Education: A Blast From The Past
John Vodila at thetruthnews.info
The path we have followed for so long.
It's amazing how long this has been going on, so today I would like to share some audio files I have chosen out of the library of Dr. Peter Beter. I have included the link to this library at the bottom of the page.
It is amazing to listen to intelligence from decades past and compare the correlations to the times today and how they coincide so closely. As back in the days of these audios, today we don't get everything right but no-one is a mind reader or a future teller, but it's amazing how close some get.
The war on America and the world has been going on for a long time and I believe we are near a climax once again, the manipulation and theft by the few of generations is astonishing.
As of today 12/9/2011 with the knowledge we have of the corruption and the well-known conspiracy theories that are known now to be bonified conspiracies such as the federal reserve not being federal and having no reserves of anything, the New World Order now an almost everyday word on the main stream media, it is now unavoidable to just shrug-off these truths as lunacy. For those that do they do it at their own peril and the peril of their children and future generations as we for reasons I will never be able to understand march down THEIR path blindly like livestock to the slaughter house to our uncertain demise.
I hope you find these historical interviews as educational and mind blowing as I.
Dr. Beter was General Counsel for the Export-Import Bank of Washington; a candidate for the governorship of West Virginia; cofounded SODESMIR, a mineral exploration company in Zaire; represented American gas utilities building a pipeline the length of Argentina; represented mining interests in underwater manganese nodule exploration in the Pacific; was featured at financial seminars in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal, Geneva, and other international financial centers. As a political and economic commentator, Dr. Beter worked with Wall Street luminaries including Franz Pick, Edward Durell, Colonel Curtis Dall, Norman Dodd, Emmanuel Josephson, and many others. He wrote prolifically, including Conspiracy Against the Dollar (Braziller New York).

Viva Forever…
Or not for this musical which sets to shut in June with a huge 5 million in losses..!
After seeing it, I'm not surprised! I ignored the terrible reviews being of the opinion that the press rarely give anything linked to the Spice Girls a fair trial. They may never have been musically brilliant but their sales of 'over 80 million records worldwide, makes them the best-selling female group of all time, one of the best-selling pop groups of all time and also the most successful British band since the Beatles' (Sourced Wikipedia). So love them or not and at the time I was more on the side of not, considering myself somewhat more cool and alternative than a Spice Girls fan on hindsight you can't deny their 90's pop legacy 'Girl Power'!
So whilst I wasn't expecting a musical masterpiece based on Spice Girls music I did think the show would be fun and entertaining yet unfortunately it was utterly disappointing. Originally I had planned to take Madam but was relieved to have taken my sister instead as she would have been frustrated by all the giggling at cringy innuendo that she didn't understand. The story is based around a girl group trying to achieve fame through an X-Factor style show. When shock horror their mentor says she'll only take one girl (Viva) through to the final stages. The focus then turns to her success on the show, rise to fame and the fickleness of stardom. As an after thought they throw in a romance between Viva and her music teacher and entirely miss the obvious theme of friendship and girl power.
The enthusiasm of the performers isn't what lets the show down Hannah John-Kamen (Viva) sings a haunting version of 'Mama' far superior to the Spice Girls version. Hatty Preston (Minty), Sally Ann-Triplet (Lauren) and Lucy Montgomery (Suzi) were amusing, performed well and just about kept straight faces as they played roles suspiciously similar to Bubbles, Edwina & Patsy. Jennifer Saunders obviously didn't find it easy to link the hits into the script and I think could win awards for tenuous links as Viva abandoning her friends becomes 'Say You'll Be There', a discussion about Viva's Mother (Lauren) not shaving her lady garden 'Too Much' and finally Lauren and her new partner re-discovering their sex life via 'Two Become One'.
The whole thing strikes me as something that was dragged together after a few too many bottles if wine that sounded funny at the time. Just as you think it can't get much worse they arrive in Spain in order to play a few of the Spice Girls carnival style tracks and just in case you don't know it's Spain there's a cardboard cut out bull in the scenery. When they get to the romantic moment thrown in for good measure he declares he's written a song about her…
The row behind us were sniggering, we were sniggering. Bet you can't guess the song he's written about her but I'm hoping and sure it can't be. They've only just met yet the lyrics imply a childhood friendship grown to something more and then lost but never forgotten. It's by far my favourite Spice Girls song, it's the headline song, they're going to murder it, it doesn't fit but what the hell let chuck it in….
Viva Forever!
I was kindly given these tickets by Superbreak and what a relief as I would've felt these tickets a complete waste of money which is something I never thought I'd say about a musical. I am a huge fan of many musicals and usually find them worth every penny and only wish I could go more often. Luckily Superbreak offer a variety of London Theatre Breaks, including Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and Wicked all of which I'd never bore of seeing!

edward and bella
If ever there were a classic vampire-human love saga, it's this one. There's something so intriguing about the sweet innocence of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan's love, and it's only getting juicier as the series progresses. Twihards everywhere are eagerly awaiting the series' next installment, Breaking Dawn, set to be released this November, and we have a feeling things are going to get a little hotter pretty soon.
elena, stefan and damon
Although we're all rooting for Elena and Stefan to get back together (once we returns from his crazy killing spree, of course), we've got to admit: We have quite a soft spot for his brother Damon. The two brothers once fought over Elena's doppelganger, Katherine, and they continue to fight for the attention of the beautiful Elena. We can't wait to see who comes out on top.
sookie and bill
We love it when life imitates art, and in this case, it really does. Anna Paquin and Steven Moyer, real-life newlyweds, play the lovesick Sookie and Bill, and keep our hearts racing every Sunday. Through blood thirsty killings and supernatural disasters, these two have always held a strong connection. And hey, if you can put up with your man's blood-thirsty tendencies, you've got to be pretty in love, right?

I am a beginner I started two days ago but I'm on the basics and as my first basic I chose meditation, I got used to it and the positions.
And I just had to post this after my result with binaural beats on YouTube,
A recommendation for anyone who is like me and is doing this but finds a bit of trouble keeping focused (we are beginners after all) binaural beats are amazing.
My results were great I got one that lasts for one hour and I did ten minutes of it every consecutive hour the results the next morning were to die for.
Mediation positions (just names)
The Burmese Position. This is the simplest position in which the legs are crossed with both knees resting flat on the floor. One ankle is in front of the other, not over.
The Half Lotus Position (Hankafuza). This is done by placing the left foot onto the right thigh and tucking the right leg under your left thigh.
The Full Lotus Position (Kekkafuza). This is by far the most stable of all positions. It is done by placing each foot onto the opposite thigh. This might be slightly painful at first but keep trying and the muscles in your legs will loosen up. It is not recommended, however, if you have chronic knee pain.
The Kneeling Position (Seiza). Kneel with your hips resting on your ankles.
The Chair Position. It's perfectly fine to sit on a chair but it's essential that you keep your back straight.
The Standing Position. This is helpful position, practiced in Korea and China, for people who cannot sit for long periods of time. Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Your heels should be slightly closer together than your big toes. Lay your hands over your belly, right hand over left. Do not lock your knees.
I got this off http://www.wikihow.com/Begin-Zen-Meditation-(Zazen)
I hope this helped

Return error.The above is how it is always meant to work. The above works for both newallocations and for old. It works even if an earlier read had failed (dueto wrong permissions for example - think about NFS page caches where somepeople may be unable to actually fill a page, so that you need to re-tryon failure). The above is how the regular read/write paths work (modulobugs). And it's also how the swap cache should work.

A member and an officer of Sudbury Town Council have told how a woman convicted of a £15,000 fraud nearly got away with it.
Lucy McNaul from Grenville Road, Sudbury, was convicted last week of stealing £15,000 of public money that had been earmarked for a youth centre in the town.
Ipswich Crown Court heard on August 8, how McNaul was left with £15,000 from the £29,400 grant she was awarded – but failed to return the unused cash.
McNaul, who pleaded guilty to an offence of fraud by false representation, was caught out when the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) produced a list of successful projects which its grants had supported and which listed McNaul's centre.
Keen followers of the youth club proposal, Sudbury town councillor John Sayers and deputy town clerk Jacqui Howells together spotted the claim and reported to the MoJ that the planned clubhouse and community hub had never actually been set up.
"Eventually we managed to speak to someone [from the MoJ]," Mrs Howells said.
"As far as they were concerned they were convinced the money had been spent and the project finished."
Mr Sayers agreed, saying: "If it was not for myself and Jacqui nothing would have happened.
"She would probably have got away with it."
A spokesman for the MoJ said: "These allegations were taken seriously and we cooperated fully with the police investigation. Action was taken as soon as we became aware of concerns about the possible misuse of funding."
Both were unhappy that the £15,000 left over, after some of the grant had been legitimately used by McNaul, had still not come to Sudbury.
The money had been earmarked for renting a premises above the Co-operative store in East Street, Sudbury, until the proposed premises were no longer available.
Despite a deadline for returning unused funds to the MoJ – and later correspondence in which McNaul said she would send a cheque to cover the £15,000 – nothing was ever received.
"We had hoped the money would come back," said Mrs Howells.
"But it doesn't seem likely. It's disappointing, there's currently a need in the town and funding is difficult to obtain."
Mr Sayers said he, too, was "bitterly disappointed" by the whole situation and the opportunity missed to create a new centre for young people.
"This money was destined for a youth centre and we have nothing to show for it," he said.
"I am responsible for building up the youngsters' expectations.
"We had faith in her, when she came to the town council and presented we believed she was sincere."
Sentencing, Judge Rupert Overbury said McNaul's offending had been serious and had it not been for the long delay in the case coming to court after her full confession, he would have imposed an immediate prison sentence.
Instead, McNaul was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment suspended for 12 months, plus 180 hours of unpaid community work.
Mr Sayers said the sentence was not "as severe" as he thought it might have been.
"The amount of money was quite considerable," he said.
"In my book she's got off lightly, she's fortunate."

Working Environment: Italy Seeks Even Safer Workplaces
Safety and Health at Work are an issue taken very seriously in Italy, and the onus is on employers to cut down job-related risks.
Risk assessments
Under articles 28 and 29 Decree 81/08, companies are required to perform a risk assessment in order to determine which hazards workers face in their specific working environments and how big are the risks involved. This analysis is the job of the employer, and it cannot be delegated or outsourced. The employer is also obliged to consult with representative of the workers' council ("rappresentante dei lavoratori", or RLS). Companies employing less than 50 employees can make a risk assessment based on a standardized procedures developed by the Standing Advisory Committee on health and safety at work (Article 6 of Decree 81 / 2008) if workers are not subject to particular risk factors.
In order to limit liability, employers can appoint a safety representative ("Preposto") who is responsible for making sure the company is in compliance with its legal obligations. The Preposto must also inform his line manager in case of violations and ensure that only properly trained employees have access to areas of high risk.
Health checks
Under Italian law, certain workers must be subject to health checks paid for by the employer. Typical examples include workers exposed to hazardous substances such as biological or chemicals agents. The employer must also ensure that each worker receives sufficient training in health and safety procedures.
Violations of these rules, especially when they lead to injury or death, can lead to serious penalties, fines and even jail time for executives found culpably negligent. Even minor violations can lead to costly administrative fines. In case of serious and repeated safety violations, the entire company or a subsidiary can be closed down by the authorities.

I disagree, I just think AMANDA and a few other related packages have been "good enough" for most people, including myself; so is the lack of simple and flexible tools.

Starting A Food Truck Business Part 1 – The Basic Startup Costs
On the off chance you haven't noticed, food trucks, once one of the few means of getting food to things like construction sites and Hollywood movie sets, have stepped outside their normal boundaries and have essentially taken over every city in the US. And these trucks are not at all like food trucks of old. Greasy reheated tacos are few and far between and soggy burgers are a thing of the past. In a nutshell, food trucks have upped their game and now it's easy to find gourmet burgers with bacon jam, delicious crepes, and decadent treats on every street corner.
If you, like me, have toyed with the idea of jumping on the bandwagon (or, in this case, the food wagon), and starting your own food truck, then how much it will cost to get up and running is likely one of the top questions you have.
Most obvious is the cost for the truck itself. If you're looking for a new truck then prices can easily run upwards of $150,000 depending on what type of kitchen facilities you need built into the truck. It is possible to get used trucks and the price range is pretty wide. A quick search found used truck prices from $20,000 to $110,000 but that doesn't include any changes to the kitchen equipment or layout that you may need or customization of the outside of the vehicle. There is also the option of renting a mobile food truck and prices, depending on where you live, can be $1000 – $3000/month. With rental trucks though you will also likely be limited to the kitchen facilities that the vehicle is already equipped with.
Next up are your basic business startup costs which include things like your state and federal business licenses, city licenses, your health permit, and food handlers licenses for any employees. Most likely you will also need to rent either commercial kitchen space or a commissary depending on the regulations for your city. Throw in some business liability insurance and vehicle insurance too and you're easily looking at $500-$2000/month depending on your location which does not include the cost for the truck itself, labor, gas, or ingredients.
All of this may sound expensive but keep in mind that it's nothing compared with the costs of starting and operating a restaurant. A food truck is a phenominal way to reach a different customer base every day (or even every hour!) and trucks are nimble enough to change – be it location or menu options – as the market changes. Not to mention that food trucks can add to their revenue stream by offering catering for special events. How much fun would it be to attend a wedding where a gourmet food truck pulls up for dinner. You know that wedding – and that food truck – would not soon be forgotten!
Part 2 later this week will take a look at the logistics of getting a food truck business up and running. In Part 3 I'll take a look at the role that rising gas prices play in the food truck world and in Part 4 I'll share with you my food truck business idea. I'm convinced it's brilliant but I'm not the right person to start it for a variety of reasons (not least of which I've already got my hands full at the moment between my own small business, a new book, a blog, etc…) so if you think the idea will work in your market feel free to take it and run!

Christians must be lambs, not wolves, Pope tells Friday congregation
February 14, 2014
In his homily at a weekday Mass on February 14, Pope Francis reflected on the image of Christ as a Lamb, and said that a Christian too must be like a lamb, and "retain this identity" despite temptations.
Christ sends out his disciples as "lambs among wolves," the Pope said, and Christians are frequently tempted to counter the wolves with force. But he reminded his congregation at the Domus Sanctae Marthae that when David faced Goliath, he refused to wear Saul's armor, because "he wasn't himself." Without that protection—relying entirely on God—David won the day. The Pope suggested that "as long as you're a lamb the Lord will defend you, while if you're a wolf He won't defend you, He will leave you alone."
Pope Francis said that Christians should also be marked by their joy. A Christian, he said, is someone who "never stands still, who always walks, who walks as a lamb, and walks with joy."

Kansas University's annual Christmas Vespers program was being dropped for reasons of economy. The dean of the School of Fine Arts said that the program, which had begun in 1924 under the guidance of then-dean Donald Swarthout, usually cost about $2,000.
A young man identifying himself as Wayne D. Macura of Bridgeport, Conn., had been arrested by KU police for selling parking in a university parking lot at $1 per car. The lot, located at 1225 Oread, had been the site of the White House, which had been purchased by the KU Endowment Association. The White House had been a focal point of confrontation between police and young people during the summer and had been the site of several fires.

Michigan vs. Michigan State: 5 Halftime Adjustments Wolverines Must MakeOctober 15, 2011
The Michigan-Michigan State rivalry is being taken to the next level today as the No. 23 Spartans (4-1) play host to their intrastate foes, the No. 11 Wolverines (6-0).
With the Wolverines enjoying a renaissance under new head coach Brady Hoke, the Wolverines are the seventh-best rushing team in the nation, but they've also seen a huge improvement on the defensive side as well, allowing the eighth-fewest points of any team in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
And with the Wolverines looking ahead to November matchups with Illinois, Nebraska and Ohio State, earning a win at Spartan Stadium will be necessary to stay in the hunt for the Big 10 title.
After two quarters, here are five things Michigan must do to stay in the game against the super tough Spartans:
1. Continue to Grind It Out on the Ground
Yes, Denard Robinson was the seventh-leading rusher in the nation entering Saturday's game, but Michigan needs to move the ball with its tailbacks as well. Vincent Smith already broke an early big-gainer and Fitz Toussaint has looked solid as well. But the Wolverines need to minimize the hits that Robinson takes, and the success of the running backs will go a long way toward making sure that Robinson stays healthy and on the field.
2. Keep Denard Robinson Comfortable Throwing the Ball
With nine interceptions coming into this game, it's clear that Denard Robinson struggles when he has to throw the ball downfield into coverage on obvious passing downs.
The more the running game can set up 2nd-and-short and 3rd-and-short—whether it's Denard or one of his backs—the quicker and easier Denard's throws will have to be. Those short outs, screens and slants are where he's most dangerous throwing the ball.
3. Continue to Mix It Up with Devin Gardner
Gardner, the sophomore backup quarterback from Detroit, has seen action on every series, pushing Robinson out to a receiver position or on the sidelines altogether.
No, Gardner hasn't broken any big plays. But with the reverses, throwbacks and options at the disposal of the Wolverines offense with him in the game, it keeps the incredible State defense honest and, therefore, more susceptible to the Wolverines' running game and short passing game.
4. Put Pressure on Kirk Cousins
The Michigan State quarterback has yet to put up huge stats. But he's arguably the best throwing QB in the Big Ten and he's incredibly accurate when he has time to throw the ball.
To keep the Sparties' offense from blowing them off the field, then, the Michigan front seven must pressure Cousins to get rid of the ball quickly.
5. Win the Battle of the Lines
This is huge, obviously, on offense, as the Wolverines need to be able to move the ball on the ground to score points.
But it's also huge on defense, because with Cousins' accuracy, Michigan is going to need to stop the Spartans' running game and put pressure on Cousins if they have any hope of stopping the Sparty offense.

Fort Kochi, an obscure fishing village, was shaped into the first European township in India, thereby giving it an eventful history such that cultural influences can still be seen in the many examples of Indo-European architecture. A leisurely walk around the area is the best way to discover this quaint town—everything from beaches and palaces to historic churches and museums. Enjoy a performance of the popular dance forms Kathakali and Mohiniyattam, part of the Keralites' passion for art and culture.

PageSense: Micropayments for Google Library Publishers
by Sid Steward
Google Library could pipe print publishers' works into millions of homes; it's a natural marriage of new and old media. So why are publishers fighting Google's embrace? More importantly, how could they patch things up?
I think the main issue is money. Publishers want a piece of the action, but Google doesn't want to pay.
Google could coax publishers into Google Library by allowing readers to buy pages of content online. Just like the old library photocopier, but on your desktop. To that end, Google would need to fashion a PayPal-like service.
So, I search and Google gives me an excerpt. I pay, and I see the page scan. Google and the publisher split my money, and everybody is happy. I dubbed this idea PageSense.
Fair Use Isn't Enough -- We Want Content
If Google wins the fair use battle, it will have license to index anything. (* Crowds Cheer *) Problem is, what good is a search result if it points me to an out-of-print book hidden in some monestary? Sound unlikely? Google suggests that 60% of the Google Library would be inaccessible content. The solution is to let me pay a quarter to see the page scan Google made. This quarter gets split between Google and the publisher. I'm happy, Google's happy, and the publisher is happy.
Encourage Valuable Online Content
PageSense would also be helpful to web publishers. Today, web publishers can make a few bucks from ad revenue. So they publish content that maximizes this indirect reward -- even web spam.
By creating a system that directly rewards web publishers for good, relevant content, you could expect to see an increase in valuable content online. It wouldn't all be free. But you could see excerpts using Google and then pay for what you want. Win-win-win.

Surprising why direct win-win is not in use
Direct approach is very clean and should be satisfying to all players. It is surprising why it is not in vogue. At least, it can be tried with an experimental micropayment system.

Chapter Spotlight
Our April Spotlight Chapter:
WHO: Christopher Veal
WHY: past president ICF-OC
Some questions we asked Chrisopher to get to know him a bit better:
How long have you been involved with ICF-OC and why?
I first started coming to ICF-OC meetings back in 2011 or 2012. I had met a couple people who were coaches, and wanted to learn more about ICF and what coaching was. It was something that interested me greatly and I was curious how I could not only connect with other people who shared my value of helping others learn and grow, it also helped me understand options for developing and refining my own skills in coaching.
You were the president for the chapter in 2014. What was your driver and what was one of your highlights of that year.
My primary driver for serving as President in 2014 was the coaches and members of our chapter. The foundation for my term was built upon the creating community and connection; between our own members, with other organizations, and also with organizations and individuals in Orange County. I knew we had an amazing group of people in our chapter, and it was important to reinforce our connection as we supported one another. There were a number of things I'd consider highlights of that year, though I think I'm most proud of the programming we were able to bring together. There was a lot of diversity in the content, and we had some really engaging presenters help bring that content to life.
Define your role as the president of the chapter:
There are many functions you serve as Chapter President, though I believe the thing that helped me most in my tenure was to surround myself with an amazing Board of talented and creative individuals, and then I got the hell out of their way as they worked to help the chapter thrive and grow.
What's your advice to the current ICF-OC board 2016:
Have fun! Yes, there's work to be done, and tasks to attend to, yet I believe if you can continue to have fun and enjoy yourself, it make a profound difference on your experience as a Board member. There are a number of returning members, so that also helps as there's a greater comfort level as a group.
One other (bonus) tip I'll offer: You don't have to do it all. Sometimes less is more, and in particular remember to leverage our amazing members. You'll be surprised what they can create if you invite them to volunteer and participate.
Who inspires you most and why?
My mother. She always worked hard, never shied away from the challenges in life, looked for the opportunities instead of the problems, and most importantly she modeled how having a sense of humor can be a powerful resource. She transformed so many of the lives she touched, and in her own way was an amazing coach, though she may never have thought to claim that title.

Would the boy that you were be proud of the man you are? – Laurence J. Peter
Our November Chapter Spotlight:
WHO: Linda Denton
WHY: She was the amazing creative energy on ICF-OC board the first 6 months of 2015, being the Program Director.
Some questions we asked her just to get to know this amazing lady a bit better:
What was your main reason to join the ICF-OC Board in 2015?
"I joined the ICF-OC Board as the Program Chair because I wanted to be part of the vision that Maggie Stern presented. I loved being around her positive energy and complete optimism that has enabled her to put together a Board of engaged and commitment professionals. I also loved the idea of finding great speakers to help educate our current and future members."
What was the highlight as a board member of the ICF-OC?
"There are a lot of stories I could tell about this fun Board. One of my highlights on this Board was attending the ICF Atlanta Leadership Conference with Maggie in March. For those of you that don't know, Maggie loves to dance and I mean most of the night. It was truly motivating to spend three days with a large group of professional coaches from all over the world and listen to their stories, share challenges and insights, and look for opportunities to solve some of the issues of managing a non-profit organization.
While being part of this Board, I also learned the value of relaxation from Nathalie when she shared with us the calming effect of lying on her driveway at night and looking at the stars.
Ben amazed me with his ability to pull together an ICF meeting at a moment's notice and Candice keep us together with her quiet and steady presence – all these qualities and more made for a fabulous team to be part of."
What is the biggest lesson you've learned being an ICF-OC board member?
"The biggest lesson I have learned being on this Board; is that it isn't easy. This Board is formed for the benefit of the members and it is clear to me that there needs to be a partnership between the Board and members for the ICF-OC to truly be a successful Chapter."
How important is the ICF to you?
"As a member of ICF since 2007, I have a strong belief in what it means to be a credentialed coach. I appreciate that ICF sets standards and guidelines for professional coaches and these standards can demonstrate to potential clients that we have attained some level of mastery as a professional coach."
What's your advice to our ICF-OC members?
"My advice to people interested in the field of coaching is to find as many opportunities as you can to be a "learner", practice as often as possible, and enter all coaching relationships with an open and a curious mind."
Who has been your greatest teacher/influencer and why?
"During my 20 year journey in coaching, I have been influenced by the work of Marshal Goldsmith, Ken Wilber, Dr. Robert Kegan, Dr. Lisa Lahey, William Isaacs, James Flaherty, Art of Hosting, World Café, Ontological Coaching, Appreciative Inquiry, Emotional Intelligence, Integral Coaching, Enneagram, Otto Scharmer, Margaret Wheatley, Russ Hudson, Pam Weiss, and many more."
What do you love most about being a coach?
"I am the owner of A People Development Company and have been providing professional services as an executive and leadership development professional for about 9 years. My primary clients are leaders and/or leadership teams and I feel gratitude for all of the people, big and small, who have helped me continue to evolve in this profession."
What is your favorite quote?
"I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself." - Aldous Huxley
Our September Chapter Spotlight:
WHO: Cheryl Kitchner
WHY: She is the initiator, the brains, and the energy behind the partnership of ICF-OC with WHW. She ran her own pilot-program with the WHW before getting ICF-OC involved.
Some questions we asked her just to get to know this amazing lady a bit better:
Single handedly, you started a pilot and then helped ICF-OC launch a partnership with WHW. What was your drive in being a pioneer in working with WHW?
I'm moved by the courage the clients of WHW/Men2Work and their strength to move forward in their lives, to pull themselves up through the most difficult of times and circumstances, to see the possibility of having a new start in life, and the potential for a bright future for themselves and their families.
Through the Top Performer Coaching Program we bring support to the clients of WHW/Men2Work and make their lives easier by providing coaching services which helps them to become connected to themselves and provides clarity and focus on what's important to them. To help the Top Performers go from merely surviving to sustaining a productive life, and to live a life of fulfilment.
What is your current role as a coach - internal or external or both? What is your biggest achievement as a coach so far? In other words, what's your 'proudest' moment?
After reinventing myself last January, I was hired as Director of Professional Development at an international architectural firm - HKS, Architects.
I spent over 25 years working in interior architecture, I knew there was something pivotal waiting for me in my career. I have found my passion, and I didn't have to go far to fulfill that passion. Today rather than practicing architecture and design, I serve architects in their professional development; connecting people to their purpose and passion at HKS Architects.
I am impassioned about creating an engaged corporate culture, I am inspired by key firm-wide developmental goals, and my intention is to create a place where people can flourish.
With 25 years of corporate leadership roles, my background includes professional development in leadership, coaching, and mentoring. As a Certified Professional Coach, I focus on NeuroLeadership, an emerging field of study connecting neurological science with the fields of leadership development, management training, and change management.
My proudest moment would have to be when a client has made a shift, a transformation. When a client said to me "I can't unlearn what I've learned". When a front of the room leader asks a group in our firm "who has noticed a difference in office culture today, relative to one year ago?" and every hand in the room shoots up. I'm fortunate to work with an empowering CEO who gave me freedom to bring change and engagement to our company, my tribe.
What is your favorite quote?
I have two favorite quotes…
- I never dreamed about success. I worked for it. ~ Estee Lauder
- If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble. ~ Lilly Pulitzer
What's your favorite holiday destination and why?
A favorite vacation destination would include some type of adventure. Travel is adventurous, and I love traveling to foreign countries. I love exploring their culture, their food, and how they live. The most interesting part of traveling to Israel almost 10 years ago was in the old city in Jerusalem - that hasn't changed in 2,000 years. The sights, sounds, and the spices piled 5' high are as rich and colorful as the people who live there. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all working side by side, raising their families, and living their lives. Very different from how that is portrayed here in the states. I experienced many things on that adventure. Most significant was my experience of humanity, and how important human understanding is to me. And that has taught me to be present in the moment, and to appreciate the richness of life, to remain connection to myself so I can enjoy each experience.

Go to your desktop, find a blank space. Right click to open up a context menu. Near the bottom, there should be a "properties" tab. This will open up a display manager. Scroll through the tabs until you find one that has the resolution settings (probably the second from the left). There should be a small slider bar, just move that to the right or left to adjust your resolution. The computer may not allow you to increase the resolution above what the monitor can handle.

As I've mentioned before this blog has become a bit like therapy for me. Like Gidgit and Doogie Howser, I feel better when I put it into words. Thus...
Wednesday was a really bad day. It started bad, perked up a bit in the middle, and ending in an astonishingly awful way. But it proved it's point: even at her worst, Bear has an amazingly big heart and I love her.
Andrew's Aunt Linda was given bad news in August. Suspicious spots on her liver, possibly a new cancer, possibly a metastasis from her breast cancer years ago. We'd have to wait for the biopsy. Two weeks later the bad news got worse. The spots on her liver were indeed metastasis, but not from her history of breast cancer. She was diagnosed with primary pancreatic cancer that had already spread to her liver and possibly her bones. With chemo she had a few months. Then came the strokes that left her unable to eat or speak but awake and alert enough to be afraid. She lost her battle Wednesday morning.
Linda and her husband Denny were amongst the first of Andrew's relatives that I met and easily two of my favorites. They were warm and inviting from the very beginning - letting us stay with them every time we made the trek to the northwest corner of Pennsylvania. The first time we spent the weekend Andrew looked at me and said, "Can't you just see this family room full of our kids on Christmas morning?" I could. Their front porch was the perfect size for the padded wicker furniture it held. Even in winter the porch called out to you first thing in the morning, "Come, sit and sip hot chocolate." Staying with Denny and Linda wasn't just a convenience, it was part of the vacation. I will miss her more than I can possibly express.
Bear noticed my tears and asked if I missed Daddy, who happened to be on a business trip in Albany when his mom called with the bad news. Not waiting for my answer, she wrapped her little arms around my legs and squeezed, telling me that it was OK, Daddy would be home soon.
I pulled myself together and packed our bag for the day. A fully stocked diaper bag for Tadpole, lunch for Bear and I, Bear's appointment "ticket" for the dentist, and her swim bag. After another amazing trip to the dentist (awarded with a Hello Kitty skirt and top this time) and a very productive swim class we were back at home.
Tadpole was running low on Orajel and Bear was running high on energy so I suggested we take a walk to the convenience store down the road. I put Tadpole in the Baby Bjorn and a leash on Samantha, Bear put her teddy bear in her pink Build-A-Bear Baby Bjorn and we were all on our way. We were almost there when I heard a high pitched bark. Without any warning at all, a little Boston Terrier darted across the street yapping at Samantha. The next few seconds passed in freeze frame slow motion. A blue green car, a yelp, the spinning of tires, a loud crunch and the little doggy lying in a heap, practically at our feet. It was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen and if I live to be 100 I will never forget it. Bear, barely four years old, witnessed the whole thing.
She was sobbing as we tried to find the dogs owner. A 12-year old boy with a leash in his hands appeared from behind the house. He crossed the street and scooped up the dog. Then he brought him to his front step and dropped him. It was gut wrenching. I don't know if he dropped him in anger, or disgust, or if he thought he might land on his feet and run inside but I get a pit in my stomach thinking about it. I decided to get the Orajel later and took Bear to sit on a friends porch. I knew she was still at work but we needed a second and she lived nearby. Bear asked a million questions I wish I had answers to... Why? Why did that doggie run into the road? Why didn't that car stop? Why is that boy sad? Are they going to take him to the animal hospital and fix him? Did the doggie die?
I decided to be honest with her. The doggie ran into the street because he was excited and he forgot to look both ways and wait for his owner. The car just couldn't stop fast enough. And the boy is sad because his doggie died. I told her that they couldn't take him to the animal hospital. That even the hospital can't fix it when someone gets squished by a car. She cried off and on the entire way home, telling me that she was very upset and sad.
When we got home, she immediately got out her art supplies and asked for a piece of plain white paper. Then she asked me how to spell sorry. She made that little boy a card. Drew him pictures to make him feel better. Then she spelled her name and the two other words she knows - mom and dad. She told me she wanted to bring the card to the little boy to make him smile but first she wanted to go to the store and get him some flowers. Today after work, that is exactly what we did. She picked a small violet plant and had the sales lady wrap light and dark pink ribbon around the pot. Then she helped me deliver it. She may be four and stubborn and overwhelming at times, but my daughter has a heart bigger than Texas and I love her.

The Legislative branch is by far the most powerful branch of government. Almost every action by the other two branches can be overridden in the Senate and/or the House of Representatives. Like a veto from the president can be over turned by a three-thirds vote in Congress, or the president cannot declare war with out the Congress. The president can even be impeached and removed from office by the Congress. The Congress decides on how much tax we pay everyday, which wars we will be in. Any additional power given to the Executive branch of government is given by the Legislative branch. For example, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 gave the president to declare just about anyone an illegal enemy combatant. Congress voted this act on. Declaring war on Iraq was requested by the president, but the Congress decided to give George Bush the "green-light". Every law is put through Congress and without the Congress's consent the president is powerless. The President can call for a special meeting of congress to discuss certain matters, issues, and maybe have a bill passed. The Congress practically runs the country. The president is pretty much just the face of the country and influences congress, and signs pardons.

Technically speaking, no branch of the United States government holds more power over another. Thereupon, checks and balances would hold no purpose, which was designed to curb any branch from becoming more predominant over another branch. However, when it boils down to the decision, I believe the Legislative Branch takes the cake. This branch holds the power to create and amend the laws which we follow! Furthermore, the Legislature has power over taxes, and America's money/budget. Any decision made by the President has to go through this branch to get a final approval. Also, the Legislative Branch maintains military, declares war, and regulates interstate/foriegn commerce. Above all, the Legislative Branch has the power to dismiss dwellers from the two other branches, basically giving the branch the power to king a pawn or knight... With this is mind, the Executive Branch would probably be my runner up. This branch is responsible for enforcing the laws, and doing work on America on a daily basis. Lastly, the Judicial Branch doesn't come into action, unless the action is brought to them. In consumption, the Legislative Branch bakes,serves ,and eats the cake- unless George W. gets his hands on it...

The legislative branch definately has the most power. Though the executive branch is the one most people believe has the most power, because we pick the president and he/she promises things to the nation that the executive branch cannot do without the help of the legislative branch. The legislative branch is defined as, "The legislative branch of the federal government consists of the Congress, which is divided into two chambers -- the Senate and the House of Representatives" by thewhitehouse.gov. The legislative branch has the power to create, amend and ratify laws. The executive branch can only veto a law or create a law and pass it down to congress to be checked on, thanks to checks and balances that keeps the branches from getting too much power. The judicial branch can only hear cases that question the interpretation of the law.

Out of the three branches of Government, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, the Legislative Branch of government is the most powerful. In the Legislative Branch of the Government, they are able to pass laws and send them to the president as well as impeach the president. They deal with the money as well, keeping track of the flow of money and collecting money for the government to have. Along with money, the Legislative Branch of the Government ratifies treaties. If they believe a treaty could be harmful to the society they can choose to veto the law. The other Branches of Government have some power as well however not as powerful as the Legislative. The executive Branch could implement laws but without the Legislative Branch approving it, their efforts are futile. The Judicial Branch could override views by the executive branch however not so much over the Legislative Branch. Recently the Legislative Branch of the Government passed the law that cellular phones are not allowed in cars while the cars are in motion. If the Branch did not believe that the law was good enough to be passed, or harmful to the public, they would not have let the law be ratified.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the United States is about 305,109,617 citizens, which reside on 3,615,123 square miles of the United States of America's territory. Meaning every seven seconds a new life is born, ever thirteen seconds a life is taken and every twenty nine seconds an immigrant is promised a new life in the United States. Each one of those 305,109,617 inhabitants depend on the federal government of the United States to protect, maintain order, resources and defend our nation. The federal government is broken into three equal branches, the Executive, Legislative and the Judiciary Branch. Consistent with Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids, "Article I of the (United States) Constitution defines the Legislative Branch and vests power to legislate in the Congress of the United States. The executive powers of the President are defined in Article 2. Article 3 places judicial power in the hands of one Supreme Court and inferior courts as Congress sees necessary to establish." The system of checks and balances is designed to prevent too much power in one branch.
The Executive Branch is made up of the President, Vice President, the Executive Office of the President and independent agencies which include but are not limited to the Office of Management and Budget, the National Security Council and the Council of Economic Advisers. Under the Constitution the law making or Legislative Branch of government is broken into bicameral Congress,' the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives favor states with larger populations, on the meantime states with smaller population would make up the Senate. The Senate is only made up of 100 delegates, two from each state. Although both houses form the United States Congress, which passes laws, controls the amount of circulation and collecting and confirms judicial appointments, both houses maintain different jobs. While deciding if a member of the federal government should be put on trial before the Senate would be the House of Representatives priority, the Senate, holds a trial for a member of the federal government. The highest court, the Supreme Court of the United States' objective is to declare executive actions unconstitutional, interpret laws and treaties and declare laws passed by Congress unconstitutional.
When asked, which branch of the United States government is the most powerful, I would have to agree with Kimberly Gangemi, "Technically speaking, no branch of the United States government holds more power over another. Thereupon, checks and balances would hold no purpose, which was designed to curb any branch from becoming more predominant over another branch." The people that make up the legislative are chosen by the people though voting, no allotted. The Judicial Branch holds the power to make our laws and declares executive actions. Some cases in which were heard by the Supreme Court were the Marbury vs. Madison, Brown vs. Board of Education and Plessy vs. Ferguson cases, just to name a few. The Executive Branch is like the big homie, the big enchilada, the big deal. They are responsible for enforcing the laws of the nation. As Christopher Morawed stated, "In the Legislative Branch of the Government, they are able to pass laws and send them to the president as well as impeach the president. They deal with the money as well, keeping track of the flow of money and collecting money for the government to have." If there was no system of checks and balances, our nation would turn into the fall of the Roman Empire. Because Caesars government had no equalized power, Caesars friends became power hungry, killed Caesar and Rome fell.

The most important of the Checks and Balances and the Separation of Powers of the U.S Government is the executive branch. The executive branch embraces the power to nominate federal judges, grant pardons, reprieve for federal offenses, implement laws, veto laws passed by Congress, call special sessions of Congress, suggest legislation and send messages to Congress. The judges of the branch decide whether laws will be passed or vetoed. This is important because neither of the other two branches have the power to nominate judges. Each judge's opinion matters because it will ultimately make an important decision. To the judges who have been accused of wrong doings, the executive branch has the power to pardon them or even reprieve them of their federal offense. While the legislative branch makes laws and the judicial branch interprets them, the executive branch enforces them. Laws can be made and interpreted and even passed, it is the executive branch's role to put them into effect, which is the government's ultimate goal. In the same way, the executive branch can veto a law and it will not be put into effect. Amongst the executive branch, special sessions of Congress can be called. These special sessions may concern issues like war, impeachment and assassination. For example, in 2005, the executive branch called for a special session in regard to Hurricane Katrina. Another job of the executive branch is to suggest legislation. This means that the executive branch can suggest laws in addition to enforcing them. Lastly, the executive branch is able to send messages to Congress.

Out of all the tree branches, I believe that the executive branch is the most powerful branch. The executive branch comes with Executive privileges. One executive privilege that the president has is that he can grant pardons or reprieves for federal offenses. For example, after Nixon's impeachment, Gerald ford pardoned him. The president is the one who implements laws with the approval of congress. However, if the president is dissatisfied with the laws created by congress, he has the power to veto laws. It is extremely rare that a president's veto is over ruled. When a president veto's a bill, it will most likely never become a law. The president also serves as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He can authorize the use of troops without declaring war. Although the president cannot declare war without congress's approval, the president has the power to suggest his beliefs to congress. For example, in 1941, FDR suggested his belief that the U.S. should declare war on Japan. On April 16, 1941, the U.S. and Japan were at war. The executive branch is the most powerful because the president plays a large role in making the U.S.'s laws. Although Congress creates laws, it is the president's job to approve the laws. If the president doesn't like the laws, he could always veto them. Even if Congress wants to override a veto, two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and Senate must vote against the president. That's extremely rare. The Executive Branch is the most powerful branch because this branch established the terms a president can serve. Before 1951 the president could serve far as many terms as he wanted. After two terms as president, chose not to run again. All the other presidents follow his example except for FDR. The Executive Brach modeled the foundation of government in the U.S. The president is the highest military officer of the U.S. armed forces. He is the Guardian of Economy when unemployment, deficit, budget, and inflation are part of his concern.

The Legislative Branch is obviously the most powerful. The framers of the Constitution designed it that way because it is the branch that represents the people.
