Happy Thanksgiving week!Thanksgiving began as a time to celebrate God's provision in the lives of a small group of Christians. But a thanksgiving feast wasn't their idea! From the beginning, God has been telling his people to feast and that feasting can actually be a form of worship. All feasting should point us to a time when we will feast in total comfort and security away from sin and distress in the presence of God.The fall feasts of Israel were a little different than our Thanksgiving celebrations, but they too were times when families traveled from long distances to gather together and eat specific traditional foods. Today I am joined by two of my closest friends and fellow Bible teachers Laura Balikian and Amanda Hughes and we are going to spend a few minutes chatting through the ancient fall feasts of the Israelites, seeing how those feasts ultimately find their fulfillment in Christ and finally reflecting on how we can serve up our families a picture of the gospel through the way that we set our tables and prepare our food.*****Bible Talk Podcast by IX https://www.9marks.org/episode/leviticus-16-on-the-pinnacle-of-the-pentateuch-bible-talk-ep-39/

I truly believe everyone has something unique to offer the Tarot world. If you're a writer or artist or wise wanderer YOU have a unique perspective that will enrich this community. You can offer yet another bridge to self-understanding and inner illumination that no one else can. It has been my great joy to sit with and press “record” on over 100 conversations with wisdom seekers of the world. And then I met Mandy.   When I had a chance to review Mystic Storyteller: A Writer's Guide to Using the Tarot for Creative Inspiration, I had a moment to myself where I said, “THIS is the book I wish I could have written!” Truthfully, Mandy's got the creds to speak thoroughly on tarot and writing. She has written over a dozen literary works and even has a couple pen names under her belt! Well, if you can't beat ‘em, join em! And we do just that here on Substack in our latest Archetypal Tarot Podcast. I cannot even begin to describe how much this book offers writers, creatives and tarot enthusiasts alike. This book is CHOCK-FULL of guidance as Mandy takes you by the hand, weaving in her personal experience with the timeless wisdom of the tarot. If you're like me, you might for the first time feel capable of writing that first great American novel! Her book covers: Enhancing creativity. Strengthening writer's intuition. Inspiring ideas and composition. Improving storytelling proficiency through building confidence and encouraging authenticity of voice and style. Nurturing rich character- and world-building practices. Elevating plot and scene development skills. Troubleshooting writer's block. Supporting self-discovery and wellness routines. Mapping out a memoir. The companion deck, illustrated by Roz Kazaz, is inspired by Rider-Waite-Smith but incorporates the modern visages and true diversity that reflect our world. Playfully, writing paraphernalia populates the tools of the tarot characters:     Mandy's fundraising campaign reached full support since we recorded this podcast.

Topics we discuss in this week's episodeAmanda, you were one of four scholars who published an article titled “When Official Systems Overload: A Framework for Finding Social Media Calls for Help during Evacuations” (Link) where it was stated “the challenge is that as citizens turn to social media to request evacuation help, official emergency response organizations have limited knowledge or experience of information processing in this new media environment” If possible could you elaborate on this?   To follow up on our previous question, are we better prepared to handle social media requests for help?Amanda discusses the filtering of data by Criteria and why is this important.Next we discussed the article Amanda published with Yajie Li and Peter Howe, titled, “Communicating Crisis with Persuasion: Examining Official Twitter Messages on Heat Hazards.”  It was stated that, ”However, little research attention has been paid to probing the content of crisis messages for its potential contribution to persuasion, especially when those messages are sent through social media.” Why is developing a message that is persuasive critical during these types of disasters? You use the term “Persuasive Message Factors”Amanda provides examples of PMF's.We discussed Amanda's development of an application for her thesis The article was titled, “Designing an Application for Social Media Needs in Emergency Public Information Work.” This article was about creating a software application that could meet the needs of Public Information Officers.Amanda Hughes EmailAmanda's Website - http://amandaleehughes.com/Sales Bluebird for leaders and go-to-market teams at cyber security startupsTips, tricks, ideas and inspiration from legendary cyber security CEOs and CROsListen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

On Episode 19 of Ruck Up Buttercup, Sabrina Johannes, Ashley Brown, and Amanda Hughes chat about Finances. Amanda tells us her story as she ventured into the military life on chance. And we all discussed the very little mentioned subject of finances. It's avoided, sometimes joked about, and very often misunderstood by those not in the military. But the struggle is real as we all discuss the times when being part of the military family was very difficult on our bank account. As always we discuss a lot of things that are out there to help support the military family during financial struggles and also just learning to live within your means.

This is officially a special bonus episode! We're looking at the role product innovation plays in advancing the art of kitchen and bathroom design and what exactly constitutes innovation in the first place.We are, as you know, supported in this season of the podcast by kbb 2020 - the biggest kitchen, bedroom and bathroom trade show in the UK - and a big part of that show is the Innovation Awards.These are product awards that look at new developments and creative ideas in the sector and our very own managing editor Andy Davies was part of the judging panel that came up with the shortlist. At the show, which runs from March 1-4 at the NEC, the shortlist will be on display and visitors will vote on their favourites.So the judging day seemed like a good excuse to have a chat about product innovation in general and its importance to kitchen and bathroom designers.Along with Andy there are kitchen and bathroom designers Richard Hibbert (kslsudbury.co.uk ) and Colin Wong (developmentdirect.co.uk), as well as Amanda Hughes from Blum (https://www.blum.com/gb/en/)Don't forget to subscribe to us wherever you get your podcasts to make sure you never miss an episode and we'll see you next time for the last episode before the kbb show!Quick confession -  one of the reasons why this a bonus is because the sound quality is not as good as our usual episodes. We had some technical gremlins and so this is actually our back-up recording rather than the main recording. But there's a lot of really good stuff in here so we thought it would be a real shame not to put it up so bear with the sound, it's worth it!

Have you ever felt like somebody is watching you? Every day, we receive dozens of emails, interact with colleagues via instant messengers and increasingly use internal social media to document our output – all of which can be now be used by employers to gain greater insights into what’s happening at work. In this episode of That HR Podcast, People Management’s Lilly Howlett and Maggie Baska discuss how far employee monitoring can go with Ankur Modi, the founder and chief executive of Status Today, and Ed Houghton, head of research at the CIPD. They ask if increasing use of employee monitoring is truly good for business or a dangerous intrusion. And in the modern workplace, HR professionals wear multiple hats as coaches, teachers and employment law specialists – but how about also being a couples counsellor? We meet Amanda Hughes, who went from being a successful people professional to helping people work on a very different kind of relationship. Plus, Tim Pointer helps a listener concerned they are being asked to unfairly work overtime on projects that their colleague can’t do because of caring responsibilities. Don't forget to give us your feedback by tweeting us at @peoplemgt or email pmeditorial@haymarket.com.

Amanda Hughes-Munson spent years trying to find out why her throat hurt and why she had no energy and couldn't sleep. After 3 surgeries she was finally diagnosed with a hypothyroidism, and possibly Hashimoto's. She opted to use diet, natural supplements & CBD oil to reduce her lab numbers. When she refused to take Synthroid her doctor fired her. After she was fired and waiting to go see a new endocrinologist she started incorporating THC into her supplement regimen. Her throat stopped hurting, AND her thyroid lab results returned to normal! Now Amanda spends her time continuing her research into the medical uses of cannabis and has taken that a step further by becoming a certified cannabis educator.

Amanda Hughes-Boys and Girls Club of Salt Lake City-Discussed ways the organization is helping kids from underprivileged areas be able to get ahead and succeed in life.

Todays episode is an interview with Amanda Hughes of the Doan Group. You'll hear what the Doan Group wants and desires out of their auto damage appraisers. At the end of the episode I give you 5 practical steps you can apply today to become a more valuable auto damage appraiser. You can check out The Doan Group HERE Want to learn how to be and become an auto damage appraiser? I created an online course for you to learn how. You can check out Crash Course HERE   5 Easy Tasks to Make You More Valuable as an Auto Damage Appraiser   When I interviewed Amanda Hughes of the Doan Group, (Listen to the podcast interview HERE) she repeatedly said that communication was the number one thing that makes an appraiser good and that will set them apart from other appraisers. She didn't leave it at this theory of “communication,” she also gave practical examples of how Doan (and I assume other IA firms) would like appraisers to communicate with them. I thought I'd make a list and give you 5 practical tasks you could start doing today to make you a more valuable auto damage appraiser.   Status “File Received” As a previous dispatcher, I can tell you it drives a dispatcher crazy wondering if the appraiser you just assigned the claim will actually check their email and take action on the file. We'd rather not wait two days to find out you are not available to complete the claim, but we also don't want to have to call you every time we assign a claim. Make the dispatchers job easier by simply adding the status to the file, “File Received” upon receiving a new assignment. If the dispatcher sees that you are consistent with this, they will relax, love you for it and probably assign you more files.   Status Your Files Everyday Part of being an auto damage appraiser is managing your open claims. I challenge you to start your morning off dedicated to adding a status to all your files across the different IA firms. I did this consistently in my local claim days and I always was glad I did. Even if you copy and paste your previous status, it will reassure the company that you are aware of the file and that the situation has not changed. This will help you by eliminating a lot of phone calls and help you not forget about a claim. It really doesn't take that long, you just need to do it. Trust me it will help!   Answer Your Phone As a national operations manager, I counted that I received over a hundred phone calls a day on a regular basis. As an auto damage appraiser, it wasn't much better and it can physically make you sick when you hear your phone rings. (side note, try changing your ring tone. I change mine if I start to feel sick when I hear my phone ring. I've ruined some great songs by making them a ring tone, but I've given better customer service) I challenge you to pick up your phone and answer it as much as humanly possible during the work day. People want to talk to a person. I've received more compliments about me answering my phone, than anything else I've done. People know you are busy and respect when you value them enough to answer the call.   Document What the Owner Says Many times we are in such a hurry that what the owner of a vehicle says to us goes in one ear and out the other. Make sure you write down and document what the owner says. The owner of a vehicle will feel very frustrated if their concerns go unheard. The inside adjuster will be frustrated when they get a call from the owner who is stating they already explained this to the appraiser. Questions, concerns, or explanations of the accident, write it down.   Respond to Emails We've all done it, ignored the supplement request, forgotten about it, lost it in the pile of email etc. We get SO MANY emails each day and it can be overwhelming to keep up with everything. Just like creating a “file received” status. Responding to an email and set the expectations of when you will address the issue and it will eliminate future problems and complaints. People want to know that you are working on their issue.   You may be saying, “Now all of this is great advice Chris, but how in the world am I going to keep track of all of this?” Great question and to answer it in full would probably take a whole other article, but I'll give you a short answer. If you like using phone apps (I do and it saves me) download Trello. It's an app that allows you to organize and manage almost anything! It does great with task management. Each time you receive a call make a new card (basically a virtual sticky note) in Trello in your to-do column, each email you receive that requires a future action create another card so on and so forth. If you are more traditional with pen and paper simply get a Moleskin or other small style notebook to carry in your pocket wherever you go. Write down a to do task every time you get a call or email and the notes that the owner of the vehicle stated to you. I hope that helps. Download the Trello app and email me at Chris@IAPath.com to let me know you are going to try it out. Keep walking your path.
