Pregnancy is a transformative journey filled with anticipation, excitement, and the joy of new beginnings. Alongside the anticipation comes a heightened awareness of the impact of diet and nutrition on the health and development of the growing baby.
While many foods provide essential nutrients vital for a healthy pregnancy, there are also certain foods that expecting mothers should avoid to minimize the risk of complications and promote optimal well-being for both mother and child.
In this comprehensive article, we will delve deeper into the foods that pregnant women should steer clear of and explore alternative options to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy journey.
1. Raw or Undercooked Meat and Seafood
During pregnancy, the immune system undergoes changes that can make expectant mothers more susceptible to foodborne illnesses.
Raw or undercooked meat, including beef, poultry, and pork, as well as raw seafood like sushi and shellfish, carry the risk of contamination with bacteria such as salmonella, E. coli, and listeria. These pathogens can lead to severe gastrointestinal issues and pose potential risks to the developing fetus.
To safeguard against foodborne illness, it is crucial to ensure that all meat and seafood are cooked thoroughly to their recommended internal temperatures before consumption.
2. Unpasteurized Dairy Products
Unpasteurized dairy products, including certain cheeses, milk, and yogurt, have the potential to harbor harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes.
Listeriosis, the infection caused by this bacteria, can have serious consequences during pregnancy, including miscarriage, premature birth, and life-threatening infections in newborns.
To reduce the risk of listeriosis, pregnant women should opt for pasteurized dairy products, which have undergone a heat treatment process to eliminate pathogens while retaining essential nutrients.
3. Raw Eggs
Raw or undercooked eggs have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella, a bacteria that can cause food poisoning and associated complications during pregnancy.
It is advisable to choose pasteurized egg products or opt for fully cooked eggs to ensure food safety and minimize the risk of salmonella infection.
4. Deli Meats and Processed Meats
Deli meats and processed meats, including ham, turkey, and hot dogs, can be sources of listeria contamination if not handled and stored properly.
Listeria infection during pregnancy can lead to severe consequences, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or life-threatening infections in newborns.
While it is possible to enjoy deli meats and processed meats during pregnancy, it is essential to heat them to steaming hot before consumption to kill any potential bacteria and reduce the risk of listeria exposure.
5. High-Mercury Fish
Certain types of fish, particularly those high in mercury, pose risks to fetal development and should be limited or avoided during pregnancy.
Mercury is a neurotoxin that can impair the development of the nervous system in unborn babies. High-mercury fish such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish should be avoided, while lower-mercury options like salmon, shrimp, canned light tuna, and catfish can be consumed in moderation to reap the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids without the risk of mercury exposure.
6. Caffeine and Alcohol
Caffeine and alcohol consumption should be moderated or avoided during pregnancy to minimize potential risks to the baby’s health.
High levels of caffeine have been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage and low birth weight, while alcohol consumption can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) and other developmental issues.
Pregnant women should limit their caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day and avoid alcoholic beverages entirely to promote a safe and healthy pregnancy.
In conclusion, making informed dietary choices during pregnancy is crucial for promoting the health and well-being of both mother and baby.
By avoiding high-risk foods such as raw or undercooked meat, unpasteurized dairy products, raw eggs, deli meats, high-mercury fish, caffeine, and alcohol, pregnant women can minimize the risk of foodborne illness, mercury exposure, and other complications.
It is essential to maintain open communication with healthcare providers and adhere to personalized dietary recommendations to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy journey for both mother and child.

Trojans host hitting camp
Published 3:00 am Wednesday, December 7, 2016
Charles Henderson High first-year Head Baseball Coach Josey Shannon, his players and staff will host a “Hitting For Hunger” camp this Saturday, Dec. 10, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the CHHS indoor hitting facility.
There is no cost, but every participant must bring a minimum of five canned goods, with all collections going to area Troy and Pike County food banks. The hitting camp is open to all youngsters from all schools currently in the 3rd through the 6th grades.
“The main objective is to do a community service event that will be beneficial during the Holidays for people, especially the less fortunate,” said Coach Shannon. “It seems that every time we turn around there are fund-raising efforts for a lot of things, and I like to try to give back, and to do something for the community instead of just trying to ask for things.
“I want to teach our players the importance of giving, and the importance of looking around to see what needs to be done in our community. It’s small but we are trying to help. At the same time I am getting a chance to meet some of these young kids that are coming up, and Lord willing, I will be able to coach these kids in five, six, seven years.”
Coach Shannon expects emphasis on the camp to begin with the basics, but players will also hit in the cages and be evaluated by the coaching staff and others.
“Coach Shane Gierke will come over from Troy University,” said Coach Shannon. “He is the Head Assistant under Coach Mark Smartt, and he is going to try to encourage these kids to do the right thing. With a three-hour camp, there is not a whole lot that can be taught during that time, but we are going to cover the basics of hitting including the stance, grip, rhythm, and the basic motor skills of the swing. Hopefully each player will catch on and build off of that. During the summer, we will also have a three-day camp, and they can take what they learn and apply it to their season and always keep learning.”
In addition to Coach Gierke, special guest coaches of the camp will be Justin Veazey, a former player of Coach Shannon’s and now a current middle coach at Clanton, and Bill White, a long-time friend of Coach Shannon’s that also pitched in the majors for the Texas Rangers.
While Coach Shannon believes the camp will be beneficial to all, he hopes everyone will take more from it than just hitting advice.
“With the canned goods, we hope to teach them to be good people and do the right things,” said Coach Shannon. “It’s not all about baseball. I know winning is important, but all of these things go hand in hand. We are trying to get some work done on the baseball side of things, but most importantly, this is about community service, especially for the less fortunate. That’s our main goal.”
Pre-registration is not required but players need to be at the CHHS indoor hitting facility in before 9 a.m. this Saturday, Dec. 10.

Salesforce.com generated a great deal of media coverage when it announced plans to release Database.com, a fully functioning cloud-based database, sometime next year, but it will take more than headlines to win the business of some IT professionals.
While Salesforce.com has a proven track record in customer relationship management (CRM), IT industry analysts and end users say the company needs to demonstrate high levels of stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness if it wants Database.com to be successful against stiff competition from Microsoft and others.
But even that may not be enough to pique the interest of technology workers like Dathan Pattishall, the chief architect at RockYou Inc., a Redwood City, Calif.-based developer of games and advertising products for social media. Pattishall said he has no interest in Salesforce.com’s cloud-based database technology and the veteran database administrator (DBA) doesn’t expect that stance to change anytime soon.
“I have the ability to build a cloud-based solution myself [that is] much cheaper, much more reliable and in my control,” Pattishall said. “I have yet to see any sort of real-world [cloud-based database] solution that [operates] at a relatively low cost without a bunch of tie-ins to various tools and an excess amount of overhead that I would have to do personally to get it to work.”
Salesforce.com revealed plans to unleash Database.com at its annual Dreamforce user group meeting last week in San Francisco. Company officials said the new cloud-based database management system (DBMS) essentially consists of the same Oracle database that the company uses for its hosted CRM services, but with a software-based wrapper on top of it that provides additional management and security features as well as multitenancy.
Salesforce.com says Database.com will support multiple development languages and is geared toward organizations that want to create new applications for social media, mobile devices and other scenarios. The technology is currently not being marketed as a replacement for existing in-house DBMS implementations from the likes of Oracle and IBM.
“We see cloud databases as a massive market opportunity that will power the shift to enterprise applications that are natively cloud, mobile and social,” Salesforce.com chairman Marc Benioff said in statement.
Understanding the cloud-based database marketplace
The benefits of cloud computing and cloud-based databases can include reduced costs and advanced automation, experts say. But organizations interested in the technology need to weigh those benefits against privacy, security and latency concerns.
IT industry analysts said that it’s also a good idea to get a strong handle on the often confusing cloud-based data management market before moving forward with any investment decisions.
When Database.com becomes commercially available next year, it will join Microsoft SQL Azure as one of only two product offerings that can truly be called cloud-enabled DBMSs, according to Donald Feinberg, a vice president and information infrastructure analyst with Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. Gartner defines the phrase “cloud-enabled DBMS” as a hosted DBMS cloud service that offers multitenant elasticity and is used as a shared resource by independent user organizations or applications.
“The next question people ask is, ‘What about BigTable and SimpleDB from Google and from Amazon?’” Feinberg said. “But those are relaxed-consistency files systems and they are not DBMSs. Now, both companies would argue with me, but you cannot do complex transactions with either of those systems.”
Feinberg added that Amazon RDS is another product that is frequently mistaken for a true, cloud-enabled DBMS. “Amazon RDS is basically an implementation of MySQL on EC2,” he said. “It is not a cloud service, it’s not elastic and it’s not multitenanted.”
Beware of latency and read the fine print
Organizations considering a cloud-based database should also be aware of latency issues that can arise as a result of connecting applications to a DBMS over the Internet, according to experts.
Most organizations expect slight delays in performance when running applications on mobile devices such as iPads or smartphones, but that same amount of latency could be disturbing when sitting at a regular old desktop station in an office cubicle.
“Is the latency going to be so bad that organizations can’t use it? I doubt it,” Feinberg said. “But it may be surprising to people.”
Companies that decide to move forward with an investment in Database.com should also be aware of Salesforce.com’s historical approach to service-level agreements (SLAs). Feinberg said that organizations using Force.com -- Salesforce.com’s cloud-based application development platform -- do not receive SLAs for performance.
“I also believe that most of their contracts [including those governing the use of Salesforce.com and Force.com] are described as monthly charges, but you sign a one-year contract and there is no out clause,” he said. “So, those are contractual issues that we would warn people just to watch out for.”
Will cloud-based database automation lead to fewer DBA jobs?
Whenever a new technology comes along that increases levels of DBMS automation, some DBAs worry that their jobs will eventually go the way of the milkman. But many DBAs will view the increased automation associated with cloud-based DBMSs as more of a blessing than a curse, according to Noel Yuhanna, a data management expert and analyst with Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research Inc.
“DBAs are already doing more than what they should be doing,” Yuhanna said. “[Cloud-based databases] in fact will help them put more focus on mission-critical databases that need more attention.”

White House doubles funding request for border crisis
(07-08) 09:27 PDT WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration asked Congress on Tuesday for $3.7 billion in emergency funds, nearly double its initial estimates, to speed processing of a flood of unaccompanied children and others from Central America crossing the U.S. border in Texas.
The funding request comes as the administration tries to straddle a growing divide between Democrats who see the situation as a refugee crisis and Republicans who view it primarily as an illegal border crossing crisis.
The administration said the money would go to:
-- Deterrence, "including increased detainment and removal of adults with children and increased immigration court capacity to speed cases."
-- Enforcement, including increased surveillance and prosecution of criminal networks.
-- Foreign cooperation, "including improved repatriation and reintegration, stepped-up public information campaigns, and efforts to address the root causes of migration."
-- Greater capacity, "including increased detainment, care and transportation of unaccompanied children."
Democrats are defending a law that Congress passed in 2008 at the end of the George W. Bush administration that was aimed at countering child trafficking but which some now contend has backfired.
The William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, which was supported both by liberals and conservative evangelicals, bars the U.S. from returning unaccompanied minors to their homeland if they come from anywhere but Mexico or Canada. Some believe the law is being exploited by criminals who advertise in Central America that children can cross the border without fear of being turned away.
House Democrats will fight any effort to weaken the law, said an aide to a Bay Area Democrat.
The Republican chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky, welcomed the administration's funding request.
"Plainly, the situation for many of these unaccompanied children is extremely dire, and the United States has both a security and a moral obligation to help solve the crisis at hand," Rogers said. "It is clear that additional funding will be needed to ensure the proper care of these unaccompanied children, to enforce the law, and to further secure our border so that these problems can be mitigated in the short term. Our committee will focus on providing what is necessary to meet these ongoing needs."

This laundry was at 25A Hermitage Road, set behind the first terrace of house on the left as you enter from Green Lanes. I twas demolished when Homebase was enlarged at at the start of this century.
The image below shows the 1938 OS map overlaid on a present-day Google satellite image.
The laundry opened at the Hermitage Laundry by 1889*. By 1903, it is recorded as being partly owned by a Mrs Scales. By 1905 it had been taken over by Arthur George Scales.
The Scales name is one with some history in that part of Harringay. A William Scales is associated with setting up the tile kilns that used to stand where Sainsbury's now is. The family also used to own the house called "The Hermitage' on a private road, called Hermitage Road, which they also owned. It's inconceivable to imagine that the Laundry Scales weren't members of the old family.
Kelly's Directory 1903
Islington Gazette, 1906
By 1907, the Hermitage Laundry had closed. It was reopened as the Cyprus Laundry in 1908.
This 1914 booklet was published as a promotional freebie.
The text accompanying the images when I found them, described the item thus:
Edwardian complimentary booklet from The Cyprus Laundry, 25a Hermitage Road, Finsbury Park. Card cover with a beautiful reproduction of an Early Victorian style picture (reproduced by the 'Three Colour Process' from the original watercolour by MRS MABEL LOW) and ribbon to front. Inside cover carries complimentary dedication and charming explanation of the illustration. Inside contains 12 pieces of blotting paper in different shades of blue & pink. Only the first 2 show slight signs of ink marking - the rest are perfect. Set within some of the pages are seven satin type fabric swatches with most attractive designs, and some fabric scraps / trimmings. Back inside cover carries full page calendar for 1914 and postal information 23 cm x 20 cm.

Indus Valley Civilization – UNESCO world heritage and vibrant culture
Join us in an epic 1200 km road trip through the Indus Valley, plunging into 5000 years of history from the Bronze Age to contemporary day. The fertile floodplains of Punjab and Sindh bear witness to mighty civilizations that rose and fell by the banks of the River Indus and its tributaries. From the highly advanced urban developments of the ancient Indus Valley civilization, centers of learning and commerce that flourished during classical Buddhist and Hindu dynasties, shrines of Sufi saints who showed the masses ways of love, to mosques and monuments that commemorate rulers and leaders, these heritage sites are residues of a rich tapestry of diverse people’s stories that was interwoven on this land, intricately bound up with the changing flow of the rivers.
The Indus River is the lifeline of present day Pakistan. In ancient times, it was known in Sanskrit as Sindhu. Punjab is also named after its rivers: Panj-aab: the land of five rivers. This fan of tributaries join into the Indus in the border areas of Punjab and Sindh; its waters have nourished the alluvial soils of the two provinces, blessing its inhabitants with abundant agricultural produce.
In our journey, we will trace the river upstream from the coast of the Arabian Sea. The rivers of the Indus Valley have been channels of commerce and travel since ancient times. As early as 2600 BCE, the Indus Valley Civilization has been participating in maritime trade networks that extended from Central Asia to the Middle East. The army of Alexander the Great had marched south along the river in their Indian military campaign around 326 BCE, founding ‘Alexandria on the Indus’ at the junction of the Chenab and Indus, and waited for their fleet at Krokola (present day Karachi area) before departing for Babylonia. Arab traders have long been visiting ports on the Indus before Muslim armies invaded in the 8th century CE. The palm tree groves around the twin cities of Sukkar and Rohri are said to be accidentally sown by Arab soldiers when they discarded date seeds where they had camped. The rivers have also been conduits of folk romance and mysticism. We will visit shrines where Hindus and Muslims alike flocked, in reverence to Odero Lal and Khwaja Khizr, patron saints of the Indus, and Shah Latif, whose poetry includes spiritual interpretation of a legendary folktale: that of the heroine Sohni who swam across the River Chenab every night to meet her beloved Mahiwal.
We begin in Karachi, the 7th most populous city in the world in 2017, and the largest, most important commercial port city of Pakistan. Modern day Karachi was founded as Kolachi in 1729 and quickly gained importance after the arrival of the East India Company. After the British took over Sindh in the 19th century, Karachi grew into a bustling cosmopolitan city that continues to this day. We will see some of its early grandeur in the Mohatta Palace, built in 1927 by a Hindu Marwari businessman from present day Rajasthan as his summer home. Karachi briefly became the capital city of the newly independent Pakistan in 1947. We will visit the mausoleum of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Quaid-e-Azam (“great leader”) and founder of Pakistan, and the Tooba Mosque, a beautiful example of modern Islamic architecture built in 1969, for a taste of the history of modern day Pakistan. No visit to Karachi is complete without a stroll on Clifton Beach, a popular recreational spot for all urbanites, where colorfully decorated camels jostle with horses and dune buggies to take visitors for rides, and flavorful snack carts park at where the sea laps the sand.
We will set out toward Thatta, which was once a capital and center for Islamic culture between the 14th-18th centuries. The rulers of the Samma Dynasty are buried in the adjacent Makli necropolis, an UNESCO world heritage and the largest funerary site in the world, along with Sufi saints, their followers, and countless nobles and scholars. Feast your aesthetic senses on the intricate sculptural patterns in yellow sandstone at Makli, and dazzling blue tilework designs at the Shah Jahan Mosque in Thatta. We then continue on to Keenjhar Lake, where a folk romance unfolded between a royal Samma king, Jam Tamachi, and Noori, a fisherwoman whose community still work their decorated boats in this lake today. Then, we pay a visit to the shrine of Odero Lal, a site of Hindu-Muslim joint reverence for this saint of River Indus. Finally, we will rest for the night in Bhit Shah, at the abode of the 18th century saint Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai–the greatest mystical poet of Sindh. At the shrine, we will hear specialist devotees sing his poetry in a traditional musical style call Shah Jo Raag in the peace of the evening.
Today, we leap back 5000 years to the one of the most sophisticated major urban centers in the world in 2600 BCE. The famous Mohenjo-daro is a UNESCO world heritage site; it boasted of advanced urban planning and technologies such as drainage and water supply systems, public baths, baked brick houses, sectored land-use. At the museum, you will see important innovations of the Bronze Age including standardized weights, seal carving, and works in metallurgy. After this, we will head for the twin cities Sukkar and Rohri, built on opposite banks of the Indus. Rohri, under the guise of several names–Roruka, Rorik, Aror–was founded around 450 BCE and served as an important trading center and the capital of the Ror Dynasty, which ruled Sindh until 5th century CE. We will catch sights including the shrine of Khwaja Khizr, a saint who redirected the course of the Indus, whose shrine is on an island near the Landsowne Bridge, built in 1889 by the British and one of the first bridges to cross the River Indus. We retire for the night in new Sukkar, where the British constructed new infrastructures such as railways and the Sukkar Barrage, which controls one of the largest irrigation systems in the world.
We will head north out of Sindh into South Punjab to the small town of Uch, which is believed to be the site of Alexandria on the Indus, founded by Alexander the Great around 326 BCE. Uch was a regional metropolitan centre between the 12th and 17th centuries, it served as a stronghold of the Delhi Sultanate, as well as a center for religious learning. Later, the city became a center of Suharwadi Sufism. Some figures from this Sufi order are buried in the Uch Monument Complex; the most striking blue-tiled mausoleum, built in the 14th century, belongs to Bibi Jaiwindi, the great granddaughter of Sufi saint Jahaniyan Jahangasht. We then continue north into the heart of Punjab countryside to visit the site of Harappa, another ancient city in the Indus Valley Civilization, to marvel at its fortified administrative and religious centers and granaries. After this, we will speed toward Lahore, the Pearl of Punjab and City of Gardens, to feast heartily at its famous food street, and be enchanted by the illuminated Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque by night.
Today we will take in the opulence of the Mughal Empire at the height of its power in the 17th century. We start from the UNESCO heritage, Lahore Fort, an outstanding architectural complex of artistic splendour, including the Naulakha Pavilion, Sheesh Mahal (“Palace of Mirrors”), and glazed mosaics and scenes on the Picture Wall. The formidable Alamgiri Gate of the Fort faces the iconic Mughal-era Badshahi Mosque, as well as the Hazuri Bagh and Gurdwaras built during the 19th century Sikh Empire. We will walk through select areas of the historical Walled City of Lahore, to wonder at the breathtakingly beautiful colored frescos at Wazir Khan Mosque and Shahi Hammam (“royal baths”), wander through dense bazaars, spot ornate haveli mansions in the winding lanes, and exit through the Shahi Guzargah (“royal passage”) at the Delhi Gate. We finish off our tour on British-era Mall Road at the renowned Lahore Museum, which houses an extensive collection of Gandharan Buddhist art, as well as relics from the Indus civilization, Graeco-Bactrian periods, Mughal and Pahari painting, Sikh woodwork, an artistic and cultural culmination of our travels through the history of the Indus Valley.

Atkins’ followers risk a number of serious nutritional deficiencies. In fact, some people have become so deficient on low carb ketogenic diets that they almost went blind because their optic nerves started to degenerate.[263-264]
When cutting calories, it’s especially important to eat nutrient-dense diets, but the Atkins Diet presents a double whammy; it restricts the healthiest foods, like fruit, and unrestricts some of the unhealthiest, like meat. Shortly after Atkins’ original book was published, the highly prestigious Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics concluded that the Atkins Diet was “unbalanced, unsound and unsafe.” As noted in a Medical Times review, Atkins has created a “ridiculously unbalanced and unsound” “hazardous” diet. Twenty-seven years later the Medical Letter offered an update noting that the safety of the Atkins Diet had still “not been established.”
Low carbohydrate diets like Atkins maximize the consumption of disease-promoting substances like the cholesterol, saturated fat, and industrial pollutants in meat, yet restrict one’s intake of fiber and literally thousands of antioxidants and phytochemicals found exclusively in the plant kingdom (like the carotenoids, lycopenes, bioflavenoids, phytic acid, indoles, isothiocyanates, etc.) that have “anti-aging, anti-cancer and anti-heart disease properties.” As a 2004 medical review concluded, the Atkins Diet is so “seriously deficient” in nutrition that “there is real danger of malnutrition in the long term.”
Where might then one get one’s vitamins on the Atkins Diet? From the Atkins website, of course, on sale now for just over $640 a year. Add some antioxidants and the tab is up to $1000. That is, of course, in addition to the estimated $400-$1400 the pricey Atkins food–meat and cheese–costs every month (unless one chooses to live off hot dogs).
Realizing his diet is so deficient in nutrients, Atkins prescribed no less than 65 nutritional supplements in part to help fill the nutritional gaps created by his diet. A “proper Atkins Dieter” Atkins wrote, “follows the entire program, including the supplements.” In his last edition Atkins even had a chapter entitled “Nutritional Supplements: Don’t Even Think of Getting Along Without Them.” Perhaps this is because his corporation sells them.
“Who needs orange juice,” Atkins wrote, “when a Vitamin C tablet is so handy?” Oranges, of course, contain much more than vitamin C. As Sue Radd, a world leader on phytonutrient research, put it “There’s not one vitamin pill in the world that can give you everything you need.” A review in the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine agreed that the Atkins Diet is “deficient in nutrients that cannot be replaced by supplements and are excessive in nutrients that may increase the risk of mortality and chronic disease.”
Responding to the criticism that the Atkins Diet was deficient in fruits and vegetables, Atkins-funded researchers responded that people on Atkins could include a limited quantity of some vegetables “and even small amounts of fruit.” Even during later, more liberal phases of the diet, though, Atkins warned readers that eating fruit will “always be somewhat risky.” The Atkins researchers continued, “It would be prudent to take a multivitamin/mineral supplement.” A low carb diet is a low nutrition diet.

Summer is near.. and that means it is time to find a few leadership books for summer reading…
The idea is a simple and accurate one:
Readers become leaders.
And its converse is an important lesson for those who find themselves in the position to influence and lead others on a team or within an organization: leaders should be readers!
As a teamwork speaker and business team building facilitator, I often am asked after an event what I would suggest as the best books for new leaders to read.
So below, in no particular order, is a list of books I have recommended – the ones I would argue are the 15 essential leadership books to grow new leaders.
Some are well known classics, and others are more recent publications – but if you see one you aren’t familiar with, I’d encourage you to click on it and pick up a copy!
1. Crucial Conversations Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High, by Joseph Grenny and Kerry Patterson
This classic book gives you the tools to prepare for high-stakes situations, transform anger and hurt feelings into powerful dialogue, and be persuasive, not abrasive as a communicator.
2. QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, by John G. Miller
This is a book that teaches you to change your questions and provides a method for putting personal accountability into daily action, which can bring astonishing results.
3. How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie
Another classic written decades ago, the book covers timeless truths for engaging people and earning the right to be heard. Simple lessons in emotional intelligence.
4. Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, by Chip and Dan Heath
This book explains ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the “Velcro Theory of Memory,” and creating “curiosity gaps” to make the important ideas you will share even more memorable.
5. Winning Well: A Manager’s Guide to Getting Results, by Karin Hurt and David Dye
This book shares useful ideas on setting aggressive goals – and how to make those goals feel achievable. One of the favorite techniques shared is the use of “confidence bursts”
Feedback truly is the breakfast of champions, and this book provides steps for overcoming feedback avoidance and leaping forward with better employee engagement and performance
7. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen Covey
This incredible and often-quoted book covers seven key habits that successful people in any industry make a conscious effort to apply, and belongs on every leaders shelf.
8. Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits, by Gretchen Rubin
Your habits ultimately become your destiny. This book presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits—and to change them for good.
9. Dare to Serve: How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others, by Cheryl Bachelder
Servant leadership is sometimes derided as soft or ineffective, but this book is a practical and useful tool that shows how it’s actually challenging and tough minded and creates positive results.
10. Leadership and Self-Deception, by the Arbinger Institute
This is one of the books I recommend most to team members who are beginning their leadership journey. It’s a parable about a self-absorbed man who learns to think beyond himself.
11. Lead Positive: What Highly Effective Leaders See, Say, and Do, by Kathryn Cramer
Cramer provides a clear and easy to read playbook for leaders to begin to see possibilities rather than problems, say what will inspire your people, and do things that may now seem uncomfortable.
12 . Lead with a Story: A Guide to Crafting Business Narratives, by Paul Smith
This book is precious because it teaches you how to tell stories that build bridges into the future you desire and how to engage an audience the way logic and bullet points alone never can.
13. The Genius of Opposites: How Introverts and Extroverts Achieve Extraordinary Results Together by Jennifer B. Kahnweiler PhD
Kahnweiler shares a practical five-step process to help introverts and extroverts understand and appreciate each other’s wiring, use conflicts to spur creativity, and learn from each other.
Edmonds presents the necessary steps to drafting an organizational constitution and clarifying a shared vision to inspire engaged employees who are inspired to be a part of something purposeful.
15. The Go-Giver – A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea, by Bob Burg
This is a powerful parable about how changing your focus from getting to giving – and putting others’ interests first by adding value to their lives – will ultimately lead to more significant success.
And as a bonus, (in the spirit of shameless self-promotion) I would also encourage you to add one other book to your reading list:
16. The 10 Commandments of Winning Teammates, by Sean Glaze
This story’s main character benefits from ten essential lessons during his journey to his next job that will inspire you to be a winning teammate – regardless of the industry you work in…
I hope this list of books for new leaders is helpful.
And I am confident that you will see a positive impact on your awareness and effectiveness after reading and applying the ideas in the books above…
I hope you consider growing yourself by picking up at least a few of them.
And after looking over this list (which is certainly not comprehensive), I’d be curious to hear what other books YOU would recommend to new leaders!
Leaders are readers…

Helping aging citizens stay safe in winter
Every year, Minnesota’s severe winter weather conditions grip media attention and public consciousness. In fact, dozens of U.S. states experience winters of heavy snow and ice. Yet the question of how winter weather shapes health and wellbeing is often overlooked.
U of M researcher Jessica Finlay is finding that snow and ice can promote, as well as diminish, health and wellbeing in older adults.
Finlay, a doctoral fellow in the Department of Geography, Environment, and Society and the Center on Aging, conducted research with 125 adults (aged 55–91) from the Minneapolis area.
“I did not plan to study winter,” she says. “In fact, I conducted my interviews in summer and fall ... yet more than 83 percent of participants brought up their interactions with snow and ice at least once during their interviews.”
Finlay was surprised by the widespread positive comments about winter weather. “Many participants were proud at their ability to survive, and even thrive, during Minnesota’s tough winters,” she says. “It formed a part of their self-worth and identities.”
Participants also mentioned enjoying snow, winter leisure activities, and bonding with neighbors and family over shared experiences such as shoveling driveways and sidewalks.
According to Finlay, deeper knowledge of both positive and negative impacts of winter weather can be used in community programs and urban planning to minimize harms and maximize positive aspects.
She encourages policymakers and community organizations to get creative, offering ideas including neighborhood shoveling programs, community service organizations to facilitate seasonal activities, and check-in systems for more-isolated older adults.

Note: This piece was originally written for my Common App college application, in response to the essay prompt “Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?”
Fourteen years ago I learned how to bike, but six months ago I learned why. Six months ago I discovered the true power of biking, not just as a form of transportation, but also as a tool for improving personal and planetary health. My embrace of cycling began as an environmental gesture: I decided for all the global-warming-related fear I bear, I should explore the viability of biking more and driving less. This seemed like a simple action I could take to directly reduce my carbon footprint, and while I anticipated the change would make my life harder and less comfortable, that was a sacrifice I felt willing to make. Before long, however, I found biking was not a sacrifice at all, but rather… a gift. I have discovered that biking creates a space in my life to connect with my mind, body, and environment, in a society where that space can be hard to find.
In the fast-paced, hyper-connected haze of modern life, it can be difficult to find a quiet moment. After eight hours in school, my attention turns to homework, friends, family, and various hobbies and commitments. When down time arrives, an endless assortment of songs, videos, articles, and status updates readily fills it, ensuring my mind is constantly occupied. On my bike, everything slows down, and I finally have a chance to process all the information I have consumed. Consequently, a quiet bike ride is often the most creative and self-reflective part of my day.
In a society where movement has been rendered largely unnecessary by machines, I am grateful, too, for the exercise biking provides. With each ride, I have an opportunity to challenge myself— to push my body and discover its limits. The more I bike, the stronger my legs become, enabling me to complete my commutes faster, and with greater ease. When I step off my bike, I feel healthy, happy, and invigorated. That renewal of strength and energy carries into every aspect of my life.
Furthermore, as I feel sun on my skin and wind in my face, I experience a connection to my environment that can be deeply gratifying. In a car, I am loud, destructive, and oblivious to what’s around me; I feel like a tyrannical master of the world. On my bike, I am a humble traveler, quietly dancing with my environment. In adverse Colorado weather, the comforts of driving can become tempting, but I have discovered the discomforts of biking can be even more enjoyable. To get soaking wet, to get freezing cold, to sweat and struggle and fly, is to become awake, alive, and aware of the beautiful diversity of the human experience!
I began biking for the planet: to mitigate my contribution to global warming. I continue biking for myself: for the joy of clearing my mind, strengthening my body, and engaging with my environment. Indeed, it is my belief that personal and planetary health are inextricably intertwined, and there is great wisdom in the realization that what’s good for the planet is good for you. When we grow pesticide-free foods, protect pristine wilderness from industry, curb pollution, and resist the insidious pull of frantic consumerism by choosing to buy fewer things, I believe we benefit just as much as the planet does. Despite these convictions, I often struggle to align my actions with my beliefs, and feel tension and sadness as a result. When I step onto my bike, I transcend my hypocrisies, and become the person I want to be. I feel reaffirmed in my beliefs, because I am able to experience their validity firsthand: I am doing what’s right for the planet, and I am benefiting, not suffering, as a result. On my bike I feel strong, connected, and my purpose is clear. On my bike, I am perfectly content.

Tribal Observer Issue: October 15, 2005
A Tribal court judge is expected to rule Oct. 21—10 days after the primary election—over unresolved issues concerning a District 1 candidate and her attempt to circumvent and abolish mandatory drug testing for Tribal Council hopefuls.
The matter is expected to be heard before Saginaw Chippewa Community Court Judge Bruce E. Plackowski, who originally ruled against Delores Jackson’s request for a temporary preliminary injunction on Sept. 8.
All nine District 1 incumbents will be on the general election ballot after slightly more than half of the registered voters whittled the choices from 57 to 20 on
Timothy Davis, who has served on several Tribal Councils, was the election’s top vote getter with 203. Of the 809 registered voters in the district, 439 participated in the primary election for a 54 percent turnout. Results are unofficial and there is a seven-day protest period before they are certified. Several protests are expected to be filed over the election.

Thousands of people working at fast-food restaurants have a common demand: $15 an hour and the right to unionize. At McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Burger King and KFC stores and other grease-slinging corporations, people protested the low wages.
“We are all going through the same thing. We get burns from deep fryers. We don’t have health benefits. We get treated unfairly in the workplaces. We need more wages,” said Naquasia LeGrand, who works at a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in Brooklyn.
The protests has spread to many cities in US – Detroit, Flint, Kansas City, Memphis, New York City, Chicago, Washington D.C., where thousands of people risked their job.
In July, president Obama launched a national economic speaking tour. The president proposed to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour. It has stalled in Congress.
“I’m really proud of this movement,” says LeGrand. “It’s something historical; it’s never been done.”

Solid-state drives are best suited to savvy PC users who seek high performance. If you don't mind managing multiple volumes and you have the budget, pairing a fast SSD with a high-capacity hard drive will result in the best of both worlds. The SSD can hold the OS and your most frequently used applications, while the hard drive can handle the bulk-storage duties. Managing multiple storage volumes can be a bit of a pain for casual PC users; if you know your way around a PC, however, combining a fast SSD and large hard-drive storage is a great, high-performance approach with minimal compromise.
If you're considering making the jump to a solid-state drive, check out PCWorld's ultimate guide to SSDs, which reviews seven of the top SSDs on the market today.
Hybrid hard drives
Hybrid hard drives blend HDD capacity with SSD speeds by placing traditional rotating platters and a small amount of high-speed flash memory on a single drive.
Hybrid storage products monitor the data being read from the hard drive, and cache the most frequently accessed bits to the high-speed NAND flash memory. The data stored on the NAND will change over time, but once the most frequently accessed bits of data are stored on the flash memory, they will be served from the flash, resulting in SSD-like performance for your most-used files.
Some of the advantages of hybrid storage products include cost, capacity, and manageability. Because only a relatively small solid-state volume is required to achieve significant performance gains, a large investment in a high-capacity SSD isn't necessary. Hybrid drives tend to cost slightly more than traditional hard drives, but far less than solid-state drives. And because the cache volume is essentially hidden from the OS, users aren't required to cherry-pick the data to store on the SSD to prevent it from filling up. The hybrid storage volume can be as big as the hard drive being used, and can serve as a standard hard drive. Boot times also see some improvement.
Where hybrid products falter is with new data. When writing new data or accessing infrequently used bits, hybrid products perform just like a standard hard drive, and new hybrid drives have a "break-in period" while the software learns which data to cache. Due to the fact that hybrid products rely on caching software, they can also be somewhat more difficult to configure.
For users who don't want the responsibility of managing multiple volumes or who don't constantly work with new data, a hybrid drive can be a great option to improve system performance--all without having to give up any capacity or having to deal with the headaches of using separate solid-state and hard-disk drives.
