a decision makers that means first of all completely different business secondly completely different knowledge and preparation in advance we must read we must know we must research and study in detail the social media in a way that we really know how to react from that perspective and that changes our relations or whatever call it these days is that we are not anymore a bridge between our client and media you know how it was our client comes to the PR company sometimes also in your beautiful country media maybe still exists but PR client comes to the PR company and we approach the media and then through media we reach the clients it's not anymore like that my friends because we are the media we know how to manage the media of our clients we still have from time to time cases the client comes to our offices and I'm sure that you have the same case as well the Hedosto and they say Mr. PR expert or Mr. Behara whatever we would like to have a PR service but no social media because my secretary is very good on Facebook or my secretary puts pictures on Instagram and they're very nice pictures they're strong they're strong because we are the experts we know how to manage the content so we are not anymore the bridge between our clients and the media because we represent the media and also we represent our clients in front of public the other change I really if it's a revolution is that the public relations acts today are a very sophisticated chemistry between publishers, editors and reporters and others publishers because we are on media this is the definition of a publisher someone calls media editors of course because we take care of the content and we take care very carefully and very professionally of the content we are the editors the editors take care of the content we are reporters because the characteristic the definition of reporter is someone who publishes if we put anything on social media even on traditional media without news then it will not be interesting then it will not be read then it will not be republished so we are a chemistry between publishers editors and reporters a big change in our business is that there is a very fast merge between the three most important elements of the public communications business advertising, public relations digital so those three elements are merging very fast into one and there is a big fight who will be the leader of the future business because it is already one business advertising, public relations digital no matter that very often we have different companies but at the end of the day this is one and the same business for one and the same target better promotion better branding better sales for our clients but there is a fight because a lot of people have mixed feelings who will be in the future business some say advertising and the advertising people say I'm sure in India it's the same we are the leaders because we own creative we own the media buying we pay the media the best money because that's the reality you know the advertising it generates the best turnovers, first revenues then digitals they say no no no we are the leaders because without us without our tabs without our applications without our involvement in the website, search engine optimization and all those details guys will be zero but then I say that public relations business will be the leader of the future big united business and the reason is very simple we are the masters of the content we own the content you can have the best application you can have the best tabs you can have the most important biggest budget for media without content the product is zero without content we cannot do anything so we public relations experts are the managers of the content and then let me go back to the base of our business the very base, like every building has a base and then you start building on the top of the base no matter what materials or design you will use what color of the bricks or what color of the walls the base is the most important and to be honest the base of our business is still and it will not change never ethics, transparency freedom of expression freedom of making decisions freedom of writing freedom of creation but ethics and full transparency and freedom are the very base of our business details are very important and the more experience is the person I think the professionals the more we should take a look at the small details because they can ruin they can devastate even our business I have a very good example how people should put their attention on details for sure Conrad Hilton the late Conrad Hilton he's not anymore alive but he's the founder of the famous Hilton hotel network and about 20 years ago he was a guest in Jay Leno show and at the end of the conversation Jay Leno sent Mr Hilton you have 15 seconds 20 seconds to say to the viewers to our friends 20 million people who are watching this show the most important thing in your life you have the camera so Mr Hilton look at the camera and say dear guests of Hilton hotels when you take a shower you put the carton inside the bath because a lot of people a lot of water is waste outside thank you very much Mr Hilton who owns hundreds of hotels all over the world the most important thing was to save the water put the curtains inside the bathroom and it's a brilliant example how all we public relations experts should look at the details providing our strategies our programs providing our services to the client and let me finish I have a lot of rules and laws which I created all over the years published in many many books billions copies sold all over the world including the one in India this is the 3S rule 3S is something which is driving my business is driving my behavior with my clients and with my team 3S means speed, simplicity self-confidence full speed I talked about speed at the very beginning speed of answering speed of taking decisions speed of learning new things speed of serving the client speed of giving the advices the faster the better don't be afraid of mistakes don't be afraid of wrong decisions the faster the better simplicity the same as we are loaded with millions of hundreds of thousands of females whatever simplicity we should implement making our priorities if we do today three things, not three hundred then it will be done much better than three hundred not done or done partly and then my friends the fastest self-confidence nobody who can succeed without self-confidence without trusting her abilities and knowledge and providing good service to the client going back to the beginning with this I'm finished remember this is a new business with new name with new abilities and this makes our life much more beautiful because in one life we change at least two types of businesses shukria and I will finish with my favorite phrase in Hindi which I'm using always shukria thank you Mr. Bahair it was indeed a very enthralling session and we look forward to see you very soon in Delhi as we speak and in case anybody has any questions for Mr. Bahair please do share with us I think this will be all thank you for

I am lucky to have had 26 sort of professions from the field of India and Hong Kong, who aided me during the judging process. And I'm glad to have had this opportunity to interact with the quality of it. I'm simply astounded and impressed by the quality of entries that have come in the past year. Public relations and profit communication are important and crucial part of every brand or organization, and this year's entries proved to be a testament to that. The negatives and positive. Overall, it was a very positive thing. Of course, all the entries put out amongst others for the creative and success in communicating the brand's message. But like I said, all the entries made me believe that we are making serious progress in making PR and corporate communication an essential part of day-to-day business. And I'm very glad to have been part of this process. What is your view about importantization in physical and community? I would like to congratulate and applaud you for continuously striving to acknowledge the importance of PR in Hong Kong and believe their vision for the PR committee is one that personally supports. And we'd like to see them achieve their vision more. It was indeed a great honor to be a part of the esteemed jury for this year's IPR CCA Awards. Thank you, Exchange for Media, for the opportunity. It was a wonderful experience to judge so many entries under different categories. At the same time, it's always challenging to select the best from the best. You saw some very interesting and impressive work and a few of the entries were absolutely outstanding. Exchange for Media team is doing a fantastic job for the PR and corporate communication fraternity. This is the 13th edition of the IPR CCA Awards, which shows the commitment, success and prestige that is associated with these awards. Good ols to Dr. Anurag Bhatra, Karan and the entire Europe media team. Thank you. I'm Bhatna Anurag. I had communications for Kotevaya to science at South Asia. Pleased to be a part of the E4M IPR CCA 2022 jury. Got some time to interact with the interesting set of PR folks from the community and fraternity. Good conversations. What was good this time was looking at the number of entries. I think there were hundreds of entries which came along and a variety of entries. Communications today is blurring the lines with marketing and digital marketing. So there is a great opportunity for us as communication experts to do a lot more that align with business goals and deliver business objectives. And that's exactly what I saw in the entries this time. And I guess my fellow jury members also agree with me. The IPR CCA Awards are a really great initiative. The quality of entries that you've got this year are really great. There were a few entries which were really disruptive in nature and the stuff that they have done and the things that they have achieved. A lot of small brands and a lot of new startups that have made entries and are doing some critically acclaimed work, that gives us hope that there's a lot of disruption that is yet to be achieved in the space that we all are. A few good initiatives that are being done and something that we can also invite in our daily routine. And it kind of gives me a challenge that the amount of creativity that's growing out there, that we need to start doing a lot more and kind of start kind of challenging our boundaries. And I think to be part of the jury of the IPR CCA 2022, these prestigious awards are well-known in the industry for marketing communications, innovations in PR communications, and my new consultant as the board standard in awards. I was very privileged to be part of a Power Pack jury and we had some amazing talent that was displayed through innovations and campaigns across a range of fields. It was really a tough ask for us to be judged the best out of the lot, but we had a job to do and the recommendations were quite intense and quite deep and I'm glad that we were able to do a lot of something senses. My commendations to all those who got nominated and congratulations to all the winners. I hope through this forum and these awards, we are spurred to innovate, to communicate and to make a difference in people's lives. Thank you. I'm Shwetha Manjwagan. I'm very thrilled to be part of the exchange for media's IPR CCA awards as a jury member. If I have to describe how the overall judging process was, I would just say that it was challenging and rewarding. The reason that I say challenging, we got to do that 600 plus entries and obviously that overwhelmed us. We were rewarding definitely because what we could witness was creativity, ingenuity, and shared display of talent. The overall judging process was very rigorous, fair, thorough, and transparent. Each entry, there was careful consideration given to each entry. All the entries were evaluated based on their innovation, their creativity, impact, and overall effectiveness. Just to ensure that the best campaigns are recognized, while the entire process was very intensive, it truly was equally rewarding too. Before I actually move on, I definitely want to mention that I was very impressed with the professionalism and expertise of my fellow jury members. I actually felt that our collective insights, perspectives truly helped to, or when you will be rewarded, you will realize that truly helped ensure that the winning entries that are coming out are the ones that truly represent the best investment in our industry. Airworks is one of India's oldest and the biggest independent maintenance fair and overall company in the integration sector in India. It was a moment to be part of the jury with Exchange for Media and the 2022 awards. The judging experience was so delightful. It was highly enriching for me to be able to not just engage with the qualified management across the industry, various sectors, but also really an honor to be able to see the kind of work that was happening as part of the nomination that was in the demo. The entire judging process was very comprehensive. It was very well planned and executed by the team at Exchange for Media and I compliment this to all of them for the hard work that they did. Which also made the whole process very exhaustive for us, but I think at the end of it, it was all worth it. So congratulations to everyone. Judging in the awards function, can be both challenging and rewarding to select the deserving winner. As Comcom professionals, we have to remarkate between all media campaigns versus advertising driven campaigns. This year, have we been challenging to select winners because E4M received more than 200 entries in the shortlisted stage. The number of creative ideas and innovations that we got to read were quite exciting and interesting. We are very happy that Exchange for Media has played a very key role in a Comcom's professional life for more than two decades now. And with digital and technology playing a very key driver, we hope to see Exchange for Media to bring a lot more to the table and make a lot more exciting plans for all of us. I love judging the campaigns in various categories. There were campaigns and the campaigns were really good. The experience was overall good and my fellow jury members, it was really, really very good to interact with them and to understand what we were thinking about different campaigns, what were their views. So yeah, overall, the experience was really nice and I look forward to some more great judging processes. Some of the campaigns, like on sustainability, I wouldn't name the campaigns, but some of the campaigns were really well thought through and I saw there was a lot of effort was gone, had gone into kind of submit those campaigns and the way that they had submitted it, it made it very clear what was the objective and what they need to deliver. So it was very happening to see that our industry is taking that kind of effort and actually doing some great work. So overall, if you ask me what stood out on some of the great campaigns on sustainability, some of the great campaigns, which actually kind of we are led campaigns with where we kind of went on to become kind of an extension of marketing, those stood out. Some individual awards also, the individual categories, some of them were really good. Yeah, that is what I would say actually stood out. See, this is, I always used to think that for the PR and corporate communications community, we need to have a body, which kind of thinks about this community. We have seen community for marketing, for HR and it has been long due that PR.


you know, for me, I can be quite empathic, but if they're saying something that is sad or, you know, a trauma and I've not had a reaction to it, for me, there's something just not right about it. Yeah. And you might well confront that with cards. Yeah. Yeah. For example. Yeah. But that's how I feel my intuition is in the room is when he just doesn't sit right with me. Yeah. No, it's that behavioural. So it's an interesting one, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. And again, it's another tool to use in the therapy room along with everything else and to be aware of it, you know, that it's okay to be intuitive. Excellent. We demystify what goes on behind the therapy room door. Join us on this voyage of discovery and co-creative conversations. This is The Therapy Show behind closed doors podcast with Bob Cook and Jackie Jones. Welcome back to episode 74 of The Therapy Show behind closed doors with myself and the wonderful. I'm going back to that one, Bob. I'll stick with that one. Is that? Yeah. The wonderful Mr. Bob Cook. And in this episode, we're going to be looking at intuition and important consideration in the therapy process. Yeah. Wonderful subject. I mean, as I say, I burned the originator of TA, wrote about intuition in 1957 in his book, but many people have written about intuition. Which book, Bob? Can you remember? I think it's just called Intuition. Is it? I need to look that one up. It's years ago. It was 1957, still about 78 years ago. But many people have written about intuition. I remember one of my therapists talking about magic encyclopedia for a long time, ever before I started to train. And after 40 odd years, I think I still think really part of therapy is about, I'm not talking about woo-woo land here when I say magic.  Yeah. I can remember when I first started training and was very, very enthusiastic with the family and particularly my kids. And I think it was my son that said, don't do that voodoo stuff on me. Literally, that was how we referred to it. If I was kind of, you know, analyzing him or going a bit deep or something, he says, you're using that voodoo stuff on me again. But it does seem like that sometimes. Yeah. And I think for the therapists themselves, they might feel those things. I have an interesting position in some ways. And it might sound actually contradictory when we're talking about intuition, but I think intuition needs to be linked with some intention of clinical thought. Yeah. Because otherwise it can just be part of script. So, you know, when is intuition not script and when is script or intuition is an interesting question. But when I followed my intuition, and I don't know, suggesting some intuitive experimentation to do with, say, helping a person move away from a stuck place or something. And it works. I do take it to supervision to attempt to understand perhaps the grain of truth or some clinical aspect towards what actually happened. Yeah. And I've always found that useful. Yeah. Most often the supervisor and I do come up some clinical thinking and tracing it back. And sometimes we don't. It's really interesting because how do we know whether it is intuition? That gut feeling about something. What do we do with it? I've had it in the therapy sessions and it has played out.  But there was a lot of self-doubt with me. I thought there was something I'd missed or that was wrong with me that I felt the way that I did. That's right. And one of the sort of, what's the word I want? When we're training people to be psychotherapists, they often get so hooked up on. And often I think it's the trainers or could be the trainers style or zealots or whatever we look at this. Well, the trainers believe in getting things right and wrong. They sort of eliminate intuition. In other words, the search to get right and wrong, you know, what they're doing right or what they're doing wrong and hopefully do things right by the book or whatever it is, takes away their experimental and intuitive capacities.  And I think some ways psychotherapy trainers buy into that, certainly at the beginning of the therapeutic training. And also those that psychotherapy training where there's exams at the end and there's evaluations and all sorts of things. So the therapist is very anxious about doing things which are the inverted commas being the right transactionalist. So intuition gets taken away or the risk taken that might think in their heads about intuition. They don't do so much. Yeah, I took mine to supervision and it really helped. My response to something wasn't my normal response and I couldn't get me ed around why that was. So I think it's important to often follow intuition and also do what you did. Which is taken to supervision to attempt to get an understanding of the etiology of the intuitive process. Yeah, because we all have it, you know, evidently it's been said and I'm not sure who says it. You know, as children, we're very intuitive, but we tend to logicalise the older that we get. So we don't really pay much attention to it when we get older. And does that not sort of parallel the psychotherapy programme? Yeah, yeah. Or can do, doesn't mean it has to. Yeah. You know, and it's often the same, well, you've said it, as we grow up and we get socialised and you get normalised and all these things that go with it, we can leave our intuition out of the window. And quite often, I think there's a lot, by the way, the clients to come or the trainees that might come in the training programme who have not perhaps been so socialised or they allow themselves to be more free in their intuitive processes often gets seen as what I started the podcast off on. Some are there in this vague woo-woo land. Yeah. Any thinking? I love that woo-woo. You know me, I'm a very logical person. I like diagrams. I like, you know, this is the process and this is what we do. That fits well with me. So when intuition hits me, I doubt it. I really struggle with my own intuitive parts. I need proof. What's it about? And things like that. So, yeah, it is, to me, woo-woo sometimes. And yeah, in that woo-woo land, often it's such a grain of creativity. Yeah. Yeah. I like to think of myself as a highly creative and unfortunately, I sometimes can, I can justify it away by saying, well, I've dyspraxic or dyslexic, which means I'm creative. And at the same time, I realise I'm sort of still sort of seeing intuition as a inadvertent company, a wrong process of the little bit. It took me a long time to be proud of my creativity in the therapy process and be to take risks in the creative process. Yeah. However, that is when my therapy skills have been really excelled when I've used creativity. Yeah. And I think I've become more attached to my intuition. Like I said, I took this particular event to my supervisor and she was very supportive of it was intuition. You know, and that we need to trust our intuition sometimes. You can't explain why it's just intuition. Yeah. So, I'm great for no intuition and I also like what you said earlier on. You took it to supervision and attempt to put some clinical meat on it. Yeah. And gave me permission as well that it's OK to have intuitive thinking and thought process in the therapy room. Well, without it, I think we'd have a more sterile type of therapy. Yeah. And I love the way that you said to be able to take risks as well. For me, it felt often some of the creative experiments that I did, often for me, intuitive plays and I thought things like, well, the process will sort itself out. We can learn from the process. So that was part of the permission giving. Yeah, without that, I think my therapy style would be very different. Yeah. I know one thing for certain, it'd be far more cognitive. Yeah. And actually less contactful. Totally. Yeah. But this, you know, for me in the early days, I didn't have the confidence to be a risk taker in therapy. I think the more I did it, the more open I was to. I don't want to say throwing the rulebook out of the window because obviously I didn't do that, but just be open to trying new things. I think intuition creatively, then the same ballpark. And I think it's in the TA examination evaluation sheet that you mark people when you listen to their tapes of their clinical work. And yes, it is. And I was also glad that intuition was there. But it was linked in with intuition and creativity. Yeah. Which, again, we have touched on, you know, in recent podcasts about the different types of therapy that you can do, you know, because if you keep slogging down the same route and it's not working, there has to be some creativity in how to make that connection and that therapeutic relationship and do something different. Maybe that you're not training and just try it. So it's a wonderful world intuition. So I always give my supervisors permission to take those risks and come back and tell me how it got on. Yeah. Because again, you know, if you've got the therapeutic relationship, you will know whether it's paying off or not if you're taking a risk. But like you said, there's always a learning experience from it and to experience something new for us as a therapist and, you know, the person receiving therapy. Yeah. I think I did get quite experimental at one point. I used to have some rocks with different images on and different sayings. And, you know, if ever we were in a stuck place, I'd get them to look at all these rocks and see which one resonated with them and just do something completely different and see what happened. And often they were the best sessions because it opened up a whole new avenue for discussion. Yeah. And often we bypass cognition. Yeah. And often it's the cognition, which might be a great strength, but also a great weakness. Yeah. You know, I would say enjoyment of class are made to have got high cognitive skills, but that's not why they've come to therapy. They've usually come to therapy because they want to find a different way of connecting the cognitive. Yeah. Being brave in the therapy room as well was a learning curve for me. Yeah. Being more potent, so to speak. I had one client that used to use this derogatory term that she described herself as all the time. So I banned it and said she wasn't allowed to use that word in the therapy room anymore, which for me was quite a stand. You know, I'm not usually that forward in therapy room, but it seemed to work with her. So we explored different words that she could use to describe herself. Oh, great. Good experiments. Yeah, it was and it worked out well. But for me, it might not sound like taking a risk with anybody listening. But for me, that was quite a big risk, you know, because it could be quite shaming. But, you know, we spoke about it, we laughed about it and it's banned from the room now. Great. Good. I like those sort of clinical experiments. Yeah, because it doesn't need to be a massive experiment. We don't need to radically change the way that we're doing anything, but just to, you know, go with our intuition and try something new. Because for me, every time they were saying this word, it was just reinforcing the negative way that they see themselves. Good. So I think courage, being brave, risk taking and just exploring different methods of contact is hardly useful. Tell me a little bit about what you meant earlier on when you were saying is it script or is it intuition? How do we know the difference? Well, I don't know if, I think, I don't know where, if you mentioned, talked about in that book, thinking perhaps he did.  Well, perhaps you don't people someday. But there is an unconscious plan, learning history, that we play out today, we enact out. Yeah, if it's positive messages and positive scripts, if you like, or healthy scripts, we don't often see those people in therapy. It's when they're following or they made decisions, which were survival decisions at the time, but now actually doesn't help them. So they need a different set of permissions and different decisions, rather than the outdated ones. So they've got a, you know, a new script, if you like. But if they are actually coming from a place where they were perhaps surviving in a way that was, you know, so important for them all those years ago, you know, and then help the men, but doesn't help now. It's like, when you start following intuition, oh, so I'll go step back. So the original decisions were not protective. They seem protective at the time, but they certainly perhaps weren't or they haven't been, they haven't been learned protection. So what might see is it might be seen as intuition, might be not particularly protective. Right. So that's what I'm saying. What's intuition and what's excessive risk taking or what might be really part of somebody's script. That's what I mean. Right. That is really a person's, what seems to be intuitive functioning, coming from a place which actually isn't healthy, say, you know, they've not learned to protect themselves or something. Yeah. Does that make sense? I think so. Yeah. Explaining in a way which has some clarity to it. Yeah. But what may appear in intuition in terms of creative expression, whatever it is, might actually be something they've just had to decide how to be in a way of surviving, but actually is unhealthy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For the client, it's healthy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, I think script analysis is really important in terms of looking at, you know, what were the decisions they made in terms of their coping mechanisms all those years ago for surviving, which actually got them through sort of. Yeah. But today doesn't help them. Yeah. And again, I know we've spoke about it, but for me, you know, a lot of it is it was the best that they could come up with at the time and it worked because they're still here, but it's not necessarily helpful now. Yeah. Yeah. Keep following that process, which they may mistake as intuition. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yes. Yeah. It doesn't help them. Yeah. Yeah. So I think the thing I've picked out that there can be other examples, of course, was the excessive risk taker that can be seen as creative and often whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It actually isn't. Yeah. There's something they learn to do because their parent applauded them all, or they never taught the parent never taught them protective skills or protective boundaries. And they enact that out today. And perhaps that's called intuition, but actually it's not. It's part of our script process. Yeah. I was just thinking of somebody who who's into bungee jumping. Yeah. And into, I don't know if this is the right word, excessive sports, but doing dangerous things. It's a word for it, high stimulus. Yes. Yeah. Now, you're just into excessive this or excessive that. Extreme, isn't it? Extreme. That's the word. Yeah. Now, he might say, and he's not here and he hasn't come back from the bungee jumping yet, but he might say, oh, well, I was just following my intuition. Yeah. Example, or something like that. But it's not, but if we trace it back, maybe that he was, you know, not actually modelled any protection skills, for example. Yeah. So that's what I meant when discussing, considering what script and what's intuition. Yeah. Yeah. Living life on the edge. Yeah. Yeah. Intuition or is it something that's been modelled down? Or they've decided it's a way of keeping away from social contact, for example. Yeah. Because it was home, you know, whatever you want to look at. So it's an interesting situation to talk about, isn't it? Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. And, you know, a topic of interest because, yeah, it might be quite a while before it comes out in the therapy room. You know, like that somebody taking part in excessive sports or being a risk taker. Well, they may have had to do that or believe they had to do that to get strokes and admiration on a parent. And if they didn't, maybe they were being ridiculed for being boring and XXX. So they decided that this is the best way to survive in response to the parent-child dynamic. Nice to enact that today. Yeah. Which, again, links into what we were talking about earlier, when, you know, if the complete opposite message and strokes are coming from the parent, that it's all, you know, think about your actions before you do it. It's all cognitive and it's all, you know, logical and the intuition and the risk taking is completely gone. Yeah. Be sensible. Think about your actions. Think before you speak. All those sort of, you know, slogans that we, I'm sure it's not just me that's heard those, but yeah. So that's what I meant by that. Interesting. I think interesting. It is. Exploration. Yeah. Now, it's, I don't, I think, and you might do it, you know, back to that 1957 book by Bernard Intuition. I'm not sure I ever read it. I think it was written at a time when he was talking about ego states and how you spot when a person moves from different ego states. That's a TA terminology, different parts of the self. Yeah. And whether you do, and where intuition comes in versus behavioural observation. See, that's really interesting. Yeah. So for example, often you hear people say, oh, well, you know, human beings, if they allow themselves to follow their intuition, they can make a decision with within five or six sections about where they like people. And they link it into the sort of animal kingdom about lions or whoever make these, these, these animals make decisions within a split second, whether they're going to, you know, be whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And I think in this book, he was talking about behavioural observation versus intuitive functioning. I don't know why. I was quite shocked when you said it was in 1957 or 1958 that there was a book written about intuition. Yeah. Yeah. He, he, before he, and this was before he really wrote his first book about transactional analysis proper in 1961, he was thinking and talking about intuition with regards to, I think, behavioural observation, because he'd just come out of the army. And in the army, one of the jobs he had was around, because he was a psychiatrist, about making judgments for insurance companies, who wanted to know whether they were fit for work after coming out of trauma places. Wow. And he made, he was making observation whether they were an adult or, or that level of fragility around trauma. And I think he was talking about, well, I'd have to read that book. So my sense was, do you make these decisions intuitively? Or is there some behavioural observational skills around the door? Yeah. Like you said, first impressions. Yeah. Back to read the book. But even if he didn't talk about it that way, the book he obviously did somewhere because I've read it. Well, that's it. Yeah. And that was the, the meaning. And it was a long time ago. Yeah. You were talking about these things way back. Yeah. Time. Yeah. Many people have written about intuition, but I haven't read that many. But I do remember, I've got it upstairs in my bookshelf and I wish I had time to go and get it and reread it. But I think it's interesting the discussion concerning intuition and behavioural observation. Yeah. Because for me, that's when my intuition comes into play is when maybe even the body language and the, you know, the spoken word just don't fit together. Yeah. They're in common. One thing in the body language is saying something else and it just feels wrong. Yeah. And often is. Yeah. Or, you know, for me, I can be quite empathic but if they're saying something that is sad or, you know, a trauma and I've not had a reaction to it, for me, there's something just not right about it. Yeah. And you might well confront that with clients. Yeah. Yeah. For example. Yeah. So I feel my intuition is in the room is when he just doesn't sit right with me. Yeah. Now is that behavioural observation? So it's an interesting one, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. And again, it's another tool to use in the therapy room along with everything else and to be aware of it, you know, that it's okay to be intuitive. I think I've got that book on eBay for about 50p. Wow.  And, you know, when we get that feeling or I will her stand up on the back of our neck, what's that about? Because it happens. Yeah. Now, of course, some, some line of thought might be, well, whatever it is that makes your hairs bristle is really something in the environment that is linking you to a past evocative process in your own history. Yeah. Now, that's one line of thinking about this. So it is so interesting. Yeah. Yeah.  And it's, it's like, it's a thing. It happens. But I don't know why it's like deja vu. That's something else that you can't explain when it just feels very familiar. Well, you might be, yes. See, that's interesting. What is that? Am I to gone off on a tangent now? No, no, no, no. I think, you know, let's take deja vu as opposed to implicit and explicit memories, implicit being held in the body in a somatic way and explicit being older memories. So are you just getting in touch with really implicit memories that have been hidden a long time ago? There are conversations we could discuss and maybe podcasts, but they're so interesting when we're talking about intuition. Yeah. That's what gets my old grey matter going, you know, with things like that. Yeah. So intuition is an important consideration in the therapy process. We've decided that. Yeah. We have decided that. We have. We have discussed it. I don't know, but we've come to that conclusion. Definitely have. And I'm definitely going to look up the book on Eric Byrne about the intuition because that I just am gobsmacked that it was written so long ago. Yes, 70 years, right? 80 years ago. Okay, Bob, thank you so much. And again, the next episode will be a surprise.  It is next time I'll, when we do these, we'll have a couple in front of us. So people who like structure and like to know what they're going to be listening to can have that pleasure of anticipation. Yes. But I like that, yes. Because some people like to know what's coming up and some people like surprises. Some people don't like the unknown. Definitely. Or all different, eh? We are. We are. And maybe we'll just mix it up sometimes we will and sometimes we won't. Yeah. We'll push the script a little bit. Okay, Bob. Script a bit. Yeah. I care. Lovely speaking. Bye-bye. See you next time. Bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. You've been listening to The Therapy Show, behind closed doors podcast. We hope you enjoyed the show. Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review. We'll be back next week with another episode.


One of the biggest impacts that I do like seeing is someone that came to know for general but then actually seeing them walk out. Definitely feels good to serve the community. Regardless of the situation I'm gonna have a positive outlook on it. A lot of these patients they can tell when someone genuinely cares. So I treat people like they're my own family. You just develop some kind of relationship or bond with them even if that short interaction is only like five minutes. It feels good to make a difference.


Hello my loves! It is time for another episode of Wrapped Up which we're doing every month now. We're going to do this until we probably have 10 episodes of this edition. Wrapped Up always comes back in December and I run it through the start of the next year a little bit. So if you don't know, I wrap up some of my books and in this edition Wrapped Up Risk, I wrapped up 25 of the books I was most excited to read and 25 of the books I was least excited to read. And I wrap one and we read it together in a vlog. I would say in terms of what we have left Wrapped Up, I think there's been four episodes so far. We've unwrapped in those three books I was most excited to read and one book that I was least excited to read. But I also have had to take out a couple that if you don't know on each of these there's like a tiny, let's see if I can find one. I turn it up to look for them usually. Okay so there's like a tiny number written on each of these and that corresponds to a book. I don't know what the numbers mean so I'm not looking at them, doesn't mean anything. But that corresponds to a book. So if I need to get one of these for another video, I can. So there has been a few that I've had to unwrap for other videos. So I think we are dealing with significantly more books that I was less excited to read than more. I don't mean to make you nervous that much. But let's just get into it. Spring has sprung. It is a beautiful day. It's lovely that my window's open. I feel like the world is wonderful. So I'm hoping for a book that's gonna make me happy. I want a book that's gonna make me happy. Do we go for a hardcover or do we go for like a paperback? I feel like we haven't been going for as many paperbacks. I've just picked this one up. Do we just go for this? No I think I'm feeling more hardback. Should we just... I'm gonna go for this. I'm not even double thinking it. Whatever this is we're reading this. Okay I've just grabbed one. I'm obviously feeling red today. Okay okay okay okay.   I can see the pattern. Okay. So this is one of the books I was least excited to read. Listen all the books that I have on my TBI I'm so excited to read. So when I say least excited it's just you know a book that I didn't want to read for whatever reason as much as other books. We've got Here of the Reaper by Makaya Lucia. This is the fairytale edition that I have. It is gorgeous. Let's see. Oh yeah come on now. Come on. I don't know much about this. I think that was why I put it on here. It was like a YA fantasy that I just wasn't sure how I would personally vibe with. It says three years ago Lord Cassio disappeared in the midst of war since then a devastating plague has swept the land. Having survived a rotting prison sale, Cass now 18 wants only to return to his home. His castle has become a refuge for the royal court and they have bought their enemies with them. An assassin targets the queen. Cass is drawn into the search for a killer. Okay whatever. You know I believe in a lot of things including the killer. You never know who you can meet online. The killer. He's the killer. He's the killer. The killer is everywhere. We'll find out what it's about together. I think this will still be an enjoy a read. A lot of people have been enjoying this. I think though this is another series so if I enjoy it I am starting another series which I have yet to. I've started two series already this year and I haven't finished any and if you don't know my series goal for the year is just to have a net negative so we'll see. Yeah I've had pretty good things about this so far. It's not too long so I think we can have a nice few days reading this together. We'll see what we think. My loves. I have amazing incredible fantastic news. I don't know why I thought it was a series. I guess I assume that oh my fantasy is a series but it's a standalone. I read this book and that's it. Incredible. Incredible. No notes. So I've just read the first 100 pages so about the first third I feel like I'm going very red all of a sudden. I'm feeling embarrassed. We meet Cassia, Lord Cassia who was kind of separated from his family and his land it seems imprisoned and it's kind of the story. The first third is just him going back home. Sorry you're a bit crooked. Him going back home and he meets on the way this girl. I won't say who she turns out to be because it's kind of I guess a spoiler but like she turns out to be someone different than who she says she is. I guess it's kind of going to be a romance between those two whatever but he does eventually make it back to his hometown and I'm really enjoying it. It's not going to be five star. I can tell you that right now but isn't it enjoyable quick fun read? Yeah it is. It is and I am immediately grateful for it to be for it for being a standalone. Like I am so deeply thankful in my bones.  I think I read it a lot when I first started reading but I haven't for a long time and so coming back to it just feels nostalgic. Um yeah I don't know it's reminding me of why I love reading stuff like this. It's a fairly simple book. I don't think the characters right now are feeling super fleshed out but they're not feeling bad. It's just like a fun read you know. It's not going to be five star. I can tell you that right in a second like there's no chance but I'm really enjoying the initial story. We've got kind of an assassin that we're trying to track down. I really like what Kaz has gone through and kind of what's the person that's made him into and the trauma that he has and the way that we've been examining that I think has been really great. So there's a lot that I really I really am enjoying about it and it feels like YA YA. It feels like YA written for teenagers. I think I would have loved this if this had been the kind of thing I was into when I was you know 15 or whatever 14.  So I'm really enjoying it. It's a fun read and it's a book that I would not have gotten around to forever if it wasn't wrapped up. This is like a real wrapped up moment. It's wrapped up fulfilling its purpose. I feel like a lot of the books we read at the start of this series were books that I would have gotten around to pretty quickly otherwise but this isn't. This is a book I may never have read. I would have just put up put off forever because I'm not reading as much YA fantasy and I just feel like the synopsis didn't grab me but I am having a great time reading it. I'll be facing the- I was going to say it's lighting timeophobic. I do be facing the window because here it's like lightening me from the side so I'm just going to face like this. I am now on page 200 of The Other Reaper. I just had some lovely reading sprints of my patrons. I'm still really enjoying this.  It's not pushing the envelope. It's not trying to be something unique. I am enjoying it though. I'm having a nice time reading it. If I had to write it now it would be like- sorry sorry let's turn this way again. I don't actually love myself this much. I just act like I do. If I had to write it now it would be like a 3.5 or a 4. That's kind of where I'm sitting. It's like a fun and enjoyable time. I just keep thinking this is like proper YA right? I feel like I've been having some problems lately where like I either read young-ish YA and I don't like it because I don't like the writing but I don't think that's because of the age on writing it just don't want the writing but whatever. Or you read YA these days and it's not written for young adults. It's written for the adults who still read YA and this just feels like oh it feels like what I- if I had been into this kind of fantasy when I was 13 I said this already to you but like it is perfect for the audience you know? I mean not much has happened. Like my guy is holding this thing. Nothing to do with that has happened yet and the thing he's got on the cover like I don't know what this is. Not much action or like drama has necessarily happened yet. It's a lot about court politics. It's a lot about I don't know relationships from his past and relationships from the now coming together you know. It really is a story about like like is it the prodigal son? I don't know the son returning home. He was presumed dead and how that's affected all his relationships three years later. Him coming back into the society. I just think it's really interesting. What do you want from me? But it's not a complex book. I don't have a ton of thoughts on it. It's just a nice easy enjoyable read. There is a row- well it's not even a romance yet. It's these two characters you can tell are interested in one another but like they are going to not be near each other very soon and so there's that kind of like mutual interest but even if it doesn't go any further I'm okay with that. Like I'm liking the relationship dynamics. I'm just hoping there's like one character that I feel like is being set up to be a villain and I don't want that.  I will be upset. I will be hurt. I will be betrayed. So we're not we're not wanting that. But other than that I'm really enjoying it. So I'm about to head to Tom's for the weekend so I will check in with you hopefully this evening if not in the morning with my final thoughts. But this is one of the books where the wrapped up is picked in this series that I've been happiest that it's picked because this was one of the ones I was least excited to read but I am just really glad that I finally got around to it. So I finished it. I finished here of the Reaper and I loved this final third. I thought this final third was so good.  I have to say that sounds a little bit twisted but kind of great too. And I just loved the director that took the story.  I really enjoyed how the story all came together and I just appreciate like a standalone YA fantasy. That's pretty rare right? But to have this story where like yes it's fairly you know it's not an imaginative fantasy system but I don't think you can have that really in a standalone but it you get there you understand what kind of society we're in you understand what's going on like is it really fantasy is there any magic in this? Oh yeah yeah yeah okay yeah I guess a fantastical element really is that he can kind of see ghosts because of some trauma that he's had. He can like see spirits. That's also a spoiler that happens like right at the start. But yeah I appreciate this book for being a standalone YA fantasy and not being a series because it doesn't need to be a series. It's a self-contained story you know yes we end the book with like some hopes for the future for the characters but it's nothing like unresolved. I don't know I really enjoyed it so I'm gonna give it four stars. I think I'm so happy that Wrapped Up picked this book because I know because I know myself that I would not have read this for like years and years if it wasn't for Wrapped Up and I enjoyed it you know. I will say I can understand it's a kind of book where yes I'm giving it four stars I can understand why someone would give it a two. I think depending on the frame of mind you go into this book in because it is fairly simple. It's nothing out of the ordinary. I view it as almost like a cozy not cozy fantasy in terms of like low stakes but like cozy fantasy in that it's a fairly familiar story beat familiar setting like there's nothing out of the ordinary. It feels like coming home to a book that you've read many times before and if that is something that would cause you to rate a book low I can understand. Like I've seen some of my friends rate it one star and I'm kind of like I can see I can see how you got there but I'm giving it four stars. I really enjoyed it. I thought the writing was great. I really liked a lot of our characters. I felt like the characters were a good mix of like characters that were closest to our protagonist being more fleshed out and then us having like a lot of other characters who are kind of just like you know there's not much depth to them but like I said because this is a setting like this royal court that I feel like is so down in fantasy that you kind of know it already. Like the characters can just be almost stereotypes of what those character roles are and don't need to be anything more. So yeah I'm very glad that Wrapped Up picked this and this was a pretty successful one especially for a book that I wasn't the most excited to read. So thank you guys so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this little Wrapped Up vlog. Let me know what you thought of this. If you have read it I would love to know other people's thoughts on it and I'll see you very soon in another video. Bye!


Our history is one that we need all Canada to know and it's not the history that we were taught in school. I had no idea about what to expect when I was coming but I'm glad I came because it was an eye-opening experience for me. I think it's cool to learn about history especially about like Aboriginal history. It actually moved me to tears the first time and at that point when I realized that it was bringing up those kind of emotions I went no this is something that I want to be involved in. It's a hot topic across the country right now and I think there's a big readiness and willingness among many people both Indigenous and non-Indigenous to have that conversation. The Blanketer exercise is about our history but I really think that we all have a role to play going forward in Canada's story. There's a reason why every people's of the four corners of the globe are here now and it's because we need each other. Relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people sharing this land right now are at a critical juncture and there have been many junctures like this I think throughout history where there's a moment that can be seized and it can become a constructive moment or it can become a moment that further divides us and separates us and creates more suffering. But for us to take advantage of those moments we have to be talking to each other and that's what the Blanketer exercise does. The reality is like when we made first contact with the people we were all in relations. We were all in the helping relations and along the way it changed. The exercise will help them understand how First Nations Inuit and later Métis peoples lost access to their land and what impact this has had on the people and their communities. How Indigenous peoples went from using and occupying all of the land we now call Canada to a situation where reserves or lands reserved for Indians amount to only one half of one percent of Canada's land mass. It will also help them to understand how Indigenous peoples have always resisted assimilation or being absorbed into the mainstream society and how they continue to do so. There's a need to redress some of the wrongs that have been done. I think the most important part of it is teaching new things to other people around us. It's really important that we share these things. You never know where the connections can lead and how it can help other people. I'd recommend certainly that if people get an opportunity to participate in one of these to take it but also to try and make yourself more knowledgeable.

contents I think there's a half year ground I excluded those that are less likely to be used for consumption to improve showers custodial sinks that are in closets I think there are some custodial sinks for example Mary Hogan elementary school has a floor sink in their kitchen that's right next to the gym and it is the most convenient place to fill up a large igloo that would be used by a sports team so even custodial sinks I think even that we have to say but where are they do students and staff have reasonable access to them the answer is no fine for not testing or not remediating if you do find something but I think that should be cut as broad as possible I also so moving on to four this would be one of two recommendations for changes to the existing to the version of the bill that said it passed and that's to lower the action level from three to one and I'm speaking strictly from a health based perspective the only safety based guidelines for lead are the MCLG the maximum contentment level goal put forth by the EPA and again that's not an enforceable limit but that's the goal because we know scientifically that there is no safe level of lead exposure we also know that lead exposure accumulates over time you can remove it from the body slowly but it does accumulate with exposure and the damage may be irreversible so because of that that's why the goal is what it is so therefore that's my goal the other safety level that has been reported and has been put out by the American Academy of Pediatrics which recommends no higher than one part per billion in schools specifically and in the outlets that children would drink from the other guidelines that are out there including the 15 part per billion EPA action level that was put forth in 1991 so we have 28 years of things when things have changed so at that time that was considered a lot to be recently achieved for municipal water supplies and was subjected to very cost-benefit analysis since then we know more about low levels of lead and the harm they can do since then we've also as Brian referred to we've lowered what can be allowed in the plumbing materials so lead free meant one thing in 1986 it meant something closer to what the COVID might mean Vermont passed state law and made that what lead free meant they lowered that federal guidelines came in took effect in 2014 lowering that and making lead free a little bit closer to free of lead so we're in a new place where we have better materials when the 15 PPP was put into place they were working with existing materials that would now be illegal to sell or illegal to install in school so my conclusion just based on that is that that is the appropriate health-based goal there's other considerations that your committee has to take into account of course next point in many cases and this is based on the Addison Central data that I collected the outlets that show lead or a result of long stagnation times so the lead accumulates in the water overnight or if a fixture isn't used very often it may be accumulating for a week or a month if that fixture isn't being used because of this and the fact that I personally was rather surprised at how many outlets are in schools every classroom has a sink every multiple sinks and some of these high-led outlets have conveniently located low-led outlets right next to them so when we're thinking about costs I want to put out there the idea that there is a good possibility for some of that cost and for some of that remediation to be removing outlets from use of course you're going to need them in some classrooms so that would be something that the staff at the school would have to be involved in but a conclusion that schools often have a low-cost remedy outlet removal available to them when trying to meet this health-based goal from my data in ACSD roughly half of all of the outlets that were reasonably used for consumption which includes many outlets that were installed before the lower-led requirements were put in place and indeed some entire schools currently meet the one-PPB health-based level about half of the outlets currently meet it so I take from that that a one-PPB action level is technically feasible it can be done in half the outlets even some of which have that older higher-led infrastructure so my data show and this is where Brian said we have really limited data to go on but some data show and I'm taking the data from the scientific literature as well as from the Department of Health pilot study show that when you do replace fixtures you do reduce the lead levels although there's limited data points in every case when the fixture was replaced with an updated fixture the water came down to at or below three parts per building so and some three or lower so some got down to one would have met a one-PPB etc so my conclusion is that schools have a low-cost remedy fixture replacement that will suffice to meet the one-PPB level much of the time but much of the time and in cases where fixture replacement is insufficient to meet that one-PPB action level I would ask schools to start by revisiting whether the outlet is truly needed whether it can be removed or whether some of the filter remedies would be appropriate a point of use treatment technology ACSD has installed some of these filters they put in bottle-filling stations in many of the schools they obtained a grant I think from solid waste district to do some of those replacements I can detect down to 0.1 parts per billion lead I cannot detect lead that comes out of those bottle-filling stations that have filters included in them so they are an effective technology I would only caution they are effective and they will easily meet a one-PPB level I would caution though that filters need maintenance they need to be replaced if the outlet is not used frequently you run the risk of having bacteria built up and other concerns so you may be trading one water quality concern for others and so if schools are going to be using a filter to achieve a safety level to put in place so that is my rationale for recommending one-PPB health-based goal my final recommendation to the committee a recommendation for grandfathering in schools that have already completed testing for the initial round of testing to grandfathering schools that have already currently tested using the methodology that S40 puts for it because it is more protective it is better sampling methodology than what might be done elsewhere and I will just give a very quick example about sampling methodology the New York City schools tested all of their their schools and they were pleased with the results and they reported that only a third of their schools had elevated levels of lead which they defined as outlets greater than 15 the EPA action level when the New York Times pushed them on their methodology they found out they were not using 3T's methodology they were in fact flushing the pipes for two hours the night before they sampled that serves to remove all that water to scour any particulate and to kind of bring fresh water to the school and kind of reduce those stagnation times when they repeated the testing it went from 30% of schools up to 85% of schools that had elevated levels one school, the drinking water in water fountains the highest level was 35 before but faulty method and it was 3500 with appropriate levels they had to redo tens of millions of dollars worth of testing because they had done it wrong so I do want to emphasize I support grandfathering in a lot of schools have been very proactive about doing this and doing this properly and if they can show that they've done it properly I see no reason why that existing sampling shouldn't be carried forward and be considered compliant so I think if I add it up correctly Dr. Levine has said at least 47 schools have done so either through the VDH pilot my own pilot and ECSD and other schools I've given some just specific recommended changes to language that comports with what I've just said I don't think there's anything new there though so stop there questions I just have one would it make sense to just until we figure this out to like inform schools maybe not sure but just as a practice to flush the water ahead of time I mean just to kind of prevent that build up but I know that might not be a great idea but I mean in my data when we do the flush samples it's had good results I have I have some number I can find them when we flushed the number of outlets that were above one PVB there's 51% that failed the one PVB on the first draw after flushing only 7% so most samples would be aided by flushing most outlets the literature suggests that there's some concern with flushing because what flushing can do is to mobilize particles that are kind of they're stuck on the inside of the pipe and as you flush you can actually release particles and if someone's drinking them those particles they can dissolve and the leg would dissolve out of them and the stomach acid would make that so it is used it's effective much of the time it's hard to guarantee that it's being effective it would require a testing to know how it's operating can we have any animal samples on you know consumption of these water at certain levels I don't know if those studies, that's not my idea everywhere I've studied animal studies that might be a little bit harder to test some of the cognitive functioning of the mouse to try to correlate what they're ingesting in their what to paint gas I have a feeling there's a challenge I think that's facing our committee we are a group of citizen legislators and we're supposed to come up with a number could be 15 there's a reason to choose that could be 3, that's what the Senate said and then there's 1 and then there's 0 and some of us like to have a little bit more sense of a database research-based reasons for selecting a number and I'm personally just feeling uncomfortable with that it's been something that this really nice group of people is going to come up with based on something that I can't grab what it is I'm basing it on for my, I mean the scientific evidence is that no level of light is safe so as low as possible is going to be most health protective I mean you can't argue with that but then there's the other side which is there's other concerns there's financial concerns for example and what I think is fair to say is that the lower you can possibly go the better it's going to be anything is going to be better than what is happening now because there are there are high levels in some outlives in some schools the risk to children is directly related to the concentration and to the volume of water that they're ingesting going to the health equity standpoint it's also true known that children absorb more a larger fraction of lead that they ingest and they do so more so when there's already nutritional deficit essentially their body is trying to grab onto whatever it can get so if the child is low in calcium or low in iron they're grabbing onto more and they're absorbing more of that lead so this is adding insult to injury for children who are already at risk for others in terms of looking at that, in terms of risk there's no way to attach you know at three the risk is best at one the risk is best from the discussion today 15 sounds pretty high from the discussion that we're hearing sounds pretty high 15 sounds high to me because I know we can get lower easily one is a health based goal and I also three would be better way better than 15 you know I'm in the same boat with you but into the discussion I think you don't have to have a class related to go into the one I mean we do have some I mean I can if folks are injured I can give some percentages of ECSD if it is representative of something larger which it does span the age range of schools I think it is typical of Vermont it spans size range from very small elementary schools to a larger high school 5% of first draw samples failed to 15 25 would fail at 3 and 51 fail at 1 25 at 3 and at 1 51% failed so it it gives you some idea of cost almost all of those pass on the flush I don't anticipate a lot of retrofitting of pipes I anticipate a lot of changing of fixtures do you see pass at 3 or pass at 1 when you say on flush most of those pass correct at 15 they all pass in ECSD at 3 2% failed and at 1 93% passed this probably isn't for you but for when Brittany was here to get from 3 to 1 how much more expensive would that be that's the great question it's almost doubling the number of outlets that are now in play so going from 25% of the consumption based outlets up to 51% in your methodology I'd like to like you did it during school break no it was just an 8 hour wait all of our sampling was done on a Saturday morning after a typical Friday day of school which is consistent for your teens for the teens I'll try to word this coherently but I don't know if I'll succeed so if if a child is diagnosed with lead exposure or lead poisoning and it can be proven that that source of lead traced to the water in the school is that a can precise can you trace that off and back like yes this definitely came from the school or is it just impossible to ever prove where it came from and to further continue my question then what becomes the liability of the school district it's kind of lower than bottled water but it wasn't quite one like this is do you get where I'm going with this? I understand your question I'm going to shunt to Dr. Maureen it's a real challenge keep in mind the majority of children are younger than school age children who are getting diagnosed and it's low related to their home environment but there is nothing that would trace lead to a pain versus a water source which we're measuring in the long distance would it be fair to say that if a young child was at a child care center that tested at the water and had lead poisoning that the child care center would not be the first to go to find the source and what if they were three the random three they would still be very random since I'm talking go ahead we need to not make the expression this is perfect we're still doing something revolutionary in the launch by even addressing this issue compared to a few from driving states we do have a first we'll call it guidelines setting organizations that actually are weighing in in a way that the American Academy of Pediatrics weighed in the EPA knows they're overdue with re-examining and publishing this but still no traction there yet but we know they have a minority but they're certainly not really changing the level so you don't have a lot you and we don't have a lot to look towards and sort of saying this is really what we should be striving to achieve because there's consensus in the field on expert panels etc that this should be the guideline so I am agreeing that to be ultimately and totally health protective there shouldn't be any there should be as little as it's detectable but at the same time we have to be pragmatic with feasibility, with existing rules that you've heard about that already talk about what level is going into the school never mind what's coming out of the fossil so there's a lot of factors and we appreciate that we know we will be benefiting by addressing the issue at all because there's still plenty that are about 15 that magic number that probably isn't relevant anymore in modern times now that we know so much more about that but at the same time we know we're going to be doing a lot of benefit as we go lower and lower lower but certainly just addressing the issue at all child care facility licensed child care facilities now in environments as well as as centers are required to do some water testing correct? they're required for lead they're required currently not adhering to the protocols that we've described but they are required to test for lead and they're required to do that how often? just once and you are done? not sure I know what you answered that question I was going to recommend that you talk with PCF I know there is some ongoing monitoring that is required once as far as I understand it for the record Alayna Mahali CLF as far as I understand the regulation it requires testing once every six years which is when the licensing happens unless you get a positive test in which case you are required to retest so if you get a clean sample which their action level is 15 parts per billion then you would get to go for six years without another sample there is also no notification requirement in the child care no notification to parents and guardians and they're held with 15 it would not follow the protocol it is a separate protocol the big thing is that it's a one liter sample rather than a 250ml sample because fixtures are primarily the problem primarily the source of lead it's expected that that first pulse of water that exits is the high lead pulse and that by continuing with a larger sample size you are effectively diluting it so it's both 15 high state and it's with a diluted sample that's inherently lower so it's just curious it sounds like you're more concerned with the lead in the paint child care centers required to test oh okay we're gonna thank you I do want to also say that I don't remember exactly the final wording from the Senate bill how this looked certainly we all advocated for that this would not be a one time testing and this would recur again in the future and the original number that was chosen was a five year number that does allow that as science evolves if you will and as guidelines evolve adjustments can be made there could also be something within the five year period of science evolves without even re-testing it to allow discretion if you will change like in whatever the Senate I don't say this to give you the opportunity to punt you know on this and see what happens in the future but at the same time it's an evolving science and it's an evolving set of guideline settings so all the states that have done what they've done have either just chosen to go with the EPA or chosen to do something as low as they could go but they weren't doing it based on a specific mandate from the United Nations that said this is the way it should be that's their question representative can homeowners test or would they get a test kit to test their own water it would just the Department of Health find it they're probably laughing at me they're probably laughing at me they're probably right he's a silly person the Department of Health lab is someone has to test someone has to do the St. John's very I don't know there's a number of certified labs it all goes to the state lab and as I remember we did pass a bill that at a time of a sale of a home you had to present somebody with a list of testing from the we were trying to put in that you had to test for these at the sale but we ended up saying something that you have to present the recommended water tests to be done before before sale well water well water yeah for the record Brian Redman I would just add that there are new testing requirements for newly drilled wells that do include lead let's go in effect July 1 of this year that's a range of constituents but it does include lead but that's only for new wells that are being drilled and is it actually a problem or is it really more to fix this does the sample will be coming from inside the home other questions so who else do we need to hear from who do we need to hear from I asked David to come back I'm serious but he's still busy so well we need we need to hear from AOA that's for sure we need to hear from Stephanie regarding the money um yeah otherwise now thank you I'm just I'm still trying to wrap my head around not so much the science of whether or not we should or shouldn't test and mitigate but the method by which we fund these types of improvements seems to me that as the education committee our primary responsibility is to understand how we do these things not what we do that's the expertise of other committees in the building and other areas of policy such as the health department and others we don't understand that so for me I just want to understand what our responsibilities are within the education fund within capacity for state age for state aid for construction and things like that because that to me is a broader policy question that this committee oversees recognizing that we have a lot of work on with this I would be inclined to think that funding for this is not coming from the education fund I would be thinking it's coming from something else we are friends next door well depending on how much state funding there is because what the state does fund does come right out of the education fund well and it does I mean there is a policy question if we set policy about parts per billion that does in fact incur more expenses than what we appropriate either a budget adjustment vehicle capital bill or a budget bill then there is a period where we have to true up and so for me it is more of a question of what is the sustainable resource allocation for this type of work if we believe that the health of our kids is valuable and that's a bigger question about education policy and I've just been interested to hear from education stakeholders about that so I do know that the chair of human services requested to at some point have possession of this bill because they are involved with the licensing of child care facilities there is a question you are almost raising as to whether this should go up to help but I'm kind of thinking we might be able to handle that without them hmm yeah yeah represent Coupoli if yours could be done is there anybody else if you I don't know if Beeper wants to speak on this at some point not right now but I'm scheduled with Shannon we've already got CLF that's ready to testify so I've got we've got the B's we've got our led council we have Stephanie and Madam Chair who's Stephanie she's the chair of fiscal yeah and there's because the request from that I think we got fairly clearly from the senator that they have this right to the budget adjustment bill that is on the floor tomorrow we have as you may have heard today from the budget adjustment act meanwhile we have the budget coming right behind it it does feel that we still regardless still have some pressure to get this moved and just checking are people interested in continuing to move forward with this bill is there anybody that thinks that we should not actually know about my state just seeing that okay so in terms of tomorrow tomorrow we have our 9 o'clock the regional educational television network would like to come see or ask we're going to do something on budget I think at 9.15 was the budget at 9.15 well if time allows we'll talk again that's right here no 9.15 9.15 and then and then we're going and tomorrow we're doing our oversight of the agency of education that's going to be happening in the well of the house that's a joint meeting with gov ops um and then after floor we pick this bill up again we have a brief thing on from disability awareness day and then we pick up this bill again we have uh let's council will actually be going through the bill with us and then we also have the I'm going to try to see if we can build more into that at this point I don't know are you scared to look yet? you're scared to look ready I guess much done as we can on this bill this week okay thank you


Kane's coming to support, Alassi goes alone. Clip towards the far post, Walcott's there! And Everton are in front. They have made the breakthrough. 14 minutes into this second half, it may well go down as an own goal off Geetam-Bong. But Theo Walcott takes the credit for getting in there. You cannot deny that Everton deserved that lead. An own goal it may be. It's Everton won, Brighton-Mill. It's for Tossen, and back with Baines. Still Baines, picks out Tossen again. Brilliant from Everton! Absolutely wonderful! This was great football between Baines and Cenk Tossen. Baines picking him out finally. And Tossen with the emphatic finish off the underside of the crossbar. And it's a finish that has surely given Everton the points here. Superbly done. Enough for another home victory for the Blues.


I think we have approximately nine minutes before Shalva comes home with the kids, so Let's dive right in first mistake that people make chalky protein shakes You don't have to have chalky protein shakes easy way to fix that add some oats Protein powder is pretty disgusting unless you're my four-year-old who likes to put a scoop in and perfect All right now we'll put One more look pretty much lick the protein powder off and have it all over his face It's more hilarious than he realizes add oats number two a stalled blender Really if you're using any any blunder it doesn't need to be a Vitamix Nutribullet a ninja Protein powders have a way of well they make blunders stall everything kind of sticks together and you'll get a blade That's just spin spin spin spinning. How do you fix that? First of all when you're Freestyling when you're building your protein shake just from whatever's in the fridge and you're not following a recipe Use what we like to call the wiggle test. Basically you should have enough Liquid where the frozen stuff like your ice here frozen bananas frozen strawberries blueberries they wiggle they kind of move a little But there shouldn't be too much wiggle room So if it doesn't wiggle at all It means you don't have enough liquid if it wiggles too much if it's splashing all over the place If the frozen stuff is able to move more than a centimeter or so you need to add more frozen stuff The wiggle test silly way of saying you have to mind the ratio of 50-50 ratio of liquid to frozen stuff And that's gonna keep everything even if you like super duper thick protein shakes 50-50 ratio is what you're going for pretty much any protein shake that you make you can find success using a Cup of liquid and a cup of frozen so a cup of ice a couple frozen bananas if it's too liquidy Stop right away. Adding ice or adding frozen strawberries later after you've blended for 30 seconds or 60 seconds It doesn't turn out well if you notice right away that it's gonna be too thin if it's Sloshing around way too much if it is pretty much done blending after five seconds stop add frozen stuff That you want to use a slow ramp So you're gonna ramp up from the lowest speed your blender can go to the highest speed it can go And you want it to go slow so that the blade it keeps holding on to the ingredients You want it to kind of not spin so fast that it just starts spinning against nothing and everything just stays there You want it to hold on to what you're Blending so there's some feel to it. It's a bit of an art Go slow and feel and if you feel it to kind of start Losing its feel of the ingredients go back slow down a little bit And you may have to stop and give it a shake and start over all the way at variable speed one The lowest speed it can go and slowly ramp up keep the blade grabbing the ingredients liquids first Add your milk of choice first your water whatever you're adding to your protein shake pour in first It's gonna help you use the wiggle test know the ratio But also the liquid at the bottom is gonna help keep the blade connected attached Grabbing to all the protein shake ingredients So you don't have those air bubbles I'm just realizing now that we've done a ton of videos on green juice And we've done videos on soups and ice creams and all sorts of fun stuff that you can make in your vitamins really any blender and In our newsletter we've talked about making protein shakes all the time we make them for dinner sometimes with with pretzels and queso or For a snack with movie and with a movie and popcorn We don't really have any videos on protein shakes So it's good to be doing this to finally be talking about protein shakes something that I guess I kind of took for granted that It's not really all that hard But the more I thought about it and it's fairly complicated and there's a lot to know and a lot of mistakes to avoid Okay, back to the mistakes if your protein shake is ugly. It may be because you mixed Complementary colors, so blue and yellow makes green if you mix green with another Complementary color if you mix green with purple too much of that is gonna make a brown smoothie Yes, you can add some greens to your protein shake But you can't add too much add a little bit of spinach to your strawberry banana protein shake And it'll still be pretty much red you can sneak a little spinach or even a little kale in a Mixed berry sort of a purple protein shake, but not too much. Otherwise, it'll be brown I think we're on mistake number four if your protein shakes taste gross The simple solution is just to add fewer ingredients less is more If your protein shake tastes watery Add some frozen ingredients, especially frozen bananas. That's gonna make your protein shake creamy Frozen mango is really good, too But be a little careful because citrus really only works with a few types of protein shakes mango with peanut butter Not so great. Also to add creaminess if you can't have frozen banana frozen squash or Same thing with avocado frozen avocado. We like to eat our avocados fresh They're delicious and they're expensive so to freeze them and you get it mistake number six protein shakes shouldn't give you Digestive issues, but sometimes they do it's usually because the protein powders are pretty Process so a couple things you can do here. You can make protein shakes without protein powder You can also take a break making a protein shake without protein powder doesn't need to be the way you do it forever It can just be kind of an experiment. You can also switch sources of protein I got started on this whole journey with egg white protein bought egg whites put them in my protein shakes They were pasteurized so safe to eat and you can't really taste them. Maybe add some seeds Cheesy flaxseed those are gonna give you the some of that dietary fiber It's gonna help with any digestive issues that you have with making protein shakes number eight powders are not necessary We talked about this a second ago, but there's protein in oats and greens and Seeds and fruit if you do decide to make a protein shake without protein powder You should make it sweet. They're better sweet fruit is sweet But protein shakes are better with very sweet. Don't add sugar to your protein shakes. You probably know this But there's things that you can use to make it sweet if your protein powder is not sweet or if you're not using protein powder You can use dates a gavel is fine Stavia, but one that's really cool and surprisingly make stuff sweet It's like a faux sweetener is cinnamon you can add cinnamon to pretty much any protein shake you make It's gonna make it taste better and make it taste sweeter and the last mistake with making protein shakes Especially with protein powder vanilla protein powder is really the only flavor that you should ever have It is the most flexible and you can make it chocolate flavor with some cocoa powder Use vanilla now. This is a good time to tell you if you're liking this video and you like what we're doing here Like in the vibe you can subscribe to our channel to get more videos about Protein shakes and smoothies and lifestyle and recipes and demos and tomb Or not sometimes people don't have a go-to protein shake that they make every single time They're winging it every time they're throwing stuff in Musco smoothies and musco shakes when you just throw stuff in is great It's great for getting rid of stuff But you you should have a go-to protein shake that you make every single time But if you want to explore and you want to venture out stick with one of these tried and true formulas There are seven of them number one Vanilla how boring to make a vanilla protein shake. Yes, however, vanilla protein shakes become Cake better shakes by adding a lot of vanilla and more oats and just the name that makes it taste like cake It becomes an apple pie protein shake when you add apples and cinnamon vanilla protein shake becomes Pumpkin pie by adding some pumpkin. It becomes peach pie by adding peach. It's pretty much pie vanilla protein shake equals pie number two peanut butter vanilla It's like a like a Girl Scout cookie So this is your vanilla protein shake but adding peanut butter and probably some cinnamon the simplicity Just the peanut butter and vanilla three add some cocoa powder to your vanilla Peanut butter protein shake to make a chocolate peanut butter banana protein shake the best That's that's pretty much our go-to. Now. Let's say you don't like banana. You can't eat banana We have two for you peanut butter and jelly this one impresses everyone. They love it so much for a ton of people This is their go-to protein shake. It's your standard protein shake no banana and mixed berries So something red and something blue. It's peanut butter jelly. It's the best now's a good time to say instead of Trying to list all of the ingredients for all of these protein shake recipes in this video I'm gonna put links to all of them. It'll be in the description Go there to find recipes for all these just wing it If you can kind of get the essence of it You should be able to freestyle these the fifth sort of protein shake another one that's no banana is a cherry Chocolate. This is the standard formula. You have your liquids to solids and then cocoa powder and frozen cherries It's gonna be kind of brownish black with a hint of red number six and number seven We're gonna go fast blueberry protein shake. This is pretty much blueberry with banana and number seven Strawberry banana. This is a really popular one. You can't go wrong with strawberry banana And of course like I said frozen banana is gonna bring a creaminess to your smoothies I remember one all I made in in my boner was protein shake I was like, why would I make anything else? but green juice really opened up my world into like Being able to feel energized and feel good without drinking coffee and if you're interested in protein shakes And you're like, oh all I make is protein shakes Consider this video about green juice. You can make green juice whole food green juice full of fiber and nutrients It's gonna make you feel amazing this video right here and Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you guys in the next one. Bye guys

Hey everybody, Nick Rofi here with DAB Patriot Boot Camp. We're a day two in Atlantic City at our national convention also participating in our Accelerator program here at DAB Patriot Boot Camp. I'm here with Dewey Vieira from Sorensen who's going to give us a little bit of update on why our relationships would really make a lot of sense for veterans and the products and services that they offer. Dewey? Nick, thanks for the intro. All I can say is wow. So this is day two of the Accelerator Boot Camp program and we're so happy to sponsor. This is our first sponsorship of this program and I've just blown away by what I've seen the last couple of days. You know, it's really fantastic about the partnership that we have is the services that we offer. We offer to not just the individual veteran or even civilian who may be hard of hearing or or deaf. These are services that are also available to independent businesses to enterprise. You know, I guess I guess you could call them enterprise businesses as well. So in terms of spectrum and opportunity to be able to work with disabled American veterans and the businesses and the individuals that you guys support. It's just been a phenomenal opportunity and and the the shared experiences that we all have here has just been phenomenal. I cannot cannot speak highly enough of what I've seen the last couple of days and I'm you know, I told you earlier like I'm Already excited to come back next year and I'm not even done here yet. So this has been this has been great. Wow. Thanks, dude We appreciate that that what that is a tremendous compliment. We're happy to have them here. They've been a great partner so far Since you've been sitting in the Accelerator, uh-huh What are some things that you can take away from what you've learned? Maybe maybe you've learned something or something. So that uh-huh moment. Is there anything that comes to mind? Well, so first let me say, um Larry from is a fantastic facilitator. So his breadth of experience And this you know regardless of whether, you know, he's pulling it from his time in the regiment through his his time running, you know Hotels all over the country He brings that experience and that feedback and a genuine passion for wanting to help fellow veterans Through their entrepreneurial, you know, I guess journey What's been fantastic about that as well is you know, it's a very intimate setting So you have the opportunity for business leaders who are just starting Who are you know ramping up or really trying to make sure that they get firmly established in the running their businesses in an optimal manner to cross talk and really communicate and really kind of share ideas for success and I'll tell you some of the um, some of the business concepts and and Businesses that are being discussed in there and shared Just blow my mind. I mean they really are they're fantastic businesses. Um, and I know they're going to be, you know Completely successful, especially after attending the event like this. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I mean Larry has been Just dynamite. I mean getting people amped up in the morning. I thought so too And it's amazing that just the transformation that a lot of our entrepreneurs have seen Just whether that's just headspace that that that's clarity. That's uh, they're doing some planning exercises as we speak So leads me to my next question. What entrepreneurs stands out to you as are there any ones? One over the other that just stands out to you first. So today, um, uh, heard a little bit about a a company called nut next and, uh Never in a million years would I have ever even thought of the concept of being able to really provide, uh, communication facilitation for contractors with their customers and the entire, I mean concept itself and its execution He's nailing it, right? I mean, it's just a fantastic idea. He's executing it properly Nothing but upward room for growth, you know in the future with this business So that really stood out first and foremost in my mind, but there's so many Um, just about everybody in there has something. Um that just blew my mind and you know, you know I'm a former tanker. So I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, right? And uh, so Maybe it takes a lot to impress me. I don't know But I could never come up with any of the business concepts that I've I've heard in there the last couple days It's been great. Yeah, and he mentions nut mess. There's 14 other entrepreneurs in there All of which are different industries different phases of a business different challenges Different epiphanies as we as we speak if they're they're having So it really is a diverse community. You talked about your military background I was going to ask that question. Yep. You want to tell us a little bit more about your career and Sure, what did what that meant? I uh, so I spent uh, just shy of eight years as an armor officer. So, uh, my last active duty station was sports through third ID. Um, and I enjoyed that time. Um, you know, the leadership opportunity Is what everybody who joins the army and wants to join a combat arms unit would expect You want to be out in the field? You want to lead soldiers and you want to mentor soldiers? Um, and uh, I like to think that that experience, you know post-military just kind of led me to the point where I am right now Yeah, I'm director of veterans outreach for sorts of communications It's a new role for me It came from the defense industry prior to that and in every single instance throughout my career I have the opportunity to correlate What I learned Um in the army throughout my career We talked about this earlier where I still apply the principles of five paragraph up order to every segment of my planning Throughout every single endeavor in my civilian career. So, uh, it's just little things like that just stayed with you know Which is kind of me so yeah Well, I have a deep appreciation for Dewey as you know, we're sometimes we're a little outnumbered in this space You'd think that there'd be more army guys guys guys and gals running around But we're we've felt outnumbered the last couple of days. So, you know, it's great to have a counterpart here for the army I don't have any other questions for today, but I think this has been a great day, too We'll follow up here towards the end Stay tuned with us and we look forward to see you here
