What Does Your Personal Trainer Say About You!
When choosing a Personal Trainer (PT), are you supposed to naturally gravitate towards one, or do you wait for a recommendation? The simple truth is that the type of trainer that you have, says a lot about you, and what you are looking to achieve from your personal training sessions.
Let’s look at how to choose a PT and then dive into the depths of the ‘different types of PTs’ that are out there.
If you are a PT reading this, then take note, as knowingly or not, your attitude in the gym may determine what type of PT you are and how others see you, if you want to be a leader in the health and fitness industry, lead!
Decide what it is you want out of personal training, in other words, set yourself a goal.
Check out PTs in your area, and find the most relevant trainer for you.
Drop the PT a message or have a chat, make sure you vibe.
Ask how their training is going; good trainers will always have their own structured training regime in place.
Use your doughnut (your gut instinct); you’ll usually know whether a Personal Trainer is right for you!
Be put off by cost. You get what you pay for, and you’ll only pay through slower gains and potential injury occurring from poorly prescribed exercise if using a non-qualified PT.
Rely on recommendations only, you’re investing in your body, do your research.
What Are the Main Types of Personal Trainers?
This Personal Trainer looks good, simple.
The hard truth is that looks do matter, a Personal Trainer is a role model. A Personal Trainer is a synapse between you transforming into more physically better shape. This is a hefty responsibility, so the PT must lead by example! The example your PT sets is contagious, and the play model will harness the fact that their working environment is within a gym. The play model understands there literally is no excuse for them to not be in shape. They know that even if they’re injured, there are least another 500 muscles they could be working.
When looking for a Personal Trainer, just choose the play model! I can’t stress how important it is to pick a PT that is in shape! You wouldn’t go to an airfield and board a plane with a pilot who never flew a plane, just because he’s qualified, would you? And if you did, you wouldn’t expect to come out of that situation in very good shape right? It is therefore no different going to a gym and training with an out of shape PT.
The baller has some pretty mad skills! This is the one personal trainer you must use if you’re looking to scratch that ‘backflip’ or ‘scorpion’ itch you’ve been carrying around. Vibe with this folk legend outlaw of PT’s, and you’re in their tribe! The baller will dig out to make sure that you’re building your sessions progressively and effectively towards that niche move you’ve always wanted to pull off. PT sessions won’t end on the gym floor either; chances are that they’ll extend right through to out of hours! Sessions will be playful sure, and they’ll also be competitive, fun and results driven. Check the Personal Trainer’s skillset before signing up and make sure they have that move you need, nailed down to a T’, then book them quickly!
This trainer knows a lot of things, and they will use their knowledge to your advantage. They are calm in the face of a 1:1 session, and shine when being faced with technical questions. The wizard spends their lunchtimes reading articles and blog posts, and they even contribute to online forums. Wizards network amongst other wizards within the fitness industry, forever expanding their already huge knowledge bank. The wizard will no doubt be booked on to a self-development course at this present moment in time, such as strength and conditioning, mindfulness, advanced nutrition or some form of ETM (exercise to music) class. The wizards do like to think of themselves as being a step ahead and will probably use apps to organise their diary. The wizard has a well-structured routine in place for each client.
The wizard is likely to be a great Personal Trainer; they are well informed and eager to pass on their knowledge to you, their client. They will drip feed information during your personal training journey as and when they feel you are ready, and they may even refer to this as being like a baked potato, ‘releasing their energy slowly. The wizards personality might appear quite dry and serious, but this is a good thing. The wizard knows when to have fun and when to train seriously, so just think, when the wizard is stood there watching over you, they are quietly checking your form, working out how to fine-tune your training, and develop you further.
In the first instance, the RBF will no doubt do one of two things, either avoid eye contact or stare straight through you. Don’t let this witchcraft fool you though, inside they’re speed dancing their way through the latest clubland mix. The RBF is a busy trainer, and probably won’t have time for small talk as if they’re not with a client; they’re either planning a session or doing their own.
If you can get past the initial ‘hello’, then Hurrah! You’ll find richness in this one. As the client/trainer relationship develops, the RBF will make sure you are well catered for, giving you help and advice whenever needed and will ensure you always know that what you’re doing is safe and prescriptive.
Want steroids? This is your trainer! Jokes! mebbee.. With traps that look like Achilles love buns, this trainer spends their time super-setting shrugs, with even more shrugs.
Ok, so there are plenty of serious bodybuilders out there, some who are natural (do not use performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids) and some who are not (do use performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids).
If operation massive is your goal, choose the behemoff! This Personal Trainer is whom you should seek out if you want to compete in any form of bodybuilding or bikini contest, as they have usually learnt first hand what is required regarding training and nutrition. The behomoff knows that bodybuilding is brutal, that conditioning the mind is key to standing any chance of success. Pick this trainer if you want mad muscular gains!
This trainer loves it! Out every weekend slamming back tequila before sliding home to catch a few hours kip before waking up ready to teach the Sunday morning spin at 6:30am. This trainer is the lad or ladette, always up for a laugh but also takes their job very seriously.
Ravers are the cool professionals, the opposite of egotistic, they’ll stay humble and be forever listening to other Personal Trainer’s, young at heart and maybe, well just young, they’ll be on the warpath to learn new skills from others, wanting to develop themselves, and pass any learning on to you as their client.
The raver is in the moment, ok so they might not be the most organised, but you can guarantee that once in front of them, they’ll give you one beast of a session.
The fitness industry has one of the highest staff turnover rates of all industries, and the churn rate for PT’s is usually around 3 months, these guys are whom we call the statistic.
The statistic will have to have left PT’ing before the three-month cycle to gain this title. Otherwise, they are just a new PT, which could turn out to be an absolute legend! The statistic, however, would most likely have fallen into personal training as they wanted a career change. They either enjoyed training or at least the idea of being a PT, and thought they would try their hand at. The only way to know if you’re training with a potential statistic is that they will appear to be lacking any form of passion! So, if you’ve seen more enthusiasm in a wooden t-shirt than in this Personal Trainer, be a tad cautious before you plunge your faith into their beautifully knitted pockets.
Ok, well it’s actually a ‘Strength and Conditioning Coach’’ or (S&C), but here we call them super coaches as they’re the gatekeepers to you standing in the winner’s enclosure at your chosen sport. This trainer knows their lacrosse from their elbow, and they’re armed with the tools necessary to help improve and fine-tune your performance in whatever your specific sport is.
These trainers have invested some serious cash in their skill set. This PT will have a related degree or even masters degree in sports science, human performance or another related discipline. They’ve gone that extra mile, enhancing their skills so that when you approach them wanting to develop your snap-shot, drive, kick, throw or whatever movement needed for your chosen sport, they can help.
A strength and conditioning coach will normally work with athletic teams as well as individuals.
This Personal Trainer is found either midway through an Iron Man or prepping for their next strongman, bodybuilding or powerlifting championship. Quality is what this PT is all about; they are the masters of putting in raw, hard work, lb. for lb. This PT is up there with the finest of athletes, professional 24/7. They train hard, eat clean, and are mindful that their lifestyle is how they lead by example. The pro-athlete shows their clients first hand what it takes to be a champion.
The Pro Athlete is whom you should choose if you want a sports specific coach who’s been there. The chances are high that their knowledge will be tried and tested first hand. They might even have contacts that are relevant, who could help you with the necessary steps to compete yourself.
The Pro Athlete will go above and beyond to help you reach your goal and just reams with inspiration; if you want to compete, get this PT on your team.
As a by-product of what may seem like an easy decision, your choice in Personal Trainer will determine your quality of gains and the time it takes you to achieve your gains.
The type of Personal Trainer you have ‘does’, therefore say a lot about you. Your choice is a personal reflection in the seriousness and also the playful aspect of how you perceive yourself. Your decision will lay the foundations of your future aesthetic and fitness results.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are tiny “strainers” that are inserted into the vena cava vein, the large vein that transports blood to the heart and lungs. These filters are designed to trap clots from the legs and pelvis and prevent them from reaching the heart and lungs where they can cause heart attack, stroke and other serious medical problems – even death. Clots most commonly occur in people with medical conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), as well as people who have been immobile for long periods of time or those who have been involved in a traumatic accident. Filters can play an important role in preventing these clots from causing serious problems. Traditionally, IVC filter placement was performed on a permanent basis with the filters left in place once positioned inside the IVC. But more recently, removable filters have been developed that can be taken out once the threat of a clot traveling to the heart or lungs has passed.
What happens during IVC filter placement and removal?
IVC filter placement and removal procedures are performed using image-guidance techniques to position the filter and safely remove it. During each procedure, an incision is made in the neck or the groin and a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is advanced to the inferior vena cava in your belly. In the placement procedure, the filter is inserted through the catheter so it can be placed in the target area where it will expand and secure itself against the blood vessel walls. During removal, the catheter will be used to gently grab the special hook located at one end of the filter, using the hook to gently close and withdraw the filter. Most IVC placement and removal procedures are performed using local anesthesia with or without sedation and can be completed in about an hour or less.
Once the procedure is complete, you'll feel sleepy due to the sedation and you'll need to remain in a recovery area for a short time for observation. Once discharged, you'll need to have someone drive you home. If the incision for filter placement or removal has been made in your neck, you'll normally be able to return to your regular activities in about a day or so. If the incision was made in your groin, you'll need to avoid driving, climbing stairs and lifting heavy objects for one day.

Just like you, we have all come to love Mary. She has no demands, but she gives back affection, curiosity, tolerance, and a bark or two. Everyday she accompanies CAPE staff as they walk through the sanctuary, caring for the animals. It never fails that later we will find her curled up on the couch, her favorite red blanket tucked around her.
But Mary is slowing down. In recent days we have noticed that her energy is decreasing. The tumor on her hind end seems a bit larger. We worry that the cancer has spread further.
She still gobbles up her meals, and wags her tail while barking when her favorite people arrive back home. We know that the beautiful life being given to her has not gone unnoticed. Mary drinks it in daily, with Maya, her "hospice nurse" always at her side.
Mary out on the sanctuary.

So grateful Mary found a wonderful ending chapter to her life.

Discussion in 'Jailbreaks and iOS Hacks' started by 1984world, May 17, 2014.
Looks like there might be a legit jailbreak for 7.1.1. Wonder if i0n1c will release it. I'm betting not.
But those jailbreaks are held to preserve the exploits and will never see the light of day for public release.
Stefen Esser is very talented, doesn't surprise me in the least he has a working jailbreak. That said, there may be others also but they don't advertise it otherwise their Twitter "hate mail" goes ballistic from those demanding a release.
Keep in mind also, the process he and others use to get that jailbreak may be so technical none of us could possibly perform it for ourselves.
Esser actually says his process was fairly simple. Not sure if he's bragging or serious. In either case, I think it's best they hold it for ios8 and release it with a new operating system, preferably nice and early like they did with ios7. That was really nice to get a jailbreak from these guys very soon (before xmas) after the ios was released.
There's more chance of apple giving us a jailbreak than his being released.
He would rather sell it to Apple than release a public JB.
So what if he doesn't go around releasing jailbreaks. Isn't it cool enough that he shows that it can be done? It must take a hell of a lot of talent to jailbreak these iOS's. We have a 7.0.6 jb, an upgrade to 7.1.1 while a nice want isn't even close to being a need.
No doubt it's cool and he's good at what he does but he's still a complete self-centered tool.

I love being myself and I love clothes that no one else wears, yes this is a bloke writing this blog piece and not a lady! But blokes can like clothes and shopping to can’t they? Anyway I do and I like to be different!
Even when the first inkjet transfer paper came out, I would design my own logos to go on to cheap Primark t-shirts. These things didn’t last long, a couple of washes and the design was peeling off, but I used to love the attention these t-shirts got me.
Well this is also down to you… You can choose from a set colour palette of what colour you want the soles to be, the colour of the laces and so on. As you can see from the photo, I designed my pair to stand out. Please bear in mind that these are used for running and not for everyday wear, but people can choose colours that will blend in to everyday life.
I went for the 5.0’s, these trainers are like wearing a pair of slippers, so light yet so bloody comfortable. The design process is pretty easy online, easier in one of the nike stores when the members of staff help out.
Overall I am very pleased with the trainers, I just hope as long as the pairs of trainers that have cost me £30.00!
The trainers will take one of the Nike Plus bluetooth chips that will talk to the built in app on your iPhone or most iPods. That way you can monitor your run pretty easily once you’ve managed to calibrate it.
The chip costs approx. £20.00 and the app just needs switching on in your settings menu.
Either the Nike Fuelband that we reviewed – or better still the Jawbone Up again, which we reviewed!
Nope… We’ve got no affiliated with Nike and have not been paid to do this review. Its simply been written for the love of gadgets, clothes and this website.
We do need to point out, that should you click on any of the links on this page/website, we may receive a small kickback. Just being honest!

This is one of the most fascinating works of comparative mythology I’ve ever read. Instead of just comparing a handful of myths from a few disparate cultures, the authors carefully correlate the creation stories and myths of the early world from every inhabited continent, matching up their timelines to show the startling amount of direct correspondence across cultures and around the world. I have to agree with the authors; the similarities among the worldwide creation tales are too great to be accounted for by mere coincidence.
The stated purpose of the book is to correlate the oldest worldwide myths and legends to find out what really happened in the far distant past and, perhaps, to discover where we humans really came from. The authors state up front that they’re offering ‘just the facts’ and will allow the reader to draw his or her own conclusions; happily, they do just that. Though the title and some comments within the book reveal that the authors believe the gods to be extraterrestrial beings of some sort, they do not push the matter but simply let the stories speak for themselves.
The authors begin with the creation stories found in the Bible because they’re familiar to most people, then they move on to the myths from the Fertile Crescent that form the foundation for the biblical tales, then legends from other cultures around the world. They identify some deities that appear in myths around the world – the Sky Father, the God of War, the Fertility God – and trace their actions in the stories. They also distinguish between the omnipotent/omniscient creator-god who is distant from humans and the deities who take on physical form, interact with people and can die or be killed. One point I found interesting is that, while the gods and goddesses visit the Earth, they never live here; their home is always in the heavens or the Underworld. Worldwide, all mythologies talk about different levels of existence above and below the Earth.
The most fascinating part of the book is the correlation between the timelines in the different creation stories. The authors state that they reviewed over 500 creation and flood legends from around the world and found matching timelines in all of them. They identify the Ages, Suns, Yugas and Worlds of the various myths and line them up for comparison at major points. They line up remarkably well, from Australia to the Americas to Europe to Asia. I do wish the authors had included some sort of chart showing the correlations; there was so much information, it was hard to hold it all in my head and I started taking notes just to keep my perspective. Regardless, I got goosebumps as I realized the extent to which the tales line up with each other.
A few of the worldwide parallels that caught my attention include the fact that the gods are fallible, not omnipotent, and rely on technology to achieve their goals; creation begins with a void and an egg, with the earliest beings (gods) part reptile, amphibian, or fish and often hermaphroditic; humans received the hallmarks of civilization (writing, agriculture) from the gods; a flood wiped out all but a few carefully chosen people and the animals they saved. The authors offer some possible dates for the flood based on geological evidence, any of which are quite reasonable, though none can be confirmed.
Obviously the authors have an opinion as to the nature of the gods – they believe them to be extraterrestrial beings who visited Earth in the distant past and interacted with humans for their own purpose. But it’s not necessary to agree with this view in order to enjoy the book and glean some great insights from it. If you enjoy comparative mythology in any form, this book will be a great read for you.

Are you really an ordained minister?
Yes, I am. I was ordained by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Georgia after completing seminary training at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. I served churches in Georgia before moving to Indiana and serving in the Disciples regional office there. I have served as the interim regional minister for the Oklahoma region of the Disciples of Christ and am currently serving as the interim regional minister for the Central Rocky Mountain Region of the Disciples of Christ.
Ministry is a second career for me. I had a 13-year career in information technology as a systems programmer and a manager before entering seminary in 1994. Most of my data processing years were spent with Sara Lee Hosiery, the company that produced L’eggs and Hanes Hosiery.

*Notes: this is 5 TOTAL sets, just to build to a workable weight for the workout today. This weight should feel like a 6-7/10 difficulty scale. At the point in the workout where the deadlift is, the reps will most likely need to be split up into a handful of sets. The weight should be challenging, but still highly capable of being lifted for multiple reps even under a high heart rate. If you are unsure for today, go lighter.

I have always had this silly ambition to be able to walk into a cafe and say, “I’ll have the usual thanks,” walk to my usual seat and read a book or draw something or be profoud. Just the usual. And when I started at QUT I found a cafe in which I could see myself being a regular. I ordered the same coffee every time, regular mocha. It was a busy little cafe on the campus grounds so I couldnt exactly have a regular table but I was half way there. But something disastrous happened.
I came to Garden’s Point this year… and it was gone. My faithful cafe with its familiar smell and sound was absent. Obviously I was crushed.
But, despair not! The cafe has reopened, completely refurbished and even more fancy and lovable than before. It is called The Pantry and is situated in the old sandstone building next to the kidney lawn. So, if you’re looking for a quiet, homey, and slightly european-feeling get-away have a wander in.
P.S. try the waffles – holy cow.

Attention federal bar practitioners: on November 19, the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, through Chief Judge William Smith and Judge Jack McConnell, approved 23 amendments to the Court’s Local Rules. The amended Local Rules will become effective on December 1, 2018 and will govern all proceedings in this Court that are pending, commenced or re-opened on and after that date. One significant change is the streamlining of admission to the federal bar in the new LR Gen 201.
Via the Chicago Tribune, the village of Mount Prospect, Illinois has agreed to pay $6.5 million to settle a lawsuit by a restaurant owner who has operated a pizzeria in the village for over 40 years.
The plaintiff cited a federal civil racketeering law, more commonly used to bust organized crime, when he filed his lawsuit in 2008 accusing the village of trying to force him out of his downtown business to make way for a new development project.
The lawsuit named the village and Oz Development LLC in alleging that they collaborated to try to push the plaintiff out, violating the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act.
The case settled on the verge of trial and after a federal judge entered a judgment of $2.1 million against Oz Development last month.

Juniors Sarah Teague and Morgan DelFava pose with author Bill Konigsberg's novel, "Openly Straight." Konigsberg Skyped Northwest's Gay-Straight Alliance club after school on Monday, April 8 to discuss his upcoming work and struggles and triumphs of LGBT youth today.
In the 1970s, being gay meant breaking the law.
LGBT children and adults had few role models to look up to– most homosexuals in the public eye were closeted, and literature featured only heterosexual, cis-gender characters.
However, all that has changed, in part thanks to ground-breaking writers such as LGBT author Bill Konigsberg.
Students shared their own stories with Konigsberg– from what it means to be trans at our school to reactions from others for cross-dressing at prom.
Konigsberg also discussed depression among the LGBT youth, encouraging students to find an “artistic outlet” and “community connection” when they start feeling depressed.
Konigsberg, now happily married to his husband, has been publishing adolescent LGBT novels since 2008, starting with his award-winning book, “Out of the Pocket.” He began his career as a journalist, but even though he was advised by many that he would not be able to make a living writing fiction, he wanted to give it a try.
Featuring three different alternate realities, the novel follows two characters who attempt suicide off of the George Washington Bridge. In one reality, the girl dies; in another reality, the boy dies; in the third reality, they both live.
The Skype phone call concluded with the hope that the students and Konigsberg will be able to meet in-person.

Many Americans don’t understand the financial markets and, as a result, don’t know where or how to begin when it comes to investing. They might not even realize how important investing can be. It can build financial security and wealth by making sure that the money they earn is also imbued with the power to earn.
You need to realize that your retirement will not pay for itself. Investing is something that you need to do in order to build that nest egg for retirement so that you will be able to reach your financial goals. According to Investor.gov, it is best if you diversify your investments or make sure that you don’t sink all of your money into one thing. There are all sorts of things that people can invest in. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that you can either buy outright or mine, like with Genesis Mining. When bitcoins were created, there was a finite limit set on how many of them there would ever be. That number is 21 million. Right now, over 12 million are being circulated. That leaves only a bit under 9 million that are left to be found. Because of this, any bitcoins you successfully mine are quite profitable. That makes this an investment that can really pay off, even if it is a bit risky.
Remember that the best time to start investing is always right now. That said, if you don’t know anything about investing, it can pay to learn a bit about your options first. One of those options is stocks.
Stocks are one of the most commonly seen investment options. People can trade stocks online for any of the companies in the US that are public. There are quite a few online brokers that are available for use. These brokers charge a fee, or commission, each time you make any sort of trade. This fee can be anywhere from $5 to as much as $30. If you buy a stock when it is at a low price and then sell it when it reaches a higher price, you will be able to make money.
The idea behind mutual funds was designed to attract investments. With a mutual fund, a large number of small investors pool their money to buy a diverse range of stocks as well as some other securities, This is a simple way to minimize the risk that is taken. Mutual funds make great investments because they allow for smaller initial investments, they provide investment management at a professional level, and they allow a lot of flexibility because the funds shift between a variety of assets.
This is a popular option because you get dual benefits – you are covered by insurance, and the yields are higher. Products like whole life insurance and annuities have come to be viable products for those investors who are looking for an option for long term investments.
Investments that are available to you through the retirement plan that your company offers are typically the same ones that you might opt for on your own. A major benefit with retirement plans that are sponsored by your employer is that they are typically plans with tax deferment. Also, most businesses will match what their employees decide to invest, or at least a percentage of it, which means that your investment is already growing.
Let’s talk about rental properties for a minute. Most Americans know how to go about evaluating a rental property. Especially when it comes to residential properties. That makes this type of investment one that is logical. That said, rental properties aren’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea. But, if you have a strong personality and won’t hesitate to evict people every once in a while, have at it. One attractive aspect of this is that the initial investment doesn’t need to be that daunting in many places. Additionally, once you have the place rented, your tenants will be the ones paying for the mortgage.
This is just a look at a few of the options you have for making investments. There are more out there and plenty of information on all of them.

I’m available to teach the following classes for real estate or law offices. I come to real estate offices for free, and it’s my goal to present once a week, so please ask.
Keep in mind some presentations above are not public events. Each presentation or class can be tailored to fit a time slot in your meeting. I prefer to lead discussion and present information in a very interactive way where we can talk about issues throughout the presentation. It’s usually best to have anywhere from 30-45 minutes, though I’m always game to go up to 60 minutes. At the same time a brief update with a Q&A can also be useful. I am available for hire for anything beyond one hour or for special events. I have some excellent two and three-hour classes that I’ve taught in California, Nevada, and Oregon, and I’m glad to travel.
I’ll be doing a market update (I think) at this meeting. It’s located at SAR and reserves for SAR members and affiliates only. I always enjoy these meetings because they’re smaller in size. Let’s talk shop.
I’ll be doing a market update at this meeting and fielding questions.
This is a class to hone skills for choosing comps and making adjustments. I talk through how to more effectively work with appraisers and learn how appraisers think about many issues such as comp selection, how to make adjustments, using price per sq ft in real estate, appraising that larger home in the neighborhood, etc… We’ll walk through many examples and even use MLS to learn how to comp out some interesting properties. This is a 3-hour class that has had amazing feedback. This is my favorite class to teach because it always leads to good conversation with agents as well as many “light bulb” moments where concepts will begin to make better sense for participants. Link coming soon (located at SAR).
One-on-One Training: Sometimes real estate professionals want to sit down and talk for a couple hours about comps, making adjustments, graphs, blogging, marketing, etc…. I love doing this and meeting people wherever they are at. I’m open to talking at my office, somewhere local, on the phone, or Skype. I do need to charge for my time by the hour for these types of conversations.
Choosing Comps Like an Appraiser: How do appraisers choose comps? How do appraisers view using price per sq ft in real estate? Let’s talk through some methodologies and practical examples (recommended 30-60 minutes).
Q&A: I love to sometimes just come and answer questions. I find it’s best if the office sends me 5 or so questions before the meeting so I can get the ball rolling with conversation. But otherwise we can just see where conversation goes.
Graph Training (for individuals): In 2018 I plan to do one-on-one training for making graphs. For locals I’d like you to come to my office and for non-locals we can do something online. Graphing has been a game-changer for me and I’d like you to walk away with not only an understanding of how to make the graphs, but a template for you to keep on your desktop so you can quickly make graphs. In other words, I want you to get the concepts and have tools to work with as soon as you get back to your office. I am still toying with pricing, but it will likely be $200 for two hours of time together. I realize this sounds steep compared to other educational offerings, but I need to make this work for my time and most of all I would like to impart a skill that could literally change the way you see value and communicate it to your clients and the public. I can honestly say learning to graph has changed my real estate career. Real estate is becoming more and more visual too, so graphing is a very key skill to have for any real estate professional. Why not? That’s the real question.
Housing Market Update (10 Things to Tell Your Clients about the Market): This is a great 30-minute update (45 minutes would be even better) to talk about what the market is doing. I’ll talk through the latest stats and graphs in a way that is packaged to immediately share with clients. In fact, I’ll often call this class “10 things to tell your clients about the market” since it is focused on being a presentation that is meant to be shared beyond just talking about numbers. It’s best if you have a screen and projector since I love to use PowerPoint and keep it visual. It’s possible to have a presentation under 30 minutes, but I find it’s much more useful if we can have more space for conversation, which is why 30-45 minutes is ideal.
How to Think Like an Appraiser: This is a class to walk through how to more effectively work with appraisers and learn how appraisers think about many issues such as comp selection, how to make adjustments, using price per sq ft in real estate, appraising that larger home in the neighborhood, interpreting market trends, etc… We’ll walk through many examples and even use MLS to learn how to comp out some interesting properties. This is a 3-hour class that has had amazing feedback. This is Ryan’s favorite class to teach because it always leads to good conversation with agents as well as many “light bulb” moments where concepts will begin to make better sense for participants.
How to Tell the Story of Value in Appraisal Reports: This two-hour class is for appraisers and it has been used for CE credit in California, Nevada, and Oregon. The class will talk in-depth about how appraisers can more effectively tell the story of market trends in appraisal reports. We often quickly check a box to say the market is “stable” or we say supply is balanced or marketing time is under 90 days, but what support can we give to show what is actually happening? In this class I share ways to support these trends, and even show you short and long examples of what I write in reports. Additionally, I share the way I use a couple 1004MC programs to help produce quick graphs to help effectively support market trends. Having more visual reports helps to support the value conclusions, trends and even adjustments at times.
Social Media for Appraisers: This two-hour class has been used for CE in California and Nevada. I’m glad to teach it in other states too. We talk through how appraisers can use social media in their businesses to help educate, inform, earn new clients, and most ultimately uphold USPAP. This class is very practical as the goal is for appraisers to walk away with ideas they can readily implement in the digital age. We are living in a time where having an online presence is key for business and communicating well with clients too.
The Emerging Trend of Cannabis in Real Estate: We’ll talk through some of the most common things to consider such as land value, zoning, increasing rents, disclosures, and communicating well with clients when they have questions. I am not an advocate for MJ by any stretch. This is only about explaining the market. It is best to have one hour for this class, though 75-90 minutes is even better.
Effective Blogging in Real Estate: Real estate blogging has been a big part of my business and it’s something I enjoy doing too. Blogging is an opportunity to share knowledge, build relationships and connect with existing and potential customers. If done right, a blog can help build credibility and expertise for your real estate business as well as serve as a place where potential clients can feel you out before deciding to do give you a call. This class is full of tips, how-tos and gives a framework for creating original content too. Two hours is the perfect length.
Top Items to Look for When Reviewing an Appraisal: When you get an appraisal report, do you actually read the report? Or do you just look at the bottom-line value? What should you look for to know if the report is solid or not? In this class we will look at an example 2-page appraisal report and go over 10 quick things to review in the appraisal. Becoming an expert at reading appraisals will help you serve clients better, understand what appraisers are thinking and even challenge bad appraisals.This can be a very quick 10-15 minute presentation if need be.
Overview of FHA Property Standards: Since FHA is fairly common in the market, it’s important to understand the nuts and bolts of what appraisers look for during an FHA appraisal inspection. What does it take for a property to meet FHA minimum requirements? This class will help when listing and marketing a property as well as communicating with your clients. See my FHA appraisal articles for reference.
How to Challenge a “Bad” Appraisal: Have you had a bad appraisal on one of your deals? What can you do when an appraisal comes in lower than it should? When is the best time to challenge a low appraisal? What can you say? This class goes through really helpful points to be able to communicate with an appraiser, and it also gives you a specific format to help you prepare a solid reconsideration of value. Knowing what to say and how to format your thoughts can be a huge asset for your business. I can take up to an hour for the presentation, though 20-30 minutes in an office has been plenty of time too.
Using price per sq ft in real estate (and not abusing it): This presentation is best at 30 minutes and we unpack price per sq ft as a metric. I use practical examples for how price per sq ft works, how it is so easily abused by the real estate community, how appraisers use it differently sometimes, and what it is really good for. This is a conversational class and I prefer to have 30 minutes where possible. Mastering this topic is so important for communicating well with clients who get hung up on using a certain price per sq ft in real estate. This is why I’ll give everyone a couple different ways to explain how price per sq ft works (and doesn’t).

For this setup, you need four Nodes (Hardware or Virtual Machines).
Three nodes for CrateDB and one node as a load balancer via HAProxy.
Tip: Always use a odd number of CrateDB nodes, to avoid split brain situations!
CrateDB (as far as I know) has no authentication. To secure your installation you need a separate private network.
CrateDB is an Java application.
If not already installed on all CraterDB nodes, here is a guid of how to install Oracle Java on Ubuntu.
Unfortunately I sometimes need to force CrateDB to use IPv4 to get networking up and running.
Please keep in mind, that you need to modify the IP addresses, to fit your environment.
Open the file /etc/crate/crate.yml and set the following values.
# of nodes defined in gateway.recover_after_nodes are started.
# Setting this to `false` disables the Enterprise Edition of CrateDB.
To see, if everything is working as expected, you should browse to the CrateDB Admin Ui.
With this setup, the Admin UI is only reachable from the private network!
Open http://10.135.17.247:4200 in your browser.
Replace 10.135.17.247 with an private ip address of one of your nodes.
Go to http://127.0.0.1:4200 in your browser.
10.135.17.247 is the private ip address of the node, where CrateDB is running.
10.0.2.15 is the external (or public) ip address of the node.
To make sure, that CrateDB gets started automatically after a reboot, enable it on every node.
We are going to using HAProxy as load balancer in front of your CrateDB cluster.
So you only have one static IP address, all your applications can use to connect to the CrateDB cluster.
In addition you can use HAProxy as a proxy between your private network, where the CrateDB cluster is running, and your company network.
To make sure, HAProxy was able to connect to all your CrateDB nodes, you can check the Status Page.
I recommend you, to use the ip address of the load balancer for all applications, that want to connect to the CrateDB cluster.
Crash is the name of the CrateDB CLI Shell.

The search for a new interim district superintendent took place over the summer following the resignation of our former superintendent last May. While the MSAD6 School Board considered a number of candidates, it ultimately decided to appoint former BEHS Principal Mr. Paul Penna to the job.
The promotion may have come as a surprise to those who believed Mr. Michael Roy, the assistant superintendent had gotten the job. In reality, Mr. Roy had only been appointed interim superintendent for the remainder of the 2015-2016 school year, since Mr. Sherburne’s resignation came at an awkward time.
 While the pool of applicants for the superintendency must remain anonymous, sources indicated that Mr. Penna did not face competition from anyone else already inside the school district.
“The reason I did apply is [because] I did just recently finish my advanced studies program… and I feel committed to the district,” said Mr. Penna.
Having worked in the district since 2013, Mr. Penna feels his advantage as an applicant was his familiarity with the staff and the district’s objectives. Mr. Penna completed a program of advanced study and educational leadership at the University of New England in 2014.
His appointment was announced at the beginning of August and was followed up by a letter he sent to the BEHS faculty. Mr. Penna said he would continue to be accessible to the MSAD6 and high school communities. Like Mr. Roy, Mr. Penna was appointed on an ‘interim’ basis. He says this arrangement will give everybody – including himself – an opportunity to make assessments before finalizing a long-term deal.
Mr. Penna admits there were some things he was nervous about at the beginning of this school year.
As interim superintendent, it is now his responsibility to ensure the functionality of every aspect of the district – from the finance and maintenance departments to the transportation department and beyond. He also feels he has an obligation to all of the staff and students of the community. Should the job prove not to be to his liking, Mr. Penna says, his interim status leaves both him and the district a way out.
Mr. Penna has spent time so far this school year travelling around the district and getting to know more of the teachers and students. On the day of his being interviewed, he had already visited all but one of the district’s schools.
Mr. Frank Sherburne (left), then-superintendent, and Mr. Paul Penna (right) then-BEHS-principal, took a trip to China in 2013.
Mr. Penna’s first year as superintendent happens to coincide with big developments for the proficiency-based education initiative (PBE). Mr. Penna has made it his goal to further the development and implementation of that system while also addressing some of the concerns held by parents, teachers, and students.
Mr. Penna believes PBE will set the bar high in order to prepare students for a competitive global market. He also believes the school should provide support for those who may have additional variables going on at home.
Another priority of Mr. Penna’s has been to ensure continuity in the district’s reporting system. With the exception of minor tweaks, he believes the report cards of all the schools in the district should be uniform.
“People… definitely need to understand how and what we are reporting about their children and their [children’s] progress,” said Mr. Penna.
Mr. Penna strives to make advancements even in spite of the recent comments made by our state’s governor. Governor Paul Lepage said on October 4th Maine has too many school districts and that he plans to pressure them into consolidating. Gov. Lepage stated Maine’s teachers and students are the victims of the state’s teachers union and superintendents association. His predecessor (Democratic Gov. John Baldacci) unsuccessfully attempted to consolidate Maine’s school system in 2008.
Mr. Penna criticized Gov. Lepage’s comparison of Maine’s public education system to that of Florida, explaining that Florida is a different region and what works there might not necessarily work here. Nationally, Florida is not on the top of the list of academic achievement, and Mr. Penna is skeptical as to what Gov. Lepage actually thinks he will be able to do.
“I wish… our Governor would support public education and make a statement to our citizens that he really does embrace it,” said Mr. Penna.
While Mr. Penna has now earned the opportunity to make bigger changes in the district, a Superintendent is naturally far more estranged from his students than a principal. During his tenure as principal of BEHS, which began at the start of the 2013-2014 school year, Mr. Penna was a huge advocate of school spirit and student-administrator connections. Many upperclassmen will remember his high-energy performances during each homecoming spirit week for which he was principal.
“The excitement and the enthusiasm of the students really help energize you and keeps you moving forward,” said Mr. Penna.
To capture such energy this year, Mr. Penna says he has continued to support football games at the High School and watches other athletic activities at BEMS.

A quarter of the Open University's new students are aged 17 to 25. Why the sudden surge in popularity?
Sarah Rotundo-Fergusson left school with three grade As at A-level, and an offer of a place at Cambridge University, so when she started work as a nursery assistant on a salary of less than £11,000, there were more than a few raised eyebrows among family and friends. But, she says, there was method in her madness. While her peers were running up debt at university, she combined work with distance learning through the Open University (OU), achieving a 2:1 degree in childhood and youth studies.
Now 24, Rotundo-Fergusson is manager of a day nursery in Berkshire with a company car and a good salary. She is also a homeowner and has her sights set firmly on promotion. By the age of 30, she hopes to be earning up to £40,000 as an adviser in early years education. Meanwhile, her friends who chose more traditional higher education routes are trying to get their first foothold on the career ladder.
She admits that her parents were initially disappointed at her decision to study through the OU, which "generally doesn't have the same prestige as other universities". But the idea that it is somehow second-rate compared with campus-based universities is one of many misconceptions about the OU, she says.
The image of the bearded professor presenting BBC2 programmes broadcast in the early hours of the morning still prevails. And even to the more enlightened, the OU is often seen either as a "last-chance saloon" for those who messed up at school, or for "recreational" students such as the retired.
The truth is, the OU has always attracted a diverse range of students. What has changed in recent years is the number of young people choosing to studying through the OU. Those who still subscribe to the 1970s stereotype might be surprised to learn that 25% of new students enrolling with the OU are aged between 17 and 25. Over the last year, there has been a 36% increase in students in this age group. So why is the "grey university" suddenly so popular?
Christina Lloyd, head of teaching and learner support at the OU, thinks it is partly to do with changing perceptions. The OU's focus on distance or "open" learning naturally lends itself to the use of new technologies, for example making use of the digital media player iTunes and video-sharing website YouTube to deliver lectures and resources, which appeals to internet-savvy young people.
More significant, perhaps, is money. Tuition fees are typically around £4,000-£5,000 for an undergraduate degree through the OU, which compares favourably to £9,000 for a full-time degree at a campus-based university (which of course excludes accommodation or other living costs).
Earlier this month, the universities minister, David Willetts, announced proposals for nationally recognised degree programmes that would allow students to take prestigious courses, but save on the expense of living away from home by studying at their local university or college. He has strongly hinted that he thinks the cap on university tuition fees should rise, meaning the OU may still represent a more cost-effective option for those students unwilling or unable to run up vast amounts of student debt.
The latest Push Student Debt Survey estimates average student debt at over £23,000, but the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that if the cap on tuition fees is lifted (a move championed by the Russell Group of universities, along with higher interest rates on student loans) students could leave university more than £40,000 in debt.
Under current funding arrangements, part-time learners, who make up around 39% of the student population, are particularly disadvantaged. They have to pay tuition fees upfront (full-time students do not pay anything until completion of their degree) and are not eligible for government grants and loans, putting higher education out of reach for many.
To achieve its central mission of increasing participation and widening access to higher education, the OU "tops up" the funding it receives from the government (known as the "block grant"), to support students on lower incomes or those experiencing financial difficulties, with almost a quarter of students receiving some kind of support at any one time. "We're a part-time university and finance is the biggest inhibitor to participation in higher education, which is why we're so committed to offering support," says Lloyd.
Rotundo-Fergusson qualified for financial help, which covered all of her tuition fees. She also received a grant for travel costs and to buy a laptop.
According to Lloyd, "the biggest irony is that all students are part-time these days, often fitting study around part-time jobs, rather than the other way round." As a result, today's higher education "customers", many of whom will be paying for their education for years to come, demand value for money from their higher education provider.
Meg Dixon is one such example. She started out at a campus university, but, disillusioned with what was on offer, left in the second year and completed her degree through the OU.
The quality of resources, tutor support and academic rigour of OU degree study surprised her. "I worked really hard to get the grades required to get on to my first university course, but I found out many students had poor A-levels or none at all. The OU may be open access, but expectations were much higher, as was the level of tuition and support."
Now 22, Dixon works in nanoscience and earns more than the average graduate salary of around £20,000.
Aaron Porter, NUS president-elect, is not surprised more young people are choosing the OU instead of campus universities. "The threat of rising tuition fees will force many of those thinking about university education to reconsider their options."
But Pam Tatlow, chief executive of the university thinktank million+, thinks rising concerns about the shortage of funded university places in 2010 may be responsible. "The OU is outside of the Ucas system, so students can apply without using up one of their five Ucas choices," she says. "The OU is therefore an insurance policy."
Lloyd agrees that fair funding for part-time students is vital, but argues that the OU is far more than an "insurance policy". "That distinction between full-time and part-time study is eroding and more people are seeing the careers benefits of combining work with study. The world of higher education is changing and a big slice of that is about the OU."

To further develop personalized medicine in kidney transplantation and improve transplant patient outcomes, attention has been given to define early surrogate endpoints that might aid therapeutic interventions, and help clinical decision-making.
To adequately predict transplant patients' individual risks of allograft loss and patients' complications, this would require a complex integration of data, including: donor data, recipient characteristics, transplant characteristics, biopsies results, immunosuppressive regimen, allograft infections, acute kidney injuries, recipient immune profiles, protocol and per cause biopsies and imaging (PET/CT imaging).
The detection of acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients, depends critically on assessments of serum creatinine, an insensitive measure of renal injury and the diagnosis relies on renal transplant needle biopsy which is an invasive procedure associated with a significant risk of bleeding and graft loss and is limited by sampling error and/or interobserver variability. Moreover, repeated biopsies to evaluate a renal graft's status pose challenges, including practicability and cost. Consequently, other sensitive and less invasive modalities, including gene expression profiling and omic analyses of blood and urine samples as well as in vivo imaging, are currently under investigation to reinforce our clinical armamentarium for acute rejection diagnosis. Likewise, it would be useful to non-invasively predict rejection in kidney transplant recipients with acute renal dysfunction and suspected acute rejection, thereby avoiding unnecessary transplant biopsy.
This study aims to generate a scoring system that predicts individual patients' risk of long-term kidney allograft failure.
Since 2007, the protocol in our institution is to withdraw the corticoids after 3 months after the protocol biopsy if no sign of rejection is demonstrated. We would like to evaluate the impact of such decision in the risk of rejection and the long-term allograft outcome in our patients. We are looking also to the impact on bone mineral density after corticoids withdrawal in those patients.
Evaluate the type and the frequencies of complications in our kidney transplant population to adapt our daily basis clinical practice.

Carl and I left the Ladybower Inn at 8.50 and set out to walk the length of the Ladybower Reservoir, best known as the training ground for the Dambusters Raid.
We kept noticing race signs, and shortly before the second dam a Marshall explained that 500 mountain bikers were about to arrive. Knowing that the bikers were unlikely to take any prisoners, we put on a bit of a spurt until the next dam. Once past the dam and off the race route, we could relax, and were amused by a curious sign on the gate of Ladybower Lodge.
Near here we met the first of several groups of young people practicing for their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Expedition. These charming young ladies had left their camp at 6.00am and had walked most of the way around the lake. They were very polite and cheerful, and it was encouraging to find some young people taking pleasure in the outdoors.
We gradually gain height on our 10k walk up the reservoir, but at Slippery Stones the easy part of the day was over, and we now had to climb up Cranberry Clough to Cut Gate and Midhope Moors. This proved to be a popular route and I saw more walkers today than in the previous eight days combined.
The weather gradually improved and we were now bathed in sunshine. After a little boggy ground at the top of Mickleden Edge, the path improved and we descended to Langsett Reservoir for a late lunch.
A quick walk through some woods led us out onto the A628 only 300m from the Dog and Partridge Inn. We arrived almost exactly 6 hours after leaving the Ladybower Inn.
Carl managed to phone Doug, who turned up as Carl and I were finishing our second round of tea. More tea was needed, and then it was time for them to depart. It has been a real pleasure to have spent the past two days with Carl and Doug, and I just want to express my appreciation and thanks for all their kindness, help, and encouragement.
Today was a semi rest day so I met my friends Carl and Doug for breakfast at the Inn and Carl and I left at 9.50 to walk up to Stanage Edge.
The route took us past the church and then up steeply through a wood to Court Farm. To spare Carl and me embarrassment I will only say that we were busy talking and failed to notice that instead of going up we were going down. We finally realised that we had gone wrong when we arrived back at the church! Try again. Back up the 200m of ascent to Court Farm. Here we found a way sign, carefully placed so that it was behind us, which showed the path went up a paved driveway into what appeared to be the grounds of a very expensive house. Back on the correct route we quickly joined Doug and his dog Lily at the Stanage car park for a much needed cup of tea.
Doug and Lily joined us for the walk along the top of the Edge. Lily took her ball, which she insisted we kick for her to chase.
The weather was good and we all enjoyed our walk. Unfortunately Lily’s ball seemed to be irresistibly attracted to the bottom of the cliff. Doug retrieved it the first time and then I had to clamber down. Regrettably on this occasion the ball was lost.
Doug and Lily left us after a while and Carl and I continued past the trig point at High Neb to the A57.
We turned down towards Ladybower Reservoir and found a good path, via Highshaw Clough, to emerge at the Inn.
Carl and I booked into our room and then we went to Hathersage where we all had delicious fish and chips at the Pool Cafe.
We forced ourselves to have a couple of drinks in the bar and then had an early night. It had been a very relaxing and memorable day.
Here are a couple more shots of the day’s walking. All photos today have been kindly provided by Doug and Carl.
After an early breakfast, and thanks to a lift from my landlady, I set off at 8.15 on one of the longest sections of my trip.
The route to Uttoxeter follows the Staffordshire Way but is described as being the the low point of the whole trail. “The path follows the edge of huge fields and the walking is monotonous and the scenery featureless.” So it proved; and to add to the pleasures of the day it was cold and raining. Definitely a time just to pound out the miles.
Uttoxeter eventually appeared and was left behind via a path through the racecourse.
Next came my first encounter this trip with my bovine friends. I am not sure why they only appear when I have to cut straight across large fields. This herd included some very fine Old English cattle with huge horns and calves. Luckily they were friendly.
Crossing the A50 I entered Derbyshire for the first time and headed for Rocester. Here I passed Arkwright’s Mill – now the JCB academy – and could see the JCB factory which dominates the town. A handy seat at Rocester Church proved a good place for lunch.
The weather had now improved and the walk alongside the River Dove was enjoyable. Leaving the village of Ellastone I made my way up to The Hutts Farm. Here I made a fatal decision. I was now on the Limestone Way high up on a ridge but the way is not signed. The guide route left the Limestone Way at this point to drop down to the Ordley Brook Valley.
The route description states ” There is an excellent route along the wooded valley bottom, although it is occasionally wet underfoot, the wood is a delight to walk through and mostly very easy walking”. I went that way. There followed about 3km of the worst conditions of the whole trip. The path is a quagmire of mud with fallen trees and clinging brambles. When I finally reach a road the relief was palpable. Even the guidebook’s author admitted that the route proposed from the road was worse so an alternative had to be found. I therefore walked back up to the Limestone Way on the road to find good conditions and much better scenery!!
A little road walking, during which it started to snow, took me to Woodhouses and soon Coldwall Bridge and Dovedale were in sight. I arrived at the Izaak Walton Hotel at 6.00 after 35k and an almost 10-hour day.
A few minutes later my sister-in-law Susan arrived with husband Michael and treated me to a delicious dinner. I slept well.

I recently finished a small campaign for synthetic fur bags.
No animals were harmed in the production of the these bags, so even animals would buy/pose with them. That’s the idea behind it.
Technically I used SI. No big secrets. Rigging was done by Georg Schneider, the rest by myself. The hair has been created with my own fur system, using strands in ICE.Contrary to MR, RS worked like charm even/especially with GI enabled. Inpossible in MR.
About 20-40m before it actually started to render, but then it took only about 1h to render 8x6k (Titan Black). Fantastic!
Since I created the fur system by myself. I could take care of intersections of the strands with the actual geometry. So no bald patches which needed retouching. Using Modo or LW in the past, this was one of the biggest issues with their fur solutions. Especially with flat, wild hair.
So in the end, apart from minor retouching and brightness changes, very little post production.
So you're saying that you basically used your own (furry) features to make your subjects so lifelike?
Man! Softimage is what again? dead you say?
Make my words the FxDude ones.
Add this should be in Great Softimage Work.
Edit: how do you render tested to get the correct look?
The correct look for the fur?
Great work! And amazing work on the custom fur!
For the whole scene but specifically the fur.
Is this for a commercial product ?
Can you make a naked human with a purse from human skin too?
@Pancho - What specifically did you want to address when you set out to build your own fur system?
Wow, awesome job, I am impressed!
After working with LW and Modo fur I was pretty much fed up with all those limitations and not knowing what's going on under the hood. Especially flat fur without interpenetration isn't possible with both software packages. And while SI might be able to comb guide hair ON the mesh, I'm not sure whether the strands generated afterwards would behave in the same way. With my fur system I can take care of this.
I also have the ability to change the order of the styling. Depending on what you want to achieve this will make a big difference. So, in the end I've got pretty much all the freedom I need, while it might be a bit slower, since it is fully made in ICE.

Summer. Long days. Blue skies. Bright evening stars. Among its simple pleasures: the sweet cacophony of birdsong, the laughter of children playing, the chirping of crickets lulling us to sleep.
Many of our archived haiku reflect these simple joys of Summertime. Here are a few of them!
Dreaming of Summer. Double Dutch, hopscotch and friends. Good times and laughing.
For some, nothing says Summer like chasing Fireflies! Their magical flight, on a starry Summer night, can still take us by surprise. As part of our 2015 Syracuse Poster Project collection, our featured poster beautifully reflects a childhood we can still remember when we chased a brightly lit Firefly. Eloquently written in 2014 by frequent contributor, Thomas Stock, this charming poster was illustrated by former Syracuse Illustration Student, Sophia Openshaw, now a freelance illustrator from Annapolis, Maryland.
Fireflies blink brightly / Caught in jars of summer dreams / Where I once left them.

Looking for inexpensive yet meaningful ways to boost your employees' motivation? Save your employees money, boost their brain's level of dopamine naturally, and create an environment where they can get ahead. Then, watch the magic happen.
Dr. Bob Nelson, a leading authority on workforce motivation and best-selling author of 1001 Ways to Reward Employees and Keeping Up in a Down Economy, says simple perks, such as free coffee, can retain and motivate employees, make a difference in the workplace, help employees save money, improve morale and enhance productivity.
Those who were praised in the last week show a 10 to 20 percent increase in revenue and productivity.
Employees who report that they're not adequately recognized at work are three times more likely to quit in the next year.
Formally or informally, making a habit of praising your employees' good work will keep the good work flowing.
Even slight progress was more linked to positive emotions and high motivation than any other workday event.
Isn't it good to know that much of what motivates employees is within your control?
