Clients who come to us feeling lonely, isolated, and depressed, often struggle because they are walled off from both their own feelings and from others in their lives. The key to helping these clients is to pay close attention to their relationship with you, the clinician, in real time - the "here-and-now." Using and then discussing video clips from his first session with Heather, a sad, lonely, and self-critical client who craves caring and attention,...

How many meeting minutes are wasted due to ineffective or untrained Chairs? Destructive arguments, poor attendee behaviour, lack of summarising and bad structure are the most common complaints people have given us as the result of poor chairing skills. Our research has shown that we can waste one day a month in unproductive meetings. Our research has shown that poor Chairing skills are one of the major factors. Causes can be: meetings starting late,...

From cutting tight curves to large sweeping curves, thin stock to thick timbers, bandsaws can handle it all. Equipped with the right blade, and correctly set up, a bandsaw offers amazing versatility. This class will provide you with the information you need to get the most out of your bandsaw, use it safely, and make it a go-to tool in your shop.

You can do a lot with a router table; from edge profiling to joinery. Thanks to the high rpm of a router motor, the cut quality is great, typically requiring very little sanding. This class will help you to get the most out of your router table, including safety tips, buying advice, maintenance suggestions and a variety of techniques for cutting dadoes, rabbets and more.

Go outside and find an outcrop-a roadcut, cliff face, or other site where rocks are exposed. These are ideal places for practicing field geology. Professor Cotter gives tips on safety, maps, tools, and techniques. A notebook and careful record-keeping are essential. Amateur geologists can make important discoveries, so field geology is your chance to advance knowledge while enjoying the outdoors.

This video is chapter 2 in my series on special relativity, and it covers spacetime diagrams, rotational and translational symmetry of both time and space, how certain transformations preserve distances (measured in terms of a reference like a meter or second), and so on.

Metamorphic rocks form under conditions halfway between those of sedimentary and igneous rocks. A good analogy is the process of glacier formation that turns snow into dense, interlocking crystals of ice. Focus on foliated metamorphic rocks, such as slate and gneiss, which have lineation patterns. Geologists can read these patterns to reconstruct ancient mountain ranges and plate boundaries.

This video is chapter 7 in my series on special relativity, and it covers the idea that some things AREN'T relative: there IS a sense of absolute length and absolute time, which can be agreed upon from all moving perspectives (as long as they're inertial reference frames).

Mining is one of the oldest applications of practical geology. Find out how metals are classified and how most are associated with igneous and metamorphic deposits. Some metals, like gold, can be mined in a pure-"native"-state that requires little processing. Discover how and where to go prospecting for gold, using the panning process perfected by the Forty-Niners in California.

With the technological development of sensors, feedback control, Bluetooth, and machine learning, we can now network not just computers, but "things" as well. Discover the enormous advantages this "Internet of Things" can provide-from health care to transportation to manufacturing-if we can adequately address the significant concerns regarding privacy and security.
