A baker’s dozen: 13 new recruiting sites for 2016!
Pymetrics: As the home page says, Pymetrics wants you to ‘play games to find your best fit job’. I did – and it was kinda fun. Even more interesting was the fact that the results more or less matched up with my ‘actual self’. The big question for this matching site (as is often the case): how many candidates will spend an hour or more (as I did) playing games?
Lensa: Did I say games? Well, Lensa has you play a video game to find your next job. For us word-oriented types, this was a challenge. But maybe it works for millennials?
Honeypot: No games here. Honeypot follows a somewhat tried and true path set out by Hired: the tech candidate fills out a profile, someone at Honeypot reviews it, and then matches it to an employer’s opening. Employers pay when they hire someone. Not so sure about the name.
Lytmus: This assessment platform has three core tools: Phone Screen, where the employer watches the candidate do some actual coding; Qualify, which sound like coding tests; and Showcase – essentially an online career fair. Lytmus is aimed at tech folks (naturally!). I’ll be interested to see where it goes.
JobzLab: JobzLab calls itself “the first social referral market-network ecosystem”. In other words, it’s a referral network with bounties, social sharing, and a few other quirks. I’m not sure it’s “a radical social recruiting tool box” – but if enough engineers get on it, it might work.
Nudj: Maybe it’s me, but the name is a little iffy, don’t you think? Anyway, Nudj is a peer recommendation app – you load it on your mobile device, then start recommending your friends (and foes?) for jobs. It’s aimed at startups – but it wasn’t clear to me what the incentive was for users to refer their friends.
Clinch: This recruitment marketing platform from Ireland lets you building landing pages, track candidates, and distribute job ads to different sites. It has plenty of competition (think Smashfly, Entelo, etc.), but Matt Charney likes it – so who knows?
JobSuitors: Although still in beta, JobSuitors claims to be able to take your info and match you to the right job using big data. Sound familiar? Umm – yes. But perhaps they have the ‘secret sauce’. We’ll see.
Relode: Like Clinch, this is more of a hiring platform than a recruiting site – but since the lines are blurring, I thought I’d include it. Relode is a ‘visual hiring tool’ that includes job ad distribution, a referral system, and an ATS. Also includes a browser extension, which seems to be a ‘thing’ with several new launches.
TalentSky: TalentSky says they are “the world’s first professional skills network.” Hmm. At any rate, the platform lets candidates ‘tell their story’ via videos, documents, etc. – which employers then either use to contact them, or follow them. Nice explanatory videos, but it didn’t seem different from many other ‘networks’ out there.
Phenompeople: They call themselves ‘the world’s first Talent Relationship Marketing Platform’. Really? I don’t think so. Nonetheless, Phenompeople has a number of modules to create career sites, manage ad campaigns, do content marketing, and even enable mobile apply.
HourlyNerd: It’s another freelancer site, but HourlyNerd focuses on providing business consultants that can build business plans, research markets, provide valuations, and create pricing strategies. Hey, this sounds like the JobBoardDoctor!
Somewhere: Another twist on networking. Somewhere has you create a ‘visual CV’, participate in community discussions, and give up info about yourself. In the background, employers are branding themselves and hunting for new workers. An iffy name, but an interesting twist on existing sites like LinkedIn and GlassDoor.
Well, an interesting launch into the new year. I’m looking forward to seeing what else comes along!
Thanks for the list and thrilled to see we made it.
For the record, we have 3 easy steps…1. Create your Free Account 2. Search tech Job Openings 3. Refer Friends or Apply Directly 4. Receive a $ Bounty for Successful Referrals or if You Are Hired Ranging from $2,500-$10,000 Per Opening. That’s it!
You can share generous cash rewards with friends too…up to 3 in a referral chain.
We have created proprietary analytics as well that guarantee our hires up to 1 year. No one else does that. We believe in our proven copyrighted algorithm that finds untapped talent in hidden traits that no one else sees.
Great list, and thanks for including Lensa!
True, our game is not your job-hunt-as-usual, and we think it’s a challenge of the fun type.
Your reward is that you get to know your work archetype based on your soft skills that this game helps to determine. Plus, fitting job offers.
So play the game at lensa.com, learn more about yourself, and land a job you love.

According to analysts, the market is entering a consolidation phase after the recent run-up.
NEW DELHI: A below-normal monsoon forecast by private weather agency Skymet proved to be a big dampener for stock benchmarks on Wednesday, which surrendered the day's gains after scaling all-time highs.
According to Skymet, monsoon in 2019 is likely to be ‘below normal’ to the tune of 93 per cent of the long period average (LPA) of 887 mm for four months starting from June to September.
This sent the bulls hurtling downwards, wiping off the earlier gains, as the market ended in negative territory.
The Reserve Bank of India is all set to announce its policy review decision tomorrow.
"Tech parameters suggest the possibility of extended consolidation before the upmove resumes. We continue to believe the bias remains positive and suggest buying on dips. Meaningful support on the downside is seen at 11,200-11,300. Expect volatility to remain high in the near term," said Sahaj Agrawal, Kotak Securities.
Index heavyweights RIL and bank stocks emerged as the top drag on Dalal Street.
BSE barometer Sensex slipped 180 points, or 0.46 per cent, to settle at 38,877, while the broader Nifty hit 11,644, down 69 points, or 0.59 per cent.
Let's run through the market bulletin.
On the 30-issue BSE index, only 7 advanced while 23 declined. Maruti Suzuki took the centre-stage with a rise of 2.78 per cent and topped the leaderboard.
Things did not turn favourable for the biggest lender State Bank of India, which slipped 2.40 per cent, the worst hit. YES Bank, Bharti Airtel, L&T, Sun Pharma and M&M declined up to 2.30 per cent.
Broader markets missed the boat too as they saw heavy selling. The BSE Midcap index came down 0.77 per cent and BSE Smallcap 0.87 per cent.
Not a single sector on the BSE ended in the green, with oil & gas taking the maximum beating. Telecom, energy and capital goods were among other sectors that fell the most.
Of the Nifty stocks, 11 issues ended in the green and 39 in the red. Sectorally, even on the NSE, none flashed green.
India VIX, the gauge of fluctuations, spiked 3.58 per cent.
Skymet sees below-par monsoon due to climate change and carbon emissions. “Even the hint of El Nino should not be taken lightly. Severest droughts have taken place during moderate El Nino,” Skymet said.
This development did not sit well with market participants, pushing investors to the exit door.
Oil on the boil again?
Oil prices rose for the fourth day, nudging Brent towards a nearly five-month high of $70 a barrel. Support from OPEC-led supply cuts and US sanctions overshadowed a report showing an unexpected rise in US inventories, according to Reuters.
Brent futures gained 38 cents, or 0.55 per cent, to $69.75, which earlier reached $69.96 - the highest since November 12 when they last traded above $70.
"Market slid after touching a new high as initial forecast of below-normal monsoon by Skymet and rise in oil prices impacted sentiment. Investors are likely to be more vigilant, going forward, due to the upcoming general elections and have a bottom-up-approach considering the performance of fourth quarter results. Global market stayed positive due to signs of pick-up in Chinese economy and prospects of US-China trade deal."

This blog is intended to describe Alfresco Content Service's support for indexing and querying text. There is a little bit about text analysis, how you should and could integrate NLP and some stuff like entity extraction and disambiguation. Mostly, it's about the basics.
Alfresco has 3 data types related to text that can be used to define textual properties and content.
These properties can be single or multi-valued. Each property has a locale associated with the text in some way. For text properties, the locale is defined on the node (sys:locale). All text metadata properties on the node have this locale. Multi-lingual text is designed to store text in several locales. Each multi-lingual string value goes hand-in-hand with an explicit locale. Each content property also carries an explicit locale: this may differ from the node locale and therefore differ from the locale associated with text properties.
Text may be treated in many ways.
As the whole text; exactly as entered. This is good for text that forms an identifier: a non-numeric key, a product code, etc.. The text can be found as an exact match or based on a patten that would match the whole text. The match is case sensitive. This is almost the same as SQL = and LIKE but without any options to control collation.
As the bits for full text search. Text is broken up into words or tokenised. Each word is processed in a locale dependant way that may include: the removal of stop words, stemming, lemmatisation, adding synonyms, handling diacritics and other character folding; and many other alternatives. Text is found based on individual terms or phrases that (usually) go through the same processing.
As an identifier that is not case sensitive.
Each choice affects query, ordering and faceting behaviour. In many cases, text may have to be indexed in several ways to get the desired user experience at discovery time. The behaviour at query time could require any or all of the options described above. Ordering and faceting generally require the full text (an identifier) that ideally maps to a DocValue in the lucene index. Tokenised and multi-valued fields generally lead to ambiguous ordering and double counting for faceting. While there are some use cases for this, they are less common. Query time ordering of single valued properties that are indexed as an identifier is reliable and is locale sensitive. The localised ordering is done when processing the results. For single valued properties this is straight forward. For multi-lingual properties the locale value that best matches the sort locale can be used. This follows the same fall back sequence as Java localised property files.
In general, if a field is only tokenised, ordering is indeterminate. Faceting will consider all tokens as if the field were multi-valued. This is probably not what you want but produces some interesting results for shingles.
There is currently no index time locale expansion. Text is indexed in one locale.
Search Services generates tokens with a language specific prefixes held in a single field.
Configuration comes in two parts: the property definition in the data model and the configuration of Alfresco Search Services.
The property definition has two parts that affect indexing and query behaviour that are outlined in the documentation. Here is an example.
Currently, at index time, any given string may be indexed in one of four ways: tokenised using a single specific locale, as a case sensitive identifier, as a case sensitive identifier stored as a DocValue and/or tokenised in a single specific way regardless of locale.
If enabled is set to true then the property is indexed. The atomic element is historic and is no longer used. The facetable element, if present and set to true, means the value will be indexed "as is" for faceting using DocValues. If set to false it indicates the field will never be used for faceting.
true - the field will be tokenised in a locale specific for full text search. There is no identifier search. Ordering and faceting support will depend on the tokens generated.
If factetable is true and tokenised is false or both then DocValues are used in preference to the field value cache.
The SOLR shared.properties file can be used to over-ride some aspects of this behaviour. Properties can be forced to be indexed and queries as an identifier. The support for cross-language fixed tokenisation is only defined in this file. Cross language search can be enabled by property type or for a specific property. This is in addition to the index and query behaviour defined on the property in the data model.
Non text data types are much simpler. The tokenised element is ignored. Only the facetable element determines if DocValues are used.
SOLR 4 in Alfresco Content Services 5.2 has two query templates: vanilla and rerank. Alfresco Search Services 1.0/1.1 with SOLR 6 has only the rerank template. The two differ in the way text is handled by default.
For SOLR 4 the default behaviour was to support cross language search for all d:text, d:mltext and d:content fields. This resulted in considerable duplication in the index and more complex queries. The shared.properties file could be added to change this for scalability reasons. In Alfresco Search Services 1.0/1.1 the default behaviour is to offer cross language support only for cm:name. This has lead to a number of support issues when cross language search is lost for cm:title, cm:description and some cm:person attributes. These issues can be fixed by reverting to the default options for SOLR 4 and reindexing; adding selected field and type options for cross language search and reindexing; or adding explicit locale expansion in the configuration without reindexing. Resolving and reconsidering these defaults is part of the next Alfresco Search Service release.
The vanilla index template and the rerank templates differ in how phrase queries are handled. Using the vanilla template phrases are always treated as phrases. With the rerank template phrases are first executed as conjunction queries and then reordered based on the phrase matches. The rerank core configuration can include results that do not match the phrase but contain all the terms in the phrase in any order and any position. However, the documents that match the phrases will be at the top. This addition recall may cause issues for some customers but overall it scales and performs better.
Moving on to consider more advanced ideas. Extracting more meaning from text such as sentiment, entities, etc can be thought of as a processing step that generates more complex tokens. These tokens still have a position in the text and some value. Taking "Alfresco Software" as an example, it could generate "Alfresco" at position 1 and "Software" at position 2. It could also be thought of as "ORG:ALFRESCO_SOFTWARE_INC" at 1-2. The metadata extractor framework or behaviours in the repository can be used to provide integration points with external services such as Amazon Comprehend. This has been discussed else where.
Cross-locale and multi-lingual search issues are outlined well by Martin White in Searching for Information in the Tower of Babel. They are also covered in chapter 14 of Solr In Action.
Creating relationships between entities and embeddings and then using these for disambiguation, building ontologies, etc is beyond the scope of what we can consider here.
In the future Alfresco Search Service may support more indexing behaviour to be over-ridden as part of the SOLR configuration. It is possible, but not recommended, to make specific changes to tokenise any property in a custom way by adding a specific field entry to the schema.xml rather than relying on the dynamic field entries.
Any change to index configuration will (most likely) require a reindex. This is why some model changes may be ignore until you accept this impact.
Multi-valued fields lead to issues with ordering, multiple-counts for faceting and other oddities. For example, consider a multi-valued text field that contains values "one" and "two". A query that facets on this field but has a predicate that looks for the value "one" will still see the values "one" and "two" in the facet results.
That was a brief outline of the basic options for text indexing and how they affect index and query behaviour.

From your judgment seat I can feel the anger for my very being.
Fill me in on when you became such a big part of my life.
That I should bother with all your lies designed to bring me down.
Wrong again don't depend on any reaction again!
And I can see every lie you've ever told yourself.
You bleed me dry and I don't ask why but I'm left with the dust.
Don't get up, I was only leaving the room.

Reaching the hearts of children and families with the love and hope of Jesus Christ.
The Hope Restored Project is a community-based event that focuses on helping families with school-age children to have a comforting place to call home which in turn creates a more conducive learning environment.
The community of Creswell has come together each year on the third weekend of May to refurbish the houses of two or three families. These houses are chosen with the recommendation of the administration and teachers at Creslane Elementary School. Hope Restored began as the members of one church, but quickly grew to include many of the people from the community of Creswell. The high school sends many students to help. Contractors, tradesmen, artisans, craftsmen, designers and community members with the primary talent of energy and passion come together to work on the houses. The work begins early on Friday morning and is completed by 5:00 Sunday afternoon. Through this project, hope is offered to these families. The greatest blessing is for all of the hundreds of volunteers to work as one. It is truly a magnificent event.
This year will be our fourth year doing Hope Restored! The dates for Hope Restored 2019 are May 17 - 19.

Two new federal indictments spell out just how far-reaching the gang’s power extends, from California prison cells to nearly every neighborhood where Latino gangs are active.
To the jailers of California, the Mexican Mafia is known as the gang of gangs.
Two federal indictments unsealed May 23 in Los Angeles vividly affirm the immense power wielded by the gang of gangs in the jails and prisons of California.
The court documents allege members of the Mexican Mafia divided up control of the drug trade in nearly every jail and prison in the state, imposing “taxes” and meting out violent discipline to inmates who didn’t follow the gang’s rules.
One of the indictments goes as far as to characterize the gang’s activity as “an illegal government” inside what is the largest jail system in the country.
What’s more, the indictments assert what cops and crooks in Los Angeles have been saying for years, that the gang’s system of discipline and “taxation” extended far beyond the walls of the state’s prisons and into nearly every community in the Los Angeles area where Latino street gangs were active.
“Members of such gangs are expected to, and are proud to, carry out the orders of the Mexican Mafia member in control of their neighborhood or custody facility, because doing work for the Mexican Mafia increases the gang member’s status and reputation,” reads one of the unsealed indictments.
A sense of the far-reaching criminal enterprise in Southern California was evident from the array of local police and federal agents who participated in last week’s announcement that federal racketeering charges were being brought against Mexican Mafia members and associates.
There was David J. Downing, DEA special agent in charge of Los Angeles; Paul Delacourt, FBI assistant director in charge of Los Angeles; Nick Hanna, U.S. attorney; and officials from Los Angeles, including County Sheriff Jim McDonnell, City of Pomona Police Chief Michael Olivieri, and officials from Homeland Security Investigations and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Earlier that day, hundreds of police and federal agents had taken part in coordinated arrests, taking into custody 32 people who are charged in the indictments, according to the U.S. attorney’s office. An additional 35 people charged in the indictments were already in custody in state prisons or county jails. They are being housed in a federal jail, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office. Authorities said they are continuing to search for 16 people charged in the indictment who remain at large.
The two indictments, part of a three-year investigation, charge a total of 83 people as part of a criminal conspiracy that involved murder, kidnapping, robbery, extortion, drug trafficking, witness tampering, money laundering, and identity theft.
The Mexican Mafia is often referred to as La Eme, Spanish for the letter M, which is the 13th letter of the alphabet. Mrozek said that the Mexican Mafia’s scope and power are reflected in the fact that a number of gangs demonstrate allegiance to the group by adding a “13” to their names, including MS-13.
Altogether, the court filings in the case lay out an elaborate system in which gang members rely on trusted associates to carry out orders and manage the criminal enterprise.
Full members of the Mexican Mafia, known as carnales or “brothers,” are relatively few; the indictment estimates there are only about 140, most of whom are incarcerated in prisons or jails in California. To become a Mexican Mafia member requires establishing a reputation for “putting in work” for the gang, which, according to the indictment, means a demonstrated willingness to murder or assault gang enemies, provide financial assistance to gang members, and follow gang rules inside and outside of prison.
To exercise their power in prisons, they rely on subordinates, including trusted lieutenants known as shot-callers, and messengers, enforcers, smugglers, and money launderers.
The first indictment unsealed in Los Angeles alleges that a select few incarcerated members of the Mexican Mafia, led by 55-year-old Jose Landa-Rodriguez, divided up control of nearly every jail and prison in California, and functioned as “an illegal government” inside the L.A. County jail system, which houses around 15,000 inmates on a daily basis.
Landa-Rodriguez is accused of carrying out a host of criminal activities including authorizing murders, assaults, and the kidnapping and planned murder of the relative of a gang member who had defied him.
A second Mexican Mafia member, Luis Vega, 33, is charged with having ordered a murder and directed assaults against gang associates who showed disrespect or failed to follow Mexican Mafia rules. According to the indictment, Vega used secret handwritten messages, known as a “kites,” to order that a gang associate be stabbed 13 times as discipline for supposedly disrespecting Vega.
These are but a few of the hundreds of crimes alleged in the government’s case.
A second indictment targets Michael “Pomona Mike” Lerma, an alleged gang member accused of running criminal rackets with an iron fist in the city of Pomona.
The indictments go into details seemingly made for a TV prison drama. They explain how gang members during the period of the investigation allegedly used wives and girlfriends and other influential women, referred to as “secretaries,” as go-betweens to transmit orders regarding discipline and other sensitive information. One defendant named in the indictment is a lawyer accused of using his attorney-client privilege to convey messages and orders related to the gang’s criminal activity.
The court filings say that in the gang’s prison hierarchy, Latino inmates are divided into three categories: Sureños, a term for Latino gang members loyal to the Mexican Mafia; Paisas, Mexican nationals who have no gang affiliation; and Residents, who are of Latin American descent and, like Paisas, have no prior gang affiliation.
The name of the federal investigation, Operation “Dirty Thirds,” was taken from an alleged practice of the Mexican Mafia to collect a “thirds” tax on all drugs smuggled in L.A. County jails. According to the indictment, it meant that one-third of all illegal drugs smuggled into jails or prisons had to be “broken off” and given to the senior Mexican Mafia member or shot-caller in charge. Such was the extent of the gang’s power that if the Mexican Mafia member in charge decided to sell the “thirds-tax” portion of the drugs, other inmates were barred from selling drugs of their own until the member’s drugs were completely sold.
Quinones says the Mexican Mafia began somewhat modifying the way it operated about 10 years ago, ordering associates to keep a lower profile in the L.A. area—less violence, lower visibility—and focus instead on growing the lucrative income from drug-trafficking and identity theft.
“These gangs have become business entities more than what they were for years, which was defenders of turf, which terrified and blighted a whole region and was a huge problem for decades,” Quinones said.
He says a federal crackdown like the one announced last week shows that despite the gang’s lower profile on the streets, La Eme remains a powerful force, especially in Southern California.

Kentucky guard Jamal Murray works out in preparation for the 2016 NBA Draft in New York City.
An interview with Canadian shooting guard prospect Jamal Murray of the World Select Team at the 2015 Nike Hoop Summit.
Fairly quiet in the first two days, Jamal Murray came alive today, showcasing his extremely impressive skill-level that has him ranked as one of the top guard prospects in the 2016 high school class. Murray is clearly more comfortable at this stage with the ball in his hands, as he tends to get quiet and somewhat passive when he isn't the focal point of the action. Playing a heavy ball-handling role, Murray made some slick passes out of the pick and roll, a beautiful turnaround jumper in the post, and a series of gorgeous floaters from the free throw line area. He capped that off with an open 3-pointer and even hit a miracle half-court buzzer-beater to finish off the scrimmage, putting an exclamation point on what was a terrific all-around performance.
While not an exceptional athlete, Murray is extremely smooth and does a terrific job of playing at different speeds, relying more on his high skill-level and strong feel for the game. He shows the ability to make some creative passes, and is relatively active and competitive on defense, which helps considering he doesn't have tremendous length with his 6-7 wingspan and especially his 8-2 ½ standing reach, relatively average for either guard spot. Talking to Murray, he had absolutely zero interest in discussing the topic of which class he will end up in, instead preferring to thoughtfully talk about a variety of issues revolving around Canadian basketball, the path he's taking as somewhat of a trendsetter in his home country, and his own personal growth as a player. We will release that interview in the coming days.
-Jamal Murray possesses excellent size for a player who can play a bit of point guard. He's almost exactly the same size as Austin Rivers, who measured 6'5 in shoes with a 203-pound frame and a 6'7 wingspan coming out of Duke. His standing reach of 8-2 ½ is certainly on the small side, even if his overall dimensions are similar to those of Kirk Hinrich for example.
Highlights of 6-5 Canadian guard Jamal Murray from the 2015 Basketball Without Borders Global Camp in New York City during NBA All-Star Weekend.
Murray was arguably the top performer at the Camp, impressing with his improved playmaking ability and defense to go along with his outstanding scoring instincts and deep shooting range.
-Canadian swingmen Jamal Murray and Justin Jackson are two of the country's top rising talents. Murray made an impression at the 2013 Jordan Brand International game scoring 24 points before getting an invite to last year's Nike Hoop Summit. A scoring guard with a terrific jump shot, rumors continue to swirl that Murray will reclassify from the class of 2016 to the class of 2015 and play college basketball next season. Murray isn't a particularly impressive athlete or defender, but highly fluid guards who can put points on the board in bunches from the perimeter like him are very much en vogue these days, and Murray has the scoring instincts and smarts to compensate for his limitations.

We will begin our Fall Bible study session on Monday, September 8th, 2014. The study will run from September 8th – November 3rd, 2014.
Our study is Children of the Day, a study of 1 & 2 Thessalonians by Beth Moore. To order, click on the banner above.
I’ve never taken a Bible study, what is involved?
This study is prepared into 9 weeks of 5 lessons each week. To participate, you will need to purchase a member workbook, a bible, pen and paper. Also, you will need to carve out study time into your daily routine. You do not need to complete each lesson in a sitting. Most take between 30-45 minutes. If you need to break up the lesson into more manageable amounts like 10 minutes at a time, please do so.
On Mondays during this study, a summation will be given of that week’s lessons. For example, I will post a summation of Week 1 on Monday, September 15th.
On Wednesdays and Fridays of the study, I will post additional content such as scripture quotes, videos, articles or music as additions to the study.
I can’t wait to begin. How about you? I look forward to getting to know you as we study 1 & 2 Thessalonians together.
I am interested in doing the Bible study with you. I’ve done many of Beth Moore’s studies. How will I see Beth’s videos each week. I have not ordered a study book yet so I will have to catch up when I do. My name is Wanda Murray, my email is: asherzmimi@gmail.com I am looking forward to this. I had already seen this study on her website and was very interested in doing it. Thanks for doing it this way.
I’m so glad you’re going to join in! I will add you into our Facebook group. I’m not able to show Beth Moore’s full video due to copyright laws but what I can offer is the short videos that have been placed on Youtube. If you’d like to view the full video, you would have to purchase it personally from Lifeway. I hope that doesn’t deter you from participating in the study.
No already ordered the book. It’ll be here Wednesday. By the way, my grandchildren call me Mimi. It’s one thing that attracted me to your website. God will use anything available.
Your comment made me smile — Looking forward to studying with you!
Got my book today! Can’t wait to join y’all for this great study.
Super! I’ll add you in. I’m glad you’re joining us!

Alan Rosenstein MD, MBA is an educator and consultant in disruptive physician behavior. He welcomes contact by email.
I’m a physician. I also have an MBA. I still do a clinical practice in internal medicine a couple of days a week. I do a lot of consulting work around care management.
One of my other positions is being medical director for a company called Physician Wellness Services, which is in Minneapolis, although most of my career has been involved on getting physicians around best practice care.
You’ve done a lot of work with disruptive physician behavior. How is that defined or evidenced?
I got into this as vice president and medical director for the VHA West Coast. We would always look at how we could help the medical directors focus on the issues that they think are important. The usual span of issues are quality of care, cost of care, and physician relationships with the hospital.
I started noting that they were putting down disruptive behavior as one of their key issues. This really got exacerbated during the nursing shortage. That’s when I started the original survey on what is disruptive behavior? Are you witnessing it? Who’s doing it? Where is it occurring? That led to all the research about how significant an issue it is and then what we can do about it.
We describe disruptive behavior as any inappropriate behavior that can negatively impact patient care. That’s the simplest definition.
When you look at other professions, are physicians more likely to be disruptive, or it just more easily perceived because of the work environment they practice in?
It’s a combination of both. There are certain personality traits that lead people to go to medical school. It’s very competitive. They’re very ego-centric. During the medical school process, you’re taught very autocratic, independent, autonomous types of behavior. Physicians give orders. There is that personality that’s built in.
Healthcare is a very hierarchical system. Physicians are on top of the totem pole. They’ve usually had their free way in giving orders and not taking any responsibility for their actions, although their actions are really aimed at best patient care.
That in combination with the fact it’s a really stressful environment. In fact, if you look at where disruptive behaviors occur most frequently, it’s in either stressful areas — such as surgery, the emergency room, or OB — or in very stressful situations where the patient is having a negative outcome or the severity is increasing and they’re taking a turn for the worse and the physician needs to get involved. Sometimes they don’t do that in the most cordial manner.
In my experience , physicians who staff perceive as problematic and prone to explosive tempers are often respectful to their patients and even have great bedside manner.
I’m not sure they have great bedside manner with the patients. I think their intent is 100 percent, “I want to do the best for you, and in a crisis situation, I’m the one who knows best and I really need to take control.” That’s all appropriate, but many of these physicians are not good.
in our research and others, we’ve shown that three to five percent of physicians — and nurses, actually — are truly disruptive. This can have a significant impact on the organization. But what we also found is that 40 to 45 percent of them are ineffective communicators. If you go back to that medical school, you’re trained in technology, you’re trained in knowledge competency, but you’re not trained in personal skill development.
Now with healthcare being so complex, there’s many physicians in on a case, many other providers who are not physicians. The physician needs to better communicate and coordinate with them and also to present it effectively to the patient.
Is that behavior rewarded more readily for certain specialties, like cardiothoracic surgeons versus pediatricians?
Why do people act disruptively? First of all, many people act disruptively and they don’t even know they’re doing it because they don’t understand the downstream effect. A lot of the research has shown there’s a significant downstream effect where patient care is actually compromised.
They’re acting disruptively because they need to take control. They feel like they need to give the orders and get the best patient outcome. They’re doing it to try to provide best patient care, but they don’t realize what they’re doing or how it’s impacting, or most importantly, the long-term impact of what they’ve done.
Eventually it gets to the point where you antagonize a person so much … in the short term, they’ll hopefully do what you’re asking them to do, but moving further down after the crisis, they don’t want to communicate with you any more. These communication gaps lead to problems with the patient outcomes of care.
Does medical training encourage or at least support disruptive behavior? Do you see that changing as newer generations of practitioners emerge who have been trained more as a team member rather than a single player?
Yes, absolutely. What we’re finding right now in medical schools is that they’re beginning to realize how important personal skills, communication skills, and teamwork skills are.
Three things are happening. One is the MCAT, which is the Medical College Admission Test. They’re now posing more questions on the humanities, not just math and science. Two, as far as the people who are majoring, they used to major in chemistry or biology, now they’re looking for people who major in sociology and philosophy. Three, and most importantly, a lot of the more progressive medical schools are beginning to teach communication, collaboration, and personal skills during the freshman year of medical school to get away from this autocratic or independent behavior.
For physicians trained under that different model that no longer applies, it must be difficult when hospitals are acquiring practices, exercising more control in ACO-type arrangements, and mandating use of EHR systems that impose standardized care guidelines and require doctors to document themselves in ways that don’t benefit them. Does that feeling of loss of control elicit disruptive behavior?
Absolutely. One of the things that I talk about is why do people behave the way they do. I talk about the internal things. Age — those different values and attitudes based on your age and your generation. There are gender differences between men and women in how they view stress and how they handle stress. There are differences from culture and ethnicity, power, issues related to gender, issues related to dominance. Then there’s all the stuff from your life, upbringing, what you’ve been exposed to.
Those are the internal factors. Those can be addressed, maybe by sensitivity training or communication skills training.
The external events — one of them you hit on — is from healthcare reform and initiatives and the electronic medical record. There’s now more and more pressure on providers, not just physicians, to be able to demonstrate and document good value care based on what other people think, not necessarily what they think. More adherence to guidelines telling you what you can and you cannot do. Taking people away from the bedside, spending more and more time on fulfilling all the requirements of the documentation. That gets everybody very frustrated because they just want to practice good care.
One of the key concerns right now is the significant amount of stress, burnout, and frustration that’s hitting our physician workforce as well as others. A lot of them are trying to change jobs, get out of the profession, or retire early. That’s a real issue right now, because we are — if not currently, tomorrow — going to have a workforce shortage.
What tips would you have for CIOs and CMIOs on the most constructive way to deal with physicians, especially those who have a reputation of being disruptive or resistant?
On the global level, physicians needs to understand why you’re asking them to do certain things. You need to raise the business case of why reducing variation and improving efficiency is going to get you the best patient outcome. That’s what you really want in the end, whether it’s a quality issue, whether it’s a cost issue, or whether it’s a satisfaction issue. Our goal is to make the patients get the best value out of a healthcare interaction and no one, no matter where they’re coming from, is going to say that’s not an appropriate goal. So you need to set the business case.
The second thing is you need to talk about what protocols and what enhancements you have, either technological or care management, and explain to them why we’re doing this — the idea that you reduce variation, we’re trying to do best-practice care, this will give you the best practice outcome.
One of the key steps is that you need to sit down and talk to the physicians and find out what their resistance is based on what their barriers are. If you can potentially address some of those barriers, that’s something that the organization really needs to do.
The last piece is that besides the business case and the support, you want to provide ongoing training. When you implement or you go live, make sure that you have these work groups that are readily available to help the physician get through what they really need to get through.
Pushback against systems like CPOE seems to have lessened. Are people learning how to deal more constructively with physicians or are physicians just resigned that they have to do it?
A combination of both. People are being resigned. Remember, for physicians, it’s not just the inpatient record, it’s also the office record. With Meaningful Use and with billing, you need to get into the electronic, so there is a business reason for them. I think the technology is there.
Certainly with the newer physicians who were brought up on technology, this is not an issue. It’s mostly the physicians who have been in practice for 20 to 30 years. They’re very used to their ways of doing things and don’t understand why they need to change. With the growing need that everybody is going to have to be up and running on electronic medical records, the physicians are recognizing that this is something they really need to participate in.
The organizations do realize this, and as they implement these new medical records, they are very concerned about getting them on board and doing the appropriate training.
Part of it is the electronic medical record and part of it is the way the physicians behave. Physicians are a precious resource. I really do believe that all they really want to do is to do their job. Everything seems to get in the way, and some of those things are right.
Reducing variation, improving efficiency and productivity, and maximizing best patient outcomes is an absolute right thing to do. But I think organizations need to recognize that physicians are frustrated, they’re angry, they’re burned out, and they’re stressed. They need to spend more time in working with the physicians to prevent the inappropriate and truly disruptive behaviors, which can have a profound, negative impact on the organization.
A very interesting article. Keep up the good work, Dr. R.!

During the race last weekend at Dover, Monster Energy Cup Series points leader Kyle Busch was having difficulties with his in car track bar adjuster. Busch thought that failure of the device to engage would also cause difficulties for him in the race.
Beginning net racing season, those worries will no longer be an issue; NASCAR Senor Vice President of Competition Scott Miller announced that beginning with the 2019 racing season the drivers will no longer have the ability to adjust the car’s track bar within the car.
Originally introduced into the rules package in 2015, the in car track bar adjuster was intended to allow the drivers to adjust the handling of their cars while on the track making laps. With the change in the rules for next season, only the pit crews during a pit stop will be able to make any track bar adjustments to the cars.

We still don't have any news and no real idea where they are... just a lot of speculation and earnest prayers for their safety and that we will find them soon.
I was a bit quiet and reserved at work today (more than usual at least) because I was thinking about my family, thinking about other stressors, and working on the minutes from my meetings yesterday. I'm trying a new approach to my meeting minutes called "just get them over with". I finished the minutes for my first meeting today, and tomorrow I'll work on the minutes for the second meeting. Then I won't have to think about them for a loooong time (well until I start preparing for the next committee meeting and have to email them out for final review).
I think I started getting sick right around the A1A half marathon in February so we have officially passed the 30 day mark. Being sick for an entire month is exhausting (and annoying). I start a different medication regime tomorrow which will hopefully allow me to feel better in time for my group long run on Sunday.
What's your 2017 mileage total so far? Do you have a specific mileage goal for this year?
Have you ever done a running streak? If yes, for how long?
What's the longest streak (of any kind) that you've done? What was it for?
I was thinking about your family recently. ((Hugs)) I hope you get some answers soon and of course wish the best.
As for my stats, I am at 199 miles for the year so far. We're almost running twinsies LOL.
199 miles is awesome! Do you have a goal for the year or just trying to run as much as possible?
Officially it's 800 which puts me just ahead of schedule but secretly I am hoping for 1000. LOL. But in reality I want to just increase my base mileage and then maybe train for a marathon later this year so I figure it'll add up on its own without me having to worry too much.

Being able to play the electric guitar is fun and an amazing skill. In addition, many people find it extremely attractive. While being able to play is awesome, there are some songs that are absolutely amazing on the electric guitar. The top 10 of those songs are listed below!
The artist of this song is Kansas and it came out in 1976. The great thing about this song is it has a lot of repeating chords. While it will take some time to remember the order of the notes, having repeating chords is helpful because you don’t have to move your fingers constantly all over the place. In addition, it’s a little bit of a slower paced song so you don’t have to rush through. You can take your time and enjoy listening to yourself play the song.
This song came out in 1980 and is sang by Ozzy Osbourne. This song is one that’s going to be a little more difficult to learn. Not only does it incorporate several chords, but it’s also very fast paced. You need to be able to have the finger strength and speed to master this one. In addition, there’s a very real chance that you’re going to have sore and possibly bleeding fingers while learning.
Sang by Van Halen, this song came out in 1984. While this song has many reoccurring chords, it’s a little difficult to master because it’s very fast paced. You don’t have to move your hand too fast but you have to hit those reoccurring chords and, after time, that can really make your hand tired. That could lead to cramping and soreness. Make sure you take breaks in between practicing this song so you won’t overwork your hands and end up possibly injuring yourself.
This is a well known song by AC/DC that came out in 1990. The great thing about this song is that it’s mostly played on the B string. As you should know by now, this is the second string on the guitar and the first note you want to hit for this song is the 12th fret. In addition to being played mostly on the B string, a lot of the notes are reoccurring so it’s a great song to learn and shouldn’t be too extremely hard to master!
Oasis sings this song and it first came out in 1995. Wonderwall is one of those songs that is right in the middle of the spectrum. It isn’t overly hard but it also isn’t easy either. The good thing about playing this is that there are a lot of chords that reoccur and that makes it a little easier than some of the other songs on this list. In addition, not having to hit multiple different chords really helps reduce hand soreness, tiredness, and cramping.
This song goes all the way back to 1971 and is sang by the extremely well known band Led Zeppelin. In all honesty, this might be the easiest song to master on this entire list. It isn’t super fast paced and a lot of the chords are the same. This means you don’t have to worry about needing to move your hands super fast and all over your electric guitar. This song is one that is perfect for those that know how to play a few easy songs but want to move onto something a little more advanced.
Released in 1975, this hit is sang by Pink Floyd. This is another one of the easiest songs on the list. The main reason for this is because it basically has the same chords being played over and over. The only difference is that they are in different orders at different parts of the song. This is great because you can practice for longer periods without having to worry about your hands cramping up or your fingers getting all bloody. In addition, playing the same chords is much easier to memorize and master.
This well known Scorpions song came out in 1984. This song is a great one for those that want to master a more advanced song and be able to really rock out. The reason is that it’s very fast paced and there are several chords that you have to master. Not only that, but the chords are all over the place so you need to be able to move your hands quickly and hit every note right on. This is one of those songs that one mistake can throw the entire song off.
Guns N’ Roses is one of the most well known bands and they released this song in 1987. This song is very fast paced and a little bit on the complicated side. There are several different chords and you have to be quick and have that finger strength to hit every note correctly.
Most people know this song and the band that sang it, Twisted Sister. It was released in 1984. This song is one of the more complicated on the list. While it’s mostly played on D, A, and E, it’s very fast paced and more of a hard song. You have to have fast and strong fingers to master it!
Being able to play these songs is a huge accomplishment and you should feel extremely proud if you can learn them. Since they are a little more complicated than some other songs, it takes great determination and skill to be able to play them flawlessly. Remember, it’s perfectly fine to make mistakes and practice makes perfect!

I saw your comment about starting IVF (lupron shots) on SomedayMama’s blog and let me tell you her blog and another IVF blogger kept me sane and motivated. You can do this! But you need to stay positive it’s easier said than done I know but staying positive got me through all the shots and the pills. Other than tired and bloated were the only things I had to deal with and I know it could of been worse, but staying positive and excited was key to getting through all those shots. Good luck!
who was the other blogger that helped you?
I talked to my MIL today and I got to see her excitement and it made me so happy!
I am trying really hard to stay positive! Thank you for your kind words!

Two more studies published in the prominent Journal of the American Medical Association have raised questions about the safety of both Avandia and Actos, two popular diabetes medications.
Earlier this year, a combined analysis of more than 40 studies, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that Avandia, made by GlaxoSmithKline, doubled the risks of heart failure and raised the risks of heart attack by 42 percent.
This finding was confirmed by yet another combined analysis by researchers from Wake Forest University. This time they limited the analysis to four long-term studies. Their findings were almost identical, and Dr. Sonal Singh, co-author of the study, said the Food and Drug Administration should consider withdrawing Avandia from the market.
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a safety announcement to inform the public about new restrictions to the prescribing and use of rosiglitazone-containing medicines such as Avandia because of an increased risk of the drug causing heart attacks. These medicines to treat type II diabetes are also sold under the names Avandamet, and Avandaryl. Health care providers and patients must enroll in a special program in order to prescribe and receive these drugs.
A study by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic, found that Actos, a similar drug made by Takeda, actually lowered the risks of heart attacks, strokes, and death by about 20 percent but, like Avandia, also raised the risks of heart failure.
Additionally, according to an FDA Warning, those who take Actos for more than a year are 40 percent more likely to develop bladder cancer than those never exposed to Actos.

Far too often people with hearing difficulties do not look for hearing aids believing them to be too expensive or blaming others for mumbling or background noise for their failing hearing. Some people feel that hearing aids will make them look old however the signs of hearing loss are far more noticeable than a tiny hearing aid.
Hearing aids range from €500. If you have paid PRSI you may be entitled to a grant which would cover half this cost. Unlike spectacles hearing aids cannot restore a person to perfect hearing but they can restore you to normal social activity. Modern hearing aids not only amplify sound they also filter out unnecessary noise.
Hearing aids require upkeep and at Kenneally’s we are always available to clean and maintain the aids for people who may find it difficult to handle the tiny device.
The first step in getting a hearing aid is to have an audiogram. Sean will explain the limitations of your hearing and the potential for improvement.

Just as you need to calibrate a gauge in order to make accurate measurements, so a complete and ongoing program of machine calibration is a prerequisite to any quality program.
Primarily, set at the factory does not mean set in your shop as too many things can happen during shipment and installation and hoping a new machine will be in spec without calibration is wishful. Second, once set does not mean always set. Strange things can and do happen to machine tools: an errant shaft of sunlight heating up a lead screw, or a minor lubrication problem in the ways, can throw a very expensive machine all out of position. You need to recheck that machine and its environment on a regular basis to ensure its ability to produce good parts. The good news, though, is that with the advanced equipment and software available today, calibration is not the bear it used to be. Moreover, most important, an ongoing calibration program in your shop can pay hefty dividends.
The most obvious of these is better quality parts. This means fewer rejects, reduced scrap, and less rework. However, there are other, more subtle, benefits as well. One of these is in part and program editing. One of the “miracles” of the CNC revolution is supposedly the ability to program part routines and run them on different machines. This sounds good in theory, but in practice, it usually requires untold hours of programmer and operator time editing routines to accommodate machine peculiarities. Calibration minimizes this programming and editing time, so one program really can serve several machines. This can make a major difference in the ability of a shop to respond in a JIT environment.
Another often-overlooked benefit is the ability to document quality. This is valuable not only for vendor certifications programs, but also as a marketing tool to help sell your capability. Nevertheless, the most important benefit of an ongoing calibration program is the increased understanding you gain about your machine’s performance and your overall production environment. Calibration not only tells the good from the bad, it tells you how good your machines are, and how you can make them better, where they are best, and when you can expect them to give you trouble.
This knowledge can pay off in a number of ways. Scheduling, for example, knowing in a very precise way what your machines are capable of will not only help you optimize production, it can also help you do things you did not know you were capable. Sometimes machines have “sweet spots,” ranges in which they perform way beyond their stated accuracy specification. If you know where they are, you may be able to take very profitable advantage of them. Maintenance and troubleshooting are another. Machines usually do not break overnight. There are warning signs. Monitoring performance on a regular basis can put you in the driver’s seat. You will know when readjustments are necessary. You will be better able to schedule regular maintenance. In addition, you stand a better chance of forewarned of major problems and avoiding the inevitable, middle-of-a-rush job breakdown.
Finally, regular calibration can help you determine when a favorite old machine has, shall we say, passed its peak. In addition, when the time comes to replace it, the understanding you will have gained from ongoing calibration will make you a much wiser and better buyer. Moreover, help you prove it.

Some people enjoyed life at a casual pace, but he had spent too long letting life pass him by after Leena's death. Joining Starfleet had given him a reason to live, a reason to get up every morning. Counselor Dalziel had also helped a lot with continuing his sessions after the Academy, but it was the down time that proved to be the hardest for him.
Having too much time on his hands without anything for him to actually do had not been easy. Enjoying life had been something that he had denied himself the luxury of after Leena. Despite all of the help, he knew that there had still been a lot of work for him to do before being able to do this again.
Jayson listened in on the conversation about the anomaly. He had felt actual pride in his shot to Ya'Han while hoping that she would take it as it had been meant. The OPS officer respected the woman at the head of the Sec/Tac department, and hoped that she considered him a good enough friend to accept such jokes.
When the Captain called for everyone to resume the tasks that they had been given, Jayson actually sank further into the chair. Three weeks of this was going to kill him, or at the very least force him to seek out the Counselor for a few extra sessions.
He had been so lost in his own misery that Jayson missed the part where Shar'El asked about someone named Uxtar. What followed from the ExO though was not missed.
Jayson's eye went wide open.
"Well, there goes our vacation."
The words had been said while he pushed himself out of the chair. He doubted that he had come across as disappointed, but now at certainly not been the time to hide feelings. Gathering Intel or figuring out if Ya'Han's sister had actually been on board would have to wait. Right now dealing with whoever this bomber was had become the one and only priority for everyone.
"I'm on my way. Where do you need me to be?"
The MASQUERADE DREAMS was a huge ship, so running out without an actual plan had not been the smartest option. So Jayson found himself waiting for a reply, his eyes glued to the still closed door to his room.
Half a ship's length and more than two full decks below is current location. There had been no way for him to cover that kind of distance in what little they had. So the OPS officer went with the only option available to him.
"ANI, can you do a site-to-site transport and get me near Commander Shar'El?"
He straightened his posture and waited for the transporter to do its magic. Given the situation though, every split second seemed like an eternity as the OPS officer waited for the transport sequence to start.
Even getting to that part of the ship faster had not guaranteed that he would be able to help, but being on his feet actually doing something had been a lot better than being in his room hoping that all went well.

The nanoEM system is the first electron microscopy (EM) coating tool with a full research-grade feature set. The single source model comes with one magnetron sputtering source. For deposition of different materials (e.g., gold and carbon), targets can be changed with ease between coating runs. As standard, the unit is shipped with one sample stage for SEM stubs, TEM grids or wafers (specify with order).
The base package is a fully functional tool, but various options allow for customisation to specific requirements.
Chamber viewport - fits the coating chamber with a glass viewport for process monitoring.
Dry backing pump - upgrades the nanoEM backing pump to an oil-free model (Edwards nXDS6i).
Turbomolecular pump removal - removes the turbomolecular pump from the pumping system, and downgrades the pressure gauge to a pirani model.
Source shutter - equips the tool with a pneumatic shutter located just above the magnetron sputtering source for protection of substrate while source is being set up.
Plasma glow electrode - an electrode is fitted in close proximity to the substrate stage allowing for sample etching prior to deposition. Note that this is not compatible with stage tilt.
Fast vent - for high throughput use, this module allows chamber venting in just a few minutes.
Substrate rotation - a rotation motor allows for rotation of substrates for high-uniformity coating.
Automatic pressure control - repeatability of magnetron sputtering results depends on chamber pressure; this option allows the system to control pressure to ±0.1 mTorr.
Quartz crystal rate/thickness sensor - fitting the system with a quartz crystal sensor head enables monitoring of coating rates and thicknesses for calibration purposes.
Spare TEM grid stage - the system is provided with an additional stage for SEM stubs.
Spare SEM stub stage - the system is provided with an additional stage for TEM grids.
Spare 2"/4" wafer stage - the system is provided with an additional stage for 2"/4" wafers.
Stage tilt - allows for tilting of the substrate stage for inclined coating.

Help us fill in this page with the macros that you use.
Macros allow the insertion of system features or functionality into normal wiki pages. There are numerous other macros listed on the MoinMoin Wiki HelpOnMacros page1, but not all of them work here. A number of them look like CPU hogs too. We might try to test out and selectively transfer the useful and light-load ones to this page.
[[Address("valid_address")]] — echoes the text valid_address, creates a Map button at the top of the page which opens a Google map to valid_address, and adds it to the Maps of nearby locations. Also outputs a link to the nearest bus stops, courtesy of RGRTA.
[[Address("valid_address","description")]] — instead of valid_address, it will echo description, but will otherwise work the same as above.
[[Address("valid_address","latitude.decimal","longitude.decimal"]] — overrides the Google geocoder and uses the latitude and longitude you provide instead. For example, [[Address("1 Garbanzo Place, Not Yet GeocodedVille, NY", "43.1234", "-74.4321")]].
The Address macro is nonfunctional as of 2013/09/10 due to Google no longer supporting the old API version it uses: https://github.com/rtucker/sycamore/issues/16.
[[Anchor(anchorname)]] — defines an anchor. Use [#anchorname Link Text] to jump to said anchor. Note that everything is case sensitive and that the anchor is defined with double brackets [] but called with single  brackets.
[[Comments]] — comments box that just says "Comments"
[[Comments(Leave your comments here)]] — makes a comments box, but with text other than "Comments", like at the bottom of this page.
[[Flickr(image id, thumbnail, noborder, left/right, medium, "caption")]] — like Image, but for Flickr. image id is the last big number in the URL.
[[Include(Stub)]] to mark the page as a Stub with a link to edit the page.
[[Include(NPOV)]] to mark the page as possibly containing biased content.
[[Include(Troll)]] to mark the page as possibly containing trolling.
[[MailTo(somebody AT yahoo DOT com)]] — obscures an email address (sort of) from people who aren't logged in (like those harvesting email addresses for spam), looks like <somebody AT yahoo DOT com> to you. See MoinMoin's page on MailTo.
[[PageCount]] How many pages are in the wiki? 15956; that's how many.
[[RandomQuote(pagename)]] — also works for random images. The page that this references should just be a list of whatever you want to randomly select. See Random Thumbnails for an example.
[[stop]] — creates a box to link it to a "/Talk" page. Used when there is a big dispute among users on the content of a page.
[[TableOfContents]] creates a table of contents based on the = title = headers on the page. It indents based on the number of equal signs.
[[nbsp]] — adds a single blank space.

I am always looking for new things to try, including snacks. I have been trying to cut out the junk food as much as possible in my life recently, so snacking has been hard for me. I try to find products that don’t have any artificial colors or flavors. When I looked at a box of GOOD THiNS, I knew I had found the right snack for me!
By checking out the GOOD THiNS box (this one is the POTATO one, which is the original), you can easily find out more about the product. In “the goods” section, it notes that these have no artificial colors, artificial flavors, cholesterol, partially hydrogenated oils, or high fructose corn syrup. This is VERY GOOD for me and already has me wanting to eat them.
Biting into my first GOOD THiNS, I am sold. These little morsels are delicious on their own, but I can already imagine the dips that I can set out with these if I am ever having a party. They’re like chips, only better. I love that I can eat these without having to feel guilty about what I am putting in my body. They are perfect for a little snack on the go or even an appetizer at a dinner party. I seriously cannot stop eating them.
Check how others felt about GOOD THiNS in this video below!
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by GOOD THiNS through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about GOOD THiNS, all opinions are my own.

5 STARS…We had a great time and our guide provided such a wonderful day filled with everything we could've ever hoped for to get from our trip to the Grand Canyon. He was incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep appreciation for the country's history. He made each destination really come to life. We wanted some history, architecture, art, local flavor and fun, and this tour provided all of this and more. You really must go out onto the skywalk when you go on this tour…amazing scenes. We give this tour a five star rating because we cannot give it a six.
What an amazing trip it was so worth doing, everything was more than our expectations! It was well organised and we were picked up on time. The views were magnificent and our trip on the Colarado river was amazing. Although scarey the West Rim sky walk needs to be done to appreciate the wonderful views!
This grand canyon west rime tour was awesome. Thank you Kevin for being such a good driver and for being real entertaining. I had been here many years ago as a boy and this time I took my own boys. Enough said that they really enjoyed the sky walk.
My husband and I visited Las Vegas as it had been on our bucket list and we saved for a long time before travelling. We booked this tour as an option to see the highlights of the Grand Canyon. We had an excellent guide and I recommend this as a nice option to get away from the city for a day. Thank you very much.
Five stars for this tour. The tour included an expert guide who was very friendly. This tour allowed us to see the most interesting sights in a day.
This was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday. A trip to Las Vegas and this tour. We travelled from Australia and had the most amazing time in the USA.
OUR GUIDE GAVE US A VERY DETAILED HISTORY OF THE PLACES WE VISITED.
Our tour guide was intelligent and accommodated our schedule perfectly. He spoke extensively of the history of the sights we saw. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We had a great day stopping at different places. Our driver was friendly, funny and a real cool guy. I was a bit worried about the sky walk as I am afraid of heights, but it was good, though you cannot take any photographs. Will recommend.
The day started early, 5:40am shuttle pickup at our hotel. Stopped along the way to pickup others. Arrived at greyline to get a big bus to go to Grand Canyon, West Rim and Skywalk. Very organized and you can buy food and beverages for the trip. Out driver, Thomas was the best! He kept us safe, informed and entertained, he has a wonderful personality and glad we had him. It's a long trip, but he made it fun. The Grand Canyon is truly breathtaking and the Skywalk is a must! It's not as scary as when I saw on video.
Thank you. We will always cherish the memories of not only the tour but also the manner in which the bookings were done. It will be a privilege to recommend you to all our friends.
Our driver was good and it was worth the trip to see the hoover dam and the grand caynon. we had a go on the zip line and I really recommend it.
We were picked up promptly and everything went well from start to finish. The Grand Canyon is such a beautiful place to visit and the Hoover Dam is an amazing construction.
A great day out, plenty of time to explore at our own pace.
I really liked this tour and our tour guide was excellent. The Grand Canyon is amazing and the views are great. We also took the helicopter ride and the boat ride. A very professionally organised tour.
This company is extremely professional and their customer service is faultless. I researched many different tour companies before finally choosing this tour. Our tour guide was excellent. I definitely recommend this tour company for anyone, I had an excellent time.
Our guide was so friendly right from the start. Very knowledgeable about the area and the history. He answered any questions we had and was helpful with anything we needed. All around a great experience!
