Dassey wins in federal appeals court

Brendan Dassey appears in court April 16, 2007, at the Manitowoc County Courthouse in Manitowoc.

CHICAGO - A federal appeals court has affirmed a judge's ruling that overturned the murder conviction of Brendan Dassey.

In a 2-1 ruling issued Thursday afternoon, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit upheld the August 2016 decision by U.S. Magistrate William Duffin of Milwaukee.

Duffin found that Dassey’s constitutional rights were violated because investigators for the prosecution made false promises during multiple interrogations.

In overturning the conviction, Duffin ruled that investigators made “repeated false promises” that, “when considered in conjunction with all relevant factors, most especially Dassey’s age, intellectual deficits and the absence of a supportive adult, rendered Dassey’s confession involuntary.”

Dassey was convicted in the 2005 murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. His uncle, Steven Avery, also is serving a life term in connection with the killing. Avery also is appealing his conviction.

The state appealed Duffin's ruling, putting the case before the federal appeals panel.

Thursday's ruling doesn't necessarily mean Dassey will be freed from prison. The state can appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court or retry Dassey.

"We are evaluating the 2-1 decision from the court," said Johnny Koremenos, director of communications and public affairs for the Wisconsin Department of Justice. "We anticipate seeking review by the entire 7th Circuit or the United States Supreme Court and hope that today’s erroneous decision will be reversed. We continue to send our condolences to the Halbach family as they have to suffer through another attempt by Mr. Dassey to re-litigate his guilty verdict and sentence."

Dassey's attorneys said the ruling took their client one step closer to freedom.

“As of today, Brendan has been locked up for 4,132 days," one of his attorneys, Laura Nirider, told USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin. "For the first time, this decision brings the end of that road in sight. We’re not there yet."

Nirider stressed that the court’s ruling sent a strong message that the majority of the panel believed in Dassey’s innocence. “This is a confession that nobody can have any faith in.”

Another of his attorneys, Steven Drizin, said today’s ruling should send a loud message to state district courts and state appeals courts, which initially upheld Dassey’s 2007 murder conviction.

“In evaluating whether a confession is voluntary, courts must engage in the kind of searching and analysis that the federal courts performed, that the state courts did not.”

Dassey's attorneys are evaluating their next steps to secure his release.

The case was the subject of the hit docu-series “Making a Murderer,” a Netflix production that was released in December 2015.

Dassey was 16 years old when he was questioned – and later charged – in connection with Halbach’s murder.

Nirider said during oral arguments before the 7th Circuit in Chicago in February that there was a "drumbeat of promises" from investigators before "every major admission" made by Dassey.

"They fed him the answers they were looking for when he didn't give them the information they wanted to hear,” Nirider told the three-judge panel.

The state countered that Dassey’s confession was not coerced because the investigators who questioned him never made him any explicit promises.

Thursday's majority opinion discussed a "pattern of suggestive questioning" throughout the March 1 interrogation of Dassey.

The ruling stated that prosecutors' case against Dassey in the original trial rested almost entirely on Dassey's interviews with police and one phone call with his mother — but no physical evidence.

"There was no physical evidence linking Dassey to the murder of Halbach — investigators did not find any of Dassey’s DNA or blood on any of the many objects that were mentioned in his confession — the knives in Avery’s house, gun, handcuffs, bed, RAV4, key, or automotive dolly," the decision states.

The judges said the state appellate court ignored "many signs" that Dassey was trying to please investigators and a clear pattern of fact-finding and promises.

"By doing this — by linking promises to the words that the investigators wanted to hear, or allowing Dassey to avoid confrontation by telling the investigators what they wanted to hear — the confession became a story crafted by the investigators instead of by Dassey," the ruling states.

Words don’t come easy, and at times they don’t form at all, and explanations remain unspoken, leaving them to the hands to perform. And the pencil, as a rather passive object, comes to help when all the others—brain, hand, and words—fail to communicate.

To explain a constructive detail or similar complexity to someone else, or yourself, is kind of the same problem and needs the same solution. When words fail, a pencil comes in handy and the hand sketches freely what the brain already knows and makes it understandable for you or your colleagues. A spontaneous sketch can clarify an issue, can free a complex problem from its complexity. If you can’t express yourself with words, a pencil and a few lines are all that is necessary, and at once an efficient, constructive solution is brought forward. It’s a simple observation we all must realize and execute at some point. It’s a form of communication that is very natural at the Kunstgiesserei St.Gallen, too. The workers discuss details or constructive difficulties with clients, or with their colleagues, and quick sketches are almost thoughtlessly drawn on a sheet of paper, or whatever is in reach to draw on. Where do you place a connection, screws, drill holes? Where do you set welds? How should this be lifted, or set down to stand? The sketches to solve these and similar problems are drawn quickly and the papers are often discarded right then, when the solution is found. They’re not for the archives, not to document, but they’re a tool of construction and communication.

This publication is the result of a collection of such quick sketches. Stefan Inauen, one of the workers at the Kunstgiesserei St.Gallen, collects some of his colleagues’ drawings. He does this occasionally, before they end up in the trash, and he keeps them in a pile, and later in an envelope. It’s a spontaneous collection of little snippets, post-its, drawings on photographs or the backs of business cards, or occasionally scraps of the paper tablecloth from the cafeteria. Inauen keeps collecting slowly, but steadily, without much of a purpose, but maybe just in the same way the sketches have come to be in the first place: without much ado, without a specific purposefulness. It’s a charming way to represent the attempt of communication between two people, the attempt to explain something and to understand each other. It’s a very simple, human interaction between you and me, or me and you, with the help of a pencil. A selection of items from Inauen’s collection is reproduced in this publication. This is done without much explanation of what kind of artwork or artist’s project the sketches were intended to help build. They are not just a tiny step in the process of the production of a great artwork, but are presented here as autonomous and brilliant drawings, which they truly are.

20 Students Injured in Rear-End Crash Involving 2 Chicago School Buses

05/17/2011 // WPB, FL, USA // Personal Injury Lawyers News // Nicole Howley

Chicago, IL — Twenty students were injured in a school bus accident, while going to Northwestern University on a field trip. The school bus crash occurred at about 11:15 a.m., on Chicago Avenue, near Davis Street in Evanston, reported TribLocal.com.

According to officials, the school was transporting students from Rowe Elementary School, when the bus driver was momentarily distracted before rear-ending another bus from the school.

The bus driver may have been looking in his side mirror when the bus slammed into the back of the other bus, police speculated.

There were 24 students on one bus, and 26 students on the other school bus at the time of the accident.

Responding emergency crews rushed 20 students and an adult to three area hospitals: Evanston Hospital, Skokie Hospital and St. Francis Hospital. Ambulances from Evanston, Winnetka, Wilmette and several other communities responded to the scene.

Chest, neck and lower back pains were among the reported injuries sustained by the victims. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.

The uninjured students continued on to their field trip.

Investigations are ongoing.

SEO Web Designing

Designing Tips to Have a Good Homepage

Designing Tips to Have a Good Homepage

Homepage is the first thing visible to you when you open up a website. Therefore, homepage should be designed in such a manner that it attracts the audience and also bound the visitors to stay on the site for some time. How can you know which website is good and which is bad before browsing through it? It is the homepage which gives an idea about the organization.

Do you know a well designed homepage can create trust on the minds of the viewers regarding the concerned organization? When you are using a website for online business, a meticulously designed homepage can draw in new customers and traffic. In contrast, a shoddy homepage can even turn off the potential customers instead of bringing in new ones. Hence, it is crucial to have a well designed homepage.

Homepage Design Tips

Ideas to Get the Best Homepage

 Make It Simple

Have you ever thought why you are so much addicted to Google? Is it only because it can provide you instant information on various topics? Well, this is truly one of the reasons why Google is so popular amongst the users but there is also another reason – it is the simple design of the homepage that fascinates the users. Looking at the Google homepage, what you find is a search box and some links, yet you get all the things you desire from this.

Thus, it is clear that “beauty lies in simplicity”! The more user-friendly and simple your homepage is, more positive response you can expect from the users. Most of the web designers tend to employ numerous functionalities and graphics on a homepage. The end result is that the visitor gets confused with the page and loses its track. Therefore, designers should focus in creating a simple but functional homepage.

Read :- Best 10 strategies for designing websites

 Well Distribution of Contents

Often you will come across a homepage having large graphics in the prime position of the page and all the important contents are cluttered across the page. Such poorly designed website can never fetch a positive feedback from the visitors. Therefore, while designing a website or a homepage for that matter, make sure that you distribute the entire content meticulously in the page. In other words, there should be a perfect balance between the graphics and the contents on a web page.

 Give an Ideal Tagline

All the visitors of your website do not know what your business is. In most cases, visitors land up to your website by searching for something. Therefore, to make everyone understand your business, you should provide one suitable tagline to your homepage, that can precisely explain your business. Including a tagline is a must for those whose website says nothing about the business.

 Emphasize on Essential Tasks

A website can be very successful, if it is capable of satisfying the needs of the users. Thus, if your webpage is designed in a manner that can offer all sorts of information to the visitors as soon as they navigate through it, nothing can be better than that. Visitors will like to come back to your site again and again. If your site is meant for performing some action, then you should highlight that task on the homepage. Priority matters when you are designing the site.

Read :- 8 Tips for Improving Your Web Design

 Make It Easily Navigable

A homepage which enables you to get easy access to its site contents and offers fast navigation through the contents is truly the best homepage you have. Every visitor doesn’t know which content lies on which page; they have search for it. So, to make their searching easier, it is good to provide them with a site map of your website. Exploring the site becomes very easy and quick for the visitor. Once he sees the sitemap, he instantly knows where he will find his relevant information.

 Give a Search Box

It is a trend amongst the visitors to look for a search box on a webpage for entering their queries. For this reason, you must provide a search box where visitors can enter 25 characters at least. Also, ensure that this box actually works.

 Optimum Usage of Links

Links, indeed, are the major action items you can have on a homepage. When anyone visits a homepage, he invariably looks for the relevant links. Therefore, you should add links with proper keywords in it. Every link starting with the company’s name is a ridiculous idea. Instead your link should help the user locate what he wants.

Read :- Ten Important Tips for Designing the About Us Page

 Meaningful Usage of Graphics

Image is certainly more effective expression than words. It is essential to include meaning images and graphics to the homepage. Unnecessary addition of images and photos to the homepage only mess up the website and does not good to the visitors. Rather the visitors get confused while browsing your homepage. A great homepage is one which inserts only those images which the user needs.

Here we share Some Important Tips for Designing Tips to Have a Good Homepage. Enjoy and Share.

Poorana Kozhukattai/Modak

For Poorana Kozhukattai/Modak, we need to prepare the outer shell and the stuffing (Pooranam) separately. The outer shell is made with Rice Dough and can be prepared in different ways. I have shared two methods below.

Directions for Outer shell - Method 1

  1. Soak two cups rice in water for about one hour. Drain the water completely and grind it to a fine powder. Sieve it.
  2. Boil two to two and a half cup of water along with a teaspoon of oil and a pinch of salt.
  3. When the water starts boiling, reduce the heat and add the rice flour and stir continuously until it become a thick dough. Switch off the stove and cover with a lid.
  4. After few minutes remove the lid and allow the dough to cool. When it is warm enough to handle, knead it well.

You can prepare rice flour as below or you can use store bought ready made rice flour also. The water quantity depends on the quality of rice flour – sometimes it absorbs more water and sometimes less. So boil some extra water and keep it handy. Use for 1 cup flour, one or one and half cup water first and then if require more water then add the reserved hot water.

Directions for Outer shell - Method 2

  1. Add the rice flour in a kadai and dry fry till nice aroma comes out. Remove from stove and keep aside.
  2. Boil 2 to 3 cups of water along with salt and a teaspoon of oil (preferably gingelly oil). Pour this boiling water in the fried rice flour slowly and mix it using a wooden spoon.
  3. When it is warm enough to handle, knead it well.
  4. Now dough for outer cover is ready.

Stuffing for Modak

The stuffing for the Modak (poornam) can be prepared in a few ways and I have shared some of them below. Prepare the stuffing using one of the methods below.

1. Coconut Pooranam

  • Coconut gratings – 1 cup
  • Jaggery powdered – 3/4 cup
  • 4 pieces of Cardamom – powdered

  1. Put the jaggery in a heavy bottomed vessel and add 1/4 cup water and keep on low flame. When the jaggery completely melted, add coconut gratings and stir now and then till it blends well and become solid. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Cool it.

2. Dal Pooranam

  • Bengal Gram Dal – 1 cup
  • Powdered Jaggery – 1 cup
  • Grated Coconut – 3/4 cup
  • Cardamom – 2
  • a pinch of salt

  1. Soak Bengal gram dhal in water for about two to three hours. Cook the Dhal in water till soft, but not mushy. Drain the excess water. Grind the dhal along with jaggery, coconut and cardamom to a fine paste. Heat up a heavy bottomed pan and add this mixture to it and stir over a medium flame till the mixture is solid. Let it cool.

3. Ellu (Sesame Seeds) Poornam

  • White sesame seeds – 1 cup
  • Powdered Jaggery – 1 cup
  • Cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon

  1. In a kadai put the Ellu and dry fry till it starts crackling. Remove and cool. Put it in a mixie and grind it just for two to three rounds. Then add powdered jaggery and again grind it for few seconds. Finally add cardamom powder and again run the mixie for one to two rounds and remove it.
  2. Now the desired Pooranam (stuffing) is ready.

Directions - Final part

  1. Take out small lemon size dough and make a ball. Using your thumb slightly press the ball in the middle and hold with your fingers and make a cup.
  2. Kozhukattai1Put one tablespoon Pooranam in the cup and close the edges. It look like half circle. To make modakam, put the puranam in the rice cup and bring all the edges to the centre and press slightly. Finish all the dough and pooranam like above. Arrange in a greased idli plate and steam it for five to seven minutes. You can use double boiler for steaming, which is having flat plate and hold more kozhukattai and retain the shape also.
  3. If you find it difficult to make rice cups, you can use Kozhukattai mould.

If you make little more rice dough, after making few Poorana Kozhuttai, you can prepare “Uppu (Salt) Kozhukattai” or mini size “Ammini Kozhukattai” with the remaining rice dough. Grease your fingers and take out a little dough and make a gooseberry size balls and put it in a idli plate and steam cook for five minutes. These can be taken as it is or you can season it with mustard, urad dhal, curry leaves etc. Best thing is just sprinkle little “Idli Milagai Podi” over the kozhukattai and eat. Some people add little chilli powder in the dough itself. However, if you make plain kozhukattai, we can give it to kids also.

  1. your recipes are all great …i am trying out one by one ..where would i get the kozhukattai mold?

  2. Hi Meenu,
    Thank you for visiting my site. The moulds are available in India. You will get it at the Utensils stores (Paathira Kadai) at Chennai. In North India also, I find these moulds in the shops near the temples.

  3. Suhasini Deepak

    Hi Aunty,

    Can I use ready made rice flour available in Departmental stores?

  4. Hi Suhasini Deepak,

    Yes. You can use ready made rice flour available in stores.

  5. Pingback: Kamala's Corner – Vinayaka Chathurthi

  6. hi,

    How do u get the perfect stripes in the Kozhukattai. Do you do that with spoon or ???

  7. Hi Kamala,

    I have been a regular visitor to your site for the past few years.
    Whenever there is a festival I always check out your site first.

    Thanks for all the efforts you put in.

    Warm regards,

  8. Hi aunty
    Yesterday , I followed your steps for preparing modak,it came out very well .we celebrated very happily.
    Thanks a lot to u

  9. Kamala,
    where is this kozhakattai mould available?

  10. Hi! Your recipes are great. Modak came out well. I have a question. How do you use the mould to make modak? Is it easier than handmade? i have a mould but do not know how to use it 🙁

  11. Hello aunty I love all ur recipes. Small doubt y do v need to fry the rice flour?

    • If you are going to use home made rice flour and pour the water to the rice flour, then you have to fry it. If it is store bought processed flour, then you can use it without frying.

  12. HI KAMALAJI, namaste,today we celebrated Ganesh chaturthi festival very happily. i want to thank you so much for the receipes__steam modak.,festival vadai, and pidi kozukattai.everything came out very well. for last few months i am trying many of yr receipes. thank you very much.

  13. Usha Kalyan

    Kamala Madam,
    Tried your kozhukattai. Came out pretty well. Thanks a lot. One doubt ma’am , my mother always strains jaggery whenever she makes anything with that. I did not see you mention that step in your recipes. Should I strain or not. Please clarify my doubt. Thanks in advance for your reply.
    Usha Kalyan.

    • If you get good quality jaggery, you need not strain. However, sometimes you will find mud like substance in the jaggery. In such case better to make a syrup, strain it and add it.

Volvo Loader Hire: How to Make the Best Choice

Whether it’s for mining, material handling, landscaping or construction, the selection of the right loader can greatly affect productivity and fuel efficiency. There are dozens of different brands with various specifications available. It’s crucial to determine which ones to prioritise so you can make the right choice.

Another priority is about the cost. New machines may cost from $80,000 to $250,000 each, which is why both small and large businesses (individual contractors & other industry professionals) often opt for equipment hire instead. This is an economic decision whether you require a single vehicle or an entire fleet.

Let’s then discuss how to make rental even more cost-efficient for your business and job site:

Also consider the availability of experienced operators

The next question that comes up once you’ve considered renting an equipment is who will operate the loader. The operator you hire should have adequate safety training and on-field experience. This decision alone can make your project progress significantly faster (with fewer delays).

There are also different job site requirements. For instance, there might be regulations specifically about the environment. Loaders and other heavy equipment with diesel engines might emit significant amounts of nitrous oxides. Reduction of the emissions or pre-treating the nitrous oxides before being released to the environment are just some of the options.

The equipment provider and the operators should be knowledgeable about these additional details. This way, there will be additional cost savings while adhering to industry standards and local regulations.

Consider financing & transport

Aside from successful project completion, engineers also pay close attention to costs. The factors that bear the most weight are rental costs, labour hire, equipment transport and various operational expenses (e.g. fuel, equipment repair & maintenance).

One way to reduce that weight is by distributing the costs. This makes the contractor gain some flexibility especially when it comes to planning the project and anticipating delays. Equipment hire can already distribute the costs. Other arrangements can also be made to further the spread and somehow lighten the financing (e.g. let your company pick up the equipment or allow the equipment hire provider to do the job).

Completeness or full package

Another factor that has a huge effect on operational costs is the versatility of the equipment. Can you use it for other types of jobs? Are the attachments readily available so you can easily switch to other tasks?

For instance, here at K&G Machinery we have 5No Volvo L120 Toolcarriers (with bucket, pallet forks and crane jib already included). As a result, you can use the machineries for moving earth, unloading landscape rocks, moving lumber and blocks & transporting building supplies. You can use the bucket, pallet forks or crane jib depending on the specific type of job.

Volvo loader hire from K&G Machinery

Flexibility and versatility are the keys to achieving cost efficiency. In addition, there should be qualified operators who have adequate safety training and on-field experience. This is for optimal productivity and economic efficiency.

Enquire today if you require more information about our Volvo toolcarriers. You can ask us about the specifications and pricing.

out & about - june

Out and About is over - boo hoo! See my previous post for an overview of this fantastic project. The images below show our visits to Yorkshire Sculpture ParkLeeds Art Gallery and The Hepworth Wakefield, part of The Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle

What I've enjoyed most about Out and About is the depth and breadth of art and sculpture the participants were able to engage with. Each visit building on what had been seen and considered before, gently developing a comprehensive knowledge of contemporary sculpture. Its been a tactile first hand experience engaging hearts and minds as we've shared personal viewpoints, ideas and feelings in relation to the work.

The Hepworth Wakefield was the venue for our final sessions with the three schools involved and with cake and squash we celebrated the achievements of children, parents, teaching assistants and teachers. We hope to see the children again and gave out gallery guides detailing our free family workshops this summer. In the last few days I've met a couple of the children at these workshops and we were really happy to see each other!

Paige 21st Birthday

Katie & Morgan

I have been lucky enough to have met Kellee a few times over the past 6 years (as she has shot a few different events for us) and each time we have been wowed by her images!
Not only is Kellee super sweet and incredibly easy to get along with, she has the most amazing skills as a photographer. Her ability to blend into the background of an event (yet not miss the perfect shot), give helpful direction to her subjects, make you feel at ease in front of the camera, topped with her breathtaking light and airy photos make her one of the best photographers I know!
Every time I have gotten images back from Kellee, they have more than met my expectations! Especially the shots of my sister in-law’s twenty-first, which made our little party look like it came straight from the pages of a magazine!
Over the past 6 years, Kellee has become more than a photographer to us – she has become a friend and we hope she is able to capture lots more moments for us in the future!

Katie & Adrian

I wanted to be able to thank you for EVERYTHING! We are so impressed with the beautiful quality of the albums and print. The thing that stands out the most is what drew me to your images though. The beautiful natural shining light in them. So gorgeous! Your professionalism and approach shone through to all of our guests. Your photos are such precious lasting moments of our special day. We look forward to calling on you again for lots of other special times in our lives. xoxo

Emily & Scott

Emily & Scott

Dear Kellee,

What can we say? The service you have provided has been amazing. We searched high and low for a photographer who fit us and the style of wedding we planned to have. We can honestly say that you fit the criteria best in our opinion.
From the very beginning your honesty and professionalism impressed us. And the physical results and end products have blown us away.

When we first met at your warm and inviting home office, we discussed the importance of capturing ‘moments’. Looking at our engagement shoot photos and wedding pictures, we can say you have definitely managed to accomplish that. We can see that each picture was taken with a purpose and tells a very personal and unique story. That is a gift you have been blessed with.

The wedding ceremony and reception has passed now. And when the excitement of the day fades to a memory, we will have the pictures you have taken to remind us of the joy and magic of that important day :)

Thank you for capturing those moments. We would be happy to recommend you to any one of our friends and family

We feel close to you and look forward to our next shoot together when baby comes :)

From the bottom of our hearts we thank you.

Mary-Kate & Lionel

Mary-Kate & Lionel

Dear Kellee,

Lionel and I would like to express our gratitude in having you on our wedding day, on the 31st of March 2012.

We feel very fortunate to have had you as our photographer. Your professional and personal touch was experienced by everyone through our special day. Your patience and kindness has help put everyone at ease, and working with you was really fun and effortless. Many of our friends and family have enquired about you and your skills, and we did not hesitate to praise you and your talents to acquaintances.

Lionel and I couldn’t be happier with the memories you have captured for us on our engagement session and wedding day. We will be able to relive these cherished moments with fondness because of you.

Sydney Wedding Photographer

Carly & Michael

Kellee Walsh was a pleasure to have around throughout the day. Her skill in capturing the moments so perfectly, while being almost unseen, is phenomenal.

Charntelle Michael Wedding

Charntelle & Michael

Again Kellee thanks so much for the beautiful photos. We found ourselves last night going over and over the photos just amazed!  I’m so happy with the job you have done. THANKYOU  xxx

Candy Trent

Candy & Trent

Kellee captured our day perfectly! She was calm and quiet and blended in with us on the day. She captured such precious moments without even me knowing she was in the room! So every time I look at my photos I take a vivid walk down memory lane and revisit moments that would have slipped my mind if she wasn’t there capturing them for me! Even editing our album was a stress-free and easy process :)

Daniel from Zambia

When we first met Daniel he was four years old. His father had died and his mother was struggling to raise Daniel on her own. For a time, he was enrolled in a preschool programme, but without money for tuition and uniforms he could no longer attend. The future did not look bright for him without access to education and lacking other basic resources like nutritious food. But in 2015, his mother heard about Misisi Care Center and asked if she could bring her son.

His years in our programme have made a big difference in his life. He gets healthy meals before and after school, extra tutoring, and spiritual enrichment classes. Currently in 3rd grade, Daniel is excelling in his local school and his grades are all above average. He has a thriving spiritual life, consistently attending church every Sunday. This young man is an example of what can happen when God breaks in, restoring hope to a seemingly hopeless situation.

How to stop yelling at your kids

Dan Siegel, MD Neuropsychiatrist & Author, shares advice for parents on how to stop yelling at your kids and remain calm and in control in stressful parenting situations
How To Stop Yelling At Your Kids & Stay In Control
KidsInTheHouse the Ultimate Parenting Resource
Kids in the House Tour

How to stop yelling at your kids

You know, a common question that parents always ask me is: How can I stop flipping out so much? What I say is, "Be kind to yourself because it's human to flip out." But you can understand that the brain literally flips out so that the coordinating parts don't control the lower parts. That's just human. The other thing that you can know about is that since it's not your fault and you can stop blaming yourself, you can also then move to self-compassion where you say, "Hey! It's not my fault; my brain did it but it is my responsibility." Now when you do that, you can say, "I'm going to start trying to understand the hot buttons that created this flipping out state." Like for me it was when my kids didn't pay attention to me and I felt invisible, but you will have your own hot buttons that you need to understand. And then once you understand that, you can know what does it feel like when I'm about to flip my lid. Do my muscles get tight, my heart pounds, breathing fast, my jaw is tight, my tone of voice is getting more irritated - those are signs for me to know I'm getting close to flipping my lid. And then if you do flip your lid, get away from your child if you can so you minimize the harm that's done. Reconnect with yourself by drinking some water, stretching, going out for some fresh air. And then when you reconnect with yourself, understanding that it is your responsibility to make a reconnection first inside, and then come and make a reconnection with your child, not blaming yourself, but owning what happened that it's part of learning, that you are trying not to do it, but that you really want to make a reconnection with your child.

Expert Bio

More from Expert

Daniel J. Siegel, MD

Neuropsychiatrist, New York Times Bestselling Author, and Mindsight Educator

Daniel J. Siegel received his medical degree from Harvard University and completed his postgraduate medical education at UCLA with training in pediatrics and child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. He served as a National Institute of Mental Health Research Fellow at UCLA, studying family interactions with an emphasis on how attachment experiences influence emotions, behavior, autobiographical memory and narrative.

Dr. Siegel is currently a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine where he is on the faculty of the Center for Culture, Brain, and Development and the Co-Director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center. An award-winning educator, he is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and recipient of several honorary fellowships. Dr. Siegel is also the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational organization, which offers online learning and in-person lectures that focus on how the development of mindsight in individuals, families and communities can be enhanced by examining the interface of human relationships and basic biological processes. His psychotherapy practice includes children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. He serves as the Medical Director of the LifeSpan Learning Institute and on the Advisory Board of the Blue School in New York City, which has built its curriculum around Dr. Siegel’s Mindsight approach.

Dr. Siegel has published extensively for the professional audience. He is the co-editor of the Handbook of Psychiatry and the author of numerous articles, chapters, and the internationally acclaimed text, The Developing Mind: How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are.  This book introduces the field of interpersonal neurobiology, and has been utilized by a number of clinical and research organizations worldwide, including the U.S. Department of Justice, The Vatican’s Pontifical Council for the Family, Microsoft and Google. The Developing Mind, Second Edition: How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are was published in March 2012. Dr. Siegel serves as the Founding Editor for the Norton Professional Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology which contains over 12 textbooks. The Mindful Brain: Reflection and Attunement in the Cultivation of Well-Being  explores the nature of mindful awareness as a process that harnesses the social circuitry of the brain as it promotes mental, physical, and relational health. The Mindful Therapist: A Clinician's Guide to Mindsight and Neural Integration explores the application of focusing techniques for the clinician’s own development, as well as their clients' development of mindsight and neural integration. Norton released Dr. Siegel’s the Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology: An Integrative Handbook of the Mind in April 2012.

Dr. Siegel’s book, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation, offers the general reader an in-depth exploration of the power of the mind to integrate the brain and promote well-being. He has written two parenting books, Parenting from the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self-Understanding Can Help You Raise Children Who Thrive with Mary Hartzell, M.Ed. and The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind  with Tina Payne Bryson, PhD., both of which explore the application of the mindsight approach to parenting. Dr. Siegel's latest release is The New York Times bestseller Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain (Tarcher, 2013), which explains how brain development impacts teenagers' behavior and relationships. His next book with Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D. is No-Drama Discipline: The Whole-Brain Way to Calm the Chaos and Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind.

Dr. Siegel’s unique ability to make complicated scientific concepts easy to understand and exciting has led him to be invited to address diverse local, national and international groups of mental health professionals, neuroscientists, corporate leaders, educators, parents, public administrators, healthcare providers, policy-makers, and clergy. He has been invited to lecture for the King of Thailand, Pope John Paul II, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Google University, and TEDx. For 2010-2011, Dan is serving as the National Speaker for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Mindfulness and Integrative Medicine Lectures. He lives in Southern California with his family.

Video: Deer pick their moment to cross Kilkenny road

Did Santa leave some of his helpers behind?

Santa may have left a few of his helpers behind him during his recent visit to North Kilkenny and he might well have to come back for them.

These young deer chose their moment to cross the Kilrush Road at Freshford late last night. The motorist, who caught it on dashcam, had their wits about them and was exercising caution given the icy temperatures.

Local councillor Mick McCarthy has reminded road users in the area to be vigilant and use caution to avoid potential collisions. He says there have been fewer incidents in recent weeks, but the herd remain active in the area.

Back in October, the occupants of a car, including two children, were left badly shaken after a collision with deer on the same road. The deer landed in front of the vehicle, causing significant damage to it.

Aren B: Achieving my fertility goals naturally

Aren B: Achieving my fertility goals naturally

The day finally came where I decided I was done with birth control and the side effects I had been experiencing. I was on a oral contraceptive for around 11 years with no negative side effects until the past few years. I am definitely not against birth control but knew it was time for me to move on!

I decided I wanted to avoid pregnancy without hormones so my first step was finding a good cycle tracking app.

Kindara had great reviews and seemed to include everything I needed. I later loved the added bonus of having a community because when I was initially confused about the process I could "study" others charts and the comments along with them. I also love how it has a knowledge base included so I have quick resources to my questions.

Today I am happily and easily tracking my cycles and avoiding pregnancy hormone free.

Haley M: Charting in a journey of secondary infertility

Haley M: Charting in a journey of secondary infertility

We are experiencing secondary infertility. We got pregnant with our first without much effort so it’s frustrating to not be able to conceive again. A friend recommended family planning to better track my body.

I felt overwhelmed by charting everything and it actually led to more stress. I didn’t think I was ovulating and didn’t know why!

Then someone highly recommend Kindara. It took all the stress out of charting! I actually ENJOY putting all the information in because it’s so easy to put in and so easy to read.

I now know I do ovulate every month and have been able to take proper steps in my secondary infertility quickly with our doctors. I’m thankful for Kindara and the role it plays for us every day!

An excellent week for Year 6!

We are so proud of the children in Year 6 this week. They are certainly getting into the swing of things, in terms of learning from home now, and we really look forward to seeing all of the wonderful work they produce and send in.

This week they have been continuing their work on the Mayans. We asked the children to create some of their own Mayan jewellery and we have seen some amazing creations.

Alfie’s bracelet

Danny’s necklace

Luke’s necklace

Roxanne’s jewellery

The children have also discovered that Mayans were very skilled builders and so have been looking into Mayan houses and pyramids. Here is some of the excellent work we have seen sent in based on what has been researched at home.

Hayley’s research

Will’s research

Research from Jamila

We also asked the children to make their own Mayan hot chocolates. The Mayans drank a very rich and flavoursome hot chocolate which included chilli powder! Whilst enjoying following the Mayan recipe, most children were keen to revert back to their favourite hot chocolate after trying it and we did see some sneaky marshmallows on top too!

We will be continuing our topic work on the Mayans next week and can’t wait to see what Year 6 produces!

Portfolio Risk profile

This section shows your portfolio risk and a comparative scale of the typical risk level of several investment strategies so you know where you stand relative to the market. The risk is expressed in percentage, between 0% (no risk at all) to potentially more than 100% (extremely risky). Don't be fooled by the scale: 30% risk historically corresponds to a lot of risk...

While calculating the risk of an individual stock or bond is quite easy, calculating the risk of a portfolio comprised of several of such stocks and bonds can be quite difficult. The reason for this is that the risk of a portfolio of securities is not equal to the average of the risk of each individual securities. Rather, it is a subtle mix of their risk and correlation.

To calculate your portfolio risk, Kivalia uses a proprietary algorithm that employs the well established principles of the Modern Portfolio Theory. The very same type of risk modeling used by the professional investment management firms in their portfolio construction, analysis and rebalancing process.

POTENTIAL GAIN & LOSS gain loss help help
Your portfolio's risk of 7% means that there is a 90% chance within a year that a portfolio beginning with $10,000 is likely to end up somewhere between:

Portfolio Potential Gain & Loss

Investing is about risk and return. Every investment comes with the possibility of a gain or a loss, and because risk is the measure of the magnitude of the fluctuation in your investment value, there is a direct correlation between your level of risk and how much you possibly can gain - or lose - with the investment.Commonly, we say that the higher the risk, the higher the possibility of larger gains, but similarly, the higher the possibility for large losses.

Given the risk calculated for your portfolio, this section shows the likelihood of the fluctuation of your portfolio value within a year. It shows your current balance, as well as the likely ranges within wich your balance is to fluctuate within the year.

Diversification & Styles

Diversification is finance-speak for "don't put all your eggs in the same basket".

Along with understanding your risk, diversificatiion is one of the most important aspect of your investing strategy. Diversification is a technique that mixes a wide variety of investments and investment types within a portfolio.

To calculate your diversification, we look for:

  • How many stocks, bonds, etc... you invest in
  • How all these correlate (move with respect) to each other

 Your diversification is expressed in percentage, from 0% (poor diversification) to 100% (very good diversification).

Style analysis provides you an idea of the investment style essentially by comparing the returns of this portfolio against the returns of 30 varying indices. It provides you with a better idea on what drives the performance of this portfolio.

The grandfather figure called "Old Man" on the television show "Pawn Stars" has died, his son Rick Harrison said.

Richard Harrison was 77 years old and surrounded by his family when he died, Rick Harrison said on Instagram. The circumstances around his death have not been made known.

Rick Harrison's statement reads:

Richard Benjamin ‘The Old Man’ Harrison passed away this morning surrounded by those he loved. He will be tremendously missed by our family, the team at Gold & Silver Pawn and his many fans the world over. He was my hero and I was fortunate to get a very cool ‘Old Man’ as my dad. That I got to share him with so many others and they got to see what a great family man he was is something I am grateful to have experienced with him. He lived a very full life and through the History television show ‘Pawn Stars’ touched the lives of people all over, teaching them the value of loving your family, hard work and humor. We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and ask that we are provided some privacy at this time.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ contestant Chi Chi DeVayne dies at 34

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ contestant Chi Chi DeVayne dies at 34
Posted at 3:35 PM, Aug 20, 2020
and last updated 2020-08-20 17:39:39-04

Chi Chi DeVayne, a popular contestant on the reality competition show “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” has died at the age of 34.

Entertainment Weekly was one of the first news outlets to confirm the death of the drag queen, whose real name is Zavion Davenport.

RuPaul confirmed the news in a statement on Twitter.

"I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of Chi Chi DeVayne,” wrote the TV show host. “I am so grateful that we got to experience her kind and beautiful soul. She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. May her generous and loving spirit shine down on us all. On behalf of VH1, World of Wonder and the cast and crew of RuPaul’s Drag Race, I extend my deepest sympathy - from our family to hers."

Chi Chi first appeared on season 8 of “Drag Race,” during which the Louisiana native made it to the top four thanks to her infectious personality and ability to design on a dime. She was also on season 3 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars.”

The queen’s death comes less than a week after she informed her Instagram followers that she was back in the hospital. Over the past several weeks, DeVayne had been battling pneumonia and suspected kidney failure.

Several fellow “Drag Race” contestants have taken to social media to mourn the loss. Here's are a few:

Chick-fil-A rolls out new spicy grilled chicken sandwich

Posted at 5:35 PM, Jan 22, 2021
and last updated 2021-01-22 19:35:19-05

Chicken sandwich stalwart Chick-fil-A will introduce a new chicken sandwich to its menu on Jan. 25, which will be available nationwide.

The Grilled Spicy Chicken Deluxe Sandwich will be sold for a limited time. Chick-fil-A said sandwich will feature a grilled chicken marinated in a spicy seasoning served on a toasted multigrain brioche bun with Colby-Jack cheese, lettuce and tomato. Chick-fil-A said the sandwich is made to pair perfectly with a packet of the Cilantro Lime Sauce, which was created specifically for the new sandwich.

Chick-fil-A said that the sandwich was tested in Fall 2017 in select markets. This is the first limited-time entrée introduced to the Chick-fil-A menu since 2019.

"We know guests are looking to add more variety to their meals, especially after a year where new food experiences were limited. The Grilled Spicy Deluxe is a flavorful twist on our current grilled offerings that we have been testing in select markets since 2017, and it provides a bold break from the standard lunch and dinner routines," said Leslie Neslage, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A, Inc. "We dedicate an average of 18 months to testing a new item before adding it to the national menu, which allows us time to ensure we can best support our restaurant team members while delivering a taste guests will love."

Norwegian news website forces readers to pass test on article before commenting

Posted at 8:32 AM, Mar 02, 2017
and last updated 2017-03-02 11:48:42-05

How often do you read a headline online and race to the comment section, desperate to vent?

It may be natural to many, but it's exactly the type of behavior that NRKbeta, the technology section on the news website of Norway's public broadcasting network, is trying to stop.

On some stories, potential commenters must answer three simple multiple-choice questions about an article before they can post responses to it.

On a recent NRKbeta article about a new Facebook search tool, for example, readers have to correctly answer these questions before they can post a comment: Who developed Stalkscan? Should you be terrified of Stalkscan? When did Facebook Graph Search launch? Three options are given for each, and the answers can all be found in the story.

The site has few problems with its regular community of readers, NRKbeta editor Marius Arnesen told CNN.

"But when we share our articles on the home page, they attract a lot of readers not familiar with the topics," he said. "They just read the headline, assume certain things and race to the comment field.

"The aim is to make people take 30 seconds before they comment, to take the edge off."

The initiative was launched three weeks ago. Arnesen admits that its success will be difficult to measure: "Are fewer comments a sign of success? Better comments? How do you measure good/bad comments?"

But he said the initial reaction from the site's regular audience has been positive.

Over the last few years, many news platforms, including CNN, have disabled the comment field entirely on some or all of their articles, choosing to encourage discussions on social media channels instead.

Last year, tech site Engadget disabled its comment system for a week because "so many of the replies" to stories dealing with topics such as gender, race or harassment were "hateful, even threatening," according to a statement posted on the website.

The comment system was re-enabled soon afterward with a new series of safeguards, including in-line moderator tools and user profiles.

Other sites are taking advantage of tools such as Civil Comments, which uses crowdsourced moderation, or Disqus, which uses ban lists and word filters to moderate reader comments.

Like many other platforms, NRKbeta is committed to keeping comment fields open if at all possible.

"We believe that you reading NRKbeta are at least as clever, and often smarter, than us who work here," Arnesen wrote in a statement on the website in August. "We believe in the idea that comments help to make the articles better by deepening, enriching and questioning the themes."

But NRKbeta is the only section on the NRK website to have any comment fields still open at all, according to Arnesen. "The comment fields on the rest of the site have been turned off for years," he told CNN.

With this new tool, Arnesen said he hopes to reinvigorate reader engagement across the NRK platform. "This could lead to us turning on comment fields elsewhere on the site," he said.

Whether it can halt the slow death of comment fields on sites across the Web, however, remains to be seen.

Three families displaced after Boise apartment fire

Posted at 12:14 PM, Jan 07, 2018
and last updated 2018-01-07 20:09:29-05

An early morning fire at the Whitewater Park apartment complex in Boise has left three families displaced.

The fire started in a fireplace flue on the third floor of the building. The Boise Fire Department arrived at the scene around 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

Nobody was injured during the fire, but a firefighter who slipped on the icy roof of the structure had to be rescued via ladder.
