular prisms
We can do the same thing with a rectangular prism . Choosing the green faces as bases,[1] we may unfold to see the net , and may think of that net as a pair of congruent bases and a large rectangle that represents the remaining faces . As before, one of the dimensions of this large rectangle is the height of the prism and the other dimension is the perimeter of the (green) base.
Again, the total area of the net -- which is the same as the total surface area of the prism -- is twice the area of the base (that is, the area of the two green faces) plus the area of the large rectangle (purple, in this figure) that folds around those bases to form the remaining lateral faces.
Other prisms
The surface of a regular right pentagonal or hexagonal prism can be unfolded to form a net with the same characteristic form: two congruent bases and a long rectangle whose dimensions are the height of the prism and the perimeter of the prism's base.
Will this work for prisms whose bases are not regular polygons?
The net of any of these solids consists of the two bases and a rectangle one of whose dimensions matches the perimeter of the base. Thus, the formula applies to all right polygonal prisms.
What about cylinders?
Picture removing the circular top and bottom of a cylindrical oatmeal box and then, using one, straight, vertical cut, slitting open the side and flattening it out. The result is three pieces: the circular bases, and the rectangular wall of the box. One dimension of that wall is the height of the box; the other dimension matches the circumference of the circular base.
Although, in the case of the circle, we normally refer to the measurement around its interior as circumference rather than perimeter, the principle is the same! The surface area of any of these solids -- right prisms or cylinders -- is:
(2 x Areabase) + (height x Perimeterbase)
Pyramid and Cone
Again, the reasoning here applies directly only to the right pyramid and cone.
The net of a pyramid with a square base consists of a square and four congruent triangles.
The triangles can be rearranged to form a parallelogram. The base of this parallelogram is half the perimeter (semiperimeter) of the square and its height is the slant height of the pyramid. Thus, the formula for the surface area of this pyramid is
Area of square + 1/2 perimeter of square * height of triangle
