To whom it may concern
I am extremely happy to write this letter as a testimonial to the excellent service and result we experienced upon selling our property recently.
After making a fairly spontaneous decision to buy a new property and it being dependent upon selling our current house, we needed to move fast and get a result that was as good as good as we hoped for.
Carmen Tutor was in inspired choice as it turned out, as we not only obtained a price we were extremely happy with, but the whole process was over within the moth and we were able to move into our new place within 6 weeks of our offer being put forward.
Carmen was very professional from the word go, explaining the whole selling procedure clearly and making us aware of all the important aspects in getting the best price for our home.
I'm sure it was per persuasive skills, patient yet firm negotiating abilities, and friendly warm manner that helped our eventual purchaser firstly decide our house was right for him and a
Dear Carmen,
I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me;
Your professionalism and guidance throughout the sale of my property has been my Savior.
Selling a home unexpectedly whilst I have been interstate has been very difficult for me but you went over and above what one could expect from an agent and treated my property as if it were your own, continually checking and reporting back to me. I am extremely grateful!
Carmen, you worked so very hard for me over several months, gave me excellent advice and I could not be happier with the sale price you achieved.
I cannot speak highly enough of you.
I sincerely thank you so much and will always remember your assistance, persistence and excellent communication.
Kind Regards

Dear Sir/Madam,
I wish to show my great appreciation for Carmen Tutor's work in selling my family home in Swanbourne.
We lived I our home for 60 years and we were apprehensive about selling. Carmen made it simple and much quicker than we thought it would be. She explained to us all aspects of the process for sale and we felt totally comfortable that we would achieve our goal.
Not only did we achieve a great price, in a short time (4 weeks total) it was an immense pleasure to have Carmen assist us in a very professional manner.
We appreciate Carmen's honesty and integrity at all times and highly recommend Carmen to anyone wishing to buy or sell real estate.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Keith Charles Alford

Chapter Authors: Ann E. Burke, MD & Patricia J. Hicks, MD
The specific goals of this chapter are to highlight the importance of managing one's own wellness and reducing unhealthy stress responses to situations that may arise during training. Another aim is to raise awareness and promote understanding about the impact of stress on professional behavior in individuals and teams. Pediatric training can be a time of great growth and a time of increased stress due to a number of factors. Studies report that the prevalence of burnout among pediatric residents ranges from 55-76%.1,2 Professional behavior is particularly vulnerable during times of extreme stress, anxiety and burnout. Stress may be caused by a combination of factors including sleep deprivation, the pressures of the work environment, the vulnerabilities (relative lack of experience and knowledge) of residents inherent in the training process and the acuity and complexity of patients. Learning how to utilize healthy coping mechanisms to respond to stress is of utmost importance.3
When wellness has been compromised and stress prevails, individuals may manifest unprofessional behaviors they would be unlikely to exhibit under normal circumstances. Maladaptive coping of stress, or lack of wellness, can influence professionalism In a number of ways. These include a state of detachment in providing clinical care that is prominent during burnout, a lack of insight or inability to recognize when one is practicing in an impaired state, an imposed lack of commitment or depletion of prior commitment to one's professional responsibilities. Additionally, poor coping with stress can result in a state of tension in attempting to balance one's personal and professional life. Many of these behavioral characteristics overlap with characteristics of burnout.4 In addition to the impact stress and/or lack of wellness has on the individual; stress within a patient care team can have a substantial impact on team members and function. Strategies to combat lapses in professionalism in this area are available to trainees and programs. Fostering healthy, adaptive, and mindful responses to the inevitable stress of training should be of great priority in programs. Consistently responding to stressors with healthy responses is the goal of mindful, competent physicians. This is especially important to trainees as they are in the midst of formation of their own professional identity and development of life-long strategies. Explicit discussions about ways to cope and respond to stress need to occur.3,5
The two responsibilities outlined in the Physician Charter that are most relevant to this area of professionalism are:
The Pediatric Milestones that are most relevant to this area of professionalism are:
The components of professionalism and the importance of wellness and management of stress listed above provide general goals. It may be helpful to identify specific behaviors or practices that would exemplify the spectrum of behaviors in these domains and would predict stages from least desirable to most desirable way of being.

Reflective Exercises
The vignettes that follow were developed for use in a small group or noon conference setting to help stimulate discussion about issues of professionalism. Program Directors are encourage to expand upon these to reflect local issues and experiences.
Chapter 4 - Wellness and Its Impact On Professionalism
Vignette 1 - Moody senior resident
A senior resident becomes irritated with a nurse who has paged her that the new admission –a child with a rash and high fever- has arrived to the ward. The resident complains to her medical student that she should not even be on call today because she has one more call this month than the other senior resident. Later she feels badly that she was abrupt with the nurse and sad she complained, but she just feels so out of control sometimes. The nurse pages again about 10 minutes later to let the senior know that the family speaks only Spanish and will need an interpreter. This news sends the resident into a "tailspin" of moodiness, frustration and worry. She again feels disturbed with her inability to cope but does not think to apologize to the medical student or nurse.
Points to consider during discussion:
What concerning behaviors is the senior resident displaying?
Have you ever had times where you feel this overwhelmed and/or stressed? What strategies do you use to cope with these situations in the moment?
What strategies could be used to prevent this kind of behavior? What has happened to this resident?
Vignette 2 - Drunk med student
A fourth-year medical student is completing a rotation as a sub-intern in the PICU. Her performance has been outstanding, and the senior resident on the service has already submitted an excellent evaluation about her. It is the last day of the rotation, and the student arrives at work obviously intoxicated and unable to care for her patients appropriately. The senior resident, without knowledge of the attending, sends her home to "sleep it off" with no further feedback. She receives honors for the course. Approximately five months later, at the resident selection committee meeting, two resident members describe the incident and recommend that she be excluded from the list of potential candidates for the residency program.
Points to consider during discussion:
What other courses of action could the senior resident in the PICU have taken five months previously?
What should the program director do?
Should this incident affect her ranking in the program?
What actions would be appropriate for the medical student to take after the incident?
Vignette 3 - Remark from senior resident
Dr. Z is the senior resident on the ward team. Although his first preference had been to complete a nephrology fellowship at his current hospital, he recently matched to an outside program and is preparing to move out of the area. During resident work rounds, he makes a glib remark about the nephrology service attending: "He is such a compulsive idiot. It is not necessary to follow the electrolytes so frequently. It is obvious the patient is improving." The medical student and intern on the team appear uncomfortable with his remark.
Points to consider during discussion:
If you were the intern on the service and wanted to convey your discomfort to the senior resident, how would you approach that conversation?
What do you think contributed to the senior resident's behavior and how could these underlying factors be prevented or curtailed?
What does respectful workplace mean to you? Does your institution have expectations about these concepts?
Vignette 4 - Is everything okay?
One of your senior resident colleagues arrives late each morning for morning report and does not check in with the night team as she is supposed to do in her role as ward supervisor. In addition, you notice that she seems withdrawn and anxious. She shares with you the fact that she is really questioning her choice of being a doctor. She is not making personal connections with her patients like she used to either. She admits that she is not sleeping well and feels tired all the time.
Points to consider during discussion:
What are the behaviors that make one worry about burn-out, anxiety and/or depression?
How would you approach the senior resident? How could you help her?
Are there any programs that exist or could be started to assist residents who are having difficulty?
Are there ways to help decrease the risk of this situation in the first place from a program standpoint?
Vignette 5 - Not home for the holidays
The holiday schedule was just posted in the residency program office and you have been scheduled to work during the Christmas holiday for a second year in a row. Your significant other was upset last year because you were on-call Christmas eve, and it was a particularly busy night. You are not looking forward to informing him/her about this year's schedule.
Points to consider during discussion:
Assume that you are the resident and are conflicted about what to do. What would you do?
Would you approach the Chief resident about the schedule?Why or why not?
Would you just accept the schedule and not make a big deal out of it?
Vignette 6 - Worrysome nurse
You have been called by a nurse about a patient care issue. This nurse has a history of calling you quite a bit for what you deem are non-emergent issues. You are concerned about this as it disrupts your other duties.
Points to consider during discussion:
What actions would you consider as your next steps?
Who should you involve in your discussion(s)?
What action(s) will satisfy your professional responsibilities in this circumstance?

E has been on table food for some time now (she's currently a year old), and only recently has developed an interest in attempting to self-feed using a spoon. We had been using Munchkin's Soft-Tip Infant Spoons, and while they are good spoons, they just weren't working for us anymore. She's getting bigger and her needs are changing, and I disliked how the Munchkin spoons always rolled over. So, when looking for a new option while at Target, I spotted the NUK Gerber Graduates Rest Easy® Spoons, and was instantly intrigued.
The first thing I noticed was the size of the spoons. The handles are longer than most, which is a great advantage when working out of jarred baby food, and the mouth of the spoon is elongated as well. It has a squared off shape, and is soft enough for baby's mouth, but is firm enough for wiping off excess food. E can comfortably feed herself without issue. Yay for no gagging!
Munchkin's Deluxe Dishwasher Basket for keeping spoons, straws, lids, valves, and other baby feeding essentials secure.)
When we first purchased these Rest Easy® Spoons, we still had other spoons in our rotation (Gerber Soft-Bite, The First Years Take & Toss, and Munchkin Soft-Tip). However, as of late, we are exclusively using Rest Easy® Spoons! I'm actually in need of more so I don't have to wash the same ones as frequently. I see these spoons easily taking us into toddlerhood, up until she needs something a little more standard, at which point we'll try the Kiddy Cutlery® Set. I mean, we've enjoyed the Rest Easy® Spoons so much, it only makes sense to stick with the NUK Gerber Graduates line!
If you are about to, or have recently moved past the initial baby spoon phase, and are looking for something to get you through till your loved one needs a cutlery set, I highly recommend NUK Gerber Graduates Rest Easy® Spoons. They're super affordable ($2.99 for a 5-pack), very safe, look pretty rad, and meet all our needs wonderfully!
BONUS: Just in case you need a little push to try these Rest Easy® Spoons, visit NUK's website for a $1.00 off coupon for one NUK or Gerber Graduates tableware product!
Are you eager to try these spoons?

KCDU is a commercial radio station in Carmel, California, broadcasting to the Santa Cruz-Monterey-Salinas, California, area on 101.7 FM. Its studios are in Monterey while its transmitter is located east of the city.
KCDU airs a Top 40 (CHR) music format branded as "The Beach".
History 1994-present[edit]
KCDU (and previously calls KXKT) were located at 93.5 FM from 1994 to 2003.
93.5 FM was originally "Cat Country 93.5" (KXKT) from December 1994 to November 1996, playing nationally syndicated country programming.
In November 1996, KXKT flipped to "Modern Rock at 93.5... CD-93" under new calls KCDU. The original format was a mix of Alternative, and Triple A. Typical artists included Ani DiFranco, Shawn Colvin, Smashing Pumpkins, Fiona Apple, 311, Counting Crows, Alanis Morissette and others.
In July 1997, the station's playlist shifted to a mainstream Modern Adult Contemporary format. Alternative and Triple A tracks were replaced by pop-leaning songs by artists such as Ace of Base, Madonna and Prince. The station officially re-branded itself as "Today's Music... CD-93" in August 1997. Around the same time, an all-request 80's New Wave program called "RetroAction" began airing Saturday nights from 9 to midnight, hosted by Sini Man.
The station's Fall 1997 lineup included Mike Skot (mornings), Sandy Shore (middays), program director Bill Goldsmith (afternoons), and Sini Man (evenings). Ms. Shore and Mr. Goldsmith were voicetracked, while Mr. Skot and Mr. Man were live.
In late 1997, the station (and sister station KPIG) was sold to NuWave Broadcasting out of Hawaii. The station moved from KPIG's Watsonville studios to NuWave's Salinas studios.
In 1998, the station added even more pop-leaning tracks, including "You're Still The One" by Shania Twain and "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. A voicetracked DJ simply known as "Christopher" replaced Bill Goldsmith in the afternoons.
In March 1999, the station revamped its lineup, replacing Sandy Shore and Christopher with live DJ's Jae Jae (middays) and Maverick (afternoons). Prior to KCDU, Maverick worked at crosstown KDON-FM for two years. When the new KDON PD (Danny Ocean) came in, he fired Maverick. 10 minutes later, Mav was back on the air at CD93 doing afternoons and soon became the assistant program director. Jae Jae became famous for her "I'm outtie like a belly-button" sign-off phrase, and great stunts like the walk from Monterey to Santa Cruz for a Children's care center in Santa Cruz.
Several programming changes also occurred in March 1999. The first was "10-in-a-row's" - where the station now played 10 songs each hour non-stop without commercials. The second was a new program called "Underground Planet", hosted by Sini Man. "UP" highlighted non-mainstream artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Fleming & John, and Vertical Horizon. The show aired 10-12 weeknights. Finally, the station dropped some of its most pop-leaning artists (including Ace of Base), and shifted back to a true Modern Adult Contemporary station.
In December 1999, Sini Man retired from radio to pursue other interests including his singing career.
In January 2000, the station reimaged itself as "Modern Music... CD-93" - and switched to a female voiceover. In May 2000, the station moved to NuWave's new radio facility in Monterey, and began using a new music library. "10-in-a-row's" were dropped at this point in favor of a 3-stopset music hour.
All NuWave stations were sold to Mapleton Broadcasting in Spring 2002. After being sold, the station immediately dropped the "Underground Planet" program. The playlist also shifted to a more Hot Adult Contemporary blend, which included current songs by LeAnn Rimes and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The 80's songs also changed to include more Bon Jovi and Def Leppard, and the "80's New-Wave" Saturday night show was subsequently dropped.
In June 2002, longtime DJs Maverick and Jae Jae were fired to cut costs.
In March 2003, the station moved to 101.7 FM and re-branded itself as "101.7 The Beach... The Best Mix of the 80's, 90's and Today." The calls, however, were not changed.
In 2005, the station began an "All Kinds of Music" promotion to counter the influence of Jack-FM stations. The playlist expanded to include everything from "U Got It Bad" by Usher to "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard. The station also began running the syndicated James McPhee Dream Doctor and John Tesh shows.
In the Fall of 2011, KCDU modified its format slightly to become "Today's Hit Music - 101.7 The Beach;" cutting out all of the 70s, 80s, and 90s music it had broadcast for years. The Beach also moved its syndicated John Tesh Morning show to the new sister station B103.9FM (formerly Classical KBach). The lineup changed as well with the 2010 mid-day addition of the syndicated show "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest." Longtime jock Sybil DeAngelo relocated to a Washington state sister station, leaving Kiwi (2003–present, from the former rock station KMBY/X103.9fm) in afternoons. Promotions Manager Alyson joined the on-air line-up with the evening shift in early 2011, and Casey, who had held a 2-4 shift until Fall 2011, became the new morning show host with the transfer of John Tesh's Radio Program.
On October 19, 2012 KCDU changed their format to Top 40 (CHR), still under "The Beach" branding.
101.7 history[edit]
101.7 was smooth jazz as KXDC from 1995 to 1999 when in 1999 101.7 switched to 101.7 but first as an old school station and then moving into a rhythmic format to go against KDON, 101.7 later relaunched as 101.7 the bomb to even fully go against KDON with t-man in the morning, it later moved to 93.5 which didn't last that long

The agent of Sporting Lisbon striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel has told the International Business Times that Manchester United and Chelsea are monitoring the player, but any reports of a pending move to the Premier League are "rumours and nothing more".
Manchester United and Chelsea had both been credited with an interest in the £11million-rated Netherlands international earlier in the month, amid speculation Sir Alex Ferguson was hoping to use his excellent contacts, which enabled the Scot to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, in order to engineer a deal in January.
Van Wolfswinkel's representative Louis Laros, confirmed Chelsea and Manchester United had been monitoring the prolific forward yet dismissed the likelihood of a possible move to the Premier League in the near future.
Laros told the IBTimes that neither Sir Alex Ferguson nor Andre Villas-Boas had contacted him in regards to a transfer and suggested anything claiming to the contrary was simply speculation at this stage.
The Dutchman's agent was also keen to stress how happy Van Wolfswinkel was in Portugal despite the links of Manchester United and Chelsea, even though Laros did acknowledge the inevitable lure of a future move to the Premier League.
"I know they (Manchester United and Chelsea) are watching him but that is not unusual because they are watching all the best young players in Europe." Louis Laros told the International Business Times on Thursday.
"I have not spoken to anyone about his future. At the moment any interest is only rumours and nothing more.
"The club is very happy with him, and he is very happy with Sporting."
He continued: "If there is any concrete interest (from Manchester United or Chelsea) a solution must be made with Sporting first, but Ricky is not in a hurry, he is very laid back and very much enjoys life in Portugal.
"I do not envisage a move in January as I have not heard anything. I think it would be almost impossible but you never say never in football."
Although keen to play down an imminent move to Chelsea or their Premier League rivals Manchester United, Laros suggested England's top tier would be the logical next step in Van Wolfswinkel's fledgling career if and when Sporting decided to sell their burgeoning young talent.
"Obviously he would always be interested in in the Premier League. It would be the next step in his career." Laros told the IBTimes, when asked about a possible move to Manchester United or Chelsea in the future.
"It is the highest podium to showcase his talents but at the moment it is rumours and nothing more.
"I have not spoken to anyone, and he is very happy in Portugal."
The former Utrecht youngster, who finished as the Eredivisie club's top scorer with 20 goals last season, joined Sporting in June for a reported €5.4 million and has already netted an impressive 11 goals in 14 games this season.
"I can't think of anything that isn't good about this club." Van Wolfswinkel told the club's official website recently. "It's very good for me: a club with a great coach, a great team and great fans. The stadium is spectacular. It's at the same level as the best ones in Holland."
Van Wolfswinkel's immediate impact in Portuguese football has led to perhaps premature comparisons to Sporting Lisbon legend Mario Jardel. The former Brazilian international netted a staggering 67 goals in just 62 games for the club, and the iconic ex-forward praised the youngster for his seamless introduction at Estádio José Alvalade.
"He started very well. I hope he has the same success I had at Sporting. If he scores as many goals as I did. Then no doubt that Sporting will be champions." Jardel told FourFourTwo.com last month.
He made his debut for Holland in August 2010 and their coach Bert van Marwijk has made regualr visits to monitor the precocious young striker ahead of next summer's European Championships.

Five frogs were sitting on a log. 4 decided to jump off. How many are left?
5. Why? Because deciding and doing are not the same. It always seems impossible until it's done. Cut the crap and just do it.
You either find a reason to do the job or an excuse for not doing it.
Get obsessed, totally obsessed. There is no just liking what you do, get obsessed with it. Stand up and do what you want! Don't be lazy! Don't hesitate! Don't let excuses stop you from achieving your goals! Life is what you make of it. Because in the end, the worst regrets are of those experiences which did not even happen, because you made an excuse. Let go of people who hold you back. Give yourself a chance to explore your talents. Have a goal. Have a plan. Have difficult targets. It's okay if you fail. But it is not okay to give up because you failed once. Stop trying to find reasons for not doing something.
Excuses are the reasons which keep you in your comfort zone forever. Life is an adventure. Live like it.
Why do we make excuses in the first place? Why do we lie to ourselves? Why are we lazy to experiment with our capabilities? Why are we scared to fail? Fear of embarrassment, fear of rejection or fear of uncertainty? Or are we scared of change? Ask yourself these questions and get some answers. You need to know yourself- your fears, insecurities and flaws. You need to know at what point you are the most under-confident about yourself, so that you rise above all fears and achieve self-confidence.
Avoid Making Comparisons.
Your life isn't a race. The only person you need to be competing with is yourself. Compare your present you to your past you. Keep motivating yourself. Appreciating and noting someone's good points is fine, but comparing yourself with them just makes you want to be like them. You feel bad about yourself- it brings you down emotionally and immobilizes you mentally. The basis of comparison may not be fair, since we all come from different backgrounds, we all have different experiences, and we all see things differently. Comparing yourself with others is like comparing a fish to a bird. Recognize what you have and appreciate what the others have.
Avoid Dwelling on the Past
You can't spend your whole life cribbing about that one mishappening of your past. Having a positive outlook is necessary. Every bad experience teaches you a thing or two, let's focus on that rather than feeling sorry about ourselves.
So what if you were not appreciated for your work before? That reason is not enough to stop you from trying again. No hard-work goes unrewarded. Stop allowing your yesterday to ruin your today. Accept what has happened. See every day as a new challenge, a new chapter.
Taking full responsibility for failures and mistakes
We humans are in this habit blaming everyone or everything else instead of ourselves for our own actions. We need to realize that life is not built upon luck or fortune, but rather on our ability to successfully adapt to the changing conditions that life throws our way. Courage is admitting your mistakes and taking full ownership of your mistakes. This helps you to make better judgments and keeps little problems from growing into big ones.
Focus on solutions and new opportunities
Seek alternate perspectives by asking other people for their opinions, comments, and feedback. Focus on your strengths and use your weaknesses to better yourself.
Stop saying I won't, I can't, I'll do it later, I'll try, I may do it, tomorrow, day after.. NO! DO IT NOW! If you want to get from where you are in life to where you want to be, you need to avoid making excuses and focus on the tasks that are going to get you there.

'Teen Mom' fans are irritated by Farrah Abraham's savagery
On Teen Mom OG, Farrah Abraham went savage on her mother, Debra Danielsen, when she found out that Jenelle Evans's ex-husband, Courtland Rogers, was invited to her mom's wedding.
After hearing the news from Jenelle, Farrah FaceTimed her mother to ask, "What's going on with you inviting someone who Jenelle has been married to, who's a habitual criminal, unsafe for kids, and you're having that around your grandkids, basically?" Debra responded, "Well, first of all, Farrah, God sees all of us the same way. And if somebody has changed their life, and if somebody's a good person, then nobody can condemn or judge anybody." However, Farrah clearly didn't approve of her mother's point of view as she immediately went off on her, telling her that she's not even a criminal and she has changed her life more than anyone she's ever seen.
The argument between the two continued to heat up until Farrah finally reached a boiling point and yelled, "Mom, why don't you shut up so you can unconfuse your brain?" And when Debra asked Farrah why she wasn't even attending her wedding, that was when Farrah decided the conversation was over.
Teen Mom fans were pretty irritated by the way Farrah treated her mother in the episode, titled "Unconfuse Your Brain." One person tweeted, "Is this the episode where they fire Farrah? I'm ready." While another wrote, "So this is another episode of Farrah...Ugh come on MTV, let's get to the firing. her level of disrespect is past annoying."
Fans were also pointing out, "farrah has already made it clear that her and her evil little offspring won't be attending the wedding so she needs to stop worrying about who is invited."

GRIT&ground was formed by two passionate rug lovers looking to make their mark in the home furnishings industry. The company was created for the purpose of filling the gap between the trade and retail spaces and, therefore, appeal to both the consumer and the designer. The goal was to create rugs with a unique look and feel, similar in quality to what's being sold exclusively to the trade, but offer them at competitive retail prices. Tired of seeing the same old looking rugs in the retail space, GRIT&ground has made its primary goal to provide you with fresh contemporary rugs that fit your unique style without compromising on quality.
Rugs are a crucial element in making a space come together. Whether it's through color, texture or design, a room is not complete without an area rug. There are so many design creations and textural combinations that are available and it truly allows for a person to connect with it, not only from a visual standpoint but also from a physical one. It looks beautiful, but also feels beautiful. We think of rugs as functional art and just another way to express oneself. Your floor is naked and needs to be dressed up with beautiful contemporary rugs that represent your unique style.
Our Team
Dorian Miroddi
Like any proper New York woman, a love of fashion is in Dorian Miroddi's DNA. Innately curious, creative and driven, Dorian found herself drawn to the world of textiles following her graduation from Baruch College, where she became marketing director for a rug company exclusive to the trade in New York City. Serving as marketing director, Dorian was able to fuse her fashion-oriented instincts with the stubbornly traditional carpet and textile industry, uncovering previously unexplored notions linking the ways in which we dress ourselves and "dress" our homes. In 2016, Dorian harnessed these insights to launch GRIT&ground, a rug company designed for the 21st Century consumer--a consumer passionate about our most personal measure of self-expression: The home.
Dorian is currently the COO and co-founder of GRIT&ground.
Sabina Ungeheuer
GRIT&ground's Creative Director Sabina Ungeheuer is an accomplished painter and designer who, by combining her fine arts background and natural sense of color, texture, and materiality, is creating floorcoverings for the next generation of design enthusiasts. From the careful dyeing of fibers to the exacting details of production, Sabina is a master of her craft. Exquisite and sensitive, abstract and geometric, each of Sabina's designs at GRIT&ground is informed and influenced by her career as a painter and decade of experience in the textile industry. As with many artists, Sabina's passion for her work keeps her constantly enmeshed in the creation of GRIT&ground rugs, but her globe-spanning relationships with sought-after resources and producers set her apart.
Sabina is currently the Creative Director and co-founder of GRIT&ground.

The focus for the women's Eagles in the past three years has been on building a unifying pathway and creating structures to develop beyond 2017. While that strategy will certainly pay dividends down the road, the consequence of a three-year plan gives the feeling that we are in an off-cycle. Despite these challenges, the past months of hard training have shown the girls' grit in fighting against the odds.
The emphasis on building for the future as opposed to right now is no secret to the administration. USA Rugby is looking to capitalize on this transition as young rugby stars come into their own. But for now, the Eagles face quite a few challenges going into the Women's Rugby World Cup. A thrilling road to the top, this Women's World Cup is set to be the stuff of legend.
Lack of experience
In 2017, a World Cup year, the Women's Eagles have played a total of two test matches. Pushing back to last August, that number only rises to four. England and Italy played more matches than that in the Six Nations.
Furthermore, the total number of caps on the team is relatively low compared to the high-ranking squads. The two most-capped players on the Eagles' World Cup Squad have 26 and 28 international appearances. In comparison, 19 players on the England squad have more than 25 caps, with two players boasting over 100. Five of the Italians hold over 60 caps, and teams like Ireland and France contain a wealth of experience in the other pools.
Additionally, the USA is just a young rugby country. While our average chronological age compares evenly to other teams, the Eagles have a younger rugby age. Most don't have the advantage of having played rugby since age five. The USA women have just played less games of rugby, domestic or international.
These challenges are coming to an end, however. Rugby is reaching the youngest of athletes now, and the Eagles have more than a few players that competed in high school. With youth comes a joie de vivre that can amount to a ruthless competitiveness. The Eagles have enough experience in their leadership to guide that drive to a championship.
The Pathway to the Cup
In order to win the Rugby Women's World Cup, the women's Eagles are probably going to have to plan England twice. England are the current world and Six Nations champions coming off a win against their next-closest rival, New Zealand.
Why twice? The pathway to the World Cup is a much more stringent one than the men's.
The inclusion of only 12 teams in the women's competition makes it a heck of a lot harder for anyone to win. With only three pools, the teams that top each pool secure a semi-final bid.
And the last spot?
It goes to the top runner-up, creating a massive battle for points throughout the pool stages. Not only do you want to win all three, but losing one game can topple even the greatest teams.
In 2014, the Eagles had to face New Zealand twice. Until Ireland pulled off a shocker, NZ were widely considered the favorites. After losing to Ireland, who was also in our pool, New Zealand fell into the consolation matches for 5th place, where we had to face them again in that match.
Pool B
Now, the Eagles are in a similar situation, but with England. Except this time, we expect to have learned our lesson. The easiest path to the semifinals is for us to win all three pool games, beating Italy, Spain and England. By doing that, it's still likely that England will advance as the best second-place team. And we'd have to face them again at some point on the way to winning.
It's definitely achievable, but it's an incredible challenge to defeat the world champions twice in less than a month.
But it's not just England.
Italy and Spain are 9 and 10 in the World Rugby rankings right now, which is right behind the women's Eagles, who sit in 8th. The first two games are must-wins, and they're not going to be easy. Italy has the advantage of playing in Six Nations each year, and Spain have shown well on the 7s circuit.
That's just what happens in a World Cup – each game should be a dog fight. The Eagles just have to step up to the challenge.
Finances and external stress
While we'd love to believe everything else just disappears when we step on the field, it doesn't. Mindfulness to be present and focuses in a pressure environment takes lots of practice. It's much easier to put aside your external thoughts when all you have to worry about is how sore your muscles are.
However, the women's Eagles have been financially stunted for a while. A handful of the girls on the sevens program are being funded full-time, yet it's not a living wage. The majority of the residents have to work outside jobs to make ends meet. Not to mention the players who don't get paid to play at all. All year, Eagles have been waking up at 4 am to train, working 9 hours, and staying out until 10 pm at club practices. There's no room for sleep.
Those who understand the need to recover are forced to make tough financial decisions such as living on friend's couches or taking part-time, lesser paying jobs. Often those jobs are not careers and definitely not salaried. So what happens when players go away to training and then World Cup for a few months? They lose money-making opportunities.
Student loans, medical bills, car payments – those things all still exist while the team is in Ireland. While as athletes, the Eagle women are 100% focused, no one can deny the challenges of leaving the "real world" behind. A disparity in funding between the men's and women's game still exists, and that remains a challenge.
Bring on the challenge
It's no coincidence that the official hashtag for the WRWC is #BringIt. Challenges are no strangers to this brave, strong and powerful group of women. It's been a fight through underfunding and under-experience for a while. Despite the obvious obstacles, the Women's Eagles are at a tipping point.
The work has been put in. The chips are ready to fall. It all comes down to game day. Each match will be a hard fight, but every match is winnable. One step at a time, the Eagles are ready to hoist the World Cup again.

Not long ago I spoke to a very good marketing friend of mine who happens to know what clicks when you are about to release an information product.
He has worked with Frank Kern before and he dropped a lot of wisdom bombs on me that day.
To make a long story short, I told him I was working on a WordPress training (Authority Blog Profits) and that it was almost complete but still lacked a few technical things here and there.
He got a bit pissed (in a good way) and told me something like this:
"Dude, if it's not ready yet, you need to start building a LOT of buzz already. It doesn't matter if you release it next week or next month but start spreading the news!"
My response was that I didn't want to promote my own training because I wanted to give affiliates the chance to make the most money possible and he didn't agree with that at all.
Then he literally said:
"Forget the affiliates. What you have to do is create a banner or anything that resembles the product and put that everywhere. Twitter background, facebook header, youtube header, your blog sidebar, etc. Affiliates are going to benefit from that as well and besides affiliates have their own audience and can come up with bonuses and shit, seriously just start telling everyone about your product."
It sounds a bit too extreme to me but it also sounds like common sense so I'll talk a bit about why it has taken so long to put this out there and all the little things that happen behind a silent launch.
"Coming Soon" Squeeze Page
I created a "coming soon" page to capture name and email addresses from people who were interested in the training.
Either for buying or promoting it.
I got a nice response but a few days ago I decided to remove the page (it's still there, it's just not the front page for AuthorityBlogProfits.com anymore) and linked that to the sales page already.
Doing this placed a bit of stress in myself (which was exactly what I wanted) and now I do feel I have a very strong urge to finish the website and submit for approval.
Lack Of Money
This WordPress training took me a while to put together (it's a very long story too) and during that creation time I had money at times and I just had enough to survive at other times.
Even though I own a few credit cards myself, I hit rock bottom a few times spending the whole limit on all of them.
I mean just look at these numbers:
- hosting reseller account: $600
- hosted videos: $400
- security script: $300
- WordPress theme: $100
- autoresponder account: $200
Obviously when you already own any of these you don't have to pay for them again (with some exceptions like the autoresponder and hosting account) but spending $1,600 for someone who is not on a very good economic situation can definitely be a leap of faith.
So unfortunately this took a tow several times on the training so it became an on- and off- kind of project and I adopted the very wrong mindset of "it will be published when it gets published, I don't want to know any more about it so stop asking me about ABP, period."
Money wasn't the real issue though because I do have access to five figures any time I need it (that's credit though) but the main problem was the lack of confidence I had.
Not The Best Self Confidence
A few friends stopped believing in myself (or my product) and it affected me in a very negative way.
This happened at a time when I was listening to every single thing that was said about me (good or bad) and I couldn't stomach negative criticism that well.
Right now I'm a very different person with a stronger mindset and this is one of the main reasons why I decided to publish this article regarding all the ups and lows about this product.
Upsells And Downsells
Another thing that drove me crazy until very recently was the special offers I was going to create for the training.
Should I create one membership level or several with different price points?
Big marketers always recommend to "stop selling when people stop buying" and that way you never leave money on the table.
As a buyer myself, I have a very strict policy regarding upsells and downsells.
If they really contribute to the product I don't mind them at all but not many people feel the same way so I have to be careful with this.
I asked around and some people suggested having some of the training for a basic membership level and the advanced section for a premium membership.
The idea was good and I even thought about creating a free membership level that had access to just one of the modules.
Then everything started to get more complex as I was told that the marketplace I was going to use wouldn't instantly approve my upsells or downsells and that it would be better to just have one level instead and implement any special offers at a later stage.
Instead of freezing out on this (which absolutely happened) I should have just submitted the training -with or without the special offers- and just roll with the punches.
So right now I'm back to creating one upsell, one downsell and craft a few consulting and "done for you" exclusive offers for member's only of course.
Note: I wasn't going to offer any of the upsells, downsells or any extra services but after working with a few clients of mine who already know the basics of WordPress, they are still happy to pay me to do their websites for them.
People save time, it is not a huge investment and they get to pick my brain with new ideas on how to get the best out of their websites so it's a green flag for these special offers.
Pricing Points
This is still something that has been bothering me even on my sleep.
I surveyed everyone who finished my free seven day marketing training and one of the questions on the quiz was:
How much would you be willing to pay for a full hands-on WordPress training that has it all?
By "all" I mean something like this:
- WordPress site building
- Theme customization
- Lead generation
- Traffic strategies
- Membership sites
- Squeeze pages
- Hot seats (student's material reviewed on video)
- Suggestion box
- Private facebook group
- Live Q&A webinars
- Giveaways
And these were the pricing responses I received:
- $9.95 Monthly payments
- $47 One time, lifetime updates
- $97 One time, lifetime updates
- $197 One time, lifetime updates
- $297 One time, lifetime updates
Most people selected the $47 and the $97 one-time offers.
A very big number of people said they preferred the $9.95 monthly payments instead which I wasn't expecting at all because I thought people normally hated recurring payments, silly me.
Anyway, the training was meant to be sold at $97 but given the fact that marketers continue to sell their trainings at $4.95 or $9.95 I thought nobody was going to get this training at $97 so I dropped the price by half.
I wanted to make it a no brainer kind of investment so instead of $47, I went a bit further, trimmed $10 from it and left it on a fixed launch price of $37.
Some friends told me that if I kept dropping the price they were not going to promote it because you can't cheapen out a very extensive training that delivers that much value (a few persons already went through the training and the feedback has been nothing less than fantastic stuff).
The least money I ask for a basic WordPress installation offline is $500 and a full website at $1,500.
So how on earth can a training that includes teaching you exactly that, which only represents about 10% of the whole training cost any less than $500 then?
But I know, I know.
Offline marketing and online marketing are a bit different (at least in my personal experience) and that's how I know this product is way undervalued at only $37.
Price Will Go Up Or Down With Time?
You normally see products being depreciated with time, meaning that for something you may pay $497 right now, you may pay just $397 on a special day or even half its price, you get the idea.
I really can't say I'm never going to offer this at any less than $37 but if Clickbank allows it, what I'm going to do (or at least try) is launch this training at $37 (so far) then bump it up to $47 and aim to make it reach the $97 price point.
Obviously nothing is set in stone so I may actually leave it at $47 and include a monthly membership for people who want to be able to reach out to me in a more direct way and more frequently.
I wanted to talk about the technical aspects behind the Authority Blog Profits training but this article is more than 1500 words now and some people don't have time for long posts.
So I'll leave it here, maybe in the upcoming days I can write about it again and talk about the technical stuff which is always interesting if you have never launched a product yourself.
Thanks for reading and if you have any feedback on anything I just wrote here, I'd truly appreciate you taking the time to comment on the thread down below.

Massive coverage in today's press of a warning by UNISON General Secretary Dave Prentis that the union is gearing up to industrial action in defence of members' pensions.
"It will not be one day of action - it will be long-term industrial action throughout all our public services to prevent destruction of our pension schemes. I have no doubt that unless the Government pulls back from its attempt to decimate public sector pensions, this union will move to industrial action." Over the next 24 hours the PCS and NUT will announce ballot results for action planned to commence on 30 June.

Living Healthy Utah recently posted a nice article about PROBAR®, highlighting it's founder Art Eggertsen. In the article they spoke about the origins of PROBAR® and Art's search for a bar that would satisfy the energy, taste and integrity demands that he held in high esteem.
Living Healthy Utah is a pioneer in promoting health professionals at the local level that also offers a health magazine and web portal for various communities around the country.
From the article:
Determined not to let another day of fresh powder go to waste due to hunger, Art took things into his own hands. He needed a better bar – one that not only tastes great, but packs a substantial nutritional punch. He went to his kitchen and started experimenting. He shared each new bar he created, and there were many, with his food'coaching clients. Soon they were begging for more.

Francoise Nielly lives in a world of images.
She has explored the different facets of "image" all her life , through painting, photography, roughs, illustrations and virtual, computer generated animated graphics. It is clear now that painting is her direction and her passion.
She gets her sense of space and construction from her father, who was an architect.
Growing up in the South of France where she lived between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, is never far from the light, the color sense and the atmosphere that permeates the South of France. This is coupled with her studies with her studies at the Beaux arts and Decorative Arts, and her sense of humor and of celebration.
Françoise Nielly's painting is expressive, exhibiting a brute force, a fascinating vital energy. Oil and knife combine tsculpt her images from a material that is , at the same time, biting and incisive, charnel and sensual. Whether she paints the human body or portraits, the artist takes a risk : her painting is sexual, her colors free, exuberant, surprising, even explosive, the cut of her knife incisive, her color pallet dazzling.
Françoise Nielly is a passionate woman who loves life, wide open spaces, sushi, blue lagoons, the Internet, humor, books, Paris, New-york and Vancouver. Resolutely inscribed in her epoch, she is an accomplished artist ; 20 years of artistic expression explain the maturity of her work and the perfect mastery of her art.
She lives and paints in Paris near Montmartre; shows and sells her work in Europe, in Canada and in the United States.

The church houses a sequence of Stations of the Cross by contemporary artist Casimir Ferrer, some historic stone sculptures and the tomb of Alzias Saunhac, the 15th century Lord of Chateau Belcastel who built the church....
|Tomb of Alzias Saunhac
This is the sculpture that most intrigued me, though.
It's St. Christopher with the Christ Child on his shoulders. When I googled the story, I discovered this legend...one night a child appeared outside St. Christopher's hut and asked for his help in crossing the river. Having been told by a hermit that because of his great size and strength, he should assist people in making the crossing, Christopher agreed to help the child. Hoisting him up on his shoulders, he waded into the water. As he went, the river became more and more turbulent, and the child became heavier and heavier. Christopher struggled, but persisted, eventually gaining the opposite side. He told the child "I do not think the whole world could have been as heavy on my shoulders as you were." To which the child replied..."You had on your shoulders not only the whole world, but also him who made it. I am Christ, your King!"
This is what I love about exploring France...you never know what delightful story you'll find just around the corner, up the hill...or across the river!

Merseyside Police is appealing for people to be cautious after prescription medication was lost in St Helens yesterday.

Cal men's tennis took the court early Sunday morning as if the team had somewhere to be later that afternoon. Just as if they had to finish their match as soon as possible, the Bears beat down the Utes, 4-0, to draw closer to having a winning Pac-12 conference record.
Many of the Cal fans in attendance were surprised that by 12:45 p.m., the match against Utah had already concluded. The fast play made it possible for the team to grab lunch and enjoy the rest of their Sunday, a day initially marked up as an off day after rain postponed the scheduled Friday evening match.
From the start, the Bears set a strong precedent for the rest of the match play, ultimately earning a sweep over a conference foe.
The No. 27 pairing of seniors Billy Griffith and J.T. Nishimura easily dispatched senior Egbert Weverink and junior Joe Woolley, 6-1, while the young freshman duo of Jack Molloy and Ben Draper followed suit, beating freshmen Russell Benkaim and Randy Cory by the same score.
"We have been training hard in practice, and I think that paid off today," Draper said. "We came out with really good energy, and once we got up early on a couple of the courts, we got more confident in ourselves and were able to maintain that lead."
When it came to singles, the Bears didn't show any signs of slowing down. Cal clinched the overall match, 4-0, as Griffith, Draper and Molloy secured singles wins — all finishing just minutes apart. There was no real chance for the Utes to even begin thinking about an improbable comeback, as the score quickly jumped from 1-0 to 4-0 in Cal's favor.
"We have an entire team of guys who put in effort to get better everyday, and it shows in our results and our focus," said Cal director of men's tennis Peter Wright. "It is not just about the mechanics of how to play the game, but the process of how to compete better and how to really improve their game."
Griffith, the No. 57-ranked singles player, was a strong and solid victor on court one, displaying why he is the Bears' top player. After a close 6-4 first set against junior Dan Little, Griffith emerged as the steadier of the two and closed out the match, 6-2, in the second set.
A balance of aggressive and consistent play guided Draper and Molloy to their wins, as they took down senior Santiago Sierra 6-2, 6-4 and Weverink 6-3, 6-4, respectively.
"We were extremely focused. Our singles play was equally impressive. We played some of our most focused tennis of the year. It's exciting to get some sunshine, and we were playing at home. Our guys were really motivated today," Wright said of the entire afternoon's play.
Facing a quick turnaround, Cal will look to have a similar performance Tuesday against University of San Francisco and especially next weekend in Palo Alto when it takes on Stanford in the "Big Slam." For now, the Bears can at least enjoy the win and stay focused and smart heading into the stretch run.

Boundary Review Could Strip Monuments of Protections
Anti-public land sentiment in Washington, DC is at a fever pitch these days given the domination of the House, Senate and White House by anti-conservation interests. The first victim was Bureau of Land Management planning rules, overturned by Congress in March. The next intended victims are America's national monuments—unless we take action.
While national parks, wilderness areas, and most other heavily-protected areas of federal public land can only be established by an act of Congress, American presidents were given the authority to establish national monuments by the Antiquities Act of 1906. Many of America's National Parks, including Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Pinnacles, and Lassen, among a long list of others, were first protected as national monuments before Congress designated them as parks.
On April 26, 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order 13792 that directs the Department of the Interior to review the boundaries and management of all national monuments established since January 1, 1996 that are more than 100,000 acres in size. The Executive Order also directs Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to review national monuments that were established "without adequate public outreach and coordination with relevant stakeholders." No definition of "adequate public outreach" is offered. Conservationists fear that this review is just the first step towards stripping these monuments of their protected status.
In California, there have been 13 national monuments protected since 1996 and thus subject to President Trump's review order. They include:
• Berryessa Snow Mountain
• Cabrillo
• California Coastal
• Carrizo Plain
• Cascade-Siskiyou
• Castle Mountains
• Cesar E. Chavez
• Fort Ord
• Giant Sequoia
• Mojave Trails
• San Gabriel Mountains
• Sand to Snow
• World War II Valor in the Pacific (this is the Tule Lake Japanese-American Internment Camp)
The seven italicized monuments are over 100,000 acres in size. As this list illustrates, national monuments protect a vast array of natural and cultural treasures, ranging from the world's largest trees (Giant Sequoia National Monument) to historic sites such as the beautiful Trinidad Head in Humboldt County in the California Coastal National Monument. A long list of endangered species call these areas home. Some national monuments, like Fort Ord near Monterey, protect both cultural and natural resources alike and are wildly popular with visitors. The Carrizo Plain National Monument recently made international headlines for its spectacular spring wildflower "super bloom." Towns near the Carrizo were thrilled to see an influx of visitors from around the world who wanted to experience the super bloom first-hand. Visitors to national monuments contribute millions in tourism dollars annually in California alone.
There has not been a loud chorus of voices in California calling for any national monuments to be de-designated. The real motivation for the rollback comes from anti-conservation members of Congress who have been lobbying President Trump to overturn the Bears Ears National Monument protected in Utah last year by President Obama. While de-designating Bears Ears would not affect California directly, it would mark the first time in history that a national monument has been overturned. An attack on one national monument is an attack on them all.
Secretary Zinke is accepting public comments on the national monuments review until July 10, 2017. Please let him know that you support the 14 National Monuments that would be reviewed in California under President Trump's order. If you have visited any of the California National Monuments, please let him know that as well. You can send him your comments online or by mail to:

In the January 2011 issue of Psychological Science, Mina Cikara and colleagues studied baseball fans' reactions to play of their & their rival's teams and have shown that "the failures of an in-group member are painful, whereas those of a rival out-group member may give pleasure—a feeling that may motivate harming rivals." As a long-time NY Football Giants fan, this is not a surprise to me.
Frankly, I was most entertained by the methods they used to elicit fans' pleasant and painful feelings. They tested "die-hard" Red Sox (n=11) or Yankees (n=7) fans. To determine die-hard fan status, the authors asked participants to
correctly identify photos of three Red Sox players and three Yankees players that we selected, as well as the position of a fourth player we selected from each team. Participants also had to give extreme responses to questions regarding how they felt about their favored team and how they felt about their rival team (scale from 1, love them, to 10, hate them).The stimuli, illustrated at right, involved several plays, yielding four possible conditions: favorite team's (let's call them the Red Sox) success against the rival team (ok, it's the Yankees); Yankees' failure against the rival team (both of these, are, of course, subjectively positive); favored team's failure against the rival team (subjectively negative) and the rival team's failure against a neutral team (the Orioles. How did they get to be neutral, I wonder?). This last is the "pure schadenfreude" condition -- which is both amusing and so true.
The study's participants "rated the subjectively negative plays as significantly more angering and painful than the plays in the subjectively positive and control conditions." (emphasis mine). When the authors followed up with the participants two weeks later, the fans indicated that they were 'significantly more likely" to heckle, insult, threaten, and even hit a rival fan than an Orioles fan. Yikes! (tho', if I'm honest, this is not news to me).
To me, the methods were as entertaining as the conclusion, so I'll leave the conclusion to the folks at Psychological Science's Daily Observations, to ensure accuracy:
When the rival team hit a home run against the favored team, the brain's pain network was engaged. Most strikingly, participants who showed the greatest pleasure when watching their rival fail were also the most prone to say they might act aggressively, even violently, toward a rival fan. These results establish an initial neural link between social-mediated emotion and socially-directed action.Please note that I do not advocate sports violence in any way. Also note that I chose my team in the above example purely at random and in no way wish harm to the New York Yankees or their fans. As for the Superbowl: go Steelers! go Packers!

Because this is the holiest site in all of Buddhism, every country with a Buddhist population has built some kind of temple or monastery here. They're quite beautiful and mostly fill me with the desire to just spend months traveling around Asia to see all these other countries too.
The Thai temple was my absolute favorite, hands down. Outside above, inside below. My photos don't capture the outstanding murals on the inside depicting some Buddhist stories set in Thailand. Just beautiful.
The Japanese temple was my second favorite. Simple but peaceful: long and open on the inside with cranes and kanji splashed across the ceiling tiles. I watched a few Indians light and wave incense, then sat alone in the quiet for a while.
I'm sorry to say I forget which temple this was. 90% sure it's one of the Tibetan monasteries (of which there are several).
There is also a giant 80-foot Buddha statue in Bodhgaya, because of course.
