That's pronounced "Hebb-Ah" in case you didn't know 😉 It's Arabic for the word meaning "gifted" and more precisely: gifted from God. How suitable because I think I do have special gifts and I want to share them with you! One of them is my precious essential oils which I use for just about anything to support my health and emotional well-being, and I truly believe that they've been gifted to us from God.
I am DELIGHTED that you found yourself here!
I'm the proactive mum of a bright little girl who keeps me on my toes and the wife of a loving husband who taught me how to relax (read: he's still trying). I'm also a savvy & switched on entrepreneur (aka online tech geek), ebook & online programs/courses junkie, essential oils aficionado and a lover of all things to do with emotional intelligence, proactive parenting, health & wellness, food, alternative education and spirituality.
Pretty cool mix of interests, huh? It's just what makes me, well… me 🙂
But enough about me because you'll get to know me heaps through my blog posts. Let's instead focus on YOU.
I want to help you better live your truth & embrace yourself unconditionally. I have tools that can help you become more self-aware and attuned to your emotions.
I launched this blog in mid-2016 after gaining some traction on social media because I needed an online home-base and platform to speak to my audience about the compelling message I have to share on how I became more self-aware of my emotions. My journey has been plentiful and I pride myself on a rapidly growing, vibrant and engaged community of people who are also looking to discover, live and share their compelling messages (truths) and influence their family life, their work life and the lives of those around them.
I help motivated but overwhelmed individuals become self-aware and understand their emotions which will help them uncover their own compelling message, live their truth, embrace themselves so that they can heal emotionally, live a purposeful, more fulfilling life and have a meaningful influence on others.
Here are some of the topics I write about:

Understanding and mastering your emotions is very important. I am very passionate and deliberate about getting my emotions to serve me rather than dictate how my day will run. Becoming aware of and understanding my emotions has been the biggest lesson I've ever learned in life and I want to teach others how get what they want from life by recognising and responding to their emotions in an appropriate way. Because let's face it: it's DUE TO our lack of understanding our emotions that we become stuck, that we are slaves to the irks and quirks of our own emotional outbursts, that we get out of control or even become control addicts. Our emotions are a VERY significant part of our lives and we know little about them!
I'm here to help you get closer to your emotions. I haven't done it solely via essential oils. I've worked on myself relentlessly in the last 5 years from the inside out. I hit a few brick walls and came to some pretty challenging realisations that only I can help myself to become more fulfilled and at peace from within. There are days I just sat on my couch feeling sorry for myself and wondering why my emotions are playing up so much. The journey will never be over. We never "arrive" anywhere. It's an eternal journey the journey of enriching the soul.
We must constantly learn and grow. I am constantly seeking to learn new things and apply them to my life. From how to be a better parent, to how to use my social media voice to influence others, to how to tap into my emotions and become aware of my deep-seated thoughts and feelings so that I can tell my conditioned mind to shut the hell up and let me proceed with my awesome higher self that loves me unconditionally. Blogging will allow me to interact with you at a more personal level and before even that, blogging will help me find you! There are many people who place a high value and priority on understanding and knowing themselves better so that they can continue to show up as their best versions.
Our duty is to share and teach what we learn. My blog is an outlet for sharing my personal lessons and connecting with all who share similar values and want to join me in this revolution of up-leveling oneself and constantly striving for better without quitting. As this happens, you grow, I grow, and our families, businesses and communities derive the benefits and THAT is when you know you're living purposeful, meaningful life full of contribution and giving back.
I've been happily married to my dear husband, Hazem, since September 2010. Our story is quite the romantic story involving a rebooting of my life after I moved across the globe from Montreal, Canada to Melbourne, Australia. Shortly after the move, I fell pregnant and my life suddenly became a whirlwind of nappies, spilled milk, learning how to navigate motherhood while trying to fit into a new similar-but-very-different society.
I thought nothing of these big life changes occurring simultaneously but at some point, I completely let go of self-care, suppressed all or most of my emotions and my relationship with my husband became a bit strained. I also felt like a complete failure of a mum, very self-conscious of how others perceived me as a mum. I was driving myself a bit cuckoo trying to read every book I can about how to feed, how to gently put to sleep, how to parent effectively all while trying to figure out how to start my own business. Crazy right?
In March 2013, I was introduced to essential oils which literally changed the way I do everything around the house. I was quite skeptical at first but when I saw them working for everything under the sun including strengthening our digestive system, helping us breathe better, cleaning our home naturally and improving our skin, I was more than convinced we needed those little bottles of miracles in every crook and cranny in our home. I didn't yet fully understand their potential for emotional healing though. When I discovered and learned more about that, it was a game-changer.
So I hit the road on an essential oils pilgrimage and haven't looked back since. They are part of my holistic lifestyle and I love it. My daughter is also empowered in taking care of herself and has her own Owie Blend, Sleepy Time Blend and recently we made up a blend for when she's feeling less cheerful and we dubbed it "Smiles & Tickles Blend" 🙂
For a good 3 years, I spent time with a psycho-dynamic therapist every week talking about myself and my issues. This was way before I understood that I had any emotional blocks, I just thought something was seriously wrong with me like clinical depression or chronic stress. But I had none of that. I was simply stuck in a crazy rut that can easily be handled had I been aware and understood how to just SIT with and FEEL my emotions. I got the awareness nearly a year into therapy and it was the awareness that finally woke me up. It was so darn powerful when I discovered the relentless grip the past had on my emotions of today.
I'm not a counselor or therapist nor am I even a coach but I know I'm an intuitive and I have a lot to share about what I learned on this journey. I studied how my "lifetraps" and "schemas" have sabotaged me throughout the years into my adult life.
I've developed a unique set of tools using the essential oils, to work through my emotions, process them and heal at different stages. It's very simple and doesn't require any formal training or certification. I love simplicity and that's the motto I stick to when I am trying to work on myself. It helps that I have a science background as well so I understand our body's immune system and how our emotions get affected when our systems are weakened. I have tools for those too.
So there you have it. And now the ball is in your court. Are you ready to get out of your rut and make a significant change? If you're feeling the pull of becoming more emotionally in tune with yourself, you're in the right place.

Dorsetshire by John Speede c.1610
The history of the Dorset coastline detailed on this old map has many splendid bays, coves and a rich maritime history. The French burnt Lyme Regis in 1525 and in 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed up the channel, where some of its straggling ships were engaged by the British fleet off Portland.
Speede considered the air of Dorset as good and of a healthful constitution and was also impressed by the fertility of the entire county.

Based on the upcoming book by James Patterson, Instinct follows Dylan (Cumming), a former CIA operative who has since built a "normal" life as a gifted professor and writer, but is eventually pulled back into his old life when the NYPD needs his help to stop a serial killer on the loose. Alexander is set to play Lizzi's (Novakovic) police superior. The pilot is written by Michael Rauch and directed by Marc Webb. A seven-season alum of CSI: Miami, Alexander has co-starred on HBO's Treme and recurred as Olivia Pope's untrustworthy mother Maya on ABC's Scandal, the latter of which earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination. She also recently co-starred opposite Mark Wahlberg in Patriot's Day for Lionsgate. She also received a Critics' Choice Television Award nomination for playing Bessie Smith's sister in the HBO film Bessie. She has a number of TV guest appearances under her belt such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, NYPD Blue, Third Watch, Cosby, Better Off Ted, La Femme Nikita, and Body of Proof. Other credits include CB4, Joshua Tree, What's Love Got to Do with It, Poetic Justice, and Sugar Hill. As accomplished as Alexander is, this is definitely a good choice on CBS' part and we look forward to her portrayal and what is shaping up to be an intriguingly dramatic show! Comments comments

It was a tale of two halves in the Ontario Arrows' defeat to Rugby United New York in New Rochelle, NY, on Mar. 17, 2018. Despite a strong second-half performance from the visiting Arrows, the young Ontarian side wasn't able to overcome a 26-point halftime deficit, dropping the match 36-19 at Iona College's Mazzela Field.
RUNY prop Anthony Parry opened the scoring for the host side just five minutes into the match, the first of four first-half tries for New York. The second half began much like the opening frame, with No. 8 Ross Deacon powering over three minutes after the restart.
Showing strong resolve, the Arrows responded with three consecutive tries in a 17-minute spell of play, with lock Josh Van Horne, centre Shawn Windsor, and substitute No. 8 Andrew Wilson all crossing over to bring the match to a two-score game with 10 minutes to play.
Despite a strong push from the visiting Arrows, New York did well to quell Ontario's comeback efforts, with a late Jack Fitzpatrick penalty goal sealing the victory for the hosts.
Take the jump to read more.
"There are many lessons to take from our first meeting with Rugby United New York," said Arrows head coach Chris Silverthorn, following the match. "The start wasn't what we wanted, but we showed a lot of character to dig deep and make a game of it. We had a lot of young players in our squad, and they'll take a lot from this match, and they'll learn from these experiences. We'll have plenty to work on before heading to Utah in a few weeks."
The Arrows will resume their six-match spring season on Apr. 6, when Ontario travels to Sandy, UT, for a Friday night fixture against Major League Rugby side Utah Warriors.

First off, long time no see, folks. I was given a copy of FFT: WotL for Christmas this time around, so Ive been enjoying that and all it comes with for a few weeks now. Its been a fun ride reencountering all the joys I had playing the original, and now Im just sort of grinding for job points and poaching monsters.
Obviously, thats not what this thread is about, however. Its about the Level Up/Level Down trick. Specifically, its about Agrias and the mathematics of figuring out how to know what to level her down and then up as. I know I could just level her down as a Dancer and level her back up as a Mime and shed be more of a physical powerhouse than Orlandu is, but I did that sort of (what Im going to call) excessive tactic nearly 20 years ago and it sucks the fun out of the game.
I want to make her a little bit better all aroundon par with the other special charactersstronger, faster, a little more HP, a bit more MA, without sacrificing too much MP.
The problem is that Im math-dumba product of not having taken a math class or done any math more complicated than tipping in nearly 20 years. Can someone explain to me how to do the maths to figure out what will happen (or approximate what will happen) if I take various approaches to leveling a character down as one (or more) jobs and up as others?
To give an example, if I de-level Agrias from 99 to 1 as a Dancer, then unless she spends time as a Mime going back up, shes going to lose some MA (and shes going to lose a crap-ton of MP in spite of the Dancers poor MP growth). I figure shes got to spend time as a Mime to get HP, PA, and MA; a Ninja to get Spd and PA and to make sure the HP doesnt get too crazy high; a Summoner to recoup the MP shes going to lose through de-leveling and from the Mimes absolute garbage MP growth.
Can someone help me figure out (approximately) what her stats would look like with different ratios of level-ups in those job classes? Like, whats the minimum number of levels shed need in Mime to offset the loss in MA from de-leveling? And from there, whats the minimum number of levels shed need in Summoner to offset the Mimes garbage MP growth? And does it matter if she levels up Mime, then Summoner, then Ninja? Or would it be better to switch the order around to some other permutation of those jobs?

Found a resource that is relevant to your question:
Without crunching numbers myself, I'm leaning more towards starting with up Ninja/down Dancer first since that will result in a net gain for everything but MA. Mime next because it's required for MA growth. Down Dancer/up Summoner is best for MP though you will lose PA. HP and PA are easier stats to boost so it's something to take into account. Maybe could get away with one cycle of Summoner for every two of Ninja and Mime but that's just my estimate. Because the biggest gains are at low levels, best to do this at the lowest levels you can stand.

One of the things I have loved in over twenty years of teaching is teaching poetry from other cultures because English students can fall into that tricky little trap of reading a poem from a writer from another culture and not understanding what is being shared at all. You see, they, like everyone, read any poem based on their background and experience.
Let us say for example, that a typically English student, living in the heart of the English countryside, reads this poem. He or she may not have any understanding of what it is like to live in the Caribbean, unless they see the news recently and all the mention of hurricanes and destruction. What they fail to see or understand is the harshness of normal life for some on islands in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific. How can they understand what it is like to live there or to scavenge for work there when there isn't any work at all and then try to understand the poem in front of them?
It is the teacher's role to cross the boundaries of social and historical background when teaching these poems, just as much as it is for them teaching an Armitage poem and teaching their students about life as Simon Armitage sees it based on his life experience. If they are not doing that, then they are failing their students, in my humble, ageing opinion.
So, when we get to this Grace Nichols poem from her block of writing, we see someone writing about the islands she has lived on in the past. Married to John Agard will no doubt be a fun experience, but their shared love of English and of poetry allows them to write honestly, sometimes harshly and always beautifully.
Let me ask you a question. How much would you pay for the sun?
What does that mean? Can it have more than one meaning? I think this title has more than one meaning in it. After all, when she starts writing, she is doing so using Free Verse, using zero punctuation, making the reader pause at the end of each line, where punctuation should be. Because there is none there, you are supposed to pause. Thus, "These islands" becomes a statement in a way. "These islands" are home; beautiful in every way. But then she goes on to say they are not "picture postcards" that someone has created. No picture can fully bring about the fuller meaning of life on "these islands" and the reader should realise this is what she means from the beginning. She says "these islands real," missing a word out of what we would call Standard English, using a 'Creole' of the English language to communicate. [If you are not sure on Creole, Google it and check please].
There is a reality for her in these islands because they are "more real than flesh and blood." Now, we see the word "past" and we have to ask, because of the Creole style, whether or not she is saying the word in place of the word "except." In other words, she is saying, "more real than flesh and blood except "these islands split bone." Suddenly, there is a sense of harshness about life on these islands, as idyllic as they are. For mere British men and women, this would be a holiday destination, but to the islanders themselves, life here is nasty, brutish and for some, short. The phrase "split bone" is an interesting one, which makes the reader see that life is so tough that one has to be extra strong to survive there. But she is not being critical. She loves those islands. She loves what they stand for and what the culture is that exists there. To her, she is saying that there is no better place; there is no place like home.
In verse two, we see the poet extend those thoughts into a figure that is so central to her life, her mother. We sense closeness as we read how her "mother's breasts like sleeping volcanoes" would be a source of rest for her when she was a youngster. By this, she is referring to those times when as a youngster, we go to mother for comfort and solace. We are in trouble, or in pain and we go to our mother for rest and peace, usually involving a huge cuddle, if we have that kind of relationship. There is then a reference to how those breasts know about the "Cancer tricking her below" and how the effect of such pain changes her mother and her mother's outlook on life. The element of trickery is interesting too, for any kind of debilitating illness exists to wear you down until you are unable to fight any more. So, this is the poet looking back on the life [and demise] of her mother and thinking of her again. Read some of her other poems where she mentions mother and you will see her love for her shining from the poem.
But then she mentions her father and how his "tears" have been constantly whipped and turned into "salty hurricanes" showing us an element of real life on these islands. It reminds me of the poem Island Man in a way, but although the man in that poem is in London and dreaming of the Caribbean, this lady is reminiscing on the islands she lives or has lived on and is stating that these places are entrenched in her psyche. Words like "tears" and "salty hurricanes" evoke a certain image in the mind, one of pain and turmoil. This is a poor lifestyle, for certain, but it is a happy one too, for this woman inserts a glorious image at the end, as if to make her final point. She mentions "water mirroring palm" which makes me think of palm trees and the shadows they make on the sand, how the sea can make shapes that can mirror almost anything and how, after all this time away, she can see the true beauty of the place once again. It also makes one think of how nature mirrors our existence at times.
The last three lines are spectacular in their description because then we see the real meaning in her poem. This is almost polemic in its stance, for she is saying, to anyone who will read and listen, that "poverty is the price we pay for the sun." We have sun here more or less all the time, she is saying, but the price we pay is that we remain poor. The ones with the money are outsiders. Now, the last two words, for me, can lead to confusion. At first, I was unsure how to take them. The words "run come" are oxymoronic yes, but what do they mean? The answer is that the reader is meant to consider that because of the way nature is portrayed as being brutal and that the islanders are seen as part of the land, the best thing to do is run away. There is a "run coming" may be a better way to understand the ending because she, along with her husband, did just that and emigrated from Guyana in the West Indies to a life away from their home. It is the story of so many West Indian people, who left for work and never came back. They sit in their relative luxury of home in which ever country they reside in now and look back to the motherland, their home, their sunshine paradise.
In this sense, this is a poem looking at the way nature is merged with humanity, how the islands are much more than mere images on a postcard or even, in the mind of those who are from there but have not seen home for some time. Because of that, this sits within what used to be called the 'Poetry from Other Cultures' section of anthologies, waiting to be read so that people from all over the world can see the reality of life for Caribbean islanders.

text: TV Rosie Perez Sues 'Law & Order' After Being Injured On Set 7:11 AM PDT 5/19/2011 by Laura Reineke FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Neilson Barnard/Getty Images The actress is seeking unspecified damages after a neck injury sustained during a 2009 guest stint on the show. After sustaining injuries to her neck during a Law & Order: SVU shoot, actress Rosie Perez is seeking unspecified damages in a lawsuit brought against the production companies behind the show, according to the New York Post. Perez guest-starred as the mother of an abused child on an episode of the procedural shot in September 2009. During a staged fight with another actress, Perez was "hauled off" the woman by another actor playing a passer-by - a move that Perez claims caused her neck to become herniated. The actress underwent a discectomy to repair the damage. In the suit, Northern Entertainment Productions and DDF Films are accused of "recklessly and carelessly failing to provide skilled performers or experienced stunt personnel". Perez's lawyer, Brian O' Dwyer, maintains that the injury causes Perez continued pain and has inhibited her ability to work. "This is a case of a woman being severely injured because someone wasn't taking care of the people who work for them," O'Dwyer told the Post. "We're going to make them pay."

John Julius Norwich's three-volume History of Byzantium, its one-volume epitome, and Brownworth's epitome of the epitome. The books are based on a completely un-critical reading the sources and in many cases do little more than echo Gibbon. Despite being published 1989-1995, Norwich did not take account of any research produced in the field in the last century. The result is a travesty filled with half-truths, outright lies, uncritical acceptance of the sources, but he is certainly a lively writer.

It wasn't the most elegant way of getting close to Mexican nature, but boy, was it relaxing. With my legs through the arm holes of a lifejacket, making it into passable imitation of an armchair, I was being propelled by a gentle current down a canal that had been dug by the Mayans a millennium earlier.
The water was the temperature of a pleasant bath and clear enough to see shoals of small fish. On either side, mangrove trees - robot-like with their arching tubular roots - were decorated with brightly-coloured and very vocal birds.
Zopilotes, a kind of vulture, cruised overhead, but the crocodiles (the only local beasts worth worrying about) were a good few kilometres away, on the coast. And, in any case, when the 45 minutes of floating was over, there was a motorboat waiting to speed me and other members of my tour group back across two turquoise, freshwater lakes to terra firma.
We were in the middle of a huge protected area: the Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka'an, just below Mexico's Riviera Maya on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.
A mere 200km to the north is the mega resort of Cancun, which is as close as you can get to Las Vegas-on-Sea in this part of the world. The journey from there to the almost shocking contrast of this wilderness entails a drive down the coastal road (the N307), passing hotel developments, the mushrooming resort of Playa del Carmen and a clutch of Disney-like water parks.
Finally, beyond the low-key town of Tulum, with its spectacular cliff-top Mayan ruins, you reach Sian Ka'an.
In the language of the original Mayan people, this means: "Where the sky is born" or, even more appropriately: "Where Heaven begins".
The reserve, 120km long and 50km wide, is a Noah's Ark of southern Mexico's flora and fauna, for which it has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its mix of tropical savannah grasslands, tropical forest and lagoons shelters the region's five big cats - jaguar, puma, ocelot, margay and jaguarondi - as well as howler and spider monkeys, four kinds of turtle, crocodiles and manatees. Not that we had got up early enough to see most of those.
I'm afraid the only four-legged animal we'd spotted was a scrawny black cat, which nevertheless was eagerly snapped by most members of our expedition. We'd been luckier with birds: Eduardo our guide, a biologist with a particular interest in migratory animals, had pointed out egrets, an ibis, yellow king birds and a very noisy brown jay. But this is just scratching the surface of the bird-life in Sian Ka'an: around 350 species have been spotted here, including the gorgeous, rainbow-hued mot-mot and the massive but very rare, jabiru stork.
The tour had started at Muyil, a right turn off the N307, 15km south of Tulum. This is one of the five entry points to the park and the one that is generally least used. The forest is higher than in most of the Yucatan, where scrubby bush is the norm, but even here the soil is very shallow, supporting a relatively small number of varieties, such as palms, fig and acacia.
We passed a Zapote or Sapodilla tree, the resin of which was once used to manufacture chewing-gum (the trunk still bore the scars left by resin-collectors). Another tree, the chechen or black poisonwood, was recognisable from its shiny, curvaceous leaves, but should never, however, be touched. Its sap causes an irritating skin rash.
The greatest threat to visitors, according to Eduardo, is posed not by poisonous trees, nor by one of the four species of venomous snake that are found in the reserve, but by falling trees and branches.
A huge crash from the forest nearby, as a tree gave up the struggle to stay upright, underlined his point. Like much of the Yucatan, the forest was at one point inhabited by large numbers of Mayans and Muyil has a number of reminders of their once all-powerful civilisation, including a stretch of one of the raised, paved roads or sacbes which, a thousand years ago, linked the major Mayan settlements.
The tallest and most striking building is the 20m-high castle, El Castillo, although the so-called "Pink Palace" is interesting for its vestiges of the coloured stucco that originally covered all the Mayan buildings.
The descendants of these people, whose civilisation had already collapsed before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores in the 16th century, still eke out an existence in the vicinity of the ruins. About 600 Maya are reckoned to live within the boundaries of the reserve. The regional government encourages them to supplement subsistence farming and fishing by engaging in the tourist economy, just as the vast majority of their compatriots on the Riviera Maya do.
The motorboats that whizzed us across the lagoons, for instance, were owned by a co-operative from the local village of Chunyaxche and a recent project to teach some of the younger men English by bringing in several blonde, female English teachers had achieved, perhaps unsurprisingly, a good degree of success.
In the next two years, expect plenty more attention on this part of the world. Not so much because British Airways is stepping up its flights from Gatwick, more that the end of the world is nigh - at least according to an unholy alliance of New Agers and Hollywood producers.
The film 2012 is based on the premise that the Mayan calendar predicts a cataclysm taking place two years from now, on 21 December.
In fact, this merely marks the start of a new round in one of the remarkably sophisticated calendars that have endured for centuries.
So, if you plan a trip starting two years today, go ahead - the massive hotels of Cancun will still be standing, along with El Castillo.

Are you a middle-aged, Honda-driving woman? Then you just may be one of the best drivers in the UK.
The Admiral LittleBox team has taken a look at the data from our clever black box technology to find out who make up the best and worst drivers in the country.
Using LittleBox data, we've profiled the devils and angels on UK roads, right down to the age and colour of the car and even by fuel type.
Female software engineers aged 46-50 are the most likely to be road-savvy when compared to other groups in the country.
And that's not all, women were found to be better drivers overall, with a score of 58 out of 100 compared to men with 53. However, men cover more miles which increases the likelihood of an accident occurring.
Regionally, East Anglians are statistically the best drivers with a score of 59 out of 100, while at city level; Liverpudlians are among the best drivers in the country with a score of 61.
Our black box data looks at people's driving over a number of months and takes into account driving habits such as excessive braking and speeding. Each aspect is scored out of 100, with the higher score being better.
When it comes to the worst drivers in the land, our data shows a profile of a white Audi-driving man in his early 20s. He more than likely works as a project manager and has no children.
Regionally, Scotland (51 out of 100) and the West Midlands (52) were the worst scorers, while at a city level Birmingham and Leeds had the lowest driving ability with a score of 50.
Lloyd Badran from Admiral's LittleBox team said: "Our black box insurance provides lots of fascinating data showing driving trends across the country. While it's interesting to create these in-depth profiles of good and bad drivers, which we can do with great precision, there's also a very useful side to this.
"Black box data allows us to provide fairer prices to customers that reflect their driving ability rather than being based on the risk profiles of similar types of people. We believe safe drivers should be rewarded for their efforts."

Our relationship with success is complicated. We want to be successful, but in many ways we sabotage our efforts because we get caught up in our own self-doubt and negativity.
Rarely are we patting ourselves on the back and congratulating ourselves for a job well done. In fact, even if others complement our work, we often deflect the praise and have difficulty acknowledging it. We often find it challenging to recognize our own successes.
This focus on our weaknesses and failures is a common cognitive distortion. Cognitive distortions, first proposed by Aaron Beck, are ways that our mind convinces us of something that is not really true. These inaccurate thoughts are usually used to reinforce negative thinking or emotions — telling ourselves things that sound rational and accurate, but really only serve to keep us feeling bad about ourselves.
One such cognitive distortion is a negative mental filter. With this filter, we focus exclusively and magnify negative aspects of something while filtering out all the positive aspects of a situation. This, in turn, feeds our self-doubt which can sabotage our careers. If we never measure up in our own eyes, how can we confidently promote ourselves in the workplace for our career advancement? Our self-doubt will hold us back from doing the types of things that will help us create credibility for ourselves such as voicing our opinion, speaking up in meetings, and taking on new roles and responsibilities to showcase our skills and talent.
By learning to correctly identify this kind of negative self-talk and thinking, it is possible to then refute the negative thinking. By refuting the negative thinking over and over again, it will slowly diminish overtime and will be automatically replaced by more balanced and, in this case, positive thinking.
If you find your own self-doubt and negative talk are sabotaging your career and your personal relationships, I recommend keeping a success journal. Every day, make a commitment to write at least one entry about something that you are proud to have accomplished that day. It can be anything, but you must commit to recording one thing in the journal at the end of the day. Perhaps you closed a big contract at work or perhaps you managed to get the kids to soccer practice, help them with their homework, and get dinner on the table. The point is to find at least one thing each day that you recognize as an accomplishment, big and small.
Next, at the end of the week, review your entries and write down what this all says about you. Write some positive affirmations about yourself based on these reflections that you keep visible in your workspace to help you stay on track. The repetition of this exercise over time will eventually shift your default of negative thinking to one of increased self-confidence and positivity.
The success journal is an important component of the work I do with professional women around self-promotion and the benefits have been enormous. It has helped my clients have the confidence to step out of their comfort zone to promote and position themselves in the workplace for their career advancement. It has also helped them prepare for performance reviews and job interviews.
Make a commitment to do this for a few months and let me know your experience!

Also called Charcot joint or neuropathic joint, Charcot arthropathy is a progressive condition of the musculoskeletal system that is characterized by joint dislocations, pathologic fractures, and debilitating deformities. Syphilis was believed to be the most common cause of Charcot arthropathy until 1936, when Jordan linked it to diabetes. [1, 2] Diabetes is now considered to be the most common etiology of Charcot arthropathy.
Charcot arthropathy results in progressive destruction of bone and soft tissues at weightbearing joints; in its most severe form, it may cause significant disruption of the bony architecture. Charcot arthropathy can occur at any joint; however, it occurs most commonly in the lower extremity, at the foot and ankle.
For patient education resources, see the Diabetes Center, Sexually Transmitted Diseases Center, and Foot, Ankle, Knee, and Hip Center, as well as Diabetic Foot Care and Syphilis.
Numerous classification systems based on clinical, radiographic, and anatomic pathology describe Charcot arthropathy. Anatomic classification systems are the most commonly used and have the added benefit of predicting outcome and prognosis. The most commonly used anatomic system is described by Saunders and Mrdjencovich. [3] Based on the location of the arthropathy, their system classifies Charcot arthropathy into the following five patterns:
Pattern 1 involves the forefoot, which includes the interphalangeal (IP) joints, the phalanges, and the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint
Pattern 2 involves the tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint
Pattern 3 involves the cuneonavicular, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid articulations
Pattern 4 involves the talocrural, or ankle, joint, which is the articulation of the tibia, the fibula, and the talus
Pattern 5 involves the posterior calcaneus
Studies have shown that patterns 2 and 3 are the most common, with approximately 45% of cases involving pattern 2 and 35% involving pattern 3.
Another commonly used classification system is the Brodsky and Rouse system. This system describes three anatomic Charcot joints (types 1, 2, and 3a and 3b):
Type 1 involves the midfoot
Type 2 involves the hindfoot
Type 3a involves the ankle; type 3b is a pathologic fracture of the os calcis tubercle
The multilevel Schön classification system is also used; it comprises four types and characterizes Charcot joints on the basis of sites and degree of involvement. [4] Each of the four types has three subsets (eg, type IA, IB, IC), which are based on the severity of involvement. The four types are as follows:
Type I - Lisfranc pattern
Type II - Cuneonavicular pattern
Type III - Perinavicular pattern
Type IV - Transverse tarsal pattern
The Schön classification system allows the prediction of outcomes and the estimation of treatment duration.
The exact nature of Charcot arthropathy remains unknown, [5] but two major theories exist regarding the pathophysiology of this condition: neurotraumatic and neurovascular.
The neurotraumatic theory states that Charcot arthropathy is caused by an unperceived trauma or injury to an insensate foot. The sensory neuropathy renders the patient unaware of the osseous destruction that occurs with ambulation. This microtrauma leads to progressive destruction and damage to bone and joints.
The neurovascular theory suggests that the underlying condition leads to the development of autonomic neuropathy, causing the extremity to receive an increased blood flow. This in turn results in a mismatch in bone destruction and synthesis, leading to osteopenia.
Charcot arthropathy most likely results from a combination of the processes described in the above theories. The autonomic neuropathy leads to abnormal bone formation, and the sensory neuropathy leads to an insensate joint that is susceptible to trauma. The development of abnormal bone with no ability to protect the joint results in gradual bone fracture and in the subluxation of the joint.
Any condition that causes sensory or autonomic neuropathy can lead to a Charcot joint. Charcot arthropathy occurs as a complication of diabetes, syphilis, chronic alcoholism, leprosy, meningomyelocele, spinal cord injury, syringomyelia, renal dialysis, and congenital insensitivity to pain. Diabetes is considered to be the most common cause of Charcot arthropathy. [6] There is also evidence for a relationship between Charcot arthropathy and rheumatoid arthritis. [7]
The prevalence of Charcot arthropathy ranges from 0.1% to as high as 13% in specialized foot clinics. In patients with diabetes, the incidence of acute Charcot arthropathy of the foot and ankle ranges from 0.15-2.5%.
Epidemiologic studies do not distinguish between acute and postacute disease. Bilateral disease occurs in less than 10% of patients. Recurrence of disease occurs in less than 5% of patients. Some studies indicate that men and women are equally affected, while others report a 3:1 predilection for males.
Outcomes for Charcot arthropathy are based on immediate diagnosis and treatment. A more favorable outcome is elicited when joints are treated within 2 weeks of injury and when there is strict adherence to weightbearing precautions.
Location of the disease also affects outcome. Forefoot arthropathies heal in less time than midfoot, hindfoot, or ankle arthropathies, as the following list illustrates:
Ankle - Mean healing time, 83 ± 22 days
Hindfoot - Mean healing time, 97 ± 16 days
Midfoot - Mean healing time, 96 ± 11 days
Forefoot - Mean healing time, 55 ± 17 days
Surgical treatment prolongs healing time. The extent of the injury also affects healing time. The more severe the injury, the longer it takes to heal and the greater the likelihood of permanent deformity. It generally takes 1-2 years to completely heal a Charcot joint, from the active phase to quiescence.
Stark et al performed a 5-year retrospective analysis of 50 patients presenting to a tertiary foot clinic with acute Charcot neuroarthropathy, with the aims of (1) determining whether the initial immobilization approach (total-contact casting [TCC] or use of a removable offloading device) influenced time to resolution, (2) determining the relapse rate after TCC use, and (3) determining whether neuroarthropathy location influenced time to resolution. [8] Of the 50 patients, 42 went into remission; 36 were treated with both TCC and removable offloading, five with removable offloading only, and one with TCC only.
Median time to resolution for patients initially treated with TCC was 48 weeks, compared with 53 weeks for those initially treated with a removable offloading device; however, the difference was not significant (P = 0.7681). [8] A relapse rate of 34.9% was noted for patients who were treated with TCC at any point. The location of the neuroarthropathy did not have a significant effect on time to resolution in this study.

Flurazepam Side Effects
Serious Flurazepam Side EffectsSome side effects with flurazepam, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These include but are not limited to:
- Problems with balance or falling down
- Suicidal thoughts or hallucinations
- Memory loss
- Anxiety, excitation, or agitation
- Hostility, aggression, or rage
- Depression
- Signs of an allergic reaction, including unexplained rash, hives, itching, and unexplained swelling.
Final Thoughts on Flurazepam Side EffectsYou may experience some or none of the flurazepam side effects listed in this article. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking the drug. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect of flurazepam, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.

Over time SEO has evolved; however, the job title has remained the same. So does the term 'SEO' truly reflect what we do now?
In the past SEO primarily focused on optimising landing pages, building links and conducting audits to fix technical on-site issues. These still remain a vital part of the job however the activities which add to this list have extended. We now focus on creating quality content, optimising across multiple devices and focusing on the customer journey. Overall, we now market and optimise websites for humans, not search engines!
A modern SEO now wears multiple hats across the digital marketing spectrum with skills in content marketing, conversion rate optimisation/UX and social media marketing. The evolved SEO role is now more complex than ever before however a number of aspects have been streamlined thanks to SEO friendly CMS websites like WordPress. CMS websites and readily available plugins fix a number of the technical issues and basic SEO elements which SEO's in the past used to invest a lot of time optimising and solving.
To summarise, SEO is now the practice of creating a great user experience along with knowledge across a number of marketing channels that work together to enhance search engine visibility compared to previously just optimising webpages for search engines. Is it time that we re-evaluate what we call ourselves?

Attorney – Colorado Bankruptcy
He's an expert in the field. I refer my clients to him. My colleagues refer clients to him. We do this because he knows the magic… He can generally work magic in a few months.
Aurora – Yared
I really am feeling much better after contacting you for your advice. Thank you so much.
Colorado Springs - Glenn
. . . you are separating the myths and the straight facts concerning credit. It is very refreshing to see the truth without a hidden agenda trying to sell me something. Keep up the fine work!
Denver-Barb & Bob
. . . Due to the low, low rate mortgage you were able to swing for us, we're financially comfortable now & never have money-related stress to worry about any more . . . We still try to watch our spending, however, & we seem to be thriving (for us!) financially during these hard economic times. We've slowly built our credit back up, too, although we don't use it that much…I just felt it was time to thank you guys again for ALL you did for us, & to wish you both happiness & prosperity in your lives.
Ft Collins – Sherilynn
Thanks. Its wonderful, priceless, etc. to receive reliable information to rebuild my life
Greeley-Mark & Susan
. . . Susan and I thank-you for your advice, and we certainly appreciate it. We have purchased 2 vehicles for our needs, paid with cash. Put some personal issues to rest and are ready to make a new start.
Lakewood – Chris & Tiffany
We also did not know anything about the mortgage. Jim walked us through the process with simple and straight talk. He was able to thoroughly explain any question in layman's terms so we clearly knew the process. This made us feel very aware and in control of what was going on. Coupling that with a quick closing made the experience the least painful as I could imagine.
Loveland – Dan
Thanks again Jim, we would have been able to get the house we really wanted if I had come to you in the first place. I won't make that mistake again.
Mountain Resort –Dick & Anne
. . . I never thought I would be dealing with something like we are dealing with and you have been an extremely helpful resource. THANKS!

Team plays as a symphony orchestra in just 2 hours!
In Orchestrate a group of people with no musical ability learn to play like a real symphony orchestra in just 90 minutes. Participants learn to play real instruments including strings, woodwind, brass and percussion. Once the instruments have been chosen, they work in separate sections under the guidance of expert musicians. When proficient they come together as one mighty symphony orchestra under the baton of the conductor to play a specially-written, five-minute-long piece of music. The effect is electrifying.
Orchestrate! is, without doubt, one of our most demanding and challenging events. It stretches people beyond their perceived limitations. It will demand hard work, total concentration and real teamwork. But, as hard as this challenge is, the reward is an experience that will never be forgotten. A symphony orchestra is one of the best examples of a team working as one. Emotionally and creatively the players have to be tuned-in to each other, and people doing different tasks have to work together towards a common goal.
It was the most fun I've had in ages and I think that the concept is a stroke of genius. I felt a huge sense of achievement by the end of the performance. It was very impressive".

I need the sea because it teaches me,
I don't know if I learn music or awareness,
if it's a single wave or its vast existence,
or only its harsh voice or its shining
suggestion of fishes and ships.
The fact is that until I fall asleep,
in some magnetic way I move in
the university of the waves.
-Pablo Neruda
Pablo Neruda was deeply in love with the sea. It is easily reflected in his poems, as well his lavish avant-garde homes that face the sea, are decked with wood and provide the ambiance of being on ship.
Who in the world does not love the sea(except those who get sea sick?)
But I want to delve further. What makes us love the sea?
I loved this question(and its answer): Humans have collected sea shells since before recorded history. Why are we compelled to collect sea shells? Does all collecting behavior stem from the same root and are humans the only primate that collects objects?
So is there some deep connection between humans and the sea?
Or is it something like the sky, unreachable hence intriguing?
Why do our nerves relax upon staring at the vastness of the ocean? Why does our breathing become all the more soothing like a musical rhyme? Why do our eyes droop as if having attained moksa?
One, perhaps, is the vastness. There is an evolutionary adaptive sensitivity to bigness that can create the emotion of awe within us. That similar feeling is created when you enter a huge space. Mesmerized. Awed. Speechless.
The second perhaps, is what Robert Henri said.
"It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think."
The Advaita Vedanta talks about the world through one single reality called the Brahman, which it defines as the whole gamut of the existence of things. A human being, on contrary, is a being- a mode of existence.
What ignorance, perhaps leads us to do, is to attach our perishable body with our immortal self. And that led to the concept of the 'other'. The understanding lies in the realization that self is Brahman. Equally germane is this marvelous piece of story written by Andy Weir-The Egg. There is a certain kind of euphoria indeed that is attached to such a realization. It's not that life becomes meaningless when one tries to detach himself from the so called maya. It is rather that your life attaches itself to meanings, not people, thoughts, fear and ego.
And following is the beautiful analogy I came across.
Consider the Brahman as the ocean, and the self as the waves.
They can not be separated. Only distinguished- at the linguistic level by assigning different words.
You can observe the vastness of existence, the existence of many selves which keep merging into it. You may choose to see them as different waves, but they being part of the blue expanse remains the very truth of nature.

5 Rooms That Can Be Cleaned with $5
Categories: Lifestyle | Posted: August 19, 2016
You would be surprised with what you can clean with so little. Just buying a bottle of vinegar from the store, you can clean your house at a fraction of the price you would pay for chemical cleaners! It's cheap and it's natural so you won't have to worry about what those chemicals will do to you or your home. Here are 5 areas in your home you can effectively rid of bacteria, mildew, and dirt with using vinegar as your main cleaner!
Use vinegar as a mattress disinfectant! First purchase a spray bottle or you can utilize an empty or used windex/409 bottle to save money. Mix together vinegar, a pour or two of rubbing alcohol and a couple drops of tea tree oil in the the bottle. Spray your mattress with the mixture to help fight off dust mites, mildew and any odors. Don't be too generous with the amount sprayed, you want to refrain from soiling your mattress with the mixture. Less is more! If you find that it's not enough, try following up with a shake of baking soda across the mattress. Wait til it dries, then pass the vacuum to clean it up.
Laundry Room
Replace fabric softeners with vinegar when doing your laundry! It will create the same results but at a much lower price. Add a cup of vinegar to the final wash or rinse in the cycle. It will remove the static and soften the fabric just like you'll expect. Plus, you'll be surprised at how the smell is no longer present!
Living Room
For this space, focus on the areas that have glass, i.e. tabletops, media center doors, lamps, picture frames, etc. Mix together half vinegar and half water in a spray bottle to give them all a nice clean and sparkle!
It's definitely a good idea to skip using the chemicals in the places you store your food, like your refrigerator! Just clean with a 50-50 water-vinegar solution and you can even store the bottle in the refrigerator too!
You can also rid your plastic containers of food stains by letting them sit with a coat of vinegar applied. Then you just wash as normal and they are good as new!
Using straight or diluted vinegar is very handy when battling stains and odors. You can even pour a cup of vinegar into the toilet bowl and let it sit overnight to remove any toilet rings.

2015 Girls Inc Taste Event
Last weekend I photographed the 2015 Girls Inc of Alameda County Taste Event. You can view my final photo gallery of 161 photos and you can scroll through this post and preview several of the images from the event in downtown Oakland.
I photographed the 2014 Taste fundraiser last year too. It was also at the Rotunda. I have included the blog post. I am also including the photo gallery. Last year, the event started at the Girls Inc's Simpson Center across the street from the Rotunda.
I did not taste much of the food this year, but I photographed the preparation. I hope I captured the excitement on both sides of the curtain.
The auctioneer was excellent again this year. When I was in high school, my mother worked for an auction house, so I know the rhythm of a good auction. This experience probably helps me photograph an auctioneer, especially when there is a good one.… Read the rest
Girls Inc Alameda County First Annual Taste
On Saturday September 13th, 2014, I photographed the 1st Annual Taste fundraiser for Girls Incorporated of Alameda County. The main event was held in the Rotunda Building in downtown Oakland. Guests gathered at the Girls Inc. main headquarters across the street before dinner and the live auction. (HERE ARE THE PHOTOS)
I asked to photograph the event. I had photographed the 2012 Women of Taste fundraiser, and I was impressed with the organization. Though the 2014 version of "Women of Taste" was different, I still wanted to contribute. I explained some of my personal reasons in my blog post two years ago. Those reasons still exist.
Before the event, one of my friends asked me why I wanted to photograph this year's fundraiser. I never know how to answer these types of questions. Usually, I answer honestly, but I omit some of the more compelling reasons. Why was a Women's Studies major?… Read the rest

'For the Benefit of All Mankind': The JPL Technology Transfer Program
April 10 & 11
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is known for missions that greatly impact our understanding of the solar system and the universe. But the ground breaking research and development done at JPL has also had many impacts on everyday life on earth. JPL innovations can be found everywhere, from farms to hospitals to our very own homes. The goal of the Technology Transfer Program at JPL is to seek commercial applications for the inventions developed at the Laboratory. Successful technology transfer results in new products for all, and can result in new companies or even new industries. JPL's history is rich with such examples, and shows how the space program can immensely benefit the quality of life for all mankind.
