Europe is likely to continue to import ethylene, mainly from the US and possibly from Asia, in the second-half of 2019 as supply in Europe is expected to remain limited, while the US and Asia are expected to be inundated with supplies.

In the middle of this year, an arbitrage window for ethylene to move from Asia to Europe was technically open, after the ethylene price spread between the two locations widened to around $300/mt.
"It's a big change. Europe is structurally long, and [the] most expensive region in the world," one trader said.
Market sources said ethylene demand in Europe slowed down somewhat in July following the re-start of large crackers in Northwest Europe as well as the start of the summer holidays. There is expectation that supply for the rest of the year will experience some degree of tightness due to scheduled maintenance at some plants, with any insufficiencies to be met by imports. Should there be any turnaround, it is due to take place from late August to end of October.
Europe is likely to continue to import ethylene from the US, where supplies are ample. For 2019, five new startups are expected in the US Gulf, with capacity totaling just under 5 million mt/year. Thus far, only two out of these five plants have come on line in 2019, with Indorama's 440,000 mt/year cracker and Westlake-Lotte's 1 million mt/year cracker, both in Lake Charles.
Market participants still expect Shintech's 500,000 mt/year cracker and Sasol's 1.5 million mt/year cracker to come on line during the summer, both of which are also located in Lake Charles. That leaves Formosa Plastics 1.5 million mt/year cracker in Point Comfort, Texas, which is expected to come on line by the end of the year, concluding this first wave of new ethylene cracker startups.
US ethylene exports is also likely to increase from later this year in line with the planned start up of a new ethylene export terminal.
Enterprise Products Partners and its project partner Navigator Gas is on schedule to complete its new 1 million mt/year ethylene export terminal at Morgan's Point, Texas, near the mouth of the Houston Ship Channel by the end of 2019. Enterprise has already converted a 5.3 million-barrel ethane cavern to hold ethylene in the second quarter of this year at its operations in Mont Belvieu, the US natural gas liquids hub, east of Morgan's Point.
Asian ethylene supplies are also expected to increase towards the end of this year as maintenance is completed at key steam crackers. Some steam crackers are scheduled to be shut for planned turnaround in H2, such as Formosa's No. 2 cracker and CPC's No.4 unit. Despite these turnarounds, supplies are still expected to increase in line with the planned start up of new steam crackers such as SP Chemical and RAPID.
SP Olefins (Taixing) Co. Ltd, a unit of Singapore-based SP Chemicals, will likely start test runs of its new steam cracker in Taixing, Jiangsu province, China, around August. The steam cracker is able to produce 650,000 mt/year of ethylene. SP Chem's ethylene imports is likely to decline once the steam cracker is up and running.
Malaysia's Pengerang Refining and Petrochemical, or PRefChem, is attempting to restart its new naphtha-fed steam cracker at the Pengerang Integrated Complex in the second-half of this year. The cracker, which is able to produce 1.2 million mt/year of ethylene, is part of the RAPID project in Malaysia's southern-most state of Johor.
Meanwhile, market participants in Asia are also keeping an eye on steam cracker operations as most of these crackers are running at full capacity despite the weak ethylene/naphtha price spread. These steam crackers are essentially supported by the relatively positive propylene-butadiene/naphtha price spread.
"If other olefins start coming down, then steam cracker run cut may be likely. But still, spread between propylene-butadiene and naphtha is favourable for steam crackers," a market source said.
So far in 2019, Asian ethylene has averaged $975.65/mt CFR Northeast Asia, $1,012.23/mt CIF Northwest Europe and $323.80/mt FD USG, S&P Global Platts data showed.
US ethylene spot price is the lowest among the three regions and trade sources are of the opinion that with more startups expected to come on line, US spot prices are more than likely to continue to head south. Trade participants said that the new ethylene export terminal would likely make US ethylene prices even more competitive due to the potential demand from overseas. However, industry sources do not expect this scenario to pan out until later in 2020.
In Asia, some market sources do not expect CFR Northeast Asia ethylene to climb above $850/mt in the near-term given the high operational run rates at existing steam crackers as well as the planned start up of new steam crackers.

The 80-20 Rule
Diets are restrictive. No snacking. No ___ (fill in the blank with your favorite food). No fun. The 80-20 rule, created by Dr. Partha Nandi author of ASK DR. NANDI, looks at the way you think about food in a healthy and guilt-free way.
Once you've changed the way you eat, consuming what you like, I want to introduce you to the 80-20 rule. At least three times a day, you have the opportunity to make great choices for your body's nutritional needs. However, eating and food are for your enjoyment and should be treated as such. You should not be paralyzed by having to adhere to the ideal food choices all the time. You should also eat a diverse diet, learning about new foods and ways to prepare them. Food should never be boring. There are just too many choices, and using the Internet, you can find countless recipes for every ingredient.
It's easy to get lost when you have so many options, but with choice comes self-reliance and knowledge, two of the greatest engines of change on the planet. If you can make good choices at least 80 percent of the time, you should meet your goals to be a #healthhero. Using the 80-20 rule gives you room for the vacation to recharge and meet your goals, the birthday dinner for your kids, or the work party. Food is meant to be enjoyed, and if thinking about it and preparing it become a chore, the experience stops being about shared good times, bonding, and joy. What did I do wrong? you keep asking yourself. Nothing is the answer. Go ahead and enjoy; just be selective about how often you do it.
My father had a life-altering stroke several years ago. He was my hero, so I always found ways to celebrate him. For his birthday, we had chicken Alfredo and lasagna with rich creams and melted cheese. This is how we live our life. We don't have tiramisu every day, but when we do, we enjoy it. We love our food and what it does for our body and mind. Our family follows the 80-20 rule.
Not only during celebrations do we maintain our practice. Our young kids often want unhealthy snacks and we do occasionally reward them with treats. Of course we do our best to give them reasons they should be healthy eaters more often, but if they have great nutrition at least 80 percent of the time, we feel we are doing quite well. This flexibility allows our family to thrive. With our sons, we remind them that they are receiving a treat and that treats are not the rule. This reinforcement helps maintain the nutritional habits we want to instill.
In fact, we ourselves often need this reinforcement as well. Instead of feeling guilty about a little "cheating" on your diet, let yourself know that a little treat is okay. When I travel, I often find unique treats that I want to enjoy. They almost always are not healthy and are not a part of my daily nutritional plan.
Check out three tips that will help you look and feel better.

Wayne Myslik led Twelve Winds through the B Corporation certification process and is a passionate advocate for the value it can bring to a company's culture and brand. We caught up with Wayne to find out what inspired him to get involved with the B Corp movement and the benefits and challenges of becoming certified.
Why did Twelve Winds pursue B Corp certification?
Twelve Winds was founded on the principle that companies are inextricably linked to the communities in which they operate. It just makes good business sense to behave as responsible and valuable citizens in those communities. Being a B Corp helps us live up to our values, and serve as an example for our clients.
How does being a B Corp support Twelve Winds' strategy?
For Twelve Winds, being a B Corp is about transparency, credibility, and continual improvement.
The B Corp certification is very comprehensive as it looks at social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This framework gives us a way to report openly about what we are doing as a corporate citizen. This transparency is especially important for Twelve Winds, because we want to be an example to our clients that business can be profitable and responsible at the same time. The B Corp certification gives us the third party credibility to talk about responsible business.
This is why we were really keen to be among the Founding UK B Corps. We want to stand out as a leader, as well as be part of a network of likeminded organisations.
Twelve Winds was already doing a great deal to be a force for good, but the B Corp assessment also challenges us to continually improve our performance. We have already identified a number of areas that we think we can do better, and will be working on these in the next year.
What has been the impact of becoming a B Corporation on the Twelve Winds culture and its brand?
It's definitely had a great impact – both on the company's culture and brand.
This external recognition of our efforts boosts morale among our staff and associates. It's hugely motivating for the whole Twelve Winds team.
It has also helped us gain visibility with potential customers. Having the B Corporation certification provides us with evidence that we have walked the talk ourselves.
When did you become interested in corporate governance?
Back in the 1990s in South Africa, I was working with large employers, helping them to understand, predict, and mitigate the impact HIV/AIDS was set to have on their businesses. It became clear to us that companies could not separate themselves from the issues affecting employees, their families, and communities. And the more we ran the numbers, the more we saw that supporting people's health and wellbeing was the best way to protect the bottom line. Doing the right thing is just good business.
When did you become interested in ESG (environmental, social & governance) reporting?
South African corporate governance is guided by a set of reports called the King Reports. I was part of the consultations on the King Report II in 2001, which brought in the idea of integrated financial and non-financial reporting. Similarly, I contributed to the Global Reporting Initiative's Reporting Guidance on HIV/AIDS in 2002. Based on my experiences with employee wellness and healthcare, I realised that it was really important for businesses to be transparent about their environmental and social impacts. Interestingly, in 2010 the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) adopted the King III principles, including integrated reporting, as part of its listing requirements.
What advice would you give to those looking for a career with a positive social or environmental impact?
You don't need to work for B Corp or a company with strong sustainability credentials to make a difference. At Twelve Winds, we've seen from our clients that a company's commitment to sustainability often starts in small ways. A new challenge or problem can prompt the company to look at things in a different way. Or a passionate employee can change the discussion. Be an "intrapreneur". Work from the inside out, identify influencers in the company and pay attention so that when the opportunity arrives you are prepared.
About B Corp
B Corporations are certified by the non-profit B Lab to voluntarily meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. Certified B Corporations distinguish themselves in a cluttered marketplace by offering a positive vision of a better way to do business; better for workers, better for communities and better for the environment.
The B Corporation community includes over 1,000 companies from 38 countries and over 121 industries with nearly $3 Billion (collectively) in revenue.
B Corporations are a diverse community working together toward 1 unifying goal: harness the power of the private sector for public benefit and redefine success in business.

Fans of the Broadway musical, The Last Five Years, may be excited to know that a film adaptation is in the works. Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan have both signed on to play the leads, Cathy Hyatt and Jamie Wellerstein. The Last Five Years was written by Jason Robert Brown, has been performed off-Broadway, and has won several awards since it opened in 2001.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the musical, Kendrick's character, Cathy, is a struggling actress and Jordan's character, Jamie is a novelist who is beginning to gain some success with his writing. The story for this musical is quite unique as Jamie's story is told in chronological order, starting when they first meet, but Cathy's story is told in reverse, starting at the end of their marriage.
Richard LaGravenese will be directing, writing, and co-producing this film adaptation with Lauren Versel, Kurt Deutsch, and Janet Brenner for Lucky Monkey Pictures.
Are you familiar with this musical? Do you think Kendrick and Jordan will work well together? What do you think of these casting choices? If you are not familiar with the musical, does this sound like something you would be interested in seeing?

Homeschooling is not easy but it is rewarding. It is also
true that you will only get back what you put in. Below are some hints that may
be helpful.
Set a steady pace. Do not try and rush
through work to get students up to "standard." The truth
is that after Primary school most students, regardless of whether they come
from a private or state school, need to start at the same place since they have
gaps in the following areas: fractions, percentages and decimals; grammar;
spelling and the mechanics of writing.
Mark the work and make the students
correct what they have wrong. Marking each time works better than marking once
a week.
Spelling words need to be learnt and
therefore each unit is intended to last a week. Spelling helps extend a student's vocabulary. Just reading books is not enough.
Spelling checks do not solve all problems. My youngest is dyslexic and for
years the word "does" always appeared as "dose." The spelling checker was no
help with this. Most spelling books have dictation at
the back of the book for those who would like it.
Presentation: some children write neater
than others but all children, apart from those with severe learning problems,
should be asked to present neat, legible work. Like a lot of other lessons
learnt when small, this prepares children for later
life. In many situations in life you get only one chance to present yourself.
Some academics believe handwriting will not be necessary in the future, but
some things will always need to be written by hand, e.g., your signature. These are probably the same academics who
said years ago that printed books would no longer be used. E-readers would be
used instead. They were wrong. More books are being sold now than ever.
Complete English, maths and spelling
each day. Do not do them in a block of one or two
days each. Learning needs to be measured and regular. You can juggle slightly
with other subjects. Complete these three subjects in the morning when the
student is fresh. There is plenty of time in the afternoon for less academic subjects. I found it easier to have only one
activity in the afternoon, e.g., cooking, craft or library etc.

The National Post cartoonist offers an inclusive interpretation of Stompin' Tom Connors's classic Hockey Song.
Books for Kids: Gary Clement invites everyone to the good ol' hockey game
National Post editorial cartoonist Gary Clement, whose work has also appeared in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, has made occasional forays into children's literature, most recently in 2015 with his depiction of that familiar summer rallying cry: Swimming, Swimming.
This year, again using the lyrics of a time-honoured song to gather kids together, Clement has created a companion piece to the summer classic, focusing instead on a winter scene — that of an outdoor skating rink and the local residents who congregate one evening for an impromptu game.The Hockey Song uses lyrics by the late Stompin' Tom Connors — familiar to anyone who has ever watched Hockey Night in Canada or been to a Toronto Maple Leafs home game — and Clement's detailed, scratchy art brings the words to life. As he did with Swimming, Swimming, Clement fills this book with people of all ages, races, genders and team loyalties. What brings them together is a love of hockey, and the pleasure of gathering in the evening to pass the puck and get in some exercise before bedtime.
Clement sets the stage by giving us a father and son kitted out in team colours — dad in a Maple Leafs jersey, son in the Boston Bruins colours, both toting their hockey sticks across a snow-covered field with city lights in the background. On the title page, that same father is kneeling in front of his son, tying the laces on the boy's skates in a heartwarming scene. Then, in a two-page spread, we see them on the ice — two lone figures on an outdoor skating rink as a woman walks her dog in the foreground and the opening lyrics of Stompin' Tom's song appear overhead in colourful hand-lettering: "Hello out there! We're on the air / it's hockey night tonight."
(Unfortunately, the book does not come with a CD of Connors singing his song, but a quick YouTube search will yield various versions. Once that tune is in your head, you'll find yourself humming it for days.)
Father and son are soon joined on the ice by a teen skater in a Canadiens jersey, and the number of players continues to grow on subsequent pages. By the time we get to the song's refrain ("Oh! The good ol' hockey game, is the best game you can name / And the best game you can name, is the good ol' hockey game"), the rink is filled with players chasing the puck. Some are in team jerseys, others in warm sweaters; one man in a regular coat, scarf and hat looks as if he just stopped off on his way home from the office. Kids are wearing hockey helmets, teens are in baseball caps and tuques, some are wearing earmuffs or no headgear at all, and one dad is wearing a turban. In the end, they're all posed on the ice, as if for a triumphant team photo.
Hockey lovers will embrace this book, but even those who aren't absorbed in the game will appreciate the sense of community Clement conveys. Stompin' Tom would be proud.

When I first began to move into what Yoga describes as the Vanaprashta or forest dweller stage of life (50-75 years) it was quite confronting to discover that I didn't have the physical and emotional capacities I once had. I couldn't even say 'the mind is willing but the body is weak', because often the mind wasn't willing either. As a Pitta/Virgo I had done 'intense and challenging' most of my life. You could say it was my second nature. I have come to realise however that it is not my true nature, and so learning to live gently has become both an intention and challenge for me during these autumn years of life.
My first real introduction to taking a gentler approach in life was when I embarked on my first yoga training residential at Mangrove Yoga at the ripe old age of 53. I felt a bit daunted by the undertaking and in my worst moments, I imagined a room filled with younger, more elastic, stronger bodies, with me in the corner needing a nana nap.
There were 38 of us, all ages and shapes, all at different levels of yoga experience, ranging from years of teaching experience to never having sat on a yoga mat. What I loved most was that at some point during our time together those differences were no longer relevant. Together, we slowly put away our preconceptions and past experiences to unpack the depth of the deceptively simple foundational poses that initially seemed 'boring' and 'easy'. For those like me who 'have to get it right' or are used to a more strenuous practice, the challenge was in experiencing the subtlety of a gentle wrist or ankle rotation without feeling bored. Gradually, I began to experience the profound healing in gentleness.
I have also been learning how to bring this softer, gentler way to my day to day activities – namely my to do list. This ever-present list used to be my anchor until it became more like the bane of my life. Even if I loved doing something, as soon as it went on my list, it became a 'should', and somehow I had reached a point of rebellion in my life where all 'shoulds' were to be avoided and procrastinated upon if possible. This created a dilemma because my daily routine (dinacharya) of practices (sadhanas) that I enjoyed doing, and knew were helping me feel well and happy, had become like chores to be avoided. What to do?
The advice of one of my Ayurvedic teachers, Dr Claudia Welch, showed me a gentler way, she suggested I to 'care for the things that care for me'. Instead of focusing on the 'to do' list, to consider the care factor. My daily Sadhana/practices care for me. They support and protect me and add value to my life. In turn, I can 'care for them' by valuing, protecting and supporting them so that they remain a part of my life. I know this may sound a bit Zen, but if you sit with it, it is really quite profound. Caring is much softer and gentler than should.
All in all, I am thoroughly enjoying the Vanaprashta classroom. The experience of transitioning into a less busy, more inward focused time of life and discovering a softer, gentler, more allowing way of being in the world.

Obesity and Weight Gain
With the huge increase in obesity both male and female we are looking at a trend that predicates a malaise at the very heart of society and food. The individual, not understanding the mechanisms involved has little chance of affecting his or her self without the correct guidance and understanding. No regime of dieting or exercise will overcome a population suffering from mineral and vitamin deficient toxic food. The body eats because it needs – it cannot get the nutrition from the food – so it will eat more to try and satisfy.
Toxins accumulate in the tissues, the body compensates by flooding the tissues with water to dilute the lethal toxic overload. We are overweight. On an individual level the answer is to energetically balance the body, educate the client, ensure change of diet to include foodstate minerals and vitamins, and teach them to select the raw materials as best they can and to cook and prepare in a way they ensure they are getting some nutritive value from the food.
Most patients in this state will present with bowel problems stemming from poor digestion of inappropriate foodstuffs, liver congestion and possible kidney inefficiencies, hence a structured program of colonics, liver flush and kidney cleansing may be indicated. Herbal support for the major organs, homeopathics and bioenergetics all play their part. Everyone is individual and has to be treated as such to get the best result. Adhering to the blood group diet has helped many to avoid the foodstuffs they simply cannot digest and would otherwise increase the toxin levels and maintain the obesity.

Comedian and political commentator Samantha Bee isn't letting a little thing like being Canadian stop her from acting as one of the strongest voices of reason in the US political election. As the host of Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, she's not just one of the only women in late-night, but she's also one of the only late-night hosts who has publicly taken Donald Trump to task throughout his campaign of racism, homophobia and misogyny.
With a little over 24 hours left until America decides whether its population stays the same or there's a mass exodus to Canada, now seems like the perfect time for the producers at Full Frontal to release a super cut of every insult Bee has hurled at Trump. Surprisingly, it's less than two minutes long. We really feel like she could've filled two hours.
Bee's poetic license when describing the Republican nominee is equal parts hilarious and horrifying, because let's not forget that everything she's saying has a kernel of truth. Unlike everything Trump is saying. Or anything Trump is saying, for that matter.
Our personal favourites include "Melting hunk of uninformed apricot jello," "America's burst appendix," "Crotch-fondling slab of rancid meatloaf," and "Sixteen-month Hindenburg explosion." The woman is a wordsmith.
Leaving her role as writer and on-camera correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in 2015 after 12 years on the series, Bee began hosting her Monday night political show in February 2016. The first season of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has included a number of high-profile guest appearances and interviews, including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, and just last week, an exclusive sit down with President Barack Obama.
In only its first season, Full Frontal has already earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing on a Variety Series.
Watch a new episode of Full Frontal With Samantha Bee tonight at 10:30 pm E.T. on The Comedy Network, where we're pretty sure she may have a thing or two to say about tomorrow's election.

Feng Shui Consultations:
"The last company I worked for went out of business and I desperately searched for work for over 9 months. David Nutter did a Feng Shui consultation on my house making adjustments to my Career, Fame, and Benefactors life areas. Two weeks later I found a wonderful job!"
P. Ward, Albuquerque, NM
"I previously had a Feng Shui consultation on my home by a consultant from a different school of Feng Shui. One year later, David Nutter did a consultation on my home and I saw immediate improvement in all areas of my life.
Within weeks, I received a $4,500 insurance reimbursement which, after two years, I had given up on. Additionally, men started crawling out of the woodwork whcih I found very interesting and delightful. I have more direction and focus. Tremendous opportunities continue to emerge and now life has become an incredible adventure!"
HT, Pagosa Springs, CO
"Thank you again for the Feng Shui work you did on my townhouse!
After being on the market for some time with no luck, the changes you shared allowed us to sell the house just 4 days after your consultation! We even got our asking price and had a waiting list if that offer fell through!"
LGD, Morgantown, WV
"David, we sold our home in 3 hours for the full asking price before it was even listed on the market!!! Wow! Thank you so very much!!
CM, Morgantown, WV
"Ever since we implemented your Feng Shui suggestions, our business has increased dramatically - it has almost doubled!! You are truly a Feng Shui Master!!"
RK, LMT, Fairmont, WV
"David - it happened!! A couple signed a contract on my house Sunday! They came in from NY and saw 6 properties, including mine, on Saturday. On Sunday, they came back over for 2 1/2 hours and signed that evening before going back to NY. They kept telling that "they felt so good in my house." I love Feng Shui!
JA, Morgantown, WV
"David - 'It's all about the Feng Shui'...that's my response when friends and family say: 'I can't believe you sold your house already!'
My husband was offered a new job in San Francisco in late September. Knowing that fall and winter are not prime real estate times, I called you a week before the 'For Sale' sign went up.
Four days later, our house sold! In the same night we received two competing bids from two different local couples. We will move out of our house in less than 45 days with a check for the full asking price!
Thank you David! You and your Feng Shui are stars in my book!"
CO, Morgantown, WV
"After taking a Beginners Feng Shui Class series from David Nutter, I was able to bring balance and harmony into my life which manifested in two major ways:
Just six weeks into a new job, I was unexpectedly given a $3,000 annual salary increase.
I now have an overall sense of feeling better about myself which resulted in a higher level of self-esteem. This change in my mind set affects all other areas of my life!
Having the Feng Shui concept in my life makes so much sense to me..."
GLM, Morgantown, WV
"I did the Feng Shui enhancements that I learned from you in your classes and my wish was granted many fold via an unexpected turn of events. I received a BIG check within a month. I have no doubt that enhancing my WEALTH "life area" created the means for us to receive the unexpected money.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge - it works, you have to believe it!!"
NW, Weston, WV
"I have wonderful news! I just got accepted into the nursing program for this year. My dreams are coming true!
Thank you so much for being a great teacher! Learning Feng Shui has opened my life up to all kinds of new and wonderful opportunities!"
JB, Marietta, OH
"I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your Feng Shui class! It has already made a difference in my life! I did some enhancements in my LOVE "life area" on Sunday night. Monday morning, I had people talking to me who never spoke to me before. Then on Tuesday at the gym, I had 4 different men approach me and carry on lengthy conversations. That same evening, I went out with my girlfriend and several guys stopped to talk to me. Feng Shui Rocks!!"
WC, Greensboro, NC
"I took your Feng Shui classes mainly because my husband started saying the 'D' word about a month ago. I placed enhancements that I learned from you in my LOVE areas and we are now getting along famously!!
I also remembered that you said the KNOWLEDGE life area of my house was also a weak point and I Feng Shui-ed that area too. I now have a clear head and no longer am having a hard time making simple decisions like whether to go for a walk or go to the grocery store."
MJW, Morgantown, WV
My Feng Shui Book:
"I was very impressed by your presentation at the Universal Light Expo last fall. I finally finished reading your book and working on my home (and my daughter's). Thank you for all the excellent, and easy to understand, Feng Shui info in your book The Basics of Feng Shui!
JH, Columbus, OH
"I have a degree in English and I know when any book is well written. David Nutter's book, The Basics of Feng Shui, is the easiest book to read and understand that I have ever seen on the subject!"
PL, Buckhannon, WV
"At first I was skeptical about Feng Shui. Your book, The Basics of Feng Shui, made me quickly to become quite interested and I started implementing what I learned.
I had recently left a long term and secure job to start a new technology company. I was concerned about my future and the company's success.
Within 3 - 4 months, I started seeing progressive growth in my company. Today I now have a multi million dollar company thanks to you and your book!!"
JC, Morgantown, WV
Mineral Empowerment Feng Shui:
"After experiencing profound results in my home, I filled my son's hands with some minerals David Nutter recommended to me.
within 10 days, he landed the job he had wanted for months and went from homeless to an apartment of his own.
If you're looking for quick and definate results, I highly recommend David Nutter's suggestions on the power of minerals!"
BSM, Tacoma, WA
"I bought some stones, which you recommended, to utilize your Mineral Empowerment Feng Shui at the Universa Light Expo in Oct. 2010 to help sell our house. It took about 4 weeks and is in contract now! During those 4 weeks, we had more showings than in the previous 12 months that our house was on the market!
PM, Columbus, OH
"I was having problems with my neighbors. I used a Feng Shui technique that David Nutter developed using a mineral with the intent of them going on to their highest good. A few days later, my landlord emailed me and said that the neighbors would be leaving!"
BD, Columbus, OH
Reiki Healings:
"After your Reiki Healing, I actually slept ALL night and without pain pills! It was wonderful! I felt so relaxed!
LV, Morgantown, WV
I was very surprised by what followed my Reiki Healing with you! I have been waking up earlier. I organized and purged a ton of things from my office. I have been drinking a ton of water and eating mostly clean. I've also been exercising daily (which is amazing). I have noted major changes, for the better, in my energy levels!
KC, Fairmont, WV
"Your Reiki Treatment did WONDERS for my body!! Whatever it was that was disturbing me physically was greatly lessened immediately after the Reiki and was literally knocked out within a couple of days after! My body is back to normal and I feel so much better!"
Michelle, Albuquerque, NM
"The past several months, I have had extremely low energy and major depression. After just one Reiki session with David, I began to feel more alive and less depressed! The second Reiki session was awesome! The pain I've had in my neck for many years totally disappeared and I had an immediate feeling of joy!
The loving, healing energy that flows from David is both wonderful and miraculous! Thank You!"
LS, Fairmont, WV
"Thank you so much for coming to our home to give my loved one a Reiki treatment! She slept deeper, is calmer when awake, and now holds her head up without using her hands to prop it up! What wonders you do!"
BP, Morgantown, WV
"This is a testiment to the Reiki abilities of David Nutter. A friend recommended him to me and I did not know him, or had ever experienced Reiki, prior to this. I suffer from depression, bilateral cervical radicalopathy and bilateral lumbar radicalopathy. The pain I feel daily has left me unable to work, sit for long periods, or walk for long periods. Prior to the session, I did not tell him of this - just that I was okay but had some pain. During the session, so many things occurred. He touched my head and I could feel great warmth, and a vibration, from his hands. He moved his hands slowly down my face, neck, shoulders, torso, going down to my hips. His touch was over my clothing and my husband was there the entire time. Throughout the sessions, his hands stayed extremely warm. As he touched areas which were causing me pain, I felt release. I was getting a headache before the treatment which went away and the multiple muscle spasms in my shoulders totally released. My lower back was hurting down to the tailbone and most of that pain left as well.
After the treatment, David told me what he felt was wrong as he said he felt 'cold' energy coming from my neck, ribs and lower back. I was injured in a car wreck which threw my lower back out and gave me severe whiplash. Five months after the accident, I fell and injured my tailbone. He did not know this!
That night , I slept so good and the next day, taking my usual medications, I felt great!! Not all the pain was was gone but it was way beyond 'bearable.' It was the best day I can remember in many years!"
AE, Clarksburg, WV
Reiki Classes:
"I had never heard of Reiki until my daughter had a chance encounter with a Reiki Master in her area. After several conversations with the Reiki Master, my daughter contacted me and relayed that she needed a healing and most of her chakras unblocked. I told her to set up an appointment and, as I have since learned, there are no coincidences as I shortly after received an email from you that you would be offering Reiki 1 classes. I hesitated in signing up for the class thinking 'What if I couldn't learn Reiki? What if I couldn't help my daughter Heather even if I did learn it?' After contacting you and meditating on it, I signed up for your class.
"What a wonderful surprise!! I was so impressed at how easy you made it to learn Reiki. I went on to take Reiki 2 and Reiki 3/Reiki Master Teacher. I am happy to say that Heather is doing great and I am healthier, and more contented, than I have ever been. I know that Reiki will always be there for me and for others!"
MJW, Shinnston, WV
"I wanted to share with you what I felt during the Reiki 3/Reiki Master attunement. First, something major within me shifted. When your hands were over mine, closed, after you drew the symbols in my palms, I felt this overwhelming sense of transformation and confidence. There was this extremely strong energy radiating from you that was incredible. Since then, my level of confidence has not waivered when it comes to the ability to give and receive. When you have talked about experiencing a Karmic Release from Reiki attunements, I wanted you to know that I immediately felt more motivated to do things the next day. I had a similar clearing feeling after the Reiki 1 and 2 attunements, but this time something else changed in me. I have been able to let go of some things. I find myself shifting more quickly. My perspective and reaction to things that once just killed me to sit through has changed. I have to say that while I am excited about finishing all 3 levels, I am sorry that I won't see you as much as I feel so good in the presence of your amazing energy. I can only describe it as an overall calming, warm, welcoming, and accepting energy - I also feel like you recharge my spiritual batteries LOL. I feel very privileged to have received all my training from you! It has been an honor David! Thank you so much for everything!"
AS, Fairmont, WV
"I am a graduate of David Nutter's Reiki 1 and 2 classes and am so happy I chose him to be my teacher. Since finishing these two, I have taken Reiki Master classes with a couple of other teachers, both online and in person. I can genuinely, and without a doubt, say that they did not come close to David's thoroughness or teaching style. David makes sure that you know what you've been taught, understand why things are the way they are, and gives practical experience working with the things you've learned.
David is a wonderful teacher who cares about his students and it shows! Whenever I have left his class, I felt that I have 100% received what I paid for and in most cases more. I hope that I'll be able to take David's Reiki 3/RMT classes before I leave WV as I just don't quite feel like a Reiki Master yet (although I have the title), and won't until I receive attunements and knowledge from him"
SL, Clarksburg, WV
T'ai Chi:
"OMG!!! - This is the first time ever that I have 9 recruits set before lunch! I started T'ai Chi classes with David Nutter and they reduce stress. I felt at peace yesterday in class and this morning I felt the same. I love T'ai Chi and feel it is a great boost for me! It is a GREAT DAY!
Jessica B., Shinnston, WV.
"Thanks to your T'ai Chi classes, I am more limber, breathing better, and my kidney function has improved!"
MJW, Shinnston, WV
"I should like to recommend David Nutter for instruction in the art of T'ai Chi. My wife and I have found his teaching to be fast, effective, and fun. The exercises have been easily integrated into our daily routine and has given us a renewed sense of physical strength and vitality. I consider David's teaching approach to be both sensible and challenging, and I hope that others will also find a new sense of personal awakening from his precise instruction in this ancient art."
William H PhD, Rio Rancho, NM
"David Nutter is a very knowledgeable and "fun" T'ai Chi instructor. His style of teaching is very non-threatening, that is, he made me feel comfortable while participating and was meticulous in his instruction. I would highly recommend his T'ai Chi classes to anyone!"
DS, Rio Rancho, NM
Self Empowerment:
"I cannot express how much David Nutter's Self Empowerment coaching and classes have helped me in everything I do. I have learned to express myself without feeling shy or fearful. I now have control over my own life and how I'm going to live it!"
BG, Albuquerque, NM
"I consider David Nutter's Self Empowerment coaching and classes to be an exceptional tool for self growth, motivation, and the healing of the self - especially with regards to self esteem. It helps one to experience greater direction and purpose in their life whether it be in business and/or any type of relationship matters. Anyone who has ever feared to speak out or stand up for themselves should contact David."

For a super-long look, turn the dial to extend the brush and sweep the mascara on your upper lashes from root to tip, slowly wiggling it from side to side. If volume is what you seek, turn the dial to contract the brush and sweep upward to lengthen and separate. This smudgeproof mascara provides total coverage and perfect curl without clumping, smearing, or damaging your eyelashes or extensions—so you can wear it to the office, concert, or gym with confidence. Still, it comes off easily with cleanser at the end of the day.

Fire accidents can take place anywhere at any time. Along with smoke detectors, it is also important to install fire extinguishers in the important areas in-house like kitchen, bedrooms, garage, in corporate offices, Malls, shopping complex, etc. A fire drill is essential as everyone would be aware as to where to go and what to do in case of a fire accident. Research says that it hardly takes two minutes to escape if there is a fire accident in a home. Not only the smoking detectors but also a fire escape plan has to be practiced regularly so that you can save many lives. Here are a few safety tips you must learn.
Fire Risk Assessments
As the owner of a business, or employee, or a member of the house, it is our sole responsibility to check if any steps are taken to remove any fire hazards from its place. Fire awareness training is necessary to help you identify the hazardous elements and save the lives of people who are at risk. Even in your workplace, the assessment can be carried out, to reduce the risks and inform them beforehand regarding the procedures.
Appointing Responsible Person
Checking the fire safety procedures now and then takes time. In one such scenario, appointing a fire warden can help you out. They can be your eyes and ears and perform the duties of fire safety. They are solely responsible for regularly checking the fire equipment in a workplace. They have to perform a monthly check on the emergency lights and extinguishers, test the sounders and fire alarm call points on a weekly basis, and, check the fire exit doors. Appointing more than one warden can help you if the other person is on leave.
Clean Workspace
Removing the unwanted waste like cardboard, paper and, wood in your workplace can clear the clutter and prevent the fire hazard. An untidy workplace can give risk to fire accidents if the employees have evacuated immediately. It is the sole responsibility of the employee to keep his/her workplace clean and clutter free to ensure safety while working.
Detection and Warnings
As a business owner, it is essential that you install a fire alarm in your office to alert your employees in case of a fire break out. Also, check the functioning of these fire alarms consistently. Despite the fire alarms, make sure to install other safety equipment like fire extinguishers, emergency exits, emergency lightings, fire safety signs and so on.
Fire Safety Policy
A fire safety policy is always a good practice so that all the employees will know what to do in case of fire accidents in the workplace. Post a plan and evacuation route near the fire exits so that every employee will know how to evacuate the building immediately. Also, anyone using fire safety equipment should have received proper training and know what to do in case of fire
These few tips can be of best help in case of fire accidents in the workplace. Make sure you have proper knowledge on handling the equipment.

Quickly contain and defeat attacks within your environment to ensure the impact is minimized. OccamSec works with the resources you have to improve your capabilities and augment them as needed.
Combating those who can have the most impact.
Adversaries are broken down in various ways, most of our experience has shown there are three types, as shown in the diagram to the left.
The majority of them are less likely to cause an organization major harm. The top 30% present a more formidable problem. Incident response becomes far more difficult with attackers who do not leave an obvious trail, as does detecting their activities. A wider range of response options may be required. Training becomes imperative if an organization is to effectively handle an attack of this nature. In all instances the ability to learn from incidents at all levels can provide an advantage.
