text: With so many of my friends expecting new arrivals to their families, I wanted to make a insulated baby bottle cover that could help to keep a feeding bottle warm. I thought this could be used while out and about, or for night time feeds. I did a little online research and many looked difficult to open with round zippers and the like. With a baby in one arm, who needs complicated so I decided on a simple drawstring version which could more easily be pulled open. This shows you how to create a double insulated baby bottle cover, and a video tutorial is included.

Helpful Tips For Maximizing Your Online Earnings
Over the years, more and more people have been looking online to earn some extra income. And you can do that in many ways! Popular methods range from personal online websites to taking paid surveys. Keep reading to find out more.
Schedule your time wisely. Making money online is related to your perseverance in doing what you are doing on a regular basis. You cannot get rich overnight. You will need to attack it each and every day. Set aside a specific time during the day. Spend at least one hour per day on your craft.
Take a look at survey work. Lots of online survey opportunities exist. Completing surveys allows you to generate a nice income stream. They will not get you rich but can help a lot. However, they can be done while you're watching TV if you like, and the money will add up.
Search Google about how to make money online. There you will find lengthy lists of different options. Once you have found a good looking opportunity, research the company reputation and reviews. Always be wary, and you won't get scammed.
Determine how much money you should get for your time prior to doing any work. What is the least amount per hour you're willing to take for any given job? You will have a difficult time making more money if you set your standards too low. You will be seen as sub-standard in your work and that is how you will be paid.
Legitimate online jobs exist and you should NOT have to pay anything to a company to access them. A legit business won't charge you anything to work for it. They will have little to offer you once they get their money, so don't fall for websites that offer "memberships" to be able to access their list of supposedly great paying jobs. Avoid companies like this at all costs.
Develop as many online income streams as you can. It is better to have a few sources of income so that you have options and don't get burnt out doing the same old thing all the time. An opportunity may be great today and gone tomorrow. Your best bet is putting more than one egg in your basket. When one stream dries up, you can rely on your others instead.
If you have good writing skills, you can write and sell e-books. If you know a good amount about a particular subject, then you can educate the world and earn a few bucks doing it. Recipes can be great e-book subjects.
Give others the opportunity to advertise through you. You can make money from ads that are on your website. If your blog is popular, it is sure to appeal to merchants who wish to advertise online. The ad will send your visitors to a site that offers services or goods.
You can make money online in lots of ways, as long as you learn the ropes. You've found a lot of that in this post. The tips can definitely help can you going. Follow the tips presented here to make a little extra cash or to replace your current income.

Dataset Investment by insurance companies, pension funds and trusts (MQ5) - revisions triangle
08 March 2019
The Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2018 MQ5 statistical bulletin is the last MQ5 in its current form. As initially announced in September 2018, changes to ONS surveys that cover the financial sector will be necessary over the next two years, as part of the Enhanced Financial Accounts (EFA) initiative. The ONS, in partnership with the Bank of England, plans to improve the quality, coverage and granularity of UK financial statistics. This work entails wide-ranging redesign and replacement of surveys that currently provide the data presented in this publication, making continued production of the MQ5 statistical bulletin in its current form unviable. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause. If you have any concerns relating to this announcement please email email@example.com.

Deliverance & Doubt by South of Royal, Free for CAPC Members
Deliverance & Doubt by South of Royal is a clean collection of synth-pop/rock songs with catchy hooks that would feel at home on any new Hillsong or Coldplay album.
The Christ and Pop Culture 25 is a list of our favorite people, works of art, or cultural artifacts from the last year that we feel best represent God's truth and grace in the world. The list is extremely weird, a meandering, whiplash-inducing product of the diverse perspectives of our writers. We wouldn't have it any other way. The goal of our list is to illuminate and appreciate the good both in and outside of the church, to show the way God uses Christians to shine a light on the world, and the ways God's common grace spills out into the most surprising places.
Each of our writers submitted their top five choices for the categories of film, television, music, games, books, internet, and people. We then used our magic algorithm to compile those choices into a tentative list of around thirty items. Finally, a panel of four Christ and Pop Culture writers, each representing various perspectives and expertise, met over the internet for three plus hours to hash out exactly how the list should look.
While our list is in no way meant to be authoritative or objective, it is a serious attempt at appreciating culture, a task that is at the forefront of Christ and Pop Culture's purpose.
We'll be publishing five selections every day this week. On Wednesday and Friday, we'll run a two-part podcast in which you can hear exactly how the CAPC25 Council determined the order and make-up of our list.

It's not often when an album comes along that gives someone a reason to slow down, take a breath and pay attention, but The War on Drugs' Lost in a Dream demands exactly this. What began as background music stopped me from multitasking as the ambient sounds found resonance with my general weariness. This refreshing album beckons us to pause for a period of time in our convoluted world.
These Philly natives have been around since 2005, and I feel slightly ashamed — though, also, grateful — that their latest effort was my first foray into their music. The War on Drugs creates soundscapes you can live in, inhabited by words: the lyrics and chameleon-like vocals of Adam Granduciel. There are moments throughout Lost in the Dream where it seems Granduciel is possessed by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Don Henley. It's almost uncanny, at times, but also seems right at home within the spaces of sound that they create for his voice to move around in.
Unlike the rest of their work, Lost in the Dream strikes an almost dreamlike state. Sprawling six to nine minute songs reflect no rush of urgency. Yet it never feels as long as it is, a testament to how the album mesmerizes its listener. If Lost in the Dream is any indication, maybe rock 'n' roll isn't completely dead, but in the process of being born again. – Blake I. Collier
Attentiveness is the gift Marilynne Robinson offers us in her latest novel, Lila. By worldly standards, the story's title character deserves hardly a first, let alone a second, glance. Unwanted as a child, Lila ekes out what life she can from her orphaned childhood on. From field-to-field, town-to-town, job-to-job, Lila creeps through the world unnoticed, until arrested by the eye of respectable John Ames, venerable pastor of Gilead, Iowa.
While her seemingly insatiable desire for belonging and security struggles with the vulnerability she invites by acknowledging that desire, Lila accepts Ames's kindnesses, little by little. And little by little, this grace changes her. In this way, and drawing from its central biblical allusion to Ezekiel, Lila tells the story of resurrection, of salvation through sacrifice, of the painful work of grace.
Though some have criticized Lila for poorly representing Christian soteriology, Robinson's fiction offers insight into human nature and the human condition, not discursive theology. Few writers capture, as Robinson does, the fragility of relationships, the immensity of joy and pain, the difficulty of giving and receiving compassion. And fewer still do so with such beauty. Through her poetic prose, Robinson makes small delights luminous; in her fiction, even desolation has its graces.
Yet insight is not quite the right word; perhaps I should have said, Robinson's fiction offers a glimpse into human nature and the human condition. For she definitively answers no questions. Rather, Lila invites us into the mystery of life, to more fully experience it for ourselves, to really contemplate our situation. Robinson's story of this abandoned child reminds us of ourselves. We know not why Ames — or God — intervenes, the outcast to save. Any answers to this mystery are not for Robinson to give. They are for us to discover, and Lila beckons us to begin. – Marybeth Davis Baggett
In 2014 Hollywood discovered the evangelical market, flooding theaters with films like Son of God, Noah, God's Not Dead, Heaven Is for Real, Left Behind, and Exodus: Gods and Kings. Financially, the strategy worked, netting studios over $330 million, but the cultural and spiritual effect of this trend is questionable at best. The increased attention on American evangelical cultural taste has revealed that — as a general rule — we don't quite know how to evaluate, appreciate, or critique these productions. And so our voice in this media-driven, pluralistic world becomes muted, our message untranslatable to those most needing its truth.
Alissa Wilkinson has been prepared for such a time as this. As chief film critic for Christianity Today, Wilkinson models and encourages graceful, insightful cultural analysis, chock-full of gems that remind us the gospel truth overspills its scriptural boundaries and shows up in unexpected places.
For those not familiar with her CT column, Watch This Way, here Wilkinson covers the big and small screen, and her essays range from reviews of individual stories, to thematic or topical surveys, to big-picture arguments about the nature of Christian cultural criticism, storytelling, and art. Her take is often nontraditional, yet always orthodox; check out "Lessons from the Church of Satan" for this surprising combination. Even still it is an accessible column, filled with anecdotes and callbacks that reward the regular reader. In each of these endeavors, Wilkinson brings illumination, substance, humor, and courage. (Lest you doubt courage is necessary, check out the comment section of this piece).
Wilkinson's work is driven by her conviction that for Christians cultural engagement is not optional. Sharing the gospel requires understanding it, recognizing it at work in this world, and communicating its importance to ourselves and others. Again and again, Wilkinson shows us how to do just that. – Marybeth Davis Baggett
If you were looking for smart, funny women in 2014, you didn't have to look far. Memoirs by Lena Dunham and Amy Poehler hit the bestseller list. "Jane the Virgin" debuted to acclaim, starring Gina Rodrigez and created by Venezualen director Perla Farias. Anne Helen Petersen finished her PhD and took a job writing accessible, intelligent longform pieces for — of all places — Buzzfeed.
But the true breakout star in the smart women genre this year was The Toast, a website started just eighteen months ago by Mallory Ortberg and Nicole Cliffe. First of all, it's funny: take a look at their Dad Magazine covers, or these Texts from Emily Dickinson. Second, it's inclusive: Nicole and Mallory consistently offer their platform to voices that can be harder to hear in our culture. They run pieces they expect their audience to disagree with.
Perhaps most importantly, Mallory and Nicole (and the other contributors) write about things like sex, politics, and religion without resorting to jargon, cliché, or equivocating. (Even effectively satirizing such cliché from time to time.) In the recurring series "Gabbin' about God," for example, Mallory answers Nicole's questions about Christianity — sometimes bringing in her dad (pastor John Ortberg) to explain things.
As American culture becomes increasingly post-Christian, it's this kind of voice — free of technical terms, down to earth, non-confrontational, like Francis Spufford in Unapologetic — that we need to learn how to use. The Toast gives us a great place to start. – Amy Peterson
Film critic Manny Farber coined the phrase "termite art" to describe a very specific kind of film that is unconcerned with boundaries or conventional good taste. It is concerned only with moving forward, constantly establishing new boundaries by eating away at the old ones. Like a termite burrowing through a block of wood, this kind of film makes its own path, even if it goes against the grain to do so.
Members of the Academy, for your consideration I give you Bong Joon-ho's Snowpiercer, the termite-iest example of termite art to hit cinemas this year.
Everything about this movie is bonkers, from the squint-and-cock-your-head sci-fi premise (humanity escapes a new ice age by building and boarding a planet-spanning freight train) to Tilda Swinton's blackly hilarious performance as a schoolmarmish authority figure with a heart of obsidian. As the protagonists move from the back of the train to the front in a quest to overthrow their dystopian oppressors, each train car presents us with a fantastically strange new environment. Which is your favorite — the car that houses a 24/7 rave club or the car that's basically a giant fish aquarium?
All of this is spellbinding, inventive, and utterly mad — the best blockbuster of the year, for my money. There is a purpose behind it, though, that goes beyond a mere desire to entertain. Because Bong Joon-ho disregards common storytelling conventions, he bypasses the defenses that audiences have built over time, slipping past the jaded watchmen of our imaginations to make us think in new, perhaps uncomfortable ways about stratified societies; human nature; and the bizarre things that can happen when technology, politics, and religion come together and kiss. Long live the termites. – Kevin McLenithan

Same Day Service
All requests are accommodated as permitted.
Same Day Service
Our typical turnaround time is 1-2 weeks depending on the number of clothing items you bring in and the complexity of the alterations.
We understand not everyone has the luxury of waiting 2 weeks for a suit, dress or pair of jeans needed to wear for an event. It can be quite frustrating to find the perfect garment for a special occasion or night out only to realize it's too long or needs a minor nip tuck somewhere.
All requests are accommodated as permitted.
Rush service rates include:
- Same Day Alterations & Tailoring Service $10-20 per item + alteration cost
- Next Day Alterations & Tailoring Service $ 10-20 per item + alteration cost
- 3 Day Turnaround Service $ 6+ per item + alteration cost
- Same Day Repairs (buttons & small holes at seams) starting at $10
- Rush charges on specialty items, such as bridal and designer, will vary.
We provide our rates so you can factor them into your decision when making purchases requiring quick alterations. At times the alterations may cost more than the clothing.
At Sew Chic all seamstresses are paid a living wage, whereas much of the clothing we buy is made overseas in countries with low wage standards. We believe everyone deserves to be compensated for a job well done—particularly when expedited.

CLARE'S Independent TD has called on Minister Richard Bruton to clarify what exactly is planned for Moneypoint, when it comes to the end of its operating life in 2025 as a coal burning power station. Dr Michael Harty has written to the Minister for Communication, Climate Action and Environment to express his concerns about the future of the power station. Dr Harty said there is a lack of any hard information in the Department's 2018 Annual Transition Statement other than it is Government policy that coal-fired electricity generation should cease at Moneypoint by 2025 and that any final decision to replace coal-fired electricity generation must be consistent with stated Government energy and climate policy. "Although Moneypoint is owned by semi-state ESB Power Generation, Government must set the agenda on behalf of the citizens of the country. I ask the minister to clarify what exactly is planned for Moneypoint when it comes to the end of its operating life in 2025 …Read More »
Source of Moneypoint coal a burning issue
CERREJÓN mine in north-eastern Colombia is a fifth of the size of Clare but supplies the majority (approximately 90%) of the coal for Moneypoint power station, Ireland's largest energy generation station and greenhouse gas emitter. The coal sourced from this area is tainted by the abuses suffered by the local people who endure threats, intimidation, police brutality, forced displacement and human rights abuses. Their indigenous lands and homes have been destroyed to make way for this colossus of a mine that continues to expand and leaves a trail of human suffering in its wake. The Irish Government, through the ESB, has purchased 11.2 million tonnes of coal from Colombia in the last seven years, most of which is from Cerrejón and continues to do so, all while well-documented cases of wrongdoing by the mine are available from various NGOs. Under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ESB and Ireland have a responsibility "for human rights impacts …Read More »

I've been reading a book titled, Jesus Plus Nothing. It is impacting me in that the author makes the case that Jesus provides experiences in our lives that we all desire. Experiences that often seem unattainable. As our family goes through this season of cancer we are comforted by these truths of Jesus outlined in the book.
Four Life Transforming Experiences:
The Experience of Peace: Jesus was all about peace. Peace is not just absence of conflict or cessation of the battles waging in us and around us. It's a sense of inner calm that all is going to be alright.
The Experience of Joy: Joy is different from happiness. Joy is deeper than that. Happiness depends upon the happenings that are going on right now. Joy is an inner quality of seeing things with a positive perspective. Joy is the ability to enjoy the scenery, when you are on a detour!
The Experience of Love: Although peace and joy are commonly identified with Jesus, love is the theme of who Jesus is and what he taught. Most Christian children know the song, "Jesus loves me, this I know." Jesus is the epitome of love. To act like Jesus is to do the loving thing. – This love relationship is so tight that a follower of Jesus can actually own the love of God in himself.
The Experience of Grace: Grace is something you don't deserve, something you didn't work for, something you weren't able to plan for or to orchestrate. Grace is given by Jesus, many times with no rhyme or reason to it. – Two of the dynamics within the experience of grace are forgiveness and freedom.
As we reflect on these experiences, we are reminded that we are being invited into the peace, joy, love and grace of Jesus every day, every moment. He is with us, we are in his care.

Embarrassing incident at prof's house
orange turtle replied to orange turtle's topic in Officially GradsWe had our meeting this morning and it was a series of tongue-tied awkwardness. I went in determined to do this as dignified as I could, chair fumbled all the way, and finally I just laughed and called a halt to the meeting. And said--how about we just agree I was never there and you didn't see anything? He started to laugh after that. So tension was broken. And the funniest part was when he walked me out, there was a some leftovers from the lab meeting next door on the table. And on the table was hummus, dip and pita. He just looked at me and said very seriously "I didn't see anything.". So as far as we are concerned, nothing happened. All is good! ?
Embarrassing incident at prof's house
orange turtle replied to orange turtle's topic in Officially Grads@a_sort_of_fractious_angel Thanks for that perspective. It is very helpful to hear from someone on the "other side." And I'm glad you helped the guy! @Sigaba Yeah, I was thinking about the humour piece but was also very aware of how it will be perceived. Having been subjected to sexual harassment myself, I am very aware of how things can go wrong and fast. At this point, I don't quite care anymore. I can't make him un-see things and I have to see this man at least once a year. And I will be seeing him during department events as well so it's not like I can spend all my time avoiding him. I would need to GPS track him for that, and I am VERY sure that would be harassment. Oh. I didn't think HE would be worried about a sexual harassment charge. But good point--I'll be extra careful to not make it worse. All in all, I'm glad I didn't have a bigger injury. Just 4 stitches and a badge of honour across my forehead. I am wearing a The Hulk band aid today. That should be harmless enough.
Embarrassing incident at prof's house
orange turtle replied to orange turtle's topic in Officially GradsThe thing I am more concerned about is if it might be perceived as sexual harassment. We are meeting to talk about an unavoidable nudity incident and his awkward comment and I show up teasing him. I guess I am going in with the "upper hand" in this meeting as he probably is much more uncomfortable than I will be now.
Embarrassing incident at prof's house
orange turtle replied to orange turtle's topic in Officially GradsI got an email from chair this morning saying we should meet. I am tempted to put a sticker of a wine bottle on the bandaid on my forehead since I got covered in wine but I don't know if he has a sense of humour.
Embarrassing incident at prof's house
orange turtle replied to orange turtle's topic in Officially Grads@schenar @Hope.for.the.best @E-P @Sigaba Thank you for your responses and suggestions. (@E-P you gave me a very good laugh, and if this wasn't a prof, I would actually do it) Well, update from these-things-only-happen-to-me. I took your advice to say thank you with a card, think about what I want to say, look him in the eye and all that. So I went to the drug store today to pick up some cards. At the exact moment I walked in, grad chair walks out. Neither of us could even pretend we didn't see the other because it was the same small door, and there was no one nearby. There was a very awkward silence, we both stared at our feet, he mumbled something, but then I collected myself and stated in as dignified a manner as I could something like: I am feeling very self-conscious but I wanted to say thank you for making sure I was ok and getting medical help. It came out in a bit of a squeak and I know I was flushing, but I got it out without dying from embarrassment. That's when it went quite south. Just as I was finishing my sentence, he blurts out "from what I saw, you have nothing to be embarrassed about!!!" I saw his look of horror immediately after he said it and he blushed horribly. Of course, I was horrified. We both mumbled a hasty goodbye and bolted in the opposite direction. I am not sure how either of us will face each other in August now. If this was a friend like Chandler and Rachel in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. in that episode where Chandler accidentally caught Rachel coming out of the shower, I guess I could always joke and say "You've seen mine, now show me yours" but omg, this is my prog chair.
Embarrassing incident at prof's house
orange turtle posted a topic in Officially GradsSomething very very embarrassing happened to me recently. My grad chair had a social event for the grad students at his house. It was summer, the weather was nice, 2 students in the program had successfully defended, 1 faculty member got a huge award. Many students and faculty showed up. Anyway, sometime at the end of the social gathering, there was a bit of an unfortunate mishap when one of my classmates who was helping with the cleaning up slipped near the pool and basically covered me in hummus, spinach dip, chilli, olive oil and wine. The prof gave me a towel and let me use the guest bathroom to shower as even my hair was covered in food. His daughter lent me some clothes. I don't quite remember what happened after that. Apparently I had somehow slipped in the shower (must be the olive oil!) and cut my head. I woke up in the hospital later with stitches. A classmate went to the hospital with me and she said that the prof had gotten very worried when I was in the shower for a very long time. He got his daughter to knock and when there was no answer after a while, he broke the lock. Prof and daughter found me lying out cold in the shower and he carried me out. I vaguely remember my prof calling me and a male paramedic but not much else. I am very grateful I was rescued and that I didn't drown and my injury isn't too bad, but I am also horribly mortified that a male prof who is also my grad chair has seen me stark naked. The grad students in my program have a one-on-one meeting with the grad chair in August every year for a progress update and I have my meeting with him in the first week of August. I am just too embarrassed to show up. I know it was necessary because I was injured but just thinking about it is making me cringe. We have not had any communication since the incident and although I want to thank him, I am so horrified. Someone please please tell me something similar has happened to them and they survived and they have advice or suggestions of what to do. I guess he might be embarrassed as well. *red red red face*
This is interesting for two reasons. a) it's clear the same situation can be interpreted in different ways by the person experiencing it and also the person who listens to the story. b) Not many people in my program have tattoos that are visible! Maybe they have them but don't show them, I don't know. But definitely not many who have them. Even hairstyles are "normal" and very visible piercings are the conventional nose and ear ones. Guess program cultures vary. Thanks for sharing!
I guess the good news is I am not paranoid. The bad news is some profs are creepy.
@juilletmercredi Thank you for validating my feelings. It is very exhausting: instead of wondering how to make my science better, I am wondering about which parts of my skin I should cover and which parts are "safe" to show.
Everyday Dress Code
orange turtle replied to noisemaker483's topic in Officially GradsAll my friends in biomedical and related fields wear jeans, tshirts, and shirts to the lab. Some also wear exercise attire. There will be lab dress codes to adhere to (e.g., closed shoes, long pants) but I rarely see people dress up except when presenting or teaching. Even then, some don't follow that rule. I'm on the west coast though and it's chilled here. I suggest visiting campus before school starts and just hanging out in the building and people watching if you don't feel comfortable reaching out to current students as @Sangria1700 suggested. You can often learn a lot just by people watching.
Agreed with being more careful when teaching, and I definitely do dress up more when doing teaching and presentations. Good reminder! The "didn't expect you to have a tattoo" is the part that actually extra creeps me up. I recently happened to read this paper that suggested men tended to think a woman with a tattoo was more likely to sleep with them. Couple it with the wink and I'm feeling quite creeped. (Not saying all men are like this as I know many gentlemen). Guess I will be going back to wearing my more professional clothes. It can be so hard to be a woman in a male-dominated field. I am tired.
Tattoos in grad school
orange turtle posted a topic in Officially GradsThis is the deal: I have a tattoo on the back of one of my shoulder blades. It's a science geeky tattoo. Small (about 2 inch by 2 inch?), not flashy, but noticeable. I often forget it is there. I also usually wear sleeved clothes. It's the summer now and I have been wearing more sleeveless tops, and in some of them, the tattoo can be seen. Last week, I wore a sleeveless cotton shirt and during lunch, went to sit outside to enjoy the weather. One of the guy profs in my program was eating his lunch outside and we acknowledged each other. When he was passing me going back in, he said "I really like that tattoo on you" and then winked and left. I'm really self-conscious now. Was that behaviour okay? I have never thought about covering it up, but now I am not so sure. However, I wasn't "flashing" it or anything. Honestly, I forgot it was there. Is inking inappropriate for school? Should I cover it up to prevent the whole...if you show it, it means you want me to see behaviour? I was really creeped out by the prof and his comment. Help! Edit: Would your answer to my question be different if the prof had said "Nice tattoo" or "I really like that tattoo" or "Cool tattoo" without the "...on you" and winking?

orange turtle replied to orange turtle's topic in Teaching@fuzzylogician and @rising_star Thank you for the thoughts and suggestions! I'm going to go look into this. End and beginning of term comes with a lot of work, thus my late reply.
SSHRC Doctoral Award/CGS (funding for 2018-2019)
orange turtle replied to PsychBoy's topic in The BankHey SSHRCers, I just wanted to send a note to say if you have been awarded the fellowship, congratulations! If you were not successful this time around, try again. There is a huge amount of many unknown variables, and as sucky as it sounds, there is a huge amount of luck involved. Don't take it personally if you were rejected (been there). You (We) are better and more valuable than the score on your (our) application. We are all out there doing work we believe in, putting our blood, sweat, and tears into our fields, and we go back over and over no matter how many times we fail because we believe we have something to contribute to society. That's something to be proud of. I am so proud of all of you!
Helping struggling student in class
orange turtle posted a topic in TeachingHi. I have noticed that one of the students in the class I TA has been looking progressively more distressed over the winter term. She has not been participating in discussions as much, lost quite a lot of weight, comes to class with dark rings under her eyes, and I can see her collarbones when she takes off her jacket. At the end of classes last month, she asked me if I would be TAing another class she was interested in in the fall, and when I said yes, she said she was going to take it. I will be seeing her again in a few months. Should I say something if I notice that she still looks distressed? Should I say something now? I can't quite tell if the distress is stress from school, life, illness, or drug abuse, and I don't want to guess. I feel responsible to say something, but I don't know how. All the web pages I googled say to approach her in private, ask her how she is doing, express concern, listen, acknowledge my limitation in expertise, suggest resources without forcing her to use the resources, and follow-up. What do you think? Has anyone here tried it? What strategies worked? I struggled and am still struggling with my own life. I do wish professors had approached me to ask how I was doing because as I learned, several noticed. I don't want the same to happen to her but am not sure if she would feel the same way I did about being approached. Advise, please and thanks.

I have a thinking job. It's all about idea generation and the next big thing.
Well, my thinker isn't thinking so good. I'm foggy with exhaustion, hunger, thirst, what kind of stroller we should get. I'm usually clawing tooth and nail to have "the" idea – the one that people get excited about. Now I'm excited when I get to go home and sleep.
Not sure whether I'll adjust over the next 6 months – or if the days of building my career are over. It's sad to think that time has passed. But really, I'm too tired to care right now.
Perhaps a big idea will come to me while I sleep.

Jeff Bridges gives one of the best performances of his career as Bad Blake, a once-popular country musician who has been reduced to low-paying gigs in bowling alleys with teenage backup bands. When a young journalist (Maggie Gyllenhaal) tracks him down for an interview, he embarks on a relationship fraught with risks on both sides. Robert Duvall and Colin Farrell provide support.
For more than two decades, James "Whitey" Bulger ruled the mean streets of South Boston with brutality and virtual impunity before vanishing in 1994; he successfully eluded capture until his 2011 arrest in Santa Monica. In one of the best performances of his career, Johnny Depp effectively vanishes into this slippery character, whose skill at playing opposite sides against one another put an FBI agent (Joel Edgerton) in his pocket. With Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson and Kevin Bacon. "Cooper bathes the film in a look that feels unfailingly true to the period without ever verging on kitsch; it's a movie that isn't just taking place in the late '70s and early '80s but seems to have been made then." – Scott Foundas, Variety.

A Slate editor received an email with the from line "Rachel, me (2)." Assuming that someone had replied to an email he sent, he opened it.
It turned out to be a fundraising email from Act Blue and Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
While most campaigns have not yet done anything this sleazy, they are nearing the line, Aaron Mak writes in Slate an article focusing on Democratic efforts.
Other misleading subject lines include:

Centerstage / UPI Asia Online
Alexander Martin Remollino
Manila, Philippines, August 27 — In the debate on whether or not the Moros — the Islamized inhabitants of what are now known as the Philippine Islands — should be granted ancestral domain rights in Mindanao, there are those who have put forward the argument that Christians are the majority in the island. The implication is that since the Christians are the majority in Mindanao, there should be no talk of self-determination for the island's Islamized population.
Such an argument, which is bereft of historical validity, does not in any manner help the quest for what has been a long-elusive peace in Mindanao.
The Moros are now a majority only in a relatively small number of Mindanao provinces, but they were once the majority in the entire island. They had and continue to have a socio-political and economic system, as well as a culture, distinct from that of the regional groups who were eventually Christianized.
It is important to understand that the Moros became a minority in Mindanao through a series of historical travesties starting from the Spanish colonial era.
Though the Spaniards were never able to conquer Mindanao, they nevertheless included it in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, through which the U.S. purchased the Philippines as a colony from Spain, months after the Filipino revolutionaries had proclaimed independence. The U.S., through sheer brute force, defeated the Moro forces who resisted its colonial drive.
The inclusion of Mindanao in the U.S. annexation of the Philippines paved the way, through legislation, for large-scale non-Muslim migration to Mindanao. A number of the settlers engaged in land-grabbing.
Shortly after the U.S. granting of "independence" to the Philippines in 1946, in which Mindanao was included instead of being treated separately, the Philippine government was confronted with a communist-led, largely peasant-based armed struggle. Part of the government's attempts to defuse this struggle was the creation, in the 1950s, of a Mindanao Homestead Program — under which lands grabbed from Moros were given to former Hukbong Mapagpalaya ng Bayan (HMB or People's Liberation Army) guerrillas who had availed of amnesty.
It is through these series of historical travesties that the Moros ended up being driven to the margins in their own land. To dismiss the Moro people's claim for self-determination with the argument that Christians are now the majority in Mindanao is to deny a whole litany of historical wrongs that need to be corrected.
Recognizing the need to correct these wrongs is the key to the realization of peace in Mindanao.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The much anticipated eleventh game of the UCF Football Schedule has officially been announced, slating a September 28 kickoff against the Austin Peay Governors.
"I can't thank Oliver Luck and the staff at the NCAA enough for their help and understanding of our situation," Director of Athletics Danny White said.
"We greatly appreciate Austin Peay being willing to visit Spectrum Stadium. We're thrilled for our student-athletes, who deserve every opportunity they can get to go out and compete. I know our fans will be excited about the opportunity to have another Saturday at Spectrum Stadium."
There was a violent undercurrent surrounding the University after the cancellation of two home games early in the season in light of complications stemming from Hurricane Irma, alluding that scheduling this game was absolute certainty. The only bridge left to cross was finding the ideal opponent.
Austin Peay recently snapped the longest losing streak in Division One NCAA Football, snapping a 29-game losing streak on September 16 with a 69-13 dismantling of Morehead State.
Suspended players Tristan Payton and Nevelle Clarke will have served their six-game suspension the week before, meaning that Austin Peay marks their first action this season. Adding an FCS opponent with a penchant for losing may be the best thing for UCF, as the Knights are clawing their way to a second consecutive bowl-game berth.
Having already lost a game this season, it would have been tough to justify adding a high-profile team that offers little chance of victory, let alone in a condensed season with one less chance for the Knights to make an impression on the field.
Hard tickets and parking passes will be delivered to all season ticket-holders and premium ticket-holders prior to the Oct. 28 game with Austin Peay.
Kickoff time and broadcast information for the Knights-Governors matchup will be announced at a later date.

You may enroll in a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) if one is offered by the RF in your geographical area. In this type of plan, you receive health care from physicians or other providers who are part of the HMO, unless you are referred by the HMO to a physician or provider who is not part of the HMO. Typically you are charged a copayment for office visits and for filling prescriptions.
If you need care while outside your HMO's service area, only emergency and limited care is available to you, although some HMOs have reciprocal agreements with HMOs outside their service area.
Before enrolling in an HMO, thoroughly review the coverage provisions of the plan. Although HMOs provide hospitalization coverage and a comprehensive plan of medical and surgical care, some provisions differ from those established for the RF PPO. If you are interested in HMO coverage, your campus Benefits Office can give you information about HMOs in your area.
Contact your local HMO for answers to specific questions about coverage.
For additional information regarding HMOs and related processes, please refer to the Health Care section of the Benefits Handbook or Postdoctoral Benefits Handbook.
Contact your campus benefits office for more information.

Salt Lab has announced that their latest mobile game, New Born, will be launched in Korea later this July.
New Born is a survival shooter game made with the Unreal Engine 4. Players get to toy around with Shotguns, Rifles, Sniper and even Rocket Launchers. The development team for New Born were once involved with the development of Alliance of Valiant Arms (A.V.A) and Metro Conflict: Presto.
I'm not a big fan of playing shooter games on my mobile but in recent years, the quality and controls of these shooter games have improved a lot thus I'm really looking forward to get my hands on the game.
The game is story driven and Players get "grow" your character in a linear way. At launch, the game only provides co-op mode game play. However, those of you who are more interested in PVP, you'll be glad to know that is in their upcoming pipeline.
News is that the developers are already looking for a Japanese publisher to work with to publish the game in Japan. However, there is no information on whether the game will be coming to the global market. So if any global publishers read this, here's one potential fan waiting for a global release!

More Money With Less Effort
Do you feel like you're somehow causing your own money problems, but don't know how to change? Does it seem like your finances are always a struggle because—
- There is just never enough.
- You're on a roller coaster. Whenever you think you're getting ahead, life seems to take it away (you "forget" and take a break from what's brought in the customers, a bill you'd forgotten about comes due, your car breaks down) and you have to struggle again.
- You know you could and should be making more, but it's like there's a limit on how much money you can make.
If you struggle with any of these or other money problems, please know that it's not your fault. You just have some subconscious blocks, or "programming," that keep tripping you up.
And it doesn't have to be this way!
Imagine instead that:
- You don't have to worry about the bills because you earn more than enough money (and know you can bring in more).
- You manage your money well.
- Instead of worrying about your finances all the time, you spend your time and attention on those things that bring you joy, like time with your loved ones, enjoying a good book, having dinner with friends, planning your next vacation, or anything you want!
Join my Money Blocks Solution where we use EFT/Tapping to release the subconscious money blocks that are getting in your way.
Together we'll rewrite that programming to get rid of your subconscious blocks and make it easy to make more money and keep it, too.
You'll join seven other people who are working on their blocks too. We'll meet together for 8 ninety-minute session. It's all virtual, so you can join us from the comfort of your home or office.
- Together we'll explore what caused your subconscious money blocks and release those blocks.
- You'll get at least two 30-minute "hotseats" to go deep on specific issues that have been holding you back.
- By working with the group, you'll get more than you would have on your own. You'll release blocks brought by the other members of the group—blocks you may not know you have.
When your blocks are finally gone you can start making and keeping the money you want.
For years I've struggled with a pattern of making money in my business, then having a big dip where the money goes out and I feel like I'm back to struggling again. I tried a lot of different things to fix it, but I just couldn't seem to change that pattern.― Rucsandra Mitrea (Vital Directives founder and author of You Don't Have to Live in Pain)
When I started working with Nancy, I was surprised by all the different messages around money she uncovered that I had taken in from growing up in a communist country. Together we've tapped and gotten rid of messages like "There's never enough money" and "There's no point in saving since something will come and take it all away."
I feel the difference after every session with Nancy. The heaviness I've had all my life is lifting. I feel more secure in myself.
Lately I've been getting more referrals from unexpected places. I was also asked to be the main guest on a radio interview that got me in front of a lot of my ideal clients. Things are happening in my business. It's taking off!
What makes this work is I use EFT (also called "Tapping") to get rid of what has been preventing you from making and keeping money. This is not about trying to push you to follow a budget or keep increasing your motivation. You already know what to do and you're motivated enough! You know that's not the problem. Let's free you from what really has been holding you back. Once and for all. Then you can see what life can be like when you're not getting in your own way.
Email me at email@example.com. We'll set up a free Money Assessment Call to talk about your subconscious blocks and see if the group is right for you.Book a Call

New Zealand farmed pork is fighting more than just beef and chicken for a place on your plate - it's also fighting the school holidays and the Lotto jackpot.
In the documentary MEAT, which has now been made available to New Zealand Herald readers on nzherald.co.nz, a pig farmer from Otago quipped every time the Lotto jackpotted pork sales would drop.
Pig farmer Ian Carter, who features in the film, said pork sales dropped every time Lotto jackpots because people would cut back on buying meat, so they could afford to buy more tickets.
Carter runs a farm in Otago on 270ha of land catering to 2000 pigs and 550 cattle.
The former chairman of New Zealand Pork said the industry was fighting for the attention of local consumers more and more.
The attention of the consumer dollar was being divided on non-essential items which meant less was spent on food, he said.
Carter stood down as chairman last month, he told the Herald on Monday.
There was a number of things that influenced pork sales.
"There are triggers like school holidays where the pig industry comes under pressure people go out and eat more often, fast food gets a lift, traditional meals are consumed less often."
During a Lotto jackpot the industry ended up with excess pork.
"People seem to spend less on protein foods."
The difference between the pork industry and other industries is that they didn't have a seasonal production system, however there were seasonal consumer trends.
During those off times, after Easter and before Christmas, was when the industry lifted the amount of promotion it was doing in a bid to curb the trough in the season.
"We try to understand consumer trends and behavior to mitigate downsides for farmers.
"It's recognising short weeks and recognising it is a celebratory meat. It is for special occasions, the only protein that can be eaten for three meals."
The information on spending habits was taken from vendors' feedback nationwide letting the industry know what weeks were good and what was bad.
A Lotto jackpot would almost always result in a low sales week
"This is from feedback from vendors saying sales are up or down."
The industry was coming under hard times fighting for the attention of local consumers and the import pork market.
Currently 42 per cent of pork was produced in New Zealand and 58 per cent was imported.
46,000 tonnes of pork was produced a year and on average 23kg of pork was consumed per year.
"This time of the year is an off period for the pig industry, it goes flat. Consumption and demand comes up for Christmas."
Director of MEAT David White said during his time with Carter the bizarre connection of pork and Lotto was raised.
"Sometimes these declines would happen for one week, at others for two or sometimes three or more.
"It made little sense until someone made the connection between that and Lotto jackpotting,' White said.
A Countdown spokeswoman said sales could fluctuate for a number of reasons such as "price, the time of year, specials, seasons" so it was hard to say what impact Lotto had specifically on pork sales.
"Christmas is obviously the country's biggest ham season."
Foodstuffs and Lotteries New Zealand were also contacted on Monday night for comment.

Dream Catcher's Programme – Funded by Partner Development Fund
This is a parenting programme written by Hy Cobb, for parents with or without a learning disability who are experiencing challenging behaviours and sleep problems in their children with LD.
The course is run over 10 weeks at the MENCAP centre and has run twice this year, both courses were successful with parents reporting changes in their children's behaviours.
The course has been supported by staff members offering a crèche, and some teaching sessions. Also by 2 volunteers who have helped with the role play sessions.
The Sleep Clinic
Runs on a Thursday morning. This is for parents of children with a LD or a suspected LD who have sleep disorders. There are 2 Sleep Counsellors Zoe Dobson and Hy Cobb. A home assessment is made initially and follow-up clinic sessions to assess whether the tailored sleep programme is working for parent and child. We need more referrals to the service.
"A Family Advisor has also helped me access various grants for Louise so that she can have specific equipment that meets her needs which she wouldn't get without these grants."

Whether you love the idea of never pumping your own gas, or you would prefer to kick back and relax along the Jersey Shore, you will definitely not regret the decision to make this popular state your new home. However, due to the extreme weather that can lead to dangerous driving conditions, or simply the fact that you do not yet feel comfortable navigating the Turnpike, it is in your best interest to enlist the help of professionals before making the move. Our relocation specialists are standing by ready to match you with a team of movers best equipped to get you to your final destination of New Jersey.

Mover Requirements
There are a number of requirements you will want to look for in any professional mover, and the following list, although not all encompassing, is a good starting point.
Experience- The number of years in business is a good indicator of experience, but you will also want to make sure they have extensive familiarity with the locale to which you will be moving. Our movers have assisted people in New Jersey for years and they are thoroughly prepared to help you with any type of move you are requiring, whether it is just the belongings for a single person, or the entire contents of a large scale office building for those of you who are self-employed.
Professionalism- First impressions matter and also help you to see the true nature of the company you are considering. Be on the look-out for someone who treats you respectfully from the first point of contact to the last. Our relocation specialists will always listen to your needs and create a moving package best suited to your particular situation.
Reputation- It is important to obtain references from any company you contact. The best companies will be happy to provide you with them, and it should raise a red flag if you encounter hesitation or objections. Also, be sure to utilize online review websites, such as Yelp, or more formal rating systems, such as the Better Business Bureau to make sure the company you are selecting has a better than average reputation.
- Pro-Tip: Remember that people tend to remember and record negative experiences over positive ones, so unless there is a clear pattern of issues, you can take the rogue negative reviews with a grain of salt.
Finally, as when shopping for any specific service, go with your gut. Many unsavory companies will give you plenty of signs from the beginning that they are not to be trusted. Find someone who you feel comfortable with, because they will be the ones in charge of getting all of your prized possessions and valuables safely relocated into your new home state of New Jersey.

This story continues the series of complaint or murmuring stories that began immediately after the crossing of the sea in Exodus 15. Of particular interest here is the obvious similarity between this story and its counterpart in Exodus 17:1-7. The repetition provides insight into how the ancient Israelites told and retold their ancestral stories at different times and for different purposes. In Exodus 17, the story occurs even before the arrival at Sinai, showing the early development of Israel's rebellion and Moses' frustration. In Exodus, however, the issue is quickly resolved; water is provided, proving God's presence with them (which the people had doubted), and the place is named Meribah (Hebrew "quarrel") to commemorate the event. (Actually, in Exodus the place is given two names, Massah ["test"] and Meribah, which some commentators have seen as an indication of different sources or traditions behind the story there. Other early stories are also told, in part at least, to explain place names along the journey--for example, Marah ["bitter"] in Exodus 15:23.) As a story that continues this wilderness theme of rebellion, testing, and grace, the Exodus story has been seen as belonging to the early traditions of Israel's history writing (sometimes called the JE source). Numbers, however, uses the story for a different purpose. Here, the priestly writers have included Aaron as a leading character alongside Moses and use the story to indicate God's disfavor with Moses and Aaron that will prevent them from entering the land. (See "The sin of Moses and Aaron" in Theological Themes.) As this doublet shows, biblical writers will use the same story as the basis for different "sermons" in different generations.
Paul refers to this water from the rock as the "spiritual drink" provided to Israel in the wilderness. Since the rock provided life and proved the presence of God, Paul calls the rock "Christ" (1 Corinthians 10:4).

About LiasonAgent007
I know right.... I'm so frustrated right now...he played so freaking awesome that night. He has nothing to be ashamed of. Federer just got some lucky breaks in the end when it mattered. I'm still trying to get over it to be honest. I was really rooting for Andy to go all the way.
I n joy your post. Like you I am so sick and tired of all the complaints. Thanks for the positive spin on the soaps
Wow Andy Roddick played almost perfectly last night against Federer.... In retrospect this match kinda mirrored the Serena Williams/Justine Henin match the night before. Anyways Roddick has nothing to be ashamed about. He played Federer hard for a long time and just got some unlucky breaks. However that new coach of his is AWESOME. A year ago that match wouldn't have even been close. I firmly believe that Roddick can definitely beat Federer now anytime anyplace.
LiasonAgent007 started following dragonflies
Roddick vs Federer! Awesome match so far....God Roddick was SO CLOSE to winning that first set.
As soon as Serena lost the first set she was done for.... You could see just how tired she was emotionally from that first set. Even physically she looked sluggish at the beginning of the 2nd Set. Her mom's face spoke volumes as well to me too. Serena could have easily won that set if not for a few idiotic mistakes on her part. She gave a great performance though in that first set....the stuff of legends. I'm guessing Nadal is going to advance so I'm off to bed.
What Are You Listening To?
LiasonAgent007 replied to WTGH's topic in Music & MoviesThis is song makes me so emotional its scary... Pink - Who Knew Lyrics You took my hand You showed me how You promised me you'd be around Uh huh That's right I took your words And I believed In everything You said to me Yeah huh That's right If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them up Cause they're all wrong I know better Cause you said forever And ever Who knew Remember when we were such fools And so convinced and just too cool Oh no No no I wish I could touch you again I wish I could still call you friend I'd give anything When someone said count your blessings now For they're long gone I guess I just didn't know how I was all wrong They knew better Still you said forever And ever Who knew Yeah yeah I'll keep you locked in my head Until we meet again Until we Until we meet again And I won't forget you my friend What happened If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out Cause they're all wrong and That last kiss I'll cherish Until we meet again And time makes It harder I wish I could remember But I keep Your memory You visit me in my sleep My darling Who knew My darling My darling Who knew My darling I miss you My darling Who knew Who knew
I'm glad Andy advanced today but the way he advanced does bum me out a bit. As for how good looking the players are... Roddick: Hottest of them ALL Federer: Pretty Hot...Gotta love that arrogant smirk of his...lol. Sampras: Old School Hot....Loving that chest hair.... As for Roddick v Federer I'll be rooting for Roddick but if history is any indication then Federer will stick it out and defeat him. Thats why Roddick has to be on his A game....
Andy Roddick needs to do well in this tourney and I'm praying he shows up with his A game and he uses it ALL the way through rather than choking at the most critical point in the match. Andy Roddick could be #2 or even #1 if he FOCUSED and did the things he does best at a consistent rate. However assuming he doesn't pull thru for me theres always good old Roger Federer.

With the November 6th election less than a week away, candidates are making their final appearances before the votes are cast. In that spirit, Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), came out to show her support for Betsy Dirksen Londrigan in her race against Rodney Davis (R-13). Duckworth echoed Londrigan's concern over support for preexisting conditions. Londrigan's primary campaign issue has been ensuring continuing coverage for preexisting conditions.
The senator expanded on this point to highlight the issues that veterans face. A veteran herself, Duckworth explained that not every service member receives coverage at the VA. Many veterans choose or are forced to seek insurance coverage elsewhere.
Jim Dixon, president of the Illinois & Central Illinois Trades & Labor Council, also pointed out that not all injuries veterans receive in the line of duty are covered at the VA. Agent Orange, a defoliant used during the Vietnam War, has led to huge numbers of cancers and deaths among those who were exposed to it. However, it took many years for the government to acknowledged Agent Orange was harmful to people. Duckworth suggested that there may be other unrecognized issues from service in more recent wars that require veterans to seek healthcare outside of the VA.
You can watch Duckworth's and Londrigan's full remarks in the player.
To learn more about Londrigan and the other candidates in the 13th, check out our Campaign Headquarters page, or compare their interviews.
2018 Election
Langfelder remains confident in his Township merger question
Springfield is on its way to eliminating a unit of government. Capital Township, which is coterminous with the City of Springfield, is moving towards consolidation. Currently, Sangamon County is trying to get the township to merge with the county. But Springfield Mayor Jim Langfelder is pushing the effort for the township to be merged into the city.
The County's effort had strong momentum going for it before the election. Both the township board and the county have approved the merger. To further solidify their mandate, they put a non-binding question on the November 6th ballot. That question asked if the county and township should pursue a full merger. The effort passed with 75 percent support, or 31,800 votes.
Despite the progress the County's effort is making, Langfelder still thinks the city should take over the township. He remains confident that voters will support his ballot question. But that support will have to come in two parts. Because the Springfield City Council declined to endorse his question, Langfelder will need signatures to get on the April ballot at all, in addition to getting votes on Election Day.
To learn more about the competing proposals, you can compare Langfelder's case for the a merger with the city, with Don Gray and Tom Cavanagh's case for merging Capital Township with the county.
2018 Election
Republicans Davis and LaHood hold onto congressional seats
Both Congressmen who serve the Springfield area retained their seats last night. Darin LaHood (R-18) and Rodney Davis (R-13) will be going back to Washington DC. LaHood had a decisive victory with 67.5 percent of the vote against Democrat Junius Rodriguez who took 32.5 percent. Davis had a much closer race. He won out over Democrat Betsy Dirksen Londrigan by a margin of just 3,700 votes.
But Illinois Congressional races generally went towards the Democrats. The 6th District went to Sean Casten over Republican incumbent Peter Roskam. Lauren Underwood came out over Republican incumbent Randy Hultgren in the 14th. These races were part of the Democrats retaking of the US House of Representatives. Illinois now has 13 Democratic and 5 Republican Congressional Representatives.
Even in the races they won, Republicans have reasons to be concerned. LaHood received 57,000 fewer votes in his rematch against Rodriguez than he did in 2016. Rodriguez's total dropped just 3,000 votes. Davis faced a similar situation. Where the Democrats actually gained 5,000 votes in the 13th, Davis' total declined by 52,000.
While a win is a win, even these high points of last night's election should be worrying to the Illinois Republican Party.
2018 Election
Sales tax and township consolidation propositions pass
In addition to the candidates running for office, there were several questions on the ballot for voters in Sangamon County. One question was if Capital Township should be consolidated with Sangamon County. The other was if there should be a one percent sales tax to help schools pay for facility improvements.
Both questions passed. The township question passed handily with 75 percent of the vote. The sales tax was approved much more narrowly, 53 to 47 percent.
Because it was a non-binding question, the township vote will do nothing by itself. It will, however, strengthen the case for the county and township to consolidate.
The sales tax referendum was a binding question, and will go into effect July of 2019. It is expected to raise about $10 million for District 186, and another $10 million for other districts in Sangamon County.

How Much "Emotional Labor" Does Your Job Require?
I've heard that women are asked to smile more than men, and to calibrate their emotions more often than men because the corporate environment—and the world in general—is less forgiving of women's emotions than men's.
The requirement of calibrating emotions to keep others comfortable sometimes is referred to as "emotional labor," writes Gwen Moran in Fast Company: "Emotional labor in its original context meant 'surface acting,' or managing emotions to make people around you comfortable. So that may mean putting on a smile in a service job, no matter how you're feeling. It may mean watching tone in communication, or acting in ways that reinforce prescribed norms." As a consequence, women often take on "daily culture-building and housekeeping tasks."
My late mother, who was a vice president of a health system in Connecticut until 2002, told me there was an assumption that she would be the one to take minutes in executive meetings, rather than one of the male executives. For the sake of confidentiality, no executive assistants were invited to the meetings, so it fell to one of the executives to take minutes, and the idea that one of the men would pony up and take notes was unthinkable. If it wasn't my mother, then it likely would have been one of the other female vice presidents.
I still smile at how my former boss/current editor has me "initiate" conference calls like an executive assistant, and likes to have me read material I post to a planning Web page out loud like a game show hostess reading off a board of numbers or letters on a stage. Or like a magician's assistant.
Does any of this sound familiar to the women reading this (or the more perceptive/sensitive men)? The question is: When you nurture future executives, do you consciously think about, and address, the issue of emotional labor? And if you do want to address it, how do you do it?
One idea is to consider all of the tasks a work group requires, including the small tasks no one might think of, such as initiating conference calls, ordering lunch, taking minutes at meetings, or giving new employees tours of the office, and then emphasizing that these should be shared tasks, or tasks everyone in the work group has an equal chance of doing. For tasks no one wants to do, like taking notes in a meeting, employees simply could take turns.
The more difficult part of emotional labor is the calibration of emotions. You want to make sure in performance reviews, and in daily feedback, that women employees are held to the same standard as men in how they express and handle themselves. A common observation during the Christine Blasey Ford/Brett Kavanaugh hearings was that a woman who was alternately angry and tearful would be called hysterical and unhinged. Another observation I came across was that Blasey Ford, consciously, or not, seemed to carefully calibrate herself to be judged acceptable—serious, but not too serious, friendly, but not too friendly. Could this same difference in expectations for men and women in the way they express themselves be happening at some, if not most, companies?
Human Resources and Learning professionals, many of whom have backgrounds in psychology, could help by looking for patterns in performance reviews. How does a manager with both male and female employees describe and critique each? Are there patterns in which women employees are critiqued more for demeanor or "attitude" than men are? Are there other red flags that might indicate women employees are being held to a different, much more nitpicky standard of emotional calibration—emotional labor—than men?
Keeping everyone happy, or "keeping the peace," as my mother referred to it, shouldn't be the purview of any one employee or group of employees. Similarly, one employee or group shouldn't be more responsible than any other employee or group for making sure no one is offended. At least some of the time, "the offense" might be due more to whom it came from than what was said or done.
How does your company screen for subtle signs that male and female employees are being held to the same standards, not just in work but in how they express themselves and how they are received?

Putting an end to months of speculation, the next gen Xbox was finally revealed at Microsoft's big event in Seattle today. Contrary to rumors that floated throughout the internet over the past few weeks, the next Xbox is called Xbox One. Though the event was light on details at times, some of the console's confirmed specs are
- Blu-ray drive
- 802.11n Wireless with WiFi Direct
- 8 core CPU
- HDMI In/Out
Along with the console itself, Microsoft made Kinect a focal point for the Xbox One reveal as they showed how voice and gesture controls can be used while interacting with the new console. "Xbox, on" starts up the machine; "Xbox, watch TV" will start television functions. The Kinect will also allow gamers to take advantage of integrated Skype video conferencing on the Xbox One.
They also showed off the "Snap" multitasking function. Multitasking and instant switching between movies, TV shows, Internet and games is also a neat new addition to the Xbox One feature set. In addition, Microsoft announced that 15 exclusives will be launched within a year, out of which, 8 will be New IPs. In the games department, they showed off trailers for Call of Duty: Ghosts and Remedy's new game Quantum Break.
While no specific price or date was given, Microsoft's Don Mattrick did say that the Xbox One will launch "later this year."
