Question #1:
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF...?
do you answer this question? Let give examples as such: i,e,"I'm an experienced communications specialist with extensive knowledge of public information tools and techniques. I've developed comprehensive communication plans for major public events, written dozens of articles accepted by worldwide publications, and created specialized educational programs for adults and students. I am always eager to learn new methods and procedures, and have implemented continuous improvement techniques in my past positions that saved money and increased productivity. I like working with people and enjoy group projects, but am also a self-starter who doesn't mind working on my own. I'm a volunteer with the local chapter of Special Olympics and enjoy participating in community events. My goals are to complete my Master's Degree and broaden my experiences with community relations."
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY???
MILTON, Wow thanks, I thought I had done extensive research on that particular question, but what you noted makes sense...my only ? We were always told not to mention sex, marriage etc.. thank you I will approach that ? next time more practical..
Question #2:
Does my university have the right to NOT let me back into school because...?
**LEGAL ASSESSMENT PLEASE**I had a slip-up back in January while living in my university's dorms, I was very drunk and I was attempting to cut myself (not kill myself) to deal with an issue I was facing at the time. It was stupid, I know, but it was ONE night of taking it a little too far and I would never do it again. I was taken to the hospital by my friend and was admitted into psychiatric care because I was so drunk and incoherent. My college found out about the incident (not by the hospital, by a roommate) and they expelled me from living in campus housing. The school proceeded to ensure that I would not be let out of the psychiatric care unit I was admitted into until my parents came to get me...they live in Sweden. So as my parents scrambled to get a flight which took 14 days, I had NO choice but to stay in the psych care unit, with seriously mentally ill people for 14 days. I did not belong there (even a nurse said she sees no point of me being here) I was so confused why the school was making me do this without even talking to me. Eventually my parents came from Sweden and the hospital was (by my college's orders) free to discharge me.
The college proceeded to say that the only way I would be allowed back into school and be able to enroll in classes is if I completed a 3 month rehabilitation program. I hesitantly obliged to their requirement and was shipped to London to the rehab program for 3 months. In the duration of my stay there, the counselors worked with me very closely and said that I made great improvements with my self-esteem issues. However, after the 3 months, when it was time to write my evaluation letter to my college, my counselors had NO say in what was being written about my progress and instead, the owner of the rehab program (whom I met twice) wrote the evaluation. It was absolutely terrible, as he wrote about my progress based off of guesses with little to no solid facts about our various weekly meetings, it was vague and basically said that I made no progress. I don't know why he did that, and as much as I fought it, that was the letter of evaluation that they sent to my college. I was infuriated that my personal counselors had no say in the letter, so I wrote a letter of my own to the college explaining my story and time there. My dad called them and said that the rehab's letter of evaluation had to be unacceptable, as there was no solid facts and there was no weight of merit in the letter. The college finally replied and said that they will disregard the letter, BUT upon my return I have to live in a tertiary care facility/ a 12-step home/ a nursing home for the duration of my time at the university, 3 years. This is exactly what they require:
Upon your return, you will:
1. Voluntarily enter a 12 step supported living residence while you are here in NY and enrolled at The New School.
2. See a therapist on a weekly basis, and a nutritionist and psychiatrist on a regular basis/as needed, while you are enrolled at The New School. You will need to give them permission to speak with us so that we can verify that you are attending (we will not ask for disclosure of specific information from them -- only that you are attending/participating in a sufficient manner).
3. Check in with both my office and Academic Advising. Please contact us to schedule meetings upon your return to New York.
If you fail to meet these conditions at any point, you will not be able to attend classes and the Student Support Hold will be placed back on your account.

I feel this whole thing has some major legal inconsistencies from day one, especially the above requirement. However, the requirement of my living in a nursing home for 3 years cannot be of value. They are bribing me with my education. They never said that a requirement for me to re-enter the college was to live in a sober home when I return from the 3-month stay in rehab. IF they DID say that the requirement to re-enter college is that I go to rehab for 3 months AND live in a nursing home when I get back for three years, I would understand that and move on. BUT THEY NEVER SAID THAT WAS A REQUIREMENT. THEY REQUIRED ME TO GO TO REHAB FOR 3 MONTHS AND THAT IS WHAT I DID. They keep adding requirements without mentioning them beforehand--how can I face this ultimatum without knowing what my options were?! It's like signing a lease for an apartment that is listed for $1500/month, then I sign the lease, and right after I sign the lease, they tell me that the apartment is actually $3000/month and since the lease is signed, I have to pay it.
I just don't see under WHAT TERMS should I be required to live in that nursing home? I just want to live in my own apartment. DOES MY UNIVERSITY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THAT OF ME WHEN IT WAS NEVER STATED BEFORE?

Question #6:
could someone review my essay and give me a review?
Help I need some to review my essay.Client Issues, Approaches and Gaps
There are several issues that are facing our consumers at Mental Health Kokua. One of the major issues is for the consumers who are suffering from such illness of schizophrenia, Bi-Polar and nomadic-depression the decline of coverage for medicine and services that were previously covered under med quest. Decline in economy has put a lot of these consumers in dire straight, where to get these services and who can they rely on to fill the gap of no medical coverage for medication.
Due to changes in medical coverage many consumers are no longer able to get those services met. Changes in med-quest deny many consumers of Mental Health Kokua the use of services that are provided at our facility. Today they have no coverage and Mental Health Kokua is seeking to get services for the consumers in there program. Many are still receiving basic needs meet from the agency, such as food, clothing, some sort of housing assistance and help on medication, through Kahi Holomua. Community based case manager with the help of Adult Mental Health Kokua was able to assist these client.
The closing of MHK (Mental Health Kokua) homeless outreach was a major blow to the consumers who are houseless with a severe mental health issue. Many of them used our service to get connected to a psychiatric, finding a bed for a night, assisting in getting some medical attention in regards to sores and infections. The outreach services was the connection to reaching out to those who did not have transportation or unable to come to our door to receive mental health services.
Another is helping the consumer and some of the case managers address the issue of chemical dependency. Many consumers with mental health issues use substance abuse in order to self-medicate themselves, when not doing to well managing there prescribed medications many consumers use substance to feel better. The agency offers various training to the staff one is through Kahi Holomua’s, supervisor Ann Lang teaching them various techniques in identifying clients that are self-medicating themselves through alcohol or illicit drugs. Having these classes or training is making the case manager more efficient in there attempts to help the consumer become social, and productive in there community and contribute to resilience in there own recovery. Empowers the client to be successful in there recovery to live an independent life and manage there medication with a better understanding of the illness and not the self.
Finding community activities that are culturally informative has been an issue. Cultural can be a major issue, being that mental health has never been the norm of many cultural but the staff of Kahi Holomua does a wide variety of functions in the community that keeps the cultural aspect alive. Many activities are based around cultural information we attend arts shows at Maui Art and Cultural Center. Visit museums, walk around in the whaling town of Lahaina, visit the petting zoo in Haiku, and taro patches. Many of our consumers have never been to these places or some have vivid memories of living in that area that we visit. We also attend “Brown Bag”, it is an informative lunch event, and we bring our own lunch. They have a wide variety of topics that are discussed at the presentation Bipolar Illness, Eating Disorder, Postpartum Depression, and Teen Suicide. This event is open to the public, mental health consumers, and families.
In conclusion, MHK works tirelessly advocating for the client improvement, treatment and care on a daily basis with consumers with mental health issues. There maybe some gaps that I could have over looked. MHK still reaches out to those who are at need of there services. Dealing with the issue is only part of the problem helping the consumer is the goal of self-determination, empowering and building socialization instead of isolation. Having the client looking at themselves and not the disorder is the focus that MHK maintains.
Question #7:
Want to start a self improvement program free?
I dont know where to start anyone have any ideasQuestion #8:
Please read and critique?
I posted this a few days ago, but I added more to it. I would also like to somehow note my respect for other philosophers but I don't know how to begin...I would appreciate harsh critique!
A meaningful philosophy should be one whose objective is to edify its pupils. It should be uplifting, inspiring, and applicable to daily life.
Although I am not well-versed in philosophy, as I am only in the rudimentary stage of my education, I have found that, at least for myself, the most useful philosophies have come from Philosophers such as Lao-Tzu, Buddha, and Socrates, just to name a few. Their wisdom has proven to withstand the test of time; they were true ‘lovers of wisdom’. They asked great questions and provided powerful answers.
This spiritual philosophy has affected how I look at every aspect of life. Isn’t that how it should to be? Every day that I wake up is a new opportunity to improve myself, to apply the teachings of these great teachers. I look at each day as ‘Life practice’, a fresh opportunity to cultivate a new quality in myself, until it becomes my true nature; Qualities such as patience, kindness, forgiveness, non-judgment, etc. It’s a noble battle indeed. What philosophy could be more meaningful than those of self-improvement? Life is, as Henry David Thoreau put it, “An experiment untried by me.” There are far too many complacent souls who wander the earth like robots programmed by society, myself included. After all, unlearning 20 years of programming is no easy task.
In this vast universe, on this dust speck of a planet, the minds of its people become encapsulated by false beliefs thus making them blind to the truth that surrounds them. Isn’t it funny how most every human being feels that the universe revolves around him? Who is right? All of them? None of them? What makes us so selfish? Are we born with it, or is it learned? Who is the teacher, and how can we stop him? With all of the wise teachers throughout history, why does evil prevail? History has repeated itself time and time again; yet, we continue to make the same mistakes. As for me, with hard work and determination, I hope to escape these patterns by applying their wisdom to my every day life:
In the ‘Tao Te Ching’, Lao-Tzu said, “Learning consists of daily accumulating; the practice of Tao consists in daily diminishing. Keep on diminishing and diminishing, until you reach the state of non-ado. Non-ado, and yet nothing is left undone. To win the world, one must renounce all. If one still has private ends to serve, one will never be able to win the world.” Before diminishing is even possible, however, one must first be able to let go of what is being diminished. Otherwise, you will be worse off than when you started. Letting go is a great feeling, but only if you are willing and ready.
We are not just talking about getting rid of things, but rather, more importantly, we are talking about our attachment to things, and not just our attachment to things, but people, thoughts, ideas, emotions… even our own identities that we have worked so hard on. And as a result of getting rid of said attachments, we are free of desires, we are free of “private ends to serve”, as Lao-Tzu put it. We can genuinely do for other people, as we have no ulterior motives. That, in and of itself could abolish selfishness. How much better would this world be if altruism were a common quality shared among all people?
Lao-Tzu also speaks very highly of virtue. He mentions it many times in the ‘Tao Te Ching’, he speaks of it as though it were a kind of shield, protecting you from the dangers and evils of the world. Speaking of virtue, it reads, “Wasps and poisonous serpents do not sting it, nor fierce beasts seize it, nor birds of prey maul it. Its bones are tender, its sinews soft, but its grip is firm.”
“Know thyself”, said Socrates. Know thyself; what does he mean? He also believed that the life of your soul is more important than the life of your body and that ignorance is the root of all evil, or, more precisely, no one knowingly does evil. Perhaps understanding what he means by “know thyself”, we could further understand the other two concepts. I do not claim to know exactly what Socrates meant, however, I do have my own personal interpretation; understanding who we are, in turn, gives us a better understanding of good and evil. So, who are we? We are, in essence, our “soul”, and what exactly is the soul? Our conscious awareness. Not necessarily our thoughts and desires, but the awareness behind our thoughts and desires. If we fail to recognize this awareness, then we fail to recognize many things. We cannot discern between good and evil; therefore, if we do that which is looked upon as evil, we are doing so unknowingly. On the other hand, if we are in alignment with this awareness, we not only wouldn’t, but we couldn’t do that which is harmful to our souls, and to the souls of others.
I believe that us people do the best we can. We do what we
Here is the part that got cut off:
I believe that us people do the best we can. We do what we know, and if we know better, then we do better; it’s really that easy. I know it’s hard to believe after witnessing seemingly intelligent people make very unintelligent decisions, but even the most education person in the world is not necessarily wise. Education does not always make the wise man. Wisdom is understanding the truth of who we are, as we have already discussed.
Question #9:
Please read and tell me your honest opinion?

I agree that Buddha and Lao-Tzu are not necessarily philosophers, however, we do learn about them in class which is why I chose to include them.

Does love blossom in PhD programs? Or is everyone already married?
I am 31 yrs old. I have a BA and an MA. And its hard to meet women outside of bars (not my scene). Meeting women in school was relatively easy (at least in comparison to everywhere else). But now that I've been out for 3 yrs, its not so easy.I am always up for self improvement so I was thinking about going for my PhD. Is this a good way to meet women? Are they likely already married? Would I be better off just going back for another Masters?

Question #13:
Failed In Love 3 times?
I'm a 24 yr old guy from Mumbai and am into business ever since the past 7 years. Well when i was around 17 yrs old i joined merchant navy and qualified as a second office on board and then started my business. 7 years ago I had an american girl friend who was suffering from Cerebral Palsy and she could barely move around and i made sure that when she was in india everything best would be right at the moment. I did all the therapies for her possible and there was a major improvement that one could see. She started walking for atleast 15 mins a day with a limp and could also move out of the house freely. Months down the lane there was an excellent improvement in her and her fingers and hands opened up and she could write better too. Well alot of people told me that i am not doing a good thing by engaging my self with a girl like that. However my thinking was that human is a human and there's no doubt about it. So i got engaged to that girl and we were living in Mumbai. Well according to our Indian customs we believe that we're not allowed to (have sex / make out) before marriage and that is what i was following. So we never made out and didnt even talk about sex. One day i took her out to clubbing with my friends whom she knew very well. In the club i really didnt realize what was going on in her mind. She got me slaushed with drinks and also made me consume 3 erection tablets saying that those were paracetamols. When I got back home i was knocked out. The next day morning what i find is that she had made out with me while i was asleep and least did i realize that it really had happened. When i asked her why did she do this, her reply was that you never satisfy me and couldnt even do me well. I was in a shocked state and consulted my friend who's a doctor. She told me that people who have Celebral Palsy have hormones which are much stronger than anyother and hence this might be the case. So i accepted it and requested her not to do it again. The story took a turn when she broke her promise and asked me to live with her in United States Of America, cause i'd told her that i cannot leave my business and come to US. Well she quit this relationship and backed off. That was an ADIOS to my first relationship where in i knew this girl for 8 long years. I was single and stayed unsearching until 1yr 2 months back when i found another girl who came to know about my life through one of my closest friends. We met each other and decided to get married. Our parents opposed the relationship and even then we got married in the court of law. Two months after marriage when we made out my wife tells me the same thing that i cannot satisfy her and that i should hunt for another women and not divorce her. My f****ng shit i really didnt have no words when she said such a thing. Ever since that day, i mean ever since a year there is a fight. My business schedules are so tight that i get to sleep only on Saturday's and Sunday's, and just to mess out with me she'll purposely turn out loud music all over the house and start bang crash. I cannot even divorce her as 49% of all my market shares and property is on her name single handed and unconvertible. Well i've seeked for attorney help through the High Court but i do not think anything will happen for the next 4 years. Now recently i got in touch with another girl on a chat server programme and she lives around 600-700 miles away from me. I told her about my situation and also that i was looking around for a person who could really understand my situation and could be with me in all ways. It so happened out that somehow our views and ideas matched and both our feelings matched. In just 3 hours of our conversation on the internet i thought that honestly she's the right one. Though she didnt completely agree with our relationship we just said "lets forget about what the confusion is and lets carry on".Now 7 months back i had a massive heart attack due to the pressure and another mild stroke 3 months ago. I'm under no influence of alcohol, cigg's or drugs. Yesterday, i.e. February 13th 2010, i recieved a message from her on my cell phone saying that we cannot continue this relationship and that we can be good friends. Well at that very same moment i was in a shock again and my blood pressure went extremely low. I had a telephonic conversation with her and she said that we've to stop it there. Again i was taken to the hospital in the morning and was given tranqulizers and all god knows what, but i demanded to be home. Even now i'm just pretending that i like her as my friend but am just not able to give it up. At times i feel suicidal but then i wonder what would my parents do without me. Without her i feel like a looser. I feel that someone taking away my part of oxygen and i feel breathless. Even now i'm on Saline and glucose as i'm typing this. But i'm seriously unable to understand what do i do. All i know is that i cannot go against her free will and her parents wish and force he
her to do stuff. That isnt me.
I just dont know what to do.
Looking out for serious replies.
Good Luck N' God Bless You All

Questions for people who believe in and know about the metaphysical properties of crystals?

I understand that a clear quartz crystal is supposed to do everything the other colors can do and that they can be 'programmed'. I just need to know 'how' to do this things. Where can I find this information online? Or if you could recommend some good books that explains these things. It would help a lot, thanks.Question #15:

Question #17:
Is Washington D.C. Schools "Chancellor" Michelle Rhee doing anything except self promotion?
Her comment that she will "crush" any laws or regulations that are in the way of her agenda sounds like it sends the wrong message to all students no matter what phony testing program they use to show improvement.She comes across as just another glib self-promoter who is after the main chance and has no values other than that.
Question #18:
I'm giving my kid her toys back, how should I explain why without it sounding like she's off the hook?
Over a month ago, we took away ALL my 8 yr old daughters toys (she has a bed & clothes), we also took away all time for TV/video games and computer games. And set up a program where she was supposed to earn her toys back with good behavior, but it just completely bombed. And I hate to just give in, but I think we need to go a different route. She's bored, and I honestly feel like that's why she's getting into even more trouble than before.We still are going to limit her TV/video game/computer time. Because in just this time we've seen improvements in her creativity, and she's more active about going out with friends. She used to be so bad that if she was playing a game on the computer and her friend came over, she'd go over and tell them she "couldn't" play today...basically picking the computer over going out. Which was really starting to bother me.
I just don't want her to take getting her toys back as her not having to correct her self (lying, stealing, tantrums).
2 cents please?
Sorry let me explain...we didn't just take them away just because. She was supposed to earn them back by not lying, or throwing tantrums etc. But she never did, almost everyday she'd do something and not earn a toy back.
So at this point, we're figuring this route was not the way to go, because its not working. and her toys are just sitting in our shed doing nothing.
So basically what I'm saying, is even if she was good in the morning, (meaning she could get a toy), by the night she'd have decided to do something like draw on the walls with marker (she's 8 by the way). So we'd just end up taking the toy away again.

Question #20:
Arrogant Selfish Know-it-All Mother in Law!?
I honestly don’t know what possesses MIL to continue her bullshit about our son being autistic. It’s like she’s trying to convince us that he is. I am half tempted to take him to Community Mental Health. Simply because it will be a while before we can get him into the U of M Child Psych place.It is really beyond me that she doesn’t trust us or believe us when we tell her that he’s not autistic. This really makes me think even more that she doesn’t think we are capable parents. She is so stuck on the fact that she is right that she isn’t willing to see anything but her own opinion. She thinks that she knows so much when she really doesn’t see our son that often. She boasts about her experience as a parent but doesn’t even believe that my mom is right when she found out that my mom worked around autistic kids for almost 20 years; she discredited my mom’s experience but her own is so much more special? My mom has more experience with kids than she does because of the number of cousins I have; plus the fact that we all grew up in a relatively close circle and the friends that my brother and I had growing up. I’m really starting to think that she is not just selfish but also an arrogant know-it-all witch. She complains that we need to get our son checked out NOW, and it just doesn’t work that way. Autism is not a medical emergency and no pediatrician or psychologist is going to treat it that way- EVEN IF THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THERE- WHICH THEY DON’T. His pediatrician checks him regularly and even told me our son isn't autistic.
She mentioned to my husband that our son was flapping his hands. He flaps his hands and arms when he’s excited, or is doing that to communicate that he wants out of his high chair, or even to get my attention. We see it as body language- a form of expression; not something that he doesn't have control of. My MIL doesn’t realize that autistic disorder is largely a social developmental disorder. So a child that will look you in the eye and be affectionate (like our son) simply does not have the “marker” signs of the disorder.
We recently started a sleep learning program that I designed. The CD includes classical music and phonics sounds. My husband asked her if she noticed that our son was using his voice more. She said that she did but he's just making sounds he's not saying anything. So that’s not good enough because he’s not saying anything? He has made such a big improvement. Before he was very quiet and didn't use his voice much at all. I hate to think that my son’s Grandmother doesn’t think that even profound progress inn such a short period of time isn’t good enough. It makes me worry about how she will impact his self-esteem. He’s trying, he’s making progress, and he’s not just going to start spitting out words overnight. It’s a step by step process. Why isn’t that good enough? It should be!
We don’t hear anything positive from her about our. The fact that she blamed me and our son about him not wanting to play with another child and she NEVER mentioned this child’s behavior as being a social “turn off” really is starting to concern me. Why does she fault him and me when it’s not warranted? Why doesn’t she recognize his progress as a good thing? How much attention does she really give him when she’s around him? Does she just watch him and try to play with him or does she try to get to know him?
I really just can’t stand the fact that she thinks she knows my son better than me. That boy is like his momma and there is no one that is going to understand him better. It’s like with me and my Dad when he was alive- we genuinely understood each other and the motives behind our individual behavior. I just don’t understand how this woman can assume so much when she only sees our son once a month. She tells me, “I know my son,” when she’s talking about my husband; I don’t really think she does as well as she thinks she does. But that works for her but not for me? She definitely doesn’t know our son as well as I do; I wish she would just realized that spending 5- 10 hours with him in a month, or even two days with him in a month is not enough for her to really know who he is and provides her with the knowledge to make all these assumptions about his behavior. Then to bog my husband and me down with her so called “help” when she is really just making it worse for both of us. SHE IS NOT OUR SON'S MOTHER- I AM. It really seems like this fact escapes her.
I want to slap her in the face to wake her up!!!! How do we get through to this woman?
Thanks squirm666- I think that's exactly what I need to do!!!
