Police Innovation Platform

Making innovation projects accessible and attractive to maximise their potential.

In a time where it’s easier to steal your grandma’s data than her purse, the Dutch Police needs to keep innovating. High-level innovation projects require high-level tools. Because, let’s be honest, when talking about innovation, spreadsheets won’t do it anymore.

Many exciting innovation projects are currently running within the Dutch Police. These vary widely in topics: from aiming for more cultural inclusivity to crime-catching drones. All projects have one thing in common: they contribute to a theme. A theme is like a goal with a deadline that the Police reaches by completing its related projects. However, these projects usually stay within their unit, which isolates them, preventing relevant findings from being shared with the rest of the organisation.

Another problem is that not everyone is keen to innovate. Innovation struggles with a bad image within the Dutch Police. We often heard feedback such as '"It costs money and is risky; I don’t see how it benefits my job.” This left us with the question: how can we make innovation accessible and attractive?

To understand the context of our brief and the organisation itself, we situated ourselves with our stakeholders and users. This allowed us to define what direction is necessary for our research and determine the problem correctly.

Since innovation and its purpose was still conceptual, we conducted stakeholder interviews. By often asking for feedback and going through many iterations, we narrowed our scope and solved the problem space effectively.

Through user testing, situated and participatory design methods, we managed to define precise audiences for our solution, allowing us to target them specifically and create a holistic solution that the organisation can use.

The Platform

The result is an interactive platform that makes the status of innovation tangible with the help of storytelling and by visualising the progress of innovation and its effects over time.

For managers, we offer basic functionalities for strategic decision making, such as the designated budget for a particular project or goal and how much is spent.

For the staff of the Dutch Police, we present the progress and context of innovation. Through success metrics, project goals and timeframe of a project, officers know what they can expect from a project and when they can use it in their workflows.

For the officers on the street, a mobile version of the platform is more convenient.

For civilians, we offer a way to get in touch with the Police on how innovation makes their neighbourhoods safer. To avoid sharing relevant information with civilians with criminal intents, the Police has the possibility to curate the visibility of the platform's content.

Looking Ahead

As we hand over our findings and advice to the Dutch Police, we think it important to elaborate further on the visual relationship between themes and projects, to make the structure clearer. Additionally, we find it essential for the innovation team to interpret the success of their efforts effectively. Therefore, we think it important to formulate a way to measure results so that the Dutch Police can make future decisions based on past work successes.

Very good!

Quality, worth spending your money on! Managers are helpful, the service works round the clock, and communication is flawless. My rate is 5/5.

Thanks for response.

I didn’t have time to write my essay, so I ordered it at Masterpapers. My writer did an excellent job. Theology is a complicated subject, and this is the only service who responded to my request and offered help. Thank you so much.

Masterpapers is the best!

I am a working student and have been ordering assignments here for years. Never regretted my decision, guys are real pros! And a tip: don’t wait till the last minute. Save your budget and order up front.

100% satisfaction

We didn’t get along in the beginning. I turned into a complete control freak, texting my writer five times a day, making a lot of fuss around my order. Grateful he put up with my breakdowns and wrote A PERFECT term paper after all.

Enjoyed working with you

It is a pleasure for me to recommend such an awesome service as Masterpapers! Ordered three papers here, all in Marketing, all delivered on time, all got the highest grades. Though I worked with different writers, it didn’t affect the final results.

Risk-free company

I used to be afraid of online writing companies. You know… What if somebody finds out or what if they turn out to be cheaters. Masterpapers earned my full trust! Such a pity I haven’t found this service earlier – could have saved so much time, energy and nerves.

Excellent quality

As an international student, it is difficult to keep up with my studies as native students do. This is why I ask professional writers for help. What I like about this service is that they allow to talk to writers directly and see their working progress. The quality, in 90% of cases, exceeds my expectations.

My lifesavers

I often found myself dead-locked by an insanely massive amount of home tasks. Luckily, I have Masterpapers to help me out! For half a year now, I’ve been ordering my assignments from the same two writers who know exactly what I want and need. Thanks!

Loved it!

A+!!! Soooo happy! Big thanks to masterpaper and a fantastic writer who did my dissertation in just two weeks and delivered it before the deadline. I am so thrilled with the result and will for sure spread the word about your service among my friends!

Easy to use

I shift, probably, 30% of my college assignments to external writers. Masterpapers has the best ones, as proved by their results. Never got a bad grade or missed the due date, besides, they do not disturb you at all. You can submit the brief and wait for your order to be completed. Very handy!

Forever grateful

This service saved my academic career not once or twice, but multiple times! It all started with an urgent history essay they wrote for me back when I was in high school. Now, whenever I need writing help, MasterPapers is the only choice. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Pleased with the service

So quick, I’m impressed! The writing style is good, the research part is also good, so I’m delighted with the quality. Plus, they gave me a discount on the first order. Well-done job = well-deserved five stars.

Super safe!

Not a big fan of cheating, but, hey… We all need a helping hand from time to time. At least with masterpapers I can be sure that not a single person will find out about it. They are obsessed with security measurements and do all that is necessary to ensure customer`s privacy.

Really fast and good

I had an urgent assignment on chemistry and one day to complete it. It seemed impossible! Masterpapers was my last hope, and they lived up to it. Sure, it wasn’t cheap, but who cares when they delivered my assignment in just four hours. Nice and neat!

Very impressed!

Wow! 96 out of 100, can you believe this?? I still can’t! The prof was speechless; he couldn’t understand how I managed to write such a prominent research paper myself. So sad I can’t thank my writer in person, but you are the best and you deserve to know this!!!

  • 1you are pressed for time having too many assignments on hand.

All You Need to Know About Our Custom Thesis Writing

Are you in need of custom thesis help for your Ph.D. or Masters dissertation? Welcome to our trusted professional thesis writing company. We offer a premium service that meets the requirements of students all over the world. With qualified native writers from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, we are ready to handle any dissertation topic needed.

A thesis or dissertation is compulsory for completion of most degrees. It shows your teacher whether or not you grasped the subject you are undertaking. It is usually very long and quite complicated. Once you are done, you will feel exhausted and completely drained. That said, a thesis holds considerable weight in your final score. Therefore, you should always pay keen interest when writing it.

But we are here to relieve you of the stress from writing a complete thesis or parts of it. We save you the long hours plus the efforts needed for research and writing. We assign writers to your order based on the specific need, which means that the service you will receive from us is personalized to suit you.

Who Needs a Custom Thesis Paper from Our Professionals?

Anyone can get thesis help, and hiring a custom thesis from a capable professional writer can help you avoid most writing challenges. For one, you may be pressed on time. The thing is that writing a thesis needs time, which most college students do not have. Today, the majority of students have to work part-time just to get by while at school. Such a job takes several hours of your free time every day. With classes, assignments from other subjects and other commitments, there is hardly any time left to write a properly-researched thesis.

Sometimes, the task of writing a thesis can be daunting. It can seem impossible to develop a topic and thesis, conduct research, analyze such data and write the entire process in a coherent document. If you are writing by yourself, you must be prepared for a lot more than long hours. More so, if you are writing a Masters or Ph.D. research paper. But with an experienced professional writer, getting a custom PhD thesis is a matter of days.

Are you having trouble writing your thesis because of bad grammar? The point is that teachers expect well-researched works which are also written in good grammar. Therefore, even if you have the right idea for the thesis, poor language skills can hinder you from accomplishing your goal. An expert writer, on the other hand, possesses good writing skills. Therefore, he/she can give you a proper paper in no time.

If you are also facing trouble with the subject matter of your thesis, you can get custom help. When the subject you are writing about is difficult, it is impossible to make any headway. Furthermore, your teacher will test your understanding of the subject. Therefore, you must show in-depth knowledge on what you are writing about in your thesis.

What Our Thesis Service Can Do for You

We can help you with any writing challenge. If your concern is time, our speedy writers can write your thesis in a fraction of the time the average student can take. While a short essay can take as little as three hours, writing a standard dissertation takes our professional writers just five to seven days. We discuss a suitable deadline with our customers and ensure we meet that timeline.

We will help you with a difficult topic or subject. If writing the thesis is intimidating or overwhelming for you, we are happy to take it off your hands. How can we help? We have dissertation writers who are specialized in different areas of study. These writers hold Masters and Ph.D. degrees in their subjects of specialization. Therefore, when you order a custom paper, we look for a qualified writer in your subject and academic level. You also have the option of picking a writer of your choice.

Need a writer who can write a grammatically correct thesis for you? When you hire us, you don’t have to worry about grammar. We have native writers who have been vetted for grammar and writing prowess. Our tests are rigorous, and only a small percentage of those who apply meet our expectations, and consequently, get hired. Moreover, we have a quality assurance department in place to go through every paper from our writers before it reaches the customers. This department includes a competent team of editors who go through all dissertations to proofread for grammar mistakes.

With us, you can be sure of high quality, well-written content delivered on time. Order your thesis today to enjoy more benefits from us.

Our Writers Will Write an Authentic Thesis for You

What is the most important quality of any written work? It is authenticity. If your paper is original and also relevant, you can be sure that you will get a high grade. So when you choose a thesis writing service, your main concern should be whether they will give you a well-written paper done from scratch. Our pledge to clients is always to deliver unique papers. The content will be researched and then written to your requirements.

Our originality guarantee does not end there. After your paper is complete, it must first go through a plagiarism check where it is compared to billions of other writings on the internet to verify if it is unique or not. Therefore, you can be sure the final document you receive in your account is not only of top quality but also 100% authentic. Still undecided on where to get premium thesis help?

Melinda + Mateo | A Santa Fe Engagement Session

Melinda and Matteo met as hotshot firefighters, and as fate would have it, they were thrown together on the same crew. I guess you could say that there were sparks. For their first date they decided to hike Wheelers Peak in Taos, and that would become only the first of many adventures together.

Eventually these two flames became more serious and Mateo knew it was time to propose. Unfortunately, Melinda's father had just been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. Mateo knew this wasn't the right time, so he waited. After supporting Melinda through a traumatic event, things settled down and Melinda's father was doing much better.

Mateo asked Melinda's father for his blessing.

On a hike mirroring their first date, Mateo got down on one knee and asked Melinda a long awaited question. The two were finally engaged!

Living behind the Santa Fe railyards, the two spend a good majority of time there. Naturally, they chose to have their second home incorporated into their engagement session. They finished their session with a small hike to overlook the city they loved, while surrounded by the nature they've worked so hard to protect.

We can't wait to Celebrate their marriage next month!

Critical Infrastructure News

Attacks on control processes supported by operational technology (OT) are often perceived as necessarily complex. This is because disrupting or modifying a control process to cause a predictable effect is often quite difficult and can require a lot of time and resources. However, Mandiant Threat Intelligence has observed simpler attacks, where actors with varying levels of skill and resources use common IT tools and techniques to gain access to and interact with exposed OT systems.

The activity is typically not sophisticated and is normally not targeted against specific organizations. Rather, the compromises appear to be driven by threat actors who are motivated to achieve ideological, egotistical, or financial objectives by taking advantage of an ample supply of internet-connected OT systems. As the actors are not interested in causing specific physical outcomes, they target whatever is available on the internet.

There is a saying in cybersecurity that “Data is the new oil.” If that is true, then that oil is powering not only the economy but also industry. The term ‘Industry 4.0’ refers to the fourth industrial revolution where traditional manufacturing and industrial processes are increasingly using IT and data to the point that we’re now seeing the emergence of ‘smart factories.’

From the management and control of power and water to the management and control of farms, Operational Technology (OT) control machinery ensures they run effectively and efficiently. OT devices are increasingly becoming part of our IT world, and although the convergence has been happening for some time, it would seem we are only just beginning to recognize its significance.

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) last week released a cybersecurity advisory focusing on the security of operational technology (OT) systems, particularly in terms of connectivity to IT systems.

The NSA’s advisory, titled “Stop Malicious Cyber Activity Against Connected Operational Technology,” is specifically addressed to the Department of Defense, national security system (NSS) and defense industrial base organizations, but the recommendations can be useful to any industrial company.

The advisory shares recommendations for evaluating risks and improving the securing of connections between IT systems — these can often serve as an entry point into industrial networks — and OT systems.

IBM Security’s annual X-Force Threat Intelligence Index uses data derived from across our teams and managed customers to gather insights about the topmost targeted industries every year, helping organizations manage risk and resource investment in their security programs.

When it comes to managing digital risk and facing potential cyberattacks, each industry faces its own unique attack landscape, as different threat actors, motivations, assets and geopolitical events drive adversarial activity in each sector.

To map the most targeted industries, IBM used data insights from 2020 attacks to look at what can be expected in 2021. The data showed finance, manufacturing and energy at the very top of a list of targeted sectors.

Design law is a rapidly growing and increasingly important part of a comprehensive intellectual property strategy for many companies. McAndrews is one of a handful of firms with the design law expertise required to protect the visual component of innovations. Both in the United States and internationally, McAndrews is a design law firm of choice. We have been asked to protect some of the most recognizable, significant designs in the world. Our track record in the design rights field speaks for itself.

McAndrews has devised and implemented worldwide design right prosecution and enforcement strategies for some of the world’s largest companies in a wide range of industries such as nutritional products, beverages and beverage dispensing, furniture, medical devices, housewares, fashion and apparel, packaging, life sciences, toys, sporting goods, and consumer electronics. Whatever the product, if it has a distinct look and feel, we can help protect it.

At McAndrews, our design patent lawyers are focused on securing enforceable and sustainable design rights that further our clients’ business goals both within the United States and abroad. Our programs help companies protect their unique product designs, and are tailored to each client’s specific strategic goals and needs. Our design protection programs also maximize brand strength and provide a strong weapon against knockoffs, as does our expertise in enforcement.

In today’s ever-changing, global consumer marketplace, product designs have taken on a new importance. This is particularly the case with digital or online products, in which the user experience is often at least as important as the functionality behind them and products are available worldwide, often instantly. The 2016 Apple v. Samsung case provided a stark reminder that proper protection of product designs is a vital part of a fully integrated IP protection strategy.

Our firm has orchestrated design filings in more than 60 countries. We are intimately familiar with the intricacies of international design law and can take full advantage of the cost savings offered by international filing systems such as RCD, Hague, and OAPI. We have also created programs integrating design patents and trade dress that minimize the chances of a client’s product falling prey to knockoffs.

We offer clients:

  • Comprehensive design protection, enforcement, licensing, and acquisition programs
  • Creative design patent prosecution strategies for market preservation
  • Decisive strategies for avoiding design patent infringement and validity assessments
  • Design-around recommendations for entire product lines
  • Innovative integration of design rights with trade dress and other IP protection
  • Programs especially suited for ornamental product design, UX/UI design, graphical user interfaces, icons and apps

We are widely recognized as a thought leader in design rights. McAndrews attorneys include the past chair of the AIPLA’s Design Rights Committee and the current Chair of the American Bar Association’s Design Rights Committee. We also serve in key leadership roles on design committees at the International Trademark Association, Intellectual Property Owners Association, International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property, and the IDSA, and we often contribute to the U.S. Patent Office’s annual Design Day. We are a recognized leader in the development of IP legal standards in design rights. For example, we represented the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) before the U.S. Supreme Court in a matter regarding the test for design patent infringement, and the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) in the landmark case Egyptian Goddess v. Swisa, whose positions were largely adopted by the Federal Circuit.

"My personal regard for you and your firm will always be at the highest level. You are an icon against to which all other intellectual property attorneys should be measured."

Brand Map: Assassin’s Creed

This week sees the release of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, the fourth full game in the series which has already gone on to beat the previous games in volumes of pre-orders.

This week we’re going to look at the Creed brand using the GameVision Brand Map you can purchase from MCV Reports. We asked 6,794 gamers about Assassin’s Creed of whom 1,325 had played the game in the last six months; 391 of these told us about their experiences in more detail.

81 per cent of gamers playing Creed are males (those aged 15 to 19 years old account for 22 per cent of all players) and, despite the age restrictions, 17 per cent of players are aged 10 to 14. The PS3 has become the platform of choice, with 40 per cent of gamers playing this platform in comparison to 28 per cent of users opting for the 360.

Downloadable content has been poorly received for Assassin’s Creed, with only one per cent saying they’ve purchased extra content. This number does not account for the uptake of additional content through the re-released ‘game of the year’ versions of Assassin’s Creed 2 and Brotherhood.

As of spring 2011, Creed 2 is the most played version, with 42 per cent of players. 27 per cent are playing the recent Brotherhood.

The large number of Creed players deliver 64,000 eyeball hours per month on the game – more than twice the exposure generated by an average game.

Assassin’s Creed is still a young franchise, but we already know we can expect the next game in the series in 2012. Where will the next chapter take the brand?

It’s Time for the Smile Makeover of Your Dreams

Even healthy teeth can end up looking a little worse for wear over the years, whether because of noticeable gaps, frustrating chips in the enamel, or dull stains. If you’re tired of not liking what you see in photographs or the bathroom mirror, it may be time to consider a change with Dr. Stapleton’s help. MDRN Dental located in the Westchase District of Houston offers several cosmetic dentistry services that are meant to correct aesthetic imperfections and help your smile shine with newfound confidence, and our team can help you determine the best options that fit your goals during a consultation. Contact us today in West Houston!

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers offer a great way for patients to completely “do-over” their smile! These custom, wafer-thin restorations are designed to fit over just the visible surfaces of teeth, hiding a wide variety of cosmetic imperfections all at once behind a new, flawlessly beautiful appearance. This process only takes as little as two appointments to complete. Better yet, the durable structure of the veneers actually resists staining and can last for up to 15 years or even longer.

While porcelain veneers are a very popular cosmetic procedure, there is one possible downside. Dr. Stapleton will need to remove a small amount of natural enamel from the teeth to accommodate their placement, which makes traditional veneers essentially permanent. If you’d like to have the option to return to your natural smile in the future, Lumineers may be a good alternative! This style of veneer is even thinner – only about the width of a contact lens – and can be successfully placed without any significant dental alterations.

Metal-Free Dental Restorations

At MDRN Dental, we’re happy to leave tired metal fillings, crowns, and other restorations safely in the past. Whenever possible, Dr. Stapleton recommends metal-free materials for a superior aesthetic finish that’s also durable and healthy. Our top-tier ceramics even reflect light in the same way as your original tooth enamel! Plus, they are 100% biocompatible, which is great news for patients who have suffered from painful, metal-related sensitivities in the past.

Dental Bonding

Direct bonding is a fast and simple way to correct relatively small cosmetic issues, such as thin gaps between two teeth or a misshapen edge. We’ll apply tooth-colored composite resin to the requested area and then sculpt it into place with an aesthetic flair, making sure the new “addition” blends right in with the smile that surrounds it. While direct bonding may not be as permanent as porcelain veneers, achieving your desired improvements only takes a single appointment, and the changes can last for several years too.

In-Practice Teeth Whitening

Yellow discoloration, dark staining, noticeable dullness – these cosmetic problems can really take a toll on someone’s self-confidence. Thankfully, they don’t have to be permanent. At MDRN Dental, we use top-of-the-line professional whitening brands like ZOOM! and KöR to dramatically brighten tooth enamel in as little as one appointment. This may be the perfect service for you if you have a big event (like a wedding or graduation ceremony) coming up fast where you would like to look your best.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

If you’d prefer to whiten your teeth at a more gradual pace and from the comfort of your living room, take-home professional kits are also available. Our team will provide whitening gel and custom application trays. All you have to do is wear them as directed whenever you have free time. Some patients see positive changes after just one application, with the most noticeable improvements happening after a few weeks of regular use.

Gum Recontouring/Crown Lengthening

Sometimes, the teeth aren’t actually to blame if you’re unhappy with your smile! An excessive or unbalanced amount of gum tissue may be the culprit instead. Dr. Stapleton can reshape the natural gum line, correcting any overly “gummy” areas and more properly complimenting your overall appearance. He can also perform crown lengthening, which involves revealing more of your beautiful teeth to the naked eye and correcting overly “short” smiles.

Virtual Smile Design

Taking the first step towards a smile makeover can often make someone feel nervous or unsure – after all, what if you end up not liking the results? At MDRN Dental, we want to inspire confidence in our patients from the very beginning, which is why Dr. Stapleton regularly uses virtual smile design technology to reflect future positive changes right here in the present. All our team needs is a current photo, and the image can be adjusted to show what you would look like with new porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, or other cosmetic services. You can even take these new pictures home and share them with friends and family before committing to a treatment plan!

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs

Are you ready to transform your smile and boost your confidence with one of our many cosmetic services? We understand that you may have a few questions first, which is why your dentist in Houston has taken the time to answer some of our most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dentistry in the following section. If you don’t find the answers you’re looking for on this page, feel free to give us a call and ask!

How Long Will My Results Last?

There are a variety of cosmetic treatments to choose from, each of which have a different average lifespan. While the results of a quick and easy treatment like teeth whitening may only last for a year or two, more substantial services like veneers or metal-free dental restorations can last 10-20 years.

Generally, the better you take care of your oral health after your treatment is finished, the longer your results will last. In most cases, this involves diligently brushing and flossing, seeing Dr. Stapleton regularly for checkups, and avoiding bad oral habits like smoking or biting your nails.

Which Cosmetic Dental Procedure Is the Best?

No two smiles are exactly alike. As such, no cosmetic service is “the best” for everyone. Each treatment has its own unique benefits, and whichever one is best for you will depend on the ways in which you’d like to improve your smile.

For example, the perfect treatment for someone who wishes to correct a cracked tooth will differ from someone who simply wants to brighten the shade of their smile. Ultimately, the best way to find out which cosmetic treatment is best for you is to schedule a consultation with your dentist in Westchase District.

How Much Does Cosmetic Dentistry Cost?

Multiple factors influence the price of your treatment, so there is no fixed price of cosmetic dentistry. In general, more extensive procedures tend to cost more than simpler treatments. For instance, teeth whitening usually costs less than a more personalized service like veneers, but the results typically don’t last as long and aren’t as dramatic.

While many dental insurance carriers don’t cover the cost of cosmetic services, there are always exceptions. At MDRN Dental, we’ll happily file your insurance paperwork for you to maximize your benefits. To help you finance your treatment, we even offer a Dental Membership Plan, which nets you discounts on most services as well as two FREE checkups and cleanings a year.

Is Cosmetic Dentistry Right for Me?

As long as you’re dissatisfied with some aspect of your smile, you’d probably make a great candidate for cosmetic dentistry. More often than not, the only requirement is that your oral health is in good condition. Issues such as cavities and gum infections should be addressed before beginning cosmetic treatment. By scheduling a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Houston, we can determine the best way to give you a smile you can be proud of!

Gents - Human Connection

A dancing procession of a light rhythm, shrouded in the bewitching echoes of unclear dreams, lays the musical essence of the first composition of the Gents - Human Connection album, then the vocal narrative appears as the fundamental link of the Horrorscope and further musical narration. Then the Own Little World vocals appears as a thoughtful, deep baritone, reflecting on the possibilities in verses, raising the tonality and emotions with bright trends of choruses.
Immediately announcing the name of the Emotional Facelift composition, the vocals sequentially prepare the listener for the sparkling stars of inspired and artistic keyboard passages. The rhythm pulsating in friable dusk pierces the obscure whisper of mystical entities, Premature Decisions vocals reflections are marching through obscure ghostly tunes entwined with sparkling ribbons of musical notes.
The echoes of birdsong, the noise of neighboring yards serve as the backdrop to the beginning of the title track Human Connection, Pt.1, the essence of which is vocal confessions. Musical passages are the basis for the Right on Time vocals variations, hopping with tonality and emotions. Then the pulsating march Smoke Machine with the broken rhythmic canvas recedes before the vocal phrases, then intertwining with them in a single musical image.
Further, the vocals of the invited artist echoes in a dispute with the solo vocalists, Second Guesses (feat. Fine Glindvad) is bringing a few unexpected shades to the color of the album. Human Connection, Pt.2 completes the title track and the album as a whole, again bringing the vocals to the forefront of the musical narration and surrounding the vocal phrases with support of other musical beings.

Acts of kindness

Acts of kindness

During this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week (18th – 24th May), the Mental Health Foundation is encouraging people to start conversations about mental health and celebrate the thousands of acts of kindness that have never been more important than now.

This week, we’ve looked at how brands and our industry colleagues are stepping up to talk and be honest about mental wellbeing.

We are the audience

As an industry, we spend a great deal of time delivering campaigns that help to reduce the stigma of a whole range of issues, including mental health. We focus so hard on the audience that it can be a shock to realise we ARE the audience. This week Kerry Roper, head of design at Saatchi and Saatchi in London has written a powerful article detailing how he went from being happy and carefree to being crippled by psychotic depression. It is an honest and open account that we should all take 10 minutes out of our day to read.

Find out how Banana Yazoo saved Kerry Roper’s life here – My Battle with Mental Illness

By your side

In a new campaign alongside partner Mental Health UK, Lloyds bank aims to highlight the common mental health issues experienced in lockdown, as well as offer support. In the spot, people play a game of 20 questions, describing symptoms of anxiety, stress, isolation, guilt and paranoia, helping to destigmatise the struggles which are being faced more than ever in these uncertain times.

Read the article on Campaign By Your Side

No mask for mental health

The Laura Hyde Foundation, a mental health charity for first-responders, has launched a campaign raising awareness of the mental health crisis on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic. The ad, which was created pro-bono, shows healthcare professionals wearing masks as they talk about their feelings and struggle while caring for patients. The campaign also includes a ‘virtual mask’ with an inverted rainbow smile, that social media users can place over images to show solidarity with front-line workers.

States' Preparticipation Physical Evaluations Vary Widely

Susan London

December 22, 2014

States vary widely in their policies regarding preparticipation physical evaluations (PPEs) for high school students, aimed at minimizing sudden cardiac death and other serious injuries, according to a study published online December 22 in Pediatrics. In addition, only a minority of states have adopted consensus recommendations that outline best practices for this screening.

The study's results "show that nationwide inconsistencies in PPE policies continue to exist within and between all 50 states and Washington, DC," write Shane V. Caswell, PhD, ATC, from the Sports Medicine Assessment, Research & Testing Laboratory, George Mason University, Manassas, Virginia, and colleagues.

"Our findings suggest the need for a nationwide standardized PPE form and the use of an electronic PPE process to improve adherence and develop a nationwide database. Such an approach would benefit the public by facilitating the creation of a robust and uniform nationwide data resource to evaluate and develop an evidenced PPE and help safeguard participation in sport," they maintain.

The investigators identified PPE policies, documents, and forms from public high school state athletic associations that were sanctioned by the National Federation of State High School Associations in all 50 states and Washington, DC, through August 2014. They then compared these items against the Preparticipation Physical Evaluation, Fourth Edition (PPE-4), consensus recommendations, which outline best practices and strongly endorse a standardized approach to these evaluations.

Nearly all states/jurisdictions (50, or 98%) required a PPE before students participated in scholastic sports; Vermont was the exception, permitting individual school systems to direct these decisions. A slight majority of states, 53% (n =27), required a specific PPE form, and 24% (n =12) recommended a specific form.

However, just 45% (n =23) of states either required or recommended use of the PPE-4 form or a modified version of it, and 53% (n = 27) required or recommended use of outdated or unidentifiable forms. Twenty percent (n = 10) of states had not revised their forms in more than 5 years.

States permitted nine different healthcare professionals to perform PPEs. These included nonphysicians such as nurses, physical therapists, and practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine.

On average, states completely addressed 7 of the 12 personal and family history cardiovascular screening items recommended in the PPE-4; the item most commonly not addressed concerned a family history of unexplained fainting, unexplained seizures, or near drowning. Less than half (43%; n = 22) of states addressed all 12 items, and most of the remaining states addressed 3 or fewer items.

Although 80% (n = 41) of states required that students undergo a PPE every year before participation, 14% (n = 7) required it every other year, and a single state (South Dakota) required it less frequently; another two states did not specify frequency.

Supported in part by nonrestrictive funding from the Potomac Health Foundation. The authors have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

I felt very supported by Melanie and went away each week with a happier outlook.  By the end of my 10 sessions I was able to control my feelings of anxiety which has given me my confidence back, and I now have the motivation to try new things and go to new places which I couldn’t have ever imagined doing before seeing Melanie.

I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity of having Melanie as my counsellor.  I was in an abusive relationship for many years and I always believed it was my fault.  Melanie helped me see things in a different way.   I never felt she was judging me and she never made me feel ashamed.  She gave me the tools and confidence to help me discover who I really am, which helped me move on with my life.  I can wholeheartedly say that I feel so much stronger and happier now than I have ever done before.  I am now able to walk away from situations if they are not right and I wouldn’t have had the strength to do so before.  Thank you Melanie, seeing you was the best decision I have ever made.

I found every session incredibly insightful, Melanie frequently explored different avenues I hadn’t thought of in terms of behaviour patterns and emotional responses.  Melanie always ensured I went away from each session with a task or goal which helped me tap into what she had taught me throughout the week.  From our initial session to my last, my self-esteem has increased and I now have confidence to trust my instincts and be comfortable with who I am.

Melanie has been a huge support and I will be forever thankful for her helping me through a difficult time and helping me with my personal growth.

I have found the whole experience extremely positive; it has been difficult at times, but I have embraced the insights I have had with your help.  You have challenged me in a gentle and skilful way, kept me focused and peeled back layers I didn’t know I had there.  I feel that I have been able to reach a deep sense of peace and calm within myself that I never thought I would be able to achieve…. I had always just accepted that this was who I was. With your help I feel I now have the confidence to move onto a different path in my life that I can maintain going forward.

I can’t thank you enough Melanie for all your help, you are a truly amazing counsellor and I’m so glad I found you… I felt safe with you enough to share my vulnerable side, which was a challenge for me.  I have really enjoyed the experience, thank you so much.

With one day left of 2019 I feel the need to post an update. To say I crashed into 2019 is an understatement I didn't know how to get through one day and the prospect of getting through another year was daunting anxiety had a grip on me and as I went through the year it was a bumpy ride but with the help of my husband, my family & friends that know who they are and Melanie Sanders Therapy I dug deep confronted my demons accepted them and began the journey of finding me, the me I lost along time ago we have a long way to go I am sure it won't be a smooth run but here is to another year of finding myself, conquering anxiety and living life! I am ready!

Having spent the last 4 years rebuilding my world after a near fatal attempt on my life which caused  me to be diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I found it difficult to deal with the Covid19 restrictions on life as Panic and Anxiety Disorder began to affect my mental health quite rapidly.

Having counselling with Melanie helped me to quickly refocus on the positive effects and affects that I had managed to make to my life.  Melanie helped me to regain an understanding that I could not change the past events, however, it was only myself that was responsible for the control that I had on how I perceived current situations.  Melanie reminded me on the importance of talking to people I was comfortable with as opposed to keeping my emotions and feelings to myself.

It is important to see that counselling is not a failure of how we handle situations but a means to receive clarity on what we already know about dealing with situations in life.  Counselling with Melanie affirmed to me that I did not need to return to prescription medication or to self-medicate to buffer my emotions, but more importantly I had the knowledge, wisdom and resources to manage through these difficult times.

From the very first session of counselling I found Melanie very relaxing, calming and understanding as I explained my deep-rooted anguish that was born from my near-death experience.  Given the sensitivity of the matter, Melanie was highly professional yet friendly and approachable which helped the sessions to move forward quickly and efficiently.

Given the sensitivity of the reason behind seeking counselling, I feel strongly that I was treated and respected extremely highly.  For these reasons I would have no problem in recommending Melanie as a counsellor.  I am also aware given the circumstance behind seeking counselling, that there will be time in the future that I will be in need of additional counselling, and for that reason I would definitely make use of Melanie’s counselling services in the future.

I am leaving after 5 sessions with a completely different healthy outlook on life and myself.

I would just like to say a big thank you for helping me turn my life around and making me the positive person I am sitting here writing this.

Throughout my 11 sessions, Melanie displayed the willingness and ability to understand sensitive topics. She always adopted a professional yet friendly manner, which made it easier for me to disclose and discuss difficult issues. Melanie created a safe and judgment free zone for me to explore my concerns.

Melanie’s approach was truly person-centred, and she quickly recognised that I responded well to advice that was frank and practical. Melanie was not afraid to challenge my negative thinking, encouraging me to see critical self-talk as thoughts rather than facts. Melanie never trivialised my issues and dealt with all concerns fully. Whilst I found some sessions emotional, I never found them distressing, as Melanie would not push me further than I could handle.

Melanie is an excellent counsellor and so skilled at her job. Melanie structured the sessions well, but she was also flexible enough to allow for diversion and the discussion of other pressing issues when necessary. I found Melanie’s advice logical and wise; I would often note down what she had said so I could read it again at a later stage. Melanie provided tools and techniques to ensure that I felt stable and supported in life post-therapy.

If I found it difficult to convey my emotions or views, Melanie would allow me time to gather my thoughts. Melanie treated me with care, compassion and respect at all times. I am grateful to Melanie for simply understanding me and for educating herself on my personal health issues, so that she could respond in the most appropriate way.

Gardening with Chickens in New Jersey

Gardening with chickens in New Jersey

All around the country, more and more people are trying to eat locally sourced foods, and what’s more local than your own backyard?

It’s a philosophy that’s led people to plant vegetable gardens, grow herbs for cooking and in some cases, raising chickens.

And while chickens are a great source of eggs, they’re also very useful gardening tools. Before you go shopping for chicken feed in New Jersey, you may want to learn a few ways chickens can help your garden grow.

Writing on the blog the Prairie Homestead, free-range chicken expert Justin Rhodes lists some of the ways keeping chickens can be beneficial.

1. Composting and fertilizing

Chickens produce a lot of waste. But that’s a good thing for people looking to start a compost pile. One chicken, Rhodes notes, can produce eight pounds of manure a month, another to compost one cubic yard of leaves. He calculates that for every pound of manure you use, you’ll need 45 pounds of leaves.

2. Tilling

A chicken can till 50 feet of established sod in about six weeks. It will take longer than a machine tiller, but if you’re thinking about your carbon footprint, keep in mind that chickens don’t run on gasoline. You should also keep in mind that chickens may peck at sod you want to preserve, so keep them fenced in away from those areas.

3. Mulch spreaders

A single chicken can level a large pile of leaf mulch within two days. Just confine your chickens around the pile, and leave them to it.

“Time to spread will depend on size of pile, material, and age of material,” writes Rhodes. “Older material will have more biota and the chickens will show more interest. If your chickens aren’t showing interest in a pile you need spread (like fresh wood chips), try spreading their feed on the pile, so they have to scratch for it.”

4. Pest control

Chickens will eat any insects, grubs or beetles that cross their path, and dig below the surface for seconds. Rhodes notes that a flock of 15 chickens on his property eliminated the bug population in a 1,700 square foot area within a week. You’ll keep your yard free of pests, and free of pesticides.

And if you have fruit trees, chickens can keep them pest-free as well. Rhodes describes how his friends ran a few chickens through his grandmother’s low-production apple orchard. “That next summer, we harvested so many apples, we’re still enjoying the applesauce!” Rhodes said.

He suggests doing this in the spring, when adult worms are laying their eggs in trees.

If you’ve just added chickens to your garden and are looking for chicken feed in New Jersey, Mendham Garden Center can help. In addition to feed, we carry fencing, posts, bedding and anything else you might need to keep your chickens safe and comfortable.

Visit us today at one of our three locations. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have as our garden reaches this interesting new phase.

Homelessness and mental health

As the nights get colder and darker, it is timely to talk about a fundamental factor which greatly influences people’s mental health: housing.

Affordable and safe accommodation brings stability and security; provides a gateway to access health services like GPs; enhances social and community inclusion; and provides the basis for the right to private and family life. Put simply, a home is vital for good mental and physical health, allowing people to live in safety, security, peace and dignity.

Whilst there is no such 'right to housing' in itself, the right to an adequate standard of living, including housing, is recognised in the UN Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Of course, there are numerous factors which can cause people to become homeless, many of which are beyond individual control, such as lack of affordable housing, disability and poverty. But what really needs to be highlighted is the two-way relationship between homelessness and mental health.

Homelessness and mental health often go hand in hand, and can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Having a mental health problem can create the circumstances which can cause a person to become homeless in the first place. Yet poor housing or homelessness can also increase the chances of developing a mental health problem, or exacerbate an existing condition. In turn, this can make it even harder for that person to recover – to develop good mental health, to secure stable housing, to find and maintain a job, to stay physically healthy and to maintain relationships.

It is a fundamental fact that single homeless people are much more likely to have mental health problems compared to the general population. In 2015, 32% of single homeless people reported a mental health problem, and depression rates, for example, are over 10 times higher in the homeless population. Unfortunately, other psychological issues such as complex trauma, substance misuse and social exclusion are also common.

This mental health inequality could be resolved through various measures, both within and beyond housing policy. So what changes in policy and practice should be made?

Recognising that homelessness is a public health issue

Targeted prevention focussed on this particular group of people is crucial. The homeless population currently struggle to access healthcare and tend to rely on A&E at crisis point, which costs £85 million a year. In the words of Rick Henderson, chief executive of Homeless Link, we need more "multi-disciplinary NHS and housing teams who target housing, health and substance misuse issues in unison".

Investing into research, design and training for psychologically informed environments

Put simply, this means that staff who work with homeless individuals in shelters, hostels or health services, must be aware of their emotional and psychological needs, wellbeing, and put their safety first.

Maintaining the entitlement to housing benefit for unemployed 18-21 year olds

Scrapping this benefit in 2017 will increase the risk of homelessness for many young people.

Reinvesting in social housing

Over 50,000 families in Britain are now considered "statutorily homeless" and sheltered indefinitely in B&Bs, and the pressure is growing even greater for local authorities to provide a roof over their heads.

Improving gender-sensitive approaches for women across the housing and health sectors

Rates of substance misuse are currently higher among homeless women, and greater provision of sanitary products is needed to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

Homelessness increases the risk of poor mental health, severe ill health and disability, lower educational attainment, long-term unemployment and poverty. There is no simple measure to resolve all these problems, but the prevention of poor mental health is the key place to start.  People cannot, and should not, be expected to make the journey out of homelessness without the right treatment and support.

In addition, our government should prioritise mental health across all policies, including housing, but also in social care, welfare, education, employment, the criminal justice system, and so on. In doing so, we will be taking the necessary steps to build a fairer, more inclusive society, ensuring that people have the support they need to realise their potential, contribute to their communities, and to lead dignified lives.

The relationship between housing and mental health is therefore so important that it cannot be overstated, yet is still largely neglected. Unless we address the fundamentals of mental health in policy and practice, we are never likely to get on top of the homelessness crisis.
