How To Go Gluten-Free Course – Lesson 4

Your kitchen is the one place where you should be able to safely prepare and eat gluten-free meals. But how can you make that happen? By following a step-by-step process, you and your family can live and cook in a gluten-free zone free from cross-contamination.

Before you convert your pantry and refrigerator to accommodate gluten-free groceries, you’ll need a well-constructed plan. The first question to ask should be whether or not the kitchen can become 100% dedicated gluten-free, which will be determined by how many family members are switching to the new diet plan.

Many people across the country are doing the same thing, so you won’t be alone in your decision. Karen and I know of households where only one or two members are no longer eating gluten and have made their kitchens very safe.

Already Kicked Gluten Out of Your House?

As I previously mentioned, when my daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease my wife and I decided our family would become gluten-free. Switching was difficult at times, but watching her grow into a healthy young girl has been worth all the effort.

Once you transition to a gluten-free diet you won’t have to worry about cross-contamination, labeling, or storing food in special bins. But you have to make sure your home truly is free of gluten.

If you have already turned your house gluten-free, it is still worth skimming the rest of this Lesson to make sure you have everything covered. And occasionally, you end up cooking in a kitchen that is not yours – like when you are on vacation. Reading through this information will help you be prepared for those situations.

How to Protect Food in a Shared Kitchen

Although it’s possible to share gluten-free with non-gluten items, you’ll need to take extra precautions to make sure your gluten-free food stays safe. Find designated shelf space in the pantry and fridge that you can use for non-gluten items.

Keeping gluten-free items in sealed containers helps in a couple of ways. First, it ensures your gluten-free food won’t become contaminated by any sneaky food particles. And second, the container is portable so it’s easy to transport food from place to place.

When the dedicated space is ready to go, you can stock your shelves with items like gluten-free cereals, crackers, and flour. Then label them on all sides as such with a permanent marker, or big, legible labels so there’s no question about what’s in the container.

In some cases, you will have both gluten and non-gluten items. Using a utensil (i.e., spreading a condiment on a sandwich with a knife) exposed to food containing gluten risks causing cross-contamination. So it’s safer to have two sets of more commonly used items in a shared kitchen. For example, plan to have two of things like mustard, butter, jam and peanut butter — making sure to label the correct ones as gluten-free.

Salad dressing, condiments, and perishable food can be stored on the shelves you’ve chosen to be gluten-free. It is a good idea to put a big label on the shelves stating “Gluten-Free” so that others in the household know to leave the food alone.

If you have a shared kitchen you should also have dedicated cookware (i.e., a pasta strainer, cutting board, cookie sheets, pots and pans, etc.). Keep them on the designated shelf in the pantry.

If several people cook in the kitchen an idea is to buy brightly colored utensils and cookware. Or use bright labels. Then everyone in your house knows that all the cookware with red on it is your gluten-free cookware. It’s just one more way to help prevent accidental cross-contamination.

Now that you have an idea of how to make your kitchen safely gluten-free, it’s time to finish your plan and share it with your household.

Sharing Your Plan

Have you already thought of ways to make room for gluten-free food in your kitchen? If you share your kitchen with others it is a good idea to think out your gluten-free kitchen strategy first and share it with the people you live with.

By making a plan and sharing it with everyone in your house, you will be educating them on your strategy. When those you live with know your plan, they will be less likely to accidentally cause cross contamination or eat your expensive cookies.

Write a simple but comprehensive outline in your journal using topics such as:

  1. How foods will be labeled and stored.
  2. Where the food will be stored.
  3. Where you will keep gluten-free cookware, appliances and utensils.
  4. How you plan to prepare the meals.

Anything else specific to your situation can be added as you become more familiar with your new lifestyle.

Once your plan is complete, convene a meeting with all members of your household. Discuss the steps in detail, and be open to receiving feedback as you might get some good suggestions. Going gluten-free can seem daunting at first.

By the way, I talk mostly about family because that’s the lifestyle I have. But this guide also works for roommates and guests – anyone who will be eating in your home who needs to know about your situation.

Now you’re ready to put your plan into action, but where do you begin? Next I’ll give you checklists to help you get your kitchen safely gluten-free.

Checklist for Shared Kitchens

If you are sharing your kitchen with gluten food (and presumably the people who eat that food) then follow this list to make sure you have a safe place to prepare and eat your meals. The recommendations for finding space in your kitchen are pretty conservative. If you have room in your kitchen, claim as much space as you can!

  1. Pick a shelf or drawer in the refrigerator that will be yours. Find a new spot for the foods that are there now. Get a towel and thoroughly clean the shelf or drawer. Now label this space gluten-free.
  2. Pick a shelf in the pantry or cupboard that will be yours. Find a new home for the stuff presently in that space. Clean it well. Now label this space gluten-free.
  3. Clean out your utensil holder and plan to start doing this on a regular basis if the utensil drawer is near a place where others prepare food with gluten in it.
  4. Clean out your cooking utensils drawer (if you have one) and plan to clean it out periodically if it attracts crumbs.
  5. Pick out a food storage container set that you can use for leftovers.
  6. Buy a couple of cooking utensils like spoons and spatulas
  7. It is not mandatory to buy a separate muffin pan, cookie sheet, or cutting board, but it is the safest way to go if you can afford it. If you plan to share these items with gluten foods, make sure they are extra super clean before you use them for gluten-free cooking.
  8. Get a toaster or toaster oven eventually. You can get by with sharing a toaster with everyone else if you buy some Toastabags – which are Teflon envelopes that protect your bread or bagel from touching any crumbs in the toaster. They are inexpensive to buy on
  9. Start buying gluten-free foods!

Checklist for Making Your Kitchen Dedicated Gluten-Free

If you live alone or everyone you live with is going gluten-free, I recommend following these steps to make your kitchen safe from cross-contamination.

  1. Eliminate all food containing wheat, barley, rye, or oats as an ingredient.
  2. Eliminate any food items that might be cross-contaminated. For example, condiments (like ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise), spreads (like peanut butter), and jars of jam might be contaminated with gluten crumbs.
  3. Give away plastic food storage containers that have held gluten food.
  4. Give away strainers, the toaster, and any utensils and cookware that might be contaminated (but hold on to your toaster oven if you have one because you can clean it out and cook your foods on aluminum foil)
  5. Clean, clean, clean! Sanitize the utensil drawer, and scrub pots and pans and baking sheets. Sanitize the refrigerator, pantry, and cupboards to make sure there are no loose crumbs floating around. Scrub cutting boards – especially plastic and wood ones because their surfaces are absorbent and can contain residue from earlier use. White vinegar and water works great as you’re not using toxic chemicals, and it smells so clean. Also after you’ve cleaned the refrigerator, it wouldn’t hurt to wash the walls with water and baking soda as it organically deodorizes and sanitizes.

Now you can start fresh with new utensils, cookie sheets, a new toaster, new food storage containers, and a new strainer — one of everything will suffice. And if buying new isn’t possible on your budget, you can get by with sanitizing existing cookie sheets, utensils, and storage containers really, really well. However, the toaster still has to go, as there’s no way to get it 100% gluten-free from prior use.

Then start filling your cabinets with gluten-free food, and you’re on your way!

  1. Step one in converting the kitchen is to decide whether you’ll have both gluten and non-gluten food in the kitchen or if you can make your kitchen completely gluten-free.
  2. If you have to share your kitchen with both gluten and non-gluten (depending on who will be using the new meal plan), share your plans with the entire household.
  3. Make sure the food, cookware, pantry, refrigerator and eating space are free of gluten.
  4. Thoroughly sanitize the kitchen, including the pantry and refrigerator.
  5. Designate clearly labeled storage spaces and containers as gluten-free to prevent cross-contamination.

Taking these precautions to make sure the food you eat and cookware you use are safe from gluten cross-contamination will give your body a chance to heal completely. Best of all you will start to feel so good you’ll wonder why you didn’t do this sooner!

Hawkeyes Enjoy Day Off in Paradise, Prepare for Long Beach State

Nov. 21, 2010

ST. THOMAS, USVI – – The Iowa men’s basketball team enjoyed a day off today after recording a 55-47 victory over Alabama last night in the Paradise Jam. The Hawkeyes had their best defensive effort of the season, limiting the Crimson Tide to only 47 points, and 13% shooting from beyond the arc.

Iowa will now face Long Beach State in the tournament’s fourth-place game Monday at 2:30 p.m. (CT) at the Sports and Fitness Center. The 49ers beat Saint Peter’s 68-56 yesterday to advance to play the Hawkeyes.

The team was able to enjoy a little fun this afternoon on its day off. The tournament hosts organized a two-hour snorkeling trip for the team today. The players had a great time and were able to do something many of them have never done before.

Redshirt junior Devon Archie, who has provided a spark off the bench the last two games, enjoyed the free time with his teammates.

“The snorkel trip was amazing,” said Archie. “This has been a great trip so far. We’ve really enjoyed our time down here.”

Sophomore Cully Payne was hesitant to get in the water, but was glad he did.

“This was a great opportunity and I enjoyed the snorkeling a lot,” said the Hawkeye point guard. “I saw a lot of fish up close. It was pretty cool.”

“The snorkeling was a lot of fun. We saw a lot of fish; one group even saw a stingray,” said junior Jordan Stoermer. “Hopefully we can continue what we did last night, get another win and come back to Iowa City with two victories.”

The Hawkeyes begin their preparation for Long Beach State tonight with a two-hour practice at a local high school. Iowa has only played Long Beach State, once before – beating the 49ers 101-79 on Dec. 4, 1993.

Coverage of tomorrow’s contest can be found online with live stats, video stream and twitter updates (twitter.com/iowahoops).

He is remembered in particular for his controversial attempts to provide tangible proof, in the form of plaster moulds of ectoplasmic limbs. Born in Montceau-les-Mines, Gustave Geley completed his medical studies in Lyon with distinction and then practised medicine in Annecy until , gaining a good reputation. Both were published under the pseudonym of E Gyel. Then, in , he published under his own name a new model of the living: Les Preuves du Transformisme et Les Enseignements de la Doctrine Evolutionniste , a new view on Darwinism.

However, this did not happen during its early years, to the disappointment of psi research proponents, and funds intended for this purpose were diverted towards conventional psychology. Geley followed his intellectual path for some years in isolation.

In the summer of , when Italy entered the Allies' side during First World War, Santoliquido was appointed to head a sanitary commission based in Paris, and asked Geley to become his secretary.

The two men had hitherto only exchanged letters, and this was the beginning of a close professional relationship. He also became the physician of Gabriel Delanne, who represented the scientific aspect of French Kardecian spiritism. With Jean Meyer, a wealthy Kardecian spiritualist and wine merchant, as financial sponsor, they founded a modest laboratory for the scientific study of psi phenomena in Avenue Suffren in Paris in The three then founded the IMI in April , with Geley as its first director and Santoliquido as its first president.

Geley led further sessions from December to March Drawing on photography 24 photos , he sought to demonstrate that materialization phenomena are genuine and obey certain laws, which he conceived as a type of physiology that allows ideoplasty.

While ideodynamism refers to the physiological realization of an idea such as a hypnotic suggestion, ideoplasty extends this process to matter itself. The idea is no longer a product of matter, but on the contrary, the model that gives it form and attributes.

In , Geley published De L'Inconscient au Conscient 8 proposing a theory of evolution that incorporates and supports the existence of ectoplasmic materialization. Geley 11 described ectoplasm as a two-step process. First, a pre-existing substance externalizes from the medium.

This substrate initially has the appearance of a white veil or sort of saliva but gradually adopts a variety of forms, principally those of more or less complex human organs. The superior dynamism which models ectoplasms is generalized by Geley to the whole organism, in order to explain some biological anomalies. Ectoplasm will be the extreme end of ideoplasty, but another kind of passive ideoplasty will be involved in conventional embryogenesis and physiological functions of the organism.

Geley assigned to the subliminal Self the role of organizer of the psychic and the organic. He did not completely reject the possibility of involvement by external entities, 14 but he did not need them for his thesis. Geley recognized Carl du Prel as an influence in forming his ideas, and also acknowledged Frederic Myers, the British psychical researcher and author, as having provided documented examples. Sympathetic critics pointed to an imbalance between synthesis and analysis.

Although no mystic, his philosophy derived from a moral position. His comprehensive moral and scientific philosophy, based as it was on a few strong ideas, left little room for analytical precision or for an adequate report of crucial facts cited. In experiments with Kluski, moulds of ectoplasmic limbs were made through the use of hot paraffin and special control conditions. However, the reports were received with much skepticism in the press. At the end of , Geley started a counter-offensive, devoting a full year to demonstrating the phenomena to as many observers as possible.

Of these, thirty-five signed a document formally stating that they had witnessed the phenomena. These opinions were widely repeated in the press and exacerbated the bad reputation of psi research. For Geley this activity proved to be a time-consuming distraction from his earlier project of testing his hypotheses on paranormal physiology. He was killed in a plane crash on July 15, while returning from Warsaw with new moulds of ectoplasmic materializations by Franek Kluski.

The circumstances are worth noting. A second pilot also declined. But Geley was under pressure to leave for Paris, as days later he had an appointment in London with William Hope, a medium who claimed the ability to impress thoughts onto photographic plates and whom Geley had been trying to study for five years, suspecting him of being fraudulent.

The plane crashed at take off in the Warsaw suburbs. When his body was recovered, he was found still clutching the little suitcase containing the results of his last experiments. Brower, M.

Toys “R” Us is being resurrected for the holiday season. After filing for bankruptcy protection from creditors in September 2017, it closed all its stores in the United States and United Kingdom earlier this year. But on November 13, 2018, Judge Keith Phillips of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Richmond, Virginia, signed off on a bankruptcy plan that revealed that investors intended to use the company’s brands in various ways. An initial approach can be found inside 600 Kroger supermarkets, where there are pop-up toy stores called “Geoffrey’s Toy Box” after the company’s giraffe icon.

But the environment that caused the toy chain’s demise has not changed. It still must compete with Walmart, Target, and especially Amazon, a competition based on price and convenience that it could not win.

An HBR article that one of us (Joe) wrote a year ago made the case that retailers today face two choices: offer consumers time well saved or time well spent. Toys “R” Us failed at the former strategy in its first incarnation. In coming out of bankruptcy, the company must pursue a time-well-spent strategy, offering places where both parents and their kids enjoy great experiences. (The Kroger pop-up stores are not promising: They offer no experiences, just boxes of toys.)

Here’s what Toys “R” Us should do now that it is freed of the shackles of bankruptcy and has a blank slate:

The underlying issue that set up Toys “R” Us for its collapse into commoditization is that it lost sight of whom it served. Its efforts primarily centered on its vendor relationships and pushing more and more product onto the floors and shelves of its stores.

For the reborn company to have a chance, it must turn 180 degrees and embrace a parent- and kid-centric strategy. It must become a stager of toy-playing experiences — enticing consumers into its new places by offering experiences that both parents and kids value. (What child wants to go to a warehouse? What child doesn’t want to play?) It should strive to maximize the time consumers spend in its places, because the longer they are there, the more they will buy. This is the essence of a time-well-spent strategy.

Imagine venues designed not around stocking toy packages with never-ending red-tag sales but around toys themselves with never-ending play experiences — one with spots where children can play with LEGO sets and participate in gaming tournaments. Imagine a testing lab where vendors pay to have children play with their latest and greatest toys. Imagine a studio where kids can design and create toys. Imagine becoming THE place for children’s birthday parties. (Surely Toys “R” Us could stage a far better experience than, say, Chuck E. Cheese’s, an experience that actually involves parents rather than shunting them off to the side.) In such venues, the warehouse would be in the back, out of consumers’ sight.

The absolute best way of knowing you’re providing time well spent is to charge admission for gaining entry to at least parts of the store — as the old Toys “R” Us once did for the Ferris wheel in its former flagship store in Times Square in New York City. (The old company smartly didn’t just get consumers to pay for admission, it also got suppliers to pay for their brands to be painted on the Ferris wheel’s cars.

In addition, Toys “R” Us could create a toy club that parents would value so much they’d pay a membership fee. Not like Costco or Sam’s Club memberships that merely provide access to low prices and thereby teaches consumers to buy on price, price, price. Instead, it could be a club that helps parents assess their children’s styles of play, their proclivities for creativity, curiosity, socialization, and all the other factors that enable them to grow socially, mentally, and even physically. The club’s fees could include the ability to return toys past their useful life or age-appropriateness and upgrade them via customized recommendations based on each individual child. Imagine becoming partners with parents in enhancing their parenting skills, invested in the well-being of their customers’ children.

By changing its business model to offer — and charge for — time well spent, the new Toys “R” Us can carve out a lasting and valued role in the toy business for decades to come. It can become the enterprise where a kid can be a kid.

I Bought an iPhone3GS and Now I Want to Read

Not sure if you looked up in the sky last night, but a rare astronomical event occurred as planets aligned with soon-to-expire cellphone contracts and only a 5-minute wait at the local Apple store… so after many months of waiting… I finally got my iPhone. I spent the evening getting my gMail and Google Apps affairs in order, downloaded a cool typographic wallpaper and now I’m ready to read.

I haven’t bought a book yet, but I grabbed these iPhone apps and a few freebie books to page? flick? thumb? through. What I’m asking is… what reader/app am I missing? I’m coming late to the game and I want to start with everything in the arsenal and then weed out the slackers. So, my iPhone book reading slate on Day One is…

Barnes & Noble Store
Barnes & Noble eReader
Kindle for iPhone
Fictionwise’s eReader
BeamItDown book of Benjamin Button
Iceberg book of Jame’s Patterson’s Maximum Ride

Of course, some of these are eReaders and others are books as apps, which should be fun to try and see what bells and whistles are available. So let me know of any free or paid apps that I need to add. True, I am always looking for good reads, but this time I’m looking for who is getting right and who is presenting the best reading experience on the iPhone platform. Though not my usual genre, I hear I need to check out some Harlequin material, as they have been leaders in the digital space for over a year now, but what else am I missing?

This is going to be fun!

A Model for Successful Engagement and Support through Virtual Connections

By Joanne Lee on June 23rd, 2021

Virtual platforms have become a lifeline for many during the COVID-19 pandemic to disseminate timely information and resources, and stay connected with partners. Since 2012, County Health Rankings & Roadmaps (CHR&R) has been a national leader in utilizing virtual connections to support community leaders and practitioners across the country. Their monthly webinars remain one of the organization’s highest profile services. The webinars feature respected leaders discussing a variety of community health improvement topics and reach community practitioners nationwide. Each webinar is followed by a virtual discussion group which is facilitated by Healthy Places by Design. The discussion groups promote cross-community sharing about the topic and encourage practitioners to think about how they may apply strategies presented in the webinars in their communities. Ericka Burroughs-Girardi is a Senior Outreach Specialist and lead producer for the CHR&R webinars. She shares her perspectives about virtual platforms and connections, and their value in supporting communities striving to achieve health and racial equity.

JL: How did the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps (CHR&R) webinars begin, and how have they evolved over the past eight years?

EBG: Webinars are a regular part of CHR&R’s suite of outreach to communities. We consider webinars a tool to reinforce the message that there are many factors that influence how long and how well people live. The content is designed to help audience members take steps to improve the health of their community. Early webinars focused on introducing the public to the Rankings Model and steps to improve health in CHR&R’s Action Center. They featured more downstream, or programmatic, solutions to health challenges.

Over time and as the community health improvement field evolved, we recognized a need to shift to more upstream, or policy-focused, solutions. In 2017, we began to intentionally incorporate health equity into the webinars, with a specific focus on helping community practitioners translate it into action. We also added special topic series to support communities in their efforts to address timely issues as they emerged. We began co-producing webinars with other national organizations, such as NeighborWorks America and UnidosUS, to increase their reach and impact. Over the years, we have discovered what I like to call the “secret sauce” of our webinars – the key ingredients being teamwork, relatability, and follow-up support. To host a successful webinar, it takes a team of people, both on camera and behind-the-scenes, with clear roles.  Our webinar production team includes a lead producer, an assistant producer, an audience engagement (chat) manager, a Q&A manager, and a technologist. Additionally, we’ve adopted a tone resembling that of a podcast so audiences feel like they are part of an intimate conversation with webinar presenters. We encourage the audience to engage with us, using chat prompts and live polling. Since our objective is to help community practitioners learn about and apply community health improvement strategies, we follow up with the audience. They receive a customized resource guide that includes links to tools and strategies.

Our organizations (CHR&R and Healthy Places by Design) have an eight-year partnership, and it has been mutually beneficial for Healthy Places by Design to lead the planning and facilitation of the discussion groups that follow each CHR&R webinar. Describe the discussion groups and how they fit into the strategy to support communities.

I couldn’t agree more that our partnership has been mutually beneficial! Our organizations share the same vision to advance community-led action and proven, place-based strategies to ensure health and wellbeing for all, and our capacities are complementary.

As the CHR&R webinar content became more equity-centered, audience questions revealed their need to “unpack” the content. We knew we had to offer a deeper learning experience than a 60- minute webinar if we wanted participants to feel confident taking steps to create equitable health solutions. Through our partnership with Healthy Places by Design, we launched the post-webinar discussion groups in 2017.  Feedback from participants showed them to be successful in helping attendees process what they heard and talk with others about challenging and complex issues. We have seen how the smaller virtual meeting format enables discussion group participants to be more actively and intimately engaged, sharing local solutions and presenting challenges to resolve with peers. Healthy Places by Design’s expert facilitation of these groups creates a safe learning environment where participants feel comfortable sharing their vulnerabilities. This often bolsters learning. There is authenticity, laughter, and even tears shed when the dialogue gets real and raw. It’s been rewarding to see discussion group participants self-organize by sharing contact information and tools they have developed. The discussion groups have emerged as a key ingredient in the success of CHR&R’s community outreach and support.

"...because growth never happens in a space of comfort. Expect the CHR&R webinars and discussion groups to challenge status quo thinking and solutions."

As you reflect on the evolution of the CHR&R webinars, what are you most proud of?

Personally, I am most proud of the Health Equity and Social Solidarity in the Time of the Pandemic: Strategies for COVID-19 Response and Recovery webinar series (May-August 2020). It focused on inequities magnified by the pandemic and highlighted equitable recovery strategies. While it featured veteran equity champions, such as Dr. Camara Jones, it primarily highlighted unsung heroes deeply committed to equity. And this year, the Declaring Racism as a Public Health Crisis webinar (May 2021) drew 1,000 participants for the first time in the program’s history! That confirmed we are responding to our audience’s learning needs. I credit the increase in attendance to our organization’s willingness to be courageous in addressing topics that are timely and aligned with the root causes of health inequities, such as structural racism.

The webinars are one of our best outreach tools in our efforts to support communities. I am excited that average webinar attendance has grown from 150 participants in 2014 to over 500 in 2020. And discussion group attendance has grown, too, cresting over 100 in recent months!

And what key lessons have you learned as the webinars and discussion groups have grown over time?

I have learned that communities are incredibly resilient. Creating equitable communities is a collective effort, one that requires all of us to be committed to its achievement. We must support each other by sharing of resources, tools, and even words of encouragement. We must be inclusive and share power with those who are most impacted by health inequities. These values have weaved their way into the CHR&R webinar production process. We recognize that communities own their stories. We are simply sharing our national platform for their experiences to be heard. In this way, we are choosing inclusivity and to share our power.

What can we look forward to as you build upon the past successes of the CHR&R webinars and discussion groups?

I am excited to say that you can look forward to more CHR&R webinars and discussion groups! We’ve seen that communities are ready to engage in upstream solutions, so you can expect our webinars to dig even deeper into roots of health inequities. The content may feel uncomfortable at times. When it does, I hope the audience will have faith that it is a sign of growth because growth never happens in a space of comfort. Expect the CHR&R webinars and discussion groups to challenge status quo thinking and solutions. We want community leaders, residents, practitioners, and decision makers to leave our webinars and discussion groups feeling equipped to create equitable solutions.

Is Facilitative Leadership an Art or an Ordeal?

By Rich Bell on August 16th, 2017

If you’re a changemaker who is committed to community engagement as an essential practice for advancing health equity and addressing complex problems, you are undoubtedly drawn to facilitative leadership. After all, you’re dealing with the failures of inflexible, hierarchical, and overly-specialized systems in order to solve these problems. And who wouldn’t support leaders who listen, involve everyone, nurture individual and group capacity, adapt to change, grow and distribute leadership, respect difference, leverage diversity, deepen collaboration, build alignment, and focus on systemic and transformational change? Our respect for the art of facilitative leadership is such that we flock to trainings in the hope of developing this magical combination of skills in ourselves, our partners, and our grantees.

But what’s it really like to apply this learning in practice? What’s it like to try to take principles off a page and face the flood of complexity, difference, difficulty, and conflict that real community change throws at us? What’s it like to develop a facilitative culture where none exists?

Fortunately, there are brave souls in communities across the country who try every day to grow into more facilitative leaders. They also share common challenges. Here are a few lessons that leaders have learned along the way.

The better you are at engagement and inclusion, the harder your job seems to become. Each new partner or resident leader brings new information needs, more relationships to nurture, new demands and perspectives to accommodate, new potential for misunderstanding or conflict, and more daily tasks and interactions. Success often brings more work for leaders, especially in the short term.

Taking sole responsibility and getting things done yourself can ultimately slow you down and lead you astray. As the work expands, it’s easy for highly responsible, achievement-oriented people to work longer and harder. Overusing these strengths can exhaust a leader, dulling their ability to pick up on subtle messages and dynamics within partnerships. That exhaustion makes it difficult to bring restraint, receptivity, and flexibility to challenging moments. It can also amplify emotions, skew perspective during challenging times, and lead to burnout.

Control feels important, but it can trip you up. When working with complexity and uncertainty, control may seem paramount. In their desire for greater control, leaders are sometimes tempted to select easily-attainable goals rather than transformative, longer-range ones. Desire for control can also cause leaders to look internally for solutions and tempt them to use unnecessary resources within a partnership. These tendencies can limit community impact and curtail new relationship building.

Keeping a wide range of people aligned and mutually accountable can sometimes lead to resentment and conflict. For a partnership to thrive, leaders are often called upon to balance various interests, maintain procedures and standards, align activities with the vision, and raise difficult issues. This process can sometimes result in people taking things personally, casting blame, and undermining the leader. This dynamic can be intensified when the leader is given a great deal of credit for shared successes or if individuals feel insufficiently recognized themselves.

Conventional thinking and structures never stop tugging at the partnership. Most partners represent organizations with conventional structures and management. Many are used to thinking in terms of their profession’s data, models, and expertise. This influences what they bring and don’t bring to partnerships. Conventional views about power, credentials, efficiency, and issues of race and social identity also affect the dynamics of a partnership. These make it challenging to develop a facilitative culture.

Consensus can bog down large partnerships. Partnerships often choose to operate by consensus in order to ensure inclusion and broad ownership of decisions. At times, the demands of scheduling meetings and communicating with everyone until there is consensus can exhaust both leaders and participants. Partnerships that don’t empower small groups to make some decisions or vary their decision-making methods can risk slowing their progress as the scope of the work grows.

Failure is part of the process. As partners, including residents, learn to lead or lead differently, and as diverse groups do this together, they will fail along the way. Allowing for failure and providing guidance and support to limit the fallout from failure is part of the work. Since partners, funders, and other supporters don’t all react to failure in the same way, this process can create anxiety that needs to be managed.

The point of sharing these challenges is not to discourage, but rather to be clear-eyed about the facilitative leadership path. It is a rigorous process that exposes our preferences, biases, rigidities, and vulnerabilities.

None of us can be fully prepared for a process that requires our individual and collective evolution, but many of us welcome a path that calls on us to improve.

Whether we think of it as an art or an ordeal, facilitative leadership is transformational. We should follow it for our own sake and for the sake of our communities.

There are many places for shopping and great restaurants as well.

Krabi is located a little further offshore and offers a slightly different experience. While the beaches are still fairly nice there are less touristy activities and a focus on all-natural, scenic activities. It’s a good island for people who like the more natural aspect of visiting foreign countries and diving.

Ang Thong Islands If you want a more tropical type of holiday than this island is the island for you. It has two large islands, Phetchabun and Raiwind, and a smaller island of Bang Tao. It’s best known for its diving and there is an abundance of it on Ang Thong. Some things to enjoy are snorkeling, swimming, surfing, and more. There is a resort on the island that offers scuba diving, which is very popular among tourists.

Nakhon Ratchasima is a small island that is only accessible by boat or plane. It offers some great diving and there are a few resorts on the island that offer scuba diving. It’s not as popular as the other islands, and you’ll have to book extremely high season to be able to get a room, but it is a great island to just chill out on, swim in the sea, and watch the boats roll by.

All of these islands offer a great diving experience. Many people come here for that reason and there are many types of activities to enjoy. The waters are warm, and you will likely come across some turtles here if you’re diving on Ang Thong or Bang Tao. If you are looking for an underwater adventure, then you should really consider diving Phuket or just snorkeling Phuket. There are also lots of wrecks to dive at, and you can just sit and watch the boats pass by. These are some of the best diving beaches in Thailand and a must-see if you ever go to Phuket, Thailand.

About me
Creative design and communications for disruptive start-ups, brands and movements who are positively changing our world.
We can no longer continue with business-as-usual during a climate and ecological emergency. I work with B Corps and purpose-driven brands who are using business as a force for good to help drive a regenerative economy, and NGOs who are campaigning for a socially just and greener world.
I believe in the power of creativity to make an idea irresistible, and the ability of communications to inspire real change.
From crafting brands from scratch, to designing and implementing digital campaigns that inspire millions, I love projects that need a creative approach to inspire an audience into thinking differently or taking action.
With over 10 years experience in industry, I've worked as a designer at sustainability strategy and creative agency Futerra, and Head of Design and Communications for Fashion Revolution. In my 5 years at Fashion Revolution, I built the brand, art directed and designed a wealth of resources spanning online, print and event materials, from the annual campaign materials for Fashion Revolution Week, the Fashion Transparency Index, Manifesto for a Fashion Revolution, three fanzines, films, educational resources and action packs, exhibitions, to social media graphics and the website. Fashion Revolution is now the world’s largest fashion movement, which has won global awards for design and communications and engaged millions of people around the world. Fashion Revolution was awarded a Design Award at the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney, in partnership with Good Design Australia in May 2018.

Lost your parenting mojo?

15 June 2020
And so say all of us…
* * *

It is common to have parenting highs and parenting lows.

It’s also common to have parenting seasons.
I know for me, I can go through periods where I’m on form, present, fun and in my parenting mojo. And other times I’m under my rock, wanting some quiet and only crawling out from underneath for essentials like making dinner or cuddling.
Is there a right or wrong here?
I’m not sure there is. The only thing that could be wrong is when you believe you have to have your mojo up all the time.
It’s a fallacy.
No one is happy all the time. No parent is perfect all the time No child is well behaved all of the time.
All the trees are losing their leaves, and not one of them is worried. -Donald Miller
Whether you have a baby, toddler, tween or teen – you being you, recognising how you feel and honouring how you feel, is important.
In his paper, Magic State of Acceptance, Dr Michael Hall shares how accepting your current circumstance is not resignation or giving in, it is welcoming it into mind and life with the purpose of effectively responding to it.
Can you imagine if summer never came? What about if winter lasted forever? Would you appreciate Autumn and Spring?
Honour your parenting seasons.

    Hi Jacob,

    Thanks for reaching out to Douugh! It typically takes 7-10 business days for your card to arrive in the mail once your account has been opened. In the meantime, you have access to a virtual card that shares the same card number information as your physical card! Tap on the three dots located on the bottom right of your screen and then select Card Management. Here, you will find your virtual card information. :)

    If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to email us at

    Thanks and have a good one!

Unfortunately, it's not supported right now. It seems like it's not an actual logistics company but an aggregator that combines other companies for shipping.

I could look into adding support for it if you send all information required to track your shipment on the following website to deliveries@orrs.de : *** (can't promise though).
Welcome to Deliveries Package Tracker Q&A, where you can ask questions and receive answers from other members of the community.

New Hampshire House Approves Bill Allowing Personal Possession of Pot

The bill still needs to clear the Senate.
Federal Government Seeks Cultivators to Grow Thousands of Kilos of Cannabis

The New Hampshire House of Representatives approved a bill on Thursday that would eliminate criminal and civil penalties for possessing and growing small amounts of pot. The legislation, House Bill 1648, was sponsored by Republican Rep. Carol McGuire and a bipartisan group of seven cosponsors. The bill was approved by House lawmakers with a vote of 236 to 112 and will now head to the state Senate for consideration.

Under the measure, adults 21 and older would be permitted to possess up to three-quarters of an ounce of cannabis, five grams of hashish, and marijuana-infused products containing up to 300 milligrams of THC. Adults would also be able to gift the same amounts of cannabis products and up to three immature marijuana plants to another adult. Penalties for cannabis offenses committed by minors would remain unchanged.

The bill would also allow adults to cultivate up to six cannabis plants at home in a secure location not visible to the public. Home growers would also be permitted to possess and process the cannabis produced by their plants, but only at the same location. House Bill 1648 also eliminates prohibitions against cannabis paraphernalia and accessories, allowing adults to possess and make such items and sell them to other adults.

Consuming cannabis in public by adults would still be illegal and carry a fine of up to $100. Cultivation violations, such as maintaining a cannabis garden in public view, would be punishable by a fine of up to $750. Volatile extraction processes would not be legal and would be subject to prosecution as a Class A misdemeanor.

Under current New Hampshire law, possession of up to three-quarters of an ounce of weed is punishable by a $100 civil fine, with the fine increasing for third and subsequent offenses. Cannabis cultivation typically results in up to one year in jail.

Public Opinion Favors Legalization

Two consecutive polls published by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center found that more than two-thirds of the state’s residents support the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. Matt Simon, the New England political director for cannabis policy reform group the Marijuana Policy Project, said in a statement that it’s time for politicians to heed the will of the people.

“Granite Staters overwhelmingly support making cannabis legal for adults’ use, and it’s encouraging to see that a strong majority of the House agrees. Now it’s time for Governor Chris Sununu and the Senate to recognize that New Hampshire should not be an island of prohibition,” Simon said. “Cannabis is objectively less harmful than alcohol, and there is no good reason for the state to continue punishing adults who choose the safer substance.”

If House Bill 1648 is also approved by the state Senate, it will still have to be approved by New Hampshire’s Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, which doesn’t seem likely. Sununu has previously said that he would “absolutely” veto any legalization bill, “regardless of what the language looks like.”

Last year, the state legislature approved a bill that would have allowed medical marijuana patients to grow up to three cannabis plants at home, but Sununu vetoed the measure. The House voted to override the veto, but a similar effort in the Senate was not successful.
