MDMA: The Perfect Drug For Psychotherapy w/ Dr. Ben Sessa - Duration: 6:56.
We mustn't make influences about psychedelic therapies by what we know
about the recreational use of the drugs it's almost irrelevant yeah so if if
people make influence is about MDMA therapy based on what they know about
ravers taking ecstasy then they're going to be very misinformed you know a good
analogy is imagine if there was some weird peculiar recreational pursuit
whereby people like to take out their appendix with a pair of rusty scissors
on the on the kitchen table you wouldn't then look at that bizarre
practice and say goodness me it's absolutely unethical and controversial
that doctors should do appendix operations in hospitals you know it
doesn't bear any relevance so you're quite right the general public is
irrationally fearful because they don't understand that
MDMA therapy is a medical procedure and most people don't take MDMA in that way
when they take it recreationally now some do some people take MDMA very
sensibly but a great many people don't and so they don't understand that there
is a difference and so you're quite right people need to be re-educated on
the way that these drugs can be used clinically and we can learn a lot from
recreational use and certainly from underground therapy use but the general
public is understandably fearful because they don't they don't really understand
the nature of clinical MDMA therapy and and when MDMA therapy is used in a
clinical setting we can control and manage and reduce the harms that may be
associated with recreational use so people ought not be fearful they
ought be they ought to be curious and open-minded about this the potential for
therapy with psychedelics because all of the psychedelics can be taken very
safely so that's that bit and your next question was how does it work in the
brain so yeah MDMA is very remarkable substance quite unique within
pharmacology it works on a number of different
receptors and at each of the different receptors it has an effect and in
totality when these effects are added up it's the perfect drug for psychotherapy
so at the level of the serotonin 1a 1b receptors it increases positive mood
reduces anxiety and depression and gives the person a sense of positive
well-being this is the kind of ecstasy effects so that's a very beneficial
positive experience to have in therapy with a patient who has a history of
trauma and has spent most of their life in a sense of fear and low mood and
anxiety so that's one place it works it also works at the serotonin 2a receptors
and these are the receptors where the classical psychedelics like LSD and
psilocybin work so it's not such an intensive classical an intense
psychological experiences LSD and psilocybin MDMA but it does have some
degree of the mild psychedelic effects which within therapy means it can work
to open new possibilities in terms of creativity and in terms of thinking
outside the box and open new ways of looking at all problems so that's at the
2a receptors it works on the drug on the neurotransmitter dopamine
dopamine is the kind of amphetamine speeded up part of it and this is where
it motivates the patient to engage in therapy so it's the speeds them up it
can make them more engaged whilst paradoxically working on the
2a alpha adrenal receptors which have a relaxation effect so it's both speeding
them up by the dopamine receptors and slowing them down via the of alpha 2
receptors so you're in this peculiar sense of both speeded up and slowed down
at the same time and this puts the person into the optimal arousal zone
for psychotherapy so people with trauma symptoms are often what we call hyper
vigilant they're edgy and on edge and anxious so they after effect calms
that down and people out learn if you've taken ecstasy
it does have this peculiar quality of feeling speeded up and slowed down at
the same time but therapeutically it has a very positive effect via a hormone
called oxytocin it increases the secretion of oxytocin from the brain and
oxytocin is a hormone that's secreted from the brains of breastfeeding mothers
and it's a hormone that engenders a sense of attachment and bonding and that
has a very positive effect in augmenting the quality of the therapeutic
relationship between the patient and the therapist so when you add up all of
these different effects at all of those different receptors what you get is a
drug that allows a person to be with and reflect upon painful traumatic memories
that normally they want to avoid so if you look at PTSD for example you have
people in their 30s 40s 50s who are have led this miserable life of disability
because of this thing that happened to them when they were 10 years old and
they've carried it all through their life and they've become addicted to
alcohol and they've become addicted to heroine and they've self harmed and
they've been sectioned Hospital and they've had all of these different
medications and it all comes down to the fact that they will not and cannot think
about and talk about that thing that happened to them that night when they
were 10 years old and so there's a huge avoidance about doing the psychotherapy
what MDMA does is it puts them into this place psychologically through its
pharmacological effects where they can be with it they can actually say do you
know what I can talk about that night I can talk about it in great detail for a
great deal of hours I can do this psychotherapy work so it has this
ability to provide this this kind of proof vest or lifesaver jacket that
allows you to do do the trauma work so that's really what's happening both
physically and psychologically with MDMA

Finding an Internship that Works for You - Duration: 36:55.
LEANNE RALSTIN: Hi, everyone.
My name's Leanne Ralstin, and I'm
with the Carson College of Business over here
on the Pullman campus.
And we're going to be talking about finding an internship
that works for you.
If you have any questions, type them in the chat area,
and we will address them before the seminar is over.
So let me just share my screen here.
So why are you interested in an internship?
Maybe some of it, you can talk about it a little bit.
Some people wanted to just explore their major.
Let's say you're in advertising.
Maybe you want to explore what advertising is all about.
You're not sure you want to do it.
Maybe it's a requirement of your major.
Maybe you just want to build up your resume,
get some experiences to build that resume so that you can get
that job when you are ready.
Or you just want to gain some extra skills and knowledge.
Maybe that's what it's about for you.
You just want the experience.
But really, it's-- a lot of it's about making connections.
So one of the things that I like to talk about a lot,
before you even get into what kind of internship
and finding it, is what are your goals?
Why do you want the internship?
If it's to gain experiences, what kind of experiences?
What are your overall career goals?
And where do you want to get this experience?
What location do you want to be in?
Do you need to be near your home?
What company?
Do you want to work for a big company, a small company?
What kind of experience do you want?
There's a lot to be said for working
for a very large company like Boeing or Amazon,
but there's quite a bit to be said for working for a mom
and pop shop as well.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
What do you need?
When you think about your goals, what
are your overall career ambitions?
What are you missing?
And also do you need to be paid?
Some internships are paid and some are not.
So do you need money?
What do you want?
Going back to those experiences, what kind of experiences
do you want?
Do you want people experiences or hands-on experiences?
And also thinking about what steps are needed.
If you decide to, let's say, move
to another city for an internship for a short term,
what steps are needed?
How are you going to arrange housing and things like that?
These are all things that you should consider
when you're setting your goals.
Next thing you need to do is gather some information.
And by that, I mean talk to people.
Talk to people that you know here at the college.
Talk to your professors.
Talk to your classmates.
Who do you know?
And start building that network, because honestly,
a lot of internships are found through networking.
Go to career fairs and career expos.
The Pullman campus has a major career expo the first week
of October this fall, and then they always
have another one in the spring.
But the fall one is the big one.
And I'll just tell you right up, most companies
are recruiting for interns in the fall
more than in the spring.
There'll still be some in the spring, but not as many.
Talk to people that are in the field.
If you want to go into, let's say, accounting,
talk to the accountants because they might know of internships.
They might know of good places to go for an internship.
And also, on the other side, the bad places.
Don't go here for an internship.
Go to info sessions.
Now, I know a lot of you on the Global Campuses
aren't here on campus, but on campus, we
have a lot of info sessions.
Companies will come and just talk about what they do
and what they're hiring for.
But some of these can be recorded for you
or broadcast live, like what we're doing now,
if you have a desire to do that.
And also, you can go directly to the companies
if they have info sessions.
Go to conferences in your field.
A lot of associations have student discounts
if you join their association.
And go to their conferences.
You'd be amazed at the people that you
can network with there.
LinkedIn-- if you don't have a LinkedIn account yet,
I highly recommend that you explore LinkedIn.
Because LinkedIn is a terrific tool.
It's professional networking, and their job boards
are fantastic.
You can find all kinds of internships on there,
as well as jobs for later.
It's a great job search tool.
And I mentioned the professional organizations earlier.
Just go directly to the websites.
If you want to work for a big company,
they're bound to have a terrific website.
I was just looking today at the Amazon website and the Boeing
website, and they both have whole sections
devoted to internships in their companies.
So those are great places.
If you know the company that you want to do,
that's a good place to go.
So any questions so far?
SPEAKER 1: No questions quite yet, Leanne.
LEANNE RALSTIN: OK.
There's different types of internships,
and you might want to be aware because some companies might
call it by a different name.
And some of these, they're slightly different in how
they're arranged and set up, but they
could be called a co-op or field experience or a practicum,
sometimes service learning.
All of these are different, but they could be great experiences
just as well.
They could be called an externship
or an apprenticeship.
All of these are great ways to get those experiences
that you desire in your field.
So don't be turned off by the different names.
There's paid internships and there's unpaid internships.
Now, you need to decide, do you need to be paid?
If so, you want to just look at those opportunities that
are paid.
Maybe it doesn't matter to you if you're paid or not.
It just depends on your field.
A lot of internships in the for-profit world,
like in the business world for instance,
most of those internships will be paid.
But if you're working for a nonprofit or any sort
of organization that is maybe government-oriented,
a lot of those are unpaid.
Now, you can still gain terrific expenses,
even if you're unpaid.
But you need to consider that.
What kind of internship is it?
A lot of government internships will also pay very well,
so you just kind of got to look and see what it is.
But do ask the question if it's not
clear in the job description.
And then there's the credit versus no credit.
A lot of times, even if you have an unpaid internship,
you can take the internship for credit.
And maybe that credit gets applied to your major.
And that's a terrific advantage because a lot of majors
require you to have a certain amount of internship credits.
Other times, it doesn't matter.
This is something you want to check
with your academic advisor on to see if it's a benefit for you.
And especially if it's unpaid, you
might want to consider getting the credit at least for it.
You want to consider also the length of the internship.
Some internships will go like a year, and others,
it's just a few weeks.
What time of year is it?
Is it in the summer?
Is it in the winter, spring?
Is it over Christmas break?
What time of year is it?
Those are all things to consider.
One company could have different kinds of internships depending
on the time of year, and you need
to figure out which one of them benefits you the most.
And again, you need to consider the location and the company.
Like I said, these bigger companies,
they have lots of internship opportunities.
But an internship in say, Seattle,
may be different than an internship in say, St. Louis.
So think about what's involved and the location also.
So starting to search--
I see there's a question here--
differences between an internship and externship.
It kind of depends on the company.
You don't hear the term externship that often,
but internship is more common.
The both give you experiences, it's
just how they're set up behind the scenes more than anything.
OK.
So starting to search--
a few places that you can start searching for internships.
Like I said before, start talking to people.
Start building your network.
That's the number one place.
And networking can include face-to-face time with people
that you know.
I mean even Facebook.
I don't really recommend that you post your resume
necessarily on Facebook, but you can certainly
post your education and experiences and such
on LinkedIn.
These are great places to just start.
Figure out who has the internships.
General job boards-- yeah, you can look at these,
but I'm going to warn you, a lot of these big job boards,
like monster.com and indeed.com, can feel like a big black hole.
Sometimes people find great opportunities there,
but a lot of times, they don't.
But they're a good place to figure out what's out there.
For instance, if you go on indeed.com, and you find,
oh, there's a lot of internship opportunities
in the Sacramento, California area.
Well, then you know to go to those companies and look at it.
I wouldn't necessarily apply on these big job boards,
but they're a good place to get you started
to figure out where things are.
You can look at these internship-specific websites,
like internships.com internmatch.com.
These are pretty good, but again, they're
pretty big job boards, but they can give you
an idea of what's out there.
If you want to work in the nonprofit or government area,
these are two great sites, idealist.org usajobs.gov.
Fantastic web sites, I recommend them.
They also are both very big, but you have a really good chance.
The only way you're going to get a job
with the government, almost every time,
is if you apply on usajobs.gov.
Idealist is one of those really large job boards,
but it still gives you a good idea of what kind of nonprofits
are out there and who's hiring.
And like I mentioned before, go directly
to the company website.
Some of the big ones in Washington state
include Boeing, Amazon, Microsoft, Schweitzer.
Those are just a few off the top of my head.
Go directly to their websites.
And like I said, I was just on the website for Boeing
and Amazon today, and they have fantastic areas showing
all kinds of possible internships for students
or new graduates.
And of course, there's the WSU resources.
Don't forget about these.
Go directly to the department you might be interested in.
If you're interested in interning for whatever entity
related to WSU, go on the WSU HR job boards site,
and find out what's happening there.
You might be able to find something pretty cool.
And WSU has a new-- we no longer have couglink.
We have what's called handshake.
It's just a new platform for the job board for students.
I highly recommend that you go in there.
Check it out.
If you go to the ASCC website, you can find it there.
It's a terrific resource.
I highly recommend it for job or internship search.
Let's see.
Yeah, sometimes deadlines pass pretty quick.
You want to make sure that you get in there
and find those internships.
I was just alerted today that the State Department is looking
for interns, and it looked pretty interesting
if you're interested in government work.
So if you go to USA--
no, it's the State Department.
Go directly to the State Department website,
and you should be able to find some interesting opportunities
there.
OK, there is a slight difference between internships and job
search.
If any of you--
oh, I see a question.
Just a second.
Does handshake cover outside Washington State?
As long as you're a WSU student, you can use handshake.
But go to the WSU website to find the handshake,
otherwise you're just looking at a generic handshake website.
You want to make sure you use the WSU one,
and then it'll ask you to login with your student credentials.
OK, back to internships versus job search.
I'm sure a lot of you have held jobs at some point or another,
but there is a little bit of difference
between the internship job search and the job search.
With internships, you need to be more proactive.
Networking is everything in finding a good job,
as well as a good internship.
But with internships they're not--
especially with the mom and pop shops,
they're not necessarily advertised,
so you need to get out there and talk to people
and figure out where the opportunities might lie.
You know, like I said, they're often not posted online.
So talking to people is huge.
Sometimes you want to directly contact the company.
If there is a company you're really excited about
and you don't see on their website
that they've posted anything about internships,
if you get to networking with people that work there,
maybe you can find out, maybe you
can create your own internship.
Sometimes that happens.
I would suggest just directly contacting the company
if you think there's a possibility
or if you just really love that company.
Word of mouth-- again, going back to the networking.
A lot of these internships, people are just saying, hey,
refer people to us.
We need interns.
And start early.
I can't stress this enough.
If you want an internship for, say, next summer,
you need to start searching now.
You need to start getting your stuff together now.
Because this is the recruiting season.
Like I mentioned, the fall is when a lot of these companies
are recruiting heavily for interns.
So it's not too early to start for next summer.
It's not to say that you couldn't
find an internship that starts sooner
or that you can start later and still get an internship.
That happens, but this is, like I said, the big recruiting
season.
I would start right away.
OK.
So if you are going to start applying,
here are some of the things that you need to keep in mind here.
Look at the description of the internship
and study it like you do a text book.
Get your highlighter out, highlight the keywords,
analyze the language, determine the important points.
Think about what's important to the company,
and what do they need?
They need someone who at least has a little bit of background
in say, Microsoft Office.
OK, they need that.
What can you contribute?
Well, maybe you're pretty good at Excel,
so you can contribute your skills in Excel to them.
And why do you want this opportunity?
Now that is the one thing that's really
different between job search and internship search-- why?
You need to figure that out.
Going back to setting your goals,
why do you want this opportunity?
What's it going to do for you?
How is it going to help you in your future career?
In fact, a lot of applications for internships
are a little bit different in that they'll ask you
something along these lines.
Why do you want this opportunity?
What's it going to do for you?
And so you need to be able to articulate that.
So if you think up front about what your goals are, then
by the time you're applying and they're asking you,
why do you want this, you can say it with some ease
and have it flow right out of you.
Hey, I want this opportunity because it's
going to help me with XYZ, and that's
going to help me in my future career goals.
So think about that all through the process here.
Some of the things that they might want, the company,
is a certain level in college.
Like maybe they don't want anyone
below a sophomore level in college.
Typical internships, students are usually sophomore,
junior level.
Some freshmen get internships, and certainly some seniors
get internships.
It depends on your field.
But it's most common right in the middle area.
And a lot of employers want, you know,
what they consider at least a year of college
under the belt of their interns.
I think that's part of the reason.
They want you to show an interest in the field.
If you're not interested in aeronautics,
maybe Boeing isn't the right place for you.
If you're not interested in technology,
maybe Amazon isn't the right place for you.
They want you to be willing to learn,
because that's what internships really are about.
It's a learning experience.
It's-- yeah, it should be hands on, but what it boils down
to is it's learning outside the classroom, really.
They also want to know your motivation.
Going back to your goals, why do you want this?
What's your motivation for this?
They don't want people that are in there just
to waste a summer or their time.
They want people that are motivated.
Hey, I want this goal, so I'm going to do this.
So you need to be asking yourself,
is it a good fit for me?
Am I motivated in this area?
Am I interested in it?
Is the internships substantial?
You don't want an internship where all you're doing
is making copies.
I mean, that doesn't help anybody.
Well, it maybe helps the person who needs the copies,
but it's not really helping you.
The internship, like I said--
and I can't stress enough--
it should be a learning experience,
where you're learning more about your field,
more about the skills needed in your field.
And you need to think about-- again,
I keep going back to this goal setting,
but how is this experience going to contribute to your goals?
And if it's not, if it's kind of a sideline thing,
you need to ask yourself, why am I willing to do this sideline
thing?
Am I really not interested in my current path?
So do some self-reflection and think about these things.
OK, some additional tips--
don't wait too long.
Again, apply early.
All of your documents should be tailored to the position.
They should not be the same cookie cutter resume given out
to everybody.
Tailor them a little bit.
And don't just apply to one place.
Apply to several.
The old saying, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Follow the directions.
This is your first test.
If you don't follow the directions
and give them what they need, they probably won't even
look at your application.
And one thing that I highly recommend
is that you follow up.
If you apply for an internship and then forget about it,
you don't even follow up with finding out
if they had everything that they needed
or assuring them of your interest in it,
maybe they won't be that interested in you.
Going directly to the next point,
which is show excitement in your cover letters,
in interview situations.
Show that you're excited about this opportunity,
and this is something that you think
will help you with your goals, as well as
a learning experience for you.
OK, few more things--
application documents.
They're not-- they're your advertisement
to get the interview.
They're your foot in the door.
They are not your biography.
You don't need to tell them every single thing you've ever
done.
It's not your biography, and it should
be tailored to each position.
If your resume and cover letter get you
in the door for an interview, they've done their job.
But you don't need to tell them everything, just
your skills and experiences that are relevant to the position.
And keep in mind too that internships
are learning experiences.
So you don't have to have all the skills necessary to be
in a career position yet.
That's why you're doing an internship.
But it's giving you some of those experiences
you will need to apply for those career positions.
So don't be too worried if you don't have everything
that they're looking for, because they'll teach you.
They'll teach you a lot of that stuff.
It should be relevant though.
You don't need to tell them about your interest
in hiking the backwoods if the position
has nothing to do with hiking in the backwoods.
Yeah, it's interesting.
I like hiking in the backwoods, but is it relevant?
You need to think about that.
And it should be just a summary of your relevant skills
and experiences that are applicable to the job.
Remember how I said to highlight the key words in the job
description?
Those are the things you need to talk about in your application.
So you got the internship.
Congratulations.
How are you going to be successful at it?
Number one, always be professional.
Always put yourself across as professional.
Does that mean be, you know, really like a stuffed shirt?
No, not necessarily.
Have fun with it, but, you know, know
what's appropriate in the right circumstances.
Avoid all those inappropriate jokes and things like that.
Always be professional.
Dress appropriately.
The whole bit.
And I'm going back to the goals again.
Set goals for internship.
Set them with your supervisor.
Together, set the goals.
OK, what do you want to get out of this?
And how are you going to get there?
And oh, I should have learn as number one.
That is the main thing that you're there for,
is just learn.
Soak it all in.
Try to always be positive and enthusiastic.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you.
What you do with it's kind up to you,
but if you have that positive attitude, it goes a long ways.
If you can, find a mentor if one is not assigned for you
at the internship.
I mean, someone maybe besides your supervisor.
It could be your supervisor who ends up being your mentor,
but if you could get a mentor in the same field, that's
fantastic too because that mentor can take time
to sit down and talk to you about,
hey, this is where you need to work on,
different things like that.
And it could be the supervisor, but it
could be someone else as well.
This is a great opportunity to develop
your professional network.
Remember how I talked about talking with all those people
when you're exploring, finding an internship?
But here you can expand it by finding
people that are actually in your field, who are professionals
in your field that you can add to your professional network.
And it's just going to help you in the long term.
And another thing that people don't think about,
reflect often, like at least once a week.
Maybe get a notebook where you think about, OK,
so what have I learned?
What do I wish I was learning?
Am I making steps towards the goals that I set?
Do those actual reflections.
Sometimes if you're doing an internship for credit,
they might require a reflection paper at the end.
So it would serve you well to maybe keep little notes
all during the internship of pluses, minuses,
ways to improve things.
Any sort of notes that you can think about might be useful.
And in the long term too, you can think about, OK,
so I learned X, Y, and Z at this internship,
but I still need to learn a little bit more
about A, B, and C. So all of those things
could be useful for you in the long term.
OK, time for questions.
SPEAKER 1: Hi, Leanne.
We do have a few questions.
One asks, do you know how to contact or find
Washington state internships?
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
LEANNE RALSTIN: Yeah, offhand I couldn't tell you the website.
But I think if you just did a Google search
and just look for state of Washington,
not just Washington, but state of Washington jobs,
you'd probably be able to find it I would think.
And I'm sorry I don't know that website off the top of my head.
SPEAKER 1: And our next question asks, I'm
currently in an internship placement
course for spring 2018.
It sounds like I have a late start only being
one semester ahead of time.
Do you have any tips for this person?
LEANNE RALSTIN: What's your major?
SPEAKER 1: They're human development.
LEANNE RALSTIN: Human development, OK.
Well again, I would go back to the goal setting.
What do you want out of it?
What do you need?
And evaluate that.
And where do you need to be?
And just start setting those goals for yourself,
and think about where you'd like the internship.
And then maybe start making some initial contacts
with that organization.
Do you know where you would like to be?
Maybe start there.
SPEAKER 1: Thanks, Leanne.
And our next question asks, what are the best ways
to stand out from other applicants
when applying to a large company?
LEANNE RALSTIN: Follow the directions, for one.
Show enthusiasm, for another one.
And your documents should be as professional as possible.
You have resources, myself as well as the Global Campus
career advisor, Chris.
Is Chris his name?
SPEAKER 1: Yes, Chris Miller is the dedicated Global Campus
career advisor.
LEANNE RALSTIN: Yeah, and, you know,
your resources, like us, are here
to help you polish those resumes,
look over your applications, make
sure you don't have silly misspellings
or things like that.
We can be a second pair of eyes for you.
Professional documents would make
you stand out as well, and giving them what they want.
If they want a one page paper saying
why you want this internship, give them
a one page paper about why you want the internship.
Don't give them half a page.
Don't give them three pages.
Give them what they ask for.
Following directions is huge.
And that enthusiasm, again.
SPEAKER 1: Thanks, Leanne.
And the next question asks, do you know of any--
of any other internships sites offering online internships?
LEANNE RALSTIN: Online internships--
SPEAKER 1: That may end up being more of a question for Chris.
I can put his email in the chat box.
LEANNE RALSTIN: You can certainly--
it seems that I saw something recently.
And it seems like I saw it in handshake.
What was I looking at today?
You might check Handshake, you know the WSU Handshake
that you can access through the ASCC WSU website.
Look in there.
There might be opportunities for online there.
It depends on what you want to do.
I know the online internships are maybe not as common,
but, you know, Chris might have a handle on more opportunities
since he's online.
SPEAKER 1: Thanks, Leanne.
And if anyone else has--
oh, never mind.
I just saw the question from Allison.
She asks, is there a good place to find
international internships?
LEANNE RALSTIN: Oh, international internships,
that's a whole other consideration.
Yes, there's quite a few out there.
And there's a lot of different companies that sponsor--
you know, they're acquainted with study abroad.
They also have internships.
Again, it depends on where you want to go.
Let's say you want to go to Ireland.
What kind of opportunities are available in Ireland or Italy
or wherever it is that you want to go?
One thing to consider is if you're
an international student, you probably
won't get paid because of visa regulations.
So if you're looking for an internship
where you need to be paid, stay in the states.
But if that doesn't matter.
If you want to go abroad to do an internship,
there's tons of opportunities.
I would get in touch with the study abroad office right here
at WSU.
And they could point you in the area of a lot
of different resources.
We just had a study abroad--
or not study abroad.
I forget with they called it.
Global Learning fair, where a lot
of these different companies that sponsor these trips
were there.
And I talked to probably six or eight of them
that told me about these fantastic internship
opportunities abroad.
They're not cheap, and you usually do them for credit.
But you want to double check with your academic adviser
to make sure those credits can apply to your major.
And if they don't, you know, you can still go,
but yeah, it just depends on what you want,
where you want to go.
But there's lots of opportunities out there.
Just get a hold of the study abroad office here.
SPEAKER 1: Thanks, Leanne.
Our next question from Emily asks,
should you still apply for internships
if you do not reach all the requirements, such as the GPA
requirement?
LEANNE RALSTIN: You know, that might be a question
that you ask the company.
It depends upon the company.
Some companies are pretty big on the GPA.
For instance, some of the more competitive internships,
like Boeing for instance, they're
pretty stuck on their minimum GPA.
But there's others, they don't care as much.
It just depends upon your field and what you want to do
and where you want to do it.
That GPA, if it's really close, they
might make an exception if you have
other experiences that they like and you
show a lot of enthusiasm.
But if it's significantly different
than their minimum GPA, I don't know how far you'll get.
But what you could do is make an initial contact
with the company and ask them how much weight
they put on the GPA.
And if they act like it's not all that big of a deal,
then you'll know it's OK.
But if they're like, no, that's our first line of elimination
for candidates, then that might not be the place for you.
So it just depends.

Celebrity New : University in Pakistan offers free education for transgender students - Duration: 3:16.
University in Pakistan offers free education for transgender students
A university in Pakistan has offered to give free education to transgender people. The Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) is a public research university, based in the capital Islamabad.
It was the first open university in Asia and one of the largest higher learning institutions in the world. School – but at a distance (Creative Commons).
The institution announced this week that it will offer transgender people free education in any subject, be it PhDs or more vocational courses, DawnNews reports.
AIOU Vice-Chancellor Shahid Siddiqui told DawnNews: There are a lot of stigmas in our society due to which [transgender people] are shunned by society. By offering them free education and training, we hope to make them a part of mainstream society.
As with other students, the courses will be distance-based. Applications have apparently already been received from transgender candidates.
Pakistan has granted some citizens gender neutral passports and trans people were included in this years census, but members of the community have often been the victims of violent crime there.
In August 2017, a transgender person was been shot dead after a gang of armed men opened fire on a group of trans people in Karachi.
In 2016, a transgender woman was shot after refusing to have sex with her attackers following a break-in. Months later, trans rights activist Didar was shot in the hand in an incident in Peshawar.
Transgender woman Waqar Ali and trans advocate Sheraz Zaka petitioned Lahore High Court for better treatment of members of the transgender community.
And the governments National Council for Social Welfare called for the rights of transgender people to be re-assessed following the multiple acts violence. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill was introduced to the lower house in Pakistans parliament earlier this year.

WarriorLeadership: Asking for Help - Duration: 7:09.
Good morning Leaders, what's up?
My name is Kevin
I'm not Tony Robbins
I'm not here to give you some POWERFUL Wednesday motivation..
My goal today..
Is to give you some value FOR YOU as a Leader
and some extra learning for myself that I could take and I hope you could take into your life
and ONTO YOUR VISION
Welcome to my apartment building
It's a little messy in here.. I didn' get a chance to clean it up yet
and.....yeah
I'm just enjoying the air right now
and what I want to give to you today
is some value on
why asking for help
is a POWERFUL idea for you
today I'm going to break it down for you
in a couple minutes that I got with you here
is why, asking for help - IS A GOOD idea
how to DELEGATE
Understanding that they might say NO
and it's... okay
(cough)
so this is my FIRST time doing this social media video
I'm feeling very vulnerable
and a little scared right now..
cause you guys can see me
and scared of being judged
but you know what?
I don't care. I'm here to live my mission
and
I'm going to take some time
out of my own day
to HELP YOU
so show me some support
First Step: Why is asking for help a great idea?
It's not only a great idea
It's a POWERFUL idea
I realized. I can't do it on my own.
For myself as a guy.. As a man
I expect to carry 30 000 pounds of weight..
All by MYSELF
And when I'm burnt out and heavy
and my backs broken
I realized.. damn
I can't lift all this on my own
But when I look behind me
There's no one there right now..
but I have a TEAM
of people that care about me.
People that
LOVE the vision
People that are on my team
and I can ask them to carry some of this weight
take it off my back
and hold it for me
cause whether you
want to be a BURNTOUT person
TIRED
MISERABLE
Remember: You have Leaders behind you..
they look up to you
and they look up to me.
to LEAD the way
ARE YOU THERE: TO LEAD THAT VISION? OR NOT
Delegate
How to Delegate!
It all comes down
to two words..
or a couple
maybe three or four..
and it is..
I NEED YOU
These three simple words
can
mean many different things to
different people
But what it means to me?
Is.. I need you
I need..
...You to help me.
It's my own needs
My own want
For this other person to help me out!
Let me just give you a quick example
of what I'm talking about.
because I'm getting confused in my head too.. :P
when I say: I need you.
It shows that I care.
I'm relying on you
I'm asking for what I want
and so... If I have a huge team
and we're working on a big project
and we're going to organize
a MASSIVE event
don't expect for me to BARTEND
do all the social media
don't expect me
to do all the MARKETING
all by myself
just on ONE person
imagine all that weight
on your shoulder.. on my shoulder
weighing YOU down!!
so what I could do.
Is that.. I'll talk to my team about it
and tell them.. HEY
"I need you to send out these e-mails for me man.."
I can't do it on my own.
That simple ask and being VULNERABLE
Asking for that help
Is powerful.
and it feels great, getting a little bit of that weight
off of my own shoulders
so by using those words: I need you
It's not being bossy
It's not being demanding
It's just the same level playing field
That you need that person..
to do something for you
The third part that I wanted to talk to you about
Is understanding that they might say no.
Asking for help is pretty vulnerable
..and kinda scary (for me)
When I ask for some help
The thought pattern that I have in my own head
Is that OH, I'm not strong enough
as a guy to do it all
I get it.
That's just the story in my head
But when I understand
That the person just might say NO
Things don't always go my way
As a Leader? That's hard
If they're busy
If they have so much on their plate
That they just can't do it for you
and.. Can't do it for me
I get it
It's all good
I totally understand
and that's the part, where you just take it
and ask another person
Or if you need too.. ask someone to
Grab one end of it and you grab the other (construction worker analogy)
and you guys could both do it together
right there.. and right now
So in SUMMARY
What I talked to you about in these 6-7 minutes.
(cough)
Is why asking for help is a great idea
How to Delegate: by using the words
"I need you"
and to understand
as vulnerable as it is?
It's so powerful
because if they say NO
It's alright
It's not the end of the day/world
I hope you can take these
steps as a LEADER
Living your vision
To ask for some help today..
I see people carrying
everything on their own
when I work on the construction site
these guys are just lifting heavy weight
and they're hurting themselves (I do it too)
I invite you to let go of that MACHO-ness
and just be OPEN.
These are my tips for today!
I hope you can take some value out of it
I'm feeling cold because my windows open
So, I'll talk to you guys later
Hit LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE
It was nice chatting with you
Peace

New app lets you live the yacht life for as little as $120 a day - Duration: 3:45.
New app lets you live the yacht life for as little as $120 a day
Yachting the French Riviera carries connotations of Champagne-fueled deck parties, zipping around the turquoise sea on jet skis, and having a crew to spray your sun-dappled face with Evian mist-all for the bare-minimum price of US$10,000 per week.
Until now, those without five- and six-figure budgets have had a hard time living the yacht life. Either you "know a guy" who can rent you a boat for the day, or you go through official channels with a charter agency.
A few hours on a small catamaran in Cannes? It can run upward of US$1,000 after rounds of contract negotiations, commissions, and carbon-copied forms.
Or you can bypass the system and live out your booze-fuelled seafaring dreams for a mere US$117 per day. That's the promise behind Float, a disruptor that launched in June in Monaco and St. Tropez-and that's quickly expanding to other major seafaring markets.
Think of it a bit like Airbnb. The accommodation site lets you rent a room in an apartment or the full apartment, depending on how much you'd like to splurge or save.
So does Float: It lets you book just one "seat" if you don't have seven friends to defray the cost of a yacht charter, or you can gather a group of friends and buy out a sleek little cruiser.
Take the former approach, though, and you may end up making new friends when you drop anchor for a swim.
"We're more like NetJets than a water taxi," said Float co-founder Jean-Jacques Boude, drawing a comparison between his startup and the Berkshire Hathaway-owned pioneer for fractional private jet ownership, which took a hit during the recession but is stable and growing after 53 years of operation.
Airbnb and Uber have also inspired his approach. "We sell day charters by the seat or by the cabins for a few days on board, all through a fully digital app," he said.
(The model compares best to NetJets' jet card program, which lets you buy "flight hours" on an a la carte basis.). Indeed, the service is more experiential than a water taxi.
Though Float will shuttle you to a buzzy beach club in Pampelonne or La Mala for the day, the appeal is more about being on the water than getting from Point A to Point B.
You sail, you clink glasses, you swim in the Med; maybe you go fishing or take out some jet skis. Eventually you make your way to the destination port for a few hours before returning to the place where you started.
Booking takes two to three minutes: You sign up on the app or website, pick your origin and destination, select the number of seats you want to book, and input your credit card.
Moments later a boarding pass is sent to your Apple Wallet. No contracts, no surcharges, and no hidden costs. That's a distinguishing factor, said Boude, noting that traditional charter companies add fuel and food charges during rounds of contract negotiations.
Ruinart Champagne and canapés are included, as well as a full crew. A concierge service can book dinner at the hot new restaurant of your choice or help you bring a DJ on board for private dance parties.
But Float is still a small company, and its fleet follows suit. These aren't megayachts in the vein of Azzam, the record-setting 591-footer owned by the Emir of Abu Dhabi.
Currently, Float's two vessels are of much humbler proportions, one 49 feet (15 metres), the other 59 feet (18 metres). It is investing in larger motor yachts as it readies to launch in other global destinations.
If all goes according to plan, Boude said, Float will be operating three ships in Miami by November and in Ibiza, Mykonos, and Corfu by next year.
He also expects to secure at least one 104-foot superyacht offering overnight trips from Miami to the Bimini islands for US$1,000 per person per night.
Float is built on the principle of dynamic pricing: If demand is high, the rates might climb; Boude expects prices to max out at US$235.
The price point does imply certain limitations. The hot food is pre-made and heated by a basic onboard crew, not made to order by a private chef. Adding experiences like jet skiing or fishing is extra.
"Most of our clients, about 90 per cent, never eat on board anyway-they go to restaurants instead," Boude said, noting that the service has been popular with Formula One drivers such as Max Verstappen.
What remains to be seen is the size of Float's margins, which may be the point of scrutiny as the startup enters its second round of funding.
"This is a demanding business in terms of cash flow-we may be doing fundraising every three months," Boude joked. But "for people who have never been on a yacht or could never afford it, it will allow them to do that.".

on them and go to your website you want to avoid any services that offer paid
Pinterest followers while this adds the number of followers to your profile it
doesn't add any value because you're not adding any real users so these followers

legitimately so you can reap the rewards of real repend real comments and real
traffic to your website let's talk about some strategies to help you get more
Pinterest followers pin lots of content the more you pin the more people will
see your profile sharing content in the Pinterest newsfeed increasing your
Pinterest presence when people see your profile they can repin your content and
they can follow you the other thing to note when you pin lots of content is
that Pinterest will recommend you to other people pinning similar content
increasing your visibility on Pinterest the main idea behind this strategy is to
focus on creating and sharing quality content that is worthy of being
pind quality content that is focused on helping your audience solve their
problems different types of content you can share include infographics images
articles YouTube videos how-to tutorial podcasts you want to create lots of
quality content you want to pin readily and repin other people's content
regularly use promoted pins when you're just getting started with Pinterest one
of the fastest legitimate ways of increasing the reach of your pins is to
use Pinterest advertising by promoting your pins you are able to put your pins
in front of targeted people who may not have seen it otherwise once you've
promoted some pins you begin to see more followers and interaction on your pins
think of it as a jumpstart to building your profile Pinterest advertising works
even if you have a small budget like most social media advertising platforms
you have the option of paying per click for your advertising so you only pay
when people click or interact with your pen or paper engagements that means
paying for when people repin or interact with your pin on Pinterest you can also
set daily budgets to suit you and you can stop the ads whenever you want if
the ads are not performing well I recommend you run Pinterest advertising
after you've set up all of your boards and pinned all of your own content at
the very least you want to have a full profile before you start running any
advertising you also want to make sure that your website is optimized properly
for mobile devices due to the fact that most Pinterest users access Pinterest
via mobile device so you don't want to drive traffic to your website only to
have it not appear or function properly on mobile creating a bad user experience
and potentially wasting advertising dollars
make sure you optimize your Pinterest boards and pins when you're creating
your boards and writing the description for your pins ensuring that you
incorporate keywords is important google quickly indexes pages from websites with
heavy traffic your pins could show up in the top search results
if your account is properly optimized you want to find keywords that your
audience is searching for and create balls and content around that you can
find these keywords using the Google Keyword planner the Google Keyword
planner will help you find the search volume for keywords as well as give you
different keyword ideas as well you should also check out what's popular on
Pinterest this is a section provided directly by Pinterest that will give you
some ideas on what topics to create your content based on what is trending and

Pinterest widget to your sidebar if you have one and a Pinterest plug-in such as
the Pinterest pin a button to make it easy for users to pin your content to
their Pinterest boards join collaborative boards a quick way to
attract new followers and get your content shared is to contribute to a
popular group board Gribble's are boards that allow multiple
Pinterest users to pin their content to the boards when you join a group board

to repin your content and become your followers as well group boards are also
great places to start finding and establishing relationships with other
board owners and contributors you can search for Pinterest group boards
relating to your niche from the Pinterest search bar I've searched
social media group boards and from the results I would click on boards here I
