Restoring balance in the body does not work: Supporting its healing does work

Restoring balance in the body does not work: Supporting its healing does work

Restoring balance in the body does not work: Supporting its healing does work

I have loved working with people and learning from them and their bodies over the last 32 years with my work in physiotherapy.

In more recent years I have been wondering how can we progress as medical practitioners and body workers in helping people recover from injury and chronic illness.

The health statistics are alarming when you look at the growing rate of chronic pain and chronic illness and disease, despite more advanced medical and complementary medical treatments.

So I ask myself, what is going on and why is this happening???

This is where I have come to so far:

One part of the answer is that we have created a dependent healthcare system which encourages people to want a ‘quick fix’ from their Doctor or physiotherapist or osteopath etc, rather than the ill/injured person choosing to take more responsibility and true care of themselves.

The other part is that medically trained people are working from their understanding that the body always works itself back to a balance – in medicine it is called ‘homeostasis’. I have worked with so many clients over the years to restore ‘balance’ in their bodies. I now realise that limited my clients’ recovery to just being ‘cured’, not healed, and it limited me in my way of understanding and treating their bodies.

There is a very different approach to treating someone if you come from helping them to be cured as opposed to assisting them in their healing.

Over the last 17 years the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have helped me reconnect to the more expansive understanding of what true healing is for our beings and our bodies.

So I now ask myself, how would our healthcare system be if all practitioners worked to help clients heal and not be so symptom focussed?

To understand what healing is, we need to consider the big missing link in medicine’s approach to treatment and that is, the energetics of the body.

We talk about it in day-to-day language as “I don’t have much energy today”, or ‘I don’t have the energy for that” etc.

Modern medicine knows energy is used and produced in all cell activities in the body, but it doesn’t take it to the next level of understanding, of the energy moving through the being and the body. Ancient medicine did – it was called esoteric medicine and particularly the Greek physicians knew that there was energy behind all activities in the body and that, as a physician, you needed to consider the being and body as a whole being impulsed from its soul energy, and not just focus on the ill part.

Plato, a well-known ancient Greek philosopher and physician, stated “for the part can never be well unless the whole is well”: this is a truth that has been mostly ignored by modern medicine.

Today I don’t look to restore balance in my client’s body – that is limiting them to just improving their function by trying to cure their symptoms. I support them to heal, which brings in the understanding and acceptance that we are so much more than our physical bodies. All I do is assist the healing process, which gives the person/being and body space to do what it is divinely designed to do. Our bodies are divinely designed to help us reconnect to the energetic fact that we are so much more than our physical form and that the body can heal at all levels; emotionally, physically and energetically. We can assist our own healing if we choose to understand that how we are living and what we are choosing impacts on our body.

I have healed myself and my body hugely by living with respect and appreciation that I come from a far greater place than just being in a body on Earth. Many of my clients have also healed themselves to a great degree in the same way, by being more self-caring and self-loving in all that they do. The bigger picture here is that everything we say and do affects not only our own bodies, it has an energetic ripple effect on all others around us too.

As an example, in the past I know if I have been frustrated, that causes tension in my body, so when I treat a client from that space, I don’t feel clearly what treatment they need at the time and my touch is not as tender and caring.

I now live to the best of my ability in a steady calm way, doing everything more gently and smoothly, deeply caring for myself, which helps me be that way with all others.

Now my treatments of Sacred Esoteric Massage, Healing and Connective Tissue Therapy, my postural education and connective tissue exercises are gently supporting clients to heal, rather than imposing techniques on them to achieve a ‘balance’.

I am very sure that our health care system would be far more beneficial to people, and less costly, if we as practitioners responsibly assisted people’s healing while they were also choosing to take more responsibility for the way they treated themselves and their bodies.

In turn our struggling health system would benefit exponentially by our clients having a complete healing experience rather than the band-aid balancing acts we offer today with cures. These cures are a short-term relief that see the clients return time and again as multiple symptoms arise in their bodies from their poor choices and ill way of living.

Puma Evospeed 1 SL - Check out the ultralightweight boot here

Puma know how to put together a lightweight boot, but just to further prove their technological prowess, they have made their already light boot even lighter and here it is, EvoSpeed 1 SL. It weighs an astounding 154 grams and now it has also landed in the already very popular Red/Blue/White colourway.

Pumas speed boots have been very successful in the last couple of years and this is very much illustrated by the impressive line-up of players, who all apply their trade in their EvoSpeed-collection. Radamel Falcao, Sergio Agüero and Olivier Giroud is just a small handful of the superstars, who all prefer the Puma lightweight, but we will probably not see any of them in the formerly mentioned Puma EvoSpeed 1 SL, even though that would be some sight to behold.

The 154 gram Puma EvoSpeed 1 SL comes in the same colourway as its regular namesake, which we looked at earlier in the week and that is a choice you definitely can't fault Puma. It looks incredibly sharp in the red, white and blue colourway, but unlike the regular Evospeed 1, the SL-model has a little more shine to it, which adds some edge to the already sharp outfit.

You can already now pre-order the Puma EvoSpeed 1 SL Red/Blue/White here with an expected delivery in the beginning of may  just 256

It is hard to miss that the upper has been perforated and even though this might have its downsides, when playing in the rain, it works wonders for the weight. 154 grams tells its own story about the Puma Evospeed 1 SL, because it really is almost unfathomable, how light it is. It actually makes it the lightest boot on sale right now.

The upper on the Puma Evospeed 1 SL is made from a Japanese microfibre, which straight out the box is soft and flexible. On top of that it is naturally also unbelievably thin and you can therefore expect an absurdly good touch on the ball. You should however not expect very much protection from knocks and kicks, so if this is something you weight highly, we recommend that you look into a pair of Metasox.

Puma EvoSpeed 1 SL is the third SuperLight-variation, the German brand has produced and once again they manage to move the boot in the right direction. Puma keep a hold of the things that really work and then refine the things that need it. A good example of this is the perforation of the upper, like we also saw on the predecessor, Puma v1.11 SL; now it is back, new and improved, to increase the friction between ball and boot.

Both the stud-configuration and the outsole is the same as the one used on the all time classic v1.11 SL and this only a positive thing, as both were great success. The Pebax-outsole is not just incredibly light, but also very flexible around the front foot. This will also help your acceleration  and to make sure you take full advantage of all your power when you kick off from the ground, there has been used carbonfibre to reinforce the sole.

You can already now pre-order the Puma EvoSpeed 1 SL Red/Blue/White here with an expected delivery in the beginning of may  just 256

It is hard to find a better alternative for spring, than the Puma Evospeed 1 SL Red/Blue/White. 154 grams of finely tuned superboot dressed to impress, in an elegant colourway. Is it something you might like? Share your opinion of the boot in the comment-section down below.

Thank you, Robin McClellan, for championing our students!

United WE READ is grateful for the many educators, leaders, and community members who pour into our students each and every day. On this #InternationalWomensDay, we wanted to give a special shout-out to longtime UWR Leadership Team member and champion for students, Dr. Robin McClellan of Sullivan County Department of Education. Recently, Dr. McClellan has been leading the district through a significant investment into the reading curriculum known as CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts). Through this transition, our students are already showing significant gains! A few highlights:

  • Just from fall 2018 to winter 2019, students with “at-risk” levels of reading proficiency have fallen from 37.8% to 29.9%!
  • That means 351 fewer 1st through 5th graders are considered at-risk in their reading skills!

We can’t wait to see more from Dr. McClellan, Sullivan County Department of Education, and the CKLA curriculum renaissance! To learn more about her work, check out these websites and articles where she has contributed or been featured:

“We Have A National Reading Crisis” in Education Week –By Jaren Myracle, Brian Kingsley, & Robin McClellan

“The Outcomes Stories We Should Be Talking About” on

“Sullivan’s Elementary Students Show ‘Historic’ Reading Improvements” in the Bristol Herald Courier

“Sullivan County Department of Education Announces Promising Academic Progress in Elementary Reading” on

Thank you, Dr. McClellan for engaging,  empowering, and equipping, all children, families, and our Greater Kingsport community with tools and strategies that build a literacy-rich culture, and a pathway to lifelong success!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

Menopause in the workplace: 5 companies supporting employees

The menopause can cause many unpleasant, bothersome symptoms.

Allie Nawrat

Credit: Julie via Twenty20.

Some of the symptoms make productive work impossible for sufferers. Unleash Your People

  • Symptoms of menopause, and the lack of focused support in managing them, is forcing many women to leave the workforce.
  • However, the tide is changing and the taboo around discussing the menopause, particularly in the workplace, is breaking.
  • This is because a few employers, primarily in the UK, are focused on implementing specific menopause policies and guidance to support female employees going through the transition.

The NHS website defines menopause as “when a woman stops having periods and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally”. It is a natural part of aging and usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55; the average age for women in the UK reaching menopause is 51.

Menopause is accompanied by a range of symptoms, some of which can be very severe, can impact individuals’ day to day lives, and last for around four years. Examples include hot flushes, night sweats, reduced libido, anxiety, and insomnia.

Menopause and the workplace

According to a 2017 UK government report on menopause, menopausal women are the fastest-growing demographic in the workforce – one-third of the workforce is over 50 – and nearly eight in 10 women going through menopause are in work.

Research by the UK’s Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) found that three in five working women between 45 and 55 experiencing menopausal symptoms say their work is impacted.

In addition, 65% of more than 1,400 women surveyed by YouGov for CIPD said they struggled to concentrate, 58% said they experienced more stress, and 52% felt less patient with clients and colleagues.

Further to this, 30% of women said they had taken sick leave because of their symptoms – with 25% of those not being honest with their line manager. This was primarily because due to privacy concerns, embarrassment, and feeling their manager would be unsupportive.

Ultimately, these productivity losses can cost more than $150 billion a year, Frost & Sullivan told Bloomberg. This could rise to $810 billion if you take into account other healthcare costs.

Research by Bupa and CIPD in 2019 also found that almost a million women in the UK left their job in the last year because of menopausal symptoms.

It is clear that it is in an employer’s interest to break the taboo around menopause – in the same way that companies are supporting employees’ mental wellbeing and offering miscarriage leave – by creating a safe space and developing policies that support employees through this natural process.

Ignoring the needs of these women is not only ageist, it is bad business; it puts companies at risk of losing out on an important pool of experienced and talented employees.

Here are five examples of employers who are ahead of the curve when it comes to creating supportive workplaces for women going through menopause, even though there is no legal requirement to do so.

On International Women’s Day 2021, telecommunications giant Vodafone announced its commitment to support employees through menopause. This commitment applies across all of the company’s markets in Europe and Africa.

Vodafone chief human resources offier Leanne Wood noted: “Vodafone’s global commitment to menopause underscores our drive for a more inclusive culture and our desire for women to see Vodafone as the place to be for their career through all stages of their life.

“With menopause impacting women for a significant period of their working life, it’s important to us that our environment supports and normalises these life stages by openly talking about and supporting menopause in the workplace.”

The company estimates that menopause affects 15% of its 100,000 employees, and it has decided to support them through a range of different measures.

As well as introducing training and awareness programs about menopause for all employees, Vodafone is offering them extra support around sick leave, medical treatment, and flexible working.

Other programs include 16 weeks of parental leave and a phased return to work for an additional six months, a ReConnect program that aims to attract talented women back into the workforce after they leave to raise a family, and well as a policy that supports employees at risk or experiencing domestic violence and abuse.

Multinational drinks company Diageo, which owns brands like Guinness, Baileys, Smirnoff, and Captain Morgan, also announced new menopause guidelines in March 2021.

The aim of the guidance is to raise awareness and understanding of the taboo subject of menopause, as well as provide resources to employees and line managers dealing with menopause, both directly and indirectly in their personal lives.

As a result, employees will have access to counselling and mindfulness sessions as part of Diageo’s employee assistance programs, as well as increased workplace flexibility around working hours and sick leave.

Talking about the news, Diageo global talent director Louise Prashad said:

“We are committed to creating a fully inclusive and diverse workforce and as part of this to championing open and empowering conversations, particularly in subjects that can often be difficult or taboo.

“With today’s launch of Diageo’s Menopause guidelines we are actively encouraging all of our employees to build their understanding of how the menopause impacts women in the workplace and in our personal lives, as well as providing strengthened support and flexibility during what many women can find a challenging time in their professional careers.”

Initially this policy has only been launched across the UK, US, Canada and Ireland – however, more countries are to follow later this year.

World Menopause Day occurs on 18 October every year and in 2020 UK-based insurer Aviva seized the moment to introduce a new menopause awareness campaign for its employees in the UK.

The campaign included seminars aiming to help raise awareness and support those experiencing menopause – and their line managers – as well as introducing a service called Peppy as part of its benefits offering.

Peppy will be available to all of Aviva’s UK employees and will offer free 45-minute one-to-one phone consultations and a personalized live chat with menopause specialists and experts to provide reassurance around symptoms.

This app fits squarely in the femtech sector, but since launching in 2018 Peppy is now leading the way in so-called menotech.

Talking about the company’s new menopause commitments, Aviva’s chief people office Danny Harmer said: “Most people are familiar with the common, and sadly sometimes still ridiculed, physical symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes and night sweats.

“Less well known are the mental health aspects, including anxiety and difficulty sleeping, which can have a massive impact on performance and self-confidence.

“So it’s no wonder that one in four women consider leaving work because of menopause – a loss of talent that businesses can prevent.

“Menopause need not be a barrier to a continued successful career.

“An open and empathetic culture, with proper training available for leaders, access to expert advice for individuals and supportive policies like flexible working, will help us better support our people, their partners and families during every stage of their lives.”

Another employer that has introduced Peppy as part of its benefits offering is the British branch of Spanish bank Santander.

This came in 2020, a year after the bank updated its communications with facts about menopause and shared sources of support with employees. This fits into Santander UK’s view that menopause isn’t just a women’s issue, it is a workplace issue.

Culture and employee value proposition lead for Santander UK Theresa Winters told Employee Benefits: “We also held menopause awareness sessions for colleagues and managers, with a clear message that menopause is a topic that impacts any person of any gender or age.

“This awareness phase was crucial so that we created the right environment, in which people could talk openly about their experiences of menopause and seek help if they needed to.”

Winters explains that Peppy takes away the burden of individuals having to waiting weeks or months for a GP appointment, as well as enabling employees to perform at work to the best of their ability.

Although Peppy was initially piloted for only 130 employees, the results were astonishing. Winters said that after four weeks, “75% of participants felt their menopause symptoms were less bothersome, and 90% of participants said they felt more positive about Santander as an employer.”

Now the app has been made available to available to all employees – more than 500 have registered to date – and has contributed to Santander UK being named among the Times top 50 employers for women in 2021.

UK-based TV network Channel 4 is very forward thinking with regards to employee wellbeing.

Not only is the network one of the few employers to offer bereavement leave for individuals and families dealing with pregnancy loss, it’s leading the way with its menopause policy.

Introduced in 2019 and updated in 2020, Channel 4’s policy aims to support employees experiencing the unpleasant symptoms of menopause, as well as provide guidance to line managers.

Employees at Channel 4 now have the option to access desk fans or a quiet or cool room, as well as the use of the Babylon app through their Bupa benefit, more paid sick leave, and a counseling service. Menopausal women will also have more flexible working options, including more breaks, earlier start times and finish times to avoid rush hour traveling, being allowed to have their camera off during Teams calls, and the ability to request reduced working hours on a temporary basis.

According to an internal survey, 10% of female employees have used (or plan to use) the policy – only 13% of Channel 4 staff are women aged over 45.

Channel 4 CEO Alex Mahon commented: “We’re really proud to have had so many conversations around menopause this year at Channel 4 and confront a subject that remains ridiculously taboo in the workplace.

“Our dedicated policy has provided Channel 4’s employees – both our women facing the menopause and all our managers – with vital tools and support.

“This is a time when even more than ever we need to respect the concerns and constraints of our staff so I encourage all companies to look at this.

“By giving away our policy to everyone we hope to make it even easier for other companies to benefit from the retention of expert women in their industries.”

The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS)

UNOPS and UK Aid launch UNOPS Possibilities (UP) Forum in Myanmar

The fourth edition of the UP Forum kicked off in Yangon, in partnership with the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID).

Part of UNOPS efforts to further support sustainable procurement, the two-day event provided local micro, small- and medium-sized enterprises in Myanmar with ideas and tools to encourage their success.

“Micro, small- and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of our country’s development – they comprise 99 percent of all enterprises,” said Daw Aye Aye Win, Director General, Central Department of Small and Medium Enterprises Development, Myanmar’s Ministry of Industry.

"UNOPS is committed to supporting small and medium enterprises in Myanmar, especially women- and youth-owned businesses, by inspiring and building the capacity of entrepreneurs, to encourage social and economic development," said Patricia Moser, UNOPS Director of Procurement.

“Women-owned and youth-owned businesses are growing in Myanmar and this event greatly supports the government's drive for procurement reform, which will benefit these small and growing businesses,” said Andrew Kirkwood, UNOPS Myanmar Country Director.

Around 150 people attended the event. Participants learned key skills and resources to enhance their success, as well as how to access valuable business opportunities and register as a supplier with UNOPS and DFID.

“We want participants to gain deeper insight into how they can engage with us,” said Gail Marzetti, Head of DFID in Myanmar.

Local successful entrepreneurs and suppliers also met with participants and shared their experiences.

“The UP Forum helped me to learn more about the requirements and procedures to work with UNOPS,” said Sabae Latt, Operation Director, Central Hotel Yangon. “It also provided the opportunity for me to meet and connect with other suppliers from different industries.”

UNOPS is the largest UN agency in Myanmar, spending around $200 million last year of public funds, much of it through procurement.

Lullwater Poster Nirvana Style 2

For more than a decade, alt rockers Lullwater have been blazing their way to the top of the industry thanks to their gritty, Southern-infused sound and straight-up, raw performances.

Formed in 2007 in Athens, GA, the foursome was born from the indelible mark that the godfathers of grunge left on music. The convergence of this inspiration, mixed with a healthy helping of swagger, defines this critically acclaimed alternative rock band.

The group released its debut, self-titled album in 2012 to solid reviews and were immediately invited to join some of the biggest tours that same year, as well as had the single “Albatross” featured on Sirius XM Octane Radio. Since that time, Lullwater has spent the majority of their career on the road sharing the stage with such A-list acts as Candlebox, Theory of a Deadman, Flyleaf, Passafire, Amaranthe, Butcher Babies, and more. The band released their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Revival, in 2015, followed by a live EP, The Seattle Sessions, in 2017.

Voodoo, their latest effort and arguably their best work to date, was recorded at the end of 2017 in New Orleans at Marigny Studios by Swedish producer and engineer Jakob Herrmann, co-produced/engineered by Justin Davis, and mixed by Jakob Herrmann at top floor studios, is scheduled for a Winter 2018 release; this record promises an even bigger, more explosive sound that will shake you to your core.

Rose Heilbron - 100 Years of Women in Law

A woman of many firsts, Rose is our first inspirational woman in law. A truly amazing woman that has paved the way for women in law notably female barristers and judges. Rose achieved an extraordinary amount throughout her career and is someone we can all admire and look up to for those achievements. Below you will find a brief timeline of everything she achieved and although brief it’s very easy to see the impact that she has had on the path for modern women in law.

In 1935 Rose was one of the first two women to gain a first class degree in law from Liverpool University.

In 1936 Rose became the first woman to be awarded a scholarship at Gray’s Inn.

In 1939 Rose was called to the bar.

In 1949 Rose and Helena Normanton became the first women appointed King’s Counsel at the English Bar (she was only 34).

In 1950 she became the first woman to lead an English murder case which led to the Daily Mirror naming her ‘Woman of the Year’.

In 1956 she became the first appointed female recorder.

In 1972 she became the first woman judge to sit at the Old Bailey.

In 1973 she became leader of the northern circuit.

In 1974 she became the second woman High Court Judge.

In 1985 she became the first woman treasurer at Gray’s Inn.

For anyone wanting to find out more, below we have attached a short video with her daughter Hilary Heilbron QC discussing Rose!

Also, the information used has been gathered from the amazing First 100 Years Project. The First 100 Years is a project supported by the Law Society, Bar Council and CILEx, charting the journey of women in law since 1919.

Islamic State claims deadly attack on Coptic Christians in Egypt

Doug Stanglin
Coptic Christians shout slogans after the funeral service of some of the victims of a bus attack, at Abu Garnous Cathedral in Minya, Egypt,  May 26, 2017.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack that killed 29 Coptic Christian pilgrims traveling on a bus south of Cairo.

The militant-linked Amaq News Agency, carried the claim, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based group that tracks jihadist organizations and their online activities.

Masked gunmen driving SUVs opened fire Friday on the caravan of Coptic Christians heading for the monastery of St. Samuel the Confessor in the Minya governorate about 130 miles south of Cairo.

The attack came days after the Islamic State claimed responsibility for a bombing in Manchester, England, that left 22 people dead, one as young as 8 years old.

Arab TV stations showed images of a bus riddled with bullet holes, with many of its windows shattered and bloodstains on the seats. Bodies lay on the ground, covered with black plastic sheets. Children could be heard screaming hysterically in the background.

The victims ranged in age from children to over 60, the bishop of Minya told the privately owned TV Channel DMC. The dead included two girls, ages 2 and 4, according to local officials. At least 23 people were injured.

Relatives mourn over a coffin during the funeral of victims killed in an attack at the Monastery of St Samuel the Confessor, in Minya Province, central Egypt, May 26, 2017.

In response, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said late Friday that Egyptian jets carried out airstrikes on a bases in Libya purportedly used by militants who carried out the killings.

The Egyptian armed forces also released a short video that said the strikes hit terrorist gatherings in Libya "after confirming their involvement in planning and committing the terrorist attack in Minya governorate on Friday," according to Ahram Online.

The attack took place on the eve of the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and is the latest in a series of deadly hits on Egypt’s Christians following a pair of suicide bombings on Palm Sunday. Coptic Christians make up about 10% of Egypt's population of 92 million.

On April 9, bombers attacked St. George's Cathedral in Tanta, killing 29 people, and St. Mark's Cathedral in Alexandria, killing 18.

Last month, Pope Francis visited Egypt in part to show his support for Christians living in the Muslim majority Arab nation who have been increasingly targeted by Islamic militants.

The Islamic State, in turn, vowed to increase its attacks on Christians and urged Muslims to avoid Christian gatherings and western embassies.

What Is Your Name In Spanish In Google Translate?

(Last Updated On: February 23, 2021)

The internet has become a friendly place for all of us. It not only connects us with our friends and family members but also keeps us up to date about the latest happenings around the world. It can also provide us with solutions to everyday problems. If a device isn’t working, you can turn to the internet to look for a fix. You can also get in touch with experts through the internet and ask for their assistance directly. The internet also helps us with language problems. You can look up what is your name in Spanish in Google Translate and communicate with someone from Spain or the Americas easily.

name google translate
your name spanish google

The Spanish Language:

Spanish is one of the daughter tongues of Latin. It originated in the Iberian Peninsula. Today, it is the official language of more than twenty countries. There are nearly 600 million Spanish speakers in the world. It is also one of the most popular tongues in the United States. Due to its popularity in the world, Spanish is also a common tongue on the internet. You can easily find blogs, websites, and applications written in Spanish. But not every article on blog sites can be written in Spanish, and that’s where translation services come in.

Both businesses and individuals need linguistic assistance to connect with their target audience. When it comes to individuals, the target could just be a person. But when it comes to companies, it is often the population of a city or country. With the help of Spanish translations, companies can connect with foreign audiences easily. But they have to get professional translation because errors can make a bad first impression on the audience. Everyone should do their research before hiring an agency to ensure the accuracy of translations.

What is Your Name in Spanish in Google Translate?

You can’t form a connection with someone without communication. And the first step in communication is to learn the name of the other person. If you call someone by name, you will make them feel welcomed, and they will be able to communicate with you easily. However, if you don’t know the language of the person you want to communicate with, you wouldn’t know how to ask their name. This is where Google Translate and neural machine translation comes in. With the help of machines, you can communicate with someone, even if there is a linguistic barrier between the two of you.

You can get the translation of simple sentences with the click of a button these days. The apps can also display the translation so users can make sure it is correct. This reduces the chances of a translation error and ensures healthy communication between people. People can also learn simple Spanish or English phrases with the help of modern apps. They can get accurate translations of words and phrases in different tongues, only thanks to the internet.

If you have just met a Spanish speaker and you want to ask their name, you can do so with the help of an app. For instance, you can ask questions like what is your name in Spanish in Google Translate from your phone and get the answer within seconds. There are also blogs and sites that provide linguistic assistance to people. But it is important to verify their results before using them in your everyday lives. Not every site will be able to provide you with accurate results. They might also not be able to help you with particular language pairs.

According to Google Translate, you use the phrase “cuál es tu nombre?” to ask someone their name in Spanish. The neural machine translation network offers translations that are common in everyday use. It keeps slang words and everyday phrases into consideration when translating something. It will always provide you with the kind of results that will be helpful in real-life conversations.

google translate spanish
google spanish name

What Can I Use Instead of Google Translate?

A lot of times, people forget that machines are not a hundred percent accurate when it comes to translations. They can ignore the cultural features of languages and focus on literal translations. Another reason why websites and apps are not always accurate with language translation is that they don’t keep the context into account. It is also not possible for apps and websites to handle all formats. If you want to ensure the accuracy of translation, you will have to look at other options. You must hire an agency that provides high-quality human translation to all of its clients.

There are a lot of companies in the translation industry, but not all of them can offer you the best content. You will have to compare their performances to find out which one you should trust. The ability of an agency to deliver accurate results every time depends on the kind of team it has. If they have native language experts on their team, they will be able to deliver the best results. Before hiring an agency, you should also check their prices and turnaround times. Their response to your query alone can tell you a lot about them.

There are both freelancers and agencies in the field, but not all of them follow the same program and offer the same products. If you want to get your language issues resolved in the best way possible, then you should hire an agency that knows how to handle every translation. If they use translation tools, then their work quality will be consistent, and your project will be completed before the deadline.

Who Can Translate Blogs and Social Media Campaigns?

There are different types of services that you can get from a translation company. But only the specialists of a field can help you with particular issues. For instance, not everyone can understand technical language or campaign websites. A certified translator may not know how to translate a blog. You can only get the right output if you choose the right specialist. A certified translator can carry out an official translation and provide you with their signed statement, but they cannot handle a technical translation.

Many people think that they can get linguistic assistance from Google, but if you enter paragraphs on the site, you will end up with an incorrect translation. Google has seen a lot of improvements lately, but it is still not ready to handle complicated source text. Google Translate is only helpful with common words and phrases. It is also worth mentioning that it can only help you with foreign languages that are popular in Europe and the US. There is a high chance that it will fail to provide you with the right results if you need help with Arabic or Hindi.

If you want to get a campaign translation free of mistakes, then you should hire a reliable agency. They will have multiple experts on their team and will be able to provide you with all kinds of linguistic solutions. You can get everything from your blog to your Google Sheets translated from them. You won’t have to worry about the format either. A professional agency can handle everything from Google Docs to pictures and PDFs to Word files. They will also provide you the translation in the format of your choice. They will use cutting-edge tools and put in their effort to handle all the projects in the best way possible. So, do your research and find a good agency today for your translation needs.

Take a moment to remember JFK

Memorable broadcasts survive for generations because they overflow with emotions.

I Love Lucy evoked laughter. Touched by an Angel brought tears. And after Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack specials triggered reflection.

With the 40th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination Saturday, millions of people will find themselves glued to images on their televisions of the Nov. 22, 1963, shootings in Dallas Some, old enough to remember where they were that day, will weep at reminders of a legendary American president’s life cut short. The republishing and rebroadcast of the black and white photographs and shaky camera shots of that infamous day in downtown Dallas, will even affect those born during the disposable diaper era.

Sitting inside a classroom on campus Tuesday, the anniversary of Kennedy’s tour of Tampa before heading to Dallas, my professor played streaming audio of a Dallas radio station’s broadcast as news unfolded of an assassination attempt.

Most of the classroom sat in silence as the nearly 90-minute broadcast played. We listened as reporters in Dallas scrambled for information. Rumors spread about how many gunmen were involved, the location of the shooter and whether the president had indeed been killed.

Listening to the broadcast, it’s hard to imagine what went through the minds of the thousands of people gathered downtown Tampa to shake Kennedy’s hand. They had come to see America’s handsome leader. They wanted to shake his hand. To catch of glimpse of the commander in chief as he rolled through the streets in his motorcade was to be a special moment of joy people would take with them to their graves. Instead, in an instant, the images they were left to live with turned into a nightmare. I shuddered at the cracking voice of the radio announcer when at last, he regretfully announced, “The president is dead.”

Throughout this nation’s history, many great contributors to our culture have died before they finished their work. Some were taken at the hand of violence like President Kennedy and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Others, like Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez, who pushed social awareness about sex with female singing group TLC, lost their lives by tragic accident. Lopez died in an automobile accident.

Though we mourn these famous figures, the best thing about our aching hearts is that they keep on beating. People may die, but their words live on.

During his Jan. 20, 1961, inaugural speech, Kennedy made the famous remark, “And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”

Most of us came to know that quote without knowing the speaker. It didn’t matter. It was a call to action much like Dr. King’s words and TLC’s lyrics.

Spend an hour watching one of several Kennedy specials that will air throughout the weekend. Pick up a copy of the newspaper and read accounts of people who remember shaking Kennedy’s hand moments before the shooting. Use this anniversary as a reason to search history books and Internet sites for the philosophies and opinions of JFK that made him famous, and ask yourself how your world has changed because he lived.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy: The youngest man elected president; the youngest to die. This week in history, take time to remember his legacy.

Negativity in the air

Like many Americans, I traveled by plane this Christmas break to spend the holidays with my family.

I was sitting at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, patiently awaiting my departure back to Tampa. The banner headline in the Chicago Tribune that morning was: “CODE ORANGE: Officials Prepare for Threats.” The monotone voice of an unknown gentleman could be heard overhead calmly warning travelers of the heightened alert and to keep an eye open for suspicious activity.

As one of the nation’s busiest airports, the alert meant increased security, longer lines and more delays.

I sat there acting as normal as I could even though I was as nervous as anyone of the other people sitting around me. Even before Sept. 11, airports were nerve-wracking places for many people.

Recently, close to a dozen planes from around the world have been rerouted, delayed, canceled or forced to turn around because of an increase in suspicious intelligence. Armed federal air marshals have been training since Sept. 11 to accompany passengers incognito.

But is it not the case that for all of these reasons we are nervous, safer measures have been taken to prevent another 9/11?

I don’t agree with many of the president’s policies, nor am I close to being a registered Republican. I believe that much of the criticism that surrounds Bush’s homeland security policies are warranted, including a lack of money going to local law enforcement and the shady security around our nation’s cargo planes and major sea ports.

But I feel a lot safer flying today then I did just months after 9/11 when I flew to Washington D.C.

And because many of us — or if statistics are true, not many of us — are going to be voting in 10 months, we are left to figure out the ramifications of all of this politically.

Howard Dean recently quipped that we were no safer today then before Saddam Hussein was captured. Men and women are dying in Iraq, and I believe new terrorists could very well have sprouted because of the war, but have we not made strides in this country?

Democrats trying to indoctrinate voters with their plans for the future can’t be taken seriously if no positive attribution is given to policies of the past.

Much like arguments of all of the candidates for president, negativity is in the air. And it is at this time of increased threats that I ask myself where all this negativity in my own party is taking us?

We are a nation at high alert, at war, both militarily and culturally. We are polarized on every major issue from the war in Iraq to gay marriage.

I will be nervous when traveling because we have been forced to live in that world, but I will not believe that we are less safe.

In November, I plan to vote Democratic because, at its core, the party’s beliefs are aligned with my own.

I can only hope that come election day, the only negativity in the air will be passengers aboard Spirit Airlines who aren’t given in-house meals.

2018 U.S. MNT vs. Italy
2018 U.S. MNT vs. Italy

Young MNT Surrenders Stoppage Time Goal in 1-0 Loss to Italy

Youngest Modern Era MNT Lineup Falls Narrowly to Four-Time World Cup Champs; Ethan Horvath Made Five Saves to Earn Budweiser Man of the Match Honors; Christian Pulisic Becomes Youngest Player to Captain MNT

GENK, Belgium (Nov. 20, 2018) — Fielding the youngest lineup in the team’s modern era, the U.S. Men’s National Team battled hard, but a strike from Matteo Politano deep in second-half stoppage time saw the U.S. fall 1-0 to Italy at Luminus Arena in Genk, Belgium.

Having previously started the two youngest MNT lineups earlier this year, head coach Dave Sarachan deployed a starting XI with an average age of 22 years, 71 days. He also made history by selecting the youngest captain in modern era (1990-present), handing 20-year-old Christian Pulisic the armband for the very first time.

But while the USA showed some positive moments, the young side ceded much of the possession to Italy during the first half. In control through much of the match, the Azzurri took multiple looks at the U.S. goal, but was thwarted time and again thanks to a heroic effort from goalkeeper Ethan Horvath.

Taking the field in Belgium where he suits up for Club Brugge, the 23-year-old Horvath was called into action in the third minute, turning away a point-blank attempt from Federico Chiesa. He followed it up with another brave stop on Italy captain Leonardo Bonucci in the 18th minute, pushed a belted effort from Domenico Berardi over the bar in the 39thand parried a free kick from Marco Verratti in the 44th to keep thing scoreless at the break.

Horvath was again called into action just before the hour-mark but did brilliantly to thwart a one-on-one attempt from Kevin Lasagna in the 59th minute.

Gaining confidence to push forward, the USA nearly pulled ahead in the 64th minute as Kellyn Acosta’s free kick from the right picked out Walker Zimmerman at the back post, but his headed effort was pushed out for a corner kick by Salvatore Sirigu. Just as that chance came, Horvath was called on again to make perhaps his best save of the night, stretching full out to push Vincenzo Grifo’s effort out for a corner kick in the 70th minute.

Becoming the 20th player to debut for the MNT in 2018, substitute Romain Gall tested Sirigu in the 90th minute, unleashing a low blast that forced the Italy ‘keeper to push the ball out for a corner kick.

Just as it looked like the USA would earn a hard-nosed draw, Italy broke through when Roberto Giagliardini combined with Politano in the box. With the defense collapsing around him, the substitute poked his effort past Horvath to give Italy the 1-0 victory in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time.

Up Next: Earlier Tuesday, the MNT announced it would play regional foe Costa Rica on Saturday, Feb. 2 at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, Calif. The match will serve as one of two domestic matches to begin 2019. Kickoff time and the MNT’s further schedule for next year will be announced at a later date.

Goal Scoring Rundown:
ITA – Matteo Politano (Roberto Gagliardini), 90+4th minute: The USA looked like it would take a 0-0 draw home, but Italy continued to press and broke through as Gagliardini fed Politano into the box where he finished past Horvath from close range. ITA 1, USA 0 FINAL.

Key Save and Defensive Plays:
USA – Ethan Horvath, 3rd minute: Federico Chiesa ran onto a long ball over the top and strolled into the box on the right. Taking an additional touch, the Italy striker was thwarted as Horvath came off his line to make a save with his right.

USA – Cameron Carter-Vickers, 16th minute: Streaking into the box on the left, Domenico Berardi did well to get into the box and looked to get a shot off before Carter-Vickers came through to deny the attempt and put it out for a corner kick.

USA – Ethan Horvath, 18th minute: Italy gained another dangerous opportunity as Emerson was fouled about 30 yards from goal on the left. Stefano Sensi swung in a free kick, finding Leonardo Bonucci alone in the area, but his shot from the penalty spot was thwarted as Horvath came off his line to make a point-blank save.

USA - Ethan Horvath, 39th minute: After Italy moved the ball around outside the area, Berardi took it on his left foot and unleashed a swerving effort that Horvath pushed over the bar for a corner kick.

USA – Ethan Horvath, 44th minute: Reggie Cannon upended Emerson and Italy earned another dangerous opportunity to the left of the USA goal. Marco Verratti swung in a low ball that threaded through the USA penalty box, but Horvath’s foot work was superb and kept the ball off the goal line before it was cleared.

USA – Ethan Horvath, 59th minute: While the USA showed more in the attacking third early in the second half, it still allowed Italy openings on the counter attack. The Azzurri caught the MNT out just before the hour mark when Kevin Lasagna got on the end of a ball and leapt past Walker Zimmerman only to see Horvath powerfully charge off his line to deny the attempt.

ITA – Salvatore Sirigu, 64th minute: The USA nearly pulled ahead just after the hour mark. Kellyn Acosta’s free kick from the right swung through to the back post where Walker Zimmerman’s snap header was kept out when Sirigu dramatically pushed the ball over the bar for a corner kick.

USA – Ethan Horvath, 70th minute: Stefano Sensi played a square pass to Vincenco Grifo who let rip an effort destined for the top right corner, but Horvath used all of his 6-4 frame to stretch at full extension and push the ball out for a corner kick.

ITA – Salvatore Sirigu, 90th minute: The USA found one final chance, as substitute Romain Gall pushed forward through the midfield. Taking the space given to him, Gall let loose on a low blast that Sirigu dove to his left to push out for a corner kick.

Additional Notes:

  • Goalkeeper Ethan Horvath made five saves to earn Budweiser Man of the Match honors.
  • With nine of 11 starters 23 years old or younger, the average age of the USA XI came in at 22 years, 71 days, besting the MNT’s previous modern era-record of 22 years, 160 days which came on May 28, 2018 vs. Bolivia.
  • Five of 11 starters were also age-eligible for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo: Tyler Adams, Reggie Cannon, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Christian Pulisic and Josh Sargent
  • At 20 years, 71 days, Christian Pulisic became the youngest MNT captain of the modern era (1990-present), beating Landon Donovan who first captained the MNT at 22 years, 220 days in a World Cup Qualifier on Oct. 9, 2004 at El Salvador.
  • Entering the match in the 83rd minute, Romain Gall became the 20th player to debut for the MNT in 2018 and 23rd overall under head coach Dave Sarachan. The 20 debuts in 2018 ties 2007 for the second most in the MNT’s modern era history, sitting just one back of the record of 21 in 1992.
  • The MNT moves to 1-8-3 all-time against Italy.
  • With the MNT dressing 20 players, John Brooks, Jonathan Klinsmann and DeAndre Yedlin were healthy scratches from tonight’s match.

2019 General Assembly Report from Allies for Racial Equity

07/26/2019 7:07 PM | Anonymous

Below is the full report for ARE’s engagement at General Assembly 2019 in Spokane. The audio recording and outline from our July 1, 2019 debrief includes some information and context not contained in this written version. This written report and the recording are intended to augment one another.

This was the largest post-GA debrief call we had ever hosted, due in part to concerns about a book that was distributed at GA and the many conversations that resulted. We made time toward the end of our call to process in small breakout groups.

It’s impossible to experience everything that GA has to offer, and many of us invariably miss one or more sessions. Video recordings of full community programming are available at the UUA website for folks who are still “catching up” or who want to review some of the amazing events over the summer.

Last year’s ARE 2018 GA Report and the Commission on Institutional Change General Assembly 2019 Report also can provide additional context.

Beginning with Gratitude

We have so much gratitude to share! We wouldn’t have been able to do even half of what we did this year without all of our amazing volunteers. So much appreciation—and more than a few massive shout-outs—go to everyone who helped with planning, organizing, chaplaincy, logistics, booth staffing, offsite support, workshop facilitation, and all the incredible collaboration—especially the elephant wrangling, y’all ROCK!

We also want to thank all who contributed to our fundraisers to support our doubling down at GA again! Between direct donations and money given on facebook, we raised over $2,000 to cover much of the additional cost of expanding our outreach and helping UU Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) accountability partners to offset their GA expenses also. If you’d like to support our continuing efforts, please visit www.uuare.org/support.

Most importantly, this year, on the 50th anniversary of the Black Empowerment Controversy (aka the White Entitlement Fit), which came to a head when Black UUs and their supporters walked out of the General Assembly in Boston in 1969, Unitarian Universalists finally made good on a long broken promise (watch video). Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU) received the remaining $4 million dollars of the $5.3 promised to them by the Board of Trustees in October 2016! Thanks so much to the individuals, organizations, and congregations (over 600) who contributed to the success of this campaign.

This was made possible by the overwhelmingly patient, persistent, and resilient efforts of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, contributions from many of you (ARE members, supporters, and other white allies), and ultimately, the power of the UU collective to come together and set things right. THANK YOU!

What a deeply meaningful way to demonstrate the incredible Power of We!

ARE Booth

The primary way ARE engages in GA is at our booth in the exhibit hall, where we are available for conversation and support, provide print and online resources and work alongside DRUUMM, who holds the booth next door.

This year, collaborating with numerous other organizations and people, we introduced an #ElephantInTheRoom scavenger hunt, where people solved clues to find elephants representing the characteristics of white supremacy culture located all over the convention center. We also provided White Supremacy and Countering Oppression Bingo cards for attendees to use throughout GA.

The new activities were a huge hit, especially with families, and our booth was busier than ever. We’re already dreaming about what we’ll bring to Providence next year!

ARE Sponsored Workshops

ARE Leadership Collective members helped facilitate two workshops this year:

Consensus Decision-Making to Counter Oppression (watch video) and Body Practices for Unlearning White Supremacy

We also collaborated with Shelly Tochluk, who spent lots of time at the ARE booth, graciously volunteered as an elephant handler, and also presented the workshop Expanding the “We” in Racial Justice: White People’s Work. All the sessions were well attended and some of the facilitators are working on providing more online content over the next year.

Thanks to our General Assembly Planning Committee (GAPC) liaison, Cecelia Hayes, we were fortunate to get a private room in the Convention Center this year, where we hosted an anti-racist In-Gathering and the ARE Membership Meeting. It was so good to meet and network with folks in-person who are engaged in this work around the country.

The room also served as an intentional white-ally organizing space before becoming an ad hoc meeting place for several other organizations, including DRUUMM, who used it for caucusing break-out sessions. We have recognized the need for such a space at GA over the last few years, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

ARE Chaplaincy

Despite anticipated lower-than-usual GA attendance, we recruited twice as many dedicated ARE chaplains this year in order to provide extra support for white folks in the work of dismantling white supremacy. While chaplaincy was only minimally needed in Spokane—which we believe is a testament to how far we’ve come in these few years since our faith began to tackle this work collectively—we did field numerous calls afterward from people who were troubled by events there.

The resistance to the proposed UUMA Accountability Guidelines that began the week prior to the gathering in Spokane (see ARE’s statement), repeated micro-aggressions by the 25 Year Speaker during Ministry Days, the dissemination of a book which included language and “talking points” commonly used by the alt-right, and profoundly ugly online activity made our time in Spokane, and the weeks following it, unnecessarily painful for many, particularly those most marginalized by both our society and our faith.

A number of UUs have since spoken out about the events, both privately and publicly, and a collection of public responses, along with our own statement can be found on our GA Resources, pages 3 and 4

ARE provides chaplaincy along with coaching, consulting, and other support for folks engaged in countering oppression and working to end white supremacy in themselves and in their communities. We heartily encourage people to contact us if locally available support services are insufficient.

Find out more about ARE’s services and programs.

For those experiencing trauma around violations of covenant, particularly from staff and clergy in positions of power and authority, we also recommend contacting UU Trauma Response Ministry: 888-760-3332.

weARE@GA Debriefs

During the last two GAs, we hosted nightly debriefs via Zoom to better connect offsite and onsite GA participants. Since we were in Pacific time this year, our intention was to host these at lunchtime while in Spokane. They didn’t happen this year. We apologize for this and plan to resume them again in Providence.

What’s Next?

We encourage white UUs to keep deepening our understanding of how to effectively dismantle oppression and disrupt white supremacy. Along with our website and LEARN section, we just released a piece on Medium with a great list of recommended authors, educators, and thinkers who can help guide us through our personal and collective transformation.

In addition to already existing monthly networking sessions (open) and healing circles (for members), we are starting online small group learning circles for ARE members in the next few weeks to provide more opportunities for us to connect and grow our shared understanding. If you’re interested, sign up soon so we can create the most inclusive possible schedule. Sincere apologies to those who already signed up and expected to start in mid-July! We’ll be contacting you soon to arrange scheduling.

Save the Date! ARE’s Fall Gathering is October 3-7, 2019 in Phoenix, AZ, beginning with in-gathering on Thursday evening, followed by four full days of programming. Part training, part organizing session, part retreat, this Praxis-style event is designed for those wanting to move into the next level of their anti-oppressive practice. Details and signups will be available in early August.

Lastly, we have begun to recruit for 2020 Field Organizing and are planning for a robust ARE presence at District and Regional Assemblies again this year. We’ll be creating and facilitating workshops, hosting networking sessions, and collaborating with other justice-centric organizations. To get involved, please send us the proposal deadline and theme for the 2020 District or Regional Assembly in your area, and we’ll get the ball rolling.

Also, if you’re planning on attending GA next year and would like to be in on planning ARE’s activities (there will be even more elephants in Providence), let us know in the next month or two—we’ll need all the help we can get!

Ending with Joy

In the months leading up to GA, we in the ARE Leadership Collective grappled with confusion and uncertainty about what to expect at this year’s General Assembly. We knew it was going to be “different” and that it would be about doing collective reflection about where (and how) we, together, wanted Unitarian Universalism to go in continuing to dismantle white supremacy in our communities, systems, and structures. Some of us expressed frustration about the delays in information, odd deadlines, and what appeared to be a general lack of communication. More than once, we almost succumbed to the demoralizing effect of not having our very white need for clarity and certainty met. Thankfully, we were able to disrupt this in ourselves and each other. In doing so, we came to the realization:

That’s not how it works in a collective committed to justice, equity, and inclusion; it’s not how it’s ever going to work. And if there was ever an experience that “proved” that, unequivocally—it was GA 2019 in Spokane.

What we learned at this GA . . .

Many years of hard work, relationship building, organizing, Praxis (education, action, reflection) over and over, visioning, revisioning (and refining), listening to (and taking leadership from) those most affected by systems of oppression, getting to know our social location and what that means, cultivating humility, being honest about our history and clear about our context, disrupting our culture of ownership, releasing our fear of scarcity, sharing power, and diligently focusing on developing more equitable systems actually works!

Even with the pesky disruptions, breaches of covenant, and feelings of betrayal, the hard-won wisdom—cultivated and passed down to us by so many of our ancestors throughout our history—actually is transformative. It had already begun to transform us, the alchemy of Praxis worked on the ground in Spokane, continues to transform us today, and into the future. Those of us who have experienced more than a few General Assemblies agree; we have never felt more “together” as Unitarian Universalists, with shared common purpose, and with the fierce resolve to stay this course than we did in Spokane.

For a mission that became amplified in the wider UU collective dialogue less than 10 years ago, that’s amazing! For an effort that’s been embraced (collectively) by UUA administration and elected leaders for less than 5 years, that’s phenomenal! For a cultural shift that gained momentum, even as widely available UU anti-racism education was being all but completely defunded by the previous administration—and many of us had to pursue avenues outside of Unitarian Universalism to educate ourselves—that’s practically miraculous!

Yes, for many of us true justice, equity, and compassion is hundreds of years overdue and will never come soon enough—and maybe not at all. Yes, we still have a very long journey ahead, and we may lose folks less committed to nurturing a fully anti-oppressive faith along the way. And yes, this work is many times overwhelming and disheartening . . .

. . . and yet . . . and yet . . . our time in Spokane was a triumph worth celebrating—“The Power of We” held incalculable joy!

In the words of the Rev. Dr. Bishop William Barber of Repairers of the Breach and the Poor People’s Campaign: Forward Together, not one step back!

Let’s do it with JOY!

We look forward to connecting, collaborating, and celebrating with you soon!

In Solidarity,

On behalf of the ARE Leadership Collective,

Laura Bollettino and Carolina Krawarik-Graham
2019 ARE GA Co-coordinators

We are building an anti-racist movement of white Unitarian Universalists to dismantle white supremacy in ourselves, our congregations, and communities.

Virginia Racing Commission Meeting Recap From January 17th

The Virginia Equine Alliance (VEA) outlined its vision for 2017 at this week’s meeting of the Virginia Racing Commission, which was held Tuesday in downtown Richmond.

VEA President Debbie Easter provided details on the first two Off Track Betting Centers that recently opened in Richmond — in the west end at Breakers Sports Grille (opened November 2nd) and in downtown Richmond at Ponies & Pints, which opened on Monday. There are plans to expand the OTB network this year into Chesapeake, Hampton and possibly a fifth location in southwest Virginia.

Country style racing will continue at both the spring and fall Gold Cup events with a slate of steeplechase and flat races, and a ten day harness meet will be held again this fall over a five week period in September/October at Shenandoah Downs. Negotiations continue for future thoroughbred racing at Morven Park in Leesburg. An addendum to the original Morven lease is being addressed as is the permitting process. The Virginia-bred Mid-Atlantic owners bonus program, which was approved at the last VRC meeting, will continue throughout all of 2017 and provide increased value for Virginia-bred horses. At the next VRC meeting, scheduled for early March, the VEA will probably request to conduct some Virginia-bred stakes races in Maryland again this year.

In an OTB update, Ms. Easter noted that after two months, the Breakers OTB is running at double its revenue projections. The VEA did not include any ADW in its 2017 revenue forecast, however it is working on a potential kiosk project with one of the ADW companies that currently operates in Virginia. Ms. Easter finished by saying that there are many positives heading into the year.

Darrell Wood talked about plans to market the OTBs. Much of the focus early will be on the $12 million Pegasus World Cup simulcast from Gulfstream on January 28th, followed by the weekly prep races leading up to the May 6th Kentucky Derby.

After the 2017 forecast, Ms. Easter and HBPA Executive Frank Petramalo went into more detail about the status of Morven Park and the challenges they face moving forward with the project. The three main discussion points are water availability (for the turf course), a second crossing (to get horses & trailers across the turf course and into the infield show rings), and availability of racing dates (to have a schedule like Shenandoah Downs where racing occurs on a series of consecutive weekends). Commissioner Van Clief noted that most everyone agrees Morven is the best location and noted the VRC is available to help in any way possible.

In new business, the VEA made a formal request to the VRC for approval of a $1.5 million interest bearing loan from the HBPA purse account to be used for excavation work at Morven Park once current negotiations are finalized. Mr. Petramalo noted the entire cost of the Morven project would run between $3 – $3.5 million. The purse account currently has $3 million in it and is projected to rise by $2.5 million in 2017 from ADW and OTB commissions. The loan would be in effect only if the project moves forward. The motion passed unanimously.

VEA Controller Bill Murrill presented the Alliance’s proposed budget for 2017. It is based on $18 million in handle from the two Richmond OTBs and another $8 million each from succeeding OTBs that come on board in Chesapeake, Hampton and possibly southwest Virginia. Commissioner Van Clief asked if the Gold Cup pari-mutuel steeplechase and flat races had become a profit center. Dr. Allison said they had a five year break even plan when the pari-mutuel aspect first started and they are currently on target to meet that goal. They are increasing wifi band width at Great Meadow to accommodate more wagering via personal devices this year, and a key is turning Gold Cup fans into bettors. Ms. Easter noted the VEA is looking to broadcast the Shenandoah Downs harness races into its OTB network this fall as another potential profit center. The VRC unanimously passed the VEA expenditures/budget.

In closing comments, Commissioner Reynolds thanked the VEA for its hard work and echoed that the VRC is available to help in any way they can. Commissioner Van Clief added that Virginia racing is building a brand. Commissioner Steger suggested that perhaps the Governor’s Economic Impact Fund could help with the Morven Park project.

The next VRC meeting will take place in early March, on the 6th, 7th or 8th.
