Baby Business Coaching & Mentorship With Gayle Berry
Become the expert in your field and scale your business.
Book a day to get unstuck in your business, make it all feel easy, fall in love with your business again.
Learn how to create services you love and everyone else does too.
Stop the overwhelm and feeling burnt out by trying to balance it all.
Something you can't just buy is Gayle's energy. The best thing about Gayle Berry is just her!- Collette
It's time to reconnect to your why, create your vision for your business and start taking the steps to elevate and expand on every level.
When it comes to business, I believe love is the new currency and creativity has infinite possibilities and power.
The love for what you do as an entrepreneur creates energy in your business. Your business and lifestyle is a manifestation of what you create. You can create anything you want. It is really that simple.
The way you build, nurture and connect with your community matters first and foremost and is the way to scale, expand and create sustainability in your business. Love matters and creative energy is powerful.
It's time to change the focus from money to love, sales to service and systems to space.
Connect to your creative power and energy and make it all easy, fun and exciting again.
Stop thinking in straight lines and create space to explore the infinite possibilities for personal and professional growth (and have fun too!).
"Gayle's energy is infectious. When you work with her you feel anything is possible-Tara"
Why work with me?
My mantra is "Love creates love"
Love starts with investment into yourself and an understanding of who you are and what lights you up. When you love yourself more, you can then love others more. The love you give to others makes them feel connected, safe, accepted, validated and that they belong. This is the basis of all relationships, family and community. As humans, we are hard wired to connect and it makes us happy. When we all come together in the mindset of love, big things happen like social change and transformation. This is how you change the world, by starting with what you do.
I have grown and created my business with love and intuition over the last 17 years with no formal experience, led by my heart and my passion to make a difference in the world and to nurture others to be the best they can be. I believe anyone can achieve success if they connect with their passion, create and love what they do.
I started life as a project finance lawyer in London and have been working in the parent & baby wellness business sector for over 18 years. I have expanded Blossom & Berry to become a global leader in the mother and baby wellness industry reaching thousands of parents and babies every year. I always invest in myself as an entrepreneur. You cannot create without space, self reflection and inspiration. This is what I encourage you to do and what I provide when you work with me.
I would not have been able to do it without Gayle -Sandra
Some of my greatest love and creation moments over the last 18 years are;
Growing Blossom & Berry from a local business to having over 1000 teachers across the world.
Writing three books.
Creating my own product range.
Launching a sister site focusing on Spanish speakers and based in Mexico and creating branches of my business in Dubai, Italy and in Australia. I lead a team of seven with love.
Winning various awards including Highly Commended in Business Parent of the year for Mums and Working.
Creating and running global retreats.
Setting up my mother and baby health initiative charitable project in Malawi which provides mother and baby education and sustainable feeding programs for over 450 mothers and babies.
Running a bursary training scheme to impact vulnerable mums and babies across the world.
Setting up other charitable initiatives such as Love Creates Love voluntary groups and bursary schemes to support learners who have limitations to study.
Receiving the Points of Light Award from 10 Downing Street for my volunteering in Malawi and the UK.
As an expert mentor in the mother and baby space, I will;
Work with you to plan, launch or scale a new service, course, project easily and simply.
Help you look at your whole business and identify what serves you, what does not and what to focus on and remove.
Help you channel your creativity to inject energy into your business
Listen to you and help you get "unstuck"
Help you focus on what gives you joy in your life and business
Be honest and constructive feedback.
Be a sounding board for ideas and reflect back your greatness.
Help you with your decision making by suggesting alternatives based on personal experience but aligned with your intentions.
Provide contacts and networks to further your personal and business development.
Provide ongoing support and encouragement.
Stop the overwhelm, lack of clarity and feelings of never getting anywhere.
Share my knowledge and resources wherever I can to help you.
I can also direct you to other business experts and coaches which can help you expand your business and recommend training courses and providers to help expand your skills.

This offers annalists an additional level of analytic capability the ability to have multiple layers of information is a key requirement to the business intelligence process as organization and classification of data enables a greater understanding of unstructured data.
"Integration of Location (GIS) and standard BI platforms brings LI to greater usefulness by making it available as an option to anyone who is familiar with the more readily-available BI solutions, and without the need to master new concepts or a new user interface. Spatial relationships also greatly enhance many of the details commonly reported by BI systems, providing an added level of analysis that is useful in viewing and assessing trends (and existing data types)."

A recent research report – (sau) discusses locational intelligence, with advanced mapping capabilities presenting data can show geographical information in innovative and informing ways. Trends can be mapped and visualizations can reflect data down to street level, for customer trends and marketing this is a useful way to determine current customer movement and trends.
The ability to access information "on the move" has become a rapidly growing area of business intelligence, accessing dashboards, and scorecards keeping in contact with real-time information and information sharing has become of great importance to data driven companies. This area of business application development is a fast growing area of business information presentation. The simplification of dashboards is becoming increasingly important. The benefits of mobile business intelligence are significant and are confirmed In a TDWI best practices report – (MOB)
By deploying dashboards in the cloud making the dashboard or scorecard available to users immediately has also given application developers an efficient way to connect to and collaborate.

There are lots of rabbis out there, offering free advice. And a fresh perspective can be valuable. You know the problem with free advice: you usually get what you pay for.

Whether you are talking to angel investors or VCs, you deserve to have the insights you need. From pre-revenue to Series A and beyond, you don't have to figure it out all by yourself.

From angels to VC firms, and every round in between: entrepreneurs have to have a talent for storytelling. It's tough out there.

Dr Julian Lewis: The previous Secretary of State for Transport is now running Defence, where we are implementing major cuts in each of the armed services. Does this Secretary of State understand why those of us who are concerned about other areas of Government wonder whether these priorities are not rather perverse in the present economic situation?
[The Secretary of State for Transport (Justine Greening): I absolutely want to see the investment in our armed forces that we need for our country, but we also have to make sure that we look to the future for our transport system and the role that it plays in helping our economy to prosper, grow and create jobs. That is what today's announcement is all about.]

The Hand You're Dealt
Sometimes we find ourselves in an unpredictably difficult bind trying to figure out what move we are going to play next. We weigh the options in front of ourselves considering the possibilities, the ramifications and the consequences, but cannot predict the ultimate outcome. With our best poker face we navigate decisions – both simple and complex – that affect our lives and the people that we become. We understand that the game is played differently by every player, yet we seek the knowledge of those before us to create a frame of reference for our choices. Still, we must remember that an identical hand will unfold in a different manner every round depending on the other cards at the table.
When you are born you are handed a set of cards. It is up to you to decide when and how to play them. It is at the opportune time, at the opportune moment that you reveal the trick of the hand.
So, save the shiny card. Hold onto the Ace. Humbly keep your greatest asset to yourself as a quiet strength that grounds you and reassures you of the choices that you make. There will be times in your life when you want to reveal to the world the things that have made you successful in your own right, but wait… one thing that you will begin to recognize is that your life, your choices, and actions are a reflection of your confidence. Have the will to believe in yourself. When you hold the power, you chose your fate. But the minute you let that go…
The greatest poker players never reveal their hand. As the round finishes they quietly place their cards face down on the table, keep to themselves and remain collected. They might look back and wonder what would have happened had they played a different card. Sometimes they have regrets. We all do. The next time the same situation arises they consider it twice before folding prematurely. Even if it is an entirely different circumstance, the same hand will solicit a warning of a possible missed opportunity. Be aware of these moments. Just because something potentially was right in a certain context once-upon-a-time does not necessarily mean that the outcome will be the same. Be wary, yet optimistic. Skeptical and hopeful. Calculated and willing to risk. Have faith in your cards and faith in yourself. Have faith in the hand that you're dealt.

Resconstructed Pendants
These two pendants, one rutilated donut quartz and one clear quartz have been hanging on my neck for a few months now. Before this evening, they were hanging from two separate chains and these two chains kept getting tangled up. I solved this problem by combining the two pendants into one. The donut wrap on the rutilated quartz is based on a technique used by Iza (ya! Iza again....I am her no. 1 fan....:D), but I added the two small beads on top of the donut pendant so that it doesn't look too bare. Oh! before you go heading to her site for the tutorial, there is none. In fact, I am not sure how she wrapped her piece but the result looks similar......:). Thanks Iza....for your inspirations.

Why is shredding essential for Government and Public Sector organisations?
Safe and secure document and media disposal has become an essential part of data management for every business. For Government and Public Sector organisations it is even more crucial to ensure that sensitive data is properly disposed of and does not end up in the wrong hands.
Data breaches can be costly
New EU regulations affect every enterprise collecting and processing data and have introduced significant penalties for those who don't comply. This is creating a new environment of data protection that requires every organisation to be much more effective when it comes to securing data and ensuring that breaches don't occur during the process of disposal. Shredding plays an important role in ensuring that data breaches don't cause problems at this critical point.
High profile data loss should be avoided
Public trust in the Government and Public Sector organisations is very easy to shake and data loss from these sources would inevitably be high profile. So, it's crucial for such institutions to have reliable and secure data destruction in place where no risks are taken with the documents and/or media that contain information relevant to the public. On-site shredding is the ideal solution to this issue – nothing leaves the premises without being shredded first so there is no opportunity for data loss to occur.
Shredding is a cost effective option
Government and Public Sector organisations are under particular pressure to justify budgets and ensure that spending is cost effective. On-site shredding provides a streamlined solution to the requirement to safely dispose of documents and media that enables predictable budgeting and justifiable cost. Lockable bins are provided for shredding waste and these are collected and shredded on-site with no additional logistics costs to consider and only a singe provider involved.
The need to be greener is becoming more pressing
More environmentally friendly infrastructure is not only applicable to the private sector. Public sector organisations too need to find ways to be more environmentally responsible when it comes to the resources that are used. Shredding is a simple way to instantly upgrade green credentials, as this allows documents and paper to be recycled afterwards, reducing waste and providing the raw materials for a sustainable resource. For Government and Public Sector organisations looking to upgrade to a more environmentally sound document destruction policy that also guarantees standards of security, on-site shredding is the obvious choice.
Simplifying and streamlining
Internal processes and systems can be complex in any organisation and often particularly so in the Public Sector with its increased accountability and regulatory constraints. On-site shredding provides a way to simplify document destruction and removal and to streamline the workforce involved in making it happen. All that is required is the deposit of documents for shredding into lockable bins, which are then handed over for on-site shredding. The process is simple, fast and transparent at every stage.
If you'd like to find out more about how on-site shredding could be beneficial for your organisation please get in touch.

Some Los Angeles, CA residents find immediate pain relief after a single visit. However, many of the causes of pain are deeply rooted, enhanced by years of poor posture. The more you visit, the more likely our doctors can identify and work through the causes of chronic pain.
Can proper shoes or shoe inserts help my back and neck pain?
Yes. One of the most significant problems that we identify in Los Angeles, CA patients is poor posture. Wearing the proper shoes and orthotic inserts could help stabilize your spine and other joints. Orthotics are an excellent tool to help compensate for postural deficiencies.
Are there any items that are prohibited?
Some of the technology that we use is highly-sensitive, and you can not take specific things into the machines with you. Your doctor will make this clear to you when you begin treatment, however. Many Los Angeles, CA patients find it best to leave all distractions behind so that they can concentrate on finding relief from pain!
Am I Covered?
At Westwood Clinic, we accept personal injury cases, as well as most PPO insurances.
If you don't see your health insurance here, that doesn't mean we don't accept it. Please call us and we would be happy to verify your benefits.

For the second time now, the default blog template I created has disappeared from the Blog Templates list. This happened before and I cannot pinpoint any activity for why the setting went missing. Figured it was a fluke, but it just happened again.
I noticed that a new blog was created, using the default 2011 theme instead of the theme and widgets I set up in the site that I set as a default template.
Any idea why the default template would disappear from the list and no longer be applied? We've added no new plugins, and can't see any other reason why the setting no longer gets applied, all of a sudden. After I recreate the template, it does apply to new sites. But this is now the second time I've had to do this.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

The House Diaries – The one with the decorating
I'm frustrated, really just quite fed up. In fact, I'm so fed up I could poke my eyes out. My house is the cause of this…. We've been living here almost 5 months and we still haven't finished decorating; we are still living with chip-board flooring upstairs and tiled flooring downstairs (we ripped up the carpets because the previous occupants left fleas for us! How kind!?). The chip boards upstairs are just downright dangerous… Nails poking up (Princess Pants fell and cut her chin on it!), and the carpets we ripped up were stapled down and some of the staples snapped as we were pulling up the carpets.
I have been looking forward to this month because in February and March we don't need to pay for our Council Tax. That means we will have over £200 free to spend on carpets for the kids rooms. However, it also means I need to get my arse into gear and finish painting the kids rooms. Currently the walls are painted (with the exception of the mural wall in Boyo's room), but the woodwork is cream gloss and you can't beat white in my opinion.
Next week is half term, which means I won't have time without the children to crack on, but when they get back to school, Princess Pants' bedroom will be finished. Then it's on to Boyo's mural and the woodwork glossed! Then I will be able to measure up, ready to order the carpet!
Once the carpets are in, I can remove the boxes containing PP's bed, and the mattress from my bedroom. Oh, I really am looking forward to getting my bedroom back.

He will also answer questions from fans, and will occasionally be joined by other "Late Night" staffers and guests, according to the show's official blog.
The stream will be available at LateNightWithJimmyFallon.com, and will be powered by Ustream, according to Late Night producer/digital guru Gavin Purcell.
WebNewser will be tuning in and giving our take on the experiment next week, and you should too.

Day 23: A letter to someone, anyone
I miss you more than I can put into words. Each and every day I think about you and I hate that you aren't here anymore. I thought it would get easier with time but it hasn't and it sucks. I hate not having you to be able to just call on my way home from work like I used to. I hate not being able to drive to see you for dinner before driving the hour home so that I wouldn't miss work in the morning. I hate not being able to tell you everything.
It isn't fair that you were taken from us. There are so many bad people in the world and yet you were the one taken. I think about you all the time and miss you even more often. I love you so much and I am going to keep living my life trying to make sure you would be proud of me. You mean so much to me and I will never stop loving you.
Till we meet again,
Day 24: Write about a lesson you learned the hard way
I have learned a lot of lessons the hard way but the one that comes to mind is not to trust everyone. Sure there are some people in the world that can be trusted but there are also a lot of people who shouldn't be trusted. I used to trust a lot more easily than I do now even when I had a bad feeling about something but now I know to follow my gut when it's telling me not to trust.
Day 25: Think of any word and search it on Google images. Write something inspired by the 11th image
Word: Believe
Dreams are a strange but wonderful thing, they come in two rather abstract concepts. Let's begin with the one most people think about when someone says dream, the ones that happen when you are sleeping. Such a concept to think that our minds can create these images while we are asleep. When all other functions are put on pause we still see those images and they create something we might not understand. Though dreams are our subconscious trying to convey something we want or something we are afraid of happening.
So why is it that the second type of dream is where we set a goal we wish to achieve? Well it is because we are aiming for something that we want and while there may be fears holding us back that goal is still present. I believe that in a way the two concepts intertwine with each other and although we may not know it they each shape the other. Follow your dreams, both kinds and reach for the stars.
Day 26: Write and area in your life that you'd like to improve
This was by far the easiest one for me to do… I want to improve the way I see myself. I want to be able to love myself. I have been through a lot and come out stronger but I still have many many moments where I hate myself and I hate the way I look. I'm working each and every day on loving myself and accepting myself for everything I've been through and all the scars that I carry but it is still a difficult road.
Day 27: Write about something that's kicking ass right now
Last night I went to my first paint night and I think it kicked ass. I loved it and I've signed up for the next one. I also have my bullet journal going and it's allowing me that creative outlet. I believe the creative parts of my life are kicking ass!

Cressi is a little-known brand to swimmers because they're primarily a snorkel and dive company. I've recently discovered their swim products and I have to say that I'm impressed that they're still made in Italy by the Cressi family.
The Flash goggles were another too-big goggle for me. Although I was able to get a seal with a lot of strap-tightening, they just weren't the best fit for an average face like mine. The nose bridge is quit wide, making me think this would be a good pair for Asian folks or anyone with eyes set farther apart.
Despite the ill fit, the quality was clearly great. The frame is super flexible and the design is pretty striking.

The next several plays I'll publish haven't been produced, but the first four are scheduled for a production later in 2019 here in Oaxaca. They've already been translated into Spanish. These are also plays that were written at various times over the past 25 years. "Totally Committed" was written in 2001.
These plays fall into the standard play format meaning the characters have names and genders and locations are given. Unlike the previous 10-minute plays I published, each line of dialogue isn't limited to five words. Your basic normal plays. 🙂
Synopsis: A celibate woman goes back on her promise of sexual activity upon her engagement.
Stevie, female
Jordan, male
Note: Actors can be any age, just so long as it's believable that the female has had a sexual life and has been celibate for almost a decade. Diverse casting is encouraged.
SETTING: Stevie's apartment. The only necessary set piece is a couch (or a bed if the play is set in the bedroom).
(Lights up on JORDAN and STEVIE, some clothes off, kissing and groping. Jazz plays in the b.g. STEVIE moans)
JORDAN: Oh, yeah. Feels good. Feels sooo goooood.
STEVIE: Jordan, stop.
JORDAN: Can't stop.
STEVIE: Please stop.
JORDAN: Don't wanna stop. (STEVIE pushes JORDAN with such force that he rolls across the floor) What?!!
STEVIE: (covering her breasts with her shirt) I can't.
JORDAN: You have to.
STEVIE: I do not.
JORDAN: But, you promised.
STEVIE: My promise to the Lord is stronger.
JORDAN: If he were sitting here with the raging stiffo I have, he'd be saying, 'Stevie, grabbeth thy rod and leadeth me to salvation. Giveth me salvation. Stroketh me to ejaculation.'
STEVIE: This is no joking matter.
JORDAN: Who's joking? You can't leave me in this condition.
STEVIE: I felt a shooting pain. It was a sign.
JORDAN: It was pleasure. The intense kind. You just can't tell the difference after all these VIE: I know the difference. It started when you touched me down there.
JORDAN: Down there could use a little touching. I'm surprised your clit hasn't divorced you for neglect.
STEVIE: I take my vow very seriously. And so does my clit.
JORDAN: Is that why your hand made a bee-line for my dick?
STEVIE: I'm not immune to temptation. Just because I'm celibate doesn't mean I'm not human.
JORDAN: Stevie, you haven't masturbated in nine years. I question your humanness.
STEVIE: I pray. Especially when it's throbbing like it is now. Pray with me.
JORDAN: Let me do a laying of the hands. Isn't that what Jesus did to relieve to pain?
STEVIE: I know Jesus. You're not Jesus.
(JORDAN plays a sexy song on his phone)
STEVIE: I don't think that's a good idea.
JORDAN: We always dance to this song.
STEVIE: This is different.
JORDAN: What about the ring?
STEVIE: It's beautiful.
JORDAN: It's commitment.
STEVIE: Yes, it is.
JORDAN: So?
STEVIE: I just don't think we should dance, Jordan.
JORDAN: Forget the music, then. Talk to me. Don't look at me like that. That ring is supposed to be my ticket to the Promised Land.
STEVIE: I've had a change of heart.
JORDAN: You had what, Cruella?
STEVIE: Don't be mean.
JORDAN: When did you have this revelation?
STEVIE: The other day. And I owe it all to you, sweetheart.
JORDAN: Don't blame me for your fit of temporary insanity.
STEVIE: I'm not crazy. This is about fulfillment. Our fulfillment.
JORDAN: (Taking her in his arms) Then let me start fulfilling.
STEVIE: I'm talking spiritual.
JORDAN: Excuse me, but I've had enough spirit to fill ten heavens. You promised me some sex and I want it now!
STEVIE: God will forgive you for that lie.
JORDAN: Did I say intercourse? Did I?
STEVIE: No, but I naturally thought so.
JORDAN: Sex is comprised of many activities, if you recall. None of which I've been able to enjoy for sex—I mean, six—months. Six agonizingly loooong months.
STEVIE: I never forced you into anything.
JORDAN: Granted, but you did say that once we were totally committed to each other, we could commence with touching, caressing and kissing, right?
STEVIE: Yes.
JORDAN: Baby, I'm tired of taking matters into my own hand. I've had the patience of, of—
STEVIE: Job.
JORDAN: Yeah, Job. And I'd say that ring you accepted tonight—accepted willingly, I might add—that's about as totally committed as two people can get, wouldn't you say?
STEVIE: Why are you questioning me like a criminal?
JORDAN: Because what you're doing to me is a crime. Do you agree with my last statement?
STEVIE: Yes, I do, Mister Mason.
JORDAN: Very funny. Listen, if you go back on this, what's next?
STEVIE: Like what?
JORDAN: Before your condition—
STEVIE: Celibacy is not a condition. It's a privilege.
JORDAN: Fine. Before your privilege, what was your favorite thing about sex?
STEVIE: You know.
JORDAN: Humor me.
STEVIE: Oral sex.
JORDAN: What if you decide next year that it's disgusting?
STEVIE: Never happen. You don't know how much I loved it.
JORDAN: See, you said loved. Past tense. You've already changed your mind.
STEVIE: Oh, sweetheart, I can't wait for the moment we put our mouths to work.
JORDAN: This is torture. To love someone more than the world and not be able to touch them.
STEVIE: It'll be worth the wait. You'll see. Besides, we're more than just sex, aren't we?
JORDAN: It's not natural to suppress these feelings.
STEVIE: It's what made you so special, though. You saw beyond the physical.
JORDAN: Everybody told me I was nuts to go along with this, but I said, "Nope, I know what I'm doing. We have a pact. Appetizers before the 'I do,' the main course after." Baby, I haven't eaten a full meal in six months and I'm hungry.
STEVIE: Oh, but how good that first mouthful is going to taste. And all the ones after it. Listen, I know it's hard. (giggles) Sorry. You said you understood why I wanted to wait.
JORDAN: Easy for you. You're not human, remember?
STEVIE: That's not true.
JORDAN: Anybody who can go ten years without sex…
STEVIE: I told you I pray.
JORDAN: I know, I know. Which means you've questioned your decision.
STEVIE: Not giving in has made me stronger.
JORDAN: Lucky me. You promised physical contact when we committed. You've changed your mind without consulting me, and now I have to suffer until we get married.
STEVIE: It'll be easier for you if you see it as something besides suffering.
JORDAN: Let's elope. Tonight. There's got to be a state close by that will marry us.
STEVIE: No. We're sticking to our plan. Jordan?
JORDAN: (pouting) What?
STEVIE: You say you understand my faith, but do you?
JORDAN: Something about being used by men.
STEVIE: Bingo. And the solution was the commitment I made to Jesus Christ. I know that whomever I'm destined to share my life with will see this greatness that surrounds me, and enlarges itself every moment of my life. Selah.
JORDAN: Jesus never went back on his word.
STEVIE: Is something else bothering you? About us, I mean.
JORDAN: Not a thing. You know you're the only woman I've ever wanted to marry. Ever.
STEVIE: Then what's another six months compared to decades together?
JORDAN: What about kissing? Kissing is not a bad thing.
STEVIE: It's a wonderful thing. One of the most intimate acts two people can share.
JORDAN: How about one teeny, tiny kiss to commemorate our commitment?
STEVIE: Just one? I don't know.
JORDAN: I know you have a heart.
STEVIE: Well, it is a special occasion.
(They kiss. Jordan caresses her breast. She puts her hand near his penis, but instantly pulls it away and ends the kiss)
You said just a kiss.
JORDAN: Your hand was on a journey, too.
STEVIE: God, but you're a great kisser.
JORDAN: I want to sleep with you tonight.
STEVIE: Jordan.
JORDAN: I mean just sleep.
STEVIE: And you wonder why I insist on no contact. Look where this is heading.
JORDAN: But, just now, the kiss, you liked it. Loved it, even. You can't tell me you can turn it off until the wedding just like that.
STEVIE: I must avoid the temptation.
JORDAN: I want the real reason you changed your mind.
STEVIE: About two years ago I met this guy, a real ladies' man so I was shocked when he stuck around. We'd been dating about seven months when he said he'd finally found the woman he wanted buried next to him.
JORDAN: How romantic.
STEVIE: It was the way he said it.
JORDAN: Whatever.
STEVIE: Anyway, we kissed and before I knew it, his head was between my legs.
JORDAN: You were naked?! With a man?!
STEVIE: Quit making fun. I was ashamed of my behavior and stopped it right away. I told him there'd be no more until the wedding and that was the last time I saw him. I shouldn't be surprised, really. My point is, just because you say you're committed, it doesn't mean…
JORDAN: But, I gave you a ring.
STEVIE: If you can wait until the wedding, then I'll know you were sincere. There's no better way to show your love.
JORDAN: Physical contact between two people as they grow closer is completely natural. More, it's totally essential.
STEVIE: What you say makes perfect sense. The answer is still no.
JORDAN: Then I want my ring back.
STEVIE: You're not serious.
JORDAN: I'm not leaving without it.
STEVIE: What has happened to you?
JORDAN: Me? You're the one denying us an essential element in our relationship.
STEVIE: Leaving would be the biggest mistake of your life.
JORDAN: I can't live with this new arrangement.
STEVIE: Are you really leaving?
JORDAN: No contact?
(STEVIE shakes her head. JORDAN opens the door)
STEVIE: See, I was right. You're just like all the others.
JORDAN: None of the others stayed this long. Or gave you a ring.
STEVIE: No, but they left just the same. (long pause) I'm going to bed. Alone. Will I hear from you tomorrow? (pause) I love you, Jordan. You're very special. In my eyes and His.
JORDAN: Yeah, you're special, too.
STEVIE: It'll be worth it, you'll see. Just put your faith in the Lord.
(JORDAN kisses her cheek and leaves. STEVIE leans against the door and slides to a crouching position. She closes her eyes and puts her hands on her breasts as the lights fade to black)

Locations include Astana, Semey, Kokshetau, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Taldykorgan and Uralsk. For research, I've been watching my DVD of Borat repeatedly. However gaps remain in my knowledge. Yeah, I am joking about Borat. There's actually some pretty good videos on Youtube about the school. I'm just looking for some first hand info from anybody who has been there or taught there, especially with this school. What's good and bad about the place, and what should a teacher expect? I know Kazakhstan is unbelievably cold, and very much a developing country. From the videos, it reminds me a little of the developing parts of China. I imagine that Astana is by far the most developed and modern city, and the other locations might be rather more "backward" (for want of a better word). Maybe I'm wrong.

Actually, the devaluation was a raise. The advertised salary is also quite good. 2) There are several high paying EFL jobs in KZ. Some salaries, specifically language centers are low, but for those with experience and or qualifications or even the right personality fit, there are very lucrative positions. (including language centers) Many teachers in Kazakhstan are doing quite well. So I'd argue that some jobs are dead end while others are not, IMHO making a blanket statement about the whole country shows a lack of on the ground experience. I'd also say you need to define what is an "educational professional", ones that I know, for the most part, are content with their salaries. Edit to add: I just took a look at some advertisements for Kazakhstan, it seems language centers in big cities have adjusted their salaries since the deval, however, the travel allowance is indeed a joke. As has been mentioned elsewhere on this board, some government schools / universities and oil companies have great packages.

Taking place from August 1 to October 31, CAP competed to find homes for more cats and dogs than ever before.
"The ASPCA $100K Challenge is a great motivator for our team and the citizens and businesses of Houston to get involved – to help connect hundreds of the fun, loving cats and dogs in our shelter with the right families," said Kappy Muenzer, Executive Director of Citizens for Animal Protection. "Working hard together, not only will save hundreds of animals and enrich the lives of new adoptive families, we'll have a chance at the $100,000 grant which we'll use to support our new beautiful shelter."

Your floor can take a beating over the holidays. Whether it's visiting family, holiday parties or winter weather, we have easy solutions for some of your biggest problems and advice from our installation professionals!
For Scratches and Gouges
Scratches can happen on all wood flooring. Luckily, our installation pros have a few ideas for getting rid of physical damage. First, repairs should be made immediately to fend off potential water damage. Second, always make sure the repair products you use are compatible with clear waterbase urethane finishes. For hardwood or bamboo:
Is it a surface scratch? Try a scratch cover, spray concealer or lotion to camouflage the scratch (but not remove it). There are also color satin markers which have a satin and urethane mixture, giving the repair a shine.
Is it a deep scratch? Wax color-fill sticks might work, which you can find at home repair stores. Just rub into the scratch and buff with a cotton rag. To see instructions for a light sanding and recoating, and for more detailed directions on scratch repairs check here.
Lumber Liquidators offer repair products that can help you, too:
Engineered Flooring Repair Kit
Solid & Bamboo Flooring Repair Kit
Engineered Repair Adhesive
For Squeaky Floors
Squeaks are a result of board movement, whether wood-to-wood or wood-to-nail. If the cause is environmental, humidity can bring about noise. Humidity over 55%, for example, can cause boards to expand and rub. Always try to keep indoor humidity before and after installation between 30-50% with temperatures between 60 and 80. Another easy solution is to sprinkle baby powder in squeaky areas, as Bob tells us in the video above. Silica talc in the baby powder will work as a dry lubricant to lessen minor squeaks.
To learn more about squeaks and humidity, check here.
Removing Marker
If you have laminate flooring, you're in luck! Here's one easy way to remove marker from your floor.
We hope some of these flooring fixes will help keep your floors safe and beautiful over the holidays! If you know of some others, share in the comments with your fellow floor fans!

Last night, actress Lea Michele turned heads in a plunging black dress at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.
At the star-studded party, she was reunited with several of her "Glee" co-stars, including Darren Criss and Matthew Morrison!
She posted a pic, writing on Instagram, "Mini Glee reunion last night ❤."
After leaving the party, she was spotted heading to Craig's restaurant with Nikki Reed.
Unfortunately, Michele suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she was getting out of the car.
Lea doesn't seem to be bothered by the mishap. On Monday, she gushed about seeing Ricky Martin at a party, tweeting, "Always love seeing you @ricky_martin ❤ cannot believe we were in Les Mis together over 20 years ago! ✨."

Your best friends dead the entire summer and you have no idea…that makes you a bad friend. Elena Gilbert you've legit failed the best friend test…same goes for you Caroline. Caroline and Elena continue their college years until Elena finds out that everything else back home has fallen a part.
Matt, Jeremy and Katherine are trying to stay as far away as possible from Silas…and everyone else in Mystic Falls. Not really sure where this storyline is headed…and I don't know why Matt and Jer think they can outsmart Silas…they just need to figure this s*** out.
Okay so it's safe to say this season of The Vampire Diaries has been a slight disappointment…dude Bonnie's been dead for 4 months and nobody can put the pieces together. Now Jeremy's back…but he's kind of boring…and Matt did get a little hotter but he's still plain old Matt. Except we do find out that the weird magic thing the witch did to him last week was to protect him against Silas' mind reading powers. So at least Matt has the upper hand…for once.
I just feel like there were so many interesting stories developing last season…and none of them are veering in that direction right now and it's quite disappointing. Caroline and Klaus? Everyone wanted those two together…Matt belongs with Rebekah…they just complete each other…they are more entertaining together than alone.
Now Elena knows that Stefan is legitimately missing…Caroline spills the beans to Damon and tells him Elena has been worried all summer…like she's had the feeling that something's been wrong with her old beau. Clearly she's still thinking about him. But really who cares about Stefan and Elena…she's just as boring as everyone else.
Back to Matt and Jer…Silas does catch up to them…he 'kills' Matt after he realizes he can't read his mind. Meanwhile, Jer and Katherine make a run for it. Matt finds himself on 'the other side' and Bonnie's there waiting for him. She gets around. After Bonnie tells him he needs to find the way back to his body to return to life…he puts the pieces together and asks blankly.."If I'm on the other side, then how come you're here with me?"…as if he's totally confident Bonnie is really somewhere off in Europe getting belligerent. I really wanted to see Bonnie tell Jeremy she was dead…but we didn't get to see that scene…even in tonight's episode the scene cuts and we never get to hear the entire conversation.
Caroline is totally hitting it off with the new guy on campus. That is all.
Somehow Silas got into Elena's head and she is determined to kill Damon. Damon gets Elena to focus on the pain she's felt for Stefan…all the worrying she's gone through this summer. She starts to feel all the pain and hunger Stefan's felt…and then she's back to normal….just like that. Cut to Elena packing up her car because she's done with school!! Your friend has been dead longer than you've been in school! This girl is getting pathetic by the minute. Okay so Elena's leaving, but Caroline promises her she will hold it down on campus…now that she's got a new man she feels all sexy and strong! You go girl.
Cut to: Damon and Elena making out on the car. Damon confesses to Elena that he's totally secure with her having dreams about Stefan. She tells him she loves him and they will find Stefan together..she will continue to love him (Damon that is). Cut to: Random forest…Damon, Elena and Caroline's mom are standing around the vault Stefan was put in at the end of last season. They open the door and find a dead person with a bloody neck, Stefan somehow rescued himself and couldn't resist the urge. He hasn't had a bite to eat in 3 months! I'm surprised he's not dead!
The previews for next episode look entertaining. Stefan's back in Ripper form and we cannot wait. He's so much sexier when he's evil and bloody. Don't judge.Follow @hollywd_heroine

Bill Mann, like scores of farmers across the country, uses options and futures to set a price floor for his corn, soybeans and wheat. He views selling futures or buying put options as a form of insurance, since they lock in a price.
But he doesn't limit himself to the "sell side" of the market. He'll do the flip side, too - buying futures or call options in order to protect against a price rally. That's also a form of insurance.
"We protect cash sales with options," says Mann, who operates a 2,200-acre farm near Merom, IN. His 1999 marketing plan stipulates buying equal amounts of puts and calls, although not necessarily at the same time.
The call option relieves Mann of the worry of selling "too soon," if, for instance, prices should rally a dime after he sells. Owning the call option gives him the right to buy the underlying futures contract, so he still captures the benefit of the rally even though he's already sold his grain.
Mann says he'll probably forward contract 50% of anticipated 1999 production, buy calls on 50% and buy puts on 50%. While that adds up to 150%, those puts and calls can be used on any portion of his crop as insurance.
The puts will be used to establish a price floor for the unpriced portion, and the calls can be used to cover the forward pricing and cash grain sales in case of a rally. He'll store roughly 25% to carry over into the next year.
Mann and his son Jeff do their pricing via historical trends and day-to-day technical charts. He does not set specific price targets for his cash pricing decisions.
"Some marketing plans figure the cost of production, add 10 or 20%, and target that. That isn't my strategy," Mann says. "Until I grow the crop, I don't know my cost of production, and the market doesn't care what it costs to produce my crops."
Historically, the better time to buy call options is from December to about mid-February, Mann says. Usually the best time to buy put options is from April to the beginning of June.
"Markets peak or bottom ahead of when people think they should. The highs are often reached when the crop is being planted," Mann says. "That's when you buy your puts."
Mel Brees, University of Missouri extension farm management specialist, says call options can give farmers more confidence in making decisions to sell cash grain.
"Too many farmers sit on grain in the bin. They're afraid to price it because of a possible rally," says Brees. "The basic strategies should be to buy a put to lock in a price, and if you make a cash sale, then re-own it with a call."
If prices rally, the producer will reap the added gains. If prices don't, the farmer can offset the call with a put and get some money back, or simply let the call expire. Mann admits that the premiums for buying both puts and calls add up quickly, but says the risk reduction justifies the cost.
"If I spend $5,000 or $10,000 in options premiums, that may work out to be $3-5/acre," he says. "I just figure that as another input cost."

Legume Seed Inoculation
Is there any virtue in inoculating plants with the bacteria that some
seed firms offer? I refer to such plants as peas and beans.
If the land is yielding good crops of these plants and the roots are
noduled, it does not need addition of germs. If the growth is scant even
when there is enough moisture present and the roots are free from
nodules, the presumption is that germs should be added. Speaking
generally, added germs are not needed in California because our great
legume crops are made without inoculation. Presumably, burr clover and
our host of native legumes have already charged the soil with them. If,
however, such plants do not do well, try inoculation by all means, to
see if absence of germs is the reason for such failure or whether you
must look for some other reason. If the results are satisfactory, you
may have made a great gain by introduction of desirable soil organisms
which you can extend as you like by the distribution of the germ-laden
soil from the areas which have been given that character by inoculation
of the seed.

I just got back from Chapters book store and was flipping through MuscleMag International and Muscular Development, two hardcore bodybuilding magazines and thought, "The drug use among these guys is horrendous – they look like freaks. What have they done to their bodies?"
Maybe you agree, maybe not.
In my opinion, they've gotten grotesquely big in their arms and legs, and their waistlines, swollen with massive does of steroids and growth hormone, resulting in 40 inch waists!
Then I went on to read about these bodybuilders double-day split routines, extended sets, and hour after hour of training.
Flipping through those magazines reminds me when I was 22, just after I packed on 41 pounds of drug free lean muscle training the complete opposite way.
I told a buddy of mine, "I'm going to write a book on how I transformed my body because i think it's a shame that very few people understand how to build muscle naturally."
My buddy said, "You should get busy and start writing."
So that's what I did and the rest is history. In the past 2 years I've helped over 20,000 skinny guys (and gals) gain slabs or rock-hard muscle doing it the natural way.
I know my website is quite long, so I did a quick video of my transformation – the music is dramatic because this WAS one of the most dramatic events in my life – no longer being skinny.
I truly believe that if you're training drug free, you need to take advice from someone who is doing the same.
You wouldn't take money advice from a friend born into wealth, would you?
So why take bodybuilding advice from a source who was given muscle friendly genetics at birth?
I put together a 21-day $19.95 trial offer of my program – I know there a lot of scams and sheisters on the Internet and I am not one of them. Here's how I can prove it to you…
Look forward to hearing about your transformation,

Hi, Vince, thank you for your articles, are very interesting; Vince, I work and study. I want to buy the products; but, I think, when I can to read them, because is a huge information, numerous books, diets, etc, I am feeling as a boy in a chocolate factory: in shock. Can you give me any idea, I hope that you understand my position. Thank you.VA:F [1.9.8_1114]VA:R_U [1.9.8_1114]
hey um, no one has been able to answer this question. does having sex, well alot of sex why lie? affect weight training? seriously if your an athlete and then lift heavy weights for muscle, does having sex take away energy only or does it have a more hardcore affect? I understand boxers and stuff, but what about weight training? or masturbating, i know it sounds ridiculous but I have not found a well backed up answer from no one.VA:F [1.9.8_1114]VA:R_U [1.9.8_1114]
I appreciate your emails and the great information you provide. However, in a recent email addressing muscle soreness you stated: "You will find the best sore muscle treatment is to perform
your next workout with lighter weights and higher repetitions
to flush the lactic acid, a by-product making the muscles
While I agree with your comments on how to get rid of soreness, lactic acid is not the cause of soreness. I refer you to a couple of articles that I have posted on my website (www.intervaltrainingguide.com/blog) that were written by highly respected exercise physiologists and biochemists, Robert Robergs and George Brooks.
I think this is a common error in the way we speak in the fitness world about the term "lactic acid." Whether it be out of simple ignorance or habit, I think we need to clarify the true benefits that "lactic acid' provides in buffering H+ build up and providing substrate to continue with the glycolytic process.
Thanks again for all the information

I thought I would share an article that supports what you say about cardio:
The Low-Intensity Cardio Lie
By Craig Ballantyne
Once in a while, a study comes along that surprises me. For instance, I recently found one showing that cardio works for fat loss – as long as it is high-intensity cardio.
Researchers at the University of Virginia assigned 27 obese women (average age 51) to one of three groups…
1. The control group did no exercise training.
2. The second group did five days per week of low-intensity exercise (LIE). (Gotta love that acronym… truly represents the "slow cardio lie.")
3. The third group did three days per week of high-intensity cardio exercise (HIC) plus two days per week of LIE.
Instead of exercising for a specific length of time in every session – LIE or HIC – the subjects exercised long enough to burn 400 calories. So no group burned more calories than the others, though the third group burned the 400 calories faster in their three HIC workouts each week.
And HIC kicked LIE's butt! The study found that the subjects in the low-intensity exercise group did not lose fat. On the other hand, the subjects in the high-intensity cardio group lost a significant amount of abdominal fat.
So, once again, research has shown that…
• Exercising harder results in more fat loss in less time.
• Only hard exercise burns belly fat.
• Low-intensity cardio won't help you lose fat.
I prefer interval training to cardio for my clients who are on a fat-loss program. But the results of this study have influenced me to make a slight change in my recommendations.
I now occasionally throw in some high-intensity cardio for my clients, usually as a 20- or 30-minute session done at a pace they can barely maintain for that length of time. They don't like it, but it works. (Most of them prefer the interval training.)
If you are interested in trying this, you can add HIC to your program up to three times per week. Just remember to self-monitor your body for any symptoms of overuse injuries – and, as always, TRAIN SAFE.
I'll give the last word to the University of Virginia researchers who stated, "The present data indicate that body composition changes are affected by the intensity of exercise training with HIC more effectively for reducing total abdominal fat and subcutaneous abdominal fat in obese women."VA:F [1.9.8_1114]VA:R_U [1.9.8_1114]
Nice transformation Vince! Keep up the good work! 😉VA:F [1.9.8_1114]VA:R_U [1.9.8_1114]
i have been doing weights for the last three months and i am wondering if your arms are suppose to be sore overnight because mine are only sore for 2 minutes.VA:F [1.9.8_1114]VA:R_U [1.9.8_1114]
