  The Hippocratic Oath is famously the oath of ethics made by doctors as part of their education. The most famous part of the oath is the line “First, do no harm”. This seems like a good place to start for any profession, even coaches. There are three areas that a coach could potentially harm their players.
  Technically – One will often hear coaches talking about ‘fixing’ their players. Technique is important in volleyball, but too often coaches will fixate on a particular version of a technique. They will attempt to force players to change perfectly acceptable techniques actually making the player worse. There is no reason to ‘fix’ something that isn’t broken because it doesn’t look quite right.
  Physically – Many coaches live by the mantra that every minute / hour / session is absolutely vital for the player. They will go on to insist that small injuries are ‘part of the game’ and playing on ‘a sign of toughness’. Missing one session today, is many times better than missing one week next month, or dropping out of a sport due to chronic injury.
  Psychologically – Coaches often get a free pass on all sorts of antisocial behavior because they are coaches. If it is abuse or bullying when done by a teacher or colleague, it is abuse or bullying when done by a coach. End of story.

  AYLA: Ahem! (Is this microphone on?) Ahem. As the eldest cat in the house, and as a Princess used to public ceremonies, I have been chosen taken it upon myself to announce that we were awarded the Addictive Blog Award by Nerissa
  We are THRILLED! As the first ta be awarded this awardie [What Marley? Oh, not first?] Ahem! As one of the FEW blogs [What NOW Marley? Oh, many?] Ahem!!! As a proud recipient of this wunnerful award, we thank Nerissa. And we thank Onespoiledcat fer giving it to Nerissa, and we thank the one who gave it to Onespoiled cat, and back and back to the ONE who started it, whoever that may be. Who, of course, surely had US in mind fer receiving it at this special point of time in the general course of Feline existence on the planet Catearth in the Milk galaxy in the Treat universe.
  Thank you all for coming. And [WHAT? MARLEY, IF YOU INNERUPT ME ONE MORE TIME... Oh, passing it on?] AHEM! Apparently, we have some administrative details to take care of. Like, "why we blog and how we started" and passing it along to others we find addictive. And since Marley has been SO HELPFUL, I will simply turn the podium over to him right now. TAKE IT, MARLEY!
  MARLEY: WHAT? Ack, I wasnt expecting that. Um, "why we blog an how it started?" I dont really know. Help!
  Second part first... In 2004, I found Max The Psychokitty's blog at work while looking up some cat stuff. I followed it at home for 2 years. When I retired in 2006, I noticed a button on his or another's blog (I found a few others at Max's blog) about "free blog, press here". Skeeter and LC had been reading Max's blog with me, and they wanted their own. I swallowed a couple of nervous breaths and *clicked*.
  It was a bit confusing at first, but I figured it out well enough to make a 1st post for them. It was Skeeter and LC's blog from the start.
  First part second... We blog because we met such great cat friends in the earliest days (and to today). We wanted to try doing the same. Skeeter and LC LOVED telling me about the day's adventures in a way that they hadn't before. Oh, they told me about them of course, we ALWAYS talked to each other. But it became in more detail. And eventually with pictures. When Skeeter and LC saw their pictures on the blog the first time, they were just SO PROUD.
  And there was an unexpected consequence of blogging. Because they were so proud of blogging, they wanted other kitties to see their blog. So we started visiting other kitty's blogs to see what they did on THEIR blogs. And then THEY started visiting US, and it kind of snowballed (um, if your name is Snowball, don't worry, there's no connection).
  Two years after the blog started, Skeeter had to leave for the Bridge, but Ayla had joined the group. A year after THAT, LC had to leave, and Iza joined right after. Then Marley came along another two years later.
  So the blog started because of Skeeter and LC who wanted to blog after seeing Max and others blogging, but is now Ayla, Iza, and Marley, who think blogging is just a part of life because they always have. I hope it will stay that way for many many years!
  I We hereby award this award to the following well-deserved addictive blogs in MY OUR humble opinions...

  Five hours by jet and Maui is in sight. Hawaiian Airlines arrives at 1 p.m. at Kahului Airport. An airy, open airport with a tropical feel greets the tourists. Some arrange a traditional lei greeting, and all feel the exotic vacation excitement. Those of us from drought stricken California feel instant humidity.
  Since this is not my first trip to this Island I look for changes. Starbucks, Costco, and Walmart are now here. Many make their first stop on Maui at Costco, and arrive at the hotel with a carload of goods. This a far cry from shopping on the Island when we arrived 25 years with our two kids.
  The Royal Lahaina Resort which is actually found north of Lahaina, is a perfect location. The hotel is on the Ka’anapali Beach and the ocean view from our tenth floor balcony is gorgeous.
  Maui lends itself to many photographic opportunities, so I select my camera gear carefully for this six-day vacation. I take my Nikon D7100 with two lenses: an all-purpose 18-200mm zoom and a 35mm f1.8 for low light situations. I plan to use my small Olympus mirror-less camera for less conspicuous photography. My Kipling bag, tricked out with a camera liner I made myself, and fits into a regular backpack with a tablet and a hoodie. My small Lowepro bag with 2 lenses also serves as my purse during travel time. My tablet allows me to check my images each night.
  
  The combination of ginger and almonds is delicious, and I especially love the marcona almonds with their salty and luscious flavor, slightly sweeter and softer than their cousins. These delicate cookies are a perfect sweet-savory treat at the end of a meal or an afternoon nibble.
  
  This exhibit celebrates the 25th anniversary of 401 Richmond, an arts and culture hub in downtown Toronto.
  The five connected buildings known as 401 Richmond once housed an immense factory that for 70 years made tin containers by the millions. But by the 1970’s industries were moving out of downtown Toronto, and the complex had fallen on hard times. There was a bid to tear it down and turn the site into a parking lot. Then in 1994 the complex was rescued and restoration began that turned it into Toronto’s best-known arts-and-culture hub, with some 800 people working here. Stories about the evolution of 401 Richmond – stories that stretch across the whole of the 20th century and into the 21st – are told in this Urbanspace Gallery exhibition.
  
  Prepare pie crust according to blind-baking instructions of recipe. Set aside. (It’s important to weigh down the pie crust while baking it by placing wax paper on top of the pie crust and add weights. You can buy weights just for this purpose, or use dry beans.)
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Place into 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, until coconut has begun to turn brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  Pour coconut milk and half & half into a liquid measuring cup. Add egg yolks and whisk together until well blended. Set aside.
  Add sugar and cornstarch to a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium low heat. Whisk egg and milk mixture together once more and then slowly begin to add the egg and milk mixture into saucepan containing the sugar and cornstarch, whisking together constantly. Bring custard mixture to a boil (still whisking). Once boiling, change to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and continue to stir constantly. Boil one minute while stirring.
  Remove from heat and add butter, coconut, coconut extract and salt, stir to combine. Spread custard into pie crust. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until set, at least an hour.
  Add sugar and heavy whipping cream to large bowl. Beat on high with an electric mixer just until stiff peaks form. Add the coconut extra and whisk just until combined.
  Spread whipped cream on top of coconut custard. Top with toasted coconut. Refrigerate until ready to serve (keep refrigerated). Sooooo delicious!

  Insurance Leader Launches ‘Worksite Academy’ to Support Employers with Long-Term Care Education | Massachusetts Newswire
  Home US National News Insurance Leader Launches ‘Worksite Academy’ to Support Employers with Long-Term Care Education
  KIRKLAND, Wash., April 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Today LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP) announces the formation of a new division called Worksite Academy to help solve a critical problem for employers: maintaining productivity with an aging workforce.
  “Not millions but billions; that’s what it costs employers in lost productivity, job turnover, and stress-related illnesses for employees coping with care-giving duties for an aging family member,” says Cameron Truesdell, LTCFP’s CEO. “Worksite Academy will help organizations of all types and sizes. We will partner with benefit brokers nationwide to help educate as many employers and employees as we can.”
  “The goal is to reduce stress and increase productivity,” he continues, “but a greater goal is improving the health of employees by addressing neglected long-term health care issues.”
  Worksite Academy is vitally needed today, according to Truesdell, because America’s aging workforce can’t out-compete foreign competition when workers are “plagued by worry about someone at home who needs care.” Too often, he says, employees lose focus when they obsess about an incapacitated loved one or have to spend time on the phone arranging for elder daycare. “It often gets worse,” he continues. “Many employees are taking leaves of absence or early retirement to care for someone at home.” Nationwide, productivity losses have extended into the billions, he estimates.
  The solution is long-term care education to prepare employees to take LTC needs in stride. This education – which Worksite Academy will deliver through benefits brokers – may lead some employees to consider long-term care insurance, and others to opt for the Government’s upcoming long-term care program (the CLASS Act). “All employees, regardless of the type of insurance that may be right for them, need to understand their LTC options,” Truesdell says.
  The Worksite Academy division will be led by Todd Grove, a founding partner of LTCFP, with offices in Portland, ME; and Ed Jette, former co-owner and co-founder of Empower Services, a long-term care worksite specialist. Jette maintains LTCFP offices in Boston, MA. Both men will have the title, National Director of Worksite Sales. In additional to working with employee benefit brokers, Grove and Jette will mentor long-term care insurance producers on the skills needed to implement LTC education programs rapidly in organizations across the country.
  “Todd and Ed are tackling a really big national concern,” says Truesdell. “According to a poll conducted by Prudential Financial, 74 percent of consumers ages 55 to 65 said they are concerned about needing some kind of long term care. That’s about three in every four of us!” LTCFP is a founding sponsor of the “3 in 4 Need More” campaign, now gearing up for national media exposure.
  Benefits brokers and LTC producers wishing to take advantage of the Academy may request more information at www.worksiteacademy.com . A free brochure is also available for download.
  With over 500 agents in all parts of the nation, LTCFP is one of America’s largest and most experienced long term care insurance agencies.

  Hey there, Blue Protocol friends! Would you like some slightly compressed action combat videos? No? Well too bad because that’s what the game’s Japanese Twitter account is serving up: fuzzy, pixely goodness.
  Visual complaints aside, the two preview videos in question do offer a good look at what auto-translate refers to as an Assault Attack and an Evasion Attack. The Assault Attack is, effectively, a ground smash attack for melee classes that has greater damage the longer a character falls, while the Evasion Attack is, as its name suggests, an attack that swiftly evades to an opponent’s side for follow-up strikes.
  As of right now, Blue Protocol is still in closed testing in Japan, with no word yet on when it will make its way westward. The game’s Twitter account has been a source of monthly teases up to this point (when the devs aren’t hosting informational livestreams) while the official site hasn’t had any new postings since November at this time. Still, the Twitter videos below could perhaps satiate your curiosity, or you could feed your eyes with some CBT player footage.

  The title may sound a little bit odd, but I was wondering if anything has ever been documented about functions that aren't periodic in the sense , but rather (if {p} represents an operator of p magnitude and }p{ reps its root inverse)
  I ask because I've come across a curious set of "lowered operator" trigonometric function; if 0 <= q < 1, ;
  they follow all the laws sin and cos follow only with lowered operators (using logarithmic semi operators); ie
  Pretty much any trigonometric identity you can think of these lowered operator trigonometric functions obey.
  They also have a logarithmic semi operator Taylor series very much the same as their sine and cosine counterparts.

  NIntegrate::slwcon: Numerical integration converging too slowly; suspect one of the following: singularity, value of the integration is 0, highly oscillatory integrand, or WorkingPrecision too small. >>
  $\begingroup$ confirmed w/9.0.1. Interestingly the result is in fact only good to 10^-7. (Changing the limits to anything else gets you 10^-14 accuracy.. ) $\endgroup$ – george2079 Oct 2 '14 at 19:41
  $\begingroup$ If you change the range of integration to {x, -r, 2r}, where r is a random real, then the problem persists, and if you include the option Exclusions -> 0 then the problem goes away. Interestingly, z = 0 is the point in the complex plane z = x + I y where Arg[f[z]] is singular, and it lies exactly 1/3 of the way along the {x, -r, 2r} range of integration. Just wondering ... $\endgroup$ – Stephen Luttrell Oct 2 '14 at 20:15
  $\begingroup$ I don't get this warning anymore in V11.3 (can't check earlier versions), even if I define f[x_?NumericQ] := Sqrt[17*x^2 + x^4] or use "SymbolicProcessing" -> 0. I guess the convergence rate criteria have been tweaked. $\endgroup$ – Michael E2 Jun 23 '18 at 22:50
  I think the moral is that when the integrand has a singularity (its derivative is discontinuous at x = 0 in this case) and NIntegrate does not detect, the user has to tell it explicitly. That the singularity occurs when 0 is exactly 1/3 the way from an endpoint is interesting (in fact it can be off by a little), and I have a guess about how that slows convergence.
  We can glimpse part of the problem by comparing Sqrt[17 x^2 + x^4] to an equivalent expression Abs[x] Sqrt[17 + x^2]. This last expression is not treated equivalently by NIntegrate. NIntegrate recognizes Abs as a piecewise function and divides the interval at 0, much as adding 0 to the domain above does. One can also turn off the symbolic processing by NIntegrate, in which case it evaluates the integral exactly as it does the OP's function.
  One might note that the results are exactly the same in both cases, and especially that when singularity handling is turned on (in the first case), the result is found much more precisely with far fewer function evaluations.
  The recursive subdivision carried out by NIntegrate divides the interval in half and resamples each half. If the error estimate in one half is too large, it will bisect it again. This continues until the error is acceptable or the MaxRecursion limit is reached. A number that is 1/3 the length of the interval from an endpoint is difficult to reach by this bisection process as it always stays 1/3 the length of the new subinterval from one of its endpoints. That cannot be the whole story, because it seems rare for a function to have this problem. Somehow the combination of the OP's particular function with the singularity being 1/3 the distance leads to the slow convergence of the numerical integration.
  We can see by comparing the estimate of the integral over the whole interval {-1, 2} and the interval broken up at 0, that there is tremendous difference in the value and error estimate. The recursive refinement used in the default "GlobalAdaptive" strategy will have a long way to go.
  After eight further subdivisions of the integral over {-1, 2}, we arrive at the result of NIntegrate. One can see from the plot above or from the steps step[i], i = 0, 1, ... 8, that the subinterval with the greatest error contains the singular point 0.
  The Gauss-Kronrod rule performs well on smooth functions and much is known about its error for such functions. Less is known about non-smooth functions, but in practice, it performs well on many of them. For some reason the Gauss-Kronrod rule does not perform well on this function when 0 lies 1/3 from an endpoint in the interval of integration.
  For the purposes of determining "slow convergence," the error is measured as a proportion of the value of the integral. While the relative error is persistently high for some domains of the form {-a, 2a} (as noticed on by Stephen Lutrell), it eventually stops complaining when the interval is large enough, for instance, when the interval is {-100, 200}.
  There a couple of interesting things to note. One I have mentioned is the importance of singularities and helping NIntegrate to find them when it cannot do so automatically. The other is related. It is the importance of "SymbolicProcessing" in the case of Abs[x]. It helps NIntegrate above, although turning it off it is often suggested as a way to improve NIntegrate. All in all, I would say the mystery of this problem lies more in the mathematics than in Mathematica. A detailed analysis of the function and rule would probably reveal why the error is so great, but I leave that to anyone who has the leisure for it.
  No more than Daniel Lichtblau, I don't know the why this is happening, but I have found four rational numbers in the range {-1, 3}, that produce the indicated message and for which small perturbations suppress the message.
  does not produce NIntegrate::slwcon: for any value. The behavior of Sqrt[17 x^2 + x^4 doesn't seem to be special in any way at these four points, so I am left puzzled.

  The last two out of focus fuzzy pictures of Freedomland (well at least this set of snapshots.) First up is a nice view from the Ore Buckets of the circle of Conestoga wagons, the Stage Coach, an Ore Bucket and in the distance is the Borden Farm. This is where you could meet Elsie and her calves.
  Next up is an image of the Indian Village with teepees in the background and war canoes in the foreground. A note on the back of the photograph states this was taken from the steam ship.
  Two more snapshots that are just out of focus featuring Freedomland. First up is a shot of their Stagecoach in a rather barren landscape filled with rocks and sage brush. I believe this photograph was taken from the Ore buckets, which was Freedomland's version of the Skyway.
  The second image is of the building that could be set on fire in Old Chicago. Note the burn marks on the building on the left hand side. The location was well placed allowing the water to run off into the Great Lakes of Freedomland.
  Note that the image of the Pikes Peak racer should have been posted on my 20th Century image blog, Corner Cafe Images. If you enjoyed that photograph, check it out.
  Let's take a trip to the New York City area to visit Freedomland. First up is an overhead view of Old Chicago with quite a crowd on this day. They may be waiting for the theatrical show of the burning of Old Chicago.
  A really badly focused image is this one of the steamship and a tugboat on the Great Lakes. I wish there was a focus button in Photoshop.
  Straying a bit from the Disneyland souvenirs is this post about interesting Paul Hartley illustrations for a Los Angeles Sheriffs booklet about the problem of youth drug use- Darkness On Your Doorstep. The booklet was published in 1963 and then reprinted in 1969. This is the 1969 reprint. Paul Hartley was the art director for the Mickey Mouse magazine in the 1950s, as well as the book Our Friend the Atom and several attraction posters. Some interesting quick illustrations to make points about drug use and abuse in Los Angeles. First up is the cover illustration.
  For more information and more illustration, check out Kevin Kidney's blog post. I have posted only the Paul Hartley illustrations, the book is filled with information about drugs and also some posed photographic images including one representing an LSD trip.
  Or as Major Pepperidge states, leftuglies. But,neither of these images are ugly, but not worthy of a post on their own. First up is a nice landscape photo of it's a small world as seen from the Peoplemover. The image shows the great Mary Blair designed facade for the show building.
  The second image is of a nice Frontier town street. I thought it was a small amusement park, but in reality it is the street scene from the Hotel Last Frontier in Las Vegas, Nevada. The image is a rare view showing the entire street as most images I have are of people posing in front of the cars and wagons. I do like the Ripleys sign on the left hand side and way in the back is a Conestoga Wagon with the Hotel Last Frontier sign on the canvas.
  Two nice views of the Matterhorn at Disneyland in 1970. First up is a view at the entrance of Tomorrowland with the Alpine Gardens in the foreground. There are some fun touches including the top of the head of one of the Dwarves, and characters on the right hand side. The juxtaposition of the palm trees with a snow covered mountain in the background is great.
  The next image shows one of the Skyway buckets entering the Matterhorn. I will always miss the Skyway and the wonderful views of Disneyland.
  Two great views of the South mural at the entrance to Tomorrowland. This mural features energy in it's many forms. The building that housed the mural was the Adventure Through Inner Space show building. This mural was replaced with a mural featuring StarSpeeders. The first image is from the interior of a Peoplemover car.
  The photographer liked the image of the sun and snapped this shot of the mural. Note the Mary Blair children playing in the sun.
  Two views of Tomorrowland from the Peoplemover. The first image is one of the lovely and oh so mid-Century Modern planters and fountain at the front entrance to Tomorrowland. A nice touch is the patterned background that is on the building. You can see a bit of Tomorrowland and another Peoplemover on the left hand side.
  The second image is a peek of Adventure Through Inner Space. The image shows the great graphic of a molecule along with the title for Miniaturization Control. You can see some of the work lights on the upper portion of the photograph.
  A new addition to my collection of Disneyland Magic Slates is this mid-1960s version from Adventureland. The colors are great and very tropical featuring the fauna of the jungle and a nice image of a Jungle Cruise launch. This is a slightly smaller version of the 1950s magic slate. It is missing the wooden "pencil" used to write on the slate.
  A nice portrait of the Global Van Lines truck sitting in front of the lockers on Main Street. This is one of my favorite Gurrmobiles (who am I kidding, I love them all...) It looks like the boy is carrying a tape recorder. I wonder if he was taping the various ride soundtracks?
  A group of characters at the front of Tomorrowland in October 1970. The characters are all seven dwarves, Snow White and Gus-gus and Jaq from Cinderella. The first snapshot features the characters marching in a line.
  The second image is of the group of characters interacting with guests and each other. The guests in the background seem a little perplexed that the mice from Cinderella are playing with Snow White.
  A cool and rare shot of the Jungle Book set of characters entering Disneyland from the East side. The image was taken late 1960s when the Jungle Book was newly released. Mowgli, Baloo and King Louie march onto stage while observed by guests and a tour guide.
  Let's take a closer look at the costumes, especially the body suit worn by Mowgli. It appears they are all singing and marching.
  And for all my fellow sign aficionado's, the sign for the Baby Station and Stroller Parking and in the background the First Aid sign.
  Two different snapshots from two different locations of families posing with a character. The first is marked for the location of Lookout Mountain in Golden, Colorado. Lookout Mountain is the home to Buffalo Bill's grave and there is a cool trading post and museum located at the top of the mountain. In 1955, there was a small Indian village where tourists could pose with an Indian Chief. Note the TV tower in the background as the mountain is home to the transmitting tower for local Denver TV stations.
  The second is from Disneyland and features a very skinny and scary looking Mickey Mouse. The photograph was taken in 1960 on a very cold day.
  Some of my favorite souvenirs are those featuring the Matterhorn attraction. This is a nice vinyl wallet with an interesting shield design. The design features three great rides, the Skyway, the Monorail and the Matterhorn. Although the wallet is used, the condition is still nice. I think a T-shirt featuring this design would be fantastic.
  One of my favorite styles of directional signs are the ones with a number of signs for all the attractions. These signs remind me of the TV show MASH with it's directional sign in the camp. This is a great sign featuring a listing of the many attractions in Frontierland. In the background is the Golden Horseshoe Saloon with its many signs. Unfortunately this side of the contact print is the dirtiest, but as a Facebook group loves to post pictures of Disneyland dirt, I post actual Disneyland dirt (from the paint shop.)
  A nice image of a lovely sign featuring the list of attractions that head out through the Rainbow Mountain Desert Route. Riding these attractions would have been a fun way to spend parts of my ticket book. In the background is the ticket booth for the Conestoga Wagons and Pack Mules.
  A similar ticket booth to yesterday's post of the ticket booth for Conestoga Wagons and Pack Mules is the Stage Coaches ticket booth. The ride was one of the highest cost ride at the time period needing a D ticket. (E tickets were not yet in existence.) Two fun details are the next window arrow sign and in the background a Stage coach (you can see a horse through the windows.) I also like the striped canvas on top of the porch.
  Another image from a contact print of various signs in Frontierland and Adventureland is this view of the ticket booth for the Conestoga Wagon and Pack Mule attractions. The wagons were a bargain only costing 25 cents or one B ticket with the Pack Mules cost doubling for adults. Note the dirt and large splotch of Disneyland sign paint on the print.
  A very early Disneyland souvenir is this glass ashtray with a graphic for the Disneyland Market House on the bottom. The ashtray is made out of clear glass and the design is just a paper label with green felt behind the label. Since Disneyland was not a guaranteed success, many of the early souvenirs were generic with just Disneyland on the item. The graphic is one I would expect to appear in Knott's Berry Farm souvenirs.
  The largest store in Frontierland in the 1950s was the Davy Crockett Arcade. Now the Pioneer Mercantile, the store carried all the Davy Crockett merchandise of the time period, along with other Western themed merchandise. There was also the BoneKraft store that made decorative items carved from bone. I like the themed lights for the sign and also Gaston's decorative antler touch. I know the image is dirty, but that is Disneyland sign shop dirt so I left it.
  The backside of the Frontierland Direction sign I posted yesterday is the sign directing guests to Adventureland and the Jungle Rivers of the World. The image features a nice look at the transition of building designs and theming of both Frontierland and Adventureland. Gaston was also here as noted by the use of antlers for decoration. A nice touch is the restrooms sign. Note the image has some yellow paint on it, which is vintage Disneyland sign paint so I did not remove it.
  At the juncture of Adventureland and Frontierland this sign directed guests towards Frontierland and the Frontiers of America. The photo also offers a neat peak at the various lights used to illuminate one of the Frontierland buildings.

  Admissions - Getting admitted to a treatment facility in an easy and straightforward process. Contact the admission specialist in a rehab center to assist you with the joining formalities.
  Intake - Once you complete all administrative processes, the rehab staff will check you and your belongings to make sure that you are not bringing any forbidden items into the facility. This is important for your safety and the safety of other patients at a rehab.
  Assessment - After intake, the clinical team at a rehab facility will run a thorough physical and mental examination on you to determine your health condition and treatment needs. Based on the results of their examination, the medical team at the rehab will create a custom treatment plan. This treatment plan will be subject to amendments from time to time, based on the progress you make in recovery.
  Detox and inpatient care - If you suffer from moderate to severe addiction, you may have to undergo a medical detox procedure to remove the toxic remains and drug/alcohol traces from your body. Medical detox can take from 7 - 10 days, after which you will undergo psychotherapy sessions, individual and group counseling, and support group sessions regularly.
  We are one of the few Hawaii rehab centers to offer the most rewarding treatment experience. Our dedicated staff team is available 24/7 to attend to patient needs and requirements.
  When an individual has both substance use disorder as well as a mental health disorder, dual diagnosis is the term used to refer to such a condition. It is also known as co-occurring disorders and is extremely common in individuals that abuse drugs. Some of the common co-occurring mental disorders along with alcohol/drug addiction include depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, etc.
  Dual diagnosis is common because individuals with a mental health history often turn to alcohol/prescription drugs to escape the symptoms of their mental condition. By self-medicating themselves to overcome pain and symptoms, these individuals gradually develop an addiction to drugs/alcohol. Unfortunately, self-medication can worsen the symptoms of underlying mental disorder and lead to fatal consequences.
  Automatic negative thoughts in individuals often become the root cause of depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. These are the thoughts that fuel the need to abuse drugs or alcohol. CBT helps patients overcome addiction by assisting them to eliminate their negative thoughts and insecurities that trigger the need to use drugs.
  Maui Recovery is one of the best Hawaii rehab centers for alcohol and drug addiction treatment. We follow a combination of psychotherapies, individual counseling, and medical detox to help patients overcome addiction and co-occurring mental disorders.

  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is proof of so many things. First, that the ruling classes think the laws of socialism apply to everyone but themselves. Second, that all you need is a lot of charisma and you can convince the masses of some of the most outlandish ideas known to man.
  What she lacks, though, is a true sense of reality. She has no idea what working people need or want.

  Remote project team coordinators often struggle to incorporate contractors. How do you encourage buy-in to short-term projects?
  There’s a lot of great career coaches available today but I would like to highlight and recommend one exceptional coach – Mike Johnson.
  I am in an accountability group with Mike. I have come to respect his professionalism, abilities to think outside the box, and his dedication to helping people. He is compassionate and yet will confront issues – key things for effective coaching in my opinion. Below, find how to connect with Mike and also find information about an opportunity coming up on October 20 (as of the date of this posting).

  David Nour on how to visually engage a capable yet distracted and quietly disillusioned remote team with agile alignment.
  Here’s wishing all our friends a Happy Thanksgiving this year! May your time be filled with peace and joy as you enjoy those you love.
  Opportunities to Network can be viewed much like the half full or half empty glass. While results do vary widely, the approach taken can have a huge impact on whether or not the take away is a success. There is a lot of confusion about what networking really is all about. There are a few professions that may not emphasize soft skills, but it’s a shrinking group. Networking is about soft skills.
  Add to the mix that there are now four generations of people still in the workforce and number five is entering now. Soft skills are needed to network well within a like generation to yourself, but when you mix it up a little, it becomes imperative that you are very aware. That won’t change as you move to most working environments, so consider networking with various generations to be time well spent. Here are some dos and don’ts that come to my mind.
  Do remember that first impressions matter. If you are unsure, ask your friends to practice networking with you and invite them tell it like it is with the way you look, the expression on your face, and how you act.
  Don’t get fake with it. Let your self improvement from your networking practice be a help, but don’t get so stressed about it that you come off like you are unsure of why you are there.
  Do some research on multiple generations in the work place. There’s lots of deep information available but you really only need to Google a few charts of the different values of various generations. It’s for your awareness, not to share at the event!
  Don’t evangelize on your generation compared to others! Under no circumstances let words come out of your mouth like, “I bet you are one of those Millennials that doesn’t want to work…” or “You are probably one of those Baby Boomers with a flip phone…” Just Don’t.
  Don’t be desperate, even if you are. This goes back to your practice sessions with friends. I think this is the hardest part for the job seeker who has been at it for a while… and has bills.
  Do spend some time assembling a shortlist of ways you might be able to contribute to the concerns of other people in other generations. This is for your mind only. It can help you engage in conversations.
  Do keep your business cards with you. After meaningful conversation, ask if you can connect with them on LinkedIn and share a card with them. It’s ok to ask if you can have their card… but be reasonable. And yes, business cards are still in – the app is great, but keep business cards with you.
  Don’t shove cards in peoples face like a speed date! It’s obnoxious! Don’t bring your resume to pass out, unless specifically asked to do so. Have those in car, just in case someone asks – but they probably will not. That’s for later, maybe.
  Do be a learner and look for opportunities to ask questions. Look to learn more about other people and interact like you would over a cup of coffee.
  Don’t become pressuring in the conversation. Don’t bring the 45 lb planner, leave that in the car or at home. And don’t ask the main speaker what he or she does for a living… speaking from experience – just avoid that. Pay attention to what’s going on.
  This isn’t an exhaustive list but just some of the things I’ve learned in my networking experiences. If I view networking as a necessary evil, I will in some way communicate that message and it won’t end well. However, I must say that I have come to really enjoy networking opportunities.
  Never pass up the opportunity to network even if the opportunity isn’t about what you want to do. There’s a lot to say about being seen. There are a host of professional networking groups to take advantage of. As my friend Chris Waymire has taught many times, don’t miss an opportunity to network, take a friend with you, and ditch them. You will both be glad you did.
  One size does not always fit all. I learned long ago that “one size fits all” baseball caps – don’t – namely – don’t fit me. I think other people look great in them but when I squeeze my head into one with great pain and agony, I only get a deep ring indent around my
  skull and a nice “marshmallow with a rubber band on one end” type of look. It’s a fat heads need not apply kind of thing.
  In life, education, processing of information, etc., categorizing and making assumptions is part of the fabric of human functioning. The greatest of human accomplishments depend on this basic process. However, it doesn’t always work in relationships with other people. One size does not fit all.
  I’m a firm believer that teams are stronger when creativity and trust are fostered. While it is true that team members should demonstrate trust and trustworthiness, it should be “doable” on the team. This becomes NOT doable when we measure motives instead of actions and categorize and assume without truly understanding a person’s motives. Don’t expect a one size fits all mentality to work.
  For example, one of the areas where I see this issue arise is in the workplace because it is now occupied by four identified generations. While these identifications are only general references, they do help highlight differences in the way of thinking of different age groups. We are all impacted by world events and influences in our upbringing and life experience. How work is done and how it is viewed has evolved tremendously the over the last 60 or 70 years. It’s an area ripe for categorizing and assumptions about people from one era or another, which means it’s a conflict generator. How things once were or perhaps “should be” easily can become one size fits all thinking that will lead to false assumptions and wrong categorization.
  We’ve been focusing on this issue at cfd Investments, Inc. where I serve as Project Manager. We’ve developed some activities to help us discuss this issue and we have sought out resources to educate our company on this topic. We want to avoid making assumptions about “young” or “old” that hinder the creation of trust, creativity, and productivity. I’ve seen our efforts to move away from a one size fits all mentality make a difference.
  Keep assumptions and categories where they belong, but use great care when it comes to people. Even though there are challenges, I don’t believe it’s ever a mistake to be vested in your team or your teammate’s success. When it comes to people, avoiding a one size fits all mentality is a win all the way around.
  I don’t want it to be so, because I am a seasoned professional. I want to be able to say that tech isn’t a problem – just get trained on it. But that’s the trouble… no one’s going to train you any more… you have to do that for yourself. No one owes you that anymore. “Come on board and we’ll train you” doesn’t exist anymore. Get over it!
  If I’m interviewing someone, I’m looking for aptitude. I don’t need to build a program to train someone, I need to walk them through a few screens and have them producing. I don’t really like this position because the tables are easily turned on me. But it’s where I find myself.
  So, how does this happen – the turning of the tables? It’s when I find myself across the table from an interviewer… and the skin crawls on my neck when I sense they will take one look at me and assume I can’t deal with tech. They are incorrect, but that doesn’t matter. It’s on me to cleverly prove otherwise. Is it right? I don’t think so. But do a few interviews or talk to a few recruiters when in midlife and you’ll figure it out quickly. Get ready for those canned automated rejection letters.
  There are solutions for this issue, but they are not easy. It takes a continual openness to redefining what work looks like. Need a shortcut? Good luck. Need a quick list so you can get back to the way things “used to be?” I don’t think you’ll find it. Want to know the best tech to get educated on? As long you are buying, you can learn a lot of different tech packages. Everyone and their uncles and aunts have websites, books, and seminars on such for purchase. But which one? You won’t know till you apply for a Job! And then it’s too late. Oh by the way, the best tech list changes all the time.
