'That's Kia Nurse!' From a household of excessive achievers, the face of girls's basketball in Canada
The curly-haired 12-year-old on the fringe of the tunnel has traveled 2 1/2 hours on a college evening for an opportunity to fulfill her hero. As the Toronto Raptors heat up on the courtroom at Scotiabank Arena and 1000's of followers discover their seats, Annalise Verbruggen waits at part 105-A along with her father, Kevin.
They left early from St. Thomas, in southwestern Ontario, to achieve Toronto nicely earlier than tip-off realizing that the window, if any, could be transient. An usher walks over to the TSN broadcast crew arrange on a perch overlooking the courtroom, ensuring they're conscious of the fan who has come all this manner.
Kia Nurse sits on a stool between broadcasters Kayla Grey and Leo Rautins, bantering by way of highlights of the Raptors' star sophomore Scottie Barnes throughout TSN's dwell pregame present. Grey requires the management room to run again a spotlight of Barnes dunking on two Chicago Bulls.
"One more time, just for Leo," Nurse says. "So he can use this in his next pickup game."
Rautins, the 62-year-old veteran Raptors commentator, is a prepared goal amongst his millennial colleagues. The former Team Canada participant and head coach absorbs the jabs freely because the previous man on set. He believes he sits beside the way forward for Canadian basketball commentary in 26-year-old Nurse.
"Have you been dunked on?" Rautins asks Nurse.
"No," she laughs. "I get out of the way."
"Leo's face lets you know he's been dunked on quite a few times," Grey says, as they lower to business.
Verbruggen and her father wait by way of your complete half-hour pregame present for an opportunity to sneak in a fast assembly with Nurse. She wore a Pascal Siakam jersey, however her favourite is the Team Canada No. 5 Nurse jersey she has at residence. The St. Thomas Shock level guard — who mimics the bruising however cerebral fashion of her idol — had hoped to fulfill Nurse throughout a visit to Chicago when the Phoenix Mercury have been enjoying the Sky, however they weren't in a position to attain her.
As the announcement of the Raptors beginning lineup blasts over the world audio system, Nurse shouts to introduce herself to Verbruggen, who fiddles along with her fingers nervously. It's a quick interplay and Verbruggen says little past hi there, along with her father filling within the blanks. Nurse pulls her shut for a photograph and the tween beams ecstatically.
It occurs usually, normally youthful children who discover Nurse in entrance of the digital camera and wish to say hi there. It's been taking place since she rose to nationwide fame because the 19-year-old star of the Canadian nationwide crew, the place she scored 33 factors in opposition to a powerhouse United States crew to win gold on the 2015 Pan Am Games. She went on to win back-to-back NCAA championships with the UConn Huskies earlier than turning into a WNBA All-Star.
In an period full of Canadian basketball expertise, Nurse has turn out to be one in every of a number of well-known northern faces of the sport. In girls's basketball, particularly, Nurse is the beacon for youth wanting towards a beforehand uncharted path to a life and profession within the sport. For most of her WNBA colleagues meaning enjoying abroad in the course of the offseason to make life work financially. But Nurse's rising profile as an on-air analyst has allowed her to stay residence, serving to construct the game for the subsequent technology of Canadian expertise.
After the Raptors' victory over the Houston Rockets, Nurse walks down the aisles towards the courtroom for a postgame hit. Several followers double-take as she passes amid the movement towards the exit.
A few middle-aged followers in Kyle Lowry and Siakam jerseys cease and ask to take a selfie along with her. Another man nudges a good friend, excitedly.
"Oh, whoa," he says. "That's Kia Nurse!"
None of this was attainable within the creativeness of the 10-year-old lady watching her older sister play for the University of Oregon. Tamika Nurse was the head of what Kia hoped for in basketball. Tamika, 9 years older, represented Canada on the junior nationwide crew and earned a U.S. school scholarship.
Basketball was a way to an finish, Tamika says. Growing up, the aim was to get a free schooling at an ideal college by way of the game after which get a job. The cash being supplied within the WNBA didn't examine to beginning a profession after school.
Nurse idolized her sister, usually to the purpose of annoyance. She took out her aggressive drive, a Nurse household trait, on her brother, Darnell. He was drawn to hockey and lacrosse. She was all in on soccer and basketball. But when it got here to the inevitable conflict of siblings, Kia took particular be aware of her victories, whether or not in a make-shift recreation of sofa-cushion soccer within the household's residence in Hamilton, or at cross-country meets the place — as famous at school bulletins — the extra athletically gifted sister raced to the end line whereas Darnell lumbered to the modest center. Playing basketball on the neighbor's roll-out web was little competitors. Darnell was lanky in his youth, having but to develop into his physique, and he lacked the pure athletic talent his youthful sibling possessed.
Both labored onerous, although. In the Nurse household that was a given. Richard and Cathy Nurse raised their children inside the classes sports activities present. Richard was a former large receiver for the Hamilton Tiger Cats, although in his thoughts he by no means fairly accepted the "former" designation. To today, in his mid-50s, he'll problem anybody in his household to a 40-yard sprint. Cathy was a degree guard for the McMaster Marauders, recognized for her bodily play.
As mother and father, they have been coaches and chauffeurs. Richard would rush residence from his job in Toronto on weeknights, change from his go well with and tie into his sweats, and run Kia's basketball practices. Cathy drove the wrong way, ensuring Darnell arrived on time for his hockey practices and video games in Toronto's GTHL. The mother and father would collapse close to midnight earlier than waking as much as do all of it once more.
They set a excessive customary for his or her kids, who have been usually advised if that they had underperformed on the courtroom or on the ice — and couldn't play in any respect if their grades slipped at college. If they needed to be nice, Richard advised his children, they needed to sacrifice issues like events or going to the mall.
"We were about accountability in our house," Richard says. "We never gave them an out. … You couldn't come to me and say it was the coach's fault or it was the teacher's fault."
Everything needed to be earned within the Nurse family, together with buckets on that neighbor's web, the place Kia and Darnell would battle Richard and Tamika in epic showdowns whereas Cathy litigated disputes over low-cost foul calls from the porch. It's an upbringing for which all three siblings say they're immensely grateful.
"There's nothing in this world that's given to you, no matter how you're brought up," says Darnell. "I'm very appreciative of the way that our parents showed us so much love and support and at the same time, held us accountable and held us to a high standard from a young age."
Kia emerged as one of many high younger basketball abilities within the nation in her teenagers, simply as Darnell rose by way of hockey's elite ranks, transferring away from residence at 16 to affix the OHL's Sault Greyhounds. At the identical age, Kia was invited to camp for the Canadian nationwide crew, touring across the globe to compete in locations comparable to China, Turkey and Mexico to signify her nation on the courtroom.
As each excelled of their sports activities, it was clear to Kia that there was a cap on her journey that merely didn't exist for her brother. A high prospect, he was on his technique to a profession as an NHL defenseman. Her aim was a free schooling — no small feat in a household that prizes teachers. Nurse dreamed of the Final Four and world championships, however she knew a profession in basketball would require monumental private sacrifice.

Donovan McNabb was driving to apply for the women' softball crew he coaches in Arizona when he answered a involved name from a good friend.
"Is Kia all right?"
McNabb had missed the beginning of his niece's playoff recreation with the Phoenix Mercury in opposition to the Las Vegas Aces and hadn't seen her land awkwardly on a layup try and fall to the bottom 40 seconds into the primary quarter, clutching her proper knee. The recreation broadcast lower to business as Kia was helped off the courtroom. McNabb's spouse, Raquel — a former star level guard with the Syracuse Orange and Richard Nurse's sister — was within the stands. She and Nurse's boyfriend, John Robinson, relayed no matter data they discovered about her scenario to McNabb and different relations.
As involved faces hovered over her within the Mercury locker room, Nurse already knew that she'd torn her ACL.
Based on what he'd heard, McNabb knew it too — and he knew what it meant. The six-time NFL Pro-Bowl quarterback tore his ACL midway by way of the Philadelphia Eagles' 2006 season. He knew the combination of anger and concern that may devour Nurse in these helpless moments because the gravity of her harm set in. Nurse was terse when she answered the decision from Uncle Don, as she calls McNabb. She lower him off instantly, saying she simply needed to go to mattress.
"It was a quick conversation," McNabb says. "I knew emotionally where she would be."
Nurse had come a protracted technique to attain that semifinal collection with the Mercury. She represented Canada on the 2016 Rio Olympics and have become a star at UConn. The Huskies received two nationwide titles and reached the Final Four in every of her 4 seasons with a crew that included Gabby Williams and Napheesa Collier and was a part of a 111-game successful streak. Nurse tied the NCAA single-game match file with 9 3-pointers in opposition to Syracuse en path to the 2017 Final Four.
Nurse's time as a Huskie would have been sufficient to fulfill her childhood objectives. But after watching a number of of her Huskies teammates get drafted, the WNBA turned a extra interesting vacation spot submit school, if coupled with extra profitable alternatives to play basketball abroad within the offseason. She noticed a path. The New York Liberty chosen Nurse tenth within the 2018 draft. She break up the subsequent two years between the Liberty and the Canberra Capitals of the Women's National Basketball League in Australia. Nurse was named a WNBA All-Star in 2019 and signed a cope with Jordan Brand the identical yr.
She was traded to the Mercury earlier than the 2021 season, a transfer that introduced her near her aunt, uncle and 4 cousins — two women and two boys. In Phoenix, Nurse turned like an enormous sister to the youngsters. They'd battle on the courtroom on the McNabb family, carrying Jordan gear offered by Nurse. They'd attend Mercury video games carrying their Nurse jerseys. Lexi McNabb, the eldest, is a degree guard like her cousin — and is now enjoying in her first season at Syracuse University.
"It's the successful big sis that every kid needs for motivation and drive," McNabb says. "Her path was very similar to where their path is now. I told my oldest that she needs to follow Kia … because (she's) the bar. Kia had Tamika — and now Lexi has Kia."
The household help in Phoenix additionally offered the identical values present in Richard and Cathy's residence in Hamilton. The McNabbs used the identical tell-it-like-it-is mentality because the Nurses, so the Mercury level guard usually acquired sincere assessments of her recreation from her uncle (who was a walk-on reserve for the Syracuse Orange basketball crew whereas turning into a finalist for the Heisman Trophy within the different sport he performed).
"She understands my true love for her because I'm always up front with her," McNabb says.
The torn ACL was devastating for Nurse, however McNabb did his greatest to offer steering by way of the unsure months after surgical procedure. "I tried to help her to understand who she is and her worth," he says. McNabb advised her to give attention to understanding the progress of her restoration — and that the highway she was going to need to journey won't lead her again to the place she was earlier than the harm.
Nurse bends to clutch a lure bar carrying 275 kilos. She exhales sharply.
"Crush the grip," says Matt Nichol, the famend strength-and-conditioning coach Nurse has labored with for a number of years.
She lifts and squats, thrice in a row, with ease.
The exercise — in an previous airport hangar in north Toronto that Nichol transformed into an enormous coaching facility — is concentrated on constructing stability and explosive power in Nurse's legs. She wears blue Canberra Capitals shorts that disguise a protracted scar above her proper knee.
"My legs never looked like this," she says, noting the sculpted bulk of her quads.
Nurse is stronger than she's ever been. During her year-long restoration from the torn ACL, she labored out in Nichol's health club alongside domestically based mostly professional athletes just like the Dallas Stars' Tyler Seguin and the Golden State Warriors' Andrew Wiggins. She's packed on muscle to verify her knee has the steadiness to endure a precarious fall or twist.
Nichol places extra weight on the bar: 315 kilos.
"Strong legs. Strong grip," he says. "Easy. One rep."
Nurse, 165 kilos, rises rapidly and units the weights again on the bottom gently.
"Easy! Look at that," Nichol says, as Nurse steps up onto a three-foot field, jumps down with two ft and explodes up like she is grabbing a rebound. Students from the Blyth Academy, an athletics-focused personal college that shares the power, stare over at Nurse as she works out.

It's been greater than a yr since Nurse performed in a WNBA recreation. The Mercury prolonged her deal, paying her the identical $73,500 wage she'd earned on her preliminary four-year rookie contract, hopeful that she would possibly return to play. But she wasn't in a position to get well in time and missed your complete 2022 season. In October, Nurse made her return with the Canadian crew on the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup in Australia, alongside veteran nationwide crew stars Natalie Achonwa and Bridget Carleton, who each play for the Minnesota Lynx. On her first possession again, Nurse drew a foul on a basket off a back-cut, turned to her teammates and let loose an emotional roar.
Nurse lives about an hour west in Hamilton, simply down the highway from the home the place she grew up. At 26, she bought her first residence, the place she lives along with her boyfriend and Prim, their German shorthaired pointer. Tamika lives across the block, which permits her sister to be "Aunt Kiki" to her 2 1/2-year-old son, Jaxson.
Though she spent months in Phoenix throughout her rehab and stayed near the Mercury when she was in a position, Nurse has settled into life again residence. The location is necessary, not solely due to Nurse's shut ties to household but additionally due to what it permits her to do for basketball in Canada.
In mid-November, she ran the primary basketball clinic for the Kia Nurse Basketball Academy, a program she developed along with her father to offer alternatives within the recreation to younger gamers within the area. The Kia Nurse Elite program — a journey crew within the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League — has run for a number of years and is the one Jordan-sponsored crew in Canada.
Unlike many WNBA gamers who've gone abroad to earn a residing, Nurse has discovered a technique to stay in North America in the course of the WNBA offseason. In 2019, TSN — one in every of Canada's two main sports activities broadcasters — employed her as a commentator for the lads's NCAA Tournament. Nervous forward of her first look, she memorized particular particulars about each single crew in March Madness.
Producer Michael Tawfik Hamarneh advised her to chill out and draw on her experiences. Nurse was, in spite of everything, the one individual within the studio who had been to 4 Final Fours and received two nationwide championships. After just a few broadcasts, she leaned into that wealth of expertise.
As a WNBA free agent, she remains to be unsure the place she is going to play subsequent season, however Nurse is assured she'll be a stronger and smarter participant than when she left.
Nurse's brother has little question she is going to.
"I'm very proud to see her growth, obviously as a basketball player, but as a person to be able to capitalize on the skills that she's used to build out a life that a lot of young female athletes can look to and be like, 'Hey, this is attainable. This is achievable,'" says Darnell. "It's a very cool thing to see."
For now, the staggered WNBA and NBA seasons permit her to proceed her enjoying profession whereas incomes a residing and constructing a future in broadcasting. Instead of spending her time enjoying abroad, carrying down her physique in a relentless cycle of seasons, Nurse is ready to apply in a basketball facility within the previous hangar subsequent to Nichol's health club earlier than hitting the weights. The cycle of relaxation and focused coaching — she additionally works with a coach in Hamilton — has allowed her to benefit from the comforts of residence.
"In a world full of uncertainty … I like to control things," Nurse says. "Now I have control of where my path is. I know what I'm doing. I know where my home is. … I can train as hard as I ever have (and) I can still play for the national team. They always say you can't have it all — but I've got a pretty good hold on what is all for me right now."

As a trailblazer for ladies in Canadian basketball, Nurse has used her profile to attempt to create higher alternatives for the subsequent generations studying the sport in Canada.
Nurse and her teammates pushed for higher assets for the Canadian girls's nationwide crew. Players now fly first-class to worldwide occasions and don't need to share lodge rooms. A brand new collective settlement between gamers and the WNBA in 2020 improved salaries, journey situations and offered full pay for gamers on maternity depart.
When she was younger, she couldn't even watch her sister's NCAA Tournament video games on tv. But all of Nurse's appearances within the Final Four with UConn aired in Canada. "The next generation is going to be able to see their colleges. I couldn't see it," says Nurse. "They need to see it or they won't understand."
Toronto has overtly sought a WNBA franchise — and the third-largest market between the U.S. and Canada is extensively thought of a frontrunner to land a crew when the WNBA expands with two extra franchises by 2025. Nurse could be thrilled to see the growth north.
"It opens up the core of these fans to see women's basketball at the highest level, which is huge," Nurse says. "Hockey's not on when we play. (The Raptors) aren't on when we play — so you can a get a live basketball fix in the summer time."
It would additionally push ahead grassroots packages throughout the nation, creating more room for individuals to play, Nurse says.
There's already a passionate WNBA fanbase within the nation and the ladies's nationwide crew, at the moment ranked fifth on the planet by FIBA, has a loyal following. The WNBA is planning exhibition video games in Canada subsequent summer time, which Nurse says might be a very good indicator of what the fan base is like. Nurse says she hopes no matter crew she indicators with subsequent will get to play north of the border.
Nurse is one in every of solely three Canadian WNBA gamers, together with Achonwa and Carleton. But that quantity is more likely to rise. This yr there are greater than 100 Canadians enjoying within the NCAA. Laeticia Amihere, a 6-4 senior at South Carolina, is anticipated to be chosen within the WNBA draft subsequent April. Aaliyah Edwards, a junior at UConn, is anticipated to be drafted the next yr. Amihere and Edwards confronted one another in final yr's NCAA ultimate, received by South Carolina. Shayeann Day-Wilson is a standout guard at Duke and was the ACC freshman of the yr final season.
Nurse is hopeful that this technology is simply the beginning of what's to come back.
Nurse stands on a courtroom surrounded by dozens of middle-school women who've spent a Sunday afternoon working drills on the University of Toronto and attempting to glean any recommendation they'll get from her. She's joined by WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert, who has made the journey to Toronto for the league's Her Time to Play occasion, supposed to champion girls's sports activities at an age the place many gamers give up sports activities.
It's a problem Nurse studied for a thesis she wrote at UConn and has underpinned her efforts to point out others that there's a method for women to search out pleasure and success by way of basketball, whatever the degree they attain.
As gamers take their seats within the bleachers and dig by way of boxed lunches, Nurse stands on the hardwood, like a professor wanting up at her keen college students. She's requested them to share their basketball tales and goals and he or she sees her journey mirrored in them.
One of the gamers raises her hand and asks in regards to the pursuit of goals — about making it work, as a lady in a recreation.
"I promise you," Nurse tells her. "This is something you can do long-term. You can make a living playing basketball."
Before lengthy, the gamers are known as again for one more spherical of drills.
"All right, ladies," an teacher says, hustling them to the courtroom. They every choose up an orange and white ball from a rack. The women unfold out throughout the baselines. On the whistle, they cost — every controlling a ball as they run, creating area and discovering their method by way of a transferring maze as Nurse weaves amongst them.

If you've been reading the blog regularly you'll know I added I2c to the ESP8266 code some time ago – that is, the ability to send an I2c message either to read or write – originally intended and still working with cheap I/O expanders – so you lose 2 wires (GPIO4 and 5) and gain another 6 or 14 for one or two I/O expander boards.
Well, I've updated it as of tonight.
Of course, ESP12 talking to Arduino is nothing new but given what we've built up here with the ESP boards and Node-Red I thought it might be useful to have the option to expand further.
What a few hours ago seems like something in the distance – well, it is done – and it works – and it has LOTS of potential. Read on.
What you see above (the FTDI is just stuck into the ESP8266 board for power) is a 1284 Aiduino boards flashing lights - controlled by MQTT – that is, the ESP12 board on the RIGHT is taking in the MQTT and sending commands via I2c to the 1284-based board and to the little red expander in the middle (on the same 2 pins).
Hence, I've spent the day working on the I2c code adding the ability to send multiple byte parameters and to receive a byte (I could have made it receive multiple bytes but for simple control a byte will do).
The next step was to set up an Arduino – or in my case specifically an ATMEGA1284 chip to talk to the ESP – hence giving us the ability to control Arduino ports via Node-Red. Now as yet another blog entry here will testify, you can of course connect (now that the node is fixed) an Arduino directly to the Raspberry Pi in charge – but puts too many physical constraints up. I had no intention of developing Firmata on the ESP – and so a simple i2c protocol was develop and SO much more can be done.
So first things first – I used the Atmega1284 simply as I have loads of them – both DIP40 and surface mount in our little AIDUINO boards. The 1284 has twice the RAM of a 2560 and is easy to use. However this would work equally well in a normal Arduino or in the massive 2560 boards.. the only difference being which two pins are used for i2c. The red chart above, shamelessly stolen from ManicBug's website shows the pins (in parentheses the numbering system I use).
So in the ESP8266 (grab the latest ROMS or SOURCE) I have a simple method of communication which can be used by MQTT or serial. The format is similar to that used elsewhere in the home control system.
i2c: device, return, param1, param2, param3, param4, param5.
Not all parameters are needed.
device 39, no return value, send out 3 (which lights up the bottom 2 LEDS.
This returns the value in the port expander. this is covered in two previous blogs.
So what has changed is that the code can now send out multiple parameters – and optionally receive information back.
The above sends out to device 8, expecting nothing back, type 1 means set a port bit, bit 20 in this case (see red table above) – to 1.
Above – device 8, 1 means return a byte, type 4 means read analog value and port number is 30 – the instruction will return the value of the analog input.
1 is digital out, 2 is digital in, 3 is PWM out, 4 is analog in – you must use appropriate ports – not all are able to handle analog in or PWM out… and you don't have to worry about port direction setting – this is checked before any operation and set.
There is SO much more potential here but only so many hours. I will likely make the settings for outputs non-volatile at some point – and add in all manner of device monitoring and probably also make use of the multiple serial ports on these devices.
For now that's not bad for a Sunday session. If you're seriously interested I'll make the Arduino code available but right now it is highly volatile – but it works!!

India's total FDI inflows into equity — which had shot up by 23% in the first quarter — lost pace subsequently and dropped 7% to .5 billion between April and December 2018.
Months before India's new double taxation avoidance agreements with them are to kick in fully, Singapore has beaten Mauritius to emerge as New Delhi's largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI). FDI in equity from Singapore jumped 41% in the April-December period to almost $13 billion, while that from Mauritius dropped 55% from a year before to just $6 billion, showed the latest official data.
India's total FDI inflows into equity — which had shot up by 23% in the first quarter — lost pace subsequently and dropped 7% to $33.5 billion between April and December 2018. The inflows are poised to record a fall in FY19 — the first such annual decline during the current NDA regime—unless the last quarter records a massive rebound.
Interestingly, at $6.06 billion, FDI inflows into chemicals (excluding fertilisers) in the first three quarters of this fiscal exceeded those into bigger sectors like financial and other services ($5.92 billion), computer software and hardware ($4.75 billion), telecommunications ($2.29 billion), trading ($2.34 billion) and automobiles ($1.81 billion). The chemicals sector had attracted just $1.3 billion in the entire 2017-18 fiscal.
As for the destinations of FDI, India had tweaked its 33-year old tax treaty with Mauritius in May 2016 and revised it with Singapore in December that year to plug loopholes exploited by companies in tax havens to avoid legitimate taxes.
These pacts are to come into effect fully from April 2019 after a two-year transitional phase during which capital gains on the transfer of Indian shares acquired since April 2017 are being taxed at 50% of the domestic rate. After April 1, 2019, full domestic capital gains tax will apply.
With the advantage of a tax haven set to go fully now, inflows from Mauritius have faltered. However, since Singapore has a robust and fairly transparent financial system with easier access to funds at low costs, many foreign companies with interest in India continue to be inclined to invest via Singapore rather than Mauritius, said analysts.
Although Singapore had also surpassed Mauritius as the biggest source of FDI into India in 2015-16 (only to cede the top slot the very next year), the gap in their investments was never as stark as in 2018-19.
Already, the share of Mauritius in cumulative FDI inflows into India since April 2000 has eroded gradually over the years from as much as 42% as of March 2011 to 32% by December 2018, while that of Singapore jumped from 9% to 19% during this period.
A decline in overall FDI inflows this fiscal could weigh on the rupee, although a fall in oil prices in recent months has eased pressure on trade balance, the largest component of the country's current account.
Already, current account deficit worsened to 2.9% of GDP in the July-September period of this fiscal from 2.4% in the previous quarter.

New & Improved Second US Trailer for Brazilian Horror 'Good Manners'
"Genre defying and genuinely unexpected." Distrib Films US has debuted another new trailer for the highly underrated Brazilian horror film Good Manners, or originally As Boas Maneiras in Portuguese. I've been talking up this film ever since the London Film Festival last year. The first US trailer is not very good, but this is a much better trailer that finally gets into it more. Good Manners reinvents the werewolf genre in a completely eye-opening, breathtaking way. The story is about a lonely nurse hired by a wealthy, mysterious woman named Ana to be the the nanny for her unborn child. But she soon realizes things are a bit strange when she discovers Ana sleepwalks at night. Isabél Zuaa stars in this, with Marjorie Estiano, Miguel Lobo, Cida Moreira, Andréa Marquee, and Felipe Kenji. I flipped for it last year and haven't stopped thinking about it - read my review. Hopefully this trailer gets more of you curious, this film needs to be seen.
Here's the second US trailer for Marco Dutra & Juliana Rojas's Good Manners, direct from YouTube:
You also watch the first official US trailer for Good Manners here, plus the original international trailer.
In my review: "This Brazilian horror drama film falls under the category of WTF?!, but it's so so so good."
Clara (Isabél Zuaa), a lonely nurse from the outskirts of São Paulo, is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana as the nanny for her unborn child. The two women develop a strong bond, but a fateful night changes their plans.

Atmospheric? Yes. Interesting? Not so much ...
This looks very cool. I hope it goes to blu-ray at some time.

This looks weird....but sometimes weird is good. I'll check it out once it's on Netflix/Cable. It's got a very "Rosemary's Baby" vibe....

Wind blows marquee into trees and guttering
STRONG winds launched a marquee into the air, leaving the 15ft by 5ft structure wrapped around trees and guttering at properties in Warlingham.
A fire crew from Godstone worked alongside four residents to bring the marquee, which had been set up for a party the night before, back down to earth on Sunday afternoon.
It happened at around 3.15pm, and fire station watch manager Chris May said: "They had their hands full, they were holding down the sheeting. It was quite a large marquee and had to be cut away from the buildings.
"It had wrapped itself around the gutters and part of a tree, part of it pulled guttering down and some tiles too.
"Fortunately the windows are still intact, it was quite lucky really. The metal frame was hitting into the window and brickwork."
With the Met Office issuing wind and rain weather warnings for the region, Mr May added: "If you have loose objects outside, get them nailed down. Also when travelling in tree areas, the wind and rain can bring branches down.
"Also be aware when driving on the motorway, give yourself extra space between cars and look out for surface water."

UK Viewers of Horse Racing Bet the Most Out of All TV Sports Audiences
Horse racing has long been a popular spectator sport. You don't need to know anything about the horses racing to enjoy placing a bet or two on the outcome of the race. You also don't need to be present on the day to have fun watching a horse race!
Some of the most famous horse racing events are routinely televised. Popular races like the Grand National and events like Royal Ascot attract huge viewing figures on the TV. ITV took over the Grand National coverage in 2017 and last year, at the height of the pandemic, audience figures peaked at 8.8 million, with an average audience of 4.78 million. This isn't as high as the 30 million views a primetime soap like EastEnders attracts, but it is on a par with the viewing figures for the FA Cup Final in 2021, where 9 million people tuned in to watch Leicester City secure a 1-0 victory against Chelsea.
How many of these viewers place a bet? Let's find out.
UK Horse Racing Gambling Statistics
The UK Gambling Statistics, Sports Betting Data & Research 2021 study has revealed some interesting trends. People aged between 18 and 54 were quizzed about their sports viewing habits, among other things and it transpires that 97.4% of people who enjoy watching horse racing also like to place a bet. This compares to 86.4% of boxing fans, 81.1% of tennis fans, 81.1% of golf fans, and 76.8% of football fans. Therefore, horse racing is the sport most UK viewers are inclined to bet on!
Interestingly, people who watch horse racing on TV are most likely to believe they will make money from betting. Of course, you can score free bets but according to cheltenhamfestival.net, Tote horse race betting experts, to consistently win, you do need to know the form of the horses that are racing. Also, only 52.6% of bettors knew what a betting exchange was, but 38.7% were happy to bet up to $100 each month. Other facts that came out of the survey were that men were more likely to bet on sports – and believe they were making a profit – and 8.5% of respondents said they had lost thousands of pounds through poor bets.
Why Do Bettors Love Televised Horse Racing?
Why is televised horse racing such a popular sport for bettors? Well, it is a combination of reasons. While horse racing is exciting in-person, it isn't always convenient to travel to a big event like the Grand National or Royal Ascot. Covid restrictions have made it tricky for large sporting events and not everyone wants to run the risk of mixing with large crowds, even if the event is being held outdoors.
Watching a horse race on TV means you can be right at the sharp end of the action. Instead of catching a few seconds of live action as the horses gallop past, you can keep up with the front runners thanks to mobile cameras. In a big race like the Grand National, this makes for a more exciting race. You will know which horse has won the moment they pass the winning post.
Televised horse racing is also popular because it's immersive. As well as the races, viewers can watch interviews before and after the races, admire the crazy fashions in the case of Royal Ascot, and sip bubbly at home instead of paying a small fortune on the day. Yes, you don't have an excuse to dress up, but when the weather is cold, wet, and windy, it's a lot more fun to sit at home glued to the screen while your horse thunders down the track in pursuit of a win.
The Most Popular Televised Horse Races
The high viewing figures for televised horse racing support this. The epic Grand National is the most popular horse race on TV, but Cheltenham Festival, which runs over four days, is also a firm favourite for at-home viewers. Each day of the 2020 Cheltenham Festival coverage on ITV in 2020 attracted more than one million viewers.
Royal Ascot is also hugely popular, with viewing figures up year-on-year in 2020.
Which televised horse race are you planning to place a bet on this year?

The "Case (De Kasse) Family History" is currently still under construction. Anyone that has information or questions on this family line please "email me".
Johann, (2) was born in Anhausen, Germany the son of Duke Karl De Kasse (Case) (1), in ca. 1680. His mother's name is currently unknown.
He was 1st married to "Anna Elizabeth Jung" on November 29, 1703 in Anhausen, Germany. The name of her parent's are currently unknown. They had five children (possibly eight), however only the name of the one shown below is known. Anna passed away in Anhausen on September 4, 1721 and was interred there.
He and his two brothers evidently came to America together in ca. 1728 after the passing of Johann's (2) 1st wife Anna. He was naturalized in New Jersey on July 8, 1730. He changed the spelling of his name to "John Philp Kase" to make it more American as most immigrants had done. Johann (2) first shows up in the Flemington, New Jersey area as a land purchaser on March 9, 1738. He purchased land in the "Mine Brook" area from Thomas, John and Richard Penn, sons of William Penn.
The land purchased included the area around the current Route 12 circle and back through Bonnell Street in Flemington. He built a log cabin along the Tuccaminjah Creek, now called Mine Brook. A deep and lasting friendship between Johann (2) and the indian Chief Tuccamirgan developed over the years. The childless wife of the Chief often took care of the Kase children, who were as comfortable at the Indian camp as they were in their own homestead. Their log cabin home was located where the current Case/Davis/Dvoor house stands today on the Route 12 circle in Flemington.
Johann (2) was believed to have been married four (4) times. However only the names of his 1st wife (see above) and last wife are currently known. His last wife was "Rachel Hauser" with whom he had four children, however only three are currently known. Rachel's parent's names and her dates are also unknown at this time. Johann (2) passed away in 1756 and was interred in the Case Family Cemetery in Flemington, NJ. After his passing Rachel married a "John White".
Family Notes: The birth order of the children is currently unknown. The first five children were all born in Anhausen, Germany. The rest of his children all appear to have been born in Flemington, NJ. The children, based on records, seem to have changed the spelling of their last name again from "Kase" to "Case". Peter (10) married "Elizabeth Stout" and had one son named "Mathias". After Peter's passing Elizabeth remarried to "William Bennett". Philip (11) was sent to Philadelphia, Pa. to learn the tanning trade. He eventually set up a successful tanning business on his return that lasted from 1783 to 1851 in Flemington, NJ. Philip (11) was married to "Amy Ann Robins"
"Johann Philip Case (2)" - "Peter Case (10)" - "Philip Case (11)" - "Amy Robins Case" - "Chief Tuccamirgan"
Eva (3) was born the daughter of Johann Philip (2) and Anna Elizabeth (Jung) Case in Anhausen, Germany. She married "Paul Kahl" who immigrated to America from Maxsain in the Palatine area of Germany. Paul purchased the land were the Copper Hill Country Club currently stands.
Family Notes: The birth order of the children is currently unknown except that Leonard (18) was noted as the 5th son. Leonard (18) is interred in the family burial ground.
"Eva Marie (Case) Kahl (5)" - "Paul Kahl" - "Leonard Kahl (18)"

US judge dismisses 9/11 Binladen firm lawsuits
Plaintiffs claim Saudi Binladin Group helped fund bin Laden's militant activities leading up to the 2001 attacks.

NEW YORK - A Saudi construction firm founded in the 1930s by the father of the late al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden cannot be sued for damages over the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, a US judge ruled on Wednesday.
Manhattan federal court judge George Daniels ruled against plaintiffs who said the Saudi Binladin Group, one of the largest construction firms in Saudi Arabia, helped fund bin Laden's militant activities leading up to the 2001 attacks.
9/11 service pays tribute to close ties between Israel, US
The move dismisses claims against the Binladin Group in six different lawsuits in which survivors, relatives and others are seeking damages from defendants they accuse of aiding the attacks.
The judge ruled that the Binladin Group's "alleged support of Osama bin Laden before 1993 is too temporally remote to establish jurisdiction."
Any activity a subsidiary of the Binladin Group may have had in the United States prior to the Sept. 11 attacks, which killed close to 3,000 people, was also too thin to justify jurisdiction over it, the judge ruled.
Bin Laden, who was killed by US forces last May in Pakistan, was removed as a shareholder of his family's construction business in 1993, the court order said.
Bin Laden, who was stripped of Saudi citizenship and whose family ultimately disowned him, was born in Saudi Arabia in 1957, one of more than 50 children of millionaire Saudi Binladin group founder Mohammed Binladin. The family became prominent thanks to an oil-fuelled construction boom.

Ved klassisk filologi forstås den videnskabelige beskæftigelse med klassiske, dvs. græske og latinske, kulturers mindesmærker, særlig de litterære. Den falder i talrige underdiscipliner, såsom grammatik, metrik, eksegese, tekstkritik, litteraturhistorie, antikviteter, mytologi osv. og kræver desuden hjælpevidenskaber som palæografi, epigrafik og mange andre.

Den klassiske filologi har sit udspring i den klassiske oldtid: Allerede sofisterne og de nærmest følgende filosoffer fortolkede lejlighedsvis gamle litteraturværker og reflekterede over sprogets fænomener, og den filologiske forskning blev for alvor sat i system på det store bibliotek i Alexandria.

THIS CROWDFUNDING MATRIX LOOKS FAMILIAR TO A NETWORK MARKETING MATRIX.
We want to lead people to an "Aha!" moment with our story of a more effective way to raise funds. "If we build it [the story], they will become members of BAMway.net."
"I also have some definitive feelings about how I want to spend my time enrolling people in BAMway.net and why" said Filmmaker Tamika.
"I want the 3 of you Filmmakers to take the time invested to earn a finite UNKNOWN amount of money by putting together https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/as-the-freak-takes-you and https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-alzheimer-s-monologues and https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/my-thiero-boys-believing-in-miracles-in-spite-of-autism and put that same energy into doing a video expressing the BAMway.net story to earn money IN PERPETUITY based on the facts here at BAMworks.net," said Bryan Franklin, Founder of BAMway.net
Click this link to see all of the CrowdFunding campaigns from people we know!
"CROWDFUNDING'S attractions are very similar to Network Marketing to me," says Bryan.
People see the very few crowdfunding campaigns that collect big bucks and their hopes of doing the same thing draws them into trying their own campaign. Unfortunately, just as with Network Marketing, far too many of the crowdfunding Campaigners actually get their money. Most people put in a lot of time and effort on a video & story only to end up with a percentage raised that's far less than the goal. However, Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Go Fund Me and others earn millions from small amounts raised by masses of individuals. Network Marketing typically requires one to pay a fee to enroll. Crowdfunding is FREE, but is it? What is your time and talent worth to create that compelling video & story?
Look at George Frasier, the #1 Networking Guru of the Black community. He tried to raise $100,000 via Indiegogo and only managed to raise $15,000 (just 15% of his goal). When the Networking Guru of Black America has challenges with his crowdfunding campaign http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-connect-the-dots-movement, I'd say there is something fishy with the crowdfunding model. If he couldn't raise his goal, what does that say about the odds for Leroy Johnson?
"I'd like to see fewer people following Followers when it comes to the internet," says Bryan, "and do something that's tried, true, and makes sense on paper. The story & video just needs to meet and match the BAMway.net alternative to Network Marketing movement."
At least 40,000 people sign up for Network Marketing companies every day in America alone; how many can we have take the requested action to become a member of BAMway.net with an awesome video & story? Have you been following the www.FactsAboutHerbalife.com story & videos, or should I say saga, funded by billionaire Bill Ackman?

Etsy's stock tumbles to record low
Caitlin Huston
Etsy shares suffer amid broad weakness in recent IPOs, includes those of Twitter and GoPro
Etsy went public on April 16, 2015.
Etsy Inc.'s stock continued its slide Tuesday, hitting the lowest price in its nine-month history in intraday trade, as part of broad weakness in the shares of companies that recently turned public.
Shares of the online crafts marketplace ETSY, +2.42% tumbled as much as 7.4% to an intraday low of $6.89 before paring some losses in afternoon trade, a day after shares of a number of recent initial public offerings, including those of Fitbit Inc. US:FIT, Twitter Inc. US:TWTR and GoPro Inc. GPRO, +2.67%, hit record lows.
The Renaissance U.S. IPO Index, which represents the recent U.S. IPO market, slumped 1.3% on Monday to close at the lowest level since October 2013.
The index had tumbled 10% year to date, and 24% over the past six months, through Monday. In comparison, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.25% has lost 4.7% this year, and declined 7.4% in six months.
On Tuesday, shares of Twitter and GoPro fell further to join Etsy's at record lows, while Fitbit's stock edged higher.
Some of the latest stock woes came after specific company announcements, while others were weighed down by the broad market weakness. For example, Etsy's stock took a hit Monday after a lockup agreement on about 21.9 million shares expired.
Fitbit shares had been on a decline after the company announced a new smartwatch that appeared to compete with Apple Inc.'s AAPL, +1.37% offering.
The country's stocks are up 50% since officials eased Covid restrictions. Alibaba, Yum China, and other names stand to gain.

A rather rare occurrence here in Northeast Florida in early June – a long steady rain. After an extremely dry late winter and spring, rain has returned in a big way. Afternoon thunderstorms fill once dry ponds and bogs and gardens brim with life and color.
Bald cypress branches hang low with wetness – maidenhair ferns pop with color and a chubby garden bird delights.
…for a little bit at least.
And a blast of the most unnatural pink you'll ever see!

Thanks for visiting our garden on this rainy day!


Teenage birth rates differ significantly across developed countries. They are higher in countries with high income inequality and low intergenerational income mobility. We develop an economic theory of parental investments and risky sexual behavior of teenagers. The model is calibrated to match the stylized facts about income inequality, intergenerational mobility, and sexual behavior of teenagers in the United States. We then impose Norwegian taxes and education spendings on the baseline model. The Norwegian welfare state institutions go a long way in explaining the differences in teenage birth rates between the United States and Norway.

Do you want your teeth to whiten? If you also want to achieve with natural products, we recommend that you use coconut oil for teeth whitening.
First, brush your teeth and tongue to remove food leftover.
Then heat the coconut oil a little to make it softer or watery texture.
Take a little with a tablespoon when it is lukewarm before it becomes stable. It is advisable to use a half tablespoon.
Take this product in your mouth and begin to move it throughout the mouth, just like when you use a commercial mouthwash.
Hold for 5 to 15 minutes. It is advisable to begin for 5 minutes. With the passage of days and practice, increase the time until you get to hold for 15 minutes.
Rinse your mouth with water to eliminate the oil remains in the mouth.
In fact, it is commonly using in cooking. So, do not worry if you swallow a little during this process of oral hygiene.
Another standard way to whiten and strengthen teeth and gums is to use homemade coconut oil soap.
In a bowl mix the two ingredients in the indicated proportions and stir well until there is a doughy and uniform texture.
You can put it in a glass container and save it in the refrigerator and take it out a few minutes before using it.
The way of use is like that of a commercial toothpaste. You have to put a little on the toothbrush and brush well.
In this way, you will end up with unwanted bacteria, and your teeth will gradually look whiter and healthier.
You will notice a good feeling of cleanliness and a pleasant aroma in the mouth.
You can use this paste two times a day, at least until you notice that you have achieved the white tone you are looking for.
Turmeric and white clay along with coconut oil is another remedy for teeth whitening.
Turmeric contains antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
The white clay has antiseptic, regenerative, astringent and anti-inflammatory abilities.
Adding all these effects to coconut oil makes it possible to eliminate bacteria, disinflame and strengthen the gums and eliminate stains on the teeth.
Mix the three ingredients in a container in the indicated amounts and stir until getting a gel or paste.
It is advisable to prepare the amount that you will use in a few days, as it is advisable to store this mixture in the refrigerator for a maximum of 15 days.
Use this mixture to wash your mouth instead of the usual commercial dentifrice. Brush your teeth and rinse with water.
You can use this natural paste between 1 or 2 times a day. From the first use you will notice a slight improvement and, little by little, your smile will look whiter and healthier.


Charlotte Rae, Diana Rigg, Fairuza Balk and Tim Curry in "The Worst Witch" (IMDB).
Before J.K. Rowling wrote about a boy wizard at a boarding school, there was this 70-minute made-for-TV gem, based on author Jill Murphy's series of books. Little Mildred Hubble (Fairuza Balk, before her truly witchy appearance in The Craft), is the least skilled student at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. She can't make a laughing potion and doesn't even get a black cat like all the other girls, so she runs away, only to discover a fiendish plot by the principal's evil twin sister (both played by The Facts of Life's Charlotte Rae). Other highlights include a strict potions teacher played by Diana Rigg (Oleanna Tyrell, Game of Thrones), and a memorably laughable song sequence courtesy of international treasure Tim Curry.
Judy Landers and Ray Sharkey in "Hellhole"(Scream Factory).
Thanks to a recent release on Scream Factory, this grindhouse staple received a resurgence. Golden Globe winner (yep) Sharkey plays Silk, a murderous assassin who sets out to kill Susan (Landers) after killing her mother. But this is all just a ploy to get a film that features violent deaths, mud baths and the most over-the-top villain acting until Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending. Sure, it's not for everyone, but if it's in your wheelhouse, Hellhole is a diamond in the rough.
Ossie Davis and Bruce Campbell in "Bubba Ho-Tep" (Vitagraph Films).
From the director of Phantasm comes a frightening, funny and at times poignant film. Elvis Presley (Campbell) has been in hiding since switching places with an impersonator in the 70s, and lives in a nursing home in Texas. When he encounters an undead mummy feasting on the souls of his fellow residents, though, he springs into action. Elvis is accompanied by a man who claims to be John F. Kennedy ("They dyed me this color!") and uses his walker as a deadly weapon. What else do you need in a horror comedy?
From top right, Kevin Murphy, Michael J. Nelson and Bill Corbett riff on Vincent Price in "Rifftrax Live: House on Haunted Hill" (Rifftrax).
So this is a little different. Comedy commentary site Rifftrax, founded by three former writers and cast members for Mystery Science Theater 3000, often holds live events to riff on movies like Birdemic: Shock and Terror, Starship Troopers and The Room, and one of the earliest of these events took place in 2010 with William Castle's House on Haunted Hill. In the narrative proper, wealthy Frederick Loren (Price) holds a party inside a supposedly haunted house, but after midnight, the guests suspect the frights to be real. The film is accompanied by humor courtesy of Corbett, Murphy and Nelson, who crack jokes ranging from Alice Cooper on roller skates to the What's Happening?!? theme.
Anna Massey and Carl Böhm in "Peeping Tom" (Criterion Collection).
Released the same year as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, Michael Powell's Peeping Tom was critically and commercially reviled at first, but has grown to be influential to the slasher genre and a favorite of Martin Scorsese. Reclusive cameraman Mark (Böhm, in his best-known English-language role) meets his neighbor Helen (Massey) and begins to show feelings for her. Little does she know that he is secretly a serial killer who documents his victims' last moments on film. This is one of the first slasher films where the story is told from the viewpoint of the killer rather than one of his victims, and Powell's career saw a resurrection upon its reemergence in the 70s.
William Finley in "Phantom of the Paradise" (20th Century Fox).
Arguably the best film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, Brian de Palma's million-dollar opus trades opera for rock n' roll, turn-of-the-century Paris for New York City, and a genius with a horrible deformity for a mousy composer. When Winslow (Finley) has his music stolen by mysterious record mogul Swan (Williams), he tries to get it back, only to be wrongfully imprisoned and have his face burned. Winslow escapes and tries to sabotage the opening of Swan's new nightclub, the Paradise, but Swan offers him a recording contract in exchange for his soul. What follows is a mix of Hitchcock references, glam rock (courtesy of Graham as singer Beef), the story of Faust and a song score written by Williams himself.

Jim Bouton's Book Blasts 'Berkshire Eagle's Ballpark Plans
Joe Strupp May 7, 2003
By: Joe Strupp
Former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim "Bulldog" Bouton, whose controversial memoir Ball Four still resonates among fans more than 30 years later for its revelations about the sordid lives of players, throws his latest fastball at a Massachusetts newspaper, claiming in a new book that the daily all but sabotaged his efforts to renovate a local ballpark.
In Foul Ball, the self-published tale Bouton plans to release in June, the retired pitcher claims The Berkshire Eagle in Pittsfield, Mass., deceived readers about the viability of a new stadium that the 31,277-daily-circulation Eagle planned to help bankroll — while it campaigned against a plan by Bouton and two partners to renovate the existing Wahconah Park, an 84-year-old venue and a favorite of minor-league fans.
"The moment we walked into town with the deal, we were attacked by The Berkshire Eagle and we couldn't figure out why," said Bouton, who lives south of Pittsfield and briefly pitched in Wahconah Park as a player during a tryout in the 1970s. "The Berkshire Eagle was pushing the new stadium by using the argument that if they didn't build the new stadium, there would be no baseball in Pittsfield and no stadium, which was not true."
The Eagle, owned by Denver-based MediaNews Group Inc., has defended its efforts on behalf of a new ballpark while attacking Bouton's charges in several news stories as well as an editorial published April 16 that said Bouton's "command of the facts is so tenuous, and his allegations so unfounded, that it is no wonder he is reduced to self-publishing."
The tale of two ballparks began in 2001 when the Pittsfield Astros announced plans to leave the city-owned Wahconah Park for a new home in Troy, N.Y. Bouton and two partners pitched the idea for a $1.5-million, privately funded renovation of Wahconah Park and a plan to find a new team.
That same year, a plan to build an $18.5-million stadium and complex at a different site was put forth by a group of city leaders and local businesses, including the Eagle, which pledged $2 million toward the project as well as land adjacent to the paper's headquarters, according to Martin C. Langeveld, vice president of New England Newspapers Inc., the MediaNews division that runs the Eagle. "It was an ideal location, and it would have been a nice downtown ballpark," he said. "But the opponents [including Bouton] decided they didn't like it."
The new-stadium plan required voters to approve the creation of a civil authority to oversee its operation. The proposal struck out in June 2001 when residents mowed it down at the polls. Later that year, the Pittsfield Parks Commission unanimously voted down Bouton's plan, then leased Wahconah Park to the owner of another minor-league team who moved his franchise to Pittsfield in 2002.
In his book, Bouton contends his proposal never got up to bat because of opposition from the Eagle, which he claims deceived voters about elements of both his plan and the new-stadium proposal. Eagle Editor David Scribner, whom Bouton dubbed Mr. Misinformation in his book, denied the accusation. "Editorially, we favored [the new stadium]," Scribner told E&P. "But, as far as our news coverage, that is not true. We actually got a lot of flak from our publisher that we were doing too much on the opponents of the new stadium, but that didn't stop us."
Despite complaints that Bouton's book is misleading, Langeveld said the paper does not plan to take any legal action against him.
Foul Ball was to have been published by Public Affairs Press of New York, but Bouton ended his relationship with the publisher after it requested he seek responses from the General Electric Co., a backer of the new-stadium plan that the book attacks.
"I never asked for a response from the baseball commissioner when I wrote Ball Four," Bouton told E&P last week, explaining why he would not oblige. "I just tell what happened and let the reader draw his own conclusions."

What is Be Well for Business?
This series is geared to bring the Be Well Community into the workplace, putting science into action so we can all experience the benefits and build resilience. Gain access to information, education and assessment tools to help yourself and others.
In our last video, we talk about taking time to pause, breathe and assess how you are feeling through the Rate the Weight scale. The next step is to identify what to do with that feeling and rating. We call this step, self-care and self-regulation.
Self-care is doing the things we each uniquely need to do in order to maintain our happiness, health and the ongoing development of our minds. The key here is the word "unique," because the self-care that works for you is unique to you. Practice a number of different self-care methods to find the activities that work best for you.
Use the attached self-care toolkit to plan how to identify your emotional weight and match it up with a corresponding self-care practice.
To help you identify your different emotional weight levels, think about your physical and emotional response at each level. For example, if you are a zero, maybe you smile more, have a lot of energy and tend to joke around. However, if you are at a four or five, maybe you feel pressure in your chest and tend to be irritable.
Identify these feelings on the left side of the attached toolkit. Then on right side, plug in corresponding self-care methods to help you self-regulate at each level.
We need different levels of self-care and regulations depending on where we rate on the weight scale. For example, if you are at a zero, you may practice yoga or enjoy dinner with your family. If you are at a four or five, you may need to take a walk, practice deep breathing and confide what you are going through with a good friend or loved one.
There are a number of self-care ideas to get your started included in the attached toolkit.
Tips to Implement Self-Care Practice with Your Team
Consider how you can share these practices with your teams. There are a number of practices you can do together, such as deep breathing, having everyone rate their weight at the beginning of a team meeting or encouraging movement breaks during the workday.
Daily Acronym to Practice Self-Care
Lastly, remember to L.A.U.G.H. Use this acronym daily to help you practice self-care.
Limit exposure to negativity (news, social media, people)
Anchor (adapting and/or developing rituals and routines for structure in our days)
Unite (Do not let physical distance lead to social and emotional isolation)
Grace (extend grace to yourself and others, we are all doing the best that we can)
Health (daily practices to support physical, emotional and relational health)
As leaders, we have to take care of ourselves. This is critical for us to thrive personally and professionally. For the betterment for you as a human, as a colleague and as a leader, let's all practice self-care and be well together.
Burrell Rate the Weight and Self-Care Toolkit
In the Burrell Be Well Community, we do this check-in daily and call this"Rate the Weight." Download the tool here. On a scale of one to five with five being the highest, how heavy does your emotion feel? It could be anxiety, angst, sadness, elation, excitement, etc.

Understanding the Brain Science to Understand Your Emotions
As humans we know our brains need to feel safe, first and foremost, which is why we physically distanced and made such drastic changes to our daily routines in recent months. But we also need to be heard, to have the opportunity to name our struggles and have them witnessed. It also is incredibly important to be compassionate with ourselves, as family members, employees, supervisors, or business owners.
To lead people effectively, it is critical that we are able to manage and understand our own feelings and the feelings of others. When we do this: burnout is lower, the intent to leave a job is reduced and employees are overall less frustrated.
After you take time to pause, breathe and assess how you are feeling through the Rate the Weight scale, the next step is to identify what to do with that feeling and rating. This step is self-care and self-regulation, which is doing the things we each uniquely need to do in order to maintain our happiness, health and the ongoing development of our minds. Learn how to do this for yourself and tips to implement for your team.
