text: You may experience some of the ketoprofen side effects listed in this article or none at all. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking the drug. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect of ketoprofen, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.

Not surprisingly, interest in mindfulness is growing, especially among digital natives: In the past decade, the rate of increase in Google searches for mindfulness has outpaced that of all Google searches by a factor of four. Furthermore, years of scientific research and modern forms of teaching have fueled its popularity. Now, mindfulness apps even come pre-installed on smartphones and tablets.
A leading pioneer of corporate mindfulness is Jon Kabat-Zinn, who facilitated its democratization by designing a program called Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction. The course provides a simple and structured introduction to scientifically proven meditation practices. Similarly, Chade-Meng Tan has developed Search Inside Yourself, a course that combines meditation practices with emotional intelligence training — an approach he pioneered at Google.
More recently, companies in the West have turned to mindfulness to promote employee well-being and productivity. The movement began among startups in Silicon Valley and has been implemented by long-established companies across the U.S. and Europe as well as by government bodies. These include Aetna, Beiersdorf, Bosch, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Intel, Royal Dutch Shell, SAP, Target, the UK’s Parliament, and the U.S. House of Representatives.
At software company SAP, mindfulness has become a key ingredient of corporate life for employees and executives alike. More than 6,000 employees have taken two-day mindfulness courses that focus on meditations complemented by the practice of self-mastery and compassion. In addition, internal mindfulness trainers offer guided meditations during working hours and a multi-week mindfulness challenge, including meditation “micropractices,” such as tuning out of a busy workday for a few minutes to focus on one’s breathing.
“For many managers, it has become the new normal to open meetings with short meditations,” says Peter Bostelmann, the director of SAP’s global mindfulness practice. Participants in the mindfulness program report increased well-being and higher creativity. What’s more, mindfulness has promoted significant measurable improvements in employee engagement and leadership trust indices. Bostelmann has seen a significant shift in how corporate mindfulness programs are perceived. A few years ago, some leaders ridiculed the concept of mindfulness at work. Recently, however, executives of other companies — including Deutsche Telekom and Siemens — have sought Bostelmann’s advice about how to adopt mindfulness concepts at their companies.
Aetna, a U.S. health insurer, has trained 13,000 employees on mindfulness practices, resulting in a reported reduction in stress levels of 28%. Annual productivity improvements, a secondary effect, are estimated at $3,000 per employee. Aetna launched the mindfulness initiatives gradually, starting with brief meditations in executive-team meetings and then continuing with yoga and meditation classes for all employees. “We have demonstrated that mindfulness-based programs can reduce stress and improve people’s health,” says Mark Bertolini, Aetna’s chairman and CEO.
For some companies, mindfulness will become a paradigm for organization design and employee well-being. In terms of adopting mindfulness generally, organizations can start by experimenting with four types of interventions: leadership training, meditation training, mindfulness micropractices and mindfulness coaching.
By instilling self-awareness, self-regulation and compassion, mindfulness courses address the psychological root causes of multiple leadership problems. And because these courses also encourage the natural development of skills for managing time, change and conflict, training programs dedicated to establishing these skills might become obsolete.
At Bosch, a one-year agile leadership-training curriculum involves three modules: leading oneself, leading teams and leading the organization. The self-leadership training focuses on mindfulness and involves regular guided meditations, conscious-communication exercises and courses to help leaders avoid the pitfalls of multitasking.
At a multinational engineering company, some leaders openly expressed skepticism about the value of mindfulness. The company converted these skeptics into believers by explaining the concept in layman’s terms, sharing scientific research about its effectiveness and inspiring senior leaders to become change agents. Today, mindfulness is the new normal for the company, and leaders pause for meditation in the designated silent room before making major decisions or having difficult discussions.
To reinforce their training courses, some organizations — including Google, LinkedIn and Twitter — offer guided meditations during working hours. Google has also established silent lunches and silent rooms, where employees can go to readjust their mindsets in the midst of an intense working day.

timestore is a lightweight library which replaces native setTimeout/setInterval methods. It allows you to create a store, set timers which belong to that store, and then run, clear, pause and resume them either one by one, or altogether. That makes it very useful to integrate timestore with game states by creating a store for each state and switching between them without losing timers from other stores.
Docs and code are here!
Yellow rocket will move 2 seconds after you set a Timeout. You can clear timeout and also pause and resume it with the "Toggle" button.
The number shows the time until launch.
Pink rocket will move constantly after you set Interval. When you clear it, the rocket will stop.
// <-- The same TS as on the left!
Those rockets will move constantly after you set Intervals. They will stop when you clear Intervals.
Also, you can toggle each rockets on and off. In this example, toggle works only when Intervals are set and not cleared.
// The method .clearAll() affects all timers.
// So we need another "timerspace".

Do you suffer from one of these 11 top garden challenges that many home gardeners face?
Over the past 33 years, I have dealt with many many challenges. All of these challenges. I’m here today (still gardening) to share solutions to these challenges with you.
I’m not keeping my secrets to myself. I believe the reason I encountered all of these garden problems and solutions was so that I could help others like you who are looking for answers. And I hope you’ll find the answers here in this post. Feel free to listen to the podcast episode if you don’t have time to read.
11 Top Garden Challenges most home gardeners face.
How answers to garden soil problems and solutions can make a huge difference in your garden venture.
My favorite way to deal with weeds is to never let them start. I use black plastic mulch and then put organic mulch over the top to hold it down. This helps control weeds in between the rows.
If you’ve seen the movie Peter Rabbit or read the books by Beatrix Potter, you might be inclined to let bunnies have some of your garden.
You should read these books, they are so cute!
But, I’m telling you, if you give an inch, they will take a mile. Or all of it.
One year, I lost an entire pea crop overnight due to rabbits. After that, I vowed not to share my beloved vegetable garden with the wildlife. It’s just not worth it. If you want to help the wildlife, there are other methods of sharing that you can provide for them.
~ Squirrels – Try sprinkling Cayenne Pepper on the ground where they’re digging. It has been known to deter them away.
~ Blossom End Rot – Read here for my experience about blossom end rot.
Know the type of soil you have. Clay vs. Sandy vs. Loam. Understand that veggies can grow in any of these soils. Just some better than others.
You’ll just want to know what kind of soil you have so you know what to plant. Sandy soils dry out quicker. Clay soils hold water in longer. Loam soils is a mixture of clay and loam and are almost nearly perfect.
We all can’t have Loamy soil. But we can learn about the soils we have and work with them to grow our own gardens.
Some of us live on hills that more often than not do not work to plant anything. But there are ways to get around that.
You can landscape it and set containers. Install stair steps or terraces into the side of the hill. Note that proper landscape and planting in a hill or terrain can help prevent erosion or run off of precious soil.
You can find a lot of good ideas on Pinterest. Visit my Best Garden Board for lots of ideas.
No one can predict or control weather. It’s not worth stressing about it. The good news is, there are some ways to manipulate the weather during extreme times.
For late frosts/freezes, you can use frost blankets to cover your plants.
During times of extreme heat, you can use a canopy or canvas over your garden at certain times of the day for certain shade loving crops.
Water properly at ground level using soaker hoses for best results.
Get some soaker hoses to install here and make your life easier!
Balancing gardening with life can be difficult at any season of life no matter what you’re doing with your life.
Over 33 years, I’ve gardened through every season. As a student and 4-H member. As a college student. And as a working adult.
Most recently as a mom who grows a garden as a business along with doing other things as well. For that reason, I have implemented some low-maintenance and automated systems in the garden for watering, weed control and insect control.
Are you having trouble growing certain vegetables in your garden year after year? Maybe it’s sweet potatoes. Maybe it’s onions.
Well, I want to recommend that you start at the ground level. Start with your soil health. Look at how much shade or what type of soil you have.
Also, Record Keeping for keeping track of plant health and yield can help you make a decision. You know what? I’m going to create a garden journal for record keeping in your veggie garden.
Click Here to be Added to a List and Be the First to Know When That Journal is ready for you!
Also, watering the wrong way and at the wrong time can be so wrong for certain crops. Certain crops want lots of water. But certain soils dry out faster. Know your soil and you’ll know a lot about some of the solutions you’ll need to find.
Start at the ground level with your soil and go from there. I’m telling you – the answers are there.
If your sore after gardening or while gardening, you might be interested in this section. If kneeling hurts you. If bending over hurts your back.
These “growing pains” do not have to happen. Yes, sometimes you can’t control the pain. But, there are good tools and resources to help you make it more enjoyable.
Here’s one solutions: Raise your Planters or raised bed up to be able to sit on the edge and reach the mid line of the bed. If you can sit comfortably with your back straight, you’re going to be putting much less pressure on your back and knees bending over.
Another issue a gardener might have is arthritis. A good tool set for someone with arthritis or sore joints is any that is labeled ergonomic.
Finally, this portable seat can really help to ease some pains. – Get one here on Amazon. They are so cool!
Looking for more gifts for a gardener? Check out my gift guide page.
Finally, there’s never ever enough space to do everything we want to do. A super easy challenge to overcome these days! There’s more and more resources out there for gardening with less space.
Vertical Gardening is stacking beds or containers or using trellises to build your garden up. This allows you to plant different plants closer together.
If you have no room for a backyard garden, container gardening is so doable. You can garden anywhere you are. If your desire is to grow your own vegetable garden, then just start. Figure out your space, observe what you have and what you need, test your soil, plan it out and take action.
Let Me Help You Overcome these Top Garden Challenges!
I know that you can solve these common gardening problems with only the right practices in place. Hopefully after reading this post, your vegetable gardening problems are answered.
Remember that this is a resource page that I will be adding special posts to in order to solve more of these common problems in a failing garden. If there is some garden troubleshooting that I didn’t cover that you’re dying to know, please feel free to contact me here or leave a comment below.
Problems associated with gardening always have solutions. And once solved, you’ll be well on your way to growing an amazing garden that you can be proud of.

In the competitive world of fashion, aspiring professionals find international experience helps them stand out in the crowd. World Endeavors International Fashion interns experience firsthand how clothing is designed, produced, and marketed to the public. Depending on their background and interest, fashion interns may work on the design side of the fashion industry or on the business side. They also may assist with fashion shows and presentations, research inspiration for future designs, create samples and patterns, and work with clients around the world. Some interns promote new lines by writing company newsletters or publicity materials in print and online. Interns may also do some administrative work to support their colleagues.
Fashion is a hands-on field, and the best way to learn about it is to get direct experience working in the industry. In today’s globally-oriented fashion world, it’s especially valuable to work abroad to learn how professionals around the world are creating tomorrow’s clothing trends. Working abroad brings interns into contact with different aesthetics and cultures; so, when they return home, they’ll have powerful résumés and the skills to succeed in this competitive industry.
Fashion interns should have a strong interest in the field, the ability to think critically about design and visual materials, and a hardworking attitude. Good organization and communication skills are crucial, as is adaptability to a new culture and work environment.

An Interview with Robin D. Laws; Writer, Editor and Role Playing Game Designer.
Robin, your work on games and fiction spans decades and genres –Talislanta, Star Trek, Earth Dawn, Warhammer, as well as your own systems Rune, The Dying Earth, Over the Edge, Feng Shui, the Gumshoe System, the DramaSystem and more. Your career with role playing games is among the most distinguished in an industry that has seen many changes. What advice might you have for designers and writers today to find good partner companies, and to become successfully established?
R: There's a paradox inherent in asking people who've been successful for a while about their career paths. In any creative field the trick is to spot a you-sized hole and then fill it before someone else does. That spot isn’t there anymore because the person you want to emulate has already filled it. Also, things have changed enormously since I started in the early 90s.
That said, what I would advise is to get involved in online communities and hopefully finally in face-to-face interaction with the games and companies that excite you. Making sure that you work with good partner companies is a matter of doing a little bit of behind the scenes sleuthing to discover stuff like how far behind a company is in its production schedule, whether they pay freelancers on time, how pleasant they are to work with, and so forth. There's really no substitute for going to Gen Con and leveraging the profile that you built with your online activities to earn face time. If I already kind of know you from the cool stuff you’ve written about my games, you’re going to make a bigger impression on me than if you’re approaching me cold and I can’t tell how much you know about the lines I work on.
Of course, face to face contact gives the people you’re meeting the opportunity to evaluate you, as well, so you have to make sure that you present yourself as together and personable and fun to be around.
When you do get work, be on time, hit the specs you’re given, and require as little prose editing as possible. Having great ideas is important too but the power of reliably delivering quality work on time can’t be underestimated.
I’ve been enjoying listening to your podcast with the excellent Kenneth Hite: Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff. You often discuss film and fiction as well as games. Your notes from film festivals are particularly fun to listen to! Narrative structure seems central to your approach to game design, as shown by Hamlet’s Hit Points and the DramaSystem. What led to this, and how has it shaped your designs over the years?
R: I thought of myself as a writer from a very young age, but never considered gaming as an outlet for my work until fairly late, when I kind of fell into it backwards. Originally I thought that I was going to be a playwright. Although I've always been analytical about story my sensibility is as much a literary or art-house perspective as it is rooted in geek culture. When I first started out it seemed liked there was a big unexplored territory in looking at the way narrative is constructed in other forms and applying those techniques to role-playing games. That's why for example Feng Shui is an emulative, not simulative, game. It's more interested in modeling the way action movies present themselves than in caring about the real world effects of things like gun calibers or body armor. In hindsight emulation seems like a pretty obvious approach but at the time it was very much running against the tide of the simulative of wave of games that preceded it. The interest in Hong Kong movies in particular came out of my festival going because the Toronto film festival (then called the Festival of Festivals) was one of the first to highlight those movies for a western audience. So, just ahead of the curve, I got to see something that I knew would become a geek favorite genre before it hit, a result of the cross-pollination of high and pop culture.
Throughout your career, you’ve also examined how role playing games work. Back in 1994, your essay “The Hidden Art: Slouching Towards A Critical Framework for RPGs,” was a call to arms for players, designers and GMs to look critically at rpgs as a new artform. In the 21 years since then a lot of pixels have been burned talking about rpgs. You've made influential contributions, such as Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering and the insights in Hamlet's Hitpoints. What concepts and ideas of others do you find have contributed to play and design?
R: Criticism by gamers can fall into the trap of not being descriptive but rather proscriptive. A lot of critiques really operate as disguised manifestos for the writer’s preferred play style or design focus. The things I most value work to find a vocabulary to refine and spread practical play techniques in a way that makes game sessions better. So for example whoever* nailed down the concept of failing forward in its RPG sense deserves a huge amount of gratitude on the part of gamerdom. [NB: Here is a nice summary of Failing Forward.] But I have to admit that I don't spend a ton of time following role-playing criticism. This is a comment not on its importance but on the ever-escalating time demands facing a full-time freelance creator in today’s incessantly connected environment.
*R: The Twitter hivemind can’t quite agree and I am loath to misattribute.
In your 1994 essay, you made some predictions that have come true: Jungian game analysis is actually being done by Sarah Lynne Bowman and Whitney Beltrán; the issue of how game mechanics affect the narrative in a game has been a well-traveled path in indie game design; and the ghost of Goethe’s three questions for the art critic (What is the artist trying to do? How well is it done? Was it worth doing?) haunts Jared Sorenson, Luke Crane and John Wick’s Big Three (or four) Questions about game design: (What is your game about? How is your game about that? What behavior does your game encourage or reward? and How do you make this fun?). Are there other elements of “The Hidden Art” that you’d like to see followed up, or new directions you think we could go today?
R: In the early days of any new form or movement the artists and the critics are often the same people. This is because if you're doing something new the people making the new thing are the only ones qualified to form a vocabulary around it. For example when Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and their circle were creating bebop they had to come up with a new iteration of jazz talk in order to discuss it with each other. In a mature field you need and want a distance between the practitioner and the critic. We're starting to see that happen with people coming at tabletop from an academic point of view. This is a maturation I’m happy to see, so we’re getting more than people trying to either justify their game designs or to confer legitimacy on their preferred play style. When I wrote that essay that wasn't really happening: its point was to predict and encourage it. Now that it is happening it would be self-contradictory of me as a practitioner to tell the new wave of academics what to look at. Though if someone wants to be the Northrop Frye of interactive narrative I’m down with that.
What conventions, festivals or online communities do you most enjoy? Which are your favorite for discussion of games and game design?
R: I go to Gen Con and Dragonmeet every year. As I don’t need to tell you, being a guest at a mid-scale European con has much to recommend it. I don't spend a lot of time online discussing games and game design. My main outlet for that sort of thing is the podcast discussions I have with Ken every week.
Robin D. Laws designed the GUMSHOE investigative roleplaying system, including such games as The Esoterrorists and Ashen Stars. Among his other acclaimed RPG credits are Feng Shui and HeroQuest. Robin is the Creative Director of Stone Skin Press and has edited such fiction anthologies as The New Hero, Shotguns v. Cthulhu, and The Lion and the Aardvark: Aesop's New Fables. You can hear more of Robin's thoughts and game insights at his podcast with Kenneth Hite: Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff.

Thursday night MACtion on the campus of Kent State, as the Toledo Rockets stay in the state of Ohio in Week 12 of the college football schedule. It’s beyond me how this year is moving this fast. Bowl season is almost here, and it feels like we just opened the season a couple of weeks ago. It certainly doesn’t feel like we’re a week away from the final week of the regular season. Then we have conference championships and the Army-Navy game before the bowls.
Bowl season provides college football nearly everyday through the holiday season, so it’s not all that bad. Toledo needs another win to get to 6 wins on the year and an invite to a bowl game. They’ll wrap up the season against Central Michigan in the final week. Depending on how other teams do who are in a similar position, the Rockets may get passed over if they finish 6-6. Note that one of their wins was against Virginia Military early in the first week of the season, a non-FBS team.
Toledo are favorites against Kent State on Thursday and likely are going to be favorites against Central, so it shouldn’t have to go down to a 6 win record. Kent State were an embarrassment in the MAC last season, as they finished with a mark of 2-10. They’ve been more competitive in 2018, but are in danger of finishing with the same record.
They’re in all likelihood heading to a 2-10 final record. With a matchup against Eastern Michigan next week, they’ll need to pull an upset in the next two weeks to get to 3 wins and exceed their performance from last season. However, they accomplished something in the sense that they made something out of games this year. They lost by a point in overtime to Akron, 24-23, and a point to Ohio, 27-26. Last season Kent State didn’t have many answers. They have more of a quarterback at quarterback, rather than a running back, so the offense has been better.
They used a variation of the option a year ago, where they sent a wide receiver in motion often. It didn’t work much at all, but they had no QB to air it out or do anything to fool defenses. Auburn transfer Woody Barrett has taken the majority of the snaps in 2018, but was benched against Buffalo last week in favor of Dustin Crum. Nevertheless, Barrett has given the Kent State a quarterback who can at least stand in there and complete a pass. Head below for our free Toledo vs. Kent State for Thursday night in the MAC.
Barrett has thrown 10 touchdowns and 8 interceptions with a 59.8% completion. That doesn’t look great or even good, but compared to what they were doing offensively last season, that’s a big improvement. Barrett figures to improve for next season as well. Instead of in the bottom 100 teams in college football, Kent State are 94th with 372 yards per game. The passing game is averaging 202 yards per game. In other words, there is still a lot of work left to do, but there are improvements despite their record. They are coming off a blowout loss to Buffalo last week, 48-14.
The Rockets suffered a 38-15 loss against Northern Illinois last week, so neither school have much momentum going into Thursday night. Kent State are losers in seven of their last eight games. Their only win in the MAC came against Bowling Green two weeks ago. The other victory was vs Howard in Week 2. For Toledo, they just ran into a really good defense last week.
Northern Illinois boasts a talented defense, so it wasn’t surprising to see Toledo struggle. With Mitch Guadagni out with a shoulder injury, first-year player Eli Peters has been getting some valuable experience. He has been with Toledo for two years, but hadn’t thrown a pass before this season. Peters threw for a touchdown and no interceptions against the Huskies. Wide Receiver Diontae Johnson is going to have more fun against the Kent State defense than Northern Illinois. Toledo have averaged 439 yards per game for 39th in the FBS and 38.6 points scored for 14th.
Peters is going to find it easier to find yardage against a Kent State defense who are 118th in the nation. The Golden Flashes have struggled defending the pass and run, so look for Toledo to establish a ground game with Bryant Koback and Art Thompkins, then Peters connecting across the middle of the field. A major issue for Kent State offensively has been protecting Barrett behind the line of scrimmage. He has been getting smoked with 36 sacks. That is 3.6 sacks per game, 126th in the FBS.
This isn’t a team who passed the ball at all last season, so the offensive line has had issues adjusting to pass protection. Note that the Rockets can get after the quarterback, with 25 sacks for 36th in the FBS. Look for Toledo to get back on track at Kent State. I think the odds makers are a few points too short with this line. A 38-17 final or thereabout looks likely, so -13 on Toledo is a solid play in the MAC on Thursday night.

Home » Biology » What Can You Do With A Kinesiology Degree?
Kinesiology is the study of movement, usually of the human body. It is also commonly referred to as human kinetics. What can you do with a kinesiology degree? Depending on how you focus your studies, you can be anything from a college football coach to a massage therapist. This article describes three school programs as well as a list of career possibilities for people who graduate from high school with the intent of pursuing further education in kinesiology.
Kinesiology, the study of human and animal physical activity, is made up of various areas of science in which you can focus your studies in order to build the skills necessary to travel down your desired career path. These sciences include but are not limited to ones listed below. You can also click on the links to define and find out more about how you can earn degrees in these specific sciences.
Discover scholarship opportunities to help you get college credits for FREE!
If you are interested in earning a degree in kinesiology, then you should begin by applying to accredited college programs early in your senior year of high school. During your high school years, focus on subjects like biology and psychology. This will give you a good base of knowledge to work from when you move on to higher areas of study. If you want to pursue schooling beyond an undergraduate degree, take into consideration both bachelor degree programs and master degree programs when applying to schools. Don’t stress if you’re not sure about whether you want to attend graduate school to earn your masters and/or doctoral degree in kinesiology or a related field; you have plenty of time to decide.
Temple University’s Department of Kinesiology offers a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training for undergraduate students. In the kinesiology program, students can focus on specific concentrations such as Pre-Health Professions and Exercise and Sport Science. For graduate students looking to further their education, this public research school offers a Master of Science in Kinesiology as well as a Doctor of Philosophy in Kinesiology in which students can focus on specific concentrations such as Psychology of Human Movement as well as Athletic Training. In addition to talented faculty, Temple University’s newly renovated research labs provide students with excellent hands-on experience in specific concentrations of kinesiology, as well. Temple has a thriving student life on campus and offers many opportunities to students pursuing both bachelor and master degrees.
Located in Nacogdoches, TX, Stephen F. Austin State University’s Department of Kinesiology and Health Science offers students the opportunity to earn bachelor degrees in everything from kinesiology to physical education for undergraduates. Graduate students can explore athletic training opportunities or choose to earn a Master of Science in Kinesiology, with courses in everything from exercise physiology to sports nutrition to research and analysis. Students can also gain both clinical and field experience in the university’s Human Performance Lab.
New Mexico State University offers a bachelors degree in kinesiology with the intention of preparing students to further their education in kinesiology or a related field, such as allied health. Undergraduate students can choose specific concentrations like Exercise Science, Business Administration, and Performance Psychology to enhance their educational experience and better prepare them for the careers they plan to pursue. The kinesiology program and requirements at New Mexico State University is recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as an Educationally Recognized Program in Strength and Conditioning, so students’ resumes are particularly impressive with the addition of whatever certifications students decide to complete in addition to their bachelors degree in kinesiology.
If you are a US citizen and are considering studying abroad, Canada has a wide variety of universities with graduate and undergraduate kinesiology programs (list here).
Can You Get An Online Kinesiology Degree?
It is very rare to find a fully online bachelors kinesiology program vs an offline or mixed degree due to the fact that the course requirements usually require hands-on experiences such as lab work, residencies, training and other forms of course work that will help get you ready for a career. If you are serious about this field, enrolling in a physical location is your best bet for success. But, there are still some programs such as that of California Baptist University that allow for you to get an online bachelors degree in kinesiology.
As far as a master’s degree is concerned, there are many online graduate programs available – such as the one at ATSU – or you can apply for courses that would get you a general certification in the sports, exercise, personal training, or kinesiology field (Certified Health Education Specialist).
Once you earn your degree in kinesiology, whether a bachelors, masters, or doctoral degree, a multitude of career options will become available to you.
With a bachelors degree and educational experience in kinesiology, you may qualify for one or more of the job positions described here.
Massage therapists soothe muscle aches and pains and relieve muscular tension in clients by putting pressure repeatedly on the affected muscles in slow and strategic motions. Clients see massage therapists for relaxation purposes or to help improve health of muscular tissue. It is important that massage therapists become familiar with their clients’ medical histories as well as any current health issues in order to determine the best treatment techniques. Massage therapists do not necessarily need any higher education aside from becoming licensed within the state, but it is incredibly beneficial to have a degree in kinesiology in order to demonstrate your understanding of the human muscular system.
Jobs as a massage therapist can earn over $25,000 annually, based on their knowledge and experience.

The Collie is a large, lean, strong dog. The top of the skull is flat and the eyebrows are arched. The head is wedge-shaped and the muzzle is rounded, tapering to the black nose, with a slight stop. The face is chiseled. The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. The medium-sized eyes are almond shaped. Eye color is dark brown except for blue merles, where the eyes may be blue or be one of each color. The small ears are 3/4 erect with the tips folding forward. The neck is fairly long. The body is slightly longer than it is tall. The legs are straight. The tail is moderately long with an upward twist or swirl at the end and is carried low. There are two coat varieties, rough and smooth. The rough coat is long and abundant all over the body, but is shorter on the head and legs, and the coat forms a mane around the neck and chest. The outer coat is straight and harsh to the touch, and the undercoat is soft and tight. The smooth coat variety has a short one-inch coat all over the body. Coat colors on both the rough and smooth variety include sable and white, tricolor of black, white and tan, blue merle or predominantly white with sable, tricolor or blue merle markings.
The Collie is a highly intelligent dog. Sensitive, mild-mannered, sweet, easy to train and loyal, it is usually good with other pets and friendly with other dogs. They are natural herders; puppies may try and herd humans, and need to be taught not to do this. Faithful, playful, docile and protective of their family members and good with children, Collies have an uncanny sense of direction. They are good-natured, friendly dogs. They are energetic outdoors. Socialize them well to prevent them from becoming wary of strangers. They are not aggressive, but they do tend to be suspicious of people they sense unstable vibes from. Daily pack walks are important. Without a firm, but calm, confident and consistent owner who sets the rules and sticks to them, they can become willful, stubborn and indolent. This breed should be trained gently, but with an air of authority or he will refuse to cooperate. A clean breed, the Collie is relatively easy to housebreak. Some owners report that rough Collies do not like the water due to how heavy their coats get when wet. We have seen clips on the Internet of rough Collies swimming, however, so while a lot may not, it’s never an absolute. Some smooth Collies have become successful at water rescue.
Generally healthy dogs. Some lines are prone to PRA, eye defects (Collie eye syndrome) and hip problems leading to acute lameness and arthritis. Collies may need sunblock on their nose as they are often sensitive to the sun. Some herding dogs carry a MDR1 gene which makes them sensitive to certain drugs that are otherwise okay to give another dog, but if tested positive for this gene can kill them.
The Collie needs plenty of exercise, which includes a daily, long walk. In addition, they would enjoy some romps off the leash in a safe area.
The stiff coat sheds dirt readily and a thorough weekly brushing will keep it in good condition. Take extra care when the soft, dense undercoat is being shed. The smooth variety has a one-inch coat and should be brushed each one to two weeks. If the long-coated variety has a BIG mat, and the dog is not being used for show, the mat may need to be cut out, as opposed to combed out, as to avoid pain to the dog. Bathe or dry shampoo as necessary. The rough Collie sheds heavily twice a year, and the smooth Collie is an average shedder.
The exact origin of the Collie is unknown, but it was descended from generations of hard-working herding dogs. For centuries the rough-coated Collie was hardly known outside Scotland. Early rough Collies were smaller, with broader heads and shorter muzzles. The dogs were used for water rescue, herders, guiding cows and sheep to market and for guarding the flock in Scotland and England. The breed’s name probably comes from its charge; the Scottish black-faced sheep called the Colley. In the 1860s Queen Victoria kept Collies at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, making the dogs very popular. J.P. Morgan, along with other wealthy people, has owned Collies. In the late 1800s the Collie was mixed with the Borzoi, and all show dogs had to have the Borzoi blood for them to win in the show ring. The working dogs separated, branched out and became the different breeds (with the Scotch Collie remaining) and the show type became what we see now, the large dogs with flatter faces. The rough Collie is much more popular than the smooth Collie. The smooth Collie is more popular in Great Britain than it is in the United States, but is gaining some popularity in the States. The smooth Collie is the same as the rough Collie, but without the long coat. The AKC considers the rough and smooth Collies as variations on the same breed and they are judged by the same standard with the exception of the coat. The first Collie was presented at a dog show in 1860. The Collie was recognized by the AKC in 1885. The Collie is well known for its role in the movie “Lassie,” featuring a rough-coated Collie as the main character. The Collie’s talents include herding, search and rescue, guide for the blind, agility, competitive obedience, acting in the movies, and as a guard and watchdog.

Suit Up, Show Up, and Shut Up – Three wise words shared with Mothers of the Groom for wedding planning and etiquette. A friend whose son was getting married recently shared this with me. I had heard it before but had forgotten the teaching. It sounds cruel but it has merit in the situation. After all, weddings are for the Brides, right?
As this triplet rang in my ears, I realized there is a leadership teaching in here too. In a world of complex managerial challenge and voids of bonafide leadership, the ways executives and business owners conduct themselves takes center stage. These three gems just might hold some valuable truth.
When you are in a position of authority, you have to suit up every day. I don’t mean dress slacks and ties or dresses, I mean putting on your full wardrobe of talent and experience. You just can’t leave anything behind. Forgetting about the knowledge and experience you bring to the job can be fatal. You have to be prepared.
You must be willing to get ready for each and every day. You owe it to your team to come to the office or the plant as fully decked out in mental clarity, emotional energy, and technical skill as you can.
It can be tiring. It can be boring. You might even be tempted to “call it in” every so often. But if you do, you will have personally taken some air out of the room. Your people will know it.
Your team counts on you whether you believe that or not. Consciously or subconsciously they want their leader present. Presence has to be physical and emotional. You have to be connected.
As the moments of the day tick away, you need to be present in each of those moments. The best leadership doesn’t happen at big meetings or forums, it happens in the next minute when someone who works with you needs a question answered or asks for guidance. Great leadership is in those moments.
You don’t need to know it all. Rely on the people who surround you. Ask questions but don’t direct everything. You can guide but don’t dictate. Encourage rather than condemn.
There’s an old saying “it takes ten atta-boys to make up one OH s*&$t!” Your people will respond better to a level-headed discussion rather than harsh critique.
Work to be more of a listener rather than a talker. Use an empathetic ear when your team is talking to you. Either in group settings or one-on-one, be the one who listens more than talks. Measure your words and speak wisely when you do speak.
Find ways to turn issues into learning experiences. Yes, you may have to occasionally take a hard line, but that should be the exception rather than the rule.
Suit up, show up and shut up – yes it sounds harsh, especially to Moms who are marrying off their precious sons. At work though, these can be some of the most powerful truths to live by. When you violate any or all of these principles you will find your team or your business operating a level much below your expectation. The problem won’t be your team. It might be YOU.

Planning and managing your company events involves shouldering a significant burden—you have prime responsibility for ensuring overall health and safety. That means you are inevitably culpable for any event-related health and safety failings. Avoid buckling under the pressure by following some easy-to-adopt guidance.
Before you start planning, you should set realistic limits. Decide on an appropriate level of planning detail that matches the event’s scale and degree of risk. Establishing such limits early on helps you avoid overlooking important health and safety hazards or bogging yourself down in unimportant minutiae.
After imposing these boundaries, choose a dedicated team to assist with your various duties. Assess your strengths and weaknesses and cherry-pick a team that can provide support in the areas where you feel weakest. Defer to your organisation’s health and safety policy for help assigning health and safety responsibilities to your teammates. Most organisations always assign certain positions the same health and safety responsibilities to ensure consistency.
Event planning can be a massive undertaking. Rely on Bollington Risk Management to help bear some of your burden with our expertise and extensive resources.

Despite the popular, often negative, representations of food consumption in the United States, the organic food industry has actually been growing at a rate of 25% per year since 2000. A proportionate increase in land farmed under certified organic management has been seen during the same period.
Sustainable farming in Washington State, in the United State’s Pacific Northwest, developed from those experimenting with alternative lifestyles in the 1970’s. A core group of people committed to growing food in a sustainable way and using organic methods grew quickly into a movement and by the mid 1980’s, farmers across the Washington State had collaborated to determine organic standards.
Today Washington State has nearly 800 certified organic farms with a dedicated team of inspectors who regulate organic standards. Organic acreage has increased eightfold in twenty years and the organic food industry is valued at over US $200 million per year in Washington State. Organic farms create sustainable employment and have positive repercussions for rural communities. The Washington State model has been replicated throughout the United States.
Anna Mia Davidson’s Stewards Of The Land documents both the farms and people who have been responsible for this resurgence in sustainable farming. The aspiration of those who have spearheaded this movement is to create a positive model for farming which works in harmony with the land, rather than exploiting it.
Anna’s painterly portraits capture quiet, simple moments while bearing witness to the positive changes enabled by this movement. Anna believes that agriculture is a common link shared between every nation on earth and a bond that marks our similarities. Despite cultural, educational, and familial differences, the farmers documented in this photo essay have a common thread that unites them with a movement extending far beyond their corner of the United States.
Uncultivated wild farmland in the Snoqualmie Valley in Washington State where many organic farms have been established since the 1980’s.
An old farm truck rests under a large chestnut tree at Jubilee Farm, near Carnation in Washington State. Jubilee is a 230 acre biodynamic farm, with only eight acres of actively cultivated land of fruits and vegetables, owned and operated by farmers Erik and Wendy Hawkensen since 1995.
Jubilee aims to increase the land’s production through nutrient recycling of the composted manure from their herd of 70 cows.
Nature’s Last Stand Farm near Fall City in Washington State is a 25 acre organic farm established in 1999 by John Huschle. Having studied environmental biology he dedicated himself to farming as a way to give back to the environment.
The family live in a yurt during the growing season and sell their produce alongside other organic farmers in mixed vegetable and fruit boxes.
Julie, with a wheel hoe, at Growing Things Farm, a certified organic farm located in the scenic Snoqualmie Valley, Washington State. Since 1991 the farm’s emphasis has been to create as little negative impact as possible, raising their animals in a responsible manner. Much of the labour at the farm utilises old farm equipment, which is worked by hand.
Eden Huschle, aged 2, lives on Nature’s Last Stand Farm, Carnation, Washington State, where she has grown up around farm life and knows the fields like the back of her hand.
She picks and eats vegetables and fruit straight from her family’s fields and claims Walla Walla sweet onions to be her favourite.
Oliva has grown up on Frog Song Farm near Mount Vernon. Oliva’s parents, Nate O’Neil and Shannon Dignum, have been farming organically since 2001 on their 16 acres of certified organic land. They use dry farming techniques to retain and nourish their farm without irrigation and specialise in 20 different varieties of heirloom potatoes.
Cathryn is owner of the 20-acre Summer Run Farm in Carnation, Washington State, where she has co-created a collective of women farmers called ‘Farm Girl’. Instead of competing for the same produce dollars with other women farmers at market farm stands, they have chosen to work and grow together.
Shidu Farm is a small family farm in Puyallup Valley, Washington State, specialising in organic blueberries. The Shidu berry pickers have a rich farming history dating back several generations both in the US and India. The farm’s produce is sold mainly through local organic shops and farmers markets.
Koa Lee is a Hmong farmer who uses sustainable agricultural practices, particularly organic farming, to grow flowers for sale in markets in Washington State. There is a large Hmong farming community in the Pacific Northwest, who originally came to the USA in the 1970’s as refugees from the war in Laos.
Amy milking one of the 25 dairy cows at Sea Breeze Farm, established on Vashon Island, Washington State, in 2000. The farm is dedicated to a sustainable ethos, incorporating positive animal husbandry into daily farming practices. The farmers at Sea Breeze are passionate about grass.
‘We want our animals to live, love, breathe, frolic, eat, and when the time comes, die in it; grass is green’.
Adam with a harvest bucket at Oxbow Farm, a 25-acre mixed produce farm, located in the Snoqualmie Valley, Washington State.
Their produce is grown with an emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility and is sold to restaurants, at farmers markets and to locals, who commit to buying fruit and vegetables on a weekly basis through the Community Supported Agriculture initiative.
Sarah Cassidy is co-founder of Oxbow Farm and now the Education Director. From the outset the farm has been committed to raising awareness of its organic methods. Since 2010 this has been formalised into a learning programme offering field trips to school groups, and summer camps and internships to young adults wishing to experience the farming life.
Tomato farmer Mike Monas at Pilchuk Tomato Farm.
Pilchuck is a small sustainable farm in Snohomish, Washington State.
The farm has been established since 1997 and sells tomatoes from the 2,000 plants grown in greenhouses, through farmers markets in Seattle.
Anna Mia Davidson is an American photographer based in Seattle, Washington. Photography has been Anna Mia’s passion for more than two decades, both as a tool to document the lives of diverse cultures and environmental issues as well as a medium for social change.
Anna works as a freelance photographer for many national and international publications as well as taking part in public arts projects. Anna’s photographs have been exhibited at a wide variety of galleries in the United States and Cuba and they feature in Zoelner Art Center’s permanent collection. Her work can also be seen in several book publications including: “American Character: A Photographic Journey”, “Fields That Dream: A Journey To The Roots Of Our Food” and “Local Vegetarian Cooking”.
After travelling to Cuba and discovering the world of sustainable farming, she turned her attention to documenting local organic farms in her own community in the Pacific Northwest, resulting in the exhibition Stewards Of The Land.

Stevenage manager Graham Westley has been nominated for the Sky Bet League 1 Manager of the Month Award for October.
The gaffer is nominated after Boro picked up three league wins in the month against Bradford, Crewe and Crawley. Also up for the award is Kenny Jackett (Wolves), Steven Pressley (Coventry City) and Russell Slade (Leyton Orient) with the winner announced this Friday.
The judging panel comprises former Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley; Sky Sports Football League expert Don Goodman; Football League Chief Operating Officer Andy Williamson; League Managers’ Director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet Head of Football Paul Wiggins.
Led his side through an unbeaten month, securing 10 points from four games, and has encouraged attacking play on their travels, winning at Colchester United and Bradford City. Has made Wolves fans believe in their team once again.
Guided his team through another stellar month, collecting 13 points from a possible 15, inflicting a first defeat on leaders Leyton Orient and drawing at Wolves to move his side relentlessly towards the play-off positions.
The question of how his side would react when they stopped winning every game was answered emphatically. Three wins and a draw from five games kept Orient top, underlining the deep-seated belief he has instilled.
Turned around Stevenage’s poor start to the season with three wins in the month, recording their first home victories of the season against Brentford and Crawley Town and making them difficult opponents once again.

I think this is a very important question and one which isn’t addressed enough on the travel blogs I’ve seen.
So far we have been to over 40+ countries, whether independently, as a couple or with our boys. The main reason for this is that we rarely go back to the same place twice… there’s so much more out there we haven’t seen!
My personal belief is there is a distinct difference between those countries we have ‘travelled’ to and those we visited for a holiday.
What do we do on holiday?
Whereas we are not the type to lie on a beach and order margaritas for 2 weeks, I do like some ‘down time’ when away. Travelling can be mentally draining at times and so sitting on a beach with a good book for a day can be great to recharge the batteries. Whereas Keith’s limit of ‘sitting’ is an hour.. tops! He is far more adventurous than I… as you’ll find out.
Where do we stay on holiday?
We tend to enjoy accommodation with a personal touch, such a b&b’s, apartments or small family run places. I would describe us as budget to mid-range travellers.
I follow a great website https://www.holidaypirates.com/ for holiday ideas or best deals around at the moment. Although sometimes a package deal can be cheaper than ‘doing it yourself’, if you are just after a holiday in the sun. My top tip is: if you want a cheap holiday – do your research and don’t just take the first deal offered!
Travelling by train or car is an amazing way to see the country you are in and offers opportunities to get off the beaten track so our travel is more varied. Overnight bus rides are going to be more difficult with children but if that’s the best way to travel then preparation will be key to getting through it.
What is the most important aspect of travelling?
Learning about the cultural differences is great to see & be involved with. It’s fantastic to have the opportunity to see different cultures and meet new people but their values, traditions and general outlook will largely be different to our own. We try to be respectful of this wherever we go and hope the children will learn to be understanding about this.
In taking the children with us on our gap year we hope that homeschooling while travelling will offer more learning and in a variety of ways.
I think this is fantastic and you and Keith are very brave. The home schooling part is something that always worries me so I’m looking forward to reading about how you find that part. I’m guessing you want to do this Pre high school or can you still home school a year 7/8 child?
I’m really like looking forward to reading about your prep and adventures when they begin.
Thanks Linda! We have been considering it for a while and thought – what’s stopping us!? Boys will be going into Year 4 & 5 when we leave and so that little bit older to allow us to be more adventurous (I hope!). It means we can also plan it with them and save as much as we can.
Yes, homeschooling was a concern but it’s so much easier nowadays, as everything is online. I work in a school now, so getting some insider tips on curriculum and looking at targets to help us keep focus on learning!
Next story Every adventure starts at home!

Tips on Preserving Today's Wedding Memories.
A good place to start is a traditional, time-tested keepsake: the wedding album. But how do you optimize photos’ heirloom potential? First, don’t limit yourself to a formal album professional pictures. You can give your descendants a real feel for the quirky circumstances, incidents and personalities that characterized the wedding—and your family—with a scrapbook or custom-designed photo book on a site such as MyCanvas or Snapfish. This allows you creative leeway in combining photos with scanned invitations, cards and clippings, and your personal stories. Plus you can design it any way you want.
Your best bet for lasting videos is to use a digital recorder with an external mic, make copies for storage and duplicate your clips in different media. When filming, take more footage than you might actually need (you can always cut out scenes later). Move slowly and take context shots (the guest book, the cake, the decorated tables) for perspective. <a href=”taping-tips” target=”_blank”>See our tips on using videocameras.
Want the best of both worlds? Combine photos and videos on a CD or DVD. You could do this yourself with video-editing software, or many wedding videography services will custom-design a digital wedding album using your shots and clips. They’re pricier than adding pictures to a book, but they carry a promise against deterioration, and you can buy copies for friends and family.
A wedding gown can be one of the most treasured mementos of the event—if it’s cared for properly. Start by minimizing damage to the dress before and during the wedding. Clean the frock soon afterwards—photos are better reminders of the cake cutting than icing stains— and store it following these tips.
Services such as the Wedding Gown Preservation Co. will clean, press and shape your dress in a “preservation chest” that displays the gown and veil through an acid-free window, then deliver it to your door. A company may offer a lifetime guarantee against yellowing, provided you store the gown properly. These services are sold through bridal shops, so prices vary by retailer.
Julie Gershman, owner of A Time To Remember Flower Preservation in Woodland, Calif., recommends treating live flowers with silica gel, spraying them with acrylic and presenting them in a shadow box. This article has do-it-yourself tips on drying and other flower-preservation methods; try out your method and have supplies ready to go before the wedding. Companies such as Suspended in Time will press and display your flowers for you; your florist also may offer this option.
This is an inexpensive way for forward-thinkers to capture their wedding memories for posterity. It’s easy to compile a collection of mementos that illustrate the wedding and symbolize the era. You can assemble your own with photos, the invitation, news clippings, messages from friends, etc. Or, for some guidance, The Original Time Capsule Co. sells a pre-assembled Our Wedding Time Capsule kit that includes a container, instruction manual, “letter to the future” stationery, seals and information the couple can fill out. The capsule retails for about $20.
