power of thought

Our Actions must be Mental

We may come to understand that if we can learn to rely upon our mind to serve our well being ,we recognized that our actions must be mental first, to be free at last. Free from the need to hope that our well being will come to us someday in the future, free from worrying about what someone else thinks it’s good or fearing that we probably won’t get much better at all the things we do. The truth is that the way life works in each individual is through his/her thoughts. The power lies inside of us, each of […]

You are the power

The power of Thought

Power of your thought 3

Thoughts have the power to affect each one and the life that one lives. One’s thoughts are very vital tools in creating and shaping the reality that one experiences. Thoughts are responsible for the creation of one’s emotional state, affecting the body, health and one’s daily living in general, influencing one’s responses to relationships and to life and  determine one’s choices. The power of your thought can enable reality, and all realities. This reality however at times often will have one accept otherwise. Believing that your fate lies in other people’s hands and to the things beyond one’s control, then […]

Support South Australian stories Contribute

Black Is The New White

Toni Wilkinson
Tom Stokes and Miranda Tapsell

The work of star playwright Nakkiah Lui finally reaches a South Australian stage with Christmas cracker comedy Black Is The New White, and the result is more politically astute and jaw-achingly funny than we could have imagined.

Lui’s warm but gleefully shit-stirring sensibility is immediately laid out in a disarming opening riff on cultural appropriation between young couple Charlotte Gibson (Miranda Tapsell) and Francis Smith (Tom Stokes). As the pair wrap presents and brace for a shared Christmas with both of their families, they trade gotcha moments in a playful volley of privilege-checking brinkmanship that makes the audience squirm and howl with laughter in equal measure.

A little help from narrator and ‘Spirit of Christmas’ Luke Carroll sets the scene: Charlotte, a successful young Aboriginal lawyer (Tapsell stepping in for Shari Sebbens, and fresh from her own romantic comedy Top End Wedding) is newly and secretly engaged to her white boyfriend Francis, whose cheap clothes and comically obtuse vocation as a struggling artist (commiserations to any experimental contemporary classical composers in the house) mask the fact that his lifestyle is entirely supported by a trust fund allowance. He has yet to meet Charlotte’s father Ray (Tony Briggs), a retired politician and Aboriginal leader whose 90s heyday has brought him national recognition and financial comfort, but also a legacy of compromise.

Ray of course, owes much of his clout to Charlotte’s mother Joan (Melodie Reynolds-Diarra), who has set her own ambitions aside to provide the backbone to Ray’s political rise (a line about them meeting at a 1980 deaths in custody carries a poignant relevance this week – and indeed, most weeks – with the entire cast seen a few hundred metres away at Wednesday’s Yuendumu solidarity rally). Charlotte’s sister, fashion designer and influencer Rose (Tuuli Narkle), dreams of a Kardashian-style dynasty for her and trailblazing retired rugby player husband Sonny (Anthony Taufa). Sonny’s newfound embrace of the Lord imperils such earthly ambitions, but Narkle and Taufa’s chemistry and warmth sparkles throughout the play.

The biggest conflict arrives with Francis’ parents Dennison (Geoff Morrell) and Marie (Vanessa Downin), who are not only white, rich Liberal party scions, but are very much known to the Gibsons. Played by Morrell as a kind of desiccated blend of Kevin Andrews, Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull, Dennison is the long-term political and Twitter nemesis of Ray. The only thing that seems to unite this motley crew is their affluence (something Lui also regularly skewers), but it’s clear things are going to get worse before they get better.

On paper the messy, hazardous web of politics and identities that these six bring to the living room of the Gibson’s handsomely appointed summer house (built, as Ray continually points out, on their ancestral lands) reads like serious social commentary. Which, at times, it is. But Tapsell lends great empathy to Charlotte’s moral crisis as she reels from a recent case that seems like a win, but feels like a loss for the Aboriginal communities she is supposed to be representing. That sense of failure is thrown into stark relief by her own family’s wealth and privilege, and how the inroads her parents have made into mainstream Australia has left others behind.

Nakkiah Lui loves soppy love stories, Australian humour and Miranda Tapsell

Then there’s Rose, who is so confident that her sister’s interracial coupling will contribute to the erasure of Charlotte’s Aboriginal identity that you can almost feel Lui holding the other shoe above the stage, waiting for the perfect moment to drop it. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s conflict about being set up to be an “Aboriginal, female Waleed Aly” offers cause for white audience members to reflect on our own expectations and demands of Aboriginal people before granting a seat at the table – a theme Lui and Tapsell explored to great effect in their seminal episode of Get Krack!n earlier this year.

These discussions have nuance and weight as Lui shows that intersecting issues of race, privilege, gender, class and identity are far more than trending buzzwords. Charlotte’s attempts to find a path through the morass of the nation and her family’s legacy show how these ideas have real world outcomes.

These are insightful and important things to see play out on a major South Australian stage. Which makes the next statement all the more impressive: Black Is The New White is perhaps the single funniest thing you could hope to see on a stage or a screen this year. It’s the kind of writing that in any other medium would spawn an entire GIF library of memorable quotes, one-liners and exchanges – even if many of us would be too uncomfortable to casually drop them into the group chat.

Lui leaves few taboos unprodded, while harnessing an evident love and structural understanding of Richard Curtis-style ensemble comedies. Each character stakes out a different and familiar corner of modern Australian identity, but each of them surprises us in different ways. As Lui brings the characters in and out of focus, and pairs them off to highlight different arcs, it’s testament to the richness and humour of the writing and performances that one can’t help but watch the reactions of characters in the background of a scene. They, like the audience, sit perched on their seat in a mix of horror and amusement.

Directed by Paige Rattray and retaining much of the play’s original 2017 Sydney Theatre Company cast, the staging and arc of this State Theatre Company presented tour occasionally echoes the State Theatre’s 2017 finale Vale. But while Nicki Bloom’s tragicomedy added to the avalanche of necessary but occasionally exhausting studies of toxic masculinity, Lui shows that sometimes un-cynical humour and empathy can be even more illuminating.

From her work on ABC programs like Black Comedy to her periodic conscription into ~the national conversation~ Lui has emerged as a force in modern Australian cultureBut for years, FOMO-plagued South Australian audiences have had to be content to view her most engaging body of work – her plays – from afar through the prism of glowing Guardian reviews and bad faith culture warrior attacks. Over two-and-a-half hours that fly by all too quickly, it turns out the substance of Lui’s work is far richer, funnier and thought-provoking than we could have anticipated.

Let’s hope we don’t have to wait as long to see another.

Behavior ends relationship

Hi this is my first post here. I was diagnosed with ADHD about 3 years ago and was on Adderoll XR since then but have struggled to take it regularly and haven't taken it at all since last fall. Im gay and have been in a committed relationship the last 9 years. I work for myself as a contractor which I believe is very detrimental to me with ADHD. I struggle to finish projects and always have clients angry with me even though they love my creativity and are usually very happy with the project itself just unhappy with my inability to schedule and finish the most minor of details. I haven't been seeing my therapist and have admittedly let my treatment slip into the toilet. I had used my partners credit cards without his knowledge and amassed about 10,000 in bills on 2 cards, 99% of the expenses were related to my work and I thought I could pay them off without his knowing what I had done, a terrible mistake and fatal to our relationship. I do not have this behavior issue in other areas , I do not steal from anyone, although my partner says I have stolen from him by doing this, my brain doesn't process it like that but I bet everyone else sees it like he does. I am very sorry for what I've done and especially that it has ruined our relationship, he is such a great person and has had to deal with me and my adhd problems throughout our relationship. Most of my issues with ADHD manifest themselves in my financial life. I struggle to pay bills, I lost my health insurance last fall about the time i stopped my medication and quit going to my doctor. I know i need to get back to the doctor and get back on meds, they did help me a lot when i took them as directed. I don't know what I hoped to accomplish by posting here, I wondered if anyone else had such bad behavior, I feel so terrible about what I've done. Amazingly most all of our friends have contacted me to to tell me they love me and that they will help anyway they can. Well I guess I need to get packing, I have to move out of our house this week while he is on vacation, how could I have done this to someone who cared so much for me? I don't blame him for having to end this, why should he sacrifice his happiness while I can't get myself together to be an equal partner in the relationship. He says that breaking the trust we had is what did the damage and I can see that. Has anyone else here had similar problems, did my ADHD cause me to do something so dishonest and hurtful?

You Can Overcome ADHD in your Relationship

I feel so overwhelmingly pressed on to write this that I am doing it while at work. I am here to tell my story, in short, on how this book saved my 11 year relationship to my partner. I am a 32 yo female, we have 5 kids, your's mine and ours situation and he is 39. An 11 year relationship would seem crazy to anyone but to someone like me, I find it normal. I have planned 3 weddings to this man, we have separated 3 times, and after reading this book, have now been in a committed relationship still  living apart, for 3 weeks. Kind of funny how all those three's keep popping up huh? (ADHD moment, I have OCD about finding likeliness to everything.) Now this relationship has had it's fairy tale moments, isn't that why we are so gosh darn lovable as most ADHDers are? And following those moments can be some of the most horrifying, mind blowing, knock down drag out arguments, fights, or splits you have ever seen, although the break ups were always mutual and never ugly, we just couldn't put our finger on why we couldn't make things work in our relationship. Early on, our relationship was fine, mostly normal arguments and nothing we couldn't work through. But as time went on, that all changed. In 2012, we had our first break up. That was nearly 6 years into our relationship. The next one, 2015 and the next 2017. Each one lasting longer and longer. The 2012 only lasted a month, 2015 about 6 months and 2017 I have now been moved out since March 1 of this year. Since 2012, I have worked so hard to figure out what was wrong with me. Why I couldn't marry this man, commit to this man and not to mention our 5 kids. Ups and downs, long distance at times due to his job, and just a lot of built up aggression on both parts. We didn't know how to communicate, argue, love or take care of one another. At some point in my journey to figure out what was wrong with me I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar, given medication and almost committed suicide over it due to the misdiagnosis. That whole ordeal lead me to cancel our wedding, for the 3rd time and move out in 2015. That's when the real digging had to begin. A little background on who I am... I come from many broken homes, have relationship issues that stem from childhood abandonment by my mother and eventually by my father as well. Pretty much my whole family at some point has left me and all I was left with were my children. I was with their dad for 6 years and then my partner now for 11. Being in a relationship has been all I ever known, but to be honest, I haven't felt love until now, after this book. It has been a rollercoaster of events in my life that has mostly been bad due to growing up in a home of abuse and neglect emotionally and physically from my mother. I always knew I was different but never knew why. I can remember being 12 yo and sitting in my closet contemplating suicide b/c I was hurting so bad on the inside I just felt worthless. Having children now, I cannot fathom what I would feel like if one of them felt this way due to me. I just can't. There has been an ugly curse on my family for generations. I am the one to break it. I broke it. I refused to let my children grow up the way I did and the way my brothers eventually did as they got older due to lack of emotional support, love and a general sense of safety in the world. No child should ever have to endure that kind of pain and end up fighting it off until the rest of their life, b/c essentially, you can manage it, but it will always live inside of you. For me, I turned to God at a very young age to help me through this. It was not until 2017 that I can honestly say, I have worked thought those issues, made peace in my heart about my dad and mother and the rest of my family, God says if people aren't good for you then they need not be in your life. There is a reason for all of this, and I am at peace with Gods plan.

So now that we are working through abandoment issues, I no longer think Borderline Personality Disorder is an issues, we can move on to ADHD. I was diagnosed about a year ago due to lack of focus at work and other stuggles work related.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very comfortable shoe I bought the terex mid twice because I love them and I saw these and was intrigued. after my first hike, I realized that these were a great improvement. One thing I didnt like was the 2 metal lace buckets on the other Terrex cause I have had that catch on things before. These have just lace loops which is nice. The drawback is that it isnt as easy to do a bootlock with your laces. The upper boot is VERY comfortable and love how they feel on trail.

These Activists Are Trying to Get a Giant Trash Patch in the Pacific Recognized as a Country

The Trash Isles have their own currency and passport

It’s no secret that there’s a huge amount of plastic garbage floating around in the North Pacific. But in a desperate attempt to fix the problem, a group of activists are trying a new approach—lobbying the United Nations to recognize one mass of trash as an actual country, so that the world’s real governments will have to help to clean it up.

Titled “Trash Isles,” the campaign is a scathing stunt—and it goes deep.

The brainchild of a London-based creative duo, it kicked off with a letter to the UN formally requesting recognition as a nation state, signed by two partner organizations in the campaign—nonprofit network The Plastic Oceans Foundation and publisher LADBible, which helped bring the campaign to life by signing on big name endorsers like Judi Dench and Mo Farah, and developing content for its popular social channels.

Take these videos, for example.

One features the country’s “first citizen”—naturally, former U.S. vice president and renowned environmentalist Al Gore—proposing some solutions to the world’s broader plastic problems.

A second video spotlights English actor and investigative journalist Ross Kemp discussing the trash patch in more detail—8 million tons of plastic garbage end up in the oceans each year, killing 1 million sea birds—and making the case for its status as a country.

A flag for the nascent state consists of a white sky, blue water and a green plastic bottle. The official currency, “Debris,” comes in denominations of 20, 50 and 100, featuring different images of the wildlife—turtles, seals, whales—brutalized by floating trash.

A petition asks viewers to sign up to be additional citizens of the country, thereby fulfilling one of the four requirements for recognition—having a population. (The other three are a defined territory, a government and the ability to interact with other states.)

Michael Hughes and Dalatando Almeida cooked up the idea for the campaign, which even includes a “Trash Isles” passport—designed, along with the other elements, by Mario Kerkstra.

The stated goal—that other countries will be obligated to clean up the island under the UN’s environmental charter—is, it goes almost without saying, fantastical. In fact, the entire underlying premise of a trash island is perhaps a little less clear-cut than the campaign might suggest—its mention of a France-sized clump of trash appears to refer to a higher-density concentration of large debris at the heart of an even more gargantuan swath of water discovered in 1997 and generally known as the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”—essentially a soup of ocean water and tiny pieces of plastic (or microplastic particles), the span of which is notoriously hard to accurately measure, and difficult to clean up.

And that’s not even the only such mess. In July of this year, the same captain who stumbled on the first so-called patch 20 years ago discovered another gigantic one in the South Pacific.

Scientific nitpicking aside, the myth of a trash island has arguably proved useful in the past. Coupled with the UN gag, it does provide a framework for attention-grabbing messaging. Plus the fact that the real problem is so unwieldy simply drives home that the situation is, well, very bad. In other words, despite the idea’s inherent absurdity, that might help the campaign hit its real target—getting people to pay more attention to a rapidly growing issue, and think twice about throwing more plastic into the trash, and eventually, the ocean.

Hans Tan Studio’s Polka-Dot Pottery

It might seem blasphemous that Hans Tan, the 32-year-old designer behind Singapore’s Hans Tan Studio, takes a sandblaster to highly collectible Nonyaware pottery. But Tan’s limited edition Spotted Nyonya collection is his reinterpretation of the traditional tableware. “It’s my way of keeping the past relevant,” he says. Here’s how he connects the dots.

Peranakans—the descendants of Chinese nobles who migrated to the straits of Malacca in the late 16th century— had specific sets of crockery for special occasions. Hans Tan buys antique pieces from Singapore’s Thow Kwang Dragon Kiln Village.

Tan washes and dries each vessel to prep the surface before overlaying it with synthetic dot stickers. He applies each sticker by hand to ensure the dots are perfectly spaced. A large vessel may be covered in more than 300 dots.

Tan sandblasts each vessel with aluminum oxide, which removes the glaze from areas not covered by the dots, and exposes the white bisque porcelain underneath.

For the final step, Tan removes each dot using tweezers. It can take up to eight hours to take off the dots on such vessels as katamaus, pictured. In the end, Tan reveals a colorful polka-dot motif against the white background.

Pay Per Lead Affiliate Programs – Highest Paying Lead Gen Offers and Promos

PPL (pay per lead) affiliate programs pay whenever a successful campaign sends leads. This affiliate venture is wild and highly lucrative. Why? Because you’re not convincing someone to buy a product or service. Instead, all you need to do is send qualified individuals to an offer. If they click, like, submit a zip code/email, etc., then you’re paid! You become the traffic source for these businesses. They must do the heavy lifting when it comes to making the sale. You’ll find pay per lead affiliate programs in nearly every niche. You’ll also find PPL offers for just about any type of action. Paired right and your website or blog could make big bucks sending people through the affiliate links. How’s that sound compared to other programs? Great, right?

What You Need to Know about Being a Pay Per Lead Affiliate

The pay per lead market has a very “if you build it, they will come” opportunity. There are PPL programs for just about all types of offers and industries. You’ll find campaigns wanting leads to an insurance service or website sign up. You’ll find programs like zip code submission for realty companies or phone submits for dating websites. What does this mean? This niche and affiliate opportunity are heavily dictated by the niche website. Pay per lead programs can fit into most established sites but they’re often better paired with smaller, niche sites focusing on a handful of services. An example of this could be a small apartment finder site for your town linking to a pay per lead program paying out for local referrals. A couple of examples of pay per lead affiliate programs include:
  • Shareasale
  • Peerfly
  • Rakuten
These programs tend to have two referral opportunities. The front-end aimed at affiliates provides offers and promotions tailored for niche sites and marketing campaigns. A back-end offers commissions when advertisers and publishers sign up for the programs. What’s needed to be a pay per lead affiliate? Since promotions are niche specific – it’s important to have a solid understanding of Internet Marketing as a whole. This creates the best scenario with the promotions because you have the expertise and resources to promote anything. The routine is common:
  1. Find a good program and offer
  2. Create a site with great content
  3. Get active on social media
  4. Start advertising campaigns
  5. Test, track, and optimize
It’s the usual sales funnel you’ve come to know with online marketing. You can mix and match the promotions depending on trends and interest. You’ll see many competitors in markets pushing niche sites fueled by content creation services. Basically: Cast a wide net on several niche topics and offers to create sustainable income when promoting pay per lead affiliate programs.

The Pay Per Lead Market: By the Numbers

The pay per lead market is constantly growing and evolving. At its core is the affiliate marketplace which isn’t a new concept. Yet, there are subtle differences between PPL and affiliates. PPL, in comparison, is usually a single offer run by a company not wanting to add an entire backend for its management. This means you’re likely working with a pay per lead network instead of a single brand. Here’s what the pay per lead market looks like:
  • Industries like IT, Healthcare, and Financial services often pay of $250+ per lead
  • 61% of B2B marketers cite lead generation as their biggest challenges
  • 83% of B2B marketers use content marketing to drive quality online leads
The market is massive for these programs because it’s so easy listing offers. There’s no real downside for a company to add a pay per lead program to their promotional efforts since they’re only paying out whenever qualified leads are delivered.

Why You Should Promote Pay Per Lead Affiliate Programs and Offers

The biggest reason, if you ask us, is the fun factor. You’re not investing a lot of time trying to create an authority site when promoting specific pay per lead offers. Small, niche sites do fantastic for these promotions – often a single landing page is enough! This lets you continually work on new projects so you are never bored. This is the same when you’re running paid ad campaigns. You can quickly make a landing page for the pay per lead program. Then, get a few ads running. You don’t have a lot of overhead and the simplicity of the campaigns let you optimize them like crazy. Or… You could include pay per lead offers into an authority site since it’s very likely you’ll find a dozen matching your topics and direction. It takes a little tweaking but it’s quite easy adding targeted promotions to content whether that’s through text links or page-specific banner ads. Examples:
  • A post about the best places to eat having a PPL ad for restaurant gift card email submit
  • A post on the Top X gifts for Y and including a PPL offer for a giveaway from a major brand
  • A post about credit reporting with a PPL promotion to a sign up submit for services
You get the idea. The hardest part of promoting pay per lead affiliate programs are how quickly campaigns begin and end. You have many offers appearing for a few days – others may run for months. It all depends on the business budget of the company presenting the offers. This does mean you’ll need to constantly refine and swap pay per lead offers. But: There are new ones constantly added to networks – sometimes this is beneficial because it goes along with market trends – making the promotion oh-so-much easier than stuck promoting programs for brands long since forgotten.

How to Promote the Highest Paying Pay Per Lead Offers and Promotions

There are several avenues one can take in the PPL niche:
  • General blog with PPL offers
  • Recommendation/referral portals
  • Review and aggregate sites
Often, the best way to promote an offer isn’t by your review but through others. Many visitors will feel reviews have a bias to encourage referrals. User-generated content, on the other hand, is authentic because there’s no incentive for the feedback. User stories also aid with:
  • Injecting pages with long-tail keywords
  • Presenting personal stories to create an emotional angle
A good way to encourage user content is by opening the niche site. This includes submission forms for others to leave reviews or comments. It also includes interviewing users or allowing them to post guest blogs through your site. Your second-best option is to become a user. Why? Because you’ll have the experience of using a product or service. This will provide the fine details others won’t know if they’re creating generic reviews. You’re able to create in-depth content answering the deepest concerns with those researching the pay per lead offer. Then add the usual:
  • Social
  • Video
  • Email
… and you’ve got yourself a great combination to make money with pay per lead affiliate programs. Though a bit of fair warning – don’t go overboard with the promotions. The options are near endless (which is quite tempting) but overloading your audience with a constant refresh of offers could prevent your ability to build authority around a core set of offers.

If You Lead Them, Money Will Come

Consider a B2C or B2B business spending thousands of dollars (daily) on advertising and marketing campaigns to drive leads to their products or services. Wouldn’t it make sense to employ third-parties to drive qualified leads vs the generic/shotgun approach? Of course! Pay per lead affiliate programs is a win/win for both parties. The business has the potential to gain a customer with a high lifetime value. The pay per lead affiliate earns a handsome commission with each person acting on an offer. You’ll absolutely love promoting PPL promotions – it gives you high flexibility and a constant stream of challenging (but fun) opportunities. This is, by far, the niche to explore if you love building niche sites.

Online Master's Programs in Emergency Management

FIND PROGRAMS is an advertising-supported site. Featured programs and school search results are for schools that compensate us. This compensation does not influence our school rankings, resource guides, or other information published on this site.
Updated on: 11/22/2018

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), emergency management directors earned a median salary of $72,760 in 2017, nearly twice the median pay for all other occupations in the nation. Emergency management professionals with the highest levels of education, the most years of experience, and positions in the largest companies and government agencies can earn over $141,600 per year.

An online master's in emergency management can equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to take on these lucrative roles. This page offers an overview of the curricula and capstone projects you can expect to encounter during your graduate studies, as well as the careers you can pursue once you've earned your degree. It also provides tips on financing your education.

What Can I Learn in an Online Master’s in Emergency Management Program?

In an online master's in emergency management program, you can expect to take courses in subjects like resource planning and decision making, emergency planning and preparedness, and disaster response and recovery. You can also explore topics applicable outside of emergency management, such as project management, organizational behavior, and corporate communications.

Generally speaking, a master's program in this area requires 30-40 credits. Most full-time students earn their degree in two years, though accelerated tracks allow some students to graduate in 15 months. Part-time students may need up to four years to finish their studies.

At many schools, online programs feature the same faculty and coursework as their on-campus counterparts. The primary difference involves the ease with which you can meet any experiential learning requirements. For example, some programs require students to complete an internship at an emergency management organization, and online students may need to work harder to find an appropriate host site in their local community.

What common courses are offered in a master’s in emergency management program?

Detailed below are five of some of the most commonly offered courses in emergency management programs. Remember, the exact course of study you follow during your master's studies depends on the unique requirements of the school you select and the elective classes you choose to take.

Critical Issues in Emergency Management

In this course, students explore the theories of emergency management to provide a foundation for understanding both natural and human-caused disasters. The class offers an introduction to concepts like risk assessment, the emergency management cycle, and crisis planning. It also covers the general legal and policy framework of emergency management in the U.S.

Risk Assessment, Preparedness, and Disaster Mitigation

Building on the foundation offered in more introductory courses, this class helps students learn to assess an organization's ability to protect human life and physical capital. After conducting this assessment, students learn to how to reduce vulnerabilities through both structural and nonstructural means. The course places particular emphasis on preparing for the special needs of at-risk populations, such as the elderly.

Organizational Management and Leadership

Throughout the broader field of public administration, leaders must know how to manage diverse and complex organizations. By examining and applying various leadership theories and models, students in this course learn about their role as a future leader and how they can most effectively create change within their organization.

Disaster Response and Recovery

This courses focuses on how to meet the most basic human needs in the aftermath of a disaster. For example, students learn how to plan for and direct evacuation and relocation efforts. In addition, they often use case studies to better understand the realities of delivering large amounts of water, food, medicine, and clothing.

Terrorism: Legislation and Policy

Though less likely than natural disasters, emergency management professionals still must prepare for small and large scale acts of terrorism. This course focuses specifically on the history, laws, and policy related to terrorism prevention and response. To culminate the course, students may design a counterterrorism policy that fits within this legal framework.

What exams or projects should I expect?

Many online master's in emergency management programs feature a capstone project. These projects allow students to apply their classroom learning to a practical challenge in disaster planning and response.

For example, a student may partner with a local elementary school to create a series of plans for responding to various natural disasters, such as earthquakes or tornadoes. In close collaboration with their faculty adviser, the student may work with city officials to address structural deficiencies in school buildings or with parents to create a communication plan that can reach the right family members at certain times of day.

Most emergency management master's programs do not require students to complete a research project or write a thesis.

What elective courses are available in a master’s in emergency management program?

To prepare you for unique career paths in emergency management, schools allow students to personalize their course of study through elective classes. Depending on your program, you can expect to take about four or five electives of your choosing, usually in the second half of your graduate studies. The courses detailed below can give you an idea of what to expect in terms of commonly offered elective options.

Climate Change

Climate change threatens both life and property. In this course, students survey the ways in which coastal municipalities, states, and countries attempt to mitigate the effects of climate change and respond to the increasingly more destructive disasters it causes. This elective offers students a broad introduction to climate science and policy.

Geographic Information Systems

Geographic information systems, commonly known as GIS, play an important role in emergency management. While a single class cannot provide sufficient training for students to use complex GIS applications, this course does offer a glimpse at how better access to geographic data can help emergency management professionals plan for and respond to disasters.

Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Emergency Management

Some master's students may want to continue their studies and earn a doctoral degree in emergency management. Doing so requires a strong understanding of research methods, and this course can help students develop skills in data collection, analysis, and presentation. It also explores the ethical considerations of conducting research in the wake of disasters.

What Can I Do With a Master’s in Emergency Management Degree?

A master's in emergency management prepares you for careers leading disaster preparation and response for private organizations and government agencies. You may also apply your organizational behavior and financial planning knowledge to jobs in budget or management analysis. Additionally, individuals with a background in emergency management may qualify to take on high-level leadership roles in local and state government.

If you want to pursue a career in academia, you should consider earning a doctorate in emergency management or a related field. While you can teach at some community colleges with only a master's degree, most four-year universities require a terminal degree.

Emergency Management Director

Emergency management directors create plans and policies to help organizations and communities respond to natural disasters and man-made emergencies. They may also coordinate the efforts of law enforcement, firefighters, public health officials, and volunteers during and immediately following an emergency. Emergency management professionals usually only need a bachelor's degree, but an advanced degree can help give you a competitive edge over other candidates, especially if you do not possess significant professional experience.

Budget Analyst

Budget analysts work with public and private organizations to create budgets, track revenue and expenses, and plan for future financial needs. In the public sector, budget analysts may need to attend committee hearings to request new funding, justify prior expenditures, or show a link between investment and output for a particular government program. If you hope to specialize in budget analysis within an emergency management context, you should take master's-level coursework in finance, accounting, and statistics.

Management Analyst

Management analysts make recommendations to organizations as to how they can more effectively deliver their product or service. Whether working in a full-time position for a single firm or with a variety of clients as a management consultant, these analysts conduct interviews, review financial materials, and gather other information to solve organizational problems and improve efficiency. In government, management analysts may specialize in working with emergency management agencies. Though entry-level positions only require a bachelor's degree, some employers prefer to hire analysts with a master's degree.

Top Executive (Public Sector)

In the public sector, top executives may serve as mayors, city managers, county administrators, or even state governors. These leaders often create budgets, oversee personnel decisions, devise strategies, and work with other senior government officials to provide services and strengthen their community. Especially for localities that must respond to regular natural disasters, such as coastal towns that experience regular hurricanes, an online master's in emergency management can improve your chances of getting a job.

Postsecondary Teacher

Postsecondary teachers instruct students and conduct research at colleges and universities. They often take on significant administrative responsibilities as well, including advising and mentoring students, overseeing the admissions process, and participating in faculty hiring efforts. Some postsecondary teachers may also hold academic leadership roles, creating budgets and shaping curricula within their department. Job seekers may qualify for a teaching position at a community college with just a master's, but most postsecondary teaching roles require a doctoral degree.

Especially for recent emergency management graduates, professional organizations can provide invaluable resources for advancing your career. These groups often organize networking events for their members or offer online or in-person training opportunities. Many organizations also advertise job openings on their website or match young professionals with mentors who can offer advice and guidance.

National Emergency Management Association

NEMA works to enhance public safety by improving the nation's ability to prepare for and respond to emergencies of all kinds. It hosts an annual forum, a career center, and an extensive document library on relevant topics, such as Ebola preparedness.

International Association of Emergency Managers

IAEM represents more than 6,000 emergency management professionals around the world. In addition to organizing regional events and an international conference, the association administers the certified emergency manager credential program.

Disaster Recovery Institute

As a nonprofit organization, DRI provides high-quality training opportunities for emergency management professionals. The group offers a variety of formal certifications in areas like healthcare continuity, public sector continuity, and general risk management.

International Association for Disaster Preparedness and Response

Founded in 1962, DERA serves as a membership organization for professionals and volunteers working in disaster response. It largely acts as a resource sharing association, hosting journal articles and best practice guides on its website.

American Society for Public Administration

Representing individuals working in disparate fields within public administration, ASPA offers many resources of interest to emergency management students and professionals. The society regularly hosts a professional development program for students majoring in public administration or a related field.

How Much Can I Make with a Career in Emergency Management?

In 2017, emergency management directors earned a median salary of $72,760, though those with the highest levels of education and professional experience earned upward of $141,600 in that same year.

Other related fields offer lucrative salaries as well, including budget and management analysis and leadership within the public sector. To qualify for these positions, however, you may need to take specific coursework during your master's studies or even complete a postgraduate certification program.

Job Title Lowest 10% Earned Annually Median Annual Salary Highest 10% Earned Annually Job Growth 2016-2026
Emergency Management Director Less than $38,270 $72,760 More than $141,620 8%
Budget Analyst Less than $49,540 $75,240 More than $113,740 7%
Management Analyst Less than $47,140 $82,450 More than $152,210 14%
Top Executive (Public Sector) Less than $68,110 $104,700 More than $208,000 8%
Postsecondary Teacher Less than $39,040 $76,000 More than $170,160 15%

Source: BLS 2018

The BLS projects that employment for emergency management directors will grow by 8% through 2026, slightly above the average growth rate of all occupations in the economy. While the ongoing need to prepare for and respond to emergencies offers steady job prospects for professionals working in this area, the BLS warns that competition for open positions may increase due to the limited number of jobs and constrained local and state budgets. To help give yourself a competitive edge in the job search, you should consider earning an online master's in emergency management.

An advanced degree can boost your earnings potential as well. According to Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce, individuals with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or fire protection earned a median salary of $54,000 in 2015. Individuals with a master's degree in these areas, however, earned a median salary of $75,000. The same holds true for students majoring in public administration, another closely related field. Individuals with a bachelor's degree earned $62,000, while those with an advanced degree earned $75,000.

Online Master’s in Emergency Management Program Accreditation

By receiving accreditation, a school demonstrates that it meets certain academic standards and can sufficiently prepare its students for careers in their chosen field of study. If you attend an unaccredited school, future employers may not recognize your degree and you may not qualify for all forms of federal financial aid.

When reviewing emergency management programs, make sure that the institutions hold either regional or national accreditation. Most nonprofit schools hold regional accreditation, while vocational and for-profit schools tend to hold national accreditation.

Some programs may additionally hold programmatic accreditation. For example, you may find that some emergency management programs hold accreditation from the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA).

You can check the Council for Higher Education Accreditation's online directory or the ED database to find out if your program holds regional, national, or NASPAA accreditation.

How to Pay for a Master’s in Emergency Management Degree

You can finance your emergency management degree in a variety of ways. You should first determine whether you qualify for federal financial aid. After that, research private scholarships and grants. You may also qualify for tuition discounts from your school or tuition reimbursement from your employer.

  • Federal Financial Aid

    Your first step to securing federal financial aid involves completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly known as the FAFSA. The data you enter here allows the federal government to determine your eligibility for grants, fellowships, work-study opportunities, and low-interest student loans. It also can qualify you for state-level financial aid.

  • Private Scholarships

    Some private organizations offer scholarships to students pursuing degrees in emergency management and related fields. For example, IAEM offers a scholarship to both undergraduate and graduate students. Most awards total around $2,000, and students compete based on academic achievement, community service, and professional aspirations.

  • Graduate Assistantships

    As a graduate student, you may qualify for a work-study opportunity as a graduate assistant or teaching fellow. These positions generally involve supporting a particular professor, often by helping teach classes, grade assignments, advise students, or conduct research. Contact your school or program directly to find out if assistantships are available.

  • Tuition Discounts

    Some schools offer tuition discounts to students in certain demographics. For example, Southern New Hampshire University offers an online master's in emergency management and provides a 25% tuition discount to military service members and their spouses. Other schools or programs may provide discounts to students with demonstrated financial need or exceptional academic performance.

Health-wise, is that a good idea?

Under the right conditions, for the right reasons, probably – if you’re awake to the possible pitfalls.

“A power nap, between 15 and 45 minutes, can improve memory and reduce fatigue for the rest of the day,” said Dr. Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona in Tucson. “If you’re otherwise well rested, that kind of nap can actually boost performance pretty well.”

Some studies even compare the benefits of a midday nap to a cup of coffee, while some companies – including Google and NASA – let workers pencil naptime into their daily schedule.

But the long-term effects of naps are less conclusive.

For example, a 2019 study in the British medical journal Heart tracked the napping habits of nearly 3,500 people over five years and found those who napped once or twice a week were 48% less likely to have a cardiovascular event than those who didn’t. Conversely, a meta-analysis of 11 studies published in the journal Sleep in 2015 showed people who nap for an hour or more a day had 1.82 times the rate of cardiovascular disease than people who didn’t nap.

“We do not know enough about the association of naps with either optimal health or disease risk, especially cardiovascular disease,” said Dr. Clete Kushida, a neurologist and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Stanford University Medical Center in California. “More research needs to be conducted.”

The more urgent health question, both experts say, is why you’re taking that nap.

“If you’re napping because it helps you get through the day, that’s probably a good thing,” Grandner said. “But if you’re napping because you just can’t stay awake, that’s a sign that there’s some underlying health issue. You’re either not getting enough sleep at night or your sleep quality could be very poor.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates one-third of U.S. adults don’t get enough sleep – at least seven hours per night is the standard recommendation – and warns that the risks include heart disease, diabetes, obesity and depression. Even the weary who appear to have slept long enough may have sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder where breathing is frequently interrupted.

“If an individual has significant daytime sleepiness leading to inadvertent or spontaneous naps, it usually indicates sleep quantity or sleep quality issues,” Kushida said. If the sleep time seems adequate, he urges an evaluation “for sleep disorders and/or medical diseases.”

The ideal nap, Kushida and Grandner agree, shouldn’t last too long.

“You don’t want to get into a deep stage of sleep,” Grandner said. “If you’ve ever woken up from a nap that was too long, you know it because you feel miserable and groggy.”

Napping too long during the day, Kushida added, can disrupt overall sleep patterns. “It’s generally recommended to maximize sleep at night,” he said.

Grandner said the exception might be if someone occasionally doesn’t sleep enough at night and needs to recoup during the day.
“I call that the sleep replacement nap,” he said. “College students do it a lot. They stay up at night, but then they nap a few hours during the day. That’s not an ideal solution, but it’s not terrible, either.”

Lying down for a nap or laying your head on the desk might be a good time to reflect on the importance of sleep.

“We live in a culture that doesn’t necessarily value sleep,” Grandner said. “We need to stop talking about it as unproductive time, and to stop admiring people who brag about how little sleep they think they need.

“The scientific evidence is there,” he said. “Sleep is a foundational part of our biology, like diet and physical activity. We need to take care of it.”

UK milk price continues its upward trend

A number of the major dairy companies in the UK have moved to increase the October farm-gate milk price.

Companies such as Dairy Crest, Arla Foods and First Milk have all increased the October milk price paid to their suppliers by between 1-2p/L, following some recovery in the dairy markets.

Dairy Crest has announced a 1.5p/L milk price rise which will be phased out over two months from October 1.

An 1p/L increase will come into effect from October 1 and a further 0.5c/L will be applied on November 1.

Head of Procurement with Dairy Crest, Ruth Askew, said the price rise follows inflation across dairy markets and a fall in milk volumes.

Dairy Crest Direct Chairman Steve Bone also said the increases in October and November recognise the company’s quick response to improving dairy markets.

Another UK-based dairy company, First Milk, has also announced that it will increase the milk price paid to its suppliers during the month of October by 2p/L, making it the largest monthly increase since 2007.

The company’s Chairman Clive Sharpe said that the October increase is the fourth consecutive monthly milk price rise.

The increase reflects both the improved market returns and the accelerating improvements in our own business.

“Due to the changes made over the last 18 months we are now able to pass market moves directly onto members and this has resulted in a 1p/L increase for October.

“In addition our improved internal business efficiency has allowed us to deliver a further 1p/L of the Business Performance Supplement that we committed to pay earlier this year,” he said.

The dairy processor is also forecasting that its milk price will continue to rise in the coming months as Sharpe said the outlook is positive and prices could hit 25c/L.

Arla Foods has also announced that it will be increasing its October milk price by 2c/L from October 1.

Arla Foods amba Board Director, Johnnie Russell said that the October milk price rise is good news for farmers as the markets are beginning to show signs of improving.

Commodity markets, as well as yellow cheese markets in Europe, are continuing to strengthen, and prices across European retail markets also continue to firm.

“Milk production in the EU continues to slow down, and we expect this trend to carry on over the coming months,” he said.

Efficient Search for Robust Solutions by Means of Evolutionary Algorithms and Fitness Approximation

Veröffentlicht: 2006 August

Journal: IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation

Volume: 10

For many real-world optimization problems, the robustness of a solution is of great importance in addition to the solution's quality. By robustness, we mean that small deviations from the original design, e.g., due to manufacturing tolerances, should be tolerated without a severe loss of quality. One way to achieve that goal is to evaluate each solution under a number of different scenarios, and use the average solution quality as fitness. However, this approach is often impractical, because the cost for evaluating each individual several times is unacceptable. In this paper, we present a new and efficient approach to estimating a solution's expected quality and variance. Basically, we propose to construct local approximate models of the fitness function, and then use these approximate models to estimate expected fitness and variance. Based on a variety of test function, we demonstrate empirically that our approach significantly outperforms the implicit averaging approach as well as the explicit averaging approaches using existing estimation techniques reported in the literature.

Imagine these at your home.

Your kitchen cabinet displays the weather forecast and traffic before you step out of the door.

Any white wall can be turned into a movie screen whenever you feel like watching a movie…

All these above have been realized by Ai Living and

their cutting edge product technology.

At Sept 28 – 30 Home Show,

Ai Living caught many’s attention and was one of the most popular participants.

What’s the magic that Ai living spell?

Let’s find out why.

As an interior design platform that provides “one-stop” all inclusive service,

Ai Living surprised potential clients with their complete kitchen set.

It has 3 main characteristics that makes it stands out in the market against its counterparts.

Firstly, it is its all inclusiveness.

Ai Living is known for its “one stop” service – client being able to pick the design,

materials and have renovation accomplished all at one place.

This kitchen set strictly follows this philosophy.

The set is designed based on a size of a 20 feet kitchen and package is all inclusive –

including EVERYTHING except the appliance.

The table surface is constructed with Canadian natural rock.

The handle is crafted under high end designer Pomelli’s design – clean and elegant.

This creatively designed kitchen set

Orig. CAD $12,999

Only CAD $9,999 for Home Show Guests!

Secondly, it is its uniqueness.

Most kitchen cabinet designs available in Toronto are in the style of classical.

Ai Living’s kitchen cabinet was

the only one with the modern design at the home show.

Its uniqueness immediately attracted lots of attention and favour.

Thirdly, its intelligent home solution.

Ai Living can assist clients to connect home appliance to cellular phones,

so clients can remotely control appliance simply using their own cellphones.

For example,

You can cook coffee with the use of cellphone when they are in bed in the early morning.

For another example, warming up the oven without physically being at home.

Ai Living also had the following 2 new products – lavatory and stand-along shoe cabinet.

One is a design for lavatory.

The other is a shoe cabinet.

Some might think that these might not play significant roles in their daily life.

But its unique and creative design will surprise you.

The lavatory is a special design by Ai Living for this show.

The table top is made of quartz.

In AiLiving’s showroom, there are 6 other styles just for lavatory.

All of these packages includes tiling, wall design, LED smart mirror and spot lights etc.,

bringing up the texture, elegance and taste.

Along with the design,

the building materials and renovation can be brought home together,

only at the cost of $4888 CAD.

Next is the stand-along shoe cabinet.

A smart device is built in the cabinet and home owner can talk to the device and

get to know the weather and traffic etc.,

Besides, it only has a built-in deodorizing and drying device, keeping the room fresh and clean.

Ai Living’s philosophy is integrating latest technology with the everyday household living.

Currently they are developing and researching their brand on smart home furniture.

Besides all the above, Ai Living presented several thoughtful small tech devices.

For example,

a clear film that sticks to the window glass can be switched to a solid white colour,

blocking sunlights and safeguarding privacy.

Another one was a smart projector,

allowing movie screening on any white walls anytime anywhere.

Decoration will no longer be trivial.

Housekeeping will no longer be boring with AiLiving.

During the show, AiLiving had received great attention.

More than 200 guests expressed their desire to follow AiLiving.

Dozens of guests signed with AiLiving on the spot.

In order to express gratitude to clients’ support,

AiLiving will still honour the discount even after the show for those who left their contact information during show!
