Apply for an educational course, and you find yourself bombarded with promotional literature. Here’s the future you: suited, booted and smug. What they’re doing – the gym guy and the marketing department – is highlighting end results. They’re hoping to lure you in by showing you what you could achieve, what you can become. A new study by a pair of researchers at the University of Chicago and the Korea Business School shows that this approach has some benefits. Ayelet Fishbach and Jinhee Choi started out by recruiting over a hundred students at a university gym, just as they were about to start a session. Describing the goals of working out boosted the students’ intentions to exercise. Staying focused on our goals detracts from the inherent pleasures of the activities we need to pursue to achieve those goals.

Getting Others Mad May Be a Winning Strategy "Don't get mad, get even," may not be the best advice in all competitive endeavors. In fact, anger can sometimes help people win, new research suggests. When people are made to feel angry in a game of strength, they tend to perform better. "You shouldn't look at emotions as something irrational," said study researcher Uri Gneezy, a behavioral economist at the University of California, San Diego and authoer of the book "The Why Axis: Hidden Motives and the Undiscovered Economics of Everyday Life" (PublicAffairs 2013).

DOEA Long Term Care Ombudsman Program Ombudsmen Persist in Efforts to Bring About Positive Change for Florida’s Long-Term Care Facility Residents By Jim Crochet State Long-Term Care Ombudsman I wish to bring to your attention inaccurate information that has been floating around regarding the operation of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program and the work of the program’s 300 plus volunteers. Some of you may be aware of two recent opinion pieces run in the Treasure Coast (TC) Palm titled “Families Feel Powerless Against Elder Abuse” and “Our Seniors are at Even Greater Risk.” I would like to clarify some information written in these opinion pieces. The duties, responsibilities, and advocacy work of the program has not changed. It would be a shame if that fine work was stained by inaccurate information in an attempt to derail our program. There are over 168,000 beds in Florida’s long-term care facilities with residents served by countless donated hours of our selfless volunteer ombudsmen. And the year is far from over.
