This episode features Anne McGeorge, Board Member and Audit Committee Chair at Nimbus Therapeutics, and Amber Walsh, National Chair at the McGuireWoods Healthcare Practice. Here, they discuss how women successfully balance their personal life and professional careers.

Laura Hughes is a part-time traveler and full-time creative, seeking inspiration on the road and through the voices of others.She's the host and co-producer of the Women On The Road podcast, and she's also an outdoor retreat and excursion photographer, which means you'd be hard-pressed to find her without either a camera or an audio recorder in hand at any given moment. When Laura's not traveling in her self-converted camper van, you'll find her happy in Moab, Utah.In this episode, Laura goes into detail about what her life on the road is really like. She talks about her decision to pursue full-time travel, what it was like to build out a van with her former partner, as well the split from that partner that lead her to build her own van and set out solo on the road.I'm going through some similar transition in my own life, and I'm in the beginning stages of building a van myself, so of course I loved talking with Laura. But even if you aren't into van life or long-term travel, so much of what she says about fear, being a beginner, starting where you are, and being brave will surely resonate. (more…)]]>

The purpose of this research is to determine the relations between high school students' life satisfaction, burnout, work engagement and hopelessness scores and examine the contribution of their burnout, work engagement and hopelessness scores in the prediction of their life satisfaction scores. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Maslach Burnout Inventory--Student Survey (MBI-SS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale--Student Survey (UWES-SS), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and "Personal Information Form", has been applied on a total of 461 students, 225 (%48.8) of them being girl students and 236 (%51.2) of them being male students, who were continuing the 12th grade in varying high school classes during the 2011-2012 school year within the provincial boundaries of the Mersin Municipality and had voluntarily accepted to participate in the research. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis have been used in the analysis of the data. It is observed as a result of the analyses that high school students' life satisfaction scores have a negative relation with exhaustion, cynicism, efficacy and hopelessness scores; on the other hand, these have a positive relation with vigor, dedication and absorption scores. Also it has been observed that life satisfaction scores only predict hopelessness, absorption and efficacy in a meaningful way.

“The Model T was not a car as we know them now – it was a person – crotchety and mean, frolicsome and full of jokes – just when you were ready to kill yourself, it would run five miles with no gasoline whatsoever.. I understood IT but as I said before, IT understood me: It magnified some of my faults, corrected others. It worked on the sin of impatience; it destroyed the sin of vanity. And it helped to establish an almost Oriental philosophy of acceptance.” So were the words of American author John Steinbeck, published in 1953 in the Ford News about the passing of the Model T as the end of American innocence. Henry Ford, founder, engineer, and leader of Ford Motor Company, had brought not only America the notion of an affordable, practical means of motorized transport, but the entire world. He embodied much of what America strove to be in the 19th and early parts of the 20th century – independent, forthright, and self made. His company, like his cars, became showpieces of the American middle class, offering an alternative to vast income disparities and luxury goods for the few with concepts such as the $5 work day and simple, low priced vehicles his own workers could afford. As Henry Ford neared the end of his life in 1947, however, he saw an America much changed from his youthful days as a farm boy, with the vast centralization of power brought about by two world wars, and a technocratic elite coming to dominate society from within institutions like the major corporations that he in part helped create. — Timeline — 1863 – Henry Ford is born in a small Michigan farm to English and Belgian immigrants, the oldest of five children. 1876-1879 – Henry becomes a budding young mechanic, teaching himself how to draw rudimentary blueprints and disassemble watches and tools. 1879 – Henry moves just outside of Detroit to live with his Aunt, gaining early skills as a machinist/mechanic and engineer. 1884 – Henry, now a man, enrolls at Goldsmith, Bryant & Stratton Business University in Detroit. 1888 – Clara Jane Bryant becomes the wife of Henry Ford, and they remain together until Henry’s death in 1947. 1894 – Henry becomes the Chief Engineer of the Edison Illuminating Company and a top protege of Thomas Edison. 1896 – The Quadricycle, Ford’s first motorized vehicle, is driven throughout the streets of Detroit. 1899-1901 – Ford founds the Detroit Automobile Company, later abandoning it as the company’s sales fail to achieve investor expectations. Later in 1901, Ford builds a race car that competes, and finds victory, in Michigan’s first major automobile race. The Henry Ford Company is founded with Henry as the chief engineer, but is then forced out of the company by investors. 1903 – The Ford Motor Company is successfully founded with Henry Ford occupying two roles of chief engineer and vice president. 1907 – Ford manufactures his first tractor, marking the company’s first major step in developing the rural/farm worker market. 1908 – Highland Park is developed by Albert Kahn and marks the largest factory in operation up to that point. 1908 – The Model T, a landmark vehicle and product in American manufacturing history, is released to the public. The car would later go on to sell 15 million units. 1911 – Ford defeats the Selden Patent, an obscure 1879 patent that was holding back the American automobile industry. 1914 – Henry Ford makes several landmark moves by perfecting the assembly line production model, utilizing a series of process engineering and administrative breakthroughs, as well as doubling worker’s pay to $5.00 an hour and ensuring a full two-day weekend for all laborers. 1918 – Henry Ford runs for Senator of Michigan, although loses the election by 4500 votes. 1919 – Henry and Edsel Ford, hatching a takeover plot to oust the Dodge Brothers and other investors, finally privatize the Ford Motor Company. 1925 – After expanding into hotels, tractors, naval vessels, and automobiles, Henry Ford develops an aviation unit and rapidly becomes one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer. 1927 – Ford introduces the Model A and begins phasing out the Model T. 1932 – Ford releases the new V8-Engine model, and faces down the infamous Hunger March by Ford company laborers. 1943 – After shifting in and out of various positions with the company, Henry Ford once again assumes control of the Ford Motor Company. 1947 – Henry Ford passes away in the middle of the night, resting on the shoulder of his wife Clara. — References — – The Wealth of Nations, Smith (1776) – The History of the Standard Oil Company, Tarbell (1904) – Principles of Scientific Management, Taylor (1911) – The International Jew, The Dearborn Independent (1920) – Prussianism and Socialism, Spengler (1920) – My Life and Work, Ford (1922) – The Hind Tit, Andrew Lytle (1931) – http://writing2.richmond.edu/jessid/eng423/restricted/lytle.pdf – Henry Ford and his Peace Ship, Hill (1958) – http://www.americanheritage.com/content/henry-ford-and-his-peace-ship – Henry Ford: The Road to Happiness, PBA Nova (1978) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaDprRfAYzg – The Ford Foundation and the CIA, Petras (2002) – https://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/PET209A.html – The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S.

In this ten-lecture course, Jörg Guido Hülsmann explains how Ludwig von Mises's life took dramatic turns, what contributions Mises made to the social sciences, and how Mises never gave up and never gave in. Presented at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Auburn, Alabama, July 23-28, 2007. http://mises.org Playlist link for complete course: http://tinyurl.com/y8fq2gdd Jörg Guido Hülsmann is senior fellow of the Mises Institute where he holds the 2018 Peterson-Luddy Chair and was director of research for Mises Fellows in residence 1999-2004. He is author of Mises: The Last Knight of Liberalism and The Ethics of Money Production. He teaches in France, at Université d'Angers. * * * * * Ludwig von Mises was the acknowledged leader of the Austrian School of economic thought, a prodigious originator in economic theory, and a prolific author. Mises's writings and lectures encompassed economic theory, history, epistemology, government, and political philosophy. His contributions to economic theory include important clarifications on the quantity theory of money, the theory of the trade cycle, the integration of monetary theory with economic theory in general, and a demonstration that socialism must fail because it cannot solve the problem of economic calculation. Mises was the first scholar to recognize that economics is part of a larger science in human action, a science that Mises called "praxeology."
