Carrie, welcome to the program.
01:12 Carrie Melissa Jones: Hey, it’s great to be here.
01:15 Patrick O’Keefe: It’s great to have you and thank you for supporting what we’ve been doing so far.
01:18 Carrie Melissa Jones: Absolutely. My pleasure.
01:20 Patrick O’Keefe: I really appreciate it. And on that note, congratulations on your recent promotion to COO of CMX.
01:25 Carrie Melissa Jones: Thank you. It’s a big step up.
01:27 Patrick O’Keefe: It’s a lot of three letter acronyms, not acronyms but three letters.
01:31 Carrie Melissa Jones: Absolutely, the more the merrier.
01:33 Patrick O’Keefe: So one thing I enjoy doing is giving pep talks to community professionals often in private. I don’t want people to sell themselves short, I don’t want people to fall into that imposter syndrome trap. I find that some people in our space write articles that essentially tell community professionals to doubt themselves and I try to be the counter balance. I try to encourage them to believe in themselves as corny as that must sound. I’ve written about this quite a bit and it seems like over the years, you and I have really connected around that topic and those pieces.
02:47 Carrie Melissa Jones: So other community professionals know this like, you’re absolutely right ’cause we hear that all the time, you should be doing this, you should be doing that, no matter which your profession you’re in, I think you hear those kinds of things a lot.
02:56 Patrick O’Keefe: That is really a funny story. And yes, there’s this pressure to kind of market. That it affects all businesses, but businesses that base themselves in education, sharing knowledge growing someone professionally. There’s this pressure to market themselves in a way that sounds really awesome. I think it’s tough to kind of balance that out, to not fall into whatever that person’s issue was, with the subscribe box, but also to communicate the value of your programs.
03:21 Carrie Melissa Jones: Right and I think, especially, if you look at how a lot of startup content is written, you see a lot of these stories, “This is how we did it, you should do it too. We’ve got 40,000 Twitter followers by doing this thing.” It doesn’t work for everybody and that’s often inauthentic and unsustainable.
03:37 Patrick O’Keefe: The reason I brought up kind of the idea of not selling yourself short is because credit is going to be a big theme on this episode of Community Signal. In December, you wrote an article about giving away credit, and how it could impact the advancement of your career, about the balance between praising the community and also promoting your own work, how do we find that balance?
04:14 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah. I think it’s this constant give and take between the community professional and the work that we do day in and day out. It’s like a lot of times thankless work and tiring work, emotionally exhausting work, and then the work that our community members do, at what point do we stop being humble and start taking a little bit of credit for the hours and hours that we spend doing this work?
04:38 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah, and it’s hard because you cited a piece I’ve wrote in there about how my job is to shift praise away from me and I do believe that. I believe that, I think that core to a lot of community building is taking the spotlight that, if you wanna put it that way, that is sometime cast on the community manager or the community professional and directing that wherever you can, but there also is a time and a place to represent the value that you bring to the business. And I think where I draw the line, where I kinda see a reasonable place to draw it is that in the community, you praise the community.
05:08 Patrick O’Keefe: But, when you’re talking about your career, you’re talking with your bosses, the people who are responsible for your raises, your job or interviewing for a job with other people. It’s important to have the facts of the things you’ve accomplished. This community you started, what did it do? Or how did it grow the business? How much more did community members spend? Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, so it’s important to have that information not just to demonstrate the ROI of community, but also to demonstrate the work that you do as a professional because those numbers you can take wherever you go.
05:44 Patrick O’Keefe: We’re not that old.
05:46 Patrick O’Keefe: Don’t make it sound that old, you’re younger than me I think, and I’m not that old.
05:49 Carrie Melissa Jones: But I mean people who have been working maybe out of the, in the workforce for maybe one to two years even who are just now getting their start in entry level community positions and so happy to have their passion in this industry, but I think there’s just… For anyone new to any profession, it can be really hard to sell your contribution, there’s that imposter syndrome feeling. And I think, without getting too political about it, or I like to shake things up [chuckle], like why not stir the pot?
07:13 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah, I think that’s a great point and it’s… I don’t know, how do we… So someone who’s new when they’re feeling that way, “What do I take credit for? What do I don’t” I don’t know… For me I would say find a strong mentor, or find people and align yourself with people who have done what you wanna do, and find out how they got there or ask them for their input on it if you’re feeling a certain way; maybe the feelings are justified, perhaps they’re not, but find that person who’s on that path. For me personally, and obviously I’m a man, but my feeling on the type of situation where your boss doesn’t value you is to leave, if you can, right? To find an opportunity where you are valued. And like I said, I talk to community professionals a lot just like you do, and I run into these people who do doubt themselves, and sometimes for good reasons. I doubt myself everyday. Honestly, I doubt myself I think in the morning the most, when I get up. Which is a weird feeling, because it’s like you get up, you’re ready to tackle the day, and that’s when I doubt myself. I usually go to bed confident, wake up feeling like I’m garbage.
08:10 Carrie Melissa Jones: I’m the exact opposite. That’s really interesting.
08:13 Patrick O’Keefe: Well, we’ll spend some time together. You can visit me in the morning, I’ll visit you at night and we can just kind of counter-balance. Because it’s a tough thing. And it’s easy to say, especially, I try to temper everything I say with the understanding that some people have kids, and they have commitments and they can’t just leave a job. I’m single, I don’t have any dependents, I can be flexible in this area where I can say, “You know what? No,” or “You know what? I’m gonna leave.” But I think that’s the ideal, is to always align yourself with people who do support you and do credit you. And I think… I wanna believe that most of the great leaders, anyone I would think to be a great leader in this world, is doing that.
08:47 Carrie Melissa Jones: I absolutely believe that having strong mentors, or even peers, but it’s better to have a good spread of people from all different backgrounds and experience levels, so having someone who’s a little bit more experienced, is key in understanding this and that’s why it’s really, really important to be part of a community for community professionals if you have the time to do so. Yeah, I started doing these office-hour calls with our CMX members, the vast majority of which are women, and I’m seeing this being echoed across-the-board. I feel like I’m not doing enough. I feel like I don’t know how to start… Where do I begin reporting? What do I even report on? And that’s a whole other issue. I could talk about business value community and community measurements and KPIs all day, but there’s definitely this sense of where do I begin, and I think just talking to someone else whose been in your shoes, often times you’ll get a little bit unstuck, and it really is just about, as with anything, you just start somewhere.
10:15 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah. No, it’s really hard. It’s really, really hard. I often will actually catch myself thinking I’m not doing enough, and then I’ll feel bad that I thought that I wasn’t doing enough, and so I go down this cycle. You just have to say, “It’s okay that I feel like I’m not doing enough,” but you do have to step back. ‘Cause I’ve been working from home now, or quirky spaces, coffee shops in Seattle for about a year, almost a year and a half, it can be really hard to know when enough is enough, and again, it helps to have a community of people around you who tell you to stop or who can be good examples of what is okay. But even when I was working full-time I would still often feel that way. I was commuting four hours a day and still felt like I wasn’t… If I was on the train and not working on my commute that I wasn’t being an effective employee.
11:04 Carrie Melissa Jones: So yeah, I’m pretty intense when it comes to my work because I care about it so much, I guess.
11:11 Patrick O’Keefe: Heather Sarsons is a PhD student in economics and a doctoral fellow in the Harvard Kennedy School’s Multidisciplinary Program on Inequality and Social Policy. In December, she released a working paper analyzing the academic publishing records over the last 40 years for young economists who were then recruited by major universities. Sarsons was looking to see what, if any impact this had on those economists being offered tenure at the university. She found that when a paper was authored only by one person, the likelihood of being offered tenure was similar between men and women; a 9% boost for women, an 8% boost for men, but when the research was co-authored there was a disparity; male co-authors were 8% more likely to be offered tenure, where women only saw a 2% gain. When collaborating with other women, a female co-author received a 9% boost, whereas collaborating with a man recruited in… no impact.
12:01 Patrick O’Keefe: Conversely a man collaborating with other men saw a 7% boost, and a 6% boost when co-authoring a paper with a woman. Sarsons also studied the data tied to sociology papers and did not find this sort of disparity, this could be due to the fact with sociology papers authors tend to be listed in order of the size of their contribution, rather than in alphabetic order, as is the case with economics papers or because there are more women in sociology as economics professor Justin Wolfers wrote on The New York Times’ The Upshot blog. This definitively seems like the type of thing that varies by space and obviously leader but how can we make sure women are receiving credit for their contributions within our communities.
12:41 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, when I read this it kinda confirms everything that I’ve ever experienced in my career, especially in… even in community but before that as well this idea that when women work with other women we are given equal credit in our communities but when we work with men, it’s not that the men steal credit, it’s just that there is an unconscious bias that often happens from people that see the work of women working with other men, and they just might discount it, like you said, it does vary by industry, and I’m hoping that’s maybe not so true in communities and I think actually that in communities and in community when you’re seeing movements happening, I mentioned the Black Lives Matter movement, women are working with other women to really buoy each other up and really lift each other up and give each other credit.
13:29 Carrie Melissa Jones: I think that’s so, so important in a female dominated industry like community that women, when you get up to the top as you are raising through the ranks, bring other people up with you who maybe don’t have the same privilege that you might have experienced or that others above you might have experienced. I think there’s a lot to be said for being a mentor yourself throughout your career, no matter which stage of your career that you are in. I think that communities give us the space to really identify those up and comers too, that were harder to identify, these silent organizations or in just times when it wasn’t as easy to discover people as it is now with the internet being the way that it is.
14:06 Patrick O’Keefe: If someone is managing a community, and let’s say they are a man, so they see this and they say, “Yes, this is bad, I don’t want that.” What are some things that they should look for or be wary of, not just regarding themselves but also within the community itself, and managing the community and how they interact with people, how they spotlight people. What are some things that they can do to kind of address this disparity?
14:30 Carrie Melissa Jones: That’s a really good question. And actually you are not the first man in community to ask me this question. And I think that’s an amazing sign because we need male and female allies.
14:39 Patrick O’Keefe: Look, I’m not asking for me. I’m great, I’ve got this. You don’t have to worry about me. I’m just kidding, go ahead, sorry.
14:45 Carrie Melissa Jones: I think what’s actually dangerous is why it’s so important to ask questions and to invite conversation around this, and to not be afraid of talking about it, is because unconscious bias is a real thing, and that’s what this paper is really addressing, is that there is unconscious bias around us at every turn, we can’t help it. It’s just the way that culture has risen us up in different ways and the way that we are socialized. So yeah, I would say male or female, regardless of how you identify gender-wise, I live in Seattle so we are very gender conscious here, so I’m very careful about the terms I use. Regardless of who you are as a leader of the community, it’s important to just check your bias, check your privilege at every turn, I think that’s important for everyone to do at all times actually, it’s just a good way to live.
15:30 Carrie Melissa Jones: And obviously there’s a lot to be said for gut reactions and things like that but sometimes your gut is going to lead you down the wrong path of that unconscious bias in saying, “oh, men are more likely to… ” If you look at studies of kids in school, men are more likely to raise their hands and answer questions and there could be women who are contributing in very valuable ways that maybe you are not seeing, this also happens on teams of developers, they found that a lot of female developers end up doing the, “coding housework,” they call it, which I’m not crazy about. It’s being called that because it’s not housework it’s incredibly valuable contribution that they are doing about like cleaning code and making sure things are in order.
16:49 Patrick O’Keefe: Meaningful way.
16:50 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah.
16:51 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah, and so it sounds like one thing to do is to be sure to always look past the loudest people. The people who are making the most noise, you can extrapolate that however you want, the people with the most posts. The people with the most whatever. [chuckle] And it’s worth it to spend time to think about the diversity of contributors within your community in all areas, whether that be contributing content, whether that be welcoming people, whether that be… Whatever. I’m doing a very community centric example, but the point is communities have all these components; small and large, doing all these things that make the larger thing work. And it goes beyond the manager or the person responsible, because it’s all these people for the most part usually that are just contributors, just people who are in the community, who are lifting each other up. It’s important to go and really look for the people who are maybe not as loud, maybe not as recognized by their people. Maybe they didn’t win the award this year, in the community awards, maybe they didn’t get the most thank you points, right. The most like button hits or whatever, but to make sure you are making that effort, I think that seems like a small thing, I don’t know if it’s small though, but it seems like something that could be done to recognize people who maybe aren’t as likely to raise their hand as you put it.
18:17 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, I don’t know how I feel about that. The women weren’t nominating themselves for promotions. It’s an internal community this company, but when a female manager wrote personal e-mails to the female employees saying “I think you should nominate yourself.” Then the women stepped up at the same rate than the men did to nominate themselves. “You know what I am doing that work, I should take credit for it.” You need to be sort of like the shepherd in that situation saying like “Hey I think you actually have some really valuable insight here, you should contribute to this conversation.” And do that to people who’s voices are a little quieter in the community. It’s really important that they don’t get drowned out and feel unseen and unheard.
18:57 Patrick O’Keefe: You know, that’s a really good point and, applies to so many things. It reminds me of the fact just in communities, I never want the people who tell me they want to join the team.
19:06 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah.
19:06 Patrick O’Keefe: The people who volunteer without anybody asking, I always think “well I don’t know.” But most of the people that we invite on to join us are people who would not put themselves forward, would not bother. And I think, if you really wanna build a great anything, a great team, a great speaking line up, whatever. It kinda behooves you not to just limit yourself to here’s a form, enter your name, press submit. If you truly wanna build great teams and build great collections of people. You really have to go out and identify people and seek them out yourself and reach out to them yourself. Because if you’re really only going on the people who come to you, your limiting yourself far too much to the point where you are not fielding the greatest team possible.
19:48 Carrie Melissa Jones: That’s completely true. You have to actually do the work, I’m sorry.
20:25 Carrie Melissa Jones: And so, I think a lot of tactics that people have taken, saying like “well, women should step up, they should do what men do, which is, go out and apply for all these speaking opportunities or apply for opportunities, like promotions and new jobs.” But the truth is that a lot of women, they are not socially encouraged to do that most of their lives. So you have to actually pull them out, and it’s important to do that for any kind of quieter voice in your community.
20:50 Patrick O’Keefe: It’s really interesting to me how online communities factor into these discussions, because most of them a large portion of them, are anonymous or pseudonymous communities where people really choose what they want to disclose. They can even make it up even if we encourage honesty. We don’t know what their gender is unless they self identify, even if we might know or guess based on their username, that can obviously be wrong. They are just a username on a screen unless they choose to share more. This covers not only gender but race, age, geographic location, sexual orientation, their politics, their religion, what have you. A lot of the ways that we define and divide people in society, we just can’t do that because we don’t have that information. What has often happened in my communities is that people are judged based on their posts alone. The ways that people are recognized whether that be a simple appreciation from a fellow member or a more formalized community program or being invited to join a volunteer staff. It’s really all based on their contributions and I know I’ve certainly invited people to join our staff without knowing their name let alone their gender. So the world of community is kind of, I don’t know it’s just kinda interesting to me to think about that.
22:00 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, definitely, because you can be whoever you wanna be behind a screen.
22:05 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah, good and bad.
22:06 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, absolutely, I think about that a lot. If you look at Tumblr as well, you don’t know who people are. That’s a huge community, of people there who just connect over different topics and you don’t know what gender they are or what race they are. It’s really the content that matters so all that kinda fades to the background in those situations.
22:27 Patrick O’Keefe: When we talk about commitment curves, climbing the ladder and building deeper connections between the community and it’s members. It’s so important in my mind to recognize that people leave for good or at least perfectly normal reasons. It’s almost like understanding that friends can grow apart or that death is a part of life. If fighting it is, is a losing battle at times and taking it as a failing isn’t healthy. You wrote an article, What Do Your Community Members Dream of Becoming?, where you talked about celebrating churn.
22:54 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, I think that really in the communities that we’re building we should be thinking about what do people actually want from their lives? As a community builder it can be your job to help people realize their dreams, and I know that sounds really cheesy. [chuckle] That’s how I am able to sleep so well at night because, I know that the work that I do is actually getting people to step up and move forward towards something that they really believe in and dream about. So, yeah. I think it’s really important that we not try to hold on to all of our community members. The example that I talked about in that article was actually Alex Hillman, he has a podcast himself called Coworking Weekly. Which is I think is ironically not a weekly podcast. [chuckle] But he was talking about how members graduate from his co-working space and how they actually have parties and they celebrate turnover basically. And it was the same thing too at Chegg, I worked with a lot of academic experts. A lot of them were kind of doing the work freelance while they figured out, I have a degree in, one of the guys had a degree in, a PhD in physics or something, and he actually had lunch with him one day and he talked to me about how Back To The Future wasn’t that unrealistic scientifically.
24:09 Patrick O’Keefe: I like the optimism.
24:10 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, I know. It’s 2016, we’re one year past the 2015 mark in that movie.
24:16 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah, and we got hover boards.
24:18 Carrie Melissa Jones: We did.
24:18 Patrick O’Keefe: Thank goodness. They’re more harmful to us than anyone else.
24:23 Carrie Melissa Jones: Right, right. [chuckle] Yeah, so we would celebrate though when they would get full-time jobs. We would obviously lose them in the community, they were too busy to come back and help students anymore, but the truth is they were a lot happier. They would be able to be surrounded in person by people who cared about what they cared about, and they were able to take the next step in their careers, really. So I think it’s always important as a community leader to be thinking about, “What’s the next step after my community? Where do people go after this?” So it kind of varies based on what you’re building your community around. It could be an education community, and people are physically graduating out of the education system going into the working world or contributing to the world in other ways.
25:03 Carrie Melissa Jones: Or if you’re building, I think I also used the example in that post of somebody using an app like Depop, which I actually don’t know is around anymore, I could be wrong, but using an app like selling their clothes on an app or something like that. What is that person actually dreaming of becoming? Maybe they want to become Instagram models. I won’t judge, you do you. Or maybe they want to become the founder of ModCloth and open their own online store, something like that. So it’s really important to think about at all turns, like, “How can I help my community members become better versions of themselves?” I think that’s a great way to just look at your job in general. That’s the ultimate top of the commitment curve there. They graduate from being a leader in your community to being just a leader out in the world, and they’ll always be ambassadors for what you did for them. If you want to look at the value of that, they will be advocates til the very end.
25:55 Patrick O’Keefe: That’s a fun way to look at it, that the top of the commitment curve is leaving. I love that, I think this is really a smart way to look at it because one thing I would always get frustrated by when I read articles about growing your membership and getting people to do more, is it’s almost like there’s no exit that’s good. It’s like, “You need to grab and hold on to people as long as we possibly can.” My goal was never to have a community that monopolized anybody’s personal time.
26:20 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah.
26:21 Patrick O’Keefe: I want people to have healthy lives, and so I think that sounds, like you said, corny or whatever and maybe doesn’t sound like the most serious, serious business type thing to say, but I think it’s really important to understand it, that your community exists on a path within life that people choose to get to something else.
26:39 Carrie Melissa Jones: Mm-hmm.
26:40 Patrick O’Keefe: And so yeah, my favorite comparison is SNL and how the cast of SNL is almost like a community, and they’re there for a little while and some of them become major celebrities, and they become huge movie stars. Some don’t, some go back to comedy clubs, some go back and do something else outside of the business. But it’s like a family where the ones that are really successful, they recognize what that community did for them and they come back. You see these recurring SNL cast members, people that haven’t been on in 20 years or 15 years, they come back because they got so much value out of the institution, they think so much of it and everyone involved that they recognize what it meant to them and what it did for their career, and they want to be a part of it still. I think that’s a beautiful thing. If you can capture that within your community where you do help people on to that next stage, like you said, they’ll always be ambassadors and they’ll always be a phone call away. They’ll always be able to come back.
27:30 Carrie Melissa Jones: Mm-hmm.
27:30 Patrick O’Keefe: The opportunity is there for them to mentor people in the community, for you to tell their story like, “This is where you can get to through this community. These are some of our members.” And I think that’s just a really, really powerful thing.
27:41 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, that’s a perfect example. If SNL was not doing a good job, then everybody would go back. They’d quit comedy, or they would go back to whatever town they might have come from and go back to doing small shows, but they don’t. They go on to be the Will Farrells or the Adam Sandlers, so that’s how you know you’re building something really valuable, is, your alumni network, basically is gonna be extremely strong.
28:06 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah, it’s not that I want people to leave.
28:08 Carrie Melissa Jones: Right.
28:10 Patrick O’Keefe: I should be clear about that, it’s not like I’m pushing them out the door like, “Go be President so I can claim you,” no.
28:15 Carrie Melissa Jones: You’re pretty good, though.
28:16 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah, I mean, that would be cool. I would love to say, “Barack Obama, used to post on KarateForums.com back in the day.” There are funny stories, but it’s never taking credit. It’s just, “Hey, they were here.” There’s a rapper named Jay Electronica who’s fairly well-known and he actually posted on a community I ran for phpBB, phpBBHacks.com years ago, when he was trying to run his own site and had this forum on it and needed help. Because celebrities or future celebrities are just people like the rest of us. We sometimes forget that, I think, but they’re just people doing something and we happen to be the forum for that, so he needed help with that.
28:48 Carrie Melissa Jones: Mm-hmm.
28:49 Patrick O’Keefe: And I think those types of stories are fun.
28:54 Patrick O’Keefe: Yeah. You could be a respected rapper.
28:56 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah.
28:58 Patrick O’Keefe: For posting a programming forum.
29:00 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yep, exactly.
29:02 Patrick O’Keefe: CMX with Leader Networks just released a research report, Keys To Community Readiness and Growth: How Brands Prepare For Online Community. You were hoping that it builds bridges between you and other companies doing community research, but going back to that topic of credit once again, everyone wants it. Everyone wants to be seen as the authority, which enables them to sell sponsorships, conferences, training programs, memberships. We can talk about the greater good and we just did, and doing right by the community, but when your business is to sell to community professionals and the companies they work with, I think that’s a barrier you have to overcome. I was curious what does this collaboration, this bridge-building look like to you?
29:41 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, that’s a really good question. I think also… Was it Bill Johnston talked about this a little bit in his interview with you, too.
29:46 Patrick O’Keefe: Yep, he did. He talked a little bit about the siloed resources, I think, were his vernacular.
29:50 Carrie Melissa Jones: Yeah, and I think that it actually does our industry a disservice to have those siloed resources. I don’t think that any of us exist in a silo, and if we’re not speaking the same language, especially I think language is so important, maybe that’s just the English major in me, [chuckle] coming out. But I think language determines reality and if we’re not all using the same terms and kind of asking the same questions and giving community professionals who are really the ones on the ground selling community internally in their organizations, if we’re not giving them resources that kind of point in the same direction, then we’re doing them a disservice, we’re doing the entire industry a disservice.
30:24 Carrie Melissa Jones: So we’ve been working, we’re a promotional partner of the Community Roundtable’s survey which I think wraps up around the 18th of March, but that’s a really important piece of research that goes out every year. I think they’re in their seventh or eighth year now, in addition to ours and we’re able to confirm each others findings through a lot of the research that we do and sort of get into more details that… There’s only so much one research report can do, can’t answer every question in every report.
30:49 Carrie Melissa Jones: And so it’s really important that we define the gaps that maybe other companies that are doing this community research including Gartner, and your Forresters, and stuff like that. And then finding the questions that still exist and especially reading those conclusions in research reports to see which questions still exist for community professionals and then instituting new research to answer those questions. That’s what really is going to professionalize this discipline. For the last 20, 30 years that this discipline has been around we’ve been working towards… Well I haven’t lived for 30 years so I can’t say that we, I guess.
31:22 Carrie Melissa Jones: But people in the community have been working towards really professionalizing this and creating strong standards, in order to get into this industry, to begin with you have to understand. Not everybody can just come in and call themselves a community professional just like not everybody can come and call themselves a lawyer, there’s things that you have to know, terms you have to follow, language you have to learn. It’s really, really gonna be important for professionalizing this and making sure that the future generation of community builders is able to get the resources they need to continue to build a world where community and business are not mutually exclusive.

How to quickly teach a puppy its name?
How to accustom a puppy to its name already on the first day of training? Or how to teach a dog taken from a shelter or from someone its name? The most elementary in training is to teach the dog to respond to a new name. Whatever is your puppy's age, you can start teaching him the name in the very first day when he appears in the house.
So, what is the purpose of teaching the name? Some believe that while hearing its name the dog should simply pay attention to the owner. However, this is not necessary in everyday life, so after the name is pronounced, the dog or puppy should approach the owner.
What is needed for a pet to approach its owner? By the way, it should approach all the members of the family, that is, all members of the family should be engaged in bringing up a puppy and teaching it most necessary commands. Otherwise, how will they manage to control the dog? So let everyone take a piece of treat, and from time to time throughout the day (5-7 times or more) call the dog by its name and allure it with that very treat. As soon as it is suitable, give a treat, stroke the dog and say the name several times with a kind voice.
Also, call the animal by its name when it's time to eat. Put a bowl of food in the right place and call the dog's name. When it is eating, repeat its name several times and leave it alone, let him eat.
As you can see, everything is very simple. By the way, a puppy's favourite toy will help you as a supporting tool in training. Just hollo the puppy in with the toy, and, as soon as he runs up to you - name him by the name several times and play a little.
You will find a variety of toys and treats in our online boutique Fordogtrainers, as well as other tools for dog teaching and training.

Logan Square's restaurants and bars have long made the neighborhood a destination for food buffs and cocktail connoisseurs, but at night the party usually moves on to other locales. Once it gets late, the evening comes alive at arcade bars, 4am clubs and other places where you can queue up to dance until the wee hours. Plan your next post-midnight excursion with our guide to the best Logan Square nightlife.
A relatively recent addition to Logan Square's nightlife scene, East Room is usually crammed with bodies moving to the beat of a DJ. A 4am license makes this a frequent stop for industry workers fresh off a shift or concert-goers looking for an afterparty. Show up for regular parties like the Aux Cord DJs or just stop by to knock back a can of beer when the rest of your friends are already fast asleep.
The line that usually stretches down Milwaukee Avenue and the name of this bar should tell you all you need to know about it—this place is a slippery slope of booze, loud music and decisions you might regret in the morning. There's a dance floor and Skee-Ball machines, plus bottled cocktails, draft beers and a Mother-in-Law (a tamale dunked in chili) to snack on. If you need to cool down, head up to the second floor for a cocktail at the more subdued Heavy Feather.
This Logan Square bar has everything you could ask for—just don’t ask for too much. The spare, dim front room has plenty of hipster atmosphere (but no hipster snobbery); ample seating at the full bar; delicious beers on tap; and occasional DJ sets (heed the "NO REQUESTS" Lite Brite sign). If you're looking for live music, head through the door at the back of the bar and make a small donation.
Logan Arcade was originally located in the back room of Logan Hardware, a record store and vintage arcade museum, but once that moved down the street, the Arcade took over the space. Inside, you'll find a fully stocked bar and a blinking, beeping menagerie of lovingly restored arcade games. The back room is filled with pinball tables (which account for roughly half of the available games), so flipper fanatics will be able to waste away hours setting new high scores.
Emporium opened a second outpost of its popular arcade bar in Logan Square, which is mostly the same (there's beer and games), except for a few things. First there are table games, like pool and foosball, not just video games. Plus, there's a truck serving deli sandwiches and beer comes in bottles, not on draft. If you want a picnic table, you'll have to come early—seating is a premium here (though you can always lean on the Ms. Pac-Man cabinet).
If you want to hang out with DIY kids in denim jackets shooting pool in Logan Square, Cole's is the dive you've been looking for. Walk past the cloud of cigarette smoke outside and you'll find reasonably priced drinks and an eclectic roster of bands and DJs, including members of prominent local indie rock acts letting their hair down in front of a crowd of friends.
Weeknights are low-key at this retro dive from the Estelle’s folks, but the rooms fill up by midnight on weekends and stay packed until the 4am closing time (5am on Saturdays). Cheap drinks and less-cheap craft beers abound at all times, hipster tunes rule the jukebox, there’s a dance floor in back lined with mirrors and, if all that doesn’t do it for you, there’s a waterfall—a waterfall—behind the bar.
Up-and-coming art punks, garage rockers and amp crankers come here to hone their chops in one room, while glassy-eyed hipsters bury their heads in Dark Matter coffee and brews in another room. Food (samosas, a crispy fried-fish sandwich, a killer subcontinental-ish brunch) is cheap, bottled beer is mostly craft, and service—though on the slow side of mellow—is as unaffected as the dinerish environs.
After the fall of the Congress Theater, the party moved up the street to this former Hispanic nightclub. Now under oversight of React Presents, the electronic music promoter behind the Mid and Spring Awakening Music Festival, the Concord books everything from EDM stars to jam bands, punk and world music. The common denominator: All the acts are lively. Pillars rising from the parquet floor give it a bit of a warehouse feel, which suits the party vibe. Hang back by the bar or up on the balcony if you want to avoid the scrum.

Loss adjusters Ashworth Mairs Group is flying a team to India this week to assess the damage from the sub-continent's most powerful earthquake in 50 years.
More than 15,000 people in the western state of Gujarat are estimated to have died, and thousands more have been left homeless following the devastating natural disaster.
Ashworth Mairs Group international partner Paul Greenaway, who is leading the team, said it will focus on commercial property damage in the worst hit city of Bhuj.
He said more than 50% of commercial property in Bhuj has been destroyed, including part of its airport.
Most of the commercial property is believed to be insured by New India Insurance and reinsured with Swiss Re.
The Swiss reinsurer admitted its international risks arm was examining the damage. But it stressed it was “not a large event” in commercial insurance terms, as most of the property destroyed was residential.
It also said it was too soon to place a figure on the total loss.

Adobe STAY HOME and rest when you come down with a cold, rather than try to power through it, doctor advises.
It seems winter is hanging on. But besides the cold weather, there’s another kind of cold that seems to be sticking around — my snotty cold.
It’s been one cold after another for me this winter. I wash my hands. I Lysol wipe my home and my desk. I try my best not to touch elevator buttons or the subway handles. Yet, the germs seem to prevail.
As I go through yet another box of tissues, I thought I’d reach out to Dr. Lisa Del Giudice, family doctor at Sunnybrook, to check if I’m just unlucky on the germ front this year, or something else is wrong with me.
That sounds familiar. And makes sense. But why do some people (that is, me) catch more colds than others (that is, my husband)? Dr. Del Giudice says there’s a number of factors.
Del Giudice says some people have a tendency to get longer or harsher colds, for example those who smoke or vape, and people with lung conditions like asthma, emphysema or chronic bronchitis.
To help avoid these nasty viruses, wash your hands. Wipe the grocery cart with the disinfectants at the entrance to the store. Open doors with your sleeve. Stay home. If you have to be around people, avoid physical contact (don’t shake hands, hug or kiss). Cough, sneeze and blow your nose away from people or objects people will touch. If you have to do these things around people, cough or sneeze into your sleeve. Wash your hands after.
“Try not to touch your face as your hands get dirty fast. Wash your face when you get home to get all those germs off,” Del Giudice said.
If possible, separate infected family members from the well family members. Don’t share a bed if someone has a cold and you want to avoid it, Del Giudice added.
While most people don’t need to see their family doctor for a cold, you should see a doctor if you have a fever lasting more than five days, have trouble breathing, chest pain, or your symptoms worsen after seven to 10 day. Also, keep an eye on your snot.
Other reasons to see a doctor include coughing up blood or a post-viral cough lasting longer than four to six weeks.
Del Giudice said while antibiotics won’t help the common cold, over-the-counter medications can help ease some of the symptoms that come with a cold, but they should be only used for a short time. Salt water nasal rinses can help get rid of mucous in the sinuses (always follow the instructions on the package).
And don’t hesitate to put the kettle on.
“Warm water with lemon and honey is the safest and most natural thing to take to break down mucous that drips down from the sinuses and collects in the throat,” she said.

Crater Lake, deep, clear, intensely blue lake located within a huge volcanic caldera in the Cascade Range, southwestern Oregon, U.S., about 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Medford. The lake and its surrounding region became Crater Lake National Park in 1902, with an area of 286 square miles (741 square km). By the early 21st century the park had more than 90 miles (145 km) of hiking trails.
The crater from which the lake was formed, which is about 6 miles (10 km) in diameter, is the remnant of Mount Mazama, a volcano that rose to probably 12,000 feet (3,700 metres) until an eruption about 7,700 years ago destroyed the upper portion. Subsequent lesser outbursts are indicated by cinder cones on the caldera floor; one of these, Wizard Island, rises 764 feet (233 metres) above the water. Crater Lake has an average surface elevation of 6,173 feet (1,881 metres) above sea level and an average depth of about 1,500 feet (457 metres). Underwater mapping of the lake in 2000 established a maximum depth of 1,943 feet (592 metres)—the previous recorded maximum had been 1,932 feet (589 metres)—making it the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world. Its waters are exceptionally clear, and it is often possible to see to a depth of more than 100 feet (30 metres).
Crater Lake; Wizard IslandAn overview of Crater Lake and Wizard Island, southwestern Oregon. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
Perhaps the most unique feature of the lake is its remarkable colour, a deep, brilliant blue that is magnified by its contrast with the ochre and rust hues of the surrounding rock walls. The intensity of this colour results from the reflection of blue and green light waves off the clear and colourless water, which is a function of the absence of suspended sediment because the lake is fed directly by precipitation rather than indirectly by a stream.
Crater Lake, Oregon, U.S., famed for its deep blue colour, with Wizard Island at its western end. Ray Atkeson/Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
Animal life inhabiting the area—nearly all of which is protected wilderness—includes deer, bears, eagles, hawks, owls, and grouse, and, particularly in summer, there is an abundance of songbirds and insectivorous birds. Crater Lake contains limited numbers of fish (trout and salmon), introduced by humans. The area’s plant life is predominantly pine and fir trees, with wildflowers covering the meadows in summer.
Crater Lake's volcanic historyVolcanic history of Crater Lake (with animation). Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
Archaeological finds at Fort Rock Cave, about 55 miles (90 km) northeast of Mount Mazama, indicate that humans were present in the area at the time of the principal volcanic eruption, not long after which the area near Crater Lake was inhabited by the Modoc and Klamath American Indian tribes. Crater Lake has long held special significance for Native Americans, for whom it has been a sacred place, visited by shamans, medicine men, and others during vision quests. The first American of European descent to see the lake is generally held to be John Wesley Hillman, who is credited with its “discovery” on June 12, 1853. A mid-19th-century gold rush brought an influx of prospectors to southern Oregon, and Hillman was a member of one of a pair of competing groups who were trying to find “Lost Cabin Mine,” whose owners reportedly had buried gold when they were attacked by Indians. The two groups eventually became one, came upon the lake, and voted on what to name it, choosing Deep Blue Lake over Mysterious Lake.

Assistant Attorney General for National Security John P. Carlin, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara for the Southern District of New York and Assistant Director-in-Charge George Venizelos of the FBI’s New York Office, announced today that a federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment against Cheng Le for attempting to acquire and distribute ricin and committing postal fraud. Le was arrested on Dec. 23, 2014, by the FBI in Manhattan. He was presented on a Complaint before the U.S. Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV on Dec. 24, 2014, and has been detained since his arrest. He is expected to be arraigned on Friday, January 23, 2015, before the United States District Judge Alison J. Nathan.
Ricin is a highly potent and potentially fatal toxin with no known antidote. In December 2014, an individual (the Ricin Buyer) contacted an FBI online covert employee (the OCE) on an online forum. During Dec. 2014, the Ricin Buyer exchanged a series of messages with the OCE, during which the Ricin Buyer explored the possibility of the OCE supplying the Ricin Buyer with ricin, for the Ricin Buyer to resell to at least one secondary buyer.
On or about Dec. 18, 2014, the Ricin Buyer directed the OCE to send a quantity of ricin to a particular postal box in Manhattan (the Postal Box). The FBI later determined that the Postal Box belonged to Cheng Le. Later that same day, FBI agents observed Le wear latex gloves while retrieving a package from the Postal Box (the Package) and mailing it at a nearby post office (the Post Office). Law enforcement officers examined the Package, confirmed that it did not contain any hazardous materials, and determined that Le had listed a fake name as the Package’s return address. A postal employee (the Postal Employee) informed the FBI that the Postal Employee had seen Le at the Post Office on multiple prior occasions and that Le has worn blue latex gloves on at least some of those occasions.
The FBI prepared a package (the Sham Shipment) that was consistent with the Ricin Buyer’s request to the OCE, which was then delivered to the Postal Box. On Dec. 23, 2014, Le, wearing latex gloves, retrieved the Sham Shipment, opened it, and took the contents to his apartment, whereupon he was arrested by FBI agents.
The indictment charges Le, 21, in two counts. Count One charges Le with attempting to possess a biological toxin for use as a weapon, and carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Count Two charges Le with using a fictitious name in furtherance of unlawful business involving the mail, and carries a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment. The maximum potential sentences in this case are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by a judge.
Assistant Attorney General Carlin is grateful for the outstanding investigative efforts of the FBI, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS). Le’s arrest is the result of the close cooperative efforts of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force—which consists of law enforcement officers of the FBI, NYPD, USPIS and other agencies.
The case is being prosecuted by the office’s Terrorism and International Narcotics Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ilan Graff and Andrew D. Beaty are in charge of the prosecution, with assistance provided by Trial Attorney Joseph Kaster of the Justice Department’s Counterterrorism Section.

I thought long and hard about the theme of this edition of Sendero, for the simple reason it touches the highly charged third rail of US politics.
In the end, I decided to go ahead in the hopes that the underlying message transcends the strong likes or dislikes of current political players and makes people think about the importance of critical thinking.
To wit, the process we should deliberately subject ourselves to before coming to important decisions, or forming strong opinions.
Other than, perhaps, brief encounters with Socrates -- considered the parent of the idea of a somewhat formal process of processing information before coming to a decision -- critical thinking has now been largely lost in the halls of academia.
The Socratic method revolves around asking questions to gain facts, nuances and, ultimately, clarity before forming a firm opinion on any topic. Of course, it only works if you are willing to suspend personal biases and to fully commit to trying to ascertain the truth.
If you can’t do that, if you can’t commit to the quest for real knowledge, then the whole exercise is a waste of time.
As we move on, I’m listening to a rather strange musical genre for me… Swing. At the moment I’m listening to an odd looking duck by the name of Taco, singing Putting on the Ritz.
I have to warn you, whether you like the music or not, there’s a good chance you’ll find the invigorating beat putting a snap in you step as you go about your day. It’s actually kind of annoying.
With that introduction, I would like to ask you to try to put your biases aside for a moment, and read on.
In past editions of these musings, I have touched upon the reality that I am something of a political fish out of water in Vermont, site of our summer home.
In Dinner Party Disasters, for instance, I shared a few shining examples of my failings at integrating in local society.
As I have no desire to further alienate myself from the community, I studiously try to avoid political discourse. In this era of extreme political passions, no easy thing.
“So, what do you think about Trump?’ Comes the inevitable question.
“Don’t have much of an opinion, I live in Argentina and don’t really follow US politics,” I reply in the scant hope the conversation will move on to the weather or pretty much anything else.
That line of response works for some, but invariably one meets someone so positively bursting with the need to expose their opinion, they won’t be denied.
It was thus that a few weeks ago, when visiting a good friend - “good” because we normally avoid political topics - we found ourselves alone with a bottle of wine while our wives went off on a short hike, and he really wanted nothing more than to talk about Trump.
For five or so minutes I dodged, parried and all but stuffed my fingers in my ears while humming in an attempt to avoid the topic, but in the end, back against the wall as he drilled in, I realized there was no escape.
So, basically, his level of dislike for the president goes so deep that he would like to see him murdered. A pretty strong opinion.
Cornered as I was, I fired off the line of questioning I always use when confronted by someone with such a strong personal opinion.
In the twenty minutes that followed, my friend literally couldn’t come up with a single tangible reason why he viscerally hates Trump.
I could go on, but the long and short of it was, he didn’t.
Finally, exasperated, he made a final attempt at salvaging an answer to my question.
He shrugged, a resigned look on his face, nothing left in the ammo bag.
Fortunately, at that time our wives reappeared and the conversation ran happily towards more pleasant topics.
Regardless, I am pretty sure he won’t be pushing me on a political opinion again any time soon, so we will probably remain friends.
A week later I met with another person during which the topic of politics again breached my barriers.
The tete-a-tete came about as a result of a complicated situation having to do with something that occurred in our family history some seventy years ago.
This person and I, while clearly political opposites, get along quite well. We typically will have a glass of wine or two and chat about a wide range of topics over the period of about 90 minutes, then go our separate ways for another year.
In this year’s meeting, after the usual pleasantries, the conversation turned to politics.
Again, I tried to avoid it, but in the end told my companion the story I just related above. Specifically, how I had spent time with someone who would frankly love to see Trump dead, but couldn’t articulate why.
“Well, I can tell you why I hate Trump,” she said firmly.
“Oh, pray tell,” I responded.
She then went on to list things he could be doing, like introducing a punitive carbon tax, banning fracking, etc., etc.
Showing a decided lack of critical thinking on the extent of global warming, she referenced how warm it has been this summer in the Northeast United States, and how during the last winter some ski race had to be cancelled because of lack of snow.
I acknowledged it’s been a pleasant summer here in Vermont, but didn’t mention that this summer Greenland set the record for the coldest July day in recorded history - minus 27.4 F.
In my opinion, you would have to actively ignore the views of a large number of serious climate scientists to believe the human impact on climate is anything more than minimal. If it was the carbon dioxide humanity puts into the atmosphere causing more agreeable weather, how to explain the Medieval Warming Period when scientific proof exists that the climate was warmer than it is today?
Oddly, given that she is apparently adamant about the climate, my companion had never heard about the Medieval Warming Period. One can only surmise it is because she deliberately screens out any views that contradict her own.
But I digress. As for the second reason she dislikes Trump so strongly, it is because she is against the idea that people display a valid I.D. before casting a vote.
“As far as I understand it, all Trump and others are asking for is that voters present some sort of identification, you know, to prove they are actually eligible to vote. Certainly you can’t be against that?” I asked without guile, seriously not understanding what the objection could be.
While I haven’t studied the topic at any length, a cursory search turns up what appear to be valid exposes of voter fraud. Certainly enough that one can’t dismiss concerns about voter fraud out of hand.
Hell, if people are willing to wish bodily harm on the president, might one speculate they would also be willing to countenance some less than above board voting to assure he and his followers don’t win re-election?
Again, as I think we both genuinely like each other, we let the conversation drift back to safer waters.
Everyone, on both sides of the political spectrum, is susceptible to professional attempts to influence them.
Which is why teaching critical thinking in schools is so important, yet it is almost entirely lacking in the modern curriculum.
Instead, far too many teachers, who play such an out-sized role during children’s most gullible years, are targeted by the influence campaigns and become helpful fools in spreading propaganda.
Maybe the reason the educators no longer teach critical thinking, is that they are afraid of having to deal with an actively questioning student body?
If you, dear reader, truly hate Trump - spend some time trying to figure out why. Is there really anything he has done that has so wrong-footed the country, or you personally?
Likewise, I know a lot of people who viewed Obama in a similarly dim light. Again, if you are one of those, ask yourself the same questions… and try to answer them honestly.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting that you aren’t entitled to dislike Trump, or any politician. Simply trying to make the point that you may have fallen victim to the determined - and effective - media campaign to create a narrative around Trump like I have never seen.
And the media is not alone. Obviously the prosecution team led by Mueller are out to get Trump, and are using every possible coercive tool at their disposal to bring him down.
If you’ve watched the Billionaires television series, and you should, you’ve seen this show before. The overreaching prosecutor, determined to be proven right, will do literally whatever it takes to get at the ultimate target of his investigation. In this case, Trump.
The traditional news media, always happy for “breaking news” to draw eyeballs to their fading franchises, bathe themselves and their readers in the latest revelation, willingly overlooking the facts that this is all just political theater and they are merely paid claqueurs for the anti-Trump side.
In the end, the media and social networks really do have a huge influence over what people think, which is why the shadow banning - and now actually banning - of certainly conservative media platforms should be so concerning to us all.
However, it seems to only be of concern to conservatives and libertarians.
But what if the shoe was on the other foot and Huffington Post and the Washington Post were banned? How much of an uproar would there be then?
We live in a dangerous time. Dangerous because it seems as though the geographical boundaries of the United States are now populated by two different cultures, diametrically opposed on almost every social construct.
With so few even willing to hear arguments from the other side, I simply do not see how this schism can be healed.
While it will seem a bit warped, I do see a silver lining in all of this, having to do with the American economy which is, IMO, hopelessly broken.
While one could go into great detail as to why - and I won’t - the reality is that over the two-plus centuries since the American experiment began, it has increasingly become entangled in bureaucratic red tape and the mousetraps of crony capitalists working hand in glove with Washington.
So much so that, per the latest edition of Sendero, On Average, most people just aren’t making ends meet. At least not without a healthy dose of government money.
Once Trump is out of the way, and the millennials take the reins and turn the ship of state left, the country will invariably enter a dark period. Perhaps even something approaching the collapse that was just barely avoided in 2008.
It could be a very difficult period - at least for those whose lives are so completely invested in the status quo. But it seems to me that only the equivalent of a raging economic forest fire can wipe away all the debt and malinvestment and return the country to a more sustainable path.
Historically the President’s party has lost an average of 32 seats in the House, and two in the Senate, in the mid-term elections.
If that happens this November, the Democrats will take control of the House and leave the Republicans a razor-thin one-seat hold on the Senate, where there are any number of sitting Senators that positively detest Trump.
In which case the Trump administration will become even more bogged down. While no one can predict these things, that election outcome alone could serve as the starting gun on the next economic crisis.
Which, when you get right down to it, invariably starts as a crisis of confidence and then spirals out of control from there. Despite his real and perceived flaws, the market sees Trump as solidly business-friendly... very much not the case with his opposition.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest you take this opportunity to review your portfolio and lighten up on anything other than your highest confidence positions, raising cash so that if the stock market tanks you'll be ready to buy more of what you want to own for the long-term.
Tomorrow we return to our home in the middle of nowhere Argentina, a small town in a remote country with a population that, due to a long history of crises, are about as resilient as it gets.
Thankfully, no one there has more than a passing interest in American politics, and the concept of a 24/7 news cycle is nowhere to be seen.
As you might be able to guess, I am eagerly looking forward to being several large steps removed from the currently poisonous political environment in the United States. Just the thought of it calms the mind.
Immediately upon return I will begin training pretty intensively for a two-hundred mile ride into the Andes, and in my spare time I will continue working with the team to complete the build-out of RiskHedge.com, our new disruption research organization. Therefore, I probably won’t be posting again for some time.
In the interim, don't forget to enjoy the best things life has to offer. Politics definitely doesn't make that list.

It is the first conviction of a traditional fox hunt under legislation introduced in Scotland in 2002.
Johnny Riley, 24, and his father, John Clive Richardson, 67, of Bonchester Bridge, were fined £400 and £250 respectively for deliberately hunting a fox with dogs near Jedburgh last year.
They plan to appeal against the decision.
During their trial, the pair had denied breaching the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002.
Their defence lawyer David McKie said they had worked within the terms of the legislation by using hounds to flush out a fox from cover to waiting guns.
However, depute fiscal Fiona Caldwell argued the two men had clearly broken the law at Townfoothill near Jedburgh on 16 February last year.

Time for another week away: a holiday to relax, re-vitalise and explore. I’m not sure it counts as a holiday as I’m living on the other side of the world from my hometown. A holiday away from a holiday. To be fair I am working in Sydney, it’s not all fun and games.
Part of the reason I’m on a working holiday visa in Australia is to travel as well as work. I booked Tassie a few months back when I found some cheap flights. I want to slowly visit all the main cities in Australia.
Waking up at 3am is all part of the holiday experience. With blurry eyes and lack of sleep, I managed to drag myself out of bed. When I had booked a 6am flight, I checked to see if there was any public transport to the airport and there was a bus plus a ten minute walk. Stupidly, my phone automatically showed the route to the international airport which I didn’t realised until the day before I was leaving. I panicked slightly but it all worked out better than planned as I decided to take an Uber to make sure I arrived on time. Due to a promotional code, it only cost AU$5… Such a cheap deal.
After checking in, walking through security and waiting for the gate to open, I was soon sitting, waiting for my plane to take off. The journey seemed so quick due to having a nap. The view as we took off was amazing as the sun was beginning to rise.
Once I had landed in Hobart airport, I caught a airport shuttle bus. There are three option to get in to the city centre: taxi, shuttle bus or rent a car. It cost AU$18 one way or Au$32 return. I opted for the latter as I knew I would be returning the same way. It’s quite expensive for 25 minute drive but there did drop me off near my hostel.
As I arrived in Hobart about 8.45am, I was too early to check in so I dropped off my bag and started to think about my next few week. I went to a rent a car place to compare prices and to the tourist information to find out what I could do while I was here. I took a stroll along the harbour, gazing at the bright blue water and the sun reflect off the white shiny boats. It was just sunning.
I was in need of a latte so I found a little cafe to chill and plan for the next few days. I walked back along the port, where I found an information centre, promoting different places in Tassie, where I got to sample some delicious cheese. I walked around Salamanca Market, where there are over 100 stalls selling food, souvenirs, jewellery books and many other things. I didn’t buy anything but I did taste some different cheeses, fudge and sauces. It definitely having a look.
Around the area is a square with a fountain, dessert shops and a quaint book shop, which I rummaged through. I just love book shops. However, I did feel a little homesick as the children’s section reminded me of teaching primary school kids in England and there were several travel books about England.
After I went passed the government house and cathedral to check in to my room at the hostel. From here, I went in the museum and art gallery, which was free admission. I thought it was going to be an Art gallery, which I normally love but this was a bit odd. In the side house was 3 floor giving a little history of Tasmania but I didn’t find it interesting as it’s not very old. I just found it was full of stuffed animal. The main building was two floors, again with some angry animals glaring at you, information about Antarctic and a small art gallery with old paintings in gold frames.
Then I walked along the coast for about 2 miles to the Botanic Gardens. Leisurely strolling around the park, observing people, plant, a waterfall and the Lillie pond was delightful. After, I laid on the grass, listening to children playing around me in the sun as the lack of sleep hit me.
When I finished at the gardens, I grabbed some food at Woolworths before cooking some dinner at the hostel. I had a chilled evening taking in the last of the sun by the port and then relaxing in bed before getting some shut eye.
The next day I woke up later than usual. I got ready for the day, cooking some pasta for lunch and eating breakfast.
This holiday, I was trying to be on a backpackers budget, which included a diet of muesli and pasta with pesto. It a little different travelling here in Australia than in Asia. I didn’t really have to think about the pennies being able to eat out for every meal.
Anyway, when I had finished sorting out my bag, I walked to the farmers market not too far away. There were many stalls with different food: fruit, veggies, honey, yogurt, octopus, meat and bread.
Once I had a good wander, I went to the bus stop by Franklins park to catch the 10.30am bus to Fern Tree. The ride there was extremely hilly and windy, which was good because it would be less of a climb to the Mount Wellington Pinnacle. The journey was pretty with views of beaches and hills. When I got off the bus, the chill hit me so I decided to put my leggings on before I even star ted.
Then I started my mission of climbing up Mount Wellington, where is decide to walk up the middle track to start. Even though it wasn’t too far, the walk was super steep working up my leg muscles. I had also sprained my ankle the week before, which I was still in a slight pain with and had a elastic support around. However, this wasn’t going to stop me climbing up this mountain. I carried on hiking until the spring, where I had a bit of rest and a snack for some energy. The pinnacle track was the next path, which was pretty narrow with trees either side. I passed several people coming down. The incredible view of Hobart peered through the tree with the blue sky. However, the weather didn’t stay nice much longer as the clouds skidded across the sky covering up the view. The zigzag part of the track was more difficult with rocks to claim and step to balance on. When I was quite near to the top, I took a rest on some rocks, where I started talking to some older lady. As I hiked the final part, it began to drizzle with thick air blocking my view but I did see some cute wallabies nibbling on some plants.
At the top of Mount Wellington was a tower, a short walk and a lookout building. Unfortunately the weather was so bad that I could see anything from the top but I was still proud of myself for reaching the top. I ate lunch in the lookout and chatted to some backpackers before heading back down.
The blizzard started getting heavy as I walked down but I knew I had to go as there was only one bus I could get back to Hobart. Even though in a way it was more difficult to climb down due to the wet, wobbly rocks and an injured ankle, it didn’t take me that long to get back to the springs. Well, just over an hour. The rain had calmed down but I was feeling the cold. From here I took a slightly different route, down the Reid track to the Silver Falls, which was a small waterfall. The rest of the track was almost flat.
As I had descended a lot quicker than planned, I order a chai latte in the local pub to warm up. At 5am, I took the last bus back to Hobart. In the evening, I just ate dinner and chilled as I was feeling exhausted.
