Marital mediation and marital counseling/therapy differ in their approaches. Marital mediation is more action-oriented, focused on the present and future, and aims to build on strengths to find agreements. It deals with concrete issues like finances, parenting, and communication. Marital therapy explores feelings and the past to understand problems and improve mental health and the relationship. Therapists may diagnose issues while mediators contain their inquiry. Both can help improve communication skills but mediation is generally shorter term while therapy provides deeper psychological analysis.
The document discusses marital mediation, which is a new application of mediation to help couples stay married rather than divorce. It describes how the author got started in marital mediation and explores key questions around what marital mediation is, how it is different from marital counseling, and techniques mediators can use to help couples communicate effectively and solve problems in their marriage.
Mediation to Stay Married is an alternative approach to help struggling marriages that focuses on practical solutions rather than deep therapy. It uses mediation techniques like active listening and reframing to improve communication between spouses and help them move forward. Financial issues are a common cause of divorces, so a lawyer/mediator's expertise can help couples resolve disputes in a way a psychologist cannot. While it may overlap with counseling at times, mediation tends to be less deep and aims to develop agreements to strengthen the marriage.
The document discusses common issues that arise while driving with a spouse that can lead to marital conflict, and provides strategies for addressing them. It analyzes typical problems like disagreements over routes, backseat driving, tailgating and aggressive driving.

It concludes that addressing the underlying issues, communicating calmly, appreciating different perspectives, and making gestures of goodwill can help improve the marriage and make driving more pleasant.
Participants in speed dating events rated their dates on attractiveness, sincerity, intelligence, fun, ambition, and shared interests. Data analysis found that attractiveness was the top rated trait but other traits were also important. The model could predict dating outcomes with high accuracy when knowing how much the participant enjoyed the date. Physical attractiveness was overestimated in importance compared to sincerity. The study provided insights but was limited by only examining short interactions and not incorporating factors like lifestyle preferences.

What Really Caused the Housing Collapse of 2008Eric Kandell
The housing collapse and mortgage meltdown were caused by loose lending standards that allowed people to take out loans without verifying income, employment, or creditworthiness. Low interest rates fueled demand and further inflated home prices. Both borrowers and lenders were greedy, as many took out loans they couldn't repay in order to speculate on further home price appreciation. Risky subprime and option ARM loans, in particular, caused the most problems due to their volatile terms. In contrast, VA hybrid loans maintained stable underwriting standards and did not contribute to the crash.
Friendship is essential to human happiness. The quality of friendships, not the quantity, enhances well-being. Aristotle classified friendships into three categories: friendship of pleasure, friendship based on virtue, and friendship based on utility.

Understanding Soft Risk in Volunteer EngagementVolunteerMatch
Volunteer engagement often focuses on hard risks: accidents, past bad behavior, or access to confidential information. While these risks are real we often overlook the soft risks that also jeopardize the success and sustainability of volunteer engagement. This session will look at the soft risks associated with engaging volunteers including: “word of mouth” reputation, interactions on social media, lack of training being responsible for inaccurate information being given out, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers, the volunteer engagement program, and the organization up to risk. Attendees will learn to identify these soft risks in their own program through examples, modeled interactions, & learnings from the HR and for-profit sectors, and develop a plan to mitigate the effects on their organization. Attendees will leave with a Soft Risk worksheet as well as action plan for addressing soft risk in recruiting, screening and training volunteers.

Virtual report launch – Peace of mind: Understanding the non-financial benefi...ILC- UK
While previous research on the value of financial advice has tended to focus on the financial impact to the person, far less is known about whether there are any wider holistic benefits to receiving financial advice.
Building on our previous research on the financial value of advice, this report explores:
Whether there are non-financial benefits to taking advice;
Whether those who have not yet taken advice, perceive there to be non-financial benefits to taking advice;
Whether non-financial benefits differ amongst different sub-group groups including age, gender, or wealth; and,
What may be driving the non-financial benefits of advice.
Through educational workshops, companies can help employees gain valuable financial knowledge and reduce stress. Workshops covering topics like taxes, real estate, loans, health, financial planning, and estate planning can inspire employees and satisfy the ERISA 404c requirement for financial education. When companies provide these resources, it benefits both employees and reduces corporate risk by addressing compliance obligations and employees' needs.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
