  • Using Love and Logic to Raise Resilient Kids – Dr
    Using Love and Logic to Raise Resilient Kids – Dr. Charles Fay with Dave Asprey – #832 Announcer: Bulletproof Radio, a state of high performance. Dave Asprey: You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. Today's going to be a fun show, because I get a lot of questions from The Upgrade Collective, which is my membership and mentorship group that you should check out. In fact, there's a bunch of Upgrade Collective members logged in live as I'm recording this podcast, able to answer questions or ask questions at the end of the show. I get a lot of questions about parenting and, "Dave, what do you do for parenting?" I think I'm a pretty good parent, but you know what? Every parent thinks they're a pretty good parent at least some of the time, even if they're not. Dave: How would I know if I'm good given my sample size is I had two parents? I'm going to compare myself to them. Everyone says I'm going to do better than my parents, which usually means you do exactly what your parents did even more or the exact opposite way your parents did even more. You guys have heard me talk about being vicurious, vaccine industry curious, in the middle, where I'm going to pay attention to all the different data sources, then make my own decision. It's hard to be a curious parent, because, well, you just haven't seen enough. Then what you do is you go to an expert who has seen a lot of parenting and studied it and say, "All right, well, what's going to work? What's not going to work?" Dave: Then you look for a believable, trustworthy expert.

  • 20-1020 Discussion on New Public Safety Building
    Open Work Session Discussion on New Public Safety Building October 20, 2020 Mr. John Psota, Acting County Executive, Sheriff Mike Lewis, and Mr. Nick Rice, Purchasing Agent, came before Council. Mr. Psota said, as they progress through the Public Safety Building project and its latest projected cost estimate of approximately $28 million, the Finance Department was recently tasked with analyzing the prospective impact this estimate would have on the County’s long-term debt forecast and its debt policy. He said, given COVID’s budgetary impact and the Maryland State Bureau of Revenue’s estimate uncertainties, they applied estimated variables in this analysis to include the following: an interest rate of 3.5 percent on their debt; an applied 5 percent reduction in general fund revenue for FY22 with no general fund revenue for the next four years; and a capital project list of important funding needs over the next five years. He said, to be clear, there is an identified need for this Public Safety Building project. He said the purpose of this presentation is to fulfill their responsibility to provide the prospective impact that the capital projects listed could have on their future debt management and their future borrowing capacity. He said, for this presentation, he would like to introduce Pam Oland. Mrs. Pam Oland, Director of Finance, then came before Council and passed out handouts. She said, as Mr. Psota stated, she was asked to look at the availability of debt service and, moving forward, if they were to do this project, as well as other projects listed in their CIP, or potentially coming up in the next CIP.

  • Worker Health and Safety During COVID-19
    Worker Health and Safety during COVID-19 Across the United States, the IRC provides community-based, linguistically- and culturally- responsive programs to 50,000 diverse, low-income individuals each year, including to those in refugee, immigrant, and migrant (RIM) communities. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic slowdown, more than 50 million Americans lost their jobs within a matter of weeks, with RIM communities being disproportionately impacted. Many RIM workers who were able to maintain their jobs continue to be employed in essential service and frontline positions, putting them at greater risk of being exposed to COVID-19. In addition to working in high-risk occupations, RIM communities have often been unable to access appropriate, in- language information on the vaccine and on workplace health and safety during the pandemic. The IRC has worked to assist RIM communities with overcoming these inequalities by providing culturally and linguistically accessible educational support to RIM workers both directly and through their employers. This guidebook shares information the IRC has learned through experiences collaborating with employers and RIM workers to promote workplace health and safety throughout the pandemic. This includes the process for and best practices of engaging employers to support their RIM employees in a culturally and linguistically accessible fashion to promote workplace health and safety during COVID-19. Engagement with employers can include: • Hosting trainings on worker health and safety and workers’ rights during COVID-19 for HR staff, supervisors, or employees themselves • The provision of culturally and linguistically accessible materials and resources related to COVID-19 to employers • Advocating for workplace health and safety considerations Workforce development professionals, community-based organizations (CBOs), RIM community advocates and others are encouraged to use the guidance in this guidebook to engage employers in support of COVID-19 health and safety measures and vaccine promotion.

  • Eldercare Locator Launches Holiday Campaign to Encourage Families to Start Conversations About Critical End-Of-Life Issues
    For Immediate Release Contact: Lisa Cohen, 310-395-2544 November 18, 2013 [email protected] Eldercare Locator Launches Holiday Campaign to Encourage Families to Start Conversations About Critical End-of-Life Issues Survey Finds a “Conversation Disconnect” as 90 percent of Americans Know They Should Have A Conversation About What They Want At The End Of Life, Yet Only 30 Percent Have Done So Washington, DC and Cambridge, Mass. – Eldercare Locator launched its 11th Annual Home for the Holidays campaign today to encourage families to take time this holiday season to discuss critical end-of-life issues with their loved ones. A national survey by The Conversation Project this fall found that 9 in 10 Americans want to discuss their loved ones’ and their own end-of-life care, but only approximately 3 in 10 have actually had these conversations. The campaign, which includes the release of a new guide that covers everything from how to initiate conversations to the right questions to ask about health, legal, financial and end-of-life issues, is available for download at www.n4a.org. The publication seeks to eliminate the “conversation disconnect” by providing the public with the topics, tools and information they need to discuss planning for the future and end-of-life issues during the holiday season when families spend extended time together. “This holiday season, we encourage families to spend time asking each other some basic questions about end-of-life goals,” said Kathy Greenlee, Administrator, Administration for Community Living and Assistant Secretary for Aging. “Starting the conversation tends to be the hardest part, but once that happens, all parties involved feel relief that these important issues are being addressed.” The new guide prepares families for the conversation, offering helpful tips and topics for consideration.

The blind cellist adds to it. And then, within a couple of minutes, an entire orchestra and chorus have assembled, and they’re all playing and singing the Ode to Joy.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION any businesspeople use the terms “sales” and “business Mdevelopment” interchangeably. !ey think the two phrases refer to the same process with the same potential results. Granted, the two words together—“business” and “development”—could vaguely refer to any method of creating business, but when people use them to mean “grow revenue quickly,” they’re really referring to sales. But sales is not developing the business; sales is solely about generating income. Business development (BD), on the other hand, is more strategic; it’s not just about the money to be earned. So the people who use the two terms synonymously are, plain and simply, wrong. While there is a place for both BD and sales within most companies, the skill set required, prospecting approach, deal structure, business process, and potential impact on the company are worlds apart. Use a typical sales approach to pursue a BD deal and I guarantee that, at best, you’ll get a crappy outcome, relative to what you thought this so-called powerhouse deal could do for your company. Conversely, take a BD xvii Brenner 7P.indd 17 10/24/13 4:10 PM THE SUMO ADVANTAGE tack with a sales deal and you’ll rarely ever close it e%ciently, because they are completely at odds with each other. It’s the wrong approach. On the one hand, sales is all about o#ering tangible goods and services available for purchase—items many companies have already identi"ed as something they need. Sales is about developing rev- enue for the company in the short term by "nding buyers for clearly de"ned products and services.

  • Ar Parent Code of Conduct
    AR PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT We have a much bigger goal here than just playing sports. Our desire is that this experience helps your child learn more about living for the glory of God (2 Thess. 1:12), conform more into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29), play without fear (2 Timothy 1:7) and build positive peer relationships (1 Thess. 5:11). Lessons will be learned in being a super star, sitting the bench, and everything in between. Your understanding of what we are trying to do to help your child learn is crucial in all of us having a great season. We need your partnership. As an important team member of the Austin Royals organization I will: Make sure my child arrives at practice and games on time because if they are habitually late they will have consequences. Arrival time is set by the coach. Pick up my child on time after practice. I understand that the coaches will not leave a player by themselves after practice and will wait for me to arrive. Be a role model for the players and parents by being supportive of all the children on the team and their efforts to become better players. Regardless of the outcome of a game, I will only speak positive things to my child and every child on the team. They are working hard and do not need my negative words to discourage them. I will also be careful of the tone I use in saying things to the children during games. Speak only positive things to other parents about other children.
