I made these colorful little cakes for one of my favorite Preschool boys. He's going to be the hit of the "Wind-up toy party" with these fun little favors! I made these with a new vanilla cupcake recipe I've adapted from Betty Crocker. The secret to making them moist and fluffy is adding just a little bit of milk. Topped with my favorite creamy chocolate frosting and of course confetti and toppers. Simple and delicious!

Nina's Triple Chocolate Cookies with Sea Salt Topping
Today I baked these AMAZING cookies, recipe courtesy of my mama. Three chocolates are combined: bittersweet, semi-sweet, and white chocolate. The best part about these is the surprise topping - sea salt. It adds a little salty to the delectably sweet. The recipe is as follows.
Bake. Eat. LOVE!
Nina's Triple Chocolate Cookies
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 large yolks
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 ounces white chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips)
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove pan from the heat, add the bittersweet chocolate, then set aside until melted.
Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla together in a medium bowl, then slowly whisk in melted chocolate. Stir in the flour mixture to make loose dough. Fold in the chips. Cover with plastice wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. (I didn't refrigerate and it still came out great!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form dough into balls (or scoop with a spoon) and put on the prepared baking sheets leaving a couple inches between the cookies. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake until outside is crackly, but the center is still moist, about 13-15 minutes. Cool on a rack. ENJOY!

Sugar Mama's Big Event!
Today was Sugar Mama's biggest event yet. I baked 300 cupcakes along with some fabulous Oreo truffles for the Shopping Extravaganza at the Outlets at Castle Rock. I wish I could have made 1000 because they were a huge hit. It was an amazing day and I couldn't have pulled it off without the help of great friends and family (Props to Colette and Nelli!). A special thanks to Aunt Lisa who made this exposure for Sugar Mama possible! Here are the pictures from the event. Can't wait to see what future orders and events hold!

Magazine / Amazing Stories
Amazing Stories was the first magazine devoted solely to science fiction. It was founded in 1926 by Hugo Gernsback (in whose honor the Hugo Awards are named) and published continuously until 1995. A revival attempt in 1998 was unsuccessful, as was a second in 2004, and the final issue was published in 2005.During the 1980s, the title was licensed for a Genre Anthology TV series by Steven Spielberg: Amazing Stories. Unfortunately the magazine didn't capitalize on the TV show's publicity.Scans of the original magazine's run can be found in the the Internet Archive.

On Saturday, a United Arab Emirates high-speed ferry was struck by a guided missile fired by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Initially, the Emiratis only claimed that an "incident" had taken place at sea, and that no injuries had been sustained.
However, new images show extensive damage done to the catamaran-style hull. It's hard to imagine the crew sustained no injuries when examining the wreckage left behind.
Here are the photos:

Effective Date: March 1st, 2013 MODELWIRENETWORK.COM PRIVACY POLICY
Casting Networks, Inc. ("we", "Casting Networks", "us" or "our") has developed this Privacy Policy which details important information regarding the use and disclosure of user information collected on the website ModelWireNetwork.com, owned by Casting Networks, and any successor website (the "WMN Site") and other interactive properties and applications enabling you to access the MWN Site (the MWN Site and other interactive properties are collectively referred to herein as the "MWN Applications"). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other website (including ModelWire.com or any other site operated by Casting Networks, which are subject to a different privacy policy) or any offline contact between Casting Networks and any other company or offline contact between you and Casting Networks or between you and other registered members of the MWN Site or MWN Applications. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect the personal information of users of the MWN Applications. By accessing, using, registering with, or providing personal information to the MWN Applications, you explicitly accept, without limitation or qualification, (i) the collection, use, storage and transfer (including international transfer) in the manner described in this Privacy Policy (as amended from time to time) and (ii) the Terms of Use hereby incorporated by reference.
THIS PRIVACY POLICY AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THE LAW. Participating in the MWN Applications means that you will be sharing information about yourself with other users of the MWN Applications. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access or use the MWNApplications or provide us with personal information.
The MWN Applications and related services provide a range of content hosting and communication services to models, photographers, makeup artists, fashion designers, hair stylists, fashion stylists and other artists (collectively, "Artists") so that they may advance their careers by making connections, sharing information, gaining experience, and finding opportunities for work and/or representation.
There are practical considerations relating to the need for other users of the MWN Applications to review certain personal information about you in order to contact you for networking purposes.
By registering and creating a profile on the MWN Site, you understand that you are affirmatively choosing to post personally identifiable information about yourself including, but not limited to, images, display name, member type, sizes and stats, gender, city, state, country, and whatever information you may enter into the "About Me" section. You further acknowledge and agree that such personally identifiable information may be accessible to other members of the MWN Applications, the general public who might visit the MWN applications might be able personally identify and locate you, and that you are aware of any and all risks inherent in so doing. Your information may also be viewable outside of the MWN Applications via web search engines, which are outside of our control.
We are very concerned about the safety and privacy of all of our members, particularly individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. We do allow users between the ages of 13 and 17 ("Youth") to register but do not allow Youth to access the MWN Applications or post a profile without their parent's or legal guardian's (the "Responsible Adult's") permission. During registration, Youth are required to enter the Responsible Adult's email address. The Responsible Adult will receive an email giving them the option to accept our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy on behalf of the Youth. Accepting the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on behalf of the Youth shall act as permission for that Youth to participate in the MWN Applications ("Permission") and activate the Youth's account.Once we have received Permission from the Responsible Adult, Youth members may monitor and modify their profiles posted on the MWN Applications.
We reserve the right at any time to require verification of a Responsible Adult and evidence of the Responsible Adult's relationship with the Youth. If we become aware that an account has been established for a Youth without a Responsible Adult's permission, we will take steps to terminate the account and remove any corresponding information.
Youth and Adult Databases
Youth members are segregated into a separate database ("Youth Database") and are not allowed to interact with Adult members, which have their own, separate database ("Adult Database"). Once a Youth member reaches the age of 18, his or her account, including the corresponding profile, will be moved to the Adult Database upon written notice and s/he will no longer have access to the Youth Database or any of its members.
If you select "I am seeking representation" under your profile preferences, you are opting-in to allow a limited version of your profile (as defined below and herein known as "Limited Profile") to be searchable by agents and managers (collectively "Artist Representatives") who are members of our sister site, modelwire.com, so that you may you may be scouted for representation (this functionality herein known as "Scouting Service").
The Limited Profile displays your 5 first photos, display name, member type, sizes and stats, gender, city, state, country, and "About Me" section.
Your first name, last name, email address, IM name, and phone number are not displayed on your Limited Profile and therefore are not available to Artist Representatives through ModelWireNetwork.com or any third party.
All correspondence between you and Artist Representativesshould occur through our online messaging system to avoid sharing your personal contact information.
You may opt out of the Scouting Service at any time by changing the representation preference under your profile preferences, but information that has been shared prior to doing so will still remain available to Artist Representatives who downloaded that information prior to your opting out of the Scouting Service. We have no control over how artist representatives use your information.
Casting Networks may modify, supplement or replace this Privacy Policy from time to time, and may do so at its sole discretion, consistent with applicable data protection laws and rules. Any revisions to our Privacy Policy will be posted here with the "Effective Date" posted at the top of the policy. Any revised policy will supersede and replace previous privacy policies, effective as of the date on which it is posted. Your use of the MWN Applications after any revised Privacy Policy has been posted represents and confirms your consent and agreement to all such changes. Any use of the information we collected before a revision will be used in accordance with the terms of the privacy policy in effect when the information was obtained.

We may collect different types and combinations of information on the MWN Applications including personal information, financial information, demographic information, log data, IP address or mobile device identifier, and aggregate data as each is defined below. Sometimes we collect combinations of all these types of information. In each case, it is indicated on the MWN Applications whether any personal or demographic data must be provided for you to access and use the requested service.
Information Obtained From You
We collect personal information directly from you when you register and create a profile that may be used to identify you or any other person to whom the information may relate.
The collection and use of your personal information may be necessary for us to provide you with a positive and customized experience on the MWN Applications, to provide you with a product or service, to communicate with you, or maintain our relationship with you. We do not collect your personal information unless you or, if you are a Youth, the Responsible Adult chooses to provide it to us.

You expressly consent to our communicating with you about our Services using the Contact Information you provided to us. You also attest that you have the legal authority over any telephone number you provide to us and can provide us with the authorization to contact you. This means we may contact you, in person or by recorded message, by e-mail, telephone and/or mobile telephone number (including use of automated dialing equipment), text (SMS) message, or any other means of communication that your wireless or other telecommunications device may be capable of receiving.
We ask that you do not enter personal information into a profile, except in the fields specifically designated for that information.
Information Collected Through Technology
In addition to any personal or other information that you choose to submit to us, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies such as cookies, pixel tags and web beacons, browser analysis tools, and web server logs ("Information Collection Technologies") to collect information from you.
As you use the MWN Applications, your browser and devices communicate with servers operated by us, our business partners, and service providers to coordinate and record the interactivity and fill your requests for services, content and information.
We may collect many different types of information with our Information Collection Technologies such as information from the computer or mobile devices ("Devices") you use to access our MWN Applications, your operating system type or Device model, browser type, domain, and other system settings, the language your system uses and the region and country and time zone of your device ("Region Location"),unique IP address or Device identifier ("Device Identifier") and information about the website you were visiting before you came to the MWN Applications and the website you visit after you leave our MWN Applications, if this information is supplied to us by your browser(collectively, "Usage Information"). We may use this Usage Information for a variety of purposes, including enhancing or otherwise improving the MWN Applications. Some of the Information Collection Technologies we use are:
Cookies: A cookie is a small data file created on your Device when you use your browser to visit the MWN Site to keep track of your movements, help you resume where you left off, and remember your registered login and other customizable preferences. We use both "session cookies" and "persistent cookies". Session cookies are created temporarily in your browser's subfolder while you are visiting the MWN Site. Once you leave the MWN Site, the session cookie is deleted. Persistent cookies are saved in your browser's subfolder and are activated again when you revisit the MWN Site. A persistent cookie remains in the browser's subfolder for the duration period set within the cookie's file. You may manage how your browser handles cookies and related technologies by adjusting its privacy and security settings. Browsers are different, so refer to instructions related to your browser to learn about cookie-related and other privacy and security settings that may be available.
Pixel Tags and Web Beacons: Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on certain pages of the MWN Site or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions. When you access these pages or open email messages, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action to us or our service providers. These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and improve our web pages and promotions.
Embedded Scripts: We also use embedded scripts, which are programming codes designed to collect information about your interactions with the MWNApplications, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the MWNApplications, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Browser Analysis Tools: Browser analysis tools collect technical data about your browser type, version and configuration to improve stability and customize your experience on the Site.
Web Server Logs: Web server logs collect a variety of information about a user's interaction with the Site including, but not limited to, their referring site, browser and operating system, what pages are being viewed and how frequently.
In many cases, the information we collect using Information Collection Technologies is used in non-identifiable ways, without any reference to Personal Information. For example, we may use information we collect about MWNApplications users to optimize our services and understand traffic and usage patterns. In other cases, we may associate the information we collect using cookies and related technologies with Personal Information. Whenever we associate Usage Information with Personal Information, we will treat it as personal information.
Information We Collect from Third Parties
We acquire information from other trusted sources to update or supplement the information you provided or we collected automatically, such as information to validate or update your address or other demographic and lifestyle information. We use this information to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, to target our communications so that we can inform you of products, services and offers that may be of interest, and for internal business analysis or other business purposes.
Online Correspondence and Communications
Subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, we may collect and store your online correspondence that you send to us and the content of online communications exchanged between you and other members using the tools available on the MWN Applications.
All comments, feedback or materials submitted by you to us, including feedback, testimonials, images, reviews, questions, comments, suggestions or ideas (collectively, "Feedback"), shall be received and treated by us on a non-confidential and unrestricted basis. Casting Networks will be free to use, display, perform, distribute, copy, adapt, and promote, in any medium now known or later developed, without compensation to you, the Feedback along with all ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques or methodologies contained in such Feedback, for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, developing, marketing and selling products and services incorporating such Feedback.

We use your information, subject to applicable laws, in the following ways:
· to allow you to register and create a membership account and profile;
· to deliver or provide a product or service you have requested;
· to enable you to provide us with Feedback, to contact us and for us to contact you;

The MWN Applications are designed for networking, which enables third parties to see your profile and to contact you through the MWN applications. Information in your profile may be used for networking with other members or may be visible to other members who are using the MWN Applications. In addition, portions of your profile (but not your contact information) may be made accessible to visitors to the MWN Applications, depending on the privacy setting you choose as explained in the section "Privacy Settings for Profiles".
Please remember that any information you disclose while participating in any interactive public forums accessed through the MWN Applications ("Interactive Services"), such as a personal web page you host with us or placed in the our publically available searchable database may be accessed, used, and stored by others around the world and we have no control over how those users may use your personally identifiable information.

Information about our users may also need to be disclosed in connection with a commercial transaction where we, or any one of our businesses, are seeking financing, investment, support or funding. In such transactions, personal information will be subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy in effect when the information was obtained.
We use Google Analytics' tools to better understand who is using the MWN Applications, how people are using the MWN Applications and how to improve the effectiveness of the MWN Applications and its content, and to help us serve more targeted advertising to you.

Find a property and agree a purchase price with the vendor
Our solicitors are licensed to convey property in both England and Wales, and the property purchases that we are able to assist with range from the purchase of residential or commercial property such as offices and shops, right through to land purchasing.
As a rule, we generally deal with property purchases of £350,000 and above, but if you happen to be purchasing an unusual property, for instance a hotel or farm, then don't hesitate to get in touch with us – we'll be more than happy to discuss your particular circumstances and assist you accordingly.
Contact us, give us a few details about yourself and the property you are interested in and we'll put you in touch with our solicitor
With your purchase finally secured, the estate agent selling the property will need the details of your conveyancing solicitor so that they can complete a memorandum of sale, an official document that keeps a record of the agreed price as well as the details of the buyer, vendor and their respective solicitors.
Buyers using a mortgage to secure their property will have to undertake the additional step of providing your lender or IFA with the details of the solicitors on both sides of the buying equation too.
Solicitors will start your purchase conveyance
Our solicitors will start your conveyance in the normal manner, in a process overseen and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. All you'll need to do is sign an engagement letter and provide documents to prove your identity and current address.
After that, if you have asked our solicitors to help with selling your property as well, they will move seamlessly onto that process as soon as the main purchase has been started.
Sit back and relax
The rest is up to us at this point. We'll work with the various teams involved in your property purchase and oversee the entire process, ensuring that each party has the documents and information that they need at a given stage, making sure that the purchase is completed quickly, without any hitches along the way – taking between 4 and 6 weeks on average. Further, all of our comprehensive tax plans are fully insured for extra piece of mind.
Speak to us
You can call us to discuss your purchase or ask a question. We can also talk you through our property tax planning process and charges.
Lines are open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00 (Tuesday and Thursday until 19:00) and Saturday from 09:00 to 13:00. Excluding Bank Holidays.
We'll contact you
Leave your details with us and one of our team of tax experts will phone you back at a time to suit you.
"First class conveyancing, first class tax advice, friendly, knowledgeable team. You delivered on your promises and we're over the moon with both our new house and the saving we made. A big thank you to you and your team."– Mr Stockton, Manchester

I study memory using a combination of cognitive psychology, neuroimaging, and computational modeling methods. I am particularly interested in what factors makes some experiences more memorable than others and how these influences can manifest in future behavior, such as decision making. I also specialize in characterizing inter-individual differences in brain morphology.
Memory does not serve as a veridical recording of prior experiences that can be 'played back.' Instead, many factors can lead some experiences to be more memorable than others. For instance, some experiences are more valuable in informing future behavior and should be selectively prioritized. Such experiences include those that automatically evoke reward-, emotion-, or motor-related processes. Biases in memory are particularly relevant if they manifest themselves in future behavior, such as decision making.

Structural MRIs make it apparent that there are both clear inter-individual differences in brain structure, while also general population consistencies. Examining brain morphology can serve as a complementary neuroimaging approach to fMRI that is not influenced by some systematic biases (e.g., age-related changes in vasculature) while also potentially directly providing novel insights into brain-behavior relationships.

An important aspect of research is to improve our methodological rigor, along with asking more precise research questions. Through collaborations, I have also done work where my primary goal has been to improve the research methods themselves--either as the direct goal (e.g., developing a novel test of movement imagery) or indirectly (e.g., designing psychophysics stimuli; using formal model selection techniques to more precisely test research questions).

text: Vision Problems in the U.S. estimated the 2010 U.S. population with AMD to be nearly 2.1 million. This measure of AMD includes only those with advanced, vision threatening forms of AMD including geographic atrophy and choroidal neovascularization. The population with early stages of AMD was not included in the Vision Problems in the U.S. database. We project that the 2014 population is now 2.2 million. We estimate the current average age of AMD patients is 80 years old, the oldest of any of the included eye diseases. Thus, the increase of the population aged 80 and older will lead to rapid growth in the AMD population over the next 20 years, reaching 3.4 million in 2032 and 4.4 million by 2050. Whites and women are at higher risk for AMD, and will continue to dominate the total affected population with AMD.

Unanswered: Question.
Hello folks,
I run a phpBB community and an owner of another website approached me in an attempt to merge my forums with his website.
He will install phpBB and it will read the data base from my server, thus: any changes will happen on his behalf will be affected on my data base thus: my website will aswell.
So basically its just the process of integrating his website to be readable and accessable by mine so as he would be able to use it.
My question is: Is it possible to prevent him from actually moving the data base to his own website? In a way that he would copy them and could just discontinue and use my data base (stolen) and continue from there? Or is there a way to secure it? In such a way that he would be able to only read and do the normal commands such as post a reply, edit, delete etc...

Re: 1976 pawnee

- Do you know if the converter has a charging circuit, as not all of the older ones did. Saw it was an option on some models made by Converter Systems Inc. Should have dedicated charging wires, and maybe a separate 12V fuse. Ones without a charging circuit use the vehicle engine charging system. My 1976 Terry trailer doesn't even have a power converter! It is static in a park and I have to manually charge the battery... fortunately it is not used much on 12V.
If it has a charging circuit, does it work? Disconnect the battery cables and measure across them with a volt meter (DMM).
Is the battery able to be charged? If you have a working charging circuit, try to charge the battery with an external charger.
If both of these tests are OK, the next place to suspect is the battery-transformer switch, which will likely be in the converter enclosure. This chooses which power source will feed the coach 12V distribution circuits. It may be manual, or it may be a relay. If manual put it in the Battery position. If a relay, it is likely powered by 120V to automatically switch over to the converter 12V output when plugged in to 120V. If not plugged in it switches to battery source. You should hear a click when this happens. You could cycle the power source by switching on-off the converter main breaker, but that might mask the sound of the relay when this happens. Maybe too risky to touch the relay cover to detect the click as it has 120V wired to it. Be VERY careful when working around live 120V parts of the converter, and use nothing conductive!

I'm moving to Halifax in January, and I'm very excited to be going back to living in a thriving urban centre. Of course, with that kind of activity comes higher rent prices, which meant that this month, with our January 1st deadline fast approaching, I needed to sit down with our budget and figure out exactly how much we could afford to spend on our new apartment. Unfortunately, this isn't a straight forward task, and I needed to do a few calculations. Here's how I figured out how much we should spend on our new apartment:
How Much Should I Spend On Housing
When it comes to deciding how much we could afford to spend on housing, I turned to the Canadian personal finance expert I trust the most: Gail Vaz Oxlade. Gail has been writing about money longer than I've been a fully formed adult and I trust her advice. A quick google searched told me that Gail says no more than 35% of your net income (that's what you bring home) should go to housing costs, and this jives with what I've already learned.
The logic behind this rule of thumb is that by limiting the amount you spend on housing, you'll be free to use your money for saving, debt repayment, car payments, etc. This also helps guard you against emergencies, because housing is not a variable expense that you can cut if you lose your job. Having your housing costs take up just 35% of your net income is a good way to guard against catastrophes.
The 35% housing rule is part of a balanced budget, which looks like this:
Setting My Housing Budget
Normally, setting your ideal housing budget would be as simple as taking your monthly net income and multiplying it by 35%. But our situation is unique and that calculation won't work for us for a few reasons. First, my husband doesn't have a job lined up in Halifax yet, so we don't know what his net income is going to be, therefore we don't know what our net income is going to be.
In place of his actual income, I'm going to use a worst-case scenario income, which is very very low for someone of his age and skill level. I'm doing this because I want to know that even if he needs to work somewhere less than ideal for a few months before a better job comes along, we'll still be able to afford our apartment.
The second complication is that our budget doesn't look like the one in the image above. First, there's a section missing, and that's debt, because we don't have any. Debt makes up 15% of the budget above, and for us, that's 15% of wiggle room in our budget. Second, our transportation budget is much smaller because our car is paid for, and we both have bicycles. Instead of paying 15% towards transportation like the chart above, (if I use worst-case scenario income for my husband) we'll be paying closer to 7%. This frees up another 8% of wiggle room in our budget. That's a total of 23% of our budget that we can reallocate to there categories.
Finding an Apartment We Can Live With
Normally, I'd send that extra wiggle room directly into the savings section of the budget pie chart above, but once I started looking at apartments in Halifax, it became clear to me that I might want to repurpose some of that wiggle room for housing instead. I had some criteria for our apartment, and the places that met that criteria were a little more expensive than 35% of our net worst-case-scenario income. It came down to a classic struggle between wanting to save money, and wanting to find a place we'd be happy to live in for the next 3-5 years while saving for a house down payment, and growing our careers (I'm so done with moving).
Last weekend we went to Halifax and looked at seven different apartments. There were some big, gorgeous and expensive ones, some small, dark and cheap ones, and in the end we found the goldilocks of apartments: a brand new, two-bedroom place in a decent neighbourhood that had just enough drawbacks to make it affordable for us. The final cost with all expenses included? 40% of our worst-case-scenario income.
It's more than I would've liked to spend in a perfect world, but it'll work for us right now. We can absolutely afford it while still making our retirement contributions and saving for other goals, so I don't mind spending a little more than we technically should. I also didn't include any freelance income in my calculations, so I'll still have lots of side hustle cash coming in to make our savings goals for 2015 a reality.
We signed the lease this week, sent over our damage deposit, and have an official move-in date of January 1st! I'm so excited for this next chapter of our lives, especially now that this big hurdle is out of the way.
What percentage of your income do you spend on housing? I want to know!

I'm often asked this question by professionals who are new to the world of coaching and think it is counselling, preparing for examinations, teaching or worse – spoon feeding for results.
It's easy to find the definition of 'Coaching' on the internet. We all have our unique idea of what coaching is all about. To understand the work I do with clients to give results, here's The Karmic Ally Coaching Experience perspective Inspired by Moving Cheese:
Coaching with the Karmic Ally Coach is a co-creative partnership that helps you to identify the key area(s) of concern at the time of the engagement and create an empowering strategy and action plan that is authentic to your true self, maintains your integrity and enables you to "Move Your Cheese" from Point A to Point B in a faster, better and smarter manner. It is in accepting your call to a new adventure that starts the process of self-discovery leading to a holistic transformation resulting in an improvement in the quality of your personal and professional life.
In fact, I wrote a whole post on how Moving Cheese can positively improve our career life balance.

Can Moving Cheese Positively Improve Career Life Balance?
If you prefer more formal and detailed definitions, here's one provided by the International Coach Federation.
"Coaching is an on-going partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. Beginning with knowing the clients' desires – coaching uses reporting, exploring, and a consistent commitment to move the client forward to where he or she desires to be in life. Coaching accelerates the clients' progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are today and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow."
-International Coach Federation, ICF
Coaching is all about helping people get from where they are in their life to where they want to get to. If everyone is being honest with themselves, I think we could all do with improving an area or two of our lives.
But why don't people do anything about it?
Here's what I see.
Everyone knows what to do in life to become more successful but they don't do what they know. Here are 5 common barriers that I've observed.
This is where it is useful to have a Coach.
It is a Coach's job to help people get what they want in life in by breaking down the barriers that people impose on themselves by holding them accountable for their results.
The best analogy that I know of is that of a Personal Fitness Trainer.
When you go to a gym they will first ask you what your goals are: Losing weight? Build muscle? Build endurance? Etc.
They will then see where you are at with regards to your goal.
So for example, if you want to lose body fat they may ask you to take a body fat composition test that will measure your current levels of body fat; you may be asked to take a fitness test, asked what your current eating habits are etc.
After establishing exactly how much you want to lose and over what period of time you want to lose it the trainer will then devise a plan of action of what you must do in order to achieve your fat reduction goals.
Along the way your personal fitness trainer will encourage and motivate you, ask you questions about your motivations and any barriers that you face and will help you. The end goal of a trainer is to help you achieve your goals a lot quicker and more effectively than if you did it yourself.
A Coach does EXACTLY the same as a Personal Trainer but with areas of your life that are causing you concern or you know you need to change the status quo and do something about your situation but need support in making those changes.
How do you feel and deal with change?
I invite you to try out my short yet insightful quiz Fearing Change or Confident to Win Challenges. (Click on the preceding blue highlighted quiz title or on the image below to open a new window with instructions to access the quiz)
Now that you know my definition, click the link below to learn more about the results we'll create together.
What Do You Get From Hiring Me As Your Coaching
Coaching is not psychotherapy or counseling. It is not in the realm of healing although there are many healers who function as coaches too. As your chosen Karmic Ally & Coach, I can work alongside other therapies as long as the client is ready for coaching & willing to take action.
I believe the world would be a better place if high achieving professionals accepted setbacks and challenges to their careers as Wake Up Calls to embark on a Journey where their empowered course correcting actions create a New World Order that encompasses achieving their career aspirations & potential with authentic life balance.
Using a combination of intuition and analytical skills, I help my clients identify their real issues with exercises to still their mind and allow their inner feeling to emerge in a place of confidentiality and trust.
I work with driven, passionate, talented and ambitious professionals who've hit a speed breaker in their business or career create their desired breakthrough reclaiming control of their situation with customized strategies and tactics that work.
When my clients first come to me, they are not in a very happy place and need clarity about themselves and their chosen vocation. Their professional problems are playing havoc with other areas of their life. They know they need to take radical steps to change the status quo but they also know that they need support and accountability to get them their desired result.
I really get it, because at one point, I also experienced getting lost in my work rationalizing decisions that were detrimental to the other aspects of my life. I've struggled with and won battles of stress management, life balance and career decisions to emerge in a place where I can confidently say that I live my desired life according to my personal Manifesto and have created a business that provides me with a platform for my desired lifestyle and self-expression for myself. I want that for you too!
During a 14 day Product Challenge Vatsala was my online help person. If I hadn't had her to look at my product, give advise, share her knowledge on how to get courses or products up and running online, I wouldn't have been able to do it. So thank you once again Vatsala. You are a treasure.

A materials engineer, Alireza Sadeghi is an Assistant Professor of Manufacturing at University of Tehran's College of Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering. His research interests span a wide range of topics in physical and mechanical properties of light alloys and their manufacturing technologies. He focuses on questions such as: How we can build new alloys with higher performances? Where can we replace light alloys with other materials? and how can me make real parts out of these new developed alloys?
In light alloys, physical and mechanical properties are dependent to compositions, micro-structures and crystallographic textures. These parameters are controlled by alloy synthesis and subsequent thermo-mechanical processing. At Research Center for Advanced Light Alloys Technologies (RCALAT), Professor Sadeghi and his research team are working on processing of light alloys to enhance, control and optimize their properties.

A 2,300-year-old palace in Mexico's Valley of Oaxaca has been excavated by a team of researchers from the American Museum of Natural History.
Remnants of a royal palace in southern Mexico, dating to between around 2,300 and 2,100 years ago, come from what must have been one of the Americas' earliest large, centralized governments, researchers say.
Excavations completed in 2014 at El Palenque uncovered a palace with separate areas where a ruler conducted affairs of state and lived with his family, say archaeologists Elsa Redmond and Charles Spencer, both of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Only a ruler of a bureaucratic state could have directed construction of this all-purpose seat of power, the investigators conclude the week of March 27 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The purge Inauguration Day 2017 #AddHistoryImproveAMovie
— Morgan Goldberger (@MissJewBooty69) January 10, 2017
thedailysheeple.com /
In case you haven't seen the film The Purge, here's a nice little summary of the plot via Wikipedia:
In 2014, the New Founding Fathers of America, a far right political party inspired by the Founding Fathers of the United States, are voted into office following an economic collapse and pass the 28th Amendment which sanctions an annual national civic tradition called "The Purge", the first of which takes place in 2017. The Purge occurs for 12 hours, from 7 p.m. March 21 to 7 a.m. March 22, during which all crime is legal and all police, fire, and medical emergency services remain unavailable. Restrictions prohibit government officials "ranking 10" from being disturbed, as well as the use of all weapons above Class 4 (explosive devices such as grenades, rocket launchers, and bazookas). Violation of Purge rules results in a summary execution by hanging. The Purge has resulted in unemployment rates plummeting to 1%, low crime, and a strong economy.
Considering the current state of our country under the likes of eight years of George W. Bush (see something say something, torture, war) and eight more years of Obama (economic collapse, more torture, more war, extrajudicial drone killings, and an orchestrated race war agenda), can you imagine what this kind of scenario would look like if it were to happen right here right now in real life?

ReviewMy Aztec is the worst automobile I've ever owned in my life. 1st Pontiac Grand Am, purchased new, within one years paint bwgan to peel off, Dealer refused to repaint it, said it was because of the High Mileage I put on it. Bought a New Pontiac Grand Prix a few years later. Ran OK but interior buttons began to crack and break, at 63000 mikes it's timing belt broke and realy damaged the engine my mechanic told me. Then the Pontaic AZTEC 2002 used, with 28000 miles on it. had nothing but trouble with it electricly, have spent well over $1500 getting elctricsl problems fixed plus lousy gas mileage, Hard suspension. Pontiac Factory refuses to stand behind the car. Good Bye Pontiac fo
Best FeaturesPontiac should stand up and offer tofix their engeering defects if they want to keep me as customer
Worst FeaturesThe extremely poor wiring, Non fold back mirrors, Fuel mileage, Just totaly redesign the car to be dependable, Foriegnauto mfg's are able to do that. Gee, why is the American Automobile Mfgs having such a hard time, DUH !

The wiring is incredibly poor cause the workers are only given 1 minute to lay the wiring for the entire vehicle. Seems ridiculous, but it's true. It's no wonder so many USA cars have electrical problemsReport it

Doug - We had the same thing happen to our Pontiac Grand AM 1999 model. I was shocked when the holes started appearing in the hollow buttons on the radio panel. I mean really now. How pathetic can the body hardware get? I've never seen that kind of thing happen on any other brand of car besides GM models. It makes you wonder what the rest of the car is built like Then the window motors burned out prematurely Then the water pump went out. After that we bought a Honda Accord and have been hooked on Hondas since. Very happy now.Report it

People doors are closed on their homes, it doesn't stop thieves. Vehicle doors are closed and unlocked, it doesn't stop theft either. Thieves can walk into your home at any time with the door unlocked, there's isn't much police can do about it. Trespassing charges can be dropped quickly or be bailed out in hours. So why would a trailer be any different?

Its keeps an honest man honest
Enclosed trailers with springs? That's like doing curls with those fake cinder blocks... So easy! The springs make it so light..... The extra 10 seconds it takes to open and close is completely worth it... Keeping Honest men Honest since 1972
I even lock one side of my trailer ramp door with a tumbler lock EVERYTIME it goes back up.It keeps the riff raf out and not really a big deal to me.Like mentioned before the door is spring loaded and easy to handle.I charge enough to cover it.
Different zipcodes require different security.
The big think in our area is for them to watch the trailer and when there is an opening drive up snatch what they can and go. They haven't got to point of carring bolt cutters yet.
Sure there is, they'll write up a report that shows the thief was shot and killed while robbing someone's home.
Then you go to jail. You can't shoot unless they pose a threat.
Posted via Mobile Device
It happened here in Madison about a year ago. Someone walked into a home in the middle of the day and was shot and killed. There were no charges. You can absolutely kill a stranger for walking into your home. The only person that could tell the police they were no threat is you. That's the way it should be. Most home robberies happen during the day.

Birch has left on good terms and told The Lawyer that he thought the German firm's long-term strategy was sound. However, he said he "grew to be frustrated" that Haarmanns had failed to recruit more London partners, adding: "I certainly wasn't alone in my frustration."
The firm opened in London in 1999 and Birch was one of the founding partners. He said: "We started with a corporate and tax focus and intended to add more sectors."
But the firm has had little success in building up its seven-partner office.
One source close to Haarmanns said the firm had a couple of excellent laterals in the pipeline, at least one of which is very close to approval. However, the firm has lost out on several laterals at the last minute, partly because of the cumbersome recruitment process whereby all hires have to be approved in advance by Germany.
Birch, a respected corporate lawyer, has moved to the London office of Pinsent Curtis Biddle. As a fluent German speaker he will liaise with Pinsents' German best friend Hoffmann Liebs Fritsch & Partner.

Kolkata, May 8: Pushed to a lowly seventh position with the round robin stage reaching the home stage, Delhi Daredevils skipper JP Duminy on Thursday conceded that his team was "pretty much out" of the reckoning for the Indian Premier League play-offs and would now play to salvage some pride.
IPL Special; Points Table; Fixtures
Downcast after going down to title holders Kolkata Knight Riders by 13 runs at the Eden Gardens, Duminy regretted that his bowlers leaked 15-20 extra runs.
"We got three games to go in the tournament. We're pretty much out of it, but we have a lot of pride to play for," said the South African, with Delhi now sitting above only wooden spooners Kings XI Punjab in the leaderboard.
After 11 outings, Duminy's side has gleaned eight points, and have a 4-7 win-loss record.
Duminy said his bowlers were expensive in the opening and closing stages of the Knight ridersa¿ innings.
"Probably we leaked 15-20 too many, I thought we gave it a good go with the bat," said Duminy.
"We leaked too many in the first six. One stage they were looking at 180 or so. We took wickets in Athe middle, contained them. But again in the in the last five overs they got 60-odd which was too much"
The Knights scored 171/7 and then restricted Delhi to 158/6.
Asked whether he was disappointed at the team's fielding lapses, he said "Definitely. That's been the nature of our tournament. Unfortunately, we just let opportunities down.. Lot of work to do with our fielding.
