Photos Courtesy of Meier On RothschildPritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier has created one of the most luxurious residential buildings in Tel Aviv, Israel. The Meier-on-Rothschild is a 42-story ultra-luxury residential tower designed by Meier and developed by Berggruen Residential Ltd. The most luxurious residence in the building, The Palace in the Sky, is a 15,257-square-foot villa on the 38th and 39th floors. It is listed for $50 million, making it the most expensive apartment ever for sale in Tel Aviv. The tower at 36 Rothschild Boulevard is 65 percent pre-sold and on track for completion in the first quarter of 2014.
Meier-on-Rothschild’s remaining three penthouses include The Royal Penthouse, a 7,833-square-foot estate on the 40th floor; the Rothschild Summit, a 6,520-square-foot townhouse on the 41st and 42nd floors; and The Palace in the Sky. All penthouses feature 360-degree views, 10-foot ceilings, Jacuzzis, generous outdoor terraces, private elevators, and more.
The modernist 590-foot white and transparent tower has 141 units total. Amenities include a spa, fitness center, relaxation lounge, treatment room, a 25-meter swimming pool, Jacuzzi; wine cellar that will double as an entertaining facility, and a 24-hour concierge service to assist the tenants.
The penthouse units (priced from $19 to $50 million) also contain another surprise: original Richard Meier artwork. Meier does not only design buildings; he creates collages for friends and select institutions. Many of Meier's collages were created during long flights or in the waiting areas of airports and are layered compositions of “found” papers, shapes and colors. Meier selected four collages, which are on museum board, from his archive to be included in these residences. Meier apparently takes his collages seriously and according to NY Times, he often spends his Sundays creating them. He's also been recognized for these pieces of art and in 2005, select works were exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery.


The Harlem Globetrotters and the 14th annual North Central Florida Home & Garden Show will be coming soon to the Stephen O'Connell Center on the University of Florida campus.
If you're looking for some quality time at events for the entire family, then you're in luck because the Harlem Globetrotters and the 14th annual North Central Florida Home & Garden Show will be coming soon to the Stephen O'Connell Center on the University of Florida campus.
The Globetrotters may thrill you with their athleticism, theater and comedy, while the Home & Garden Show may inspire you to tackle those home projects you've been putting off.
Renee Muson, associate director of the O'Connell Center, said the Harlem Globetrotters will be making their 17th appearance at 7 p.m. on March 7 and the Home & Garden Show will take place from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. March 9 and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. March 10. The O'Connell Center is located on W. University Avenue and Gale Lemerand Drive.
Tickets for the Harlem Globetrotters will range from $24-$85 and tickets for the Home & Garden Show will be $4 for general admission and free for children ages 16 and under.
Muson said the Harlem Globetrotters Show is one of the first shows hosted at the O'Connell Center when it opened in 1980. "The Harlem Globetrotters are sort of a rite of passage," Muson said. "You have to go to the circus and see the Globetrotters, at least once in a lifetime."
Kristen Bash, marketing coordinator at The Gainesville Sun and Gainesville Magazine, said the Home & Garden Show is being sponsored by The Sun and the Builders Association of North Central Florida. Bash said participants will find everything for the home and garden, including informational seminars, elaborate displays, demonstrations and giveaways.
"You will find inspiration for your home improvement projects." Bash said.
Flight Time Lang, who has played with the Harlem Globetrotters for 14 seasons, said this is the Globetrotters' 87th year providing great family entertainment. "Whether you like the game of basketball or not, come with an open mind and ready to have fun," said Lang. "I promise you will have a fun time."
Lang said for the first time ever, fans will get to call the shots by voting on a new rule to add to the Globetrotters game in their city. Those interested can vote in advance at www.globetrotters.com by clickingon "Vote" or by voting at the game.
After the game, Lang said fans will have an opportunity to get autographs and have their photos taken with the players, but fans must bring their own camera. Lang said the Globetrotters who will be coming to Gainesville include Tiny, who is 7'8" tall; Too Tall, who is 5'2" tall; and T'Time, who is one of three women players on the Globetrotter team. Lang also will be here.
"Our show is very interactive and family-friendly," said Lang. "You will get lots of laughs and memories that will last a lifetime."
Home & Garden Show
Lynda Strickland, senior advertising manager at The Sun, said the event will provide one-stop shopping for information, with about 128 vendors offering a wide range of goods and services, including financial, insurance, landscaping, real estate, home building and remodeling, hot tubs, flooring, patio furniture, window treatments, closet designs, home theater, roofing and other services.
Strickland said last year, 3,000 people attended the show and more are expected this year.
The following community seminars will address issues of concerns to Floridians and homeowners. They are:
— "Protect and Prepare Your Home From Storm or Hurricane Damage," by Scott Robinson of Robinson Renovation & Custom Homes, 11 a.m. March 9 and noon, March 10, with David Hilman of Custom Design Renovations LLC.
— "Getting to Green: Tips for Creating a Florida Friendly Landscape," by Wendy Wilber, horticultural extension agent at the University of Florida/IFAS Alachua County Extension Service, 1 p.m. March 9 and 1:30 p.m. March 10.
— "Rain Gardens and Water Conservation: Small Steps That Make a Big Difference," by Jennifer Mitchell, senior environmental specialist for the Alachua County Environmental Protection Department, 2:30 p.m. March 9 and 3 p.m. March 10.


The two drivers from the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, met during the run-up to the Monaco Grand Prix on 29 May 2016 for a sensational event off the racetrack.
Hamilton put his driving ability to the test on the water with a Cigarette Racing speedboat. Rosberg showed what a relaxed lifestyle cruising off the coast of Monaco looks like on the Mercedes-Benz Style luxury motor yacht.
With the motto "Speed & Style" the two demonstrated that the worlds of modern luxury and racing performance blend perfectly under the Mercedes-Star – both on water and on land: Hamilton showed the world of performance with the „Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder AMG Monaco Concept”, inspired by the current MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 car, which he also brought to the event. Meanwhile, Rosberg demonstrated the world of modern luxury with the S-Class Cabriolet and the Mercedes-Benz Style luxury motor yacht "ARROW460 – Granturismo".
"The Cigarette Racing speedboat and our Mercedes-Benz Style luxury yacht ‘ARROW460-Granturismo’ represent a coming together of two design icons. Each of them is hot & cool as their design is both attractive and surprisingly new, making both boats perfect embodiments of emotion and intelligence," states Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Daimler. He adds: "The ‘ARROW460-Granturismo’ carries our Mercedes genes throughout. We have transferred an automotive design idiom to a yacht – and this design statement far outside the usual mainstream in the boat industry allows us to create a totally original aesthetic."
Ever since the brand exists, motorsport has been part of the DNA of Mercedes-Benz and is one of the core activities creating performance and power. This is framed by modern luxury that embodies the brands design philosophy of sensual purity by the highest measure of emotionality and technical perfection. This perfectly illustrates the standards of the founding fathers Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz, always to strive for the best and thus to delight both heart and mind in equal measure. This results in products with a timeless attractiveness that fascinate people around the globe.
Pure performance and powe
The high-performance boat “Cigarette Racing 50 Marauder AMG Monaco Concept” is equipped with the most powerful series-production twin engines in the Cigarette portfolio. Two Mercury Racing V8 racing engines each with 1140 kW (1550 hp) take the 50 foot-long (approx. 15 metres) and eight foot-wide (approx. 2.40 metres) powerboat to an estimated top speed of more than 228 km/h (more than 142 mph). The characteristic design and the thoroughbred motorsport technology are inspired by the performance brand Mercedes-AMG and the current MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 car. The boat is made in a new type of layup process which has been specially developed for racing and reduces weight but also ensures better handling under high loads.
The Mercedes-Benz designers were responsible for the exterior design featuring black and silver tones contrasted by sporty turquoise green highlights as well as for the interior design which is inspired by the classic Cigarette Racing cockpit. Furthermore, the user interface offers state-of-the-art technologies: computer-based control, four high-resolution displays, Garmin navigation, and a Pure audio system. The price of this unique boat is approx. 1.6 million US dollars (when purchased FOB Monaco).
Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing have been working in partnership since 2007. Both share racing roots and the uncompromising passion for performance plus the aim to always deliver optimum achievements.
Modern luxury on the water
Designed by Mercedes-Benz Style and developed together with Silver Arrow Marine, the luxury "Arrow460–Granturismo" motor yacht celebrated its world premiere in April 2016. With this model, Mercedes-Benz is developing a completely new boat concept. The 14-metre-long 706 kW (960 hp) "Silver Arrow of the Seas" combines the performance of the famous Mercedes-Benz sports cars with unique innovations from the boat industry. The yacht has classic automobile proportions that bring the hallmark Mercedes design idiom of sensual purity onto the water in a highly emotional and dynamic form. The yacht also combines the advantages of an open boat with those of a hull cabin cruiser in unique fashion. Its crossover design offers the ultimate in variability, resulting in a boat that is equally suitable for day trips and overnight stays on board. The yacht offers room for up to ten people and is available in the fully equipped Edition 1at a price of 2.5 million euros.
With the world premiere of the "ARROW460 – Granturismo" the Mercedes-Benz Style designers have made Gottlieb Daimler's dream come true. 130 years after the invention of the automobile, individual mobility is now possible on land, on water and in the air. In 2011 the “Airbus Helicopters H145 Mercedes-Benz Style" lifted off as the first mobility product beyond the automobile.
Speedboats of the house of Mercedes own a long tradition. Already in 1906, the Mercedes-Speedboat “Wiener Neustadt” caused sensation. Designed by the engineer Fritz Maier, it was driven by a 147 kW (200 hp) strong Daimler-eight-cylinder engine, which was built by the first Daimler-engine-company in the Neustadt of Vienna. Due to the high waves the boat threw at races in front of the Côte d’Azur, it was called by the nickname “whale”.


Disability Insurance Vancouver, BC
More than one in three adults will suffer a serious disability before age 65. Contrary to the cliché, our single biggest asset is not usually our home but rather our ability to earn an income. Disability insurance pays a monthly benefit in the event that one is unable to work due to illness or injury. Some people may have adequate disability insurance through their employer but those who do not need to consider a private policy.
If you were unable to earn an income would you and/or your family suffer? If the answer is yes and you do not have coverage through your employer than you need long term disability insurance. Disability insurance is especially important for single people.
More than one in three adults will suffer a serious disability before age 65. Contrary to the cliché, our single biggest asset is not usually our home but rather our ability to earn an income. Disability insurance pays a monthly benefit in the event that one is unable to work due to illness or injury.
Of the 3 main types of insurance that insure the person, life, critical illness and disability insurance, disability insurance is by far the most complicated. It’s really important that you understand what you are buying and that it will pay you when you need it.
How it works
Generally long term disability policies will have a waiting period of 90 days. This means that you must be off work on a total or partial basis for at least 90 days to claim. There are short term policies that will pay immediately but they are usually only offered by large employers. Most people could last 90 days with no income, however 90+ days gets difficult.
Benefit periods are typically 2 years, 5 years or to age 65. This means that even if disability persists that benefits will be cut off once the benefit period is up. Therefore, it’s recommended to have a disability that covers you until age 65.
Injury only vs. Injury and illness policies
Some policies will only cover injury and/or accidents. These polices are really not very comprehensive. With few exceptions (maybe young men with high risk professions or lifestyles) the vast majority of claims are due to illness. For this reason a policy that will insure you against any cause of disability is advisable.
With life insurance (at least with term life) all polices are very similar. It’s really quite simple: If the insured dies the life insurer pays the death benefit. Disability insurance does not work this way. There can be complicated exclusions as to under what scenarios they will pay. For this reason it’s very important that you understand what you are buying and work with an advisor who is experienced with disability insurance.
Underwriting for disability insurance
Disability underwriting is threefold: occupational, income qualification and medical. Occupational Some professions are inherently more risky than others. For example, an electrician or construction worker is more likely to go on claim than is a doctor or software engineer. The polices are priced accordingly.
A rule of thumb is that you cannot be insured for more than 2/3 of what you earn when you are working. This is just due to moral hazard. Many people would not go back to work making more or even the same than they were before they are working. Usually the insurer will request the last 2 years tax returns for self-employed or incorporated professionals or a letter of employment for full-time employees.
Medical underwriting for disability insurance
The underwriting for disability insurance is very thorough. Often we see exclusions that won’t be covered. Exclusions are disclosed after the underwriting process. You will be told of the exclusions and it is your choice as to whether you accept the policy.
Generally if you have a had a prior injury that could lead to a claim it will be excluded. The most common exclusion being back/neck injuries. We also see knee, shoulders etc. quite frequently.
Some high quality policies will cover conditions such as depression and anxiety. But if there is any prior history (even a few sessions of counselling) an exclusion for any mental health disorder is likely. On the high qualify policies as much as 40% of claims are now for mental health disorders.
Other Insurance Services we offer: Life Insurance | Term Life Insurance | Creditor (Mortgage) Insurance | Permanent Life Insurance | Term 100 - Permanent Life Insurance | Universal Life Insurance | Whole Life Insurance | Living Benefits Insurance | Critical Illness Insurance
Your insurance policy must be based on your current and projected ability to pay the insurance premiums, your medical state, your age, future financial plans, as well as other factors. We make sure we understand all this in order to choose the right insurance policy for you. At Camlife Financial, we have access to all available insurance products and can recommend the best insurance coverage suited to your individual needs.

Unique farm store making a name for itself in Charlotte
- Since opening in the former one-room school house a year ago%2C Ben and Jessy Tirrell have kept it local with cheese and meat from their farm. They added local eggs%2C milk and butter along with pickled goods%2C sauces%2C flavored oils%2C jams and other specialty items from close to home.
CARMEL TWP. – From the outside, the property at 1959 W. Kalamo Highway looks like a well cared for piece of Eaton County history. Built in the late 1800s and once known as the Maurer School, the building hasn't housed students since the 1960s.
The sturdy, brick one-room school house sits at the corner of Kalamo and Battle Creek highways, a short distance southwest of Charlotte. It may not look like the kind of place to shop for fresh meat, cheese, eggs and milk. It isn't the most obvious of lunch stops either.
But those who make the trip to what is now Tirrell Farmstead Specialties are bound to be surprised by what they find inside.
Locally-farmed beef, chicken and lamb, a variety of cheeses made right in Charlotte, milk from nearby Nashville, dried beans from a Grand Ledge farm, walking sticks and benches from a local woodworker and hand-dyed wool for weaving are all for sale.
Visitors will also find a daily menu that is just as local, starting at around $4.50. The chicken wraps, beef stroganoff, macaroni and cheese, frittatas, homemade breads, cookies and muffins are made with eggs, meat and other ingredients from Eaton County farms.
The space is filled with food and other products that are just as hyper local as its owners Ben and Jessy Tirrell.
and their two daughters live across the street from their store, opened in September, 2013, on their 60-acre farm.
A seventh-generation farming family, the Tirrells are one of just two licensed sheep dairy in Michigan. The milk produced there is used to create fresh varieties of cheese right on the property that is sold throughout Michigan. They also raise cattle.
Their dairy operation is 4 years old but it was only a few years ago that the family opened a small store on their farm, a 150-square-foot space where they started selling the cheese they make and the beef they produce to local community members.
"It was pretty small, said Ben, 33. "Like a closet for some people. It was just some people in the area, friends and neighbors who bought from us and they told other people who cared about where their food came from."
Jessy, 28, said when the store opened on their farm it wasn't actively promoted but it was frequented by a group of loyal customers.
"Most people, what I heard is that they didn't even know it was there," she said. "We didn't have great signage. We didn't do very much advertising. The people that we did have were very loyal customers and still to this day are very loyal customers."
Then last summer the Maurer School, at the time utilized as the Carmel Township Hall, went up for sale.
Ben said a township official visited the farm to explain that the municipality had simply outgrown the historic space and suggested the Tirrells might think about buying it.
"My great-grandfather, grandfather and dad went to school there," said Ben. "It was just a cool building."
Jessy admits that the couple had been interested in the schoolhouse for a while. "Pretty much the whole time we were in business over at our house we were like, 'When are they gonna sell that building?' We were so excited."
The Tirrells bought it for $15,000 and made upwards of $70,000 worth of renovations to the building, taking out the carpeting to expose the original hard-wood floors and installing a kitchen with a counter and cash register.
Then they began filling it with cheese and meat from their farm. They added local eggs, milk and butter along with pickled goods, sauces, flavored oils, jams and other specialty items from close to home.
Ben's mother, Pat Tirrell, contributed hand-dyed wool, shawls, blankets, pillows and sweaters.
Everything in the store is made in Michigan and most of it hails from Eaton County. Jessy runs the store and mans the counter during business hours.
"We pride ourselves on saying we're supporting the economy of Michigan," said Jessy. "We supply most of the meat and we do the cheese."
Ben said that approach, along with the fresh meat that is hormone and antibiotic free, is something people respond to.
"People have an interest in where their food comes from," he said. "People had no idea before and now they're paying attention to what goes on in the food industry."
Jessy agreed. She said since the store opened, its customer base has been growing.
"People were in here buying turkeys for their Thanksgiving dinner. Then, shortly after that it was gift baskets and stuff for Christmas and quality meats to put on their feast table," she said. "By then we had a lot more customers and a lot more to offer. People had just fallen in love."
Open Tuesday through Saturday, the store has gained an even stronger following than it had back at the farm. The couple said they market the business by word of mouth and on-line through the store's Facebook page where daily lunch and dinner menus are listed.
"We offer things the people eat on a regular basis," said Jessy. "People buy milk here, fresh eggs and meat for their table every day, every week."
Ben said the success is gratifying but it hasn't prompted them to think any bigger. Instead it has inspired them to stay small and local, he said.
"We want to be something that's comfortable being small," he said. "We do this really well and we want to be able to serve our community and make a living at the same time. That was always what we wanted."

Dry ice is mainly exceptionally cold and hence is used to maintain the temperature of the items when they are shipped to various locations to prevent any damage caused by extreme climatic conditions. It is the solid form of carbon dioxide and is a universal cooling agent. It is majorly used in the preservation of food and freezing of the same. Also when you are shipping, ensure that there is full ventilation while you pack the same to ensure that the gaseous elements from the dry ice can escape.
How to ship products which require dry ice?
When you want to ship products that need to stay in the same way fresh and intact without being harmed by the external factors, then ensure that you use dry ice for shipping. When using dry ice, ensure that you use gloves and goggles as they contain hazardous chemicals, used to preserve the items for long durations. Also, ensure that when they are packed, they are scooped into the box well which is made with an insulating material which is again placed within a cardboard box. Also never seal the box completely to ensure that the gaseous elements emitted from the dry ice can escape into the air else it becomes poisonous.
So here are some things you need to be sure about while packing these products :
- Firstly, the packaging must not be tight and should allow for releasing pressure. It is mainly because dry ice releases carbon dioxide, which must not be compressed. Like dry ice should never be placed in sealed plastic bags.
- You can either use wooden boxes, or even best quality corrugated cardboard boxes to pack.
- You need to place a layer of Styrofoam, which is ideal for insulation. And remember not to seal it.
- The maximum amount of dry ice that you can use in a single package is 200kg.
- You can also pack the product with a plastic wrap to make it intact and then use dry ice for packing.
When you are shipping dangerous goods via FedEx or UPS, ensure that your shipment falls under the IATA (International Air Transport Association) rules and regulations. For the same, you need to print shipping labels with UN 1845 declaration on the package, which counts it legible to be shipped. Also, ensure that you follow the shipping guidelines from the shipping carriers when you are shipping these perishable items.
How to Ship Products which require Dry Ice using UPS & FedEx on Your WooCommerce WordPress eCommerce Store?
Here are some of the steps you need to follow while shipping products that require dry ice using UPS and FedEx on your WooCommerce store.
Firstly, when a customer places an order for a product, which requires dry ice, then ensure that you pack the items individually. In the packing section, you can choose the same in the FedEx and UPS shipping plugin integrated on your WooCommerce store.
Remember you can also enable an option if your package requires dry ice in your product’s individual page like this.
To set the same, go to the individual product page and in shipping settings, you can enable the Require Dry Ice option. Once done, whenever the customer places an order with the same product, the rates displayed will be the rate including the dry ice price for the packing.
As you see above, the rates obtained while shipping with and without dry ice varies a lot. When you are shipping-certain commodities which require dry ice, the rates displayed will show you the price of the dry ice added to it.
In the same manner, you also need to be aware that while shipping any items with dry ice packaging, ensure that you also label the package to notify that shipment contains hazardous material. Usually, you can mark it on the package with words like “Dry Ice”, or “Carbon dioxide Solid ” or use code ” UN1845″. Ensure that whatever you ship using dry ice packaging adheres to the guidelines specified for shipping dangerous goods globally.
Your package also needs to affix a label like this :
Also, the shipping label will contain the details of the shipment too which indicates the package contains hazardous material.
Hence once the order is confirmed, the customer gets the notification from the shipper saying the package will be ready and sent to the provided address without fail. The customer can also easily track the shipment using the tracking number provided in the shipping details using the ELEX EasyPost (FedEx, UPS, Canada Post & USPS) Shipping & Label Printing Plugin for WooCommerce.

Weddings and Funerals
Should you/Can you get married in an Episcopal Church?
The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage is an expression of Christian community in which a couple makes their vows before God and the Church, and the priest blesses the marriage on behalf of the Church. Marriage in church is, therefore, much more than a matter of mere form. Churches are not marriage factories, and those who are not active members of an Episcopal parish should not assume that they will be able to marry in it. If you are from outside a parish in which you wish to get married, it is, therefore, very important that you do not announce a date for your marriage in one of our Churches until you and your future spouse have met with the priest and the suitability of the celebration of your marriage in our Church has been determined.
Place and Ministers of Marriage
Normally, the clergy of the parish preside at the celebration of marriages in that parish. If you want another cleric to preside at your marriage, you must obtain the consent of the ecclesiastical authority of the parish–the rector, interim priest in charge, or churchwardens. Our Church discourages weddings outside of the physical church building because having a wedding in a church asserts the importance of the Christian community in the marriage, while having it outside tends to diminish the role of the Church and to dilute its rules and traditions. If you do get married outside the church building, you need to bear in mind that Canon law requires that your marriage be celebrated with the consent of the ecclesiastical authority of the parish (i.e. its rector, vicar, or priest-in-charge) within the boundaries of which it takes place, and recorded in that parish’s register.
Seasons for Marriages
Marriages are not traditionally celebrated in Advent and in Lent because these are penitential seasons during which times festal liturgies, such as weddings, are not appropriate. Diocesan policy is that weddings during Advent or Lent should only happen in the case of serious, pressing, compelling pastoral needs. Some years ago, the Liturgical Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of New York prepared a detailed discussion of the issues surrounding marriage, and the liturgies appropriate under different circumstances (e.g. inter-faith marriages, Roman Catholic-Anglican marriages).
In the Episcopal Church we believe that through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, at death,
“… life is changed not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens.” (From the preface for the “Commemoration of the Dead” page 382, The Book of Common Prayer.)
Our burial services find their meaning in the Resurrection; because Jesus was raised from the dead, we too shall be raised. The services are characterized by joy in the eternal love of God in Jesus Christ, and by our human grief at the death of a loved one. While we rejoice that a loved one is now with God, we are sorrowful with those who mourn.
A death should be reported as soon as possible to the clergy of the parish – see Find a Church. All arrangements for burial services are made in consultation with the clergy of the parish. Burial services follow the rites authorized by the Episcopal Church. The death of a child usually occurs long before his or her expected span of life, often under tragic circumstances, the Episcopal Church has a particular service which addresses these special needs. Christian burials are customarily held in the church but for pastoral reasons may be held at the funeral home or graveside. When possible burial services are to be held at a time and place when family, friends, colleagues and the congregation of the deceased have the opportunity to be present. If cremation is to take place, burial services may be held prior to this, or if held afterwards, the ashes should be present at the service.
A Memorial service will often take place weeks, months or a year after death has occurred. All arrangements for the services are made in consultation with the clergy of the parish – see Find a Church – and follow the rites authorized by the Episcopal Church.


There’s a lot on my mind right now I just can’t think,
It seems that every night I find myself with a drink,
You see, there’s a lot going on at home right now and I just don’t know,
How to deal with it and where to go.
I’m looking on the internet trying to see if its ordinary,
But there’s nobody like me and it makes me quite cautionary,
I’m alone in this game with no other players,
Don’t know where to begin there’s just so many layers.
I don’t know who can help me, I need to find,
Somebody who can demolish this wall I hide behind,
It seems as though for me there is no escape,
But there are things I find which keep my sanity in shape.
You see, I feel better when my problem is shared,
My mind is more free and I’m less impaired,
And I feel better when I take time to reflect,
On the problems I have and the solutions to perfect.
I feel better when you ask me to sing along,
as opposed to questioning me, asking what’s wrong,
Because I feel better forgetting the reasons I cry,
Beginning to explain something that I could never even try.
I feel better knowing that I am surrounded by support,
Especially when it’s not something I’ve actively sought,
It’s because I feel better knowing there are people who care,
Who recognise me as an individual and don’t compare.
I feel better knowing that there are others in my position,
There’s more being done to appreciate my condition,
And I feel better when there are more people who understand,
That I didn’t choose to be like this it was out of my hands.
I feel better to witness the change in people’s attitude,
And for that I give them my utmost gratitude,
They’ve made me love myself to every letter,
So they are the reason why I feel better.


I've had to try to evaluate enough products to know that absolutely no one reveals enough information in a freely accessible format to even come close to making an informed decision.
A feature added for no other reason than to draw management attention and be removed, thus avoiding unnecessary changes in other aspects of the product.
I don't know if I actually invented this term or not, but I am certainly not the originator of the story that spawned it.
This started as a piece of Interplay corporate lore. It was well known that producers (a game industry position, roughly equivalent to PMs) had to make a change to everything that was done. The assumption was that subconsciously they felt that if they didn't, they weren't adding value.
The artist working on the queen animations for Battle Chess was aware of this tendency, and came up with an innovative solution. He did the animations for the queen the way that he felt would be best, with one addition: he gave the queen a pet duck. He animated this duck through all of the queen's animations, had it flapping around the corners. He also took great care to make sure that it never overlapped the "actual" animation.
Eventually, it came time for the producer to review the animation set for the queen. The producer sat down and watched all of the animations. When they were done, he turned to the artist and said, "that looks great. Just one thing - get rid of the duck."

27 Mar US live events sector’s CARES Act concerns
The US Government’s $2.2tn (€2tn/£1.8tn) economic stimulus package “stops the bleeding” but does not do enough to stabilise the live events industry in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak, according to Isaac Rothwell, spokesperson for the Live Events Coalition.
On Wednesday, the US Senate passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act with bipartisan support (96-0) in a move designed to mitigate the effects of the pandemic for businesses, individuals, states and workers.
Among other things, the bill established a $350bn loan guarantee programme to help small businesses retain employees on the payroll. However, Rothwell, the national director of operations at Digerati Productions, told TheTicketingBusiness that due to the “unique nature of our industry we require grants and not loans that are later forgiven.”
He continued: “Much of our industry is not financed traditionally and therefore doesn’t have the banking relationships needed to quickly apply and get adequate relief. Additionally, most of the important larger players in our industry are not truly large corporate conglomerates on the national level so the bill left a large hole for relief for medium sized business that are too big for SBA loans and leveraged in such a way that taking on debt is not an option. Basically, we need grants.”
Reflecting Rothwell’s thoughts, Eileen Valois, Live Events Coalition member and senior vice president sports and fan entertainment at PRG Worldwide Entertainment Technology Solutions, said the CARES Act only supports a small number of workers in the industry.
She said the industry is currently focused on trying to get through the crisis period such as covering operating expenses and payroll issues. However, she said the goal of the Live Events Coalition is to be mindful of the industry’s ability to recover and stabilise following this long-term blackout forced upon them by the Covid-19 outbreak.
She added: “Live events came to a grinding halt – literally overnight with no warning. People don’t often realise how expansive the live industry is. It includes so many people from the people who supply the badges, to ticketing firms, merchandise vendors, and promoters, among many others, who are suddenly without a job or an income.”
The CARES Act has made no impact on stabilising the live industry, Rothwell said, adding: “It looks to simulate the entire economy while our sector has no way to generate revenue. So, much more specific measures will have to be taken to address our specific and unique needs that differ greatly from other industries.”
However, both executives acknowledged that the CARES Act’s expanded unemployment is a “step in the right direction,” but notes that most of the 1099 employees, or independent contractors, and salaried employees in the live industry “will not be able to make ends meet without deferring monthly bills.”
Rothwell continued: “There are many middle class single income families in our industry that will not be able to support their families on max unemployment benefits even with an extra $600.
“We are looking at six months to a year shutdown for live events no matter how this plays out and I know for me that would be getting by on 30% of my monthly income to support a family of six. I am as worried for my family, as I am for others, as we sacrifice our livelihoods for the good of our nation.”
The Live Events Coalition was formed earlier this week off the back of Rothwell’s individually-launched petition, which grew legs following support from Valois and others. The Change.org petition, which is directed at President Donald Trump, is seeking a federal aid package that includes Emergency Medicaid Health insurance to cover uninsured business owners, contractors and laid off employees, as well as the ability to submit cancelled contracts as loss of income on 2020 taxes. It is also calling for $200bn in low interest federally backed business liquidity loans and $100bn in employee retention grants to avoid widespread layoffs.
Rothwell told TheTicketingBusiness that the petition would now change course following the CARES Act announcement. He said: “I have been absorbing a lot of data and advice from around the industry and some economic development experts. This will lead to some more specific requests that I believe will stabilise our industry if acted on by the Federal Government.”
The petition has already gained 373,567 signatures, with a target of 500,000.

Phillip Goldstein (investor)
|Alma mater||University of Southern California City College of New York|
|Occupation||Co-founder and partner, Bulldog Investors|
Phillip "Phil" Goldstein is an American investor, former civil engineer, and manager of the hedge fund Bulldog Investors, known for its value-driven investment strategy, its activist investment campaigns and its focus on closed-end mutual funds.
Early life and education
Goldstein was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1945. He decided as a child that he wanted to become an engineer, when his patriotism was inspired by the launch of the Sputnik. He attended the University of Southern California, earning a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in 1966. He then returned to the East Coast to pursue a master's degree in engineering from the City College of New York, which he completed in 1968.
Goldstein spent the first 25 years of his career as a civil engineer for the City of New York, working on projects such as the maintenance and improvement of the Brooklyn Bridge's roadway. In the 1970s he also used his proficiency with math in the game of blackjack, and even considered a career as a professional gambler until he came across a book, "How the Experts Beat the Market," by Thomas C. Noddings. In the book, Noddings, also a former engineer, explains how a mathematically inclined investor can uncover and profit from various market inefficiencies.
Over time, this approach led Goldstein to employ the principal of value investing with a particular emphasis on closed-end funds, in his personal investing. In 1989, he met former Dean Witter associate Steven Samuels at a conference on closed-end funds. Samuels introduced Goldstein to some potential investment clients, and in 1992 the two started Bulldog Investors with $700,000. Andrew Dakos and Rajeev Das later joined as partners.
In 2009, Goldstein and Bulldog Investors ran a proxy contest to elect a new board of directors to Insured Municipal Income Fund, and later renamed it Special Opportunities Fund (NYSE: SPE). Special Opportunities Fund is now managed by Bulldog Investors, along with a group of private funds.
Goldstein and Bulldog Investors remain value-centric, employing a variety of value-oriented investing strategies, and regularly investing in closed-end mutual funds when there is a significant gap between the fund's market value and its net asset value (NAV), or liquidation value. Oftentimes the strategy then includes converting the fund to an open-ended one, or simply liquidating the funds' assets and returning them to shareholders.
Goldstein is a member of the board of directors of Imperial Holdings (NYSE: IFT), the Mexico Equity and Income Fund (NYSE: MXE), ASA Ltd. (NYSE: ASA), the Special Opportunities Fund (NYSE: SPE) and MVC Capital (NYSE: MVC).

FUEL EVAPORATION CONTROL ANO VAPOR RECOVERY CIRCUIT
When engine operates in non turbocharged range, the fuel evaporation control circuit adopted on the turbo version is similar to that used on the aspirated version with pneumatic cut-off valve (4) regulated by pressure inside the intake duct.
During turbocharged operation, system operation is ensured by the presence of a second cut-off valve (SIEMENS) (1). This valve is also controlled by the pressure inside the engine supply duct, however it only opens when the duct pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure (turbocharging).
During turbocharging, the system operates as follows:
fuel vapor cut-off valve (4) is closed by turbocharging pressure in duct upstream of throttle valve;
at the same time, the SIEMENS valve (1). opened as a result of pressure in supply duct, brings the active carbon trap filter (3). via a 3-way connection (6), into communication with compressor inlet (2)
which sucks in the fuel vapor.
The circuit is also fined with a vapor/liquid separator that allows some of the fuel vapors to condense
and flow back to the tank 1n a liquid state.
REMOVING-REFITTING POWER UNIT
1. Drain the air conditioning system by connecting the red hose, of the special equipment, to the needle valve (1) and the blue hose to the needle valve (2); then proceed as described in Section 50 of this manual.
Before carrying out any operation that could cause the emergence of the R134 A coolant, drain the air conditioning system. Wear protective gloves and goggles while draining the system, in order to protect against harmful contact of splashes of R 134A. To facilitate the emptying of the coolant from the air conditioning system, the system should be operated with the engine running for about 10-15 minutes.
Place the car on ramps, disconnect the battery's negative pole, remove the front wheels, then proceed as described below:
2. Disconnect the air inlet duct, complete with resonator, by undoing the bolts shown in the figure which attach it to its mounting brackets.
3. Remove the cover on the i.e. cable/front cable connections from the engine compartment.
4. Lift the protective cover from the positive pole, then disconnect the cable; undo the nut securing the battery to the cage and take the battery out of the engine compartment.


Mike Fratello is a cool guy, I’ve always thought that. Even beforelast summer when I happened to bump into him while he was milling around talking to everybody down at the Feast in Little Italy I held the former Cavaliers coach they call the Czar of the Telestrators in the highest regard. That’s why when I first heard he was coaching the Ukraine National team in this summer’s Eurobasket Tournament, I wasn’t surprised. The guy might be sixty some odd years old, with plenty of money already banked, but he’s always down for new challenges, new hair styles, and he certainly isn’t afraid to rock the latest in European Activewear either – as evidenced by the picture on the right. Coaching the Ukraine National team certainly does qualify as one of those new challenges too, and good on him for giving it a shot.
He’s team isn’t exactly awesome though. There’s plenty of foreign born NBA players and stars that have become synonymous with the countries they call home these days, but Kyrylo Fesenko being from the Ukraine isn’t exactly included in the conversations of Tony Parker being from France, Dirk being from Germany, and even Enes Kanter being from Turkey. His Ukraine team was scheduled to play out of the Eurobasket’s Group D with Slovenia, Russia, Belgium, Bulgaria and Georgia; a group headlined by Russia and Slovenia who are each led by NBAers Andrei Kirilenko and Goran Dragic respectively. Fratello’s only NBA player is the aforementioned Fesenko, and he doesn’t even really get that much burn for the Ukraine.
As a result the Ukraine National Team struggled out the gate, dropping their first two games in the tournament that started on August 31st, but on Saturday Fratello manufactured a big win by way of defeating Bulgaria 67-56 in a game they led by as many as 18. Kyrylo Fesenko from the Utah Jazz only played ten minutes and scored five points in the win over Bulgaria. Steven Bertt on the other hand, and American born in New York who played his college ball at Iona and has since become a natuaralized citizen of the Ukraine – a smart move for Americans playing professionally overseas because it allows more of an opportunity to play on teams restricted to only being allowed to carry two or three Americans at most – scored 17 from his starting PG spot in the win. Alexander Kolchenko, who I never heard of, led all scorers in the win over Bulgaria by dropping 18 for Ukraine.
As far as why Fratello is coaching internationally for the Ukraine specifically, OneManFastBreak.com broke those details down over the weekend for some background:
The idea of Fratello becoming Ukraine’s coach was rooted all the way back during Fratello’s days with the Hawks when he coached Alexander Volkov (then a player on Russian’s national team). Volkov is now the head of Ukraine’s basketball federation and he reached out to his former coach to fill in an all important role for his country’s basketball program.
“He called me up one day and said he needed me to coach his team,” Fratello said on NBA TV back in July. “We kept talking and talking, and somewhere along the way I thought this would be an interesting challenge so I took the opportunity.”
Fratello added that it was a risky move for him because it’s tackling on a new culture and vastly different philosophy from a basketball standpoint. “What worked in the NBA may not work here,” he said. “We may not have the talent [or the athleticism of the NBA], but it’s a much more physical game over here. Very physical. They pass and cut so much harder, and much more ball movement. And you have guys who can make shots. The skill level is much higher than what you thought it would be.”
As for the language barrier? “I made sure to repeat to [the players], if you don’t understand me make sure you let me know and we’ll either say it differently or use one of the assistant coaches or one of the people around us everyday in the gym to break it down or repeat it over again,” Fratello said. “But most of them have done a pretty good job in understanding my language and what I’m trying to say from a basketball standpoint.
“It has been very difficult. You have to simplify things.”
It became difficult again on Sunday following up the win over Bulgaria as well. In a game that essentially determined third place in the group, and the opportunity to move onto the second round, the Ukraine got up-ended by Georgia 69-53 in a game they needed to move to 2-2 overall. After dropping 17in the win on Saturday, the New Yorker Bertt was held to only eleven. He didn’t get much help either, as he led the Ukraine in scoring with that number. Fratello’s squad fell to 1-3 for the tournament, and needs a lot to happen to advance at this point. But if I know anything about Mike Fratello coached teams, I’d guess he built a solid foundation upon which the Ukraine can build on next season. Hopefully he’s back out there next time around as well to help get those guys out of the first round too. Whether he does or not though, I’m sure all those players are better for the time they spent with Mike Fratello this summer, can’t see how they wouldn’t be.
Note: Mike Fratello’s overall NBA coaching record is 667-548. During his time on the sidelines in Cleveland from 1993-99 his Cavaliers team went 315-212, with playoff appearances in 4 of those 6 seasons.

There’s a scene in Silver Linings Playbook, one of last year’s big Oscar contenders, in which Bradley Cooper’s mentally unstable character, Pat Solitano, is reading Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. He ends up tossing the book through a window, following with a rant about the unnecessary heartbreak that plays out near the end of the oft-assigned reading for high schoolers. It’s bullshit, he shouts in the wee hours of the morning (I’m paraphrasing, of course). Why should an otherwise heroic and heartwarming story end with such agony?
Mental instability aside, I know that feeling. I remember it vividly. My moment occurred similar to that of the fictional Pat, both happened in the wee hours of the morning and both involved throwing a book violently in disgust with a particular turn of events. The only difference, of course, is that I don’t look much like Bradley Cooper. And the slayer of my goodwill and optimism wasn’t Ernest Hemingway, it was George R.R. Martin. Tonight, somewhere around 10:00PM in whatever time zone you reside, those of you who have never read any of the Song of Fire and Ice books found out exactly to what I am referring. And thanks to some exceptional storytelling choices by the Game of Thrones team, you really got to feel it. Like that night I put a dent in the wall with A Storm of Swords, this is one you’ll never forget.
While this week’s long-awaited (by show watchers having to wait an extra week) and long-dreaded (by book readers who knew what was coming) episode delivers final moments worth long-form discussion, I’d like to take a moment and talk about why the final shot and cut-to-silence were so effective. Perhaps it will help in some therapeutic way for those of you who are huddled up in the fetal position in the corner of the room having some sort of panic attack. Because after tonight’s episode, I was seeing Tweets like the following. And now I feel like we need to tackle this emotional breakdown together.
@rejects i am dead inside
— Michael Brawley (@Director91) June 3, 2013
Yeah, I know the feeling…
“The Rains of Castamere,” written by the show’s leading men (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss) and directed by David Nutter (this his third episode, so a somewhat unexpected face to put on such a pivot-point for the series) lays on heavy with two themes: the escalating brutality that exists in the world of Westeros, and the sense of dread we’ve long felt that the Starks will never again be a whole family.
The first notion expands well beyond the wedding of Edmure Tully and the lone hot daughter of Walder Frey. The escalation of brutality is something seen as an expansive element in this episode. Way up north, the wildlings get down to the business of killing people, which doesn’t quite sit well with Jon Snow. Despite the love for Ygritte that’s been building for an entire season, he shows off his true colors and bails on his lady. In the process, we get our first look at some badass direwolf action
which only makes the shot of Robb’s wolf dying later that much more heartbreaking. There is also plenty of killing happening across the sea, where Daario Naharis (ever the charmer) proves his loyalty to Dany by winning her Yunkai. It feels as though it rushes by as it’s intercut with what’s happening in Walder Frey’s house, but we do get forward momentum in the politics at work around the Khaleesi. And we get to see the beginnings of a battle. Surely there’s more work to be done between Dany and her crew as they move forward. And surely it will be bloody.
These moments, especially when combined with the discovery of Bran’s gift (a very cool moment that has finally made Bran’s story pop), remind us that not only is this world brutal, it’s also much bigger than what happens at the wedding. It’s important to remember, though difficult to see at this point, that there’s still so much story happening out there even as it feels like our world has come crashing down.
Why does it feel as if it’s all crumbling? Because of timing and framing and one hell of a performance from Michelle Fairley. The episode’s big finale isn’t just about characters we love dying. Sure, that happens. Even seeing characters we’ve only recently become fond of dying (looking at you, Robb’s hot wife) is hard to do. Especially when juxtaposed with further fracturing of the Stark clan. Bran and Rickon are parting ways, Arya was this close to meeting her family, then this close to dying alongside them, and now her fate is completely uncertain. And we like Arya! So unfair…
Ahem. Sorry, I get a little emotional.
The brilliance of the episode’s final moments is delivered by the show’s ability to create a haunting mood. From the moment Random Frey #36 closes the doors to the hall, something doesn’t feel right. Then the music changes to “The Rains of Castamere” (this time not performed by The National) and Michelle Fairley’s performance takes over. We see it in her eyes as she realizes that something is off. As the sense of overwhelming dread overcomes her face, it also creeps up the spines of the audience. For the first time that I can recall, the show visually captures the same exact series of emotions as the book, from the exact point of view of a particular character. We see the end of Robb Stark through the eyes of his mother, who at the beginning of this episode found herself seeing their relationship on the the cusp of being healed. The problem is that while honest, Robb Stark is also naive. And it took him far too long to figure out that his mother was right about not crossing Walder Frey. The show wasn’t shy about foreshadowing that in this episode, just as it hasn’t been shy about leading us down this path from about the midway point in this season. It’s the culmination of the dread and the brutal, unflinching way the deaths were filmed that make it hurt. It’s the capturing of the complexity of those final moments. Catelyn’s realization of what’s about to happen. Her desperate play to try and save her son’s life. Her bluff being called. Her following through and killing Frey’s child-young wife. Then the utter defeat in her eyes as her own throat sprays red all over. It’s hard to imagine a more gruesome and affecting way to kill off any character, let alone one so integral to the story thus far. It’s also hard to imagine that Fairley’s performance in this scene alone won’t earn her some sort of award consideration when votes are counted.
Based on the preview of next week’s episode, I have no doubt that there will be plenty of time to reflect upon what just happened. The shock of Catelyn Stark’s final moment and the silence that followed will be worth continuing talking about once we get some distance from it. For now, it’s worth celebrating the craft of mood-creating that went into this episode. Everything from bringing back the lively, creepy, twisted David Bradley as Walder Frey to the moment shared between Arya and Robb’s dying wolf. Every piece fit together, every moment carried weight.
I wish I could make an “It Gets Better” ad for non-readers. Those who probably feel like the heart of this world they love has just been ripped out. All I can really say with confidence is that while it might not actually get better, the show certainly will go on. Because hey, at least there are still dragons, right guys?
Next Week: The shadow of the Red Wedding (there, I said it) falls upon Westeros. Expect more reflection and perhaps more darkness. That night, it sure is dark and full of terrors.

FAIRBANKS (AP) -- For about 100 people in Fairbanks, Thanksgiving meant celebrating Inupiat style.
There was plenty of caribou, moose and whale meat -- but no turkey -- in the festivities held Thursday at the First Presbyterian Church.
Mable Hopson, the church's ruling elder in charge of Inupiat activities, said there was no planned menu. Everyone just brought whatever they could to the feast.
The buffet table held little of the usual Thanksgiving fare. Among the offerings were moosehead, caribou and duck soup. One salad included a mixture of dried caribou, dried salmon strips, dried bearded seal, roots, muktuk and seal oil. For dessert, there was Eskimo ice cream.
For the main course, there was smelt, whitefish and more than 100 pounds of muktuk shipped from Barrow. That's an enormous amount of whale blubber and most of it was given out for diners to take home.
Hopson said the Native food selection was not a repudiation of the expected Thanksgiving feast. Rather, it serves as a link with ancestors in Inupiat lands, she said.
Hopson said she believes a Thanksgiving feast has been held in her hometown of Barrow since the first Presbyterians arrived more than a century ago.
''Ever since the missionaries went up there, they've been having Thanksgiving,'' she told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. She the tradition was picked up in Fairbanks about 40 years ago.
The allure of the meal for many is the chance to catch up with friends and acquaintances. The church's Inupiat community holds a number of events, but none as big as this one, with the possible exception of their Christmas meal.
''When we get together it's just fun and wonderful to see friends -- a lot of friends we don't get to see all year round,'' said Janie Snyder, a Barrow native and current North Pole resident.
For many, the other draw is the menu. Many of these foods aren't readily available in Fairbanks. But there's no moratorium on bringing in more common Thanksgiving fare either. Turkey often has appeared in past years.
More orthodox Thanksgiving fare seemed to be in the cards for some of the attendees anyway. Hopson said that she would likely end up having turkey at home for dinner. Snyder, who is married to a non-Native, said she would, too.
''My other family's coming,'' she said.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to sit down with Jackie Gagliardi, who is a part of the core faculty here at MSPP and the coordinator of the Couples and Family Therapy program. I am currently taking Collaborative Therapy with Multistressed Families and Professor Gagliardi is a wonderful teacher on this subject. She holds many years in this field under her belt, and with that comes a multitude of experiences and stories. Professor Gagliardi is a licensed marriage and family therapist, clinical supervisor, consultant and co-author of Study-Guide for the Marriage and Family Therapy National Licensing Examination. She holds a Master’s in Education in Counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Family Systems from Northeastern University.
For many years, Professor Gagliardi worked as a play therapist for children, and overtime she noticed that, although the children would initially improve, they would eventually come back, because the family was not working together as a unit. She realized that the work she was doing with an individual could only go so far, unless the family was brought in and everyone made an agreement to cooperate. This motivated her to pursue a CAGS in Family Systems. She also had the unique opportunity of training at the Family Institute in Cambridge, MA.
Professor Gagliardi has had a private practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts for 33 years specializing in individual, couple and family therapy. She also has had a consulting business, in which she had the opportunity to connect with schools, family owned business and clinics, including community agencies. While juggling all of this, she has run numerous parent groups and teacher workshops and been a critical part of Kantor Family Institute in Cambridge. Professor Gagliardi was involved in the founding of The Family Solutions Institute, which grew out of Kantor Family Institute.
Her experiences as a therapist helped drive her to teach future clinicians. She was the co-director of the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Cambridge College and an adjunct faculty member of the Andover Newton Theological School and at Wheelock College. She became a part of the MSPP community five years ago and is actively involved in every part of the CFT program here. In fact, she serves as an advisor to many of the CFT students, including myself.
When designing the CFT concentration at MSPP, Professor Gagliardi and the other team members decided to name the program “Couples and Family Therapy” instead of the traditional “Marriage and Family Therapy.” Professor Gagliardi advocated for this unique title because she wanted to acknowledge that the definition of relationships is changing and that there all many types of couples. “You do not need to be married to seek therapy,” she commented and specifying marriage in the title would not honor other relationships and this societal change.
Professor Gagliardi is driven by her desire to help people, thus she also finds the time to be a member of the Massachusetts Board of Allied Mental Health. As a part of this team, she is advocating for consumers and their protection and serves as the representatives of Marriage and Family Therapists on the board. She has the distinct chance to review applications for licensure in different disciplines.
She suggests that prospective and current students in family therapy programs should definitely go for all the way and apply for licensure as an LMFT, especially now that Massachusetts has given vendorship to LMFT’s. This means that LMFT’s can now bill insurances for the work they do, which is crucial to our progress. “Now that we have vendorship, the field will be growing and there will be an increase in jobs, especially due to Children’s Initiative, and in wraparound services and home based work,” she says.
Professor Gagliardi also recommends that therapists work to continue their education, even after they graduate. She advises that attending workshops and conferences are not only great networking tools, but also excellent ways to introduce balance into your life.
When asked about her many projects and what they mean to her, Professor Gagliardi remarks, “I am really excited because my passion is to train couples and family therapists to serve the underserved and to become competent and culturally sensitive therapists.”
Professor Gagliardi previously served as a board member of the Massachusetts Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and back in November, MSPP hosted the MAMFT board members, who spoke with CFT students regarding career opportunities. MSPP also hosted MFT program directors for their quarterly meeting.
“I love what I do and the thing I love the most is to be able to help people communicate and find a way to live their preferred lives. I think of all the times I have met with people and how in the end, we worked to find a way to improve the quality of their life. However small or large the change was, it was contributing to their quality of life, and I had a unique hand in that,” Professor Gagliardi remarks. Her passion is not only evident in her impressive criterion but also in the stories she shares with her students. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and encouraging, and I am honored to have the opportunity to train under her guidance.


Sending layoff notices to almost 80 Palm Beach County government employees before finalizing next year’s budget was “garbage,” according to union representative Richard Poulette.
Poulette, president of CWA Local 3181, has called for the County Commission to “take back” the lay off notices and cut other spending to allow workers to keep their jobs.
Poulette took County Administrator Robert Weisman to task for moving ahead with layoffs before the commission gives final approval to next year’s budget in September.
“Jobs should be the top priority,” Poulette said. “Sometimes Bob moves a little bit too quickly. …Who runs this thing?”
County commissioners during the next two months must decide whether to cut deeper or stick with plans for a property tax rate increase of as much as 15 percent.
The county anticipates eliminating 200 or more positions in response to tax revenues dropping amid a struggling economy. But that includes vacant positions and the actual layoffs could be less than 100 people, as opposed to the 180 layoffs once anticipated.
That’s still too many, according to Poulette. The county should cut programs and services deeper to avoid adding to the ranks of the unemployed, he said.
Employees who receive a layoff notification have five days to decide between two options: They can take two months pay as severance and leave or they can continue working in the position for two months, keep receiving health coverage during that time and apply for other county jobs. The layoff can also be rescinded within that two-month period.
The union represents 1,400 county employees in what Poulette called mostly “blue collar” jobs that include parks employees, animal care, maintenance and security.
