Evidence for electrochemical deposition of gold onto arsenopyrite
Möller, Peter; Sastri, Chaturvedula S.; Kluckner, Manfred; Rhede, Dieter; Ortner, Hugo M.
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 9 Number 6 (1997), p. 1217 - 1226
12 references
published: Dec 2, 1997
manuscript accepted: Jun 2, 1997

Abstract A detailed study of the distribution of As and S around gold grains in arsenopyrite reveals that, in most cases, gold is bordered by areas of both high and low As/S ratios. Interpreting these ratios in terms of pand n-type conductivity, it is suggested that gold is precipitated in minute galvanic couples fed by fluids that are not necessarily supersaturated with respect to gold in terms of the macro-environment. The important factor in controlling gold accumulation is the micro-environment at sites acting as galvanic couples. An electrochemical process is suggested by (i) the specific distribution of different As/S ratio regions and (ii) the corrosion phenomena often observed alongside well-preserved crystal faces of arsenopyrite at sites of visible old accumulation. The absence or presence of corroded surfaces on arsenopyrite correlates with high and low As/S ratios, respectively.
gold • arsenopyrite • electrochemistry • n- and p-type conductivity • galvanic cell • corrosion

My colleagues Daniel J. Sheridan, Rachel Lilienthal Stark and I have collectively authored an important client alert about an upcoming law deadline that could impact all limited liability companies in the state of New Jersey. The New Jersey Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (RULLCA) takes full effect on March 1, 2014 and it considerably changes many of the legal principles underlying the organization, governance and operation of limited liability companies.
If you know somebody that owns a limited liability company in the state of New Jersey, their business may be impacted by this new act and they should be directed to the full article here.

The Vegetable Recipes That Didn't Suck.
The battle remains uphill (couldn't remember how to turn the stove on the other day, which is a testament to how scrambled my pregnant brain is becoming – add that to last week's inability to use the gas pump on a car I've owned for over six years), but I'm still working diligently to cut more meat out of our diets and integrate more vegetable-based dishes. Call it an experiment in vegebetes, if you will.
And I will.
There have been a few spectacular failures (undocumented) and a handful of poorly-photographed successes (documented and to follow), but we're slowly making progress, and I've yet to burn the house down. Pluses on all fronts.
Here are a few of the vegetable dishes that tasted nice, were Birdzone approved (for the most part), and didn't kill anyone:
This eggplant from Jamie Oliver. As mentioned, no one died. And we've made it ten different times so far, with leftovers extending for a day or so, making it useful on several fronts.
I make it exactly as the recipe dictates, except I use gluten-free bread crumbs and I also add more garlic than should be humanly consumed. We've eaten it on its own, served over quinoa, or over pasta. Even Birdzone said it was "okay," and the neighbor's kid actually said it was "awesome!" Everyone seemed surprised by this realization.
I also took a crack at making falafel last night, which was surprisingly awesome (and the patties stayed together much more effectively than the quinoa and sweet potato ones that haunt my dreams). Birdy really liked these, and they actually tasted like something instead of me wishing they tasted like something. The recipe came from a Better Homes and Gardens 365 Vegetarian Meals cookbook, which was more than worth the purchase because most of the recipes seem really easy … even for a novice like me.
For the falafel patties:
1 15 oz can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup shredded carrot
2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, halved
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Once these ingredients are measured out, put them all in a food processor and mess them up together. That's kind of it; it took more time to measure things out then to obliterate them in the food processor.
Problem was I used a food processor that was a teeny bit too small for the project. I had to blend things by the half portion, and then smash them together in a bigger bowl, which was kind of fun in a chickpea snowball sort of way, but really messy to clean up.
Once everything is mixed up, you split the contents into four sections and shape the mixture like giant cookie dough balls. Then, in a large skillet, you heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, then put the patties in there. The recipe called for the patties to cook for 6 minutes, but mine required more like 10. Once they are brown on one side, flip them over and brown up the other side. Then they are done.
(Note: We liked the taste, but next time I make these, I'm splitting the mixture into smaller portions and making 8 patties, not 4. That way, they'll end up a little crispier and not be so gigantic.)
For the sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Once the patties are ready to go, put them on a bed of spinach, top with the mayonnaise mix and some cucumber slices, and eat them with your face.
More experiments coming soon, but thank you guys for the recommendations and advice as I take a crack at this new way of cooking. I appreciate all the input, and should mail you all some cookies (like these cookies, because they are so damn good).

I love Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks because they actually include carb counts but are also real food. I like Jamie Oliver's recipes but doing the math to work out the carbs can be too much when I'm trying to get dinner on the table.08/4/16; 11:31 am

I've had great success with using recipes from Oh She Glows byAngela Liddon. I end up weighing every ingredient to calculate the carbs. I've even made notes next to each ingredient for the number of grams of carbs per 100 g weigh, so I just multiple by the factor. It is a little more work but I've been pretty accurate when it comes to bolus in my daughter's insulin. Best wishes!08/4/16; 9:10 pm
If you're looking to go full-on veg on the falafel, definitely check out Hampton Creek's Just Mayo. Tastes just like mayo (and I'm not just saying that), but egg-free. And also check out their "Just Cookies," which they've started rolling out to grocery stores and Targets across the country.08/8/16; 1:23 pm

whee, 3.5 FAQ from today 6/25/04 clears up TWF and FoB!
Expand Messages
- new section added in today's edition of the 3.5 fact explains how TWF
(two weapon fighting) and a monk's FoB (Flurry of Blows) works!
To add an off-hand attack to a flurry of blows, stack
whatever two-weapon penalty the monk has with the penalty (if
any) from the flurry. Attacks from the flurry have the monk's
full damage bonus from Strength, but the off-hand attack gains
only half Strength bonus to damage. If the off-hand attack is a
weapon, that weapon isn't available for use in the flurry (if it
can be used in a flurry at all, see the previous question).

By the close of the 28th annual Beacon Santa Telethon on Sunday, the Maynard High students at WAVM had raised $28,000 for local families in need.
Four Sunday highlights:At the close of the 28th annual Beacon Santa telethon, WAVM had raised $27,550, continuing a long tradition of community teamwork to help local families in need. But at noon on Sunday, WAVM Faculty Advisor Mark Minasian said some extra money would likely trickle in through last-minute donations, and he expected the final count to top $28,000.
"People usually give more when they come to pick up their auction items," he said.
As bleary-eyed students clutching pillows teetered out toward their parents' cars to head home, many students remained behind, resetting the tables and chairs in the classrooms. Auction winners lined up to collect their items from the gym, staffed by volunteers.
Maureen Devos, a WAVM parent whose seventh-grade daughter hosts a radio show, was picking up a planter she bought.
"She was on TV displaying things, and in a few years I'm sure she'll be one of the kids running it," she said of her student.
WATCH THE TELETHON SLIDESHOWVolunteers staffed a table of leftover auction items, affectionately dubbed the Island of Misfit Toys, for last-minute sales. Several old Maynard street signs, donated by the town, were up for grabs: Louise Street, Maybury Road, Great Road and Elmhurst Road. Also remaining were pajamas, a Matrix action figure, cookbooks and household odds and ends. According to Neil McCarthy, head of the technical crew, most of the leftover items are sold or held over for the following year.
The website crew updated WAVM.org throughout the weekend, and hashed out plans for an online donation option next year. New photos were uploaded every six hours, and volunteers kept the bids and donation totals current.
"I'm a website developer, so I've offered some help so we can get up to 21st century technology," said Sarah Dulaney, a 2001 Maynard High School graduate who volunteered during the telethon.
Also heard at the telethon Sunday morning:
"When I started here, we were doing it on the chalkboard in the hallway," said Dave Griffin, the website manager.
"Every year we usually have a major technical glitch we have to fix, but this year was only minor glitches," said Neil McCarthy, head of the technical crew. "With my tech crew we accomplished a telethon that ran better than last year."
"I'm so tired I can't think," said Katrina Kolhman, a senior and one of the telethon hosts.

Just a little drabble written in the middle of the night. Inspired by the famous scene, but imagined a while after watching, so my apologies for any inaccuracies.
Sherlock's mind flicked through alternative solutions, discarding them all. There was no other way, only this. He had never been so disappointed with himself.
Before John, he would not have hesitated to end Moriarty. But now it would mean ending John as well, which was incomprehensible. His own life meant little; he would have won the battle. Beating the small evil man in front of him was all that should have mattered to him, even if it required his own death. Except now John was looking at him, the hope draining from his eyes as he absorbed the situation, slower than Sherlock of course, but fractionally faster than he would have imagined John capable of. And it took everything Sherlock had to raise a questioning eyebrow.
John nodded, as Sherlock had known he would. John was a selfless as they come, and more besides. He would sacrifice himself happily if it meant the end of Moriarty's reign. But he wasn't sacrificing, Sherlock was.
Sherlock had never spent much time deducing himself; it was much more interesting to speculate and learn about others. He was always there, after all. He could save the subject of himself for when he was alone, with little else to think about. Except, if he was honest, he rarely got around to it. And more recently, when John was there, he never spent his spare time thinking of himself. Now he wished he had put aside some time to think, because it was only now, in this second, this instant, that he realised what he had missed.
And now it was too late.
His arm was stiff as he raised it, aiming first at Moriarty and then at the crumpled vest on the floor. The vest he had ripped off John. Even then he had not examined exactly why he was so desperate to free his friend from that ever so immediate threat. Why the sense of relief at stripping it off had almost literally brought him to his knees. He should have been planning ahead, he should have known that Moriarty would not be content to leave them, he should have... But he was too preoccupied. With John, being alive.
In the seconds that he was staring down Moriarty, trying to judge what he was thinking, planning, another part of his mind was powering through memories of John, analysing, working out if there could be any chance he felt the same. And finally, his conclusion was reached.
They had lived for each other. And now they would die for each other too.
As always, I love a review or two, so go ahead, do!
p.s. for the guest that pointed out my spelling of moriate/ moriarty - thank you! I've been spelling it wrong for 20 years, even though I read it often enough...

TomorrowWorld Releases 2014 Set Times
The second annual TomorrowWorld will take place September 26th-28th, and anticipation has been building. This morning, TomorrowWorld sneakily revealed the set times for this year. The lineup features more than 300 acts spanning seven stages. To check out the set times, click here.
Thanks to themed stages, such as Full-On, Q-Dance, and OWSLA, this year's schedule has given nearly every act a lengthy set time. With the average set clocking in at an hour and 30 minutes, attendees will enjoy extended sets not usually present at music festivals.
Unfortunately, with an expansive lineup comes tough conflicts. Notable conflicts include Tiesto vs. Bassnectar and Sub Focus vs. Richie Hawtin vs. Ferry Corsten; however, festival organizers have avoided scheduling similar genres against each other due to the specific theming of the stages.
The Gathering, TomrrowWorld's pre-party that takes place the Thursday before the event, still contains a lineup shrouded in secrecy.
TomorrowWorld will be held at Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia on September 26, 27, and 28. The full schedule can be accessed on the TomorrowWorld website.

In March, the East Bay's award-winning WomenSing travels to Schroeder Hall in Sonoma County for a special benefit performance, "Moments of Water." Our repertoire will flow like water from the 18th century with the Domine Deus by J.S. Bach to the 20th century with R. Murray Shafer's experimental Miniwanka (Moments of Water), an imaginative setting of Native American words for rain, stream, waterfall, lake, river, and ocean. Guest organist and Schroeder Hall curator David Parsons will accompany WomenSing's voices in joint works and will offer a special close-up peek at the Hall's baroque organ. This program will benefit Global Partners for Development (https://gpfd.org/), a Sonoma County-based nonprofit organization that supports clean water projects for children. A reception will follow the performance.
Presented by WomenSing
$35; $10 for students.

Growing camelina and safflower in the Pacific Northwest
A recent study published in Agronomy Journal provides information important to farmers growing oilseed crops. In the study, camelina and safflower were grown in three-year rotations with winter wheat and summer fallow. The study shows that using this rotation may require that no tillage should be done to the soil during the fallow year. Oilseed crops produce relatively little residue—organic material such as roots that hold the soil together. Even light tillage can disintegrate the soil.
A cooperative study by the USDA-ARS and Washington State University researched the effects of growing oilseed crops—camelina and safflower—on blowing dust emissions. The Columbia Plateau of the Inland Pacific Northwest experiences significant windblown dust from excessively-tilled agricultural lands.
Brenton Sharratt and William Schillinger found that adding camelina or safflower crops into a rotation with winter wheat and summer fallow increased the amount of dust at the end of tillage-based fallow or when wheat is planted. "Farmers will need to protect the soil from wind erosion during the fallow phase after harvest of oilseed crops," says Sharratt.
Why grow oilseed crops, anyway? In an effort to help the United States be more energy-secure, legislation was passed in 2007 to create the "Energy Independence and Security Act." This mandates the use of biofuels by the transportation industry. In addition, the Act specifies a certain amount of the biofuel must come from "non-cornstarch feedstock." Thus, the USDA created a roadmap to help meet this energy need. The roadmap requires various regions of the US to produce certain amounts of the biofuels. Additionally, the State of Washington has a law mandating that five percent of diesel fuel sold must be biodiesel.
In the USDA plan, the northwest United States is expected to produce 4.6% of the advanced biofuels to meet the goals by 2022. That means that the agriculture industry will need to change what it is planting. The Inland Pacific Northwest is the major production region of soft white wheat in the United States with wheat grown principally on semi-arid lands. However, the new mandate is making the northwest look at which crops will be best to grow to meet the biofuel demand.
The Pacific Northwest is a low-precipitation region. The typical crop rotation there is winter wheat-summer fallow. Thus, one crop is usually grown every other year. The fallow period allows the soil to store moisture from rains and snows over the winter. This stored moisture is critical for seed germination and emergence of winter wheat.
Winter wheat is currently the money crop for farmers in the region. Wheat has been produced with great success for 135 years in the northwest. Fallow still is practiced in the drier areas. Intensifying the rotation with a three-year rotation of wheat-oilseed-fallow is one strategy to produce more on the same land. The additional benefit of intensifying the rotation is to reduce dust emissions as a consequence of less time the land is in fallow.
Farmers in the Pacific Northwest are already taking measures to reduce the amount of dust created when tilling their lands. A style of tillage, called the "undercutter method" has been one of the best management practices in the area. The purpose of tilling the soil is to help preserve fallow moisture during the summer months. The soil in the Columbia Plateau is particularly susceptible to wind erosion due to the small particle size of the soil. Undercutter tillage does not turn over the soil like other tillage methods. Thus, it leaves crop residue on the surface to help protect the soil from wind erosion.
The researchers measured dust particles, or wind erosion, using a portable wind tunnel. This tunnel was 24 feet long, 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. A fan was used to generate conditions like those naturally occurring in the fields. Their findings show that adding camelina or safflower into the crop rotation increased the chances of wind erosion late in the fallow cycle. Thus, their caution to farmers is to use techniques to preserve the soil.
"Even the undercutter method is too much tillage for fallow after oilseeds in the dry region," say the researchers. "No-till fallow, or planting another crop without a fallow year, is the answer for controlling blowing dust. "

ExperienceI would like to be a tutor because when I was in high school and a freshman in college, if someone had taken the time to teach me how to be a better student things would have been a lot easier for me. I also understand the aggravation and frustration of students when they don't understand the homework and lessons that the teacher is teaching them. Education is very important and can take you places when you apply yourself properly.
HobbiesI enjoy always learning new things, meeting new people, reading, listening to music, taking my son out exploring, riding the backroads, and whatever I can find that is relaxing. I enjoy working with people and helping them in any way that I possibly can. Currently I have a 2 year old and he's teaching me a lot when it comes to patience.

Lost EVERYTHING by using 'diskpart - clear'. Help??
Hi guys,
I am pretty sure I have lost everything and there is no way of getting back, but still I am reaching out to you all as a last resort. I am so depressed right now, I have lost so many important documents, along with pics and videos of my son. I know it's my own stupid fault though.
Long story short, I was preparing to install Windows 8 and decided to put all my data on a separate partition. I already had 2 other separate partitions filled with other data too. So I got to the start of the installation when I got the error message 'Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style'. I then looked up how to resolve this and mistakenly chose the method of using the Command Prompt and typing 'diskpart' > list disk > select disk 0 > clean. (I now know I should have entered convert mbr). After that I saw all the partitions I had created had disappeared, I tried to restart my computer but I can only assume my installation of windows 7 had gone too because it wouldn't start up, I got an error saying the was no boot disk or something like that. So I had to do a clean install of Windows 8.
I have tried using TestDisk and Find and Mount but with no luck. I'm pretty sure your replies are going to confirm my worst fears but I want to be absolutely sure there is nothing else I can do to recover what has been lost.
Thanks all.

Sad story that proves again how important backups and images are. If those files were precious for you and you did not back them up, you did it to yourself, The OS is easy to replace, but personal files are not.
Try the program SIW2 suggested. There is also Recuva. That may work because you did only a clean and not a clean all. That means all the data is still on the disk but the control records are wiped. That's where Recuva comes in.

This is what I will do.
Doing diskpart clean only writes zeros in the first sector ( more conventionally called as Sector 0)
In the case of a GPT disk sector 0 contains Protective MBR. And all GPT disks whether single partition or multiple partitions contain only the data highlighted in the following screenshot. ( Taken with Bootice Sector Edit.)
On a four partition GPT disk, I deliberately wrote all zeros in the first sector (as the OP did mistakenly) and lost my drive. Not initialised, online, Unallocated. Unfazed, Using bootice, Sector Edit I wrote the relevant data in the correct fields and saved it to the first Sector.
Populating the relevant fields:
Voila, I got back my disk. Doesn't take much time. Very few characters (28 to be specific) to type in and then hit save.
(Note: In OP's case he has to attach the drive as a second drive on a PC or put it inside an HDD enclosure and recover.He also says that he had gone ahead and installed Windows 8. What he did to install Windows 8 ( on the same drive ?) is not known. So I would think that taking out the drive and trying data recovery whether he wants to go with Partition Wizard/Recuva or this method is the best option. I only wish he had come here before installing Windows 8. May be I hurried to present this method , but this should be of help to anyone who has done this on an external drive.)

The Power of Crowdfunding: Mining Companies Now Compete With Startups for Crowdfunding Support
Thanks to the advancements of investing, more and more upstarts are becoming confident enough to launch their new products and services to the world. By getting $5 – $10 from those who can commit, a business that had no way of getting funds from traditional means during the 90s can now get the funding they need through crowdfunding. Usually, getting monetary support from people all over the world via crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo only apply to startups that have no backing from stockholders. However, today, the old mining industry seems to be looking at crowdfunding to get the support they need for operations.
The mining industry is much different from a regular business that only needs a capital and workspace to operate. Miners need to secure a lot of permits in order to prove to the country they're operating in that they're following safety procedures, given the hazardous nature of the business. The environmental impact of mining and current low prices of gold are what keep miners from getting the backing they need from investors.
Crowdfunding projects are still in their early stages so there's not much data to show whether or not they can become successful. So far, there's only one crowdfunding project related to mining that showed tremendous promise. Planetary Resources, a company that plans to mine ores from Asteroids in the future, was able to acquire over $1.5 million in just 30 days for its space telescope project. In Canada, the KlondikeStrike Canada platform was launched in order to help people invest in mining companies that offer opportunities in the Exempt Market.
Gold is a very important commodity in the investment world. Germany, the second largest gold holder in the world next to the U.S., has a solid economy thanks to its vast reserves of the yellow metal. Gold today costs around $1,300 per ounce and if the country decides to cash in all of its reserves, it would be able to support its economy independently for many decades. Gold, in short, is one of cornerstones of a powerful nation.
Looking at crowdfunding for support may be a good step from miners. By being presented at kickstarter sites that people from all walks of life visit on a regular basis, mining firms are opening themselves to more potential markets.

Orchids are garden and house plants widely grown for their exquisite flowers and often intricately patterned foliage. Some orchids, given the proper care, will bloom repeatedly. Silver or grey bugs in the soil around your orchid indicate a problem.
Types of Pests
The Bois du Val soft scale -- a tiny, pale grey insect -- infests all parts of an orchid from its roots to its buds. Large numbers of the pest may surface as a solid covering on parts of the plant. Greyish-pink orchid mealybugs (Pseudococcus dendrobiorum) secrete a white waxy substance that helps conceal their infestations among an orchid's roots. These insects infest cymbidium, phalaenopsis, pholidota, promatocalpum and ascoglossum orchid species. Scales and mealybugs feed on orchid tissue fluids.
Scale Control
Dissolve soap shavings in warm water and thoroughly wash your orchid with the soapy solution. Repeat every other day for a month. Observe the orchid for reinfestations for another month, while separating it from other plants.
Mealy Bug Control
Dispose of severely infected orchids. Remove light mealy bug infestations with an alcohol-saturated swab. Wash the plant with a cloth or brush dipped into a solution of 2 tsp of liquid dish detergent in 1 gallon of warm water.

Chinese couple, 2 Pinoys nabbed for P12-M shabu
Posted by DES TAN at Saturday, September 22, 2012
MANILA, Philippines - A Chinese couple and their two alleged Filipino cohorts were arrested in a buy-bust operation in Quezon City that resulted in the seizure of at least P12.6 million worth of shabu Thursday night. Quezon City Police District (QCPD) director Chief Superintendent Mario de la Vega identified the suspects as Ong Kieng Yok, alias Yang, and his lover Mao Yuaning, 49, and their companions Somagana Bocare, 26, and Manan Jalal, 33. De la Vega said the suspects were peddling the illegal drugs in bulk and even asked the arresting police officers to be "consignees" and sell the contraband in retail. Records showed that Mao arrived from Hubei, China as a tourist on Sept. 14. Senior Inspector Roberto Razon, head of the QCPD's anti-illegal drugs special operations task group, said a disgruntled Chinese cohort of the couple informed them of the suspects' illegal drug trade. According to De la Vega, the Chinese informant, who was fluent in Filipino, approached them on Sept. 19. Undercover policemen managed to close a drug deal with the suspects for a kilo of shabu. Police officers then set up a drug sting in front of a hotel along Banawe Road and arrested the suspects shortly after they accepted the P650,000 marked money from the poseur buyers. When apprehended, the suspects yielded approximately another kilo of shabu. - By Reinir Padua

Flow project managed the North Shore City Strategic Corridor Study, which brought together a variety of stakeholders including various disciplines from North Shore City Council, transport planners and land use planners.
The project included significant research into the topic of context sensitive design for roading corridors, with the resulting document providing a future vision of transport and land use vision for all the strategic transport corridors on the North Shore.
This vision was the result of an integrated planning approach that included transport, land use, social, community, recreational, stormwater, waste water and economic objectives and goals for the corridor. The document also included a process to implement Corridor Management Plans, as well as a toolbox of design guidelines and standards.

"Catholics lump them along with all evangelicals as heretics. Lutheran? Mormon? Its all out there somewhere in hell to them."
Wrong. If a Catholic tells you that, tell them to take it up with the Pope.
It follows that these separated churches and Communities, though we believe they suffer from defects, are deprived neither of significance nor importance in the mystery of salvation. In fact the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as instruments of salvation, whose value derives from that fullness of grace and of truth which has been entrusted to the Catholic Church Pope B16, Dominus Iesus
And as far as LDS, Catholics don't accept their baptism as the LDS understanding of the Trinity isn't the same, while with all nonCatholic Christians it is. Which seems reasonable to me.
As far as Christian faiths claiming that another isnt Christian, theres a vocal minority of nonCatholic Christians who go beyond thinking the Catholic Church is wrong on many grave things to thinking Catholics arent Christians. FR actually banned some of the things produced from this wackadoo-ism, and they didn't come from LDS.
That's a graciously intended gesture, to be sure. Whether it is positioned to be generally accepted theology in the Catholic church is another question. That was not an ex cathedra remark was it?

If you've been doing business online lately (or are a starting an online business) you most likely came across some of this:
"The secrets to creating a multi-million dollar business" or "How to build a 6 (or even 7!) figure business in one year!" or "How to become an overnight success" and "Learn from the top experts in the world!"
Big claims, bold statements and grand promises coming from self proclaimed gurus.
Frankly, I think it's time to bust some of these myths…
About the so-called experts…
Maybe it's my (rebellious) capricorn personality, but I believe that there's only one 'expert' that really matters: me.
I'm the expert when it comes to trusting what's best for me and my business. Not some self proclaimed guru.
Because I have access to the wisest advisor of all : my inner Goddess.
(And I'm here to remind you that you too can access this divine inner guidance.)
Does it mean that I don't seek guidance once in a while?
Absolutely not. I regularly take courses, workshops, trainings and invest in high quality online programs. I also work with coaches, a Tarot master, mentors and amazingly talented people who are excellent at what they do because I believe that investing in myself and in my business is crucial to my success. It's what enables me to learn, grow, and make leaps in my business.
But ultimately, once I've gathered the data, I want to think for myself, follow my intuition and make my own decisions.
Tweet: "You have access the the wisest advisor of all: your inner guidance."
About the secrets to creating a multi-million dollar business…
There are no secrets. Stop believing that shit.
Calling something a 'secret' is a marketing tactic. It's used to make you believe they (the 'experts') know more than you. It's a hook, and it works.
Yes, there are important things you must know in order to build a successful business. But that's no secret.
When I look at multi-million dollar businesses & successful entrepreneurs, I don't see a 'secret to success'. I see a burning desire to be of service, I see passion, determination, courage, risk taking, unwavering dedication, focus, resilience, creativity and consistent action.
Apply the same dedication to anything you put your mind and heart to, and you will eventually succeed.
If you stick with it long enough, it'll start paying off and maybe you'll even make a few millions if that's your goal.
About building a 6 (or even 7) figure business…
Building a 6 or even 7 figure business from scratch? In one year?
Highly unlikely.
The next time someone makes such a huge promise as "teaching you how to build a 6 or 7 figure business" (in a year no less) look under the hood of their business.
Are they really making the money they're claiming? Are they generating millions yet still operating in the red or are they actually making profits?
I've made over a million dollars with my retail business but I'm not a millionaire. (Not yet.) 😉
Let's say that these 'experts' have built a multi-million dollar business in a year, take a really close look at their past experience; do they have years of prior business or marketing experience? 'Cause 10 or 15 years of experience under your belt may very well eventually turn into a 6 or 7 figure business.
In other words, it may look like they've built a million dollar business in a year but that's not really the case now, is it?
Which brings me to overnight success…
You know those Superstars that are on everyone's radar these days?
It may look like they're enjoying overnight success, but it most likely didn't happen that way.
Behind that 'overnight success' there are countless hours -probably even years- of dedicated work. There's also resilience and the courage to get back up -over and over again- after the smack downs, the challenges and the failures.
So the next time an expert wants to sell you on a promise that seems a little far-fetched, I'd like to invite you to look deeper…
Look deeper into the promise and see how it feels. Look behind the words of what is being said to get a sense of what is true and what isn't.
But most of all, look deep within yourself.
Because it's there that you'll find the most qualified ally in your success. She's the expert-within who truly knows what's best for you and she'll always lead you to your highest good.
The Intuitive Leadership Academy is open: are you coming?
The Academy is your opportunity to make friends with your own inner expert (your inner CEO) to create a thriving business and an extraordinary life.

DJ gig: FORMA Design.Build
I played music at the showroom opening of FORMA Design.Build, a very cool home design studio specializing in custom, hand-made work in the European style. The event was open to the public and a lot of fun, with lots of cool things to look at, including the photography of Gusmano Cesaretti. The showroom is right next to Silverlake's popular Red Lion tavern, so there was a lot of hipster foot traffic mixed in with the highfalutin-types. Probably 100 people at the most.
A great success i think, and the patrons and management complimented me several times for my selections, which was a relief because I was just playing whatever I felt like that might also fit the ambience. As you'll see in the setlist below, I definitely indulged myself.

New Delhi, India (PressExposure) November 20, 2009 -- In a recent survey report it has been found that 50% of the purchase done by consumers is based upon impulses. Now if we go to question as to what is impulse shopping we will find out that impulse shopping is nothing but shopping under the influence of advertisement. Such finding very clearly justifies the huge amount of money spent by investors on media marketing and advertising.
The most traditional methods of advertising products and services is perhaps through the print media. Print advertising lacks the gloss factor that electronic media provides but in a country like India where the electronic media only manages to reach just about 30% of the total population print advertising has a reach almost double that amount.
Another traditional method of advertisement that has once again come back in the market in the recent past is radio advertising. The advantage of radio advertising is that this medium is not technology dependent neither it is a costly investment. Unlike print media it does not require any literally knowledge and can be accessed by the huge rural population of India. However with private investors joining the radio market the urban crowd has also started to rediscover the beauty of this beautiful medium of entertainment and communication.
After the radio and newspaper television is the most preferred medium of advertisement not only in India but also around the entire world. Television and cable TVâs are available in most of Indian villages. The visual impact created by television advertising is more profound than radio or newspapers. It appeals both to the eyes and ears. The excitement in seeing famous personalities endorsing various products also gives television advertising an extra edge.
Besides this usual form of advertisements there is also other form of outdoor advertising which includes, banners, hoarding s, posters, billboards etc. Outdoor advertising is primarily aimed at people from all sections of the society. These advertisements are placed at strategic locations at important junctures around the city. Outdoor advertisements are necessarily very glossy and eye catching in nature because their success depends upon the attention they can draw from target customers. The latest trend in advertising is airport advertising. Airport advertising is meant for a very niche audience mainly from the elite class business customers. It mainly comprises of advertisements through plasma televisions in airport lounges. Various glow signs, product billboards and sometimes the product itself in showcases at the airport terminal.
This advertising network has created a bridge to collaborate and win peoples mind set. Without proper and efficient advertising network itâs difficult to survive and coexist.

Tzedakah Resources for Responding to Disaster: Hurricane Sandy
By now, everyone knows that Hurricane Sandy ravaged homes and livelihoods throughout the Tri-State area and around the world in countries like Haiti. Our thoughts are with all those who have been affected by the terrible storm. What's inspiring, however, is that individuals and communities are coming together to show their support, giving their time—and their money—to help people recover.
This week, Jewish Teen Funders Network released an incredible resource, "The Aftermath and Recovery: Superstorm Sandy" to help teen philanthropy foundations talk about how to effectively respond to disaster.
The guide includes "initial information about the extent and effects of Superstorm Sandy, which hit the New York Metropolitan area on October 29, 2012, tips for effective grantmaking after a natural disaster and links to educational materials and Jewish texts related to disaster relief," as described in the Network's newsletter announcing the resource.
We here at American Jewish World Service are proud to have resources from Where Do You Give? included in the guide. We hope that they will be valuable for anyone who wants to get involved.
Thank you to Jewish Teen Funders Network for this wonderful resource!

Summary: He knew she wouldn't recognize him, not at first. It hardly mattered. He had been ordered to retrieve her so he would. Retrieve the Chosen, retrieve Colette... Nothing else matter
Acknowledgements: To my dear friend, Freakyanimegal. I assure you, without a doubt this story would have never happened if it wasn't for her. It started out as nothing but an idea and it flourished under her persistent nagging for me to write more and many hours of swapping ideas and developing the characters. I wrote it, but she literally fed me the ideas and encouragement for months to create this story. Thank you, Freaky.
Hope you all enjoy.

Chapter 1:
Seven years had passed since the small company, that had strived to bring down Cruxis, disbanded and vanished, slinking into the shadows in an attempt to reorganize themselves. They were like slivers embedded in the tip of the finger, wiggling their way deeper and deeper under the skin. If they weren't dislodged soon, they could pose a problem.
However, only one of them remained the most important. The young female Chosen. She was the only one that never made an appearance. The only one that seemed to have vanished completely. It was unconceivable, at first, to think she would remain in hiding for so long without even an attempt to aid her companions and therefore, Yggdrasill was content to wait. However, with each passing year, he grew more irritated, more frustrated with her unexplained absence. Desians had watched her family, her companions were followed, and save for a brief glimpse or whisper, nothing was ever revealed. Therefore, Yggdrasill had sent him.
Russet eyes scanned the dark trees, watching for the movement they had detected earlier. It hadn't been all that difficult to locate her. A challenge, perhaps, but a simple one when thought about. It was an asset, he supposed, to have had a closer relationship with the Chosen than any other in Cruxis had, but it came as a personal liability as well. He had figured out her pattern relatively quickly, but even then she still managed elude him.
She knew she was being followed and she covered her trail. He had to admit it was impressive how much she appeared to have changed in just a few years. It seemed her naive innocence had finally been disrupted by the cruel reality of the real world.
Perhaps the loss of Lloyd Irving played a role in her maturity. It was foolish to think it wouldn't affect her. Perhaps that is why Yggdrasill had sent him, a sense of familiarity to draw her in and make retrieving her easier. Personally, he knew it wouldn't work. She would hesitate at first, but then she would resist.
There, he saw it. A flash of blonde hair. He followed swiftly, his feet silent upon the ground. He could hear her shallow breathing as she paused, listening as well. He didn't stop, but followed the slight inhales. She moved again and he quickened his pace. He was surprised at her wariness, though he supposed it came from being hunted for nearly seven years. It was reasonable to think the others would've helped her. Sheena Fujibayashi was a likely candidate for stealth, though it amazed him that the young girl's clumsiness could be 'cured', for the lack of a better word.
Her pace seemed to have slowed and he did as well, stepping carefully as she came into his view, but remaining hidden himself. Her back was to him and she was leaning against a tree, most likely resting. He frowned as he studied her. It seemed that the Chosen had forsaken her white church garments, adopting traveller's clothes instead. Brown pants, a simple white shirt fastened by a sash and her long blonde hair pulled back in a messy braid. Her charkams were hanging off her back and a small dagger sheathed at her waist. It surprised him somewhat, but he supposed that it was only natural that should would try to fit in with the general society.
Watching her for a second longer, he detached himself from the shadows and strode towards her. It was almost too easy. She didn't even notice his presence and all he had to do was walk up behind her, disarm her charkams and grab her arm. It irritated him that no one else was capable of completing this simplistic assignment and he was left to finish it.
His foot brushed against some foliage, rustling the leaves slightly intentionally, but the Chosen still didn't move and he refrained from sighing. Perhaps he had been too quick to praise her assumed skill for stealth and survival. Perhaps just small miracles kept her safe for so long.
He was right behind her, when she whipped around, charkams already gripped in her hands and she slashed out at him. Stepping back swiftly, he avoided a chest wound, eyes widening in surprise at her speed and accuracy. There was no hesitation as the Chosen flicked her wrist, releasing one of her charkams spinning directly for his neck. She twisted immediately after and attempted a diagonal slash at his chest again. A sword was in his hand instantly, easily deflecting the first charkam and causing it to careen and embed itself into a tree. His sword flicked upwards again and blocked her second attack with just as little effort, causing her to jump to the side to keep up her defensive.
Blonde hair curved around her cheeks and hung over her eyes as she glared at him. It was both amusing and unnerving to see those once cheerful, blue eyes so aggressive. However, the Chosen left little time to linger on those thoughts as she rushed him again. Her charkam sang as it sped through the air at an insane speed, but its aim was too high and he ducked his head to dodge it only to find a dagger thrusting towards him. Caught off guard, he stepped back, and his hand shot up, grabbing her wrist, the small blade inches from his chest.
She released a grunt of frustration and tried to push the dagger towards his chest, but despite her angelic strength, he held her back.
Seeing her attempts futile, she released the blade and yanked her hand back, or tried to. His fingers enclosed around her wrist tightly to prevent her from pulling away. Her struggles stopped for a second and her foot kicked out catching him in the side of the knee. He grunted in shock as his knee involuntarily gave out and his grip loosened enough for her to pull free.
Before she could turn around and run, he swung his sword around, slamming the flat of his blade against the back of her legs. She shrieked as she crashed to the ground with a thud. She instantly went to push herself up, but stopped as he pointed the blade at her neck. "I wouldn't if I were you, Chosen."
Breathing shakily as she stared at the sword point, she turned her frightened eyes up at him. He merely stared down at her, waiting for the reaction that would undeniably come once she recognized his face.
She blinked in disbelief and pushed herself up slightly with her elbows as she stared at him. He removed the sword knowing that it wasn't necessary now that she recognized him and he wasn't particularly fond aiming it at her either.
He sheathed his sword, staring down at her flatly, as she quickly scrambled to her feet, staring at him in complete shock. "It has been a while, Chosen." A lace of sadness slipped into his voice as he watched her.
She stared blankly at him before tears filled her eyes and she flung herself at him, throwing her arms around him. "Lloyd!" she cried. "You're alive! You're-you're—Lloyd!"
His eyes widened and his arms lifted, caught off guard by the embrace. He knew it would have been one of the possible reactions, but he hadn't been expecting it. If anything he had been expecting anger and fear...
Her face was buried his chest, clutching him rather tightly and Lloyd frowned and pushed her back by the shoulders. "Chosen..."
She looked up at him a smile spread across her face though tears spilled from her eyes, smearing her dusty cheeks. "Lloyd, I am so happy you are alive. Everyone thought you were dead—where have you been? What happened—?" her words cut off suddenly and he stared down at her as she slowly frowned, realization hitting her. "Why did you call me Chosen?" His expression didn't change as she took a step back. "Why were you fighting me?"
"Self-defence. I have no intention of killing you." Lloyd closed his eyes. "I need you to come with me."
Confusion filled her face and Lloyd realized how much older she looked. More mature. He supposed it had been seven years...
"Lloyd, what are you talking about? Go with you where? Where have you been?" she seemed upset and frustrated.
He stepped towards her, staring down at her. He was much taller than she was now, he realized. Nearly a head taller. "Derris Kharlan. I am to take you Lord Yggdrasill."
Not waiting for a response, he reached down, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her behind him, walking back through the trees. For a minute, there was no resistance and he walked slowly, knowing the shock of his response would wear off in moments.
It did.
"No! Lloyd, stop! Let go of me!" She shouted at him, trying to tug her arm free. Lloyd tightened his grip and kept moving. "Lloyd, let me go, now! Please!"
"Lord Yggdrasill is tired of waiting, Chosen. Another has been born, but it will take several more years before she would be ready and you are the closest match to—"
"Stop it, Lloyd! Listen to yourself! You aren't one of them! Let me go!" she was clawing at his hands, but he didn't even flinch. In fact, he refused to look back and he didn't reply.
Suddenly something crashed into him and caused him to stumble. As he straightened, Colette used her free hand and pounded on his chest. "Lloyd, please!" her voice sounded strange and Lloyd suddenly realized she was crying. "Please, don't take me! I don't want to die, Lloyd. I don't want to die. I just want to go home and stop running. I want all this to be over."
"Chosen..." he frowned and she gripped his vest, before falling to her knees, her one arm stretched up, still caught in his grip.
Her other hand clutched the ground and tears dripped onto her pants. "I've missed you and waited for you. We tried to fight back, but we weren't strong enough. Then everyone started saying you were dead and—and I—I didn't want to believe it! But it had been so long, I..."
Lloyd stared down at her, his eyes narrowed, but her hair hid her face. She choked and sobbed, her shoulders shaking, releasing seven years of pain and hidden emotions and Lloyd just watched in silence. After a few minutes, her cries stopped, but she didn't move. Her shoulders shuddered with each breath and finally she spoke, her voice shaky, but firm. "I can't go with you Lloyd. I can't. Not this time. Please don't make me. Please."
Lloyd closed his eyes, feeling the tremors through her arm as she cried. He frowned and turned around, releasing her hand as he walked away. He shouldn't have done this...
Colette's head shot up and stared at his back. "Lloyd—"
"Don't try and fight next time. Just run," he said over his shoulder.
"Lloyd, wait! Don't leave! Tell me what happened! I want to help you!" Colette reached for him, still on her knees.
"Just get out of here, Colette," Lloyd sighed as he disappeared into the trees.
