Content: If a lot of elbow grease and a couple of spray bottles of diluted vinegar doesn’t shift the smoke discoloration to your walls, you may need to get a little tougher with it and use trisodium phosphate – a degreaser and cleaning agent that works well on smoke-stained walls. If you do use trisodium phosphate, be sure to take precautions – wear gloves, goggles and protective clothing. Mix one tablespoon of trisodium phosphate in one gallon of warm water, apply to the wall, leave for a few minutes, and wipe off using a clean sponge dipped in clean, warm water. Using vinegar to get rid of smoke smell
White vinegar also acts as a ‘smoke deodorizer’. Not because it has a strong smell itself, but because it soaks up and traps smoke particles from the air. Here is how to use white vinegar to rid yourself of that acrid smoke odor: Wipe your walls and other surfaces (including furniture, floors and ceilings) with the diluted vinegar solution. Dip a clean cloth in the vinegar solution, and wring it out until almost dry. Stand in the middle of the room, and whirl the cloth around your head. You may feel a little silly doing this, but it is a great way to attract smoke particles to the cloth. | https://www.porterscleaning.com/blog/using-vinegar-on-smoke-damaged-walls/ |

Grow Your Own Corn
Content: Unfortunately, in many areas, genetically modified, chemical-dependent corn monocultures have given this plant a dicey reputation. But older corn varieties, grown organically on small farms and cooked using traditional methods, are a beautiful expression of corn’s real and wonderful legacy in the human diet. Many small farms are able to integrate some type of field corn into their planting rotations. This corn must be grown to maturity, dried, husked, and shucked before the corn is ready to enter the kitchen as a sack of dry corn kernels. Once the corn is in this form, it requires further processing. At this point your two options are to grind it into flour, or nixtamalize it into a dough often referred to by its Spanish name, masa. Nixtamalization is a process of cooking the corn in an alkaline substance, usually hardwood ash or lime. This removes the pericarp (seed husk) of the kernel, which is unpalatable. Mature corn pericarps also inhibit the absorption of niacin in the human body. When people eat large quantities of mature corn without nixtamalization, they can suffer from serious nutrient deficiencies. | https://www.porvenirdesign.com/blog/2018/11/19/corn-nixtamalization-recipes-and-recommendations-for-efficiency |

Consideration And Showing Respect For Others,
Consideration Is The Glue That Holds Society Together
Content: You must realize that the quality of your relationships with other people will ultimately determine your success in life. How well you get along with other human beings, your quality of interaction will determine your degree of happiness, success, the achievements you make or really anything else in life. People need people for almost everything in life and it’s the person who shows the most consideration for others that is going to realize more successes in his or her life. When you are considerate of others it shows, if you are kind and cheerful, thoughtful and forgiving they will react to you with a similar type behavior. Your outer world is just a mirror of your inner world, so when you display kindness and gentleness towards other people you cannot help but feel good about yourself on the inside. You truly are improving your own personal development. I learned a long time ago that if I wanted to make myself feel good all I had to do was make someone else feel good about themselves. It is a wonderful thing, something we all have total control over. When you are having a bad day and you just do not feel good inside you can change your thoughts to that of a positive nature just by being extra considerate to someone else. Consideration And Showing Respect For Others,
There is no need to dwell in misery, when you have the power to make someone else feel good, it will almost always leave you feeling good about yourself inside. | https://www.positive-thinking-for-you.com/consideration.html |

Content: This is an absolutely terrific step toward your goal for personal growth and overall personal development. The way our mind works is really a true gift from God. You have the ability to always learn new skills and these skills can become wonderful characteristics that you always have the ability to turn to when you truly need them the most. Showing consideration to others helps build relationships based on true character. Just think how you feel when someone shows you such kindness. How do you feel? It makes you feel good inside, it gives you that feeling that you really do matter and you look at that person with kindness as well. It is such a simple little act that can help build relationships when you least expect it. Every relationship you have whether it is personal or professional requires the act of sincere consideration if it is to have a chance of becoming any type of lasting relationship. It all starts there and it could all end there to if you chose to show no consideration to the other person involved. | https://www.positive-thinking-for-you.com/consideration.html |

Try this sometime when you’re not feeling that great inside, go to the first person you see and make a deliberate attempt to show that person some extra kindness. It could be something as simple as offering them a drink or giving them an unexpected compliment on the way they look. Just watch the smile come over their face and take note of how you feel inside at that moment. I will guarantee that you feel better than you did before showing that little bit of consideration for someone else. | https://www.positive-thinking-for-you.com/consideration.html |

The Ultimate List of Hereditary Diseases
by Dr. Karen Reed Ph. D. Friday, March 16, 2018
You may hear that a condition or disease you have is hereditary. This means that it has been passed onto you by another family member. It’s been inherited by a parent, which may have been inherited from one of their parents and so on. Hereditary diseases aren’t always going to be genetic. The two terms are often used interchangeably, but there are slightly different definitions for them. A genetic disease is a gene mutation, which can certainly be inherited. However, a family member isn’t necessarily going to inherit that genetic mutation. It could be dormant and skip generations. The inherited diseases don’t necessarily have anything to do with the genetics. | https://www.positivehealthwellness.com/pain-relief/the-ultimate-list-of-hereditary-diseases/ |

RELATED ARTICLE: What Does Your Nail Shape Say About You? Everyone’s hands are different. From fingerprints to the lines present on the palms, everyone’s hands tell interesting stories. Perhaps you’ve heard of lifelines and love lines on your palms.

Negative Impacts of Culture
Content: Now this can have loads of negative effects of the person in question. Frustration, loneliness, homesickness and linguistic chauvinism may be the results of cultural shock. One may even resort to criticizing and defaming the culture of the host region and be succumbed to sadness, depression, withdrawal and bad sleep cycles. Eventually, all this may lead to physical damages like body aches and inability to function normally. Sometimes, a region may take up a negative culture, or may take up some negative activities in the name of “culture” that may include exclusion of several castes (like the old Britain), defensiveness and violence (you can see a hint of it in the incident where an American shot down an immigrant, yelling at the top of his voice GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY), unnecessary criticism (like those thrown at Islamic girls for adopting “dancing” as their interest), and open contempt. It would be fitting to end this article with a line by Paulo Coelho: “Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbor is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions.” Labels: | https://www.positivenegativeeffects.com/culture |

You also experience progressive desensitization. What that means is that situations – like for example public speaking or maybe just showing your latest blogpost to an audience out there – that made you feel all shaky become more and more normal in your life. It is not longer something you psyche yourself up to do. It just becomes normal.

Especially now that consumer shopping season is in full swing, we’re being bombarded every day in our inbox, on tv and even as we walk down the street with messages about “free gifts with purchase” and “free upgrades.” It got us thinking of the old phrase, “Nothing in life is ever free.” But then we realized that some things in life are free. They’re just not usually attached to a consumer purchase. Let’s think about what’s not free … and then let’s make a list of what is! Nothing is Ever Free If It Came With Something You Paid For
This is the first thing that you need to understand. If you paid for anything in order to get your “free” item, then it was never, ever free.

This is the first thing that you need to understand. If you paid for anything in order to get your “free” item, then it was never, ever free. The cost of free items is always worked into the dollar amount that you need to spend to get the free item. For example, if you need to spend $50 on a website to get “free” shipping, then what that tells you is that the items on the website are marked up so much that as soon as you hit $50 you have paid for the actual cost of the goods plus your shipping charges (and, typically, at least one cent of profit). So you never really got anything for “free” – you simply earned the company slightly less profit. And you may not have even done that depending on their pricing model! It is true that sometimes freebies known as “loss leaders” do exist. This, you might remember, was essentially the entire business model of Groupon. | https://www.postconsumers.com/2013/09/24/best-things-are-free/ |

It’s true that if you did what most Groupon members do and take the freebie and never go back, that business lost money (that’s why Groupon hasn’t necessarily been successful in the long term). But for smart businesses, that freebie is a way to get more money out of you. Either they are good at convincing you that you want a service or product upgrade, or they leverage the contact information that they got from you when you took the freebie to market other products and services to you.

Expressions of power
Power Over
Power With
Power To
Power Within
Content: Lisa VeneKlasen and Valeries Miller in A New Weave of Power (2002, page 55) describe four ‘expressions of power’ as follows: Power Over
The most commonly recognized form of power, ‘power over’, has many negative associations for people, such as repression, force, coercion, discrimination, corruption, and abuse. Power is seen as a win-lose kind of relationship. Having power involves taking it from someone else, and then, using it to dominate and prevent others from gaining it. In politics, those who control resources and decision making have power over those without. When people are denied access to important resources like land, healthcare, and jobs ‘power over’ perpetuates inequality, injustice and poverty. In the absence of alternative models and relationships, people repeat the ‘power over’ pattern in their personal relationships, communities and institutions. This is also true of people who come from a marginalized or ‘powerless’ group. When they gain power in leadership positions, they sometimes ‘imitate the oppressor.’ For this reason, advocates cannot expect that the experience of being excluded prepares people to become democratic leaders. | https://www.powercube.net/other-forms-of-power/expressions-of-power/ |

This is also true of people who come from a marginalized or ‘powerless’ group. When they gain power in leadership positions, they sometimes ‘imitate the oppressor.’ For this reason, advocates cannot expect that the experience of being excluded prepares people to become democratic leaders. New forms of leadership and decision-making must be explicitly defined, taught, and rewarded in order to promote more democratic forms of power. Practitioners and academics have searched for more collaborative ways of exercising and using power. Three alternatives – ‘power with’, ‘power to’ and ‘power within’ – offer positive ways of expressing power that create the possibility of forming more equitable relationships. By affirming people’s capacity to act creatively, they provide some basic principles for constructing empowering strategies. Power With
‘Power with’ has to do with finding common ground among different interests and building collective strength. | https://www.powercube.net/other-forms-of-power/expressions-of-power/ |

Content: Barriers to accountability in the workplace. Benefits of accountability. Accountability in the workplace fuels successful organizations, but it can be difficult to implement. In fact, according to a Partners in Leadership Workplace Accountability Study, 82% of respondents said they have “limited to no” ability to hold others accountable successfully. On the other hand, 91% of respondents rank accountability near the top of their company’s development needs. As author Pete Lowe points out in HRD Connect, “Real accountability happens in the context of a culture that supports trust and genuine teamwork …. Genuine accountability comes with a fresh honesty that acknowledges where things can improve and a humility that tempers actions.” Accountability, then, is necessary, difficult to achieve, yet attainable. But it might help to start with the definition of accountability first to understand why accountability in the workplace is important. Definition of Accountability
Many people think of accountability in terms of what it isn’t – trying to “catch” employees doing something wrong, ratting out coworkers, or laying down a strict set of rules administered with a punitive approach. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/accountability-workplace-important/ |

Many people think of accountability in terms of what it isn’t – trying to “catch” employees doing something wrong, ratting out coworkers, or laying down a strict set of rules administered with a punitive approach. Rather than creating a proactive atmosphere of responsibility, this negative approach drives a reactive culture of “management by rules.” But there’s a better way. Accountability in the workplace is all about setting and holding people to a common expectation by clearly defining the company’s mission, values, and goals. Employee accountability means holding all levels of employees (from the part-time hourly worker to the C-suite executive) responsible for accomplishing business goals. While accountability at work is critically important, it also needs to be balanced with the need to give employees autonomy in their roles. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/accountability-workplace-important/ |

Content: Not only do these implicit expectations result in confusion over tasks, they also cause tension in relationships.” This, of course, can lead to distrust within the organization. Make no mistake – accountability is hard work and requires a tremendous amount of consistency and follow-through from both leadership and employees. The challenges and barriers are real and, for most, difficult to overcome. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth the effort. Benefits of Accountability
If the challenges of accountability in business are real, so are the benefits. And while building a culture of accountability can be complex, it’s both necessary and achievable. Builds trust
When you hold all employees accountable for doing what they are supposed to do, it breeds trust among individuals and teams. It allows people to count on each other, whether that means meeting deadlines, fulfilling duties, or feeling comfortable enough to approach a co-worker or manager for help. While it can be hard for employees to ask for help, fostering this safe space to seek advice builds independence and trust, both of which strengthen teams. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/accountability-workplace-important/ |

When you hold all employees accountable for doing what they are supposed to do, it breeds trust among individuals and teams.

While it can be hard for employees to ask for help, fostering this safe space to seek advice builds independence and trust, both of which strengthen teams. On the flip side, managers need to lead with transparency, communicate openly, and treat employees fairly with the guidance of policies and standards that apply to everyone. This, too, builds a trusting environment. Improved performance

Fostering a culture of accountability increases efficiency and boosts productivity. How? When employees know who is responsible for what, it eliminates confusion and saves time, allowing individuals to meet clearly defined expectations. But having clear accountabilities alone is not enough, advises Bashay again in HR Magazine. “ Having specific and actionable feedback and evaluation mechanisms is key in measuring people’s success in roles. You must also have a way to evaluate performance.” Tying accountability to performance also means you proactively pay attention to both process and results by correcting sub-par efforts and rewarding excellent performance. When employees turn in poor work or fail to meet expectations, hold them accountable, educate them on expectations, and help them improve. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/accountability-workplace-important/ |

Content: It’s just as important to recognize and reward employees who follow guidelines, act appropriately, and meet or exceed expectations. As the Forbes article points out, “Clear expectations for everyone on the team coupled with an understanding of accountability for their performance are the key ingredients to improving confidence, morale, and production within the team.” It helps to look at employee accountability as two sides of the same coin. It takes everyone to achieve organizational accountability and it also belongs to everyone in the organization. This accountability mentality boosts performance at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Strengthens culture
According to an article in Forbes, a lack of accountability “can have a snowball effect throughout the team.” When you embed accountability into the fabric of your company, you make accountability everyone’s responsibility by “establishing meaningful goals and team buy-in, building trust through support and encouragement, empowering everyone on the team and celebrating successes together.” Author Pete Lowe echoes this point in HRD Connect, writing, “When an organization’s culture is embedded in honesty and integrity it enables people to acknowledge mistakes without fear of blame and to work with the team to reflect, learn and move forward positively.” It takes a consistent effort, starting from the top, to strengthen company culture. And it requires an honest assessment of what’s working and what’s not. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/accountability-workplace-important/ |

Content: But with accountability at the heart of your organization, you will fortify company culture and achieve greater success. Better compliance
When it comes to compliance, why is accountability important? In today’s ever-changing landscape of laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines, compliance touches every industry. As a vital part of operations, compliance depends on accountability in business, holding employees and teams responsible for their decisions, behavior, and actions. Being accountable means working with integrity. And by improving accountability, you reduce your risk of facing fines, lawsuits, oversight, or other consequences of non-compliance. Getting Started
Rather than feeling overwhelmed at the thought of creating enterprise-wide accountability, just build on what you have already by taking one step at a time. A good first step? Ensure employees follow your company’s guidelines and meet expectations by holding them accountable to your crucial policies and procedures. By using a robust, automated policy management system, like PowerDMS, you can give employees easy access to your critical documents. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/accountability-workplace-important/ |

Content: From there, officers can engage the community in more meaningful ways, both improving their reputation and getting help when needed. Encouraging constitutional and community policing practices in your department
The PERF report highlights a few key ways to support constitutional policing while building community relations: Openness about how race issues impact policing in the community – including holding community forums and similar events. Police support for peaceful, legal protests. Fostering transparency and relationships between community members and police – possibly through partnerships, such as having civilian instructors get involved in training. Training officers in how they can interact with citizens in the most effective ways possible. The Police Executive Research Forum isn’t the only group embracing the relationship between community and constitutional policing. The Atlanta Police Department also released materials detailing the ways that constitutional policing best practices can support community policing goals. Former Atlanta Police Chief George Turner suggests that law enforcement agencies can build public trust through actions such as: Providing transparent and timely information about the investigation process when a civilian files a complaint against an officer. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/constitutional-policing-vs-community-policing-looking-at-complementary-strategies/ |

Recognizing the unique needs and challenges of particular groups within the community – such as youth, non-English speakers, LGBTQ, and minorities.

Content: What Makes a Good Drone Policy? A good drone policy will clearly establish the purpose of using drones for law enforcement operations. Deviating from this purpose often predicts liability and PR issues for an agency. The policy should address laws and legislation about drone use, outline proper procedures, and establish accountability measures. It should also cover how long the department will retain images and video footage from drones, and how much surveillance is acceptable.

Government Social Media Policy
Social media can be an extremely helpful tool for government agencies. Here are some practical tips for crafting an effective government social media policy
December 29, 2020
Article highlights
Get started with an effective policy plan. Essential component of a good government social media policy. Sample government social media policies and other helpful resources. Social media can be an incredibly helpful tool for government agencies. No matter what sector or branch of government you are in, your constituents and employees are using social media. According to Pew Research Center, 69% of the public uses some type of social media. And 62% of adults get the majority of their news on social media. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/government-social-media-policy/ |

Content: Social media lets governments connect and engage with their communities. It allows government agencies to share news and information easily and quickly. When used well, government social media can increase transparency and build trust with citizens. But social media can also be dangerous. Social media outlets like Twitter have the potential to spread scandals and create PR nightmares. If government agencies aren’t careful, social media can end up hurting the agency’s reputation and damaging public trust. Therefore, it’s essential for local governments to create and maintain policies to guide social media use. A government social media policy should cover agency use, professional use, and employees’ personal use. The policy should encourage staff to use social media responsibly and thoughtfully both inside and outside of work. A government social media policy helps ensure that social media is a useful tool for your agency instead of a liability. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/government-social-media-policy/ |

The policy should encourage staff to use social media responsibly and thoughtfully both inside and outside of work. A government social media policy helps ensure that social media is a useful tool for your agency instead of a liability. Here are some helpful tips for creating an effective government social media policy
Getting Started: Effective Policy Planning
Your government municipality may already have some form of social media policy in place. According to Pew, roughly half of all workplaces have rules about employees using social media at work. However, the social media landscape changes quickly. You need to make sure your agency’s policy is up to date and broad enough to adequately cover new forms of social media. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/government-social-media-policy/ |

Creating government social media policy can be tricky. Governments must comply with laws and regulations about recordkeeping, privacy, and freedom of information. Social media policies have to protect employees’ right to free speech, but also establish guidelines to make sure employees represent your agency well and don’t release sensitive information. Since a government social media policy intersects with so many other issues, it’s wise to consult with experts from multiple disciplines during the writing process. Your policy creation team should include representatives from HR, IT, communications, legal, and any other relevant departments. You may also want to add some line-level employees from different departments to help ensure employee buy-in. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/government-social-media-policy/ |

Your acceptable use policy may cover how employees can use technology at work and what information they can and cannot share about their work.

Essential Areas of Government Social Media Policy
The days of restricting employee access to all social media platforms are long gone. In the past, social media was mainly used for personal communication. But now, there are many legitimate professional uses of social media. As the Center for Technology in Government points out in a detailed report about designing social media policy, the lines between personal and professional social media use are increasingly blurry.

Some funnel communication from all departments through one or two centralized government social media accounts. Some allow different departments to create and control separate official accounts. For example, the parks and recreation department may have its own Facebook page, or emergency management may create a separate Twitter handle.

Content: Accountability should be a concern for all local government employees, not just elected officials. Governments won’t be able to fulfill their roles if citizens don’t trust all government employees to make decisions that serve the best interest of the community. Even the appearance of questionable behavior can hurt public trust. Therefore, accountability in local government requires strict standards and procedures to promote ethical behavior. As a report by City Ethics points out: “Because we cannot know the character or motivations of those who manage our communities, and because we cannot know how much their personal obligations affect their decisions, we can judge them, and hold them accountable, only by their actions and their relationships as they appear on their face. “In other words, in government ethics, appearances are what matters most. Motivations, feelings, and character are irrelevant.” Ways to Create a Culture of Accountability in Local Government

Content: Local governments should focus on ethical values. Government agencies should teach leaders and supervisors to lead with those principles at the center of everything they do. As Brent Gleeson wrote in an article in Forbes: “ [Values-based leadership] just means leading the team and evaluating performance – both your own and the team's – based more so on the organization's set of values rather than specific metrics and milestones. Managers still have to oversee their team member's ability to execute and be accountable for their role in mission success, but values-based evaluations can't be an afterthought.” For local governments, core values such as integrity, equality, and transparency should provide the foundation for every decision and policy. Citizens won’t care if the government achieves results if government employees do it through misusing funds, cutting corners, or accepting bribes. People need to be able to trust their local government to act responsibly. This makes transparency and public disclosure especially important. Citizens should be able to see how the government is spending their tax money, what services the government is providing, and how government officials are working to improve the community. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/importance-of-accountability-in-local-government/ |

Law enforcement agencies don’t have to create a culture from scratch. Police work comes with a long history of traditions and deeply held values. Police all over the world share core values such as honor, bravery, and the duty to protect. Values drive behavior. People make decisions based on their deepest core values. And employees make decisions at work based on what they perceive that their organization values. So, to create a culture of accountability in law enforcement, departments must emphasize values such as integrity, responsibility, and transparency. Formal and informal values
To shape a healthy culture, it’s important for your police department to have a formal statement of core values. These values form a foundation for policies, procedures, training, and everything else your department does. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/importance-of-accountability-law-enforcement/ |

Creating and maintaining an effective social media policy can help ensure that social media helps your agency instead of hurting it. As part of our series on crucial policies for law enforcement this post will cover potential benefits and pitfalls of social media, and how your department can write an effective social media policy that governs both official and personal use and protects your department. The Pros of Social Media
Social media can help your department communicate and engage with the public. Sites such as Facebook and Twitter give your law enforcement agency some control over your reputation. They let you release facts that can squash potentially harmful rumors. Social media sites can help your agency quickly share information to help keep the public safe. For example, you can alert your community about an emergency storm warning, an accident scene, or an armed suspect at large. Some agencies even use social media sites to gather tips, track down suspects, and investigate crimes. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/law-enforcement-social-media-policy/ |

Content: These sort of posts can damage community trust and put your agency under public scrutiny. Therefore, it’s important for your law enforcement agency to develop solid policies guiding both department-approved uses of social media and officers’ individual uses. Building and Refining Your Social Media Policy
The International Association of Chiefs of Police suggests that law enforcement agencies determine the scope of social media policies before writing them. Your agency should determine the purpose of the policy, and decide what it needs to cover. Like other policies, your social media policy should clearly define terms up front so as to avoid confusion or disputes. IACP’s model social media policy defines things such as “blog,” “post,” “page,” and “profile.” From there, the policy should clearly establish acceptable and unacceptable uses of official and personal social media. Official Use of Social Media
Social media is becoming a more integral part of law enforcement operations. So agencies need thorough guidelines for how to use it to communicate. Many departments appoint a designated social media manager. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/law-enforcement-social-media-policy/ |

Social media is becoming a more integral part of law enforcement operations. So agencies need thorough guidelines for how to use it to communicate. Many departments appoint a designated social media manager. Some allow several different officers to post from official department accounts. In any case, effective law enforcement social media policy will clearly outline who is authorized to represent the department on official agency profiles. Remember: official department social media is public record.

Content: But for official uses, it’s best to stick to facts and avoid weighing in on controversial issues. For example, policies may give social media managers some leeway on responding to questions from the community. However, policies should prohibit posts that comment on pending prosecutions, share confidential information, or make statements about the guilt or innocence of any suspect. Investigating and preventing crimes
Official department social media accounts can be helpful for soliciting tips about crimes or missing people. But individual officers can also use social media for investigations. In fact, a 2014 study by LexisNexis found that 73 percent of officers believe that using social media can help solve crimes faster. According to the study, 8 out of 10 law enforcement professionals actively used social media in investigations. However, the study also found that 52 percent of agencies didn’t have a formal process for doing so. Without proper policies, evidence gathered via social media may not hold up in court. Social media policies can help officers navigate the legal and ethical issues of using social media to gather information. | https://www.powerdms.com/blog/law-enforcement-social-media-policy/ |

Content: Constitutional policing operates within the parameters set by those documents, regulations, and court rulings. But true constitutional policing goes above and beyond the letter of the law. Constitutional policing promotes a keen awareness of the civil liberties of society. Police forces shouldn’t just be asking what the Constitution allows them to do. They should be actively working to protect the civil rights of the people they are policing. This impacts everything from use-of-force to interacting with mentally ill suspects. By seeking to protect people’s constitutional rights in every interaction, police can improve community relations and build public trust. “Policing must be done in a manner that is lawful and constitutional, but also in a way that maintains the consent of the people,” Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson said in the PERF report. “We have to ensure that when we deal with crime and other issues that negatively impact people’s lives, we do so in a way that is consistent with the wishes of the people who are most affected by crime.” Why Constitutional Policing Is Important

And this, in turn, makes it possible for police departments to achieve goals such as reducing crime. However, it isn’t enough for police to simply meet the minimum requirements of the Constitution. In the past, police officers could get away with only a cursory knowledge of constitutional law. But such ignorance won’t fly today. Technology has made issues such as the right to privacy increasingly sophisticated. And citizens are more aware of their rights and eager to hold police officers accountable for perceived violations.

Law enforcement agencies need to do their best to foster a culture of respect for every member of the community they serve. This may mean involving community members into the policy and training process. For example, the Oakland Police Department invites representatives from more than ten diverse groups to teach in their police academy. This means new officers hear directly from people involved in the LGBT community, immigrant rights groups, and more. Resources to Get Started

But Perseverance is also especially notable because it will be the first rover to use plutonium created by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Oak Ridge is working with INL and Los Alamos national laboratory to help NASA beef up its fuel supply for Pu-238. “ Pu-238 gives off a large amount of heat due to radioactive decay during the course of its 87.7 year half-life,” INL said. While other radioisotopes have been studied and used in the past for radioisotope power systems, Pu-238 has demonstrated the best properties for conversion from heat to electricity for space missions, and it has been used safely since the 1960s. However, while the U.S. has enough plutonium to fuel the space missions scheduled for the next decade, the domestic supply of plutonium is a limited resource. In order to establish a new supply of Pu-238 to enable future NASA missions, Congress directed the DOE to resume Pu-238 production. “To make Pu-238, DOE repurposes some of its stockpile of neptunium-237 (Np-237)—a complicated process, involving experts and equipment at three national laboratories,” INL said. ORNL recently automated part of the production process allowing the lab to produce up to 400 grams of Pu-238 each year, moving closer to NASA’s goal of 1.5 kg per year by 2025. | https://www.powermag.com/the-nuclear-battery-aboard-perseverance-the-next-gen-mars-rover/ |

Content: This is a pattern behavior that does not contribute to a good relationship. When two people are in a couple, it is in their best interest to understand that they are together on the same ship. When one fails, so does the other. While conflicts can arise and they do between two different people, couples who want to make it in the long run understand that they must solve the problems together as a team. It is no longer about who is right and who is wrong but more about “how can we work together to solve this problem that we have”. This type of behavior builds trust and friendliness between the two people and lets them solve conflicts in a mature manner. Final Thoughts
A long lasting relationship is not something that is a given. Compatibility between partners is only the soil on which the lasting relationship grows. Although it matters, a couple that wants to make something beautiful grow between them will cultivate their relations and grow as individuals along the way. And as Anthony Robbins says, “Do what you did at the beginning of the relationship and there won’t be an end”. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/10-habits-of-a-lasting-relationship/ |

If your partner is the possessive type, you might have many reasons to be concerned, both for your safety and for the health of your relationship. A possessive person is like a green-eyed monster, and it can lead to dangerous behavior in those who lack enough self-control to avoid violence toward someone they see as a romantic rival. Having a partner who doesn’t want to give you up might seem like an ideal scenario for those who like these types of romance stories in movies and television, but you aren’t a prize to be won. Your own well-being is at stake if your partner is the possessive type. It may be evolving as social norms about what defines a romantic partnership change, but typically both halves of a committed couple expect that their partner will remain not only monogamous, but also emotionally attached to only them. Here are 10 signs that your partner is the possessive type. 10 Signs of The Possessive Type
1. Your Partner tries to restrict your behavior
If your partner is setting limits on how often you can go out, whom you can see, and whom you talk to, that is not something you should tolerate. You are a person of free will who can choose where and whom you will speak with. 2. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/10-signs-partner-jealous/ |

Insecurity is the reason that your partner is constantly attached to you. Whether they believe you will cheat or not, your partner feels the need to check up on you and make sure you are ‘OK’ more often than they should for a healthy relationship. 3. Your partner says demeaning things about others who they believe to be cheaters
This is a very subtle form of manipulation that borders on verbal abuse. First of all, demeaning language toward you should never be tolerated. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/10-signs-partner-jealous/ |

This is a very subtle form of manipulation that borders on verbal abuse. First of all, demeaning language toward you should never be tolerated. Someone who is using belittling words toward others is more likely to do it to you as well. For example, your partner calls someone who they believe to be cheating a ‘slut’ and they also have suspicions that you are unfaithful, well you can fill in the blank about what they call you under their breath. Is it possible that your own behavior might be something that is keeping you from finding a relationship that works? More Videos

4. Your partner has an unstable mood
Researchers looking at abusive relationships say that anger, jealousy and mood instability are all strongly related to how often verbal and physical abuse happens in intimate relationships. It is a sign if their moods are unpredictable and shift from anger to sadness to anxiety frequently. 5. Your partner has a limited support system outside of you
They may be the possessive type if they have a small social circle. Your partner is dependent on you almost entirely for their feelings of self-esteem and self-worth. 6. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/10-signs-partner-jealous/ |

If your partner thinks they are unfavorable compared to a potential romantic rival, you might have reason for concern that your partner is the possessive type. Researchers looking abusive relationships say people who compare themselves negatively with others will try to get their partner’s approval ‘to validate their tenuous sense of self-worth.’ 7. Your partner is afraid of being abandoned
If your partner fears that you will leave them and you are physically weaker than your partner, protect yourself first from the potential of physical assault by getting to a safe location and calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233. Researchers warn that ‘With the exception of serial killers, almost all cases of males killing females occur in the context of an ongoing intimate relationship, and much male intimate violence occurs in the process of real or perceived relationship dissolution. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/10-signs-partner-jealous/ |

Researchers warn that ‘With the exception of serial killers, almost all cases of males killing females occur in the context of an ongoing intimate relationship, and much male intimate violence occurs in the process of real or perceived relationship dissolution. Prior research indicates that men who assault their wives have high chronic anger scores, and that their anger is frequently triggered by attachment change they perceive as uncontrollable.’ 8. Your partner is upset about you spending time with any potential romantic rival
In nature, this behavior is primarily based on the risks to the male and female partners who are raising offspring if there is a romantic rival. For example, if there is a baby and the male is concerned that the female may have gone outside the partnership, there is a risk that if he stays and raises the young it may turn out to not be his genetic offspring. For the female partner, if the male strays, she risks loosing his commitment to raising the young and the resources that he is able to provide for the family. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/10-signs-partner-jealous/ |

You may notice that your partner’s work or social life is suffering because they spend more time at home where they can check up on you.

Here Are 10 Things That Can Improve Mental Health, According To Therapists
1. Write your thoughts and feelings in a journal.
2. Trust in the power of positive thinking.
3. Go on daily walks to calm your nerves.
4. Focus on self-care activities.
5. Don’t forget to say, “Thank you.”
6. Count on “your people.”
7. Tune into sad music.
8. Get more sleep.
9. Unplug and do a digital detoxification.
10. Educate yourself about mental health.
Final thoughts
Content: It might help to write this in your journal, too. 6. Count on “your people.” You’re not going to carry on with life well if you don’t have a support system. This group of people might be your immediate family, or it may consist of a group of close and trusted friends with whom you feel comfortable sharing your feelings. Social connection is vital to mental health. No man is an island, after all. Therapist Ryan Adams of the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Centre did a study on the impact of best friends on stress and the results were not surprising. It revealed that having a best friend present during a challenging experience reduces feelings of negativity and improves feelings of self-worth. If you have people you can count on, they can definitely make bad experiences a lot more bearable. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/10-things-that-can-improve-mental-health/ |

Sarcasm can be funny if you don’t take things personally, but it can also be a form of hostile bulldozing. An aggressive sarcastic person can turn words into daggers while masquerading them behind humor. Usually sarcasm comes out quickly in a way that teases or mocks the other person. If you find yourself among this type of behavior, the best thing to do is walk away. This type of personality loves a good laugh, so if you just ignore them they will stop. But, if you feel the desire to say something, then here are some ways to do just that. 9 Comebacks For Dealing With Sarcastic People
1. “ Don’t let your mind wander, it’s far too little to be on its own.” Sarcasm sometimes carries wit that’s beyond nasty. It comes out in such a way that the words and tone make the recipient it feel uneducated. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/9-comebacks-dealing-sarcastic-people/ |

8. “Remember when I asked for your opinion? Me neither.”
9. “Your inappropriateness knows no boundaries.”
Content: Dr. Clifford N. Lazarus wrote an article for Psychology Today where he expresses that “sarcasm is actually hostility disguised as humor.” And then continues to state: “Despite smiling outwardly, most people who receive sarcastic comments feel put down and usually think the sarcastic person is a jerk. Indeed, it’s not surprising that the origin of the word sarcasm derives from the Greek word “sarkazein” which literally means “to tear or strip the flesh off.” Hence, it’s no wonder that sarcasm is often preceded by the word “cutting” and that it hurts.” When you are among someone sarcastic, listen but don’t respond immediately. Then remind that person of their intelligence and to use their wit appropriately. Relationships can suffer greatly if too much sarcasm is used. It can border on hostility and bullying. You get to decide what you tolerate in your life. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/9-comebacks-dealing-sarcastic-people/ |

7 Behaviors A Sexually Aggressive Person Displays Before Revealing Themselves
7 Hidden Signs
Here are seven potentially “hidden” behaviors of a sexually-aggressive person:
1. Building (Suspicious) Trust
2. Using Manipulative Language
3. Normalizing the Behavior
Inspiration to your Inbox
4. Playing the Victim
5. Degrading Words and Actions
6. Pushing Sexual Boundaries
7. Attempting to Disempower

Content: 1. Building (Suspicious) Trust
Anyone who victimizes others understands the importance of first establishing trust. To build this trust, a sexual predator will make the victim feel as if they’re the focal point of the perpetrator’s attention. What differentiates a sexual deviant from others, however, is the escalating intensity with which they display attentive behaviors. For example, they may text and call at inappropriate times or in excessive numbers. 2. Using Manipulative Language
To gaslight is to “ manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity” – a deceptive tactic that sexual abusers almost always use to achieve their aims. Should the victim challenge the abuser’s actions, the abuser will resort to lying, verbal manipulation, guilt-tripping, and victimization. Gaslighting eventually leaves the victim feeling emotionally drained, helpless, and – most unfortunately – ridden with guilt. 3. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/behaviors-sexually-aggressive-person/ |

Gaslighting eventually leaves the victim feeling emotionally drained, helpless, and – most unfortunately – ridden with guilt. 3. Normalizing the Behavior
The cycle of sexual abuse having begun, the “honeymoon” emotions of attentiveness, care, and charm become less and less frequent. At this point, the vaguely uncomfortable feeling that something was wrong in the beginning is now apparent. Following normalization of unacceptable behavior, the abuser will begin with emotional and psychological exploitation – often culminating in sexually-abusive acts. Inspiration to your Inbox
4. Playing the Victim
Ironic though it may be, men and women who prey on the opposite sex possess a strong sense of victimization. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/behaviors-sexually-aggressive-person/ |

They take responsibility
People with genuine integrity are refreshingly candid about their mistakes. They don’t defend themselves or attempt to minimize what happened. They don’t play the victim card, getting all moody about what they’ve done. People with integrity also show maturity and the ability to own up to stuff without a major meltdown or revengeful attitude. A person with integrity wants to grow and change. They listen to others because they want to learn and change. And they love to learn no matter how old they are. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/integrity-behaviors-someone-displays/ |

Content: Raising a confident child with healthy self-worth means being realistic and understanding their strengths and weaknesses. They have to learn that not everything comes out great at all times, but in trying and persevering, they can reach any goal they want. They might not be good at one thing, but they can continue looking for other ways. 5. Participate in your child’s education. It’s not just a matter of being in contact with teachers; children need to know that their parents are fully invested in their education. A child who knows that his parents are part of his education tends to work harder. Positive reinforcement comes when parents have study and reading time together. Helping them learn also becomes a time to spend together as a family. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/research-reveals-parents-raise-confident-kids-10-things/ |

Content: But it’s to recognize that self-esteem really, truly comes as the result of achievement—in the classroom, on the field, at home—rather than false accomplishments. Instead of praising your child with ‘you’re so smart!’ be specific. Tell him, ‘You did a great job on your spelling quiz,’ or simply, ‘You tied your own shoes!’ Instead of telling him he’s the best on the team when you really don’t mean it, tell him you could tell he tried hard. Next time, he’ll try even harder—guaranteed.” A child who has a loving and supportive home life can overcome just about anything. Raising confident children starts with being confident parents. Our children are always looking at us for examples. We become their mirrors from the time they can focus their eyesight on us. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/research-reveals-parents-raise-confident-kids-10-things/ |

Reversing the Aging Process
Content: A healthy lifestyle entails eating the right food, in the right quantity, and at the right time. Consuming a healthy amount of carbohydrates provides your body with the energy to perform physical activities while proteins enhance muscle repair and building in the body. A healthy diet encourages the body to produce the right hormones for skin rejuvenation, thus, reducing inflammation and the appearance of wrinkles. Reversing the Aging Process
Many people find various excuses to justify their lack of physical activity. People assume that you need access to a gym membership or a trainer to perform the right exercise for aging and this brings up the issue of high costs. Others use the excuse of limited time arising from their busy school and work schedules. The truth is that you should work with what you have. HIIT exercises only take up about 30 minutes and you can create this time by reducing the time you spend online or in front of the TV. Reversing the aging process starts with a clear intention. You need to be focused on how you live your life and reevaluate how you eat and the physical activities to subject your body to. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/reverse-aging-with-exercise-here-is-how/ |

B vitamins, such as vitamin B12, help improve the metabolism, support cellular processes, boost energy, prevent fatigue, and improve cognitive ability. B12 can also help prevent mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Vegans and vegetarians especially need to take B12 supplements, as this vitamin is only found in animal products. If you feel you’re low in this vitamin, you might want to go to a doctor and get a blood test done to check your levels. Even people who consume animal products regularly can become deficient in this vitamin due to improper absorption or medication use.

Content: You also regain a sense of control over your life because you focus on how to make yourself better. Experts at Stanford said that people who emerge stronger through their grief have a positive coping strategy for losing a loved one. But if you keep focusing on your sadness, worries, and negative feelings, you may be at risk of developing depression six months after the loss. Those who feel depressed may end up doing something reckless. Suppressing these feelings of sadness may also lead to destructive behaviors, which is why experts say it’s always good to confide in someone when you’re grieving.

Content: 7. You have a new appreciation for love
Sure, some people turn bitter or angry about losing a loved one. In fact, grief can become a mental illness if a person’s coping skill and ability to process his feelings are complex or misguided, as per the Scientific American. However, grieving can also be a tool that teaches you to appreciate love. You start loving and treating the people in your life the right way because you now know how painful it would be if you lose them. Additionally, you don’t let a day pass without letting them know your feelings. You don’t hold back your feelings because you know the weight and burden of leaving words unsaid. Grief highlights how it is worth loving a person with all your heart. You might not see this yet if you’re still trying to overcome your sadness. Eventually, however, you will embrace love and even falling in love again. | https://www.powerofpositivity.com/things-you-learn-by-losing-a-loved-one/ |

Content: That’s 1.9 billion overweight individuals above the age of 18! The worst part? Obesity is more deadly than being underweight. So why have our obesity rates skyrocketed? The answer might be in the number of meals we eat, and what time we eat them. Back in the 1970’s, people only ate three meals a day. Snacking was unheard of; you ate an early dinner and were fine for the rest of the night. In today’s world, some people eat as many as six meals daily.

Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)
While not yet precise enough as a predictive tool, FCE can be combined with other sources of information such as medical, rehabilitative and diagnostic data to help resolve issues of compensability, disability and employability. By Tiziano Marovino, DPT, MPH, DAIPM
The functional capacity evaluation (FCE) has evolved in many ways since its inception in the 1980s when the work capacity test was becoming the normative test to evaluate disability and return to work status. 1 In our quest to be able to identify applicants who might be at higher risk for lower spine injuries once employed, we began utilizing various forms of pre-employment testing including radiographic screening. 2 As we all know, this specific practice was short-lived and pre-employment screening as an evaluation tool has subsequently been abolished with the advent of research showing a poor correlation between radiographic findings and risk of future injury. 3 Radiologic abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system have not been demonstrated to have any significant predictive capabilities for future risk of injury and, along with legislative changes—most notably the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and it’s antecedents—have led to the demise of pre-employment screening efforts. 4
The most politically correct post-ADA terminology for workplace testing is pre-placement screening. Today, the applicant is hired and then tested (in that order) and a decision made as to whether they can safely and effectively perform the job. The “fit for duty” assessment is performed after the hiring, and not before, as was the case in the past. For the remaining sections of this report, the terms FCE, physical capacity evaluation (PCE), and work capacity evaluation (WCE) will be used to denote separate but distinct (although interrelated) testing formats. The PCE is a physical capacity evaluation that identifies basic human motion parameters, both quantitatively and qualitatively—such as muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, stamina, power, balance, coordination and proprioception. | https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/resources/diagnostic-tests/functional-capacity-evaluation-fce |

For the remaining sections of this report, the terms FCE, physical capacity evaluation (PCE), and work capacity evaluation (WCE) will be used to denote separate but distinct (although interrelated) testing formats. The PCE is a physical capacity evaluation that identifies basic human motion parameters, both quantitatively and qualitatively—such as muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, stamina, power, balance, coordination and proprioception. It is important to distinguish these most basic parameters since they are the foundation of the next level test—the FCE, or functional capacity evaluation. This test examines functional limitations that are defined by more complex multi-joint movements that require neuromuscular synergy to form integrated and purposeful patterns aimed at task completions and could be anything from climbing stairs to lifting a box or sweeping the floor. Within the context of an occupational setting, the term WCE or work capacity evaluation implies a work related FCE since the test evaluates the person’s ability to perform work-related functional tasks, as opposed to home or recreation/social activities of daily living. Selecting The Appropriate Test
In our practice, we find that different groups request different tests depending on their needs. For example, attorneys want both impairment data (PCE) and functional data (FCE) in no fault cases, but FCE and WCE data in workman’s compensation litigation. | https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/resources/diagnostic-tests/functional-capacity-evaluation-fce |

In our practice, we find that different groups request different tests depending on their needs. For example, attorneys want both impairment data (PCE) and functional data (FCE) in no fault cases, but FCE and WCE data in workman’s compensation litigation. In social security determinations, the data requested is primarily FCE-oriented. Our case managers who deal with occupational injury/disease need specific WCE data that is an occupationally-oriented FCE. I have made the distinction between a generic versus specific FCE because one of the real problem areas with FCEs has been poor test selection—i.e., using a generic FCE when the situation warrants a specific FCE based on essential job demands—gathered using a valid job description and/or a job site analysis. When a general (generic) versus a specific FCE is used to make a return to work determination, the end result can be suboptimal. | https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/resources/diagnostic-tests/functional-capacity-evaluation-fce |

Conclusion
Content: The FCE has become, arguably, more functional and less reliant on expensive technology—e.g., utilizing boxes for lifting/carrying tasks and sleds for push/pull tasks. Only relatively few facilities are able to offer the more sophisticated dynamometric testing for PCE data, such as might have been the norm in the past. The lingering questions remain, however, as to whether the FCE is an accurate representation of a person’s ability to perform physical work. Are the results of the FCE reproducible (consistent)? Does it measure what it purports to measure (validity)? Is the FCE sensitive enough to measuring functionally-important changes that might translate into a higher probability of a patient returning to work? And finally, are the results of the FCE-WCE predictive of the primary outcome of interest, namely, the return to work?

Content: Does it measure what it purports to measure (validity)? Is the FCE sensitive enough to measuring functionally-important changes that might translate into a higher probability of a patient returning to work? And finally, are the results of the FCE-WCE predictive of the primary outcome of interest, namely, the return to work? The results of these assessments have implications for employment, compensability determinations, further medical/rehabilitative efforts, disability evaluations, and indemnity/cash benefits. 7
The number of FCE vendors has risen noticeably over the last 15 years, and this form of testing is often used in combination with work conditioning and work hardening (job simulation) programs aimed at returning injured workers back to their respective workplaces. The various vendors have their own proprietary systems that they sell to providers—mostly physical and occupational therapists who are those ultimately performing the testing. We have no idea how the various FCE tests sold relate to each other. In other words, are the test results from one system transferrable to another? Is there a gold standard FCE out there? If there was, we could begin to compare FCE systems with the gold standard and derive an estimate of concurrent validity but, as it stands, we do not. | https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/resources/diagnostic-tests/functional-capacity-evaluation-fce |

How much precision do we expect from an FCE test? After all, we are trying to get at a functional rating score made up of measures that tend to vary from day to day and based on a constellation of variables—such as co-morbidities, aging, injury, weather, sleep level, motivation, stress etc. We often try and characterize sincerity levels when performing the FCE test items since the psych-physical connection will ultimately determine the actual scores on each test item. A number of possible methods have been proposed to get an estimate of patient sincerity levels when performing the FCE—including using the coefficient of variation (ratio of the standard deviation of a set of scores to its mean, expressed as a percentage). The validity of using the CV statistic, in isolation, for measuring sincerity of effort has been challenged however. 8,9 The consensus appears to be that the CV statistic is a valuable component in the determination of sincerity of effort but should be used in conjunction with other protocol measures—creating what Matheson refers to as a reliability profile. 10
In many cases, the FCE and WCE testing is performed prior to commencing a work recovery program to identify functional deficits and, at the end of a work program, to determine if goals were met and return to work is possible. This is the case where there is an injured worker who has been through formal physical and/or occupational therapy but is not ready to return to work. It is important to note that physical therapy is designed to focus on restoring normal range of motion, strength, muscle endurance etc. It is not unusual that a person, who has restored strength and mobili | https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/resources/diagnostic-tests/functional-capacity-evaluation-fce |

How many teeth does a dog have?
Content: Once a dog has its complete set of adult teeth, then that’s it. If a tooth is cracked or lost, it’s gone for good. That’s why good oral hygiene is essential, and brushing your dog’s teeth is a great idea. Can teeth tell me how old my dog is? Once your dog has all his adult teeth, it’s challenging to tell how old he is just by looking at them. With most owners aware of the need to look after their pet’s oral health, many dogs have very white and healthy teeth even into old age. After six to seven months of age, your dog will lose all their baby teeth and have a complete set of permanent teeth. As tooth condition varies a lot depending on diet and care, it’s unlikely that you will guess their age based on the state of the teeth alone. If your dog is young, however, then it is possible to estimate their age based on a timeline of when the dog’s teeth typically erupt: Tooth Eruption

Do dogs get cavities? Tooth cavities are rare in dogs. Their tooth shape, lack of sugar in their diet, and different mouth bacteria generally mean that their teeth do not suffer in the same way that ours do. However, food debris can gather around the gum line, which may lead to problems with infections, causing the gums to recede and periodontal disease, and ultimately to the loss of teeth. If a cavity is identified, it can be filled in much the same way as a cavity in our mouth, although, for the veterinarian’s safety, a dog will be anesthetized! Dental Care
If you have an adult dog that you are struggling to persuade to open its mouth, then there are other ways that you can help to manage their dental health – although brushing is best. | https://www.practicalpaw.com/how-many-teeth-does-a-dog-have/ |
