Hmm, that long car trip may not be looking so bad right now.This is aa 3.7% increase from brde years total. The report said to accomadate the increase in passengers they would add 116,000 seats per day.So why the increase? Well, fares are slated to stay low as we approach the summer season.John Heimlich, A4As Chief Economist, noted that as household net worth increases passengers are taking advantage of these lower airfares.

Professional Growth, or Equilibrium
Professional Growth, or Equilibrium Professional Growth, or Equilibrium BALANCING ACT/Image Michael MoffaBreathing Again vs. Breathing BetterImagine two very different recruiters Recruiter A is always on the go, striving to make progress, to do better today than yesterday, to set himself or herself challenges, records and goals that will push the perfassonance envelope, while filling the pay envelope, and to climb higher and faster, toward the ever-beckoning summit of (competitive) success.Recruiter B is altogether different, and perhaps everywhere rarer in geschftsleben circles. Bs only goal is to have no long-term goal other than to maintain an enjoyable status quo- no new records to be set, no harder challenges and tests to engage, no progress to be targeted. Instead, B likes things as they are, is satisfied with the status quo, and wants to conduct business the way his or her body conducts breathing- the same tomorrow as today, namely, smoothly and enjoyably, with no requiremen t that the job results or the breathing be better tomorrow than they are today or were yesterday. Stability, elend progress, is the overarching goal- a variant of early retirement.Considering Your Opposites StyleAs a result, recruiters A and B will have very different, contrasting notions of what constitutes job satisfaction, success, security, and meaningful work. What makes this important for you are the following questions and conjectures that follow later and one very intriguing fact The two styles are very similar to two physiological processes- homeostasis and heterostasisthat our own bodies use to keep us going and healthy.But first, the relevant questionsIf you are primarily a schriftart A recruiter, how did you end up choosing this as your preferred style? Same question for schrift B. (Here, type A is a broader concept than Type A, the popular categorization of time-stressed, goal-driven, short-fused, impatient go-getters, although it overlaps and includes it in many instan ces. In this context type A means a recruiter like the one referred to as recruiter A, above. The same applies for type B.)Have you ever considered switching from your habitual style to the contrasting style or at least giving it a try? If not, why not?What do you see as the costs and benefits of the two styles and the net gain/loss of the style you have adopted?Have there been any suggestions or indications that a style switch from type A to B, or vice versa, would be good/bad for you?How do you feel about the other style? Uneasy? Envious? Something else?Climbing Ladders vs. Skating on PondsThese are two ways of looking at and creating career goals and outcomes- ways that reflect two key physiological processes of life itself growth vs. equilibrium. The first- the vertical ladder approach- career goal/outcome and corresponding physiological process emphasize growth as an objective or outcome of paramount importance the second stresses equilibrium- maintaining a career or physiologi cal status quo, such as having static but stable client numbers or maintaining an optimal body temperature. Using body temperature as analogy, it could be argued that the ladder climber, type A needs the challenges that cause a rise in body temperature to a fever pitch, instead of maintenance tweaking to preserve the normal, basically unchanging stable temperature of 98.6 F.Are You Heterostatic A or Homeostatic B?Interestingly and arguably, these two styles approximately correspond to not only Type A and Type B personalities- the ladder climbers and pond skaters, respectively, but also to the two fundamental modes of existence, becoming vs. being and to two vital and contrasting physiological processes, mentioned above, known as heterostasis and homeostasis, a pair of concepts popularized by the researchers Hans Selye (the progenitor of stress science) and pioneering Harvard professor of physiology Walter Cannon, respectively.The aforementioned example of increasing body temperature , in the form of fever, as a response to an acute challenge, such as the flu, is a prime example of heterostasis, a process involving the activation of physiological defense through an adaptive departure from the normal stable state. In the domain of psychology, heterostasis, which is not yet in conventional dictionaries, has been derivatively defined as a tendency to seek new stimuli and challenges that will further growth (Raymond J. Corsini, Dictionary of Psychology, Routledge, 2001).Heterostasis is also manifested in having to run faster or longer to get the burn- ramping up the response to the challenge of maintaining fitness gains and rewards. By contrast, turning up your hypothalamus thermostat in the winter to maintain your body temperature or repeating familiar maintenance exercise routines with no new demands, no new levels of achievement exemplify homeostasis, the tendency to maintain normal physiological states by means of corrective physiological negative feedback- much as a household thermostat regulates and maintains room temperature.If your style and career goals/outcomes are growth-oriented, i.e., focused on becoming better and better, on advancement, on progress or on setting new and possibly harder challenges, on having evolving goals of advancement, you are in all likelihood a type A heterostatic ladder-climber who is not satisfied with mere endless equilibrium, and, as a result, will have priorities, rewards, stresses and perspectives that are completely different from the homeostatic pond-skater type B sitting next to you in your office.Health Risks in Overdoing a Good Thing?To the extent that there are correlations among having this heterostatic type A style, being a Type A personality (in the clinical sense of the time-stressed, impatient, short-tempered, controlling, competitive, etc., personality) and cardio-vascular disease, a type A or Type A recruiter may face heart-health issues related to this work and life style.However, it must be stressed that although various studies report significant positive correlations between low anger control and cardio-vascular disease or hypertension, critics argue that the correlations among all of the Type A traits are not so clear-cut. Hence, being future goal-oriented, a ladder-climbing heterostatic type or becoming oriented in and of themselves are not generally agreed-upon markers for heart-health risks or hypertension.What is also worthwhile to note is that to the extent that physiological heterostasis plays an important, albeit transient emergency role complementary to normal homeostasis, there may a question to rumliche lage to recruiters who psychologically have made heterostasis permanent, rather than temporary- e.g., in endless pursuit of higher levels of performance and achievement, as though gripped by a never-ending fever. That question is whether they have opted for a life style based on too much of a good thing, by making the heterostatic growth mode permanent, rather than occasional, and in so doing whether they have plunged themselves into something like a permanent crisis mode and exposed themselves to any risks.(Analogies between this question about being in a permanent heterostatic individual growth mode and debates about the wisdom of endless economic or population growth should be obvious.)If permanent, unceasing career heterostasis is an unhealthy aberration, it would be akin to making what should be a temporary physiologicalfight or flight response a permanent, rather than emergency posture in the office or at home- which, as I reported in Zebra Stress Management for Recruiters, demonstrably correlates with elevated health risks, such as hypertension, ulcers and cardio-vascular disease.Mixed Functions, Mixed TypesEven though the two pure types- heterostatic ladder climbers and homeostatic pond skaters- are easily sharply distinguished conceptually, in fact, these are not mutually exclusive in their operations and can therefore b e mixed in various proportions and aspects of your work, just as every organism blends them. For example, in a bout of the flu, temperature will advance to the level of a fever, in order to heterostatically fight off a virus- but only as long as necessary, i.e., temporarily, while heart rate may, as a result of homeostasis, remain unaltered.Hence, having a long-term homeostatic, equilibrium job base, e.g., with fixed and stable hours, that is supplemented with interspersed occasional heterostatic spurts of growth and moments of Type A behavior would perfectly parallel the behavior of a healthy body and its physiology.Career Ladders and Two Kinds of PondsRecruiter A wants to move vertically and climb ladders recruiter B wants to move horizontally and skate an unchanging pond that is large enough to be interesting.However, to the extent that both A and B can be described using a pond metaphor and as pond dwellers, recruiter A, the heterostatic Type A, becoming achiever, is much more l ikely to have bigger challenge hunger and strive to be some kind of fish (preferably a big one) in a big pond filled with very big (rival) fish, even if it means starting out and possibly indefinitely remaining a small fry. On the other hand, recruiter B, the homeostatic pond skater, looks forward to effortlessly gliding over a much smaller pond, in and over which he or she can, comparatively, enjoy being a reigning big fish or at least becoming one without nearly as much effort as would be required by emulating heterostatic recruiter A.When Your Job Mimics Your BodyJust as your bodys physiology will, when required, complement its normal homeostatic functioning, e.g.,, maintaining O2 levels, with emergency heterostatic activity, e.g., elevating your bodys temperatures, on the job, you may attempt to homeostatically maintain hours worked per week, i.e., endeavor to keep them constant, while heterostatically ratcheting up your income, your client numbers, your geographical range of op eration or your network size- thereby redefining new equilibria (stable equilibrium points or states) for yourself, from which to launch your next heterostatic advance when the need or urge arises.The disanalogy with heterostatic physiological processes is that some of the results of your efforts, e.g., a larger number of clients, unlike body temperature after a fever, do not fall back to earlier levels, but hopefully remain permanently elevated. However, what should taper off like body temperature and the processes that elevated them is the level of effort that was required to create those new achieved highs, even though some lesser effort may be required to maintain and sustain them. Hence, if the key work parameter is effort, then it should increase and subside just like body temperature during and after a case of flu. If it never does, then your efforts will have become permanently heterostatic- which represents an abnormal prolongation of that kind of process and activity.Heter ostatic Becoming vs. Homeostatic Being Einsteins ObservationViewed commonsensically and intuitively, it stands to reason that the type A, Type A ladder-climbing growth-oriented heterostatically-driven recruiter is also more likely to be becoming-focused, always with at least one eye on the future and progress, rather than being-focused, the latter designating a focus on the present and the goal of keeping it as pleasant as it has been, again, like maintaining ones breathing or blood pressure just as they are, when one is satisfied with them as they are.This is the distinction reflected in Albert Einsteins observation that Americans are much more preoccupied than Europeans are with becoming, at the expense of being (satisfied living in the now, in the moment). The type B, Type B, pond-skating, equilibrium-oriented, homeostatically-regulated recruiter is, in progress-preoccupied America, going to be harder to find.Unless, of course, all the type A recruiters switch, keel over or quit from stress or worse.

Increase Your Billable Hours While You Decrease the Stress
Increase Your Billable Hours While You Decrease the StressIncrease Your Billable Hours While You Decrease the StressLearning how to manage the expectations of billable hours and the stress they can bringmay seem like an insurmountable task. Fortunately, new law amtsstube technology and more efficient and comprehensive record-keeping tools can ensure you stay on track and even help you exceed your billable hours requirements.Maximize Billable Hours ExpectationsInvest in time-tracking technology. Consider how better tools could help increase your efficiency. For example, try using an app, such as iTimeKeep, that enables you to easily and accurately record billable hours on any device you choose, wherever you may be,as well as integrate that information intoyour firms billing and time-tracking systems. You can also invest in a legal practice management program that syncs with your calendar and to-do list, automatically recording the time spent on various tasks into your billable hours. Time-tracking software can also produce reports on the time youve spent on each matter so you can double-check your minutes.Promptly record your hours. Record everything - even tasks of short duration. You may not realize how many hours youll lose if you fail to record minor but billable tasks, such as drafting emails, having a short phone conversation with a client or doing some quick Internet research. All of those small dutiesyou spend a few minutes on each workday can really add up over the course of a year.Manage your email. A simple way to cut down on yperit time is to check your email less often. Email is an essential tool for any attorney, of course, and some of the time you spend on email correspondence is billable. However, by taking a more disciplined approach to managing your email for example, glancing at it less frequently and scheduling specific time slots tocheck for incoming messages you can actually save yourself a great deal of time.Also, you may want to turn o ff the alert that signals the arrival of new messages you dont want a distracting notification popping up on your screen when youre working on a billable task. Another tip Take your name off unnecessary email lists so you can cut down on messages you receive at your work address.Manage stress outside of workDont forget to set aside time for yourself, so you can maintain work-life balance. Reserve an hour each day to hit the gym or a few hours every week to have dinner with friends.Also, dont let your vacation days go to wastebecause youre concerned about falling behind at work.While you need to meet your annual quota of billable hours, its important totaketimeoff to recharge.Burning out will only increase your stress level and make your goals more difficult to achieve.Meeting billable hours requirements doesnt mean you have to get caught up in a seemingly endless cycle of staying at work late and coming into the office on weekends. Using law office technology to its best advantage, diligently recording all tasks you perform, and managing the time you devote to email during the workday are just three simple but effective ways to increase your billable hours while decreasing your stress.

Get a flu shot now for your benefit and your neighbors
Get a flu shot now for your benefit and your neighborsGet a flu shot now for your benefit and your neighborsIf you do nothing else the next few days, get a flu shot.The best time to get a flu shot is by the end of October, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises. Considering the severity of last years flu, it is especially important for everyone over age six months to be vaccinated. This includes pregnant women.Last years flu killed 80,000 people, the CDC reported, making it the fruchtwein lethal flu epidemic in decades. Also, about 710,000 people were hospitalized because of it.As of Oct. 6, 2018, 183 of those deaths were in children, the CDC reported. Additionally, there has already been one pediatric death this current flu season. And 80 percent of those children who died last year along with the recent pediatric death had not been vaccinated.You play an important role in stopping the spread of flu, not just to yourself but to others. As a doctor and public health professional who has treated many people with influenza, Ill explain why.Protecting yourself, protecting othersThe influenza vaccine has been shown to be one of the fruchtwein important preventive measures against the flu. Though the effectiveness of the vaccine can vary and last years rate was low, at about 40 percent this still meant that the flu vaccine reduced a persons overall risk of having to seek medical care at a doctors office for flu illness by 40 percent. Considering the seriousness of the illness, however, you need all the protection you can get.And the vaccine reduces the severity and potential complications of your illness if you do get the flu. A large study published in 2017 of patients hospitalized during the 2013-2014 flu season found that vaccinated adults were 52 to 79 percent less likely to die than unvaccinated patients. Put another way, a hospitalized flu patient who was unvaccinated was two to five times mora likely to die than someone who had been vaccin ated.Almost everyone can receive the flu vaccine. Exceptions include babies younger than six months and people who have serious reactions to the flu vaccine, like anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction.Some people get hives from eggs, but this is not considered a serious reaction. If you are one of these people, it is still OK for you to get a flu shot from standard providers. Even those who have a serious egg allergy can get the flu vaccine in a medical setting.Getting the vaccine is not just good for you but also for the larger community. About 70 percent of the population needs to receive the flu vaccine to ensure what we call herd immunity. That happens when a critical portion of a community is immunized against a contagious disease.When that occurs, most members of the community, including those who are not vaccinated, are protected against that disease because there is little opportunity for an outbreak. Even those who are not eligible for certain vaccines get some protectio n because the spread of contagious disease is contained. This can effectively stop the spread of disease in the community.You might even consider getting the vaccine to be a civic duty.Other things to knowWhile the vaccine has been shown to be one of the most important preventive measures against the flu, you can do other things, too. Wash your hands. If you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth or nose with your sleeve, not your hands. Avoid those who are ill. Stay home if you are sick.Antiviral medication can help you feel better if you contract the flu, but it must be started early in your illness, so call your health provider when symptoms begin.A new, higher-dose vaccine is available for the elderly. If you are 65 or older, ask your doctor about this. About 54 to 70 percent of hospitalizations for flu occur among people 65 and older. No matter which formulation you receive, it is essential to be vaccinated. Dont miss the opportunity to do so.Remember that getting the vaccine will n ot give you the flu. That is because vaccines today are made with killed viruses. A killed virus cannot infect anybody. If you hear someone say they came down with symptoms after receiving the vaccine, it could be because they had been exposed to flu before they were vaccinated.Even if you cant get to your doctor or pharmacy by the end of October, you should still get the flu vaccine. While the best immunity is conferred if you get the vaccine earlier, you will be protected.And remember, even if its not a perfect match, it can protect you and your loved ones from getting a potentially life-threatening, yet preventable, disease.Good advice Stay home if you have the flu. Better advice Get the flu vaccineEditors note This is an updated version of an article that originally was published Oct. 23, 2016.Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert, Commissioner of Health and Hospitals of Rockland County, Fellows Ambassador New York Academy of Medicine, Adjunct Professor in the Institute of Public Health , New York Medical College, Certified Physician Executive, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Columbia University Medical CenterThis article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.
