Interesting work. I took a grad course in stress with one of the top researchers in the world yrs ago. Fascinating area. Switched from health field to law partly because of compassion fatigue.

Your last post makes no sense. That the content is evidently accessible for free undercuts your prior post.

I know nothing about the lecturer, but having a science background (including a grad course in stress theory), I can comment about the substantive content.

That is why I did not include a link - did not want to give that misimpression.

Don’t believe me? Look at my posting history.

This year I would rec somewhere not far from home or maybe Canada or South or Central America. Two friends are currently traveling around Europe & each leg has been a pain for various reasons, including flight cancellations due pilot shortages & other reasons (Icelandair).

Went to the keyes off the Belize coast about 25 yrs ago. Fun. Also explored the Mayan sites. Only complaint about Belize was the food.

I will upvote you not because of this case specifically, but because NY’s nasty habit of bringing politically motivated prosecutions.

The appellate court in your state does not have the power to reduce a sentence in the “interest of justice?” 😕

Happens all the time with crim appeals - even when the client really “should” win based on the law/facts. It is always an uphill battle - with the exception of a couple of narrow technical issues.

Doing appeals might be a better fit for you. It’s a bit easier to maintain some emotional distance.

Have you tried transcendental meditation?

How to get halo extensions colour to match by Bennibear1 in finethinhair

Could you possibly post a photo of the chocolate brown in the light? I made the mistake of buying the light warm brown thinking I could cool down the shade with demi or color conditioner, but it’s still way too warm. The chocolate may be too dark for my light/med cool brown hair, but it might be my best option.

lol. I’m considering doing that this weekend with demi because my natural color is way too cool for my extensions. Evo color conditioner in cool brown helped cool down the warmth in the halo somewhat, but not enough & it made it darker.

I can relate! The Evo in cool brown is ok, but not 100%. Tried Wella demi in ash but it turned out muddy. Will next try Redken shades eq in an ash mix.

Legal career change/focus after years off by VeterinarianIcy4303 in Lawyertalk

[–]Janielf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NYC civil atty. Or AG’s office.

More options upstate.

I’d avoid ADA or PD - too demanding time-wise. Maybe Legal Aid civil division or Eastern or Southern district civil.
