Flowers - Nicolas Brown x Reader

(( Special thanks to my fren, @ittokan​ , for fangirling with me over Gangsta, and I truly hope you start writing for this fandom and all the others that you love, without feeling pressured or anything! <3 ))

“Worick?” Alex’s soft voice asked in curiosity as she noticed there were many vases around the house, filled with lots of colourful flowers.  “Yes, Ally?” the platinum haired man lit up a cigarette, looking at the girl with a mischievous smile - He knew what she wanted to ask. “What’s with...All the flowers? Every day they keep adding up...What’s the occasion? I-I’m not saying they’re not beautiful, they are! And they smell gorgeous, it’s a really nice change to this place...But what’s with the sudden change?” she perked up, sniffing a blue flower. “Well, Ally, do you know who bought them?” Worick asked, exhaling, letting smoke come out of his mouth. “You bought them, right? Or are they from Nina?” Alex blinked in confusion, not understanding where the man was going to. “Nope. You’re wrong to the core. Care to try again?” the man chuckled, incredibly amused as he saw her eyes widen in shock “Don’t tell me...Nic bought them?!” she gasped, not comprehending the logic behind it. “You’ve got it right! Nic got them! All 7 vases, and all the different 5 coloured flowers.” he flicked the cigarette softly to get the burnt area out of the window. “But...Why? I didn’t see him as a guy who’d like flowers that much as to waste his money on them?” the girl tilted her head to the side, looking like a confused puppy. “You and me both, Alex! But I assure you, he doesn’t know that either. Buuuuut he knows something that you don’t~! Wanna know what it is?” Worick put out the cig, putting his arm around her shoulders, getting closer to her face. “What is it? Why is Nic buying flowers?!” she asked impatiently, not even caring that she’s so close to the man. “Nicolas is in loooooove~!” the blue eyed man cheered loudly, making the girl squeal in shock at the sudden loud noise, before realising what he just said. “WHAT?!” she gasped, not believing what she just heard. “Yeeees, you heard that right! Nic has a crush on the flower girl! She’s a reaaal cutie, I’m telling you...But not really my style. I’ve talked to her once, she’s perfect for him.” he grinned widely, seeing the girl’s curiosity. “I had no idea there was a flower shop around!” she scratched the back of her head sheepishly. “Well, I wouldn’t be surprised. There’s only one, but thankfully, she sells for both Twilights and Non-Twilights alike. What a sweet girl. Nic mentioned she started learning sign language for him, and she got a little white table with colourful markers. I’m sure you’d like her.” he winked at her, making her smile softly. “It would be nice to see them together one day. Think he’d ever bring her around?” she asked excitedly. “Nahhh, no way. This place is a dump. She’s sunshine incarnated, she deserves better. Oh, and, she’s a doctor working here because this was her mother’s shop or something like that.” he spoke as a matter of fact. “Woaw, a doctor...She must be so smart. Is she like Dr. Theo?” Alex was full of questions of this young woman that managed to capture the rough man’s heart. “Who knows? We’ll see, I guess. Unless...You want to spy on them one day.” Worick winked at her, nodding towards her to follow. “Come on, I have something to get from her since Nic can’t make it today.”

The h/c girl made a little braid on the side of her long hair as she read a new medical book she received yesterday, a soft smile evident on her face as the sunlight gently illuminated her face. Soft jazz music was heard throughout the little parlor and the mesmerising perfume of the infinite flowers was almost drunkening.

She didn’t even realise someone came in the shop, until the man greeted her with a friendly “Yoooo!” as if they’ve been friends since childhood.

“Oh, hello! Sorry I didn’t notice you, I got a bit too absorbed in this book. I’m Y/N, it’s very nice to see new faces around!”  her grin was so dazzling that it almost made Alex blush. “It’s great to meet you too. I’m Worick and this is Alex. We’ve come here to pick something up, since my friend couldn’t come today. Know what I’m talking about?” he leaned on the counter, and just as he mentioned that friend, he saw a beautiful spark glow in her e/c eyes. “Oh, you’re Nic’s friends! I’m so happy to meet his friends, he spoke so fondly of you! I’ll give you the flowers in a sec, please wait!” she spoke enthusiastically, rushing in the back of the parlor to pic them up. “Told ya she’s a beauty.” Worick nudged the flustered woman as the owner of the shop came with a beautiful bouquet of blue hibiscus. “Here you go! I hope he likes them. Tell Nic I said hi, okay?” she handed the man the bouquet of blue flowers. “Red, orange, yellow, green, blue...Now indigo...These are the colours of the rainbow!” Alex gasped in realisation, making Y/N grin even wider. “Oh, yes, that’s exactly it! I promised Nic I would help him find out what’s his favourite colour and flower, so every day, I’d give him a bouquet of flowers, each day, a different colour of the rainbow. I’m so happy that someone realised that!” she clapped her hands enthusiastically. “He has 7 different vases at home, and in all of them, there are flowers of different colours, that’s how I realised. They are so beautiful!” Alex took a sniff of them, a smile forming on her face. “Aww, I’m so happy you like them! Hmm...Ah, I’ve got this! Wait a second...Wait a second...And this...A little bow...And here! This is for you! Blue orchids. They represent  delicate beauty, power and stability. I think that suits you a lot, especially since they are the same colour as your eyes!” the girl’s eyes smiled with genuine emotion, as Alex could only stare at her with genuine shock. “N-No, I-I-I couldn’t possibly-...I have no money and-...” she kept ranting on, but the h/c girl only shook her head. “Don’t worry, it’s a gift. Any friend of Nic is definitely a nice person, so I don’t mind! Besides, I keep this place more as an emotional thing, since this was mum’s. All my money actually come from my other profession, so I’m not going to get broke by gifting flowers, you know?” she giggled softly, making the other girl blush even more. “Th-Thank you...Y/N. They are gorgeous. Thank you.” was the only think she could say, holding the flowers close to her. “Well, Ally, we have to go. Thanks for today, Y/N, see you around. Oh, and...Take care of Nic for me, will ya?” Worick winked at the girl, who only nodded and waved.

As the pair walked out of the place, Worick lit up his cigarette, looking up at the sky with a soft smile.

“So, Ally, what do you think of our new friend?” he asked with a tint of amusement in his voice. “I can see why Nic likes her. She’s so beautiful and bright...She is someone that this city needs. Do you think her smile is contagious? I think it is...I hope Nic gets to smile genuinely too.” the girl looked down with a soft smile at the flowers.

The end of the day soon arrived, and along with it, the end of the book that the girl was reading so attentively. When making gifts for people she cared about, she wanted to be 100% informed so as to not make any mistakes, but with this, there was no way she could possibly fail.

She wasn’t sure why she was willing to invest so much time and money on a gift for a person she just met barely a few day prior, but there was something in her heart that burned, screaming at her to do just that and not hesitate.

Y/N has always been a highly rational person, preferring to choose her brain over her feelings, which is possibly why she has always been alone. She never saw herself as an overly sociable person, but she didn’t think she was that disagreeable or intimidating, so the reason why people would treat her like a ghost unless they needed something truly irritated her endlessly, so she decided not to bother with people again.

It was bad enough that her mother, her only true friend, died, and her only family alive was her sister, who was a mean girl with some kind of personal vendetta against the Tags, only for the sake of being discriminatory.

Her trust in people went down the drain further when she experienced how even the people she would call “boyfriends” were nothing more than selfish nuisances that had to be completely cut off.

She completely dedicated herself to her work and to the little flower shop, re-naming it after her mother, so as long as she was surrounded by all the loving animals at the clinic and could be surrounded by flowers, as long as her pets would greet her every day in her gorgeously furnished house with the money that she worked so hard for, and as long as she could travel the world and see all the beauty that life has to offer...

Then she could live without others.

Well, that was quickly shattered when she met the man called Nicolas Brown, a deaf man that came by to buy flowers to gift Nina, the little nurse who helps Dr. Theo, since it was her birthday and he had no idea what to give her that she would actually like.

She didn’t know sign language, so she proposed to write on paper to understand everything, despite the man insisting that he can read her lips perfectly well. Y/N, as soon as she heard about Nina, knew exactly what to give the man, and even thanked him for taking care of the little ball of sunshine, which made him blink at her in surprise, then leave.

She thought that was the end of it, that she’d never see him again, and that was it.

Boy, was she wrong.

The next day, he came by her parlor again, but this time, with no actual reason.  He just stared at her awkwardly, looking left and right, scratching at his cheek with his finger, trying to come up with some conversation idea, but he wasn’t used to conversing with anyone, so he just stood there.

Luckily for him, the girl started asking about his favourite colours and flowers, which made them both realise he never even thought of such trivial things...But it was nice to not have to think about fights, death and problems, and just stay calmly to look at flowers...And just...Be mundane.

Much to the girl’s glee, Nicolas’s visits became frequent, so the girl offered to help him find out his favourite flowers and colours, but really, all she wanted was to spend more time with him, because, for the first time in ages, she could feel her heart moving like never before.

She felt alive around Nicolas.

She even bought a little whiteboard with lots of colourful markers so they could write as creatively and colourful as they wanted, encouraging him to try out anything he wanted.

Seeing that he was pretty interested in these little things, she bought him those adult anti-stress and anxiety colouring books with flowers and got him tons of crayolas and markers in all shades existent, letting him hang around and colour whatever he wanted.

Much was her surprise when he asked her to draw one page while he drew the other, which made her cheeks get a tint rosier from happiness.

On the free time between colouring, she would learn sign language and would get help from him to perfect it, because she was so sloppy and messy at the beginning that she somehow managed to tell Nic to kiss his own face with a chair, which made him laugh quite a lot.

Very soon, the end of the 7 days came by, and she had to choose the last flower, a violet one, but what could she give him to make it have a lasting impression...

Oh, of course, easy question!

She waited anxiously for the man to arrive as she made the bouquet be more beautiful than ever before, then went to the counter to look through a fashion magazine she had laying around, and when evening came and the Sun started to set, the man arrived, looking a bit tired, but his expression softened as soon he laid his eyes upon her peaceful visage.

She raised her face, looking at him with big, sparkly doe eyes, only to realise it was him, which made her quickly jump to her feet and get in front of him, and to him, she looked so bright that he thought he was staring at the Sun.

Nicolas signed slow enough for her to understand that he couldn’t stay for too long, so she nodded and got the bouquet, handing it to him gently, with a sad smile.

“Do you like them?” Y/N asked, also signing to make sure he understands what she was saying. “Yes. What are they called?” he signed slowly, gazing at the small flowers. “They are called Forget-Me-Not flowers. They are most usually given to people that you don’t want to get forgotten by.” the girl blushed faintly, as she noticed his eyes grow bigger, than looking away, scratching the back of his head. “I...Could never forget you.” he spoke out loud for the first time, making the girl’s heart beat faster than ever before. “You have a beautiful voice. I wish you’d speak more.” she smiled tenderly at him, which only made his cheeks flare up. “Wanna go for a walk?” he asked again, extending his hand towards the girl. “I’d love that.” she quickly closed the shop, taking her purse and intertwining her fingers with his, they started walking around the town aimlessly.

This supposed ‘Aimless’ wasn’t, however, as random as she thought, as Nic guided her to one of the tallest buildings in town, and without too much warnings, expect telling her to hold tightly to him, he started jumping from wall to wall until they got on top, where they could see the Sun setting down, and the sky being painted in a myriad of colours.

They sat down on the edge of the roof, dangling their feet, still holding hands, enjoying the peaceful silence that engulfed them, until he started speaking again.

“I don’t know what my favourite colour is. The rainbow is nice. But this is nice too.” Nic slurred slowly, making the girl look at him with a gentle look in her eyes. “Nature paints everything with the most beautiful colours. Don’t you want to see the world? See all the beauty that it has to offer?” she asked with a smile on her face. “I’m a Tag, I can’t leave this place.” he signed, his eyes looking at her with a certain kind of hurt that broke her heart. “Actually, there are exceptions. I read the law, they say that a single Twilight can leave this place if a Non-Twilight vouches for them and stays with them at all times.” she smiled even brighter as she saw his eyes widen in shock. “Really?” he signed, as she nodded vigurously. “Then...Where do you want to go first?” Nic offered her a mischievous smirk, making her throw her arms around him. “You’re gonna love it!” she exclaimed, as she felt his arms slowly engulf her in a warm embrace. “Your voice...Is beautiful.” he murmured, barely comprehensible. “What do you mean?” Y/N asked, looking at him with curious eyes. “Your voice’s vibrations are...Warm and soothing.” he explained, burying his face in her hair, drawing her closer to his chest.

Her chest was glued to his, and she could feel his heart beating so fast, so loud, mimicking hers, almost as if they were beating in sync, as one. The emotions they felt were explosive, so powerful, something so pure and warm that was meant to put an end to all of their previous suffering and distress, all the betrayal, the disappointment, the anger and sorrow they’ve ever experienced.

The embrace lasted for them like a whole timeline ending, and after they pulled apart, timidly looking at each other’s eyes, they leaned in, her hands on his shoulders, while one of his was on the back of her head, while the other was cupping one of her cheeks, their lips met in a soft kiss, almost as if afraid that the other would disappear.

But soon, all the emotions their hearts harboured were unleashed, pulling each other closer, the kiss deepening, warmth and love emanating from both of them like never before.

Love

A feeling that neither of them ever hoped to genuinely feel again, and yet, here they were, fate having brought them together to fulfill destiny and mend each other’s wounds.

They stood on the edge of the roof for a few more hours, watching as the Sun went completely down and stars embellished the dark sky with beautiful diamonds sparkling and twinkling endlessly, while the silver light of the Mother Moon was guarding them with her healing light.

----

Nicolas’s birthday came sooner than expected, but for some reason, he forgot about it. Well, it’s not a surprise, that boy had no sense of self-worth, the girl quickly realised, so she naturally took the role of a nurturing and always-attentive girlfriend for him, wanting to make sure he takes care of himself properly.

But today was the day...

Today was Nicolas’s birthday.

Well, not yet, really, as it was not yet midnight, but the way he lay on the girl’s bed while watching TV absent-minded made it easy for Y/N to sneak to the other room and bring the man’s gift without him realising.

When the clock was 12 sharp, she turned on the light and putting the box on the table, making sure he wouldn’t get what it was, he dragged him into a sitting position on the edge of the bed, and she could barely resist his confused puppy face.

“Can you close your eyes and only open them when I kiss you?” she signed fast, excitement obvious on her face. “Why?” he asked in a low, confused voice. “It’s a surprise!” the girl booped her nose, only for him to stick out his tongue at her, like a puppy would blep, making her giggle at how cute he looked, kissing him to close his eyes.

She then took the box and took out the hearing devices, gently sitting on his lap and adjusting them to his ears, before caressing his face and giving him a passionate kiss like never before.

“What did you do?” he signed, still smiling from the kiss.

Instead of answering right away, the girl showed him the box that had “HEARING AIDS” written with huge letters, which only made his eyes widen in shock.

“Say something. I want to hear you.” he signed fast, not wanting his voice to be the first thing he hears. “I love you, Nic.” she said, her soft hands resting on his rough visage, and the love she saw in his eyes, hearing her velvety voice that soothed his heart and soul, for the first time... “I love you too, Y/N.” he spoke, cringing a bit at his own voice, but...He missed on so much not hearing her voice. “How...Why...?” his voice was trembling from all the emotions he felt, all at once, flooding him. “It’s your birthday. You are a good person, Nic. You deserve to have your hearing back. So...Happy birthday, sweetheart. I love you.” she kissed his forehead softly, as he quickly threw his arms around her, rolling on the bed, to be able to hold her tighter to him. “I don’t deserve you, Y/N. I really don’t. But thank you...And don’t ever leave me. I love you, Y/N.” he forced himself to speak more, knowing very well that he’ll have to work on his speaking to make it normal, at least to some degree. “You deserve the world, darling, and don’t worry, I’ll never leave you. I promise.” she cooed gently at him, playing with his hair soothingly. “I was right...You truly have the most beautiful voice in the world.” he muttered, closing his eyes to prevent any tear to escape his eyes.

He knew he didn’t deserve such a wonderful woman in his life, but he wasn’t going to deny anything, especially not her pure and genuine love for him. He was going to treasure her and make sure she knows she is the most special person in the world for him.

Because...

Nicolas Brown loves Y/N L/N with all his heart.

What is up with Shirai Ryu?

Or, is Hanzo a hypocrite?

While looking through various MK11 intros, I’m kind of tired about the whole “honor” stuff that Hanzo and Kuai Liang and so many other characters like to talk. Mainly, because honor is very unspecified term whose meaning (thus the line between acting honorable and dishonorable) will change from one person to another. And as much I love cultural clashes between characters of different clans / fraction or realms, Hanzo’s talks about Shirai Ryu make me wonder what the hell is going on with his clan right now?

Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu were rival clans for ages, but the japanese ninjas - and the whole ninjutsu created by them - has its roots in Lin Kuei teaching. Bi-Han called himself thief and assassin and we know that ninjas played similar roles through the ages. Stealing, killing, doing all dirty job someone paid for, it was what Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu did for years. The two fractions of course vary in clan traditions and family matters, but I think we can all agree that morally wise, assassins and master thieves aren’t the common image of honorable men, right?

Of course, both Hanzo and Kuai Liang decided to reform their respective clans, pledged to serve Earthrealm as the protectors rather than working for anyone who can afford their service. Thus both grandmasters reject job offers from gods & Outworlders alike; reject offers that would pose a danger to their home realm. What is nice and all, but clan has its own needs; there are people who must be feed, clothed, sheltered, medically equipped, armed with the right equipment and trained. This of course cost a lot money and maybe the Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuei do have the right funds accumulated over the centuries. But as far as MK11 intros are concerned, Sub-Zero most likely did not change completely Lin Kuei. Of course, Kuai Liang’s clan is meant to be protectors of Earthrealm, but there is still (rogue) Frost who is proud to be an assassin. And since she joined the clan between MK9 and X, the fact she is so aware of the clan history, the feud with Shirai Ryu and assassins traditions may imply that at least to some degree Lin Kuei is/was still involved in “old bussiness”. Whatever the case - Lin Kuei still training assassins who just don’t work anymore for “outsiders” or Frost (with Noob) being a rogue " remains of ancient glory”,  both versions are representing the better and the darker sides of Sub-Zero’s fraction.

Hanzo on another hand, as solely representation of Shirai Ryu in MK11 game, seems at times as, well, deluded person. Especially when intros aren’t clear if that was supposed to be P.O.V of current or past Hanzo.

First, let me quote little backstory provided by MK: Mythologies Sub-Zero:

Scorpion is the code name for a modern day member of the Shirai Ryu named Hanzo Hasashi [...] He learned this technique from his own father, a ninja himself who forbade his son to become a member of this ancient group of assassins and wanted him to accept the trappings of modern day life. But the lure of quick money and his own wish to afford his wife and child the finest in life force him to join the Shirai Ryu.

His latest mission leads him into the heart of China, home of the rival Lin Kuei and location of the Shaolin temple where his mission is to steal the sacred Map of Elements.

So, Shirai Ryu are ancient group of assassins, the last mission of Scorpion was to steal the sacred Map of Elements from Shaolin Temple and Hanzo wasn’t forced to join the clan, he did it mainly for money to afford his family in finest way.

After coming back to life, Hanzo made great effort to redeem his clan and became ally to other heroes. At the same time, he himself says Shirai Ryu are not bound to Special Forces (U.S.)’s laws what results in fact Sonya Blade keeps eye on Hanzo and his clan. Probably attacking SF’s base and killing captured Quan Chi is/was still fresh in her mind. Anyway, the real question is, what Shirai Ryu does? What kind of jobs the clan takes, from where Hanzo get money to cover needs of his ninjas and funds to rebuild destroyed years ago home? What Shirai Ryu ninjas do between crisises threatening safety of Earthrealm?

The reason why I wonder such things is tied up with Hanzo’s character banters, particularly with other merceneries.

Scorpion: Why seek out my clan?

Kano: You're a clan of assassins, ain't you?

Scorpion: You refer to the Lin Kuei.

It is hard to tell, if Scorpion here is the younger or current version thus if he talks about old Lin Kuei (a true statement about clan of assassins then) or refer to Kuai Liang’s one clan that was supposed to change for better. Whatever the case, if clan of assassins is what refers to Lin Kuei, I’m sorry, what Shirai Ryu is or was then? Because it was assassin clan too not so long ago and Hanzo himself joined and worked for such group.

Kabal: The Shirai Ryu hiring, Scorpion? Scorpion: We're family, not mercenaries.

Not mercenaries, said a man who was once hired to steal sacred Map and did it solely for money (or maybe even satisfation/chance to kill Lin Kuei). Even if Hanzo is speaking only about current situation of clan, it still does not answer are his ninjas involved in illegal jobs or are they just train in case of emergency?

This statement (and other intros with Jacqui anc Jax) makes it clear to join Shirai Ryu means became part of the clan for good. But frankly, that still does not mean that family unit like ninja clan can’t (couldn’t) be mercenaries. I mean, mercenary is person primarily concerned with making money at the expense of ethics and you know, taking jobs like assassination or theft is, well, dark side of mercenary profession. Soo, did Hanzo’s statement “not mercenaries“ was purely about joining the clan (not hiring unknown people) or as a whole, no more doing illegal stuff by his clan to gain money?

Erron: I thought Shirai Ryu were mercs. Scorpion: You understand little, Black. Erron: I've killed people for being less rude. 

This one is similar to the previous intro but I feel this time the focus is more on the past of Shirai Ryu, since Erron (as hired gun by Shang Tsung / Shao Kahn) lives for one or two hundred years so he may be familiar with old!Shirai Ryu ninjas reputation.

Of course, Hanzo may be right, Black (and us, for that matter) as outsider, does not have insight into internal clan traditions, ethics or internal matters thus the lack of understanding may lead him (and me) to incorrect conclusion. Maybe Shirai Ryu for ages served Japan in a way Special Forces serves now USA? Maybe they worked always for their homeland’s well being? We don’t know. But then if Shirai Ryu aren’t/weren’t mercs, how else one should think about ninja clan that send his own warrior to Shaolin Temple in foreign (hostile) territory to steal sacred artifact while being paid by some weirdo (Quan Chi)? Like, how that was more honorable than, let’s say, Erron working for Kotal?

   Scorp: There will be no deal, Kano.    Kano: Gotta make a buck, mate.    Scorp: The Shirai Ryu are not criminals.

Hanzo says his clan members aren’t criminals. I sorry, aren’t attacking Special Forces, the supposed allies, isn’t sort of crime? Even if two years passed since then, Shirai Ryu ninjas went to foreign country and attacked its army (who were at times helping refuges from Outworld). Of course, they weren’t motivated by greed or bad will, they were following their grandmaster. But Hanzo literally put his own need for revenge above needs of other heroes, including dead ones. Oh, and let’s no forget that past!Hanzo attacked Shaolin monks and killed who knows how many of them. Indeed, no criminals, ha!

Scorpion: The Shirai Ryu do not respect thieves. Kollector: I collect only what is due Shao Kahn. Scorpion: It is robbery, nothing more.

Sorry, what was your last mission again? Stealing from Shaolin Monks some precious map for some dude Quan Chi? I’m sure Shirai Ryu would never respect thieves! Riiiight.

Hanzo of course may talk about reformed Shirai Ryu, but that would look, once again, like he keep silent about past sins. Unless he really believe his clan never did anything dishonorable.

It’s hard not to wonder how exactly Hanzo reformed Shirai Ryu is he alone seems to ignore his own deeds. Mercs are looked down, so are thieves or in general, people working for money. As much as I can agree than Black Dragons - especially Kano - are the worst kind of scum, it would be actually nice to learn more about Shirai Ryu ethics or how ninja define honor. We know that for Hanzo, his “clan's honor is priceless” but he himself did a lot questionable stuff through the course of all games.

My biggest problem with Scorpion and his talk about honor (or in some causes, how pretty quick he is to accuse others of lack of thereof) is the contrast with Kuai Liang. Sub-Zero is the one willing to admit faults of his clan while Hanzo rarely acknowledges such in Shirai Ryu. Sub-Zero is the one trying hard to estabilish Lin Kuei as protectors of Earthrealm AND ally to other heroes, while Scorpion for a long time freely(?) keep himself and his clan isolated. Of course, both grandmasters treat Earthrealm’s best interest as priority, but between them two, it’s Kuai who is seen actively protecting Earth while Hanzo often was the source of problems, like killing capuring Quan Chi. Mind you, I don’t think Hanzo was wrong to assume as long as evil sorcerer will live, Earth is in danger (though, since Quan Chi is demon(?) shouldn’t he reborn in Netherrealm at some point?). But attacking your supposed allies and destroying the one chance to save fallen and enslaved comrades because Hanzo knows better does not strike me as the most honorable thing.

Once again, what is honor in Mortal Kombat? How Hanzo or Kuai Liang or Raiden or anyone define such matter?

I keep wonder about that, because Hanzo talks a lot about how Shirai Ryu are honorable while other merceneries are just thugs and all. What sounds a bit like hypocrisy when one look at Scorpion’s own history. Especially when younger!Hanzo is involved, because he is still the prime example of Shirai Ryu ninja working not-so-long-ago as assassin and thief.

But yeah, sure, everyone is greedy bastard and thug, even if said person is doing the same stuff like (old) Shirai Ryu did.

[gettingvetted]

why does it have to be a one-upmanship though? I've never heard people say doctors are better than vets, and even if some do, surely smugly saying 'we know so much more' makes you just as bad? Can't we accept that they are both very demanding, difficult jobs in their own ways? There are so many differences I think it's hard to even compare them.

Mk, I told you I wasn’t going to discuss this anymore unless you came off anon, but I think this is important because I know I have a few medblr followers and a lot of not-medical-at-all followers.

This is not one-upsmanship. “Real doctors treat more than one species” is a joke - in response to being treated like we’re not as good as MD’s. You can literally buy T-shirts and bumper stickers with that on them. As I stated when I responded to your original ask, all of us in the veterinary profession have respect for doctors. Another common saying in the field is “I’m in vet med because humans are gross.” But somebody has to treat them, and we’re glad it’s not us. Many of us would prefer that animals come in sans owners. During the rest of this post, keep in mind that I (and the vast majority of vets) respect MD’s because we need them just as much as they need us. But that doesn’t make us any less than them.

You say it’s hard to compare them - you must be on the human medical side. Want to know some similarities?- We go to school for the same amount of time.- The prerequisite courses for getting into school are nearly identical.- We accumulate approximately the same amount of debt from our schooling.- We learn much of the same material. Anatomy, histology, general/systemic pathology, clinical pathology, physiology, neurology, pharmacology, immunology, toxicology, bacteriology, virology, radiology, theriogenology (aka veterinary gynecology), ethics, business, medicine/treatment, surgery, public health, nutrition, epidemiology… except we learn it for every species, not just one. More on that later.- Vets have to learn about humans too, because we have to know how animals can infect humans. For example, we have to know how every single veterinary parasite in our 3-credit, semester-long parasitology class can potentially affect/not affect humans. Med students spend one or two lectures on parasites.

But you’re right, there’s a lot of differences.- Vet schools are 3-4x harder to get into than medical schools.- Vet school is harder, full stop. Not only are we learning the same things as med students, we have to learn it for every animal species plus some human stuff, and we have to be prepared to actually practice after four years of education without an internship or residency to catch us after school is over. Yes, some students will choose to go the internship/residency route, but the majority will not. Another common joke in vet school, which my professors have literally said to my entire class more than once, is “if you wanted it to be easy you should have gone to medical school.”- An MD is unlikely to be injured by their patients on an average day. A vet is.- When I graduate, I will have performed upwards of 50 surgeries on at least 4 species of animals, despite the fact that I have no intention of specializing in surgery. A human medical doctor has to wait until their residency to do even one surgery, and that’s only if they’re specializing in a field that requires surgery on a routine basis.- Upon graduation, for any given patient I may have to be a general practitioner, gastroenterologist, dermatologist, cardiologist, pediatrician, emergency doctor, radiologist, orthopedist, oncologist, behaviorist, endocrinologist, surgeon, dentist, neurologist, internist, pathologist, pharmacologist, pulmonologist, anesthesiologist, OB/GYN, physical therapist, opthalmologist, and more during their lifetime. Medical doctors have to specialize in a single one of these things. Lucky me, I don’t have to choose. Poor me, I have to know every single one of these specialties for every single animal. Hence, knowing more and doing more than MD’s.- Show me a human general practice clinic (or even hospital) where I can come in with a bellyache, vaginal discharge, and diarrhea and have an exam, bloodwork, x-rays, ultrasound, and emergency hysterectomy all in the same department, within 2-3 hours of arrival, and go home the same day if absolutely necessary or at least the next day. Yeah, not gonna happen.- Vets have to pay for equipment/supplies, building expenses/upkeep, and staff salaries in addition to their own salaries, and this is incorporated in the cost of vet care. Human clinics are subsidized so they don’t have to worry about this…- … and still charge upwards of 5-10x as much for the same procedure that a vet does. Here’s a total hip replacement comparison, for example.- Because of the two above points, if a client stiffs a doctor, it’s not a big deal - the government and the practice insurance will cover it. The lights will not go off. If a client stiffs a vet… well that one client might not make the lights go off, but now the vet isn’t going to be able to offer clinic-based payment plans because they simply can’t afford to be stiffed anymore. Some practices won’t even send a bill and instead require payment up front, because collections cost more than the bill is worth (that’s how low veterinary bills tend to be, comparatively), and these clinics will still get slammed on Facebook/Yelp/Google for “only caring about money and forcing me to pay upfront when my puppy was dying.”- Humans are required to have insurance, but pets are not. This leads to a lot of emotionally demanding decisions for both the vet and owner (I can’t afford his care - do I put him down? surrender him to the clinic if they’re able to take him? bring him home and let him die? toss him to a shelter and let him suffer?) and a lot of emotionally demanding owners ( “If you really loved animals you would treat him for free” - well yes Becky, but I have to eat and pay my student loans/mortgage too…)- Despite our similar educational debt load, my average salary will be less than half of an MD’s. And people still think we charge too much and make too much and try to guilt us into performing services or giving items at a discount or for free.- Vets can put patients down. While this is usually a blessing, it does mean that patients we’ve treated since they were babies are now dying because we can’t do anything to save them, whether due to owner finances or inability to cure a terminal illness. That’s hard enough as it is, but then you get clients who are moving, had a baby, don’t want the pet for whatever reason, and demand you put the animal down instead of doing something else to try to rehome it - “convenience euthanasias.” Both types take an emotional toll on vets, and euthanasias happen every day, usually multiple times.- A vet’s work-life balance is notoriously terrible. Non-ER MD’s can turn away people who walk in at 4:55 when the practice closes at 5. Vets often can’t (or don’t). Because our patient care is so much more involved, it’s rare for vets or vet staff to be able to leave on time even from general practice, and that says nothing for emergency care or the many vets who are on call nights, weekends, holidays… At the first practice I worked at, staff members got to choose one (1) holiday PER YEAR to get off, and were expected to work every weekend.- Due to the previous 5 points, suicide and mental illness in the veterinary field is at an all-time high. Vets are twice as likely to commit suicide than an MD. It’s alarming, and the field is working to change it, but not much can be done on a national scale.

In fact, maybe you’re right. Maybe there really is no comparison. If you read all that, I think you’ll understand that vets have earned a little bit of wiggle room to poke some harmless fun at their “real doctor” colleagues.

Oh, and not to mention the biggest difference between MD’s and DVM’s, but...

Dependency can strike you at any type of time. Sometimes, a person with a dependency might not recognize what's wrong or be able to express that something is amiss.

Once a person takes the first actions towards healing initiatives, it may take years for particular habits to feel entirely "normal" again.

The time is now to take that very first take on action into treatment. If you or a person you know are having a hard time with a material use problem, Centerstone is below to help.

Yearnings are one of the hardest components of recuperation. Learning to handle yearnings is an essential ability for an effective recovery.

Everyone that has ever before had a solid recuperation has experienced food cravings, and most likely still does every now and then. Having a yearning does not suggest you're doing anything incorrect, or that you've stopped working, or that you're going to fail. They're simply a normal event. When you have actually remained in the practice of making use of a habit forming material everyday, perhaps for many years, it's unpreventable that you'll often feel need to utilize it again.

Approve that you're experiencing a yearning and don't feel bad about it, but locate a way to deal wit it. Sidetrack Yourself An additional vital thing to keep in mind about desires is that they don't last permanently. They normally do not last more than 10 or 15 minutes unless you maintain them active by committing interest to them.

Maybe working, analysis, playing a computer game, going for a stroll, speaking with good friends, or rather much anything that requires a substantial section of your concentration. You can't think of 2 points simultaneously as well as you can not require on your own to not believe regarding something without thinking of that thing.

Run Away If a yearning does not vanish pretty swiftly, there's a likelihood something is maintaining it to life. It can be a setting off situation, such as remaining in a place that offers alcohol, remaining in the company of a person you made use of to consume alcohol with, or simply being around a person that emphasizes you out.

If you remain in the supermarket and having a difficult time strolling past the alcohol aisle, simply leave. Parents leave carts complete of grocery stores to handle shrieking toddlers, so why not manage a desire in the same method? It's important to know your triggers, both so you can prevent them therefore you can recognize them when they appear.

Examine Your Believing Our very own thoughts can usually make yearnings a lot more intense than they need to be. When a desire shows up, you may begin thinking something like, "Oh, a food craving, this is awful! I'll never ever have the ability to hold out!" as well as so on. This only contributes to the stress of the food craving as well as makes it more powerful.

Remind on your own that food cravings occur and also they go away as well as you'll be great in a few mins. Possibly you're upset at somebody or you're really feeling overwhelmed at job.

Education Online: The Times They Are a Changin

The thing about life is that it does not occur on a schedule. People today get married young - they get married older, they begin companies at 14 and receive their educations laterthey change professions mid-stream - they change.

And when life begins to change and you are ready for the education that will help you find that new leadership, traditional bricks-and-mortar universities are not often flexible enough to permit you to receive the level you need on a schedule which is reasonable for you.

Enter the online degree program.

I understand - getting an education online was viewed the exact same way as going to medical school in the Virgin Islands, but online education programs have come a long way since the Internet Revolution started.

One reason the perspective has changed is due to distance learning opportunities created by major universities and online degree programs developed by schools like ITT Tech. Once accredited universities and colleges developed online education programs which were well respected within the education community and throughout various businesses, getting an education online became something we can all feel good about.

Is an Online Education Right for You?

An online education is reallyn't for everybody. You've got to be a disciplined self-starter using a fair quantity of computer and Internet savvy. In case you've got those attributes and are prepared to get the level you need on your own schedule, then an online degree program might be the answer you have been searching for. But before you sign up for courses there are a few things about yourself you should think about:

O Can you specify a program and keep it?

O Are you a rather well self-contained individual (in other words - can you get by without plenty of human interaction)?

O Are you familiar with technology?

o Do you have access to the technology you need when you need it?

If you can honestly answer yes to these questions, then obtaining your education online could be the best solution to attaining your educational objectives.

Picking the Right Online Degree Program

Simply because you are getting an online education, that does not mean the decision you need to make about your degree program ought to be taken any less seriously. In actuality, there are even some special considerations you should make when choosing your online degree program. Some of those include:

O Is the college accredited? (When you get your education online, this is of special significance, as some companies will only accept degrees from accredited institutions and lots of online schools aren't accredited.)

O What technology does the school use to execute its online education program?

O Are the teachers experienced in the area? What's their experience planning and teaching online courses?

O Do the teachers have ample"office hours" so you can contact them to ask questions about the content?

O Are there any virtual study groups, group discussion boards or the chance for online students to meet in person if wanted?

O How are technical glitches managed?

O Can you speak to previous online education students to find out more about the program?

O Do you need to have a PC to attend courses online or is the material available to Apple users, also?

As soon as you're familiar with an online degree program, just sign up for courses and make the effort. If, for some reason, you discover that an online education is not everything you'd hoped it would be, you can always transfer your credits to a traditional college or university and pick up where you left off - and still get the amount you need for the change you wish to make.

7 Tips For Continuing Education Online

I enjoy continuing my education, right in the comfort of my own house. Can you imagine that - with the flexibility and freedom to attend classes according to my own schedule, picking the course I need, and having easy access to all of the materials for courses for the next semester?

If you also, are an online student, you could probably associate with me. But if you are considering an online education, there are 7 important hints to know about continuing your education online, and also how to become a successful online student:

1) you have to have the ability to communicate through writing.

As you're attending a virtual classroom, the majority of communication is written, and to be able to fully take part in classes, it's crucial that you're able to express yourself effectively through writing.

2) Motivation and self-discipline.

When you attend a traditional school, you've got your friends and teachers to inspire you and even'punish' you in the event that you don't complete your assignments. Not in the world of online education.

3) Learn to'talk'

In the conventional world of education, if the teacher sees that the students appear confused or unsure of what's been taught, he/she will repeat it before the pupils are clear. But from the online world, the teachers are not able to know whether the students have the ability to keep up to pace with the classes, unless the students'talk up'.

4) Have a different attitude towards online education

Most students nowadays feel that online education is the simple way to obtain an education. That's far from the truth. In fact, continuing your education online could be harder than a standard education, because of the rigorous quality control many online schools apply. Therefore, view it as a convenient way to get an education, rather than an simple way.

5) Practise critical thinking and decision making

The online learning process requires the student to become critical in making decisions based on information supplied, together with experience. And making the correct decision requires critical ideas.

6) Participate

Among the most important ideas is to participate actively in a virtual classroom. You can learn a lot from your peers also, and this makes continuing your education online a much more enjoyable procedure.

7) Be considerate and respectful

Although you're anonymous, be careful of your language. You are after all dealing with actual teachers and pupils, and it's imperative to have a productive and supportive online environment. In these positive environments, you will feel more valued, and your work will have greater value naturally.

Online education is beginning to take the world by storm, and a growing number of students are turning to virtual schools to receive their accredited online degrees. If it sounds good, you could always ask to your free online education game, and decide for yourself if continuing your education online is acceptable for you.

Why therapy and maybe not drugs?

The idea of being equipped to solve your issues can sound desirable. If it had been this easy! Mental and emotional problems have several factors, and also medication isn't a non-prescription remedy.

Medication might help alleviate symptoms that are certain, but it also includes side results. Furthermore, it can't solve the"big picture" issues.

Journal - 8 Demands for All Future Architects

Michael Riscica is a Licensed Architect, Speaker and Thought Leader, who is deeply committed in helping the NEXT Generation of Architects succeed in their careers. Michael has helped thousands of ARE Candidates pass their exams and creates ARE 5.0 study materials at The Young Architect Academy.

Dear Future Young Architects,

First and foremost, I want you to know that I love and support each and every one of you! I get really excited about architecture when I look at what is happening with younger generations.

This is partly what inspired me to start the Young Architect blog. I got bored with all the Old Architect blogs. I mean, yeah, all those old white guys are really, really nice people. But I just thought the world needed a Young Architect blog.

I have a few important things I would like to discuss in my letter to “Future Young Architects.” So let’s get started …

1. Please do some soul-searching before you start working on your architecture license.

I don’t believe a vegan diet is universally healthy for everyone on the planet. Sure, many people thrive on it, but everyone has different habits, beliefs, upbringings, lifestyles and (most importantly) physiologies. A vegan diet may be the very worst diet for some people. But a diet is a personal decision: Who am I to tell anyone what’s right or wrong?

I also don’t believe everyone who graduates architecture school needs to become a Licensed Architect. In full disclosure, I’ll admit that at this point in my life I have accidentally stumbled into the business of architectural licensing and I would appreciate it if everyone going through this process would read my very popular book, appropriately titled How To Pass The Architecture Registration Exam. Despite this, I wholeheartedly believe that architecture licensing is not a requirement for “being successful.”

The profession has collectively been fostering the belief that there is only one path: Everyone with an architecture degree needs to become a Licensed Architect. If you don’t get your architecture license, you’ve wasted your expensive education, and you’re basically a loser.I couldn’t disagree more.

Please do some soul-searching before you start working on your architecture license. Make sure licensing is the right thing for you. It may or may not be. Architectural licensing is a very personal decision. It’s as personal as the diet or religion you choose to adhere to. I completely support you in whatever decision you arrive at. Both decisions can and will have positive and negative impacts in the long term depending on what your personal life goals are.

Most importantly, stop letting architects from another generation bully you into thinking you must have an architecture license and that expensive AIA membership, because you really don’t need it — IF they’re not aligned with what you want to accomplish in your life. I have zero patience with this “You’re either with us or against us” approach to inspiring Young Architects toward licensing.

2. Please stop waiting for permission.

We all went to architecture school so we could learn how to make cool shit happen.

Then after school was over, you quietly sat and waited for permission from a company, a boss, a client or some other outside force or circumstance to give you permission to share your unique gifts with the world.

Have you ever realized how self-absorbed everyone is? No one is ever going to pay attention to you, unless you grab their attention. No one is ever going to ask you to put yourself out there and share whatever value you have to offer the world.

I’ll say that again … If you’ve been waiting to be asked to put yourself out there, it’s never going to happen. Everyone is way too busy checking how many Instagram followers they have.

STOP WAITING FOR PERMISSION!

JUST DO IT!

3. Please honor and respect the past.

Our parents and grandparents’ generations blazed a fantastic trail that will help us take the profession to the next level. There is sooo much value in analyzing them and seeing what we can learn from their careers — good and bad. Sometimes, finding bad examples can be more powerful than finding good ones.

Study them, learn from them, ask them a lot of questions, use them as a resource and thank them for their contributions to the profession. Apply what you’ve learned to help you figure out what you want to do, how to be successful or how to see the mistakes you never want to make.

Either way, alwaysappreciate and acknowledge their hard work. Tell them how thankful you are to have them as a teacher.

Via JUMO

4. Please volunteer your time.

Society needs your help. Architecture may be a service profession, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to volunteer your time without getting paid.

We became architects so we could make a difference and make the world a little bit better. And yes, we’re doing that. But you still need to take your architect hat off for a minute: Turn off the computer and volunteer as a citizen contributing to society.

I don’t care how, but you must volunteer. Service means giving your time, energy and attention to someone who needs it. The “I’m too busy” argument is old and tired. You’re always going to be too busy. There will never be a better time, which is why you need to start right now.

Your time and attention is more valuable than your money. Volunteering doesn’t mean throwing money at a problem. And it doesn’t mean donating time to build some silly, glossy art exhibit inside your local AIA office — that no one will ever see. Volunteering means giving time to a person or a cause that genuinely needs your focused attention.

5. Please be yourself … And find situations that allow you to be yourself!

NOTHING is unhealthier than putting on uncomfortable clothes you don’t enjoy wearing, showing up at a job you don’t like and working with people who don’t acknowledge or appreciate you. Day after day, year after year.

Every day you do this, it is the equivalent of feeding your soul a McDonald’s and cheap generic diet soda!

It’s not easy finding an employment situation that is aligned with who you are and how you want to be an architect.

Be realistic with yourself. Do you want to work 50 to 60 hours a week pushing projects and your career? Or do you want to work a maximum of 40 hours a week so you can spend time raising a healthy family? There is no right or wrong answer. Both are definitely noble pursuits. You need to find a firm that is aligned with who you are, how you want to work, spend your time and live your life.

There are a million different types of firms and jobs. It’s often significantly easier to find a new architecture firm that understands what you’re looking for, rather than change the existing culture of an office. It’s a lot like dating, you just have to figure out what you want first.

6. Please don’t contribute negativity without taking positive action.

The profession of architecture gets thrown under the bus all the time. There is no shortage of bad news or problems in architecture. It doesn’t help that Architects are trained and given college degrees in sniffing out problems or recognizing how things could be always better.

The profession of architecture isn’t fair. It’s not only a big gender or diversity issue, it’s an issue for everyone. Architecture leaves people behind who can’t compete and adapt to change. The profession is supposed to reward hard work and those who can execute. The same time it often treats those same people unfairly.

The truth is: Every single person who has found success with architecture has been burned by this profession at one time or another. People get lied to, not paid and sued. At the same time, the successful ones have taken those setbacks and used them as opportunities for inspiration to keep moving forward. This profession isn’t easy and is highly competitive.

There is way too much complaining about the profession. If architecture has burned you and you can’t use that to take positive action, then maybe you should find another profession. No one wants to be around a person who is complaining all of the time.

Try to connect with the positivity in the profession and people doing great things and making changes within architecture. While we’re not perfect as a profession, only focusing on how terrible it is, without pairing it to positive action, isn’t helping us move forward.

The very last thing I’ll say about negativity is that every industry has its own problems. Nurses, lawyers, doctors, astronauts, golfers, scientists, firefighters, politicians, real estate agents and definitely teachers all have their fair shares of issues in their own industries. I recently listened to a physician tell me about all the trauma she went through in medical school. The grass isn’t greener. The Architects and the AIA aren’t special.

Via Klear

7. Please don’t let architecture ruin your health.

Pretty self-explanatory.

Did you know: Spending one hour each day exercising your body will have a significantly larger impact on your success as an architect than if you spent it sitting in front of that AutoCAD/Revit machine for another hour? You need to get your blood moving, eat REAL food and breathe every day. If your belly isn’t moving, you’re not breathing.

One hour a day isn’t a big commitment for your health and well-being. Unfortunately, your architecture career will do everything it can to try to prevent or rob you from taking this time. Your #1 job is to defend this time and take care of yourself first. Your life, career and everyone you take care of all depend on how well you can take care of yourself. I sound pretty dramatic, but this is the truth.

8. Screw around!

I am the King of Screwing Around. I have the five-year bachelor’s degree in architecture … and a Ph.D. in screwing around and jackassery.

If architecture didn’t give me permission to screw around, I would have ended this relationship many years ago. I don’t care what your Boss or Professor tells you … Design, project management and making money is mentally exhausting work. We’re humans, not architecture machines. So I’m going to screw around a little.

Screwing around is an important part of my creative process — If I didn’t screw around, I wouldn’t learn anything. By taking my mind off the problem to fool around, it helps me focus when it’s time to be serious. This is why I get more work done than everyone else. It’s because I laugh more, while everyone else is serious.

I wholeheartedly give you permission to screw around if it’s going to help you work hard, be focused and do better work. In fact, here are a few stupid blog posts I wrote to encourage your screwing around.

 I made a post in January about how I basically write Jemma in the autistic spectrum even if not officially (I’m still researching) but because the list was very long and I bolded the traits she had, I want to put here the list of only those traits as reference - the full post is here, I kept all the traits there in case people were curious like me, though it’s not meant for self-diagnosis  (then again, I don’t know why I’m so hesitant with writing about it officially - even if it’s not canon, there is nothing wrong with more representation of all kinds.)

under the cut because it’s too long this mostly refers to the way I write her... but there is a lot of canon Jemma too

May be difficult to understand subtle emotions (unless she’s explained why someone is acting the way he is)

Finds difficult managing emotions (the entirety of season 2)

May not be able to tell when someone is flirting with her (or in love, unless the flirting is openly sexual and cannot be confused with friendliness)

Great difficulty and very sensitive to conflict, stress, arguments, fighting, wars, gossip and negativity

May find it challenging to understand what others expect of her (when they don’t directly tell her like they do at work)

Understanding boundaries (usually more when she was younger)

Tend to have high average to genius intelligence

Superior long-term memory

Often have a rigid negative thinking, inflexible black or white thinking style or rigidity of thinking (when it comes to Ward ‘some people are just evil’ and specifically of my Jemma: Fitz and Daisy being just ‘good’, no flaws)

Often drawn to the helping, artistic or animal professions, and often an “expert” in her chosen field (she ended up being mostly a doctor, but also expert in biochemistry)

Hard-working conscientious worker

May get stressed if have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time

Tries hard to please others

Preference for one-on-one social interactions, single close friendships

Has great difficulty asserting herself (only on occasion so it doesn’t count) asking for help

May currently have or have experienced Post-Traumatic Stress, often due to being misunderstood, misdiagnosed, mistreated, and/or mismedicated.

Often does not know how to act in social situations

Often prefers to be engaged in her special interest, rather than socializing

May be considered the “black sheep” of the family

Others consider her different, odd, eccentric or “weird” by others

May feel like she has to act “normal” to please others OR does not care at all about fitting in (both depending on the situation, but sometimes she just doesn’t realize she’s being inappropriate) 

A people pleaser, but then may burn bridges suddenly (for e.g., quit relationships), as they have difficulty managing conflict

Females appear to be better than males at masking the traits of autism in social situations. However, girls are less able to do so in unfamiliar settings (she was even more ‘odd’ in Hydra, when asking the coworker she barely knew to go karaoke with her and insisted too) 

Difficulties communicating her thoughts and feelings, in words, to others, especially if anxious, stressed or upset. Often can type or write her thoughts much better

May dislike asking others for help, be unable to ask or not know how to ask for help

May be passive, not know how to assert her boundaries in a healthy manner (season 2 again)

May have to withdraw, isolate herself when overwhelmed by her senses

Things that should feel painful may not be (bruises but not know how they got there, due to clumsiness) 

Recent brain scanning research points towards enlarged Amygdala’s role in intense emotions, anxiety and anger (her anger and anxiety are more often than not extreme)

May have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or traits (in her case traits)

May fidget or other movements with hands, twirl hair, stroke soft fabric to self-soothe (usually plays with sleeves or opens and closes fists or touches her neck and forehead)

A special interest may involve the person’s career

Ability to “hyperfocus” for long periods of time involved in the special interest, without eating, drinking or going to the toilet, is able to hyperfocus on her special interest for hours, often losing track of time

An intense love for nature and animals

If you have actually been physically harmed or injured due to another individual's commission of an act or because of another's carelessness, you deserve to file a suit and demand for damages. Also, if you feel your track record was destroyed by the false words of another, and if you feel you were mistreated by your employer because of his shouting, then you also have recourse in the legal arena.

The risk in running right out and hiring a personal injury attorney instantly after injury is that you will have to pay for their services from whatever payout you ultimately get. So, it is typically wise to very first consult with the appropriate insurance supplier and only then rely on legal options. While speaking to the insurance provider will in lots of circumstances resolve the issue entirely, there might be some situations in which the insurance company either rejects your claim totally or chooses to compensate you in a matter that is from your point of view inadequate. In such circumstances, the premium that you pay to a personal injury lawyer will return to you in settlement damages sometimes over.

If you suffer unintentional injury or damages through the fault of another, that person or service is legally responsible (accountable) and can be required to pay payment. To identify duty, the court tries to find negligence -- recklessness by one of the parties included. Whoever is figured out to have been less careful (i.e. more irresponsible), is lawfully responsible for at least part of the damages incurred.

The discomfort and suffering brought on by lots of mishaps can be long-term and not only physical however emotional and mental also. It can take months or even years to recuperate from the suffering caused by some injuries.

Fire Department Ranks and Structure: A Complete Guide

If you’re an aspiring firefighter, have you ever wondered what the other fire department ranks are and what are your chances of getting promoted? It’s important information to know before you apply to any department.

Across this site, you will find many guides that I have created about becoming a firefighter in the US, and the different qualifications for the job. However, many of these relate to the entry-level positions and the initial hiring process.

Once you apply to become a firefighter, there isn’t one single position to aim for. Not all roles in the fire service are the same and there is always room for progression through the different fire department ranks. But what are those fire department ranks within the service? What is the chain of command in the fire department and what roles can you aspire to beyond your work on the front line?

In this guide, I want to take you through the structure of the fire department – including both the structure and different fire department ranks. There are more ranks in major fire departments than many new recruits and outsiders may realize.

I will take you through them, from the first role after being hired to the very top position. By the end of that section, you should have a better idea of who answers to who and the roles that they have in a department.

Beyond that, I want to talk more about the opportunities for promotion between the ranks, some of the other titles that you might find in the department and a little about the salary expectations.

How Fire Departments Are Structured

To understand the way that the ranks work within a fire department, we have to look at the structure of the department itself. While there is a fairly linear hierarchy in the roles and job titles, there are branches within the department.

Company

Station / Unit

Battalion

Department

Most firefighters work on an engine, truck or rescue company that is responsible for a certain piece of apparatus and equipment from their station. Some of these will be classed as a special unit, such as the EMS unit, search and rescue unit or other disaster relief units.

These companies are assigned to fire stations and several of these stations can make up one battalion. Major cities will require more than one battalion of different stations to handle demands and high call volumes. These battalions all fall under the management of the chief of the department and the city manager.

Of course, this can all vary depending on the size of the fire department. These complex structures, with multiples companies and different battalions, apply to those cities with many different divisions and stations in a wide area.

Small scale fire departments or volunteer fire departments in small towns may only have one or two stations. Therefore, they have less need for such a complex structure and chain of command. They may not even have that many people employed to warrant that approach.

Fire Department Ranks

Typically speaking, you will see 8 different ranks in the fire service.  While not every department will have all of these ranks or be structured exactly the same; they will all have some version of these.  For example, where I work we have probationary firefighters, firefighters, lieutenants, captains, assistant chiefs and a fire chief. 

The different fire department ranks include:

Probationary Firefighter

Firefighter

Driver Engineer

Lieutenant

Captain

Battalion Chief

Assistant Chief

Fire Chief

One thing that you will notice about the structure of the fire department is how closely it matches that of the military. They have taken some of the same names for the positions of command and there is the same sense of structure and discipline.

As you can see, there are a lot of steps between your first role in the service and the very top of the ladder. So, let’s start at the very bottom rung of the ladder and work our way up.

Probationary Firefighter:

Before you can become a firefighter at your new department you have to work as a probationary firefighter. What this means is that you have a role at the station and can respond to fires and other incidents.

This is the most basic entry level rank in the fire service.  After you complete your training at the fire academy, initial screening and hiring process, including the firefighter interview, background checks and drug screening, this is where you will begin.

But, you are under probation for a fixed period (usually 1 year) as you earn all the necessary qualifications and skills to advance. While under probation, you will be required to take instruction from those above you. You may be shadowed by senior staff as you undergo your training.

A probationary role is ideal for stations and recruits. New team members get to learn with hands-on experience and get access to a range of training courses.

Those that don’t have their firefighter 1 and 2 certifications or an EMT certification may be asked to do so within a given time. It also means that stations get a new pair of hands at the station working on menial jobs as they learn.

Many offers at this entry-level post are conditional on meeting certain goals. The role may last for as little as 3-4 month or as long as 2 years before it is time for a promotion. If you fail to make the grade by this point, you could lose your position in the station.

Firefighter:

Once probation is over you can become a firefighter. This is still pretty low down in the ranks and you will take instruction on calls from commanding officers. The change in rank simply means that you have now proven you are qualified to handle the position and not continuously be watched.

This means carrying out all those basic tasks in fire suppression, hose line placement and other rescue services that probationary firefighters trained for.

There is the misconception that everyone at the station is a firefighter because this is the common term for the profession. While many at a given station are firefighters, there are many more ranks that make up a department.

Driver/Engineer:

Next is the Driver/Engineer role. Some departments will use the term apparatus operator because the term driver doesn’t really cover the full range of roles involved. Others use fire equipment operator or firefighter engineer.

This is classified as a higher level because of the additional training and skills involved. These are the team members that can operate the trucks and machinery with a greater degree of skill. They know more about the tools and tech and will carry out the necessary checks on the vehicles. If the fire engine or aerial ladder are required on the job, the engineer is the one that will use it.

Any qualified firefighter with a valid state license can drive the truck, even without a CDL (you read more about that in my other article by clicking the link), but not all crew members are authorized to handle all the equipment.

In departments where there is no driver engineer on staff to provide this service, the role will fall to one of the firefighters. However, they can only call themselves acting DE at that moment.

Lieutenant:

Whatever your main duties as a firefighter in the department, you need someone to take orders from during daily operations. There is a long line of command here before you get to the very top of the ladder.

The next position that you could get promoted to from firefighter is Lieutenant. If you aren’t familiar with the military-style terminology for these positions, then think of the lieutenant as like your supervisor.

They don’t call all the shots for your company, but they are able to relay the orders of their superior and keep the lower-level recruits in check.

Like many supervisors in other professions, many probably don’t get as much credit as they deserve. They may not be fully in charge of the engine company they work in, but they do have a lot of responsibilities when it comes to the day-to-day running of the firehouse.

They need to make sure that everyone knows their role whether they are carrying out basic tasks back at the station or working on an emergency response call. The Lieutenant is the glue holding the operations together.

Captain:

The supervisory lieutenants work beneath their captain, and in many ways, the role of the captain is very similar.

They are responsible for ensuring that everyone knows their place and their role in the daily operations of a specific area in the department. Their lieutenants work beneath them in individual companies to pass on the orders while they oversee the work of wider divisions.

There may be a dispatch captain running operations for the dispatch of apparatus and crews to incidents, an EMS captain that focuses on the emergency medical services and a training captain that focuses on the training of those new probationary firefighters.

If a captain is not available or there isn’t one currently hired, a lieutenant may take on the title of acting captain unless they are promoted to the role.

Battalion Chief:

The captain is an essential cog in the machine dispatching crews and giving out orders so that different companies can work effectively. However, they cannot do so with the Battalion Chief overseeing everything.

There is also a very important human resources side to the job of the Battalion Chief that is often underappreciated. Those of us on the outside looking in see firefighters as those heroes that are always on call to fight fires and save lives 24/7.

However, these crews still need to work in shifts and the stations must be manned by the right crew members at all times. It is the job of the Battalion chief to draw up this rotation and adjust it accordingly so that every station always has the right team members on board.

The Battalion Chief is also responsible for a lot of paperwork on incident reports, the running of the battalion and more. Finally, they are also required to help with coordination on emergency scenes when multiple companies are involved.

Captains that are promoted to Battalion Chief will quickly find that they have a lot more to deal with and a very busy workload. But, it can be a rewarding job for those with the interpersonal, managerial and administrative skills to make it work.

This is the sort of job that new hires may apply for if they have a degree in fire management and administration. They can put their qualifications to use in this role to oversee the battalion, improve the actions of the companies and improve the efficiency of the divisions.

Assistant Chief:

You might think that this is about as high as it can get if you have a chief overseeing the battalion like this. But, you would be wrong.

The very top of the ladder is reserves for the Fire Chief and they have an Assistant Chief below them. The Assistant Chief essentially provides support to the Fire Chief when dealing with all things related to the fire department.

This isn’t just about orders for battalions and the operations of a company. This is where they deal with factors that have wider implications for the department. For example, both the Fire Chief and his assistant need to have a good understanding of the budgets of the fire stations, current costs and proposed plans for improvements.

This is far above the pay grade of the Battalion Chief and essential if the whole city department is to improve its response times and success rates on jobs. This administrative role of assistant also means the chance to work on projects that might introduce new programs to the fire department.

This could be projects that benefit the health and productivity of the crews but also community outreach or training programs for improved fire education.

Fire Chief:

The Assistant Chief does all of this under the supervision and command of the Fire Chief. The chief almost gets to have the final say when it comes to matters of spending the budget, creating those programs and implementing important changes.

They have control over every element of the department and its divisions – from the fire safety services and training facilities to the operations divisions, EMS services and any specialist divisions.

I say that they almost have the final say because we have to remember the input of the city manager/mayor in all this.

A good fire chief will have a strong relationship with the city manager/mayor with effective communication on these matters. This will help them achieve their aims and secure more funds for their department.

Variations in Fire Department Ranks

Before I go on to look at some of the considerations for promotion and progression in this system, I want to mention some of the variations in the structure.

First of all, there isn’t this level of command and the same sort of responsibilities in small volunteer fire departments. Secondly, there are many fire departments across the country that use a combination approach where they employ career firefighters, paid-per-call firefighters and volunteer firefighters in the same department. These combination departments bulk up the numbers when it is difficult to hire a fully-qualified staff where everyone gets the same rate.

Volunteer firefighters will always be at the bottom because they usually don’t have the same training or professional experience. They do a wonderful job serving where necessary but don’t draw a salary.

**Also, it’s important to note that this is NOT a knock-on volunteer firefighters.  They perform a wonderful job and are usually never thanked for the work they do.  This guide is simply meant to illustrate the career differences. **

Some will progress onto paid-per-call roles where they can earn as they work but not receive a fixed salary. Volunteers that put themselves through the right training and examinations can progress onto a role as a probationary firefighter and start earning that salary.

There are also additional roles seen in fire department if they have specialist divisions or the need for other leadership ranks. Some major departments will also have a district chief, a deputy district chief, commissioner, deputy fire chief, assistant deputy fire and more. Those with a major EMS division may also bring in paramedics, firefighter/paramedics, paramedic field chiefs and ambulance commanders.

Getting Promoted Through The Different Fire Department Ranks

Promotion isn’t always on the minds of every firefighter. Some prefer the idea of working on the front-line to working behind a desk. Some volunteer firefighters like to work part-time for their community. But, others like the idea of moving up the ranks, getting into a better pay grade and working better hours.

Gaining a promotion in the fire service isn’t always easy.  There is a strict line of command here and certain expectations before you can progress up the chain. It doesn’t matter if you show exceptional skill, management skills and problems solving in your first year as a qualified firefighter.

You aren’t going to jump the queue right up to lieutenant that easily. Each role requires a fairly fixed amount of time served before there is the chance to progress to a higher level. There is also a strict process of examinations and interviews in order to get the job.

It doesn’t matter how well your superiors know you personally or how much promise they see in you. If you mess up the interview or fail the exam, then you will have to try again.

Also, don’t forget that there will be people in your rank in other companies that have more experience and will also want to fill any vacant positions that may arise.

Some candidates will rise through the ranks with greater ease because they know how to make the most of their time in each role. They understand the chain of command and the end goals, not just their current duties.

The first thing to do if you want to get ahead and prove your worth to those higher-ups is to understand every aspect of your current role and perform your duties perfectly. Show you are a quick learner, a team player and a problem solver where it counts.

Then, use your problem -solving skills to observe the department through the mind of someone in an administrative role. What would you do to improve the department and its efficiency? It is OK to make suggestions in a respectful manner. You don’t have to be a yes-man all the time.

You can also use your time in your current role to study courses in management, administration and other subjects that could help you further your career down the line.

Online courses with colleges and universities will provide official qualifications that look great on a resume. Then, when the time comes, you can bring this all together and shine when it comes to those interviews and examinations.

Salary Prospects for Different Fire Department Ranks

There is a very rough average nationally that places a firefighter’s salary at around $40,000 per year, with lieutenants earning around $55,000, captains $60,000 and fire chiefs $70,000. This big jump in pay, along with other financial benefits is a big incentive for firefighters to try for a promotion when the time comes.

Don’t forget that these figures can vary greatly between states. Some of the poorer states like Alabama and West Virginia don’t offer so much while big metropolitan departments in New York and California will pay considerably more. There may also be different jumps in pay in different departments.

Research the ranks and structure of your local department before applying.  Much of the information here is based on the national average and the general process across the US. The structure is the most common for metropolitan fire departments.

But, that doesn’t mean that your department or those in non-metropolitan areas will conform in the same manner. It could depend on the proportion of volunteers and the size of the EMS division. Variations will take place across many departments in the same state.

This means variations in pay, expectations for the job and the amount of time you have to spend in one role before you are eligible for promotion.

That is why it is important to focus on the structure of your local department. What are the prospects and different ranks in the department where you will make your living? How many firefighters are employed there and how long do you have to be a probationary firefighter or qualified firefighter before progressing further?

Engage in plenty of research for the fire department ranks ahead and construct your career plan before you even gain all your initial qualifications. Understand your potential within the department, what you want to get out of the job and how you can best achieve it.

How to Join a Cult • Akina Cox

Only certain movies and books get cults right. Those are hard to watch because they remind me too much of my past. The constricting rules, the inability to feel that life could be anything different, the need to always belong, the danger of being cast out… it’s practically suffocating.

I wasn't able to watch the new Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale. I read the book in high school, when I was still in a cult and about to enter into an arranged marriage. It was so painful to read that I have a hard time thinking about it now.

Going Clear was a great documentary, although the book it was based on was too triggering for me to finish. My favorite TV show right now is Leah Remini’s series on Scientology. It’s powerful because she gives people a platform to tell their stories. Most people in the series were born into Scientology or were members for decades. They know what they're talking about.

Sometimes I stumble across other accurate depictions. I saw the original Carrie for the first time last year, and I was surprised that Carrie’s mother reminded me of my own mom. I had never seen such a perfect portrayal of her in the media before. No one had ever caught my mother’s character. Once I noticed, I started to watch Carrie more critically and found myself yelling at the television, “Oh, the mother character wouldn't ever do that,” “Her decor is all wrong,” and “If she was so pious, she wouldn't have said that!”

///////////////////

Even the best portrayals of cults tend to get one thing wrong. They don’t understand why people join in the first place. I’ve technically never joined a cult (unless you count art school). I have, however, met hundreds of people who did. My parents have joined two, and I knew them for most of my life.

My mother met the cult after having "visions." She was in her bed at college when the room started spinning and pulsating around her. She was worried about what was happening, but she didn't tell anyone. Instead, she went home with the excuse that she needed to do research for a paper. While at home, she met a man outside the library who invited her to have dinner at his home. He and his roommates were members of the Unification Church, also known as the Moonies. They invited her to an introductory lecture about the Church, and she decided to hear more.

/////////////////////////////

This story was told to me many times in my childhood. Growing up, adults loved to tell us second-generation their “testimonies,” or stories of how they were introduced to the Church. Often these tales included visions or other “spiritual messages.”

///////////////////////////

Many serious mental issues, such as schizophrenia, present themselves when people are in their early twenties. That’s also a pretty typical age for new cult members. My mom was twenty-one when she started getting her visions.

Looking back, it seems clear to me that she was starting to present signs of schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder. She didn't get any help from anyone, instead turning to a whole theology that normalized her symptoms.

It wasn't just my mom. When new members in Church lectures are told that Rev. Moon is the messiah, occasionally they counter with "No! I am the messiah!" This happens so frequently that there is an explanation for it in Church doctrine.

//////////////////////////////////

Unification Church members believe that potential converts are sent messages by "spirit world." This spirit world encourages them to find the Church, often pointing the way by sending visions and other messages. According to the Church, people sometimes interpret visions from spirit world incorrectly. New members who think that they're the messiah are really only getting half the message from spirit world. Spirit world is trying to tell them that Rev. Moon is actually the messiah, but they're only hearing part of the communication, like a game of telephone. After I left the cult and started to do my own research, I learned that messiah complexes are often a symptom of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Because so many cults and religions emphasize spirituality over physical reality, believers are often encouraged to reject Western medicine. Faith communities sometimes view mental illnesses as “spiritual gifts.” Sometimes friends who are not familiar with this practice think that it's harmless. They see it as an acceptance and even celebration of difference.

///////////////////////////////////

I would have really liked to have a mom who was properly cared for by medical professionals. Having a mother who literally believes she sees ghosts wasn't fun for me. I don't think it was fun for her either. It seemed like she was scared and exhausted.

////////////////////////////

Some new research has started to connect synesthesia with schizophrenia. Scientists are now starting to wonder if schizophrenia exists on a spectrum, like autism. Perhaps there are many people who have visions without the accompanying paranoia. I know that there are plenty of people who have schizophrenia and other mental disorders that take their medication, seek treatment, and would never join a cult. But it does seem as though there are a higher amount of people in cults that have untreated mental health issues.

Maybe the introductory lectures weed out most people. Most of the Church's lectures start with some variation of this question: How do we know what is good and what is evil? I recently saw a Scientology video that basically asked the same thing. A lot of people might not find that question necessary, or might be uneasy with an organization that claims to have all the answers.

Some people listen. They listen intently to the lecturer, saying to themselves, "That is a good question! How do we know?” The Unification Church provides an answer that has plenty of holes in its logic. But if you exhibit signs of disordered thinking, you might not see them.

///////////////////////////////////////////

Rev. Moon invented the term “love bombing” in the early seventies. Love bombing is an abusive technique. Affection and attention are showered on an unsuspecting victim, with the aim that they will become more trusting and therefore more controllable. My mom told me about this tactic when I was a kid.

She explained that new members didn't understand that God loves them and just how special they are. It was important to find something to love about each new member, and focus on that quality. What she didn't say is that older members are expected to suffer. They are told that God expects a lot out of each Church member, and they need to work hard to save all of his children. Since any time taken off work literally prolongs God’s pain, members are encouraged to push past all physical needs and limits.

////////////////////////////////////

Cults and other “high demand groups” have existed for millennia. The history of America is entwined with cult activity, at least since a raggedy bunch of extremist Christians washed up on Plymouth Rock. Often gaining in popularity at the end of each century, cults also flourish at other times. The rise of occult spiritualists and mediums perhaps not so coincidentally occurred at the same time as the invention of electricity. One of the most recent booms was in the 1970s in California. These cults targeted teenagers and young adults—baby boomers raised by parents who lived through World War II.

In the fifties, society was decades away from any attempt to diagnose or treat post-traumatic stress disorder. Plenty of soldiers came home, got jobs, and drank their nightmares away. Domestic violence wasn't a term yet. Women were still a couple years away from being able to open their own bank accounts. Life had been completely upended for an entire generation, and then people were told to grin and bear it.

To make matters worse, many of these people procreated. Having children seems to have been a requirement to be a member of society. What was it like to grow up the kid of a combat veteran and a mom torn out of the workplace? I can only imagine.

It seems as though there was a tacit agreement to sweep World War II under the rug and act as though it didn't happen. The world had just witnessed suffering and loss on a magnitude previously thought to be unimaginable. It was easier to act like everything was normal instead of dealing with the trauma.

The children of this “greatest generation” grew up in a utopia with a dark underbelly, and then they acted out. They became hippies and smoked pot. For some baby boomers, that's all they did. Others got suckered into different cults that were thriving on kids who were just trying to make sense of a bizarre world.

Hare Krishnas, Scientologists, the Moonies... They were all there, ready to tell hippies that they had all the answers. Perhaps the rigid structures and oppressive nature of these cults felt familiar to baby boomers. Everything fitting into its box. Luckily a lot of converts quickly saw through the bullshit and left. But many didn’t.

///////////////////////

Imagine growing up in a dysfunctional household, bumbling around for a few years, and then showing up to an event where everyone is really really really kind. They tell you that they love you and that you are special.

If your parents had raised you with love and respect, you might be weirded out. You might wonder why literal strangers are professing their love for you. It would look fake and manipulative. Like a creepy first date.

If no one had told you that in your life, however, this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

////////////////////////

Family dynamics are present in all religions, especially cults. Even in mainstream Christianity, God is referred to as a father. His unquestioned authority and the devotion he demands are essentially a template for abusive relationships. Most cults have a founder that is also looked to as a parental figure. In the Unification Church, Rev. Moon is referred to as “True Father.”

And the Church is abusive. Textbook abusive. Expectations are unspeakably high. Perfection is spoken of as an attainable act. Love is withheld after that initial taste.

Love is spoken about as if it's freely given, but there are so many caveats. You must marry someone in the Church. You cannot be gay. You cannot live alone. You have to do whatever your parents say. You have to do whatever the minister of your church says. You cannot drink or do drugs. You cannot sleep around. You cannot think bad thoughts.

Despite getting married in the Unification Church, I knew that my acceptance in my family and community was predicated on the success of my marriage. Unconditional love was always out of reach.

It was tough. Who would willingly sign up for that? Someone to whom this felt familiar. Someone who already lived through an abusive relationship.

/////////////////////////////

I don't know what kind of life every single Church member had. But I have never met a cult member that grew up in a functional family, or didn’t have severe mental issues.

Sometimes people with abusive parents marry abusive partners, and sometimes people from troubled homes join abusive cults. Because this is the thing about cults—it’s not the cult. It’s the person who joins. Even if they end up leaving, they often will leave to join a different cult. The Unification Church started to break apart a few years ago after a sex scandal and the founder’s death. A lot of members joined splinter groups. Ones that left altogether joined Landmark Forum, invested in pyramid schemes, or became conspiracy theorists.

///////////////////////////////

I don’t know why people are fascinated with cults. I certainly don’t seek out the TV shows, books, and movies about them. Usually they’re written by some lazy screenwriter who hasn’t done enough research. Cults are an easy target. Their religious practices, foods, and clothing seem to be endlessly fascinating to the general public. Cult members are seen as freaks who reject modern society, so perhaps that’s why it’s still acceptable to talk about cult members as if they’re not fully human, as if they’re animals at a zoo.

/////////////////////////

I told a friend how angry I was at the media’s portrayal of cults.

“They portray us as dressed in white robes, singing songs around a campfire,” I whined, before I stopped myself. That characterization has some truth to it. I’ve definitely done both of those things in the Unification Church, although perhaps not simultaneously. Maybe the media gets some things right. But I would really like people to consider the trauma that one would have to go through in order for a cult to seem like a good idea.

/////////////////////////

A lot of books and movies about cults start the same way that horror films do. The same opening scene of a perfect town, a perfect family. Suddenly, the child is snatched away, lost forever to a terrifying cult.

It is an exciting premise, but it is a false narrative perpetuated by too many people.

Former cult members are often responsible for pushing this tale. They think of themselves as normal, and they make work to justify their beliefs. Leah Remini is even guilty of this. On a recent episode, she interviewed her mom about why she joined Scientology. She and her mom tried to explain it in a way that didn't question her mom’s intelligence. Leah explained that her mom went to nursing school. Personally, I know a lot of smart nurses. I also know some nurses who believe that putting magnets on your wrist will cure cancer.

It's not just cult members who are invested in this idea. Deprogrammers, untrained therapists who specialize in treating cult members, also support this theory. Deprogrammers can't say that cult members are either mentally unstable or they came from an abusive background. No one would hire them. They’re often hired by cult members’ families. Plus, deprogrammers are often previous cult members, further complicating the issue.

Most surprisingly, psychiatrists and historians studying cults also get it wrong. I think it's because they often are interviewing families, who are invested in presenting themselves as normal and blameless. The family is suffering and is eager to shift responsibility to the evil cult.

////////////////////////

A lot of times people ask me if I’m angry at my parents for raising me in the Unification Church, or if I hate the cult. I’m mostly just sad. So many people wasted decades of their lives in these groups, some suffering without desperately needed mental health treatment. Underneath the robes and vats of weird food, the situation is really depressing. I don’t really blame cult members for getting into this mess.

I also can’t blame most of their families. I know how unhealthy it is to use denial to deal with a traumatic event like World War II, but I don’t know that I would have acted any differently. My brother, a trans man, was physically threatened at work last week. Instead of dealing with my feelings and processing my fear over his safety, I had a meltdown over a missing pencil.

In the short term, it feels so much better to ignore painful issues. But doing so leads us to incorrectly identify the source. Without acknowledging our wounds, we are unable to take the steps necessary to heal.

When you look at them up close, cults aren’t mysterious at all. They’re kind of predictable. And maybe that’s the scary thing. They are a natural byproduct of us, of our society. Our closely held fears and family secrets. The damage we’ve inflicted on each other down the generations. Cults exist to fill a hole that we create.

Want To Get Out Of Debt?

You should treat Your Life Like A Business.  Think about it.  Everywhere you turn, whether it’s TV, radio or the internet, consumers are inundated with “get out of debt fast” scams. Unfortunately, most families end up learning the hard way that if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Companies like Tax Masters, JK Harris and others have gone out of business due to an inability to deliver on the unrealistic promises they make to their customers.

The Business World Has Important Lessons To Offer Consumers Trying To Get Out Of Debt

Since those searching for debt relief have been warned about scams, and have already read countless articles on saving money, paying down debt, borrowing from family and friends and shopping for lower interest credit opportunities, I wanted to liven things up a bit with a different type of get out of debt plan.

Start treating your life like a business. While it may sound counterintuitive, there are many important lessons consumers can learn from successful small business owners.

Successful businesses track spending and don’t take on overhead unless it’s necessary

As a small business owner who has been in business for over 4 years now, I can attest to this principle personally. Unnecessary overhead is a killer. Small business owners won’t stay in business long if they recklessly take on overhead and spend on goods and services they don’t need. In many respects, the trick to running a service based business, like a small law firm, is smart decision making when it comes to spending. If you’re looking for ways to get out of debt, you could do a lot worse than starting with a Quick Books account for your personal checking account.

Start tracking where your money goes

Are you spending too much on entertainment? Credit card bills? Housing? Keeping an eye on where your money is going will give you a better idea of how to cut back on non-essential spending. For example, you may believe that you’re only spending small amounts on dinner and drinks with friends, but maybe it’s a larger percentage of your gross income than you realized. Having access to hard data will up your sophistication level considerably and give you ideas for a plan of action.

Successful businesses are organized

Too often, consumers facing bill problems are overwhelmed by the sheer number of creditors that are calling and writing. They lose track of who and how much they owe. If your plan is to get out of debt, this is not an option. Like a small business that keeps records of all vendors, expenditures, deductions and receipts, you too need a master list of all debts. Even if it is nothing more than an excel spreadsheet that you update every week or so, keep track of every outstanding bill you owe. Make a separate category for bills that are recurring on a monthly basis. Again, this strategy is made much easier by using software like Quick Books, but any system is better than no system. For the chronically disorganized, even a special folder where all bills are kept would be a start. There is no way to get out of debt, unless you have a clear picture of how deep you are in the first place. Get organized.

Successful small business owners think outside the box

Even if only for a moment, break free from the “salary mentality.” Your income does not necessarily need to be finite based on a raise or promotion. Most successful entrepreneurs are creative, they’ve invented ways to make money, either on the side, or as the sole focus of their career. You can do the same, and don’t think you need a multi-million dollar idea to participate. Brainstorm with friends or family, where does your expertise lie? How can you monetize your talents? Even something as simple as selling baked goods to local businesses, creating gift baskets for events, tutoring local students, or making special T-shirts with a catchy slogan can begin to generate income you can use to pay down your debts.

Successful businesses have a long term time horizon

You know all the cliches: Rome wasn’t built in a day, patience is a virtue etc. But consider this, most startup business ventures don’t allow stock options to vest for four years or more! Business owners understand that the first years of a new enterprise are often the most difficult and they are prepared to invest time and money in order to build something sustainable. The goal is to put a plan in place that you can stick with, and that will produce results, for years to come. Forget the scams, forget the get rich quick stuff, get organized, get data and get going, one step at a time.

Successful businesses use bankruptcy as a reset button

At the dinner table, bankruptcy is taboo, but in the board room, it is a sophisticated move that businesses use to start over stronger than before. While bankruptcy is not a process to be entered into lightly, it must be considered as an option for a struggling consumer just as it is for a struggling business. Regardless of level of organization, time horizon, reduction in overhead or side profits from an entrepreneurial business, some consumers are hopelessly saddled with debt and have no other way out than bankruptcy. The point here is that bankruptcy cannot be foreclosed as an option, and must be evaluated, even as you seek to avoid it.

Getting Out of Debt Isn’t Easy, But It Is Possible

Getting out of debt isn’t easy and there will never be a shortage of voices telling you the “best” way to succeed. Regardless of which path you decide to take, incorporating some of sophistication of a successful business into your personal finance routine can only help in the long run.

Five Strategies for Deciding on the best Chiropractor

Most people have had the experience before: trying to choose from a list of possible businesses or experts along with hardly any of material to go on. Most of the time all of us depend on on the internet evaluations, looks at webpages, and when we're lucky we may have a friend that has been to that business currently and may let you know what to expect. Going to a chiropractor is an important decision, even more therefore because many people don't know a lot regarding chiropractic to begin with. What small they understand may very well be wrong. A few consider chiropractors very badly and therefore are skeptical of the marketplace. Many are available to visiting a chiropractor however have no friends or family to influence these to the right person, and have no experience along with chiropractic care that would help to make an online research simpler. It will help when you are aware the "language" of something since your Google search will be a lot more fruitful when you use the right terminology. Using wide conditions frequently may internet you nothing more than a list of chiropractors that do lots of advertising and who fill up their web sites along with key phrases just to attract visitors by way of Google. Choosing a chiropractor is within many different ways a very individual decision. Because of so many types of DC's out there this means that you are able to probably locate one customized to your needs. This information will describe how to conduct a great research that will demonstrate all of the nearby chiropractors and allow you to differentiate between them so that you can get the best option. 1. Will you the chiropractor only for pain relief, or for overall health? You are able to freely separate chiropractors in to 2 groups: alternative chiropractors as well as mechanistic chiropractic specialists. All chiropractic specialists are conscious of this distinction, and in fact the profession has been around a general state of low-level internal turmoil together this problem line since it's beginning. Some chiropractic specialists know this particular as a battle associated with "straights versus. mixers". The interior conflict, that really has many good benefits, continues to be continuing because the start of profession within 1895. This particular duality is a power of the profession: with no alternative character of chiropractic care we'd be physical therapists that alter the actual backbone, as well as without the mechanistic character associated with chiropractic we'd forget the real benefits to wellness that chiropractic care provides millions of Americans each year, and the real detrimental results of spine joint breakdown (subluxation). 2. Do you want long-term treatment or can you prefer to possess your complaint handled after which have your situation shut? Many chiropractic specialists, with varying examples of medical proof in order to back this particular upward, market chiropractic care as a practical option to traditional health care. These people view chiropractic as a way to foster the health of your central nervous system via chiropractic care spine adjustments, which in turn allows the physique to function at a higher level. Chiropractic specialists as well as patients all over the country will verify improved health along with much less illness and injuries after they integrated chiropractic care to their lives. Regular adjustments assist children and adults deal with everything from allergic reactions to headaches, and people who want to avoid prescription medication frequently select chiropractic rather. Hard medical evidence in order to validate this is hard to come across due to natural issues in designing a study capable of testing the "chiropractic lifestyle" and it is impact on overall health, but situation series' exist as well as we have likely all met someone who will vow down and up which chiropractic is actually maintaining all of them out of the physician's office. On the other hand of the coin tend to be chiropractic specialists that will work to promote proper combined perform at the hurt area after which rehabilitate the actual combined as well as helping gentle cells, after which they'll release you from care. There is a worth within this, just as there is a worth in wellness or even upkeep care. Delivering a patient after their own discomfort is finished will save the patient cash. It will likewise please a person's health insurance provider -- not that your insurer's joy ought to ever be a factor for making health decisions, however they maintain control of your wellbeing in some essential methods there is a value in not selecting a person's crosshair at the insurer's company head office. Instead of promote ongoing treatment, the mechanistic chiropractor works to correct the actual immediate issue only. Often lower back pain might stem from a weak ankle or leg, so that your chiropractor may very well concentrate on a spot that isn't painful, so not really assume the place of the discomfort is the cause of your pain. A simple difference between alternative and mechanistic chiropractors is that the holistic chiropractor will deal with the patient past the scientific restrictions a more mechanistic chiropractor would self-impose. This particular really scarves #1 as well as #2 together. For example, a mechanistic chiropractor may treat low back pain through trying to rehabilitate a sacroiliac joint and then launch the customer once the sacroiliac combined results to normalcy, pain-free perform. An all natural chiropractor will treat the client until subluxations (spine misalignments causing neural irritation) tend to be fully resolved and then expand their own focus on consist of general subluxation modification within the entire spine in order to promote general wellness. Both methods possess real worth. While imposing limitations on therapy in line with the limitations of the items peer-reviewed research may verify is important, holistic chiropractic specialists recognize which progress in science occurs by pushing the boundaries associated with knowing as well as treating patients in ways that present greatest proof may not fully support. The actual outside of technology is where improvement is generally created -- though it can also be exactly where quackery finds sanctuary. Three. Are you currently hurt or are you currently dysfunctional? Quite simply, did your own pain come on suddenly from an injury or made it happen occur slower due to something repeatedly do? Sudden pain usually means an injury happened. Sometimes it is a car accident, or perhaps a fall, or a sports activities injuries. These type of injuries might be exactly what a certain type of chiropractor focuses on or even has certification as well as elevated training in. In the event of these kinds of injuries you'll need a chiropractor who can confidently treat injuries as well as stresses, who can distinguish various kinds of accidents, as well as who will recognize whenever a personal injury is simply too serious for them and is also persistent enough to determine certain indicators as well as recommend other providers when necessary. Many holistic chiropractors, though not every, are susceptible to watching the backbone when it comes to subluxations only and may consequently miss the subtle indications of a far more severe injury that needs the expertise of the specially-trained chiropractor, a good orthopedist or even neurologist. Although not a company rule, a more mechanistic chiropractor can be a less dangerous bet whenever a unpleasant injury is involved. Four. What expert associations serve the chiropractic care occupation, and how can this help you find the best Electricity? There's two large nationwide organizations which represent chiropractors: the actual ACA and the ICA. The actual ACA may be the United states Chiropractic Organization and the ICA may be the International Chiropractic care Organization. The actual ACA is more mechanistic and also the ICA is much more alternative. State associations are more varied, so it is difficult to detect much in regards to a chiropractor from looking at his or her state organization regular membership unless you look into the politics or philosophical leanings of this organization - lots of work with locating a chiropractor. To create issues easy, realize that many ICA chiropractors actually oppose the actual ACA, and the other way around, so that you can learn much more from their membership (or even non-membership) in national organizations than you can using their company things you might find on the website or even on the internet listings for any chiropractor. It's important to not really study too much in to this bit of info, though, not to mention to think about that people are multi-dimensional and could not fit in to the dichotomy I'm explaining. Still, included in a larger group of information to make a judgement, this is often useful to consider. 5. In the event you think about their web sites, evaluations, and recommendations? And just how important tend to be personal recommendations? You may find out soon enough that many chiropractors use one of the handful of businesses to create their websites. This means that if you visit 10 various chiropractor's websites you may see exactly the same web site over and over again with just another DC's title onto it. What this means is the content is unoriginal and also you likely cannot discover much concerning the chiropractor from their site. This particular reduces the worth of the website. Chiropractors would be better off through ditching the actual rotating Three dimensional spines and rather placing actual content on their sites. These sites consist of content material but very little, if any, of the information on the site is unique to that particular chiropractor. Actually articles with bylines that include which chiropractor's name are probably not articles compiled by that actual chiropractor. Believe intellectual idleness as well as lying whenever any kind of professional places his title as well as credentials with an article he or she did not writer. Even though it is a typical exercise, that does not mean it is the proper way to promote your self. Online evaluations, for example Howl! and Ottawa !, are great. Often, although, companies sport the system by looking into making fake evaluations. Are the reviews in the exact same approximate time? For example, tend to be 10 evaluations just about all from March 2012? If so, that is dubious. If the evaluations appear legitimate they might provide you with some understanding of the kind of Electricity, but when they are dubious then you need to remember the old adage "buyer beware". Quite often a poor evaluation (that is legitimate) is going to be followed with numerous unlawful good reviews in order to drown out the bad 1. Obtaining past the unlawful reviews you may really be capable of getting lots of good information through reading reviews, so please make use of a internet search engine to look for "jones family chiropractic reviews" and find out what comes up. Testimonials should be looked at as advertising, however they probably are real stories from actual individuals. The chiropractor is selecting what information you need to listen to. When they choose 5 individuals that discuss the chiropractor treating their back pain, this chiropractor wants you to view them as a professional at the spine discomfort. If they discuss kids and allergies, that is what they want you to understand these people focus on. In this manner, testimonials can be used to obtain a look at the chiropractor. Personal referrals are the most useful resource as it is typically unfiltered and direct. Request a friend or even family member and you will have an unbiased viewpoint. The very best chiropractors (and also the best attorneys, realtors, as well as pastry chefs) just about all get most of their new customers because they handled the actual customers they already have so well. People are fast in order to complain about poor support, so when somebody includes a good thing to say about the way they had been handled then you should identify this particular because worth your interest. Consider it like this: that person tried out a chiropractor which means you don't have to. A personal referral through someone you trust is easily the most useful info you will come across. There you have it! I hope these types of 5 tips help you limit your research for the perfect chiropractor. This really is by no means a complete list of all considerations, but it's a great way to structure your search and find the Electricity that fits your needs and will provide what you are looking with regard to. Take care and become well. Check out about downtown chiropractor net page: check.

Five Guidelines For Picking out the right Chiropractor

We've all been there prior to: attempting to decide on involving a list of prospective corporations or experts with really tiny of substance to go on. Most of the time we rely on online testimonials, glances at web pages, and if we're lucky we may perhaps know someone who has been to that business already and can inform you what to count on. Going to a HK chiropractor is definitely an significant choice, much more so since many people don't know considerably about chiropractic to begin with. What tiny they do know may perhaps very effectively be incorrect. Some consider chiropractors very poorly and are skeptical of the profession. Some are open to seeing a chiropractor but have no mates or loved ones to steer them towards the correct person, and have no knowledge with chiropractic that would make an World wide web search less difficult. It helps if you know the "language" of one thing since your Google search will likely be substantially much more fruitful when you use the correct terminology. Using broad terms usually will net you practically nothing more than a list of chiropractors who do lots of advertising and who fill their web-sites with keywords and phrases just to attract visitors by means of Google. Deciding upon a chiropractor is in several ways an extremely individual choice. With numerous kinds of DC's out there that indicates that you just can probably find 1 tailored to your requires. This article will outline how you can conduct a very good search that may show you each of the local chiropractors and allow you to inform them apart so that you are able to make the most beneficial selection. 1. Are you going to a chiropractor simply for discomfort relief, or for common overall health? It is possible to loosely separate chiropractors into two groups: holistic chiropractors and mechanistic chiropractors. All chiropractors know of this distinction, and in reality the profession has been in a common state of low-level internal conflict along this fault line considering the fact that it's inception. Some chiropractors know this as a war of "straights vs. mixers". The internal conflict, which really has lots of constructive advantages, has been ongoing considering the fact that the start in the profession in 1895. This duality is often a strength with the profession: with no the holistic character of chiropractic we would be physical therapists who adjust the spine, and without the need of the mechanistic character of chiropractic we would shed sight in the incredibly true rewards to health that chiropractic care provides millions of Americans each year, and the actual detrimental effects of spinal joint malfunction (subluxation). 2. Do you wish long-term care or would you choose to possess your complaint treated after which have your case closed? A lot of chiropractors, with varying degrees of scientific evidence to back this up, market chiropractic as a viable option to conventional healthcare. They view chiropractic as a approach to foster the health of your nervous program by means of chiropractic spinal adjustments, which then allows the physique to function at a higher level. Chiropractors and sufferers all more than the country will attest to improved health with less illness and injury right after they incorporated chiropractic into their lives. Normal adjustments help adults and children cope with almost everything from allergies to headaches, and people today who choose to steer clear of prescription medication typically opt for chiropractic as an alternative. Hard scientific proof to validate that is hard to come by because of inherent troubles in designing a study capable of testing the "chiropractic lifestyle" and it's effect on basic health, but case series' exist and we've probably all met a person who will swear up and down that chiropractic is keeping them out on the doctor's office. Around the flip side of this coin are chiropractors that could operate to promote appropriate joint function in the injured region then rehabilitate the joint and supporting soft tissue, immediately after which they are going to release you from care. There is a worth within this, just as there's a value in wellness or maintenance care. Releasing a patient following their discomfort is gone will save the patient funds. It will also please the patient's wellness insurer - not that your insurer's happiness ought to ever be a aspect in making well being decisions, but unfortunately they hold energy more than your wellness in some quite important techniques so there is a worth in not ending up in anyone's crosshair at your insurer's corporate headquarters. Rather than market continuing care, a mechanistic chiropractor will operate to correct the immediate issue only. Several times back pain may well stem from a weak ankle or knee, so your chiropractor may really nicely concentrate on a spot that is not painful, so don't assume the location of the discomfort may be the reason for your pain. A fundamental distinction among holistic and mechanistic chiropractors is the fact that the holistic chiropractor will treat the patient beyond the scientific limitations a extra mechanistic chiropractor would self-impose. This actually ties #1 and #2 collectively. For instance, a mechanistic chiropractor may treat low back discomfort by working to rehabilitate a sacroiliac joint then release the client when the sacroiliac joint returns to typical, pain-free function. A holistic chiropractor will treat the client until subluxations (spinal misalignments causing nerve irritation) are totally resolved and after that broaden their consideration to consist of general subluxation correction in the entire spine to be able to promote basic wellness. Each approaches have real worth. Although imposing limits on treatment determined by the limits of what peer-reviewed analysis can substantiate is important, holistic chiropractors acknowledge that progress in science happens by pushing the limits of understanding and treating patients in strategies that current greatest evidence may not fully support. The periphery of science is where progress is normally produced - though it truly is also where quackery finds refuge. 3. Are you injured or are you currently dysfunctional? In other words, did your discomfort come on all of a sudden from an injury or did it set in much more gradually due to anything you repeatedly do? Sudden discomfort ordinarily signifies an injury occurred. From time to time it truly is a car accident, or even a fall, or a sports injury. These kind of injuries might be what a certain type of chiropractor focuses on or perhaps has certification and elevated training in. In situations of these sorts of injuries you'd like a chiropractor who can confidently treat sprains and strains, who can differentiate different sorts of injuries, and who will recognize when an injury is as well serious for them and can also be diligent sufficient to see specific warning indicators and refer you to other providers when important. Numerous holistic chiropractors, although not all, are prone to viewing the spine when it comes to subluxations only and may well as a result miss the subtle signs of a much more extreme injury that needs the knowledge of a specially-trained chiropractor, an orthopedist or neurologist. Even though not a firm rule, a additional mechanistic chiropractor could be a safer bet when a painful injury is involved. 4. What qualified associations serve the chiropractic profession, and how can this enable you to obtain the correct DC? You can find two substantial national organizations that represent chiropractors: the ACA along with the ICA. The ACA could be the American Chiropractic Association and also the ICA may be the International Chiropractic Association. The ACA is far more mechanistic plus the ICA is extra holistic. State associations are a lot more varied, so it really is tough to discern significantly about a chiropractor from taking a look at his or her state association membership unless you appear into the political or philosophical leanings of that organization - lots of operate for acquiring a chiropractor. To make things straightforward, know that many ICA chiropractors essentially oppose the ACA, and vice versa, so you could glean more from their membership (or non-membership) in national organizations than you are able to from other issues you could find around the web-site or on the web listings for a chiropractor. It really is vital to not read also substantially into this bit of information and facts, although, and not surprisingly to think about that all people are multi-dimensional and may not fit into the dichotomy I'm describing. Still, as portion of a larger set of info to make a judgement, this can be useful to think about. 5. Really should you contemplate their sites, evaluations, and testimonials? And how significant are individual referrals? You could locate out quickly sufficient that many chiropractors use 1 of a handful of providers to create their web-sites. This means that for those who go to ten unique chiropractor's internet websites you might see the exact same internet site again and again once again with just a various DC's name on it. This indicates the content material is unoriginal and also you probably can not learn substantially concerning the chiropractor from their web site. This reduces the worth from the web site. Chiropractors would be improved off by ditching the spinning 3D spines and alternatively putting actual content on their web-sites. These websites are loaded with content but very small, if any, with the details on the web-site is exceptional to that chiropractor. Even articles with bylines that incorporate that chiropractor's name are almost certainly not articles written by that actual chiropractor. Suspect intellectual laziness and dishonesty when any qualified puts his name and credentials on an report he or she didn't author. Although it really is a prevalent practice, that will not mean it can be the ideal strategy to market yourself. On-line testimonials, for instance Yelp! and Yahoo!, are fantastic. Generally, even though, enterprises game the program by generating fake reviews. Are all of the reviews in the same approximate time? For example, are ten critiques all from March 2012? If so, which is suspicious. If the testimonials appear genuine they may provide you with some insight in to the sort of DC, but if they are suspicious then you definitely should remember the old adage "buyer beware". Really typically a negative assessment (which is reputable) is going to be followed with quite a few illegitimate superior testimonials as a way to drown out the bad one particular. Finding past the illegitimate reviews you could possibly in fact have the ability to get a good deal of fantastic data from reading critiques, so do not hesitate to utilize a search engine to search for "jones loved ones chiropractic reviews" and see what comes up. Testimonials ought to be looked at as marketing and advertising, but obviously they almost certainly are genuine stories from actual sufferers. The chiropractor is picking out what message you want to hear. If they opt for 5 individuals who discuss physiotherapy Hong Kong curing their back pain, then this chiropractor wants you to view them as a specialist in back pain. If they discuss children and allergies, that may be what they want you to know they specialize in. In this way, testimonials might be applied to acquire a look at the chiropractor. Individual referrals would be the finest source of information and facts due to the fact it is typically unfiltered and direct. Ask a friend or family member and you'll get an unbiased opinion. The most effective chiropractors (and the greatest attorneys, realtors, and even bakers) all get the majority of their new clients since they treated the clientele they currently have so well. Persons are fast to complain about poor service, so when someone includes a good factor to say about how they had been treated then you should recognize this as worthy of the focus. Assume of it like this: that person experimented with a chiropractor so you don't have to. A private referral from an individual you trust is very easily one of the most useful data you are going to encounter.
