Customers buy expertise for a reason; it fills a gap they can't fill themselves. As an expert, one of your superpowers is pattern recognition, and the ability to simplify complex issues for your customers. Through many years of learning, doing and reviewing what you do, you've built a valuable frame of reference that helps you to see things that your customers simply can't see for themselves.
Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".
More recently, Lisa Bodell, author of Why Simple Wins, lays out a compelling case for reducing complexity in the way that modern organisations work.
Complexity, she says, is a monster that is killing our ability to innovate and adapt. Because we are constantly knocked around by disruption, it's becoming much more tempting and destructive for companies to add more and more, without sweeping away what's no longer useful. This then becomes a huge drain on competitiveness.
Bodell cites an initiative by the Boston Consulting Group to track complexity by building an index based on surveys of more than 100 companies on both sides of the Atlantic.
What they found is both eye-opening and terrifying.
Over the last decade and a half, the amount of procedures, vertical layers, interface structures, coordination bodies and decision approvals needed in each of those companies had increased by anywhere from 50% to 350%. Extrapolating this over a longer time horizon, BCG found that complexity had actually increased by an overall average of 6.7% a year over the past 50 years.
Not surprisingly, complexity is also damaging organisational performance. Recently, SAP's Global Simplicity Index found that complexity destroys a full tenth of company profits each year – or a combined $237 billion for the top 200 firms around the world.
Simplicity is the antidote to complexity.
When you're pitching to a customer, make sure you value your ability to simplify things, to see the big picture, to flex and stretch, and to cut through their mental clutter.
Your ability to synthesise and make sense of a huge amount of information, and to find the holes, gaps and opportunities that will reduce complexity in their organisation, is work that your customer doesn't have to do themselves – and that you should be rewarded for.

Brad and Mary helped sell our house and we couldn't be happier! We went through an extensive selection process to find the right real estate team to work with to sell our house and it sure paid off!
They were extremely responsive and dependable from the start. Their full service team included design consultation, staging (which was incredible), a very organized scheduling process, and dedication and dependability through to the end.
We would not hesitate to recommend the GoWylde team if you're looking for a high quality realtor!

Hello dedicated and disappointed followers. I'm very sorry to leave you hanging after a mere 3 weeks of my last adventure, but I'm hoping to redeem myself now, with my latest.
In case you haven't been informed, this latest adventure is set in Boadilla del Monte, Spain. A beautiful town about 20 minutes outside of Madrid. As I am preparing for the GRE in the fall, one of my favorite expressions of late is, "Boadilla is to Madrid as Kendall is to Miami." The task in Boadilla is to be the cuidadora for two Spanish princesses, Claudia (8) and Angela (6). For those not as fluent as I, a cuidaora is Spanish for an Au Pair, a nanny, directly translated, 'the girl who cares for us,' or as I like to refer to myself: Maria Poppins. I got the gig by way of my sister. The mother of the princesses, Isabel, was one of Kefryn's roommates when they lived in Madrid (2000ish). She requested me, or someone like me to look after her kiddies for 6 weeks of summer while her and her marido (hubby) go to work. You all probably know that last summer I was unavailable, but we made it happen in 2011.
The new and improved Mary Poppins bag, circa 2011.
I left Miami on the 30th of June, 3 days after my 21st birthday marathon, and arrived in Madrid on the evening of July 1st. Isabel was waiting for me in the airport. She brought me to our home in Boadilla where I met the aforementioned marido, Angel. The girls weren't home because they had stayed with their grandparents in Manzanares (see: Don Quixote of La Mancha). After a tour of my rooftop cuarto, a little unpacking, gazpacho, y frozen pizza dinner, I put myself to bed - I would be meeting princesses tomorrow, after all...
The princesses wearing every piece of jewelry I brought.
Isabel and I left for Manzanares via Madrid in the late morning. We had to pick up her brother, Antonio's girlfriend, Luna on the way. Luna, next to Claudia, is the best translator I have encountered thus far. The town of Manzaneres is just as you would expect the setting of a 17th century Spanish novel to look like - and so does the abuelos' house. The bottom floor is used for Summer and the top for Winter. Two complete houses, one on top of the other. Every room on the bottom has at least two doors, and the entry room is decorated in spectacular classic spanish tile. It's fantastic.
Unfortunately, the only pictures I was motivated to take of this Spanish masterpiece was of the dog, Linda.
I was quite nervous about what to expect when I walked in. But the second I did, I knew I was in the right place. The little one immediately grabbed my hand and hasn't let it go since. And the older one doesn't like me as much--she only likes to hold my hand/sit in my lap 90% of the time. These girls are the most loving girls I've ever worked with - that is not to talk bad about any other kids I've looked after, but I usually have to work a little before I receive that kind of love. Claudia speaks beautiful english and Angela is so fervidly eager to learn, it blows me away. And I am happy to say that by the end of this I expect to have the Spanish vocabulary of a completely fluent 6-year-old!
After spending the day at Isabel's parents with her sister, brother, and their significant others, we headed back to Boadilla. The next day was lunch in Madrid with Angel's parents, twin brother, and unfortunate Nadal Wimbledon loss.
Wimbledon Watching.
Today, the fourth (yay America?!), was my first day alone with the girls. It included barbie-playing, homework - complete with a reading from my bilingual Cat in the Hat present, pool time, lunch (Isabel's cream of pumpkin soup & albondigas), tv + siesta for la cuidadora, more pool, dinner, iCarly en Espanol, and bedtime/blogtime.
The pool time was also "Angela-kidnap-Landis'-camera-and-take-pictures-of-everything-in-sight-time." So you have her to thank for these because I had definitely not been as diligent...

So, I began Massage Therapy school August at one of the most premiere massage schools in Wisconsin. I officially enrolled on April 27, 2016 and will complete the program on April 27, 2017. Full Circle. Stay tuned for massage offerings in 2017.
I wanted to hold on to this news but it was hard to contain. This was one of those dreams I buried away because of time, relationships, negative self-talk and fears. I really haven't blogged since I wrote "Move in Silence" in June. I have been moving out loud though, living my dreams and creating the life I want to live full-time.
This concept of silence got me thinking about how I have selectively communicated with my friends and family in the past, especially during difficult times. I hardly shared the whole truth and nothing but the truth when life was not so good. People often suffer in silence but celebrate out loud. How quickly could we move out of suffering and move into healing if we spoke out loud in those moments?
Redefining SILENCE!
Speak to gain
Insight with someone you
Love so you can
Empty experiences with an Empath
New revelations to
Create a new path
Embark on your journey to Healing & Joy
I'm not asking you to publicly share your private, personal situations. I am asking you to speak in SILENCE to someone who truly cares about you and has sound judgment or no judgment at all. It's time to

While sitting in the drive-thru last week, my husband grew increasingly frustrated at the over 20 minutes wait to get our food. This was at a restaurant that offers customized food options, but should probably NOT have a drive-thru option.
Here's why: When you think of a drive-thru, you think of a 5-10 minute wait. I mean it's supposed to be fast food, right? So when you're customers are expecting 5-10 minutes, but actually end up waiting 20+ minutes, you've inevitably got some disgruntled customers. These angry customers generally don't return and, at the very least, complain about it to others. And it all could have been avoided. How?
Well, for this restaurant example, the answer is simply do NOT offer drive-thru service. How does that help? Simple: It implicitly sets and manages the client's expectations. Think about it. Without any acknowledgement or warning, we know instinctively that if we go inside a restaurant, we are going to wait longer than 10 minutes. It comes from years of dining in at our favourite locales. Our expectations have been clearly set, so there is no complaining when we go inside and have to wait a minimum of 20+ minutes to get served. If it's a Friday or Saturday night, we'll wait longer because we expect to.
We all know how important it is to take care of our clients. Not just because they are the best, but also because they are our warmest leads. We need to be servicing the crap out of them regularly…not just when they reach out to us…and in ways that are meaningful to them. The first step to doing this should always be setting expectations when you first start working together and then following through to manage them as you continue to work together through a thorough and sincere client servicing program.
Good businesses know that it's about more than the sale. What happens after the sale is what is going to make or break you.
So let me ask you: Do you have a thorough and sincere client servicing program in place that you are following regularly?

When I moved to Texas, oh so long ago, and began exploring the traditional cooking I discovered that I really had my work cut out for me. The state is so large that there are numerous microcosms for food styles. Traditional Southern cooking, coastal specialties, cowboy cooking, barbecue, Tex-Mex, German and Czech (yes, you read that right ... where do you think that chicken fried steak probably came from? Not to mention Elgin sausages.).
Therefore, it is a real pleasure to find cookbooks that understand the various facets of all the things that make Texas cooking unique. I'm going to be sharing a few of my favorite resources with y'all, beginning with Homesick Texan.
She's living in New York but dreams of finding the perfect refried beans and flour tortillas. As she perfects her recipes she shares them along with a generous heaping of food history and Texiana. If you want to know more about the myriad foodways of Texas, her most recent visit home will give you a sampling.

The Royal Song of Saraha (Dohakosa)
January 14, 2011, 03:31:06 PM »
maybe the greatest doha ever written by a tantric buddhist master, hope you enjoy
Homage to the destroyer of demonic power!
The wind lashes calm waters into rollers and breakers;
The king makes multifarious forms out of unity,
Seeing many faces of this one Archer, Saraha.
The cross-eyed fool sees one lamp as two;
The vision and the viewer are one,
You broken, brittle mind!
Many lamps are lit in the house,
But the blind are still in darkness;
Sahaja is all-pervasive
But the fool cannot see what is under his nose.
Just as many rivers are one in the ocean
All half-truths are swallowed by the one truth;
The effulgence of the sun illuminates all dark corners.
Clouds draw water from the ocean to fall as rain on the earth
And there is neither increase nor decrease;
Just so, reality remains unaltered like the pure sky.
Replete with the Buddha's perfections
Sahaja is the one essential nature;
Beings are born into it and pass into it,
Yet there is neither existence nor non-existence in it.
Forsaking bliss the fool roams abroad,
Hoping for mundane pleasure;
Your mouth is full of honey now,
Swallow it while you may!
Fools attempt to avoid their suffering,
The wise enact their pain.
Drink the cup of sky-nectar
While others hunger for outward appearances.
Flies eat filth, spurning the fragrance of sandalwood;
Man lost to nirvana furthers his own confusion,
Thirsting for the coarse and vulgar.
The rain water filling an ox's hoof-print
Evaporates when the sun shines;
The imperfections of a perfect mind,
All are dissolved in perfection.
Salt sea water absorbed by clouds turns sweet;
The venom of passionate reaction
In a strong and selfless mind becomes elixir.
The unutterable is free of pain;
Non-meditation gives true pleasure.
Though we fear the dragon's roar
Rain falls from the clouds to ripen the harvest.
The nature of beginning and end is here and now,
And the first does not exist without the last;
The rational fool conceptualising the inconceivable
Separates emptiness from compassion.
The bee knows from birth
That flowers are the source of honey;
How can the fool know
That samsara and nirvana are one?
Facing himself in a mirror
The fool sees an alien form;
The mind with truth forgotten
Serves untruth's outward sham.
Flowers' fragrance is intangible
Yet its reality pervades the air,
Just as mandala circles are informed
By a formless presence.
Still water stung by an icy wind
Freezes hard in starched and jagged shapes;
In an emotional mind agitated by critical concepts
The unformed becomes hard and intractable.
Mind immaculate by nature is untouched
By samsara and nirvana's mud;
But just like a jewel lost in a swamp
Though it retains its lustre it does not shine.
As mental sloth increases pure awareness diminishes;
As mental sloth increases suffering also grows.
Shoots sprout from the seed and leaves from the branches.
Separating unity from multiplicity in the mind
The light grows dim and we wander in the lower realms;
Who is more deserving of pity than he
Who walks into fire with his eyes wide open?
Obsessed with the joys of sexual embrace
The fool believes he knows ultimate truth;
He is like someone who stands at his door
And, flirting, talks about sex.
The wind stirs in the House of Emptiness
Exciting delusions of emotional pleasure;
Fallen from celestial space, stung,
The tormented yogin faints away.
Like a brahmin taking rice and butter
Offering sacrifice to the flame,
He who visualises material things as celestial ambrosia
Deludes himself that a dream is ultimate reality.
Enlightening the House of Brahma in the fontanelle
Stroking the uvala in wanton delight,
Confused, believing binding pleasure to be spiritual release,
The vain fools calls himself a yogin.
Teaching that virtue is irrelevant to intrinsic awareness,
He mistakes the lock for the key;
Ignorant of the true nature of the gem
The fool calls green glass emerald.
His mind takes brass for gold,
Momentary peak experience for reality accomplished;
Clinging to the joy of ephemeral dreams
He calls his short-thrift life Eternal Bliss.
With a discursive understanding of the symbol EVAM,
Creating four seals through an analysis of the moment,
He labels his peak experience sahaja:
He is clinging to a reflection mistaken for the mirror.
Like befuddled deer leaping into a mirage of water
Deluded fools in their ignorance cling to outer forms
And with their thirst unslaked, bound and confined,
They idealise their prison, pretending happiness.
The relatively real is free of intellectual constructs,
And ultimately real mind, active or quiescent, is no-mind,
And this is the supreme,the highest of the high, immaculate;
Friends, know this sacred high!
In mind absorbed in samadhi that is concept-free,
Passion is immaculately pure;
Like a lotus rooted in the slime of a lake bottom,
This sublime reality is untouched by the pollution of existence.
Make solid your vision of all things as visionary dream
And you attain transcendence,
Instantaneous realisation and equanimity;
A strong mind binding the demons of darkness
Beyond thought your own spontaneous nature is accomplished.
Appearances have never ceased to be their original radiance,
And unformed, form never had a substantial nature to be grasped;
It is a continuum of unique meditation,
In an inactive, stainless, meditative mind that is no-mind.
Thus the I is intellect, mind and mind-forms,
I the world, all seemingly alien show,
I the infinite variety of vision-viewer,
I the desire, the anger, the mental sloth -
And bodhicitta.
Now there is a lamp lit in spiritual darkness
Healing the splits riven by the intellect
So that all mental defilements are erased.
Who can define the nature of detachment?
It cannot be denied nor yet affirmed,
And ungraspable it is inconceivable.
Through conceptualisation fools are bound,
While concept-free there is immaculate sahaja.
The concepts of unity and multiplicity do not bring integration;
Only through awareness do sentient beings reach freedom.
Cognition of radiance is strong meditation;
Abide in a calm, quiescent mind.
Reaching the joy swollen land
Powers of seeing expand,
And there is joy and laughter;
Even chasing objects there is no separation.
From joy, buds of pure pleasure emerge,
Bursting into blooms of supreme pleasure,
And so long as outflow is contained
Unutterable bliss will surely mature.
What, where and by whom are nothing,
Yet the entire event is imperative.
Whether love and attachment or desirelessness
The form of the event is emptiness.
Like pigs we wallow in this sensual mire
But what can stain our pearly mind?
Nothing can ever contaminate it,
And by nothing can we ever be bound.

Dear matthias,
Excellent doha of Saraha. It should be read again and again for greater insights. It is pure non dualism. Thanks.
Meantime, how was your trip to Tibet and other places? Could
you visit Sri Ramanasramam? Please write about it.

dear subramanian ji
Iam in tso pema (lotus lake) in himachal pradesh at the moment, I found my root guru (as they call it in the tibetan tradition) and stay with him to practice under his directions...
he fullfills all my aspirations that I had and it is a blessing of maharshi that I found him.
he is meditating in a simple room, he has nearly no followers (I met three so far) and he is still practicing alltough he is fully realized throughout all three states (waking dreaming deep sleep) he makes no show whatsoever, he is not traveling (sometimes giving teachings in the west) but always stays in his mountain hermitage..and looking directly at the nature of mind.
he said that the beeings who stay in caves and practice meditation are far greater then those teachers that travel around to teach beeings, even if you dont see it right away, but they benefit and influence the whole of humanity (so he is teaching similar to ramana, behaving similar to him and I feel he has the same realization, but off course not such a great beacon like bhagawan...but the light is the same)
I feel his guidence even when I sleep.....I practice 7 h a day six days a week, now I took a day off to went down to town and check emails buy some supplies and meet friends.
Iam deeply content and happy with what is. meditation under the guidence of a saint is all that men needs to feel bliss and peace....everything else is deluded activity.
my exgirlfriend could visit arunachala and I begged her to bring me something from there, so she brought me a stone from arunachala wich I always carry with me. I will come back next year and maybe visist to practice there for some 1,2 weeks I will inform you, so that we can meet in real life and talk about whatever we like to talk about
I feel I found my second home in india subramanian ji, in many ways there need work to be done here in many other ways india is the mother of religion and spirituality and all indians should be extremely gratefull to be born here. (ofcourse the beggars wont be to gratefull..anyway you know what I mean)
much love

Dear matthias,
Thank you for your details about your stay in Himachala Pradesh
and practicing meditation under the competent guru. All gurus are
one and the same principle. Some gurus are like bees, they go to
several flowers and suck honey or give reproductive material. e.g.
Jesus Christ. Some others are like pantheons who stay put and eat
the creatures that come near them. They in fact, eat the ego.
Regarding a small stone that you got from Arunachala, it is good.
I also got one sold by some one on the Hill. My wife said that I have been cheated. The price is not much - Rs 20 only for the stone of the size of an eraser. But it is Arunachala for me. In
Brahman, is there small and big? All are Brahman.
Let us meet in Arunachala during next year, if our visits coincide,
Sri Bhagavan willing.
Thanking you,
Arunachala Siva.

'He's like family to us:' Shooting in southwest Edmonton sends one man to hospital
An early Sunday morning shooting at a southwest Edmonton apartment has sent one man to hospital.
Police were called to a unit at 1939 104 St. in the Keheewin neighbourhood just before 5 a.m. for reports of gunshots, acting Staff Sgt. Mike Keef said.
A 35-year-old man was injured and taken to hospital with life-threatening gunshot wounds, said a news release by the Edmonton Police Service on Sunday.
He remained in stable condition as of late Sunday morning. No arrests have been made and police are still investigating.
Ryan Jobe said he was told by his father, Burt Jobe, who lives at the apartment, that he heard dogs barking around 4:50 a.m. and a noise from the back patio he shared with one other roommate.
The 64-year-old went to investigate the living room where Brian Burton had been staying on the couch for four months. Burton was awake when the two men noticed a figure on the patio of their ground-level apartment.
Burton shouted at the man and was subsequently shot through the glass patio screen doors in the chest. The assailant fled the scene and Ryan Jobe, who lives nearby, arrived shortly afterwards to help.
Ryan Jobe said his father was shaken up after the shooting. He said he hoped to get in contact with Burton's family. Burton had previously been homeless but was looking for work.
"We know him," said Ryan Jobe. "He's like family to us, he's a really nice guy and we like him. We're genuinely concerned for him and his well-being right now."
Ryan Jobe said he didn't know if the shooting was random or targeted but there was nothing nefarious going on in the apartment.
"There's no gang, drugs, or anything going on at my father's place," he said.
Police remained at the scene around 11 a.m. and tape was still protecting the crime scene.

After playing Wolverine for 17 years, even before the superhero genre took off to dominate the box office every year, Hugh Jackman bowed out, per https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/, in what can only be described as the ultimate, no-holds-barred superhero movie, Logan. It was an almighty conclusion to the Wolverine cycle that even had Deadpool needing to up the ante in his second film.
However, during Jackman's reign and now after Logan, there are plenty of great Australian actors rising to prominent roles in the two big superhero cinematic universes: the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Extended Universe. Here's what's in the works for the Aussie superheroes in the coming years.
Warning, spoilers ahead if you're not up to date with the MCU or DCEU.
Thor is one of the few left intact in the MCU
At the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Chris Hemsworth, as Thor, flew into Wakanda to defeat the armies of Thanos and pretty much rescue the Avengers becoming overwhelmed by the tides of vicious Outriders. Once Thor collected the Infinity Stones and beat up the Avengers a little bit, Thor came flying in with his custom-made, titan-killing axe to kill the Mad Titan. Unfortunately, he lands in Thanos' chest, allowing him to snap his fingers to initiate "the Decimation," which kills half of life in the universe. As one of the few characters remaining post-decimation, and as a Norse god, it's down to Chris Hemsworth's character and the other survivors to try to reverse the Decimation and put an end to Thanos.
Aussie actress Cate Blanchett was also a prominent figure in one of the MCU movies, playing Hela, the first female villain in the cinematic universe. In Thor: Ragnarok, she helped to reboot the character of Thor to create a much more likeable movie, giving him a truly evil nemesis to deal with, who happened to be the goddess of death and Thor's sister. Unfortunately, with Asgard destroyed – from which Hela draws her power – we're unlikely to see the character appear in another movie, as shown by https://www.bustle.com/p/.
DCEU loves Aussie villains
The MCU may have had Cate Blanchett play the goddess of death, but DCEU features a whole crew of villains which now consists of one-third Aussie actors, following the events of Suicide Squad. Margot Robbie plays the part of Harley Quinn with Jai Courtney in as Captain Boomerang, both of whom are forced into the squad to serve the government. Critics didn't particularly like the movie, but it's garnered somewhat of a cult following. It's become popular enough to not only warrant a sequel but to also get its own progressive jackpot game at https://casino.betfair.com/c/slots, which has proven to be very popular. To thank the fans for their loyalty, the DCEU went out to pick up the much-loved Guardians of the Galaxy director and writer after his dismissal by Disney – who owns the MCU – to hopefully bring about an even better sequel.
Robbie will be a prominent feature of the DCEU going forward, reprising her role as Harley Quinn in the next Suicide Squad as well as in Birds of Prey and Gotham City Sirens – which she will also take on the role of producer – and Courtney is expected to stay on as Captain Boomerang. More recently, Nicole Kidman has performed as Queen Atlanna, Aquaman's mother, in the latest DCEU cinematic release, which has received decent feedback from most critics so far.
Going forward, New South Wales native Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie of Queensland are set to be major figures in their respective superhero universes in the near future.

Y'all. This weekend was one for the books for my family.
On Saturday, more than 80 women gathered at Collected LKN to worship, grow, and be launched into their God-breathed dreams. Then on Sunday, more than 300 people came together to join in one voice of praise to our God of abundant blessing during the first worship service in our new church building. Everything God did in the past two days was beyond anything we could have imagined. It's incredible to think of what these tiny seedlings might grow into.
Life has been pretty full of preparation these last few weeks. On top of preparing for the events over the weekend, I'm also leaving for Kenya very soon, which always requires quite a bit of planning, meetings, administrative work, and packing. In the midst of the fullness, last week we lost a close friend of the family to a sudden heart attack. He was one of my husband's best friends and his family is so very dear to us. Hosting out-of-town guests in our home, attending the services, and walking through personal grief added to the expected level of difficulty leading up to the weekend.
Something happened to me after Collected on Saturday. In the interest of practicing what I preach and keeping it real, I want to explore and share what I experienced.
While we were cleaning up after the workshop, I found myself combatting terrible feelings of discouragement. I knew it was the enemy coming at me and took the thoughts captive and prayed for the Holy Spirit to take over my thoughts and emotions, and yet they would creep back in again and again. I couldn't understand why I wasn't elated by all that God did and focused on how the Spirit moved in the hearts of so many of the women who attended.
Instead, my mind was flooded with thoughts of all the little things that didn't go as planned and things I could have done better. As we cleaned up and prepared the church building for Sunday morning, there were a couple of private moments when I confessed one-on-one what was happening in my heart and mind to two different members of my team. We immediately prayed it out, declared Truth, and claimed victory over the enemy's efforts to steal joy, distract, and discourage.
Yet, when I got home, I sank into the tub for a hot bath (I've also had a cold for weeks now, by the way) and all I could hear was, "You're not actually good at this. You can't do this. You should just shut this thing down and get a job and write the book in your spare time."
Later, I shared what was happening with my trusty bestie and she gave me a Holy Spirit spanking, as we call it. God used her, and the other two women from earlier to remind me of the Truth. Later still, my husband prayed over me and I remembered everything that has led us to this point. All the ways He's called, instructed, and covered all of this with His Grace. I zoomed out to see things for what they were and by the time I fell into bed, the heaviness of the lies and attack had finally lifted and the enemy was defeated once again.
On Sunday morning, the joy of our first service in our new church home seemed to multiply the late arrival of celebration in my heart from what had happened the day before. Tears came so easily and worship was more intimate than ever before. I was a hot mess as all the keep-it-together-ness of the week before unraveled in the safety of my church community.
Looking back for places where God was moving and expressing gratitude for His faithfulness feels like the right thing to do this morning. When I review, I see where He strengthened and sustained me when I was weak. He lined up an army of a team to prepare the new church building in time for the weekend. He called and empowered a gifted team of women to come alongside Miklala, Jes, and me who made things happen without being asked. He gave us words of Truth for the women who needed them most at Collected. He gave me the courage to be vulnerable and ask for help in shutting down the enemy's schemes. He moved mightily in the hearts and lives of the people who attended both of the weekend's events. He provided faithful friends to sharpen me, and supportive family that walks with me arm-in-arm into my dreams. He inspired generosity in the hearts of the women at Collected and we raised more than $3,000 for Flourish Kenya!!! And He brought a powerful presence into His house for our first Sunday in the new space.
What a generous and loving God we serve.
As I was giving thanks for all of these things and more this morning, there were few ideas He emphasized with me in the midst of it all and I want to share them with you.
1) You don't start on top of the mountain. You have to climb it.
Getting there takes hard work. You're going to struggle to keep your footing and you may need to stop and catch your breath once in awhile. You will probably slip and have to climb back up certain portions as you ascend, maybe more than once. But you have to just keep climbing until you reach the summit.
2) Walking in victory is a choice and it's imperative.
When you are doing Kingdom work, the enemy puts a target on your back. "But You, oh Lord, are a shield around me." (Psalm 3:3) We are surrounded by His protection and have nothing to fear… but we will still have to battle it out at times. Knowing that victory is yours through Christ in the end, one way or another, is the key to remaining strong through the fight.
3) The Spirit-led wisdom of the people around you is what will keep you grounded and rooted in Truth when you can't find your way out of oppression on your own.
We are meant to stand up for one another and do battle together. Be willing to bring what the enemy is doing in the darkness into the light. We have to call it out and crush it before it can take root. This can't happen if we aren't each actively seeking God's wisdom on a regular basis so that we are armed and ready when our comrades need us.
Have you had times when the fullness of life took your mind, heart, and spirit for a roller-coaster ride like the one I experienced this weekend?
Do you need some iron to rub up against so you can be sharp right now in the midst of a battle?
What stories of victory can you share today?

Out to make a quick buck, they often sell the unsuspecting long-term investment funds to secure big commissions and massive upfront fees by dangling visions of early retirement and prestigious education for their children. It is a job that many don't know about unless they or a close family member has experienced some kind of serious breathing problem. Carmen's job is to help patients with long-term breathing problems feel more at ease and to protect the health of other organs in their bodies by making sure they are inhaling an adequate amount of oxygen. On an average day, Yolanda conducts financial research related to creditors' claims and completes legal forms. Although bankruptcy is a dreary process, Yolanda has compassion for the clients she works with, many of whom got into their present financial crises as a result of a medical emergency or an extended period of unemployment.
Yolanda enjoys her vocational career as a paralegal at a bankruptcy firm, which exposes her to many facets of the financial industry, and she likes the fast-paced, diverse nature of her work. Kristine likes the regular hours and fast-paced environment of her vocational career, and she appreciates the stable salary and generous benefits. She became interested in the vocational career path when she learned how quickly it got her certified and into a substantial, good-paying job. She also needed the flexible hours the job offered in order to be home with her children.
She likes learning new skills that make her more valuable to her hospital, and she also likes the increase in her salary. In his schooling, Robert learned the basics of running a business, such as invoicing clients and keeping track of business expenses, but his father has recommended that he find an accountant or financial planner to help him with his taxes. Stacy is presently in the process of going back to school to become a dental hygienist, which will make her more marketable in the dental industry and increase her salary.
She is pursuing a two-year program which will qualify her to perform cleanings as well as some minor dental procedures, and it will also increase her salary. One of his most important jobs is checking a patient's account to make sure the present prescription won't counteract or cause an adverse reaction in combination with other medications that the patient may be taking.
The job is also a fit for him because he enjoys using his hands, and he enjoys helping people feel better. The most popular jobs will always be the ones that don't require a stringent 40 hour week, much like my profession of Legal Process Serving. After that you will be confident enough with what you are doing and then go from there in finding the job that best suits you. I quit cold turkey from a job as Vice President of a bank, with a fairly promising career path, in order to be a full-time Mom to four kids.

Wish You Were Here
Surely there are times in our lives when we're set apart from the ones we want most to be with.
People in my country say that eyes that are not seen are to be soon forgotten. That time and distance play major role in all relationships. That if you're not together, you soon take your own paths and alienate. But I've seen people who live together and lack togetherness. People who can look into your eyes and swear they love you and can't even imagine living without you, and yet they

How to Prevent and Reverse Cancer *
In the last few years I've been searching a lot of information about what to eat and how to live in order to improve my health condition. I've been suffering all my life from different forms of allergies and often been sick. Step by step I dropped meat, fried & canned food, milk and dairy products, sugars, flour, chemical cleansers, etc. I've read a lot of books and listened to gigas of presentations and lectures. But the book I read last, Never Fear Cancer Again: How to Prevent and Reverse Cancer by Raymond Francis, M.Sc., was the one that impressed me most.

I'm back with another slime recipe, y'all. With the release of Incredibles 2 on Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD,™ Blu-ray,™ DVD and On-Demand, I wanted to make this Incredibles Slime to celebrate!
Making Slime
If you've never made slime before, you're in for a real treat. Making slime is so much fun and it's a great opportunity to see science at work. While making slime is not an exact science, I am going to teach you the basics of making a great batch of slime.
My kids and I have made lots of different slimes but I've only been able to blog a few. If you want some other slime recipes, I've linked them for you below.
No Borax Slime Recipe
I know many people make slime with Borax, but I've yet to try using it to make slime. Most of my slime recipes use liquid starch instead. I just find that using liquid starch and glue makes the perfect slime.
For this Incredibles Slime we are only using 3 ingredients. The key to a quality slime is using quality ingredients. I've tried some of the cheaper products and for slime is just doesn't work. Play dough on the other hand is a different story. You can use the cheaper products for homemade play dough and it works just fine.
When it comes to quality ingredients for making slime, Elmer's and Sta-flo are the products I recommend. I have personally used these products when making slime with my children and have better results.
Elmer's GlueBuy Now!Liquid StarchBuy Now!
Incredibles Slime Ingredients
To make Incredibles Slime you'll need just a few key ingredients. You can pick these up at your local store or you can order them on Amazon. I always use Amazon because it's so hard to find the gallon-sized jug of glue at the store. If you plan on making more batches of slime, don't worry with those tiny bottles. Pick up a big bottle instead and save some money.
- 1 cup white glue (clear glue won't really work well for this slime recipe)
- acrylic paints
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup liquid starch
How to Make Incredibles Slime
Scroll down to the bottom of the page for a printable tutorial.
Because making slime does require the use of products that aren't safe for consumption, we do recommend that making slime be a family project. In other words, adult supervision is recommended. It's also really important to make sure you wash your hands before and after making/playing with slime.
To make this slime you'll need to pour the white glue into a medium-sized bowl. If you want to make smaller batches instead, just cut the ingredients in half. Do this for each color you want to make.
Next, add the paint to the glue and mix until the combined. Keep adding and mixing paint until you reach the desired color. There's not an exact amount to use here. Just eyeball it and keep adding paint to get deep colors.
Then, pour in the liquid starch and stir until it's hard to stir.
Remove the slime from the bowl and knead with your hands for a few minutes until it's not longer sticky. If it's still sticky, you'll need to add just a small amount of liquid starch to the slime and knead again.
Note: Be careful when adding more liquid starch. Adding too much liquid starch will turn your slime into a hard mess.
Liquid Starch Slime
The really great thing about slime is that you can make it any color you want. For this Incredibles Slime I used four different colors: black, red, orange, and yellow. I colored the glue with acrylic paint instead of food coloring like I normally use. This was my first time using paint and I love the way the colors turned out.
I also tried using tempura paint, but I had trouble getting the red to actually look red. It might have worked with the other colors but I just moved on to acrylics.
I did have to use a good amount of paint to get the desired colors. But I think it would have been the same issue using food colors. I'm not sure which way is cheaper since I haven't done the math, but I did use the cheapest acrylic paints I could find at Michael's.
Playing with Slime
After making each batch of Incredibles Slime, I took a bit from each color and laid them out next to each other in long strands. You can pull it, you can stretch it and you can mix it.
As you begin to mix the colors, the slime will turn brown. So while it doesn't stay colored like Incredibles Slime indefinitely, it's still fun to play with.
Remember – this slime is not edible or even taste-safe. This should not be put into the mouth for any reason. Please carefully supervise your children during play time.
Cleaning Up Slime
The key for cleaning up slime is vinegar. What you'll want to do is remove all the excess slime from the area that you can using a paper towel. Then soak the area in white vinegar for about 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes, use a little warm water on the area and pat and blot dry using another paper towel.
Note: It's important that you don't rub it. This will push the slime into the fibers and make it even harder to get up.
You will probably need to repeat this process several times before you get all the slime. When you've removed all the slime, allow to dry and then vacuum.
Incredibles 2
We've waited 14 long years to be able to experience the Parr family again. And Incredibles 2 does not disappoint – it was worth the wait. If you haven't already, it's time to reunite with this incredible family of Supers.
Oh, and you must watch the all-new mini-movie "Auntie Edna," which gives fans a glimpse of fashion visionary Edna Mode's all-night endeavor to design a suit to best harness baby Jack-Jack's expanding super powers.
Y'all – I don't want to give anything away – so all I'm going to say is pick up your copy NOW!
Don't forget to pin this Incredible Slime recipe to one of your favorite Pinterest boards.
Incredibles Slime
Slime is so much fun to play with. Pair it with a movie and it makes a great gift.
- medium-sized bowls
- something to stir with
- Pour the white glue into medium-sized bowls. Do this for each color you want to make.
- Add paint to the glue and stir until the combined. The amount of paint you need to use depends on the color you wish to achieve.
- Pour in the liquid starch and stir until the mixture is hard to stir and begins forming into a slime.
- Remove slime bowl and knead with your hands for a few minutes until it's not longer sticky. If it's still sticky after kneading for a few minutes, you'll need to add just a small amount of liquid starch to the slime and knead again.
Adult supervision is recommended.
Be careful when adding more liquid starch. Adding too much liquid starch will turn your slime into a hard mess.

Each month, hundreds of agent owners accomplish the expedition to Illinois Tollway address in Downers Grove or buzz the tollway's active chump annual centermost to accomplish their case adjoin assessment violations and fines for which they accept they are not accurately responsible, assessment ascendancy admiral say.
It can be a continued and arresting action that wastes time, elevates claret pressures and fosters accessible ill will against the Illinois State Assessment Highway Authority.
Now, there is a bigger and abundant easier way to claiming assessment violations that for a cardinal of affirmation tollway barter should not be appropriate to pay. Those affirmation accommodate a agent awash or baseborn afore the violations occurred, or a agent that was the albatross of an ex-spouse at the time of the violations.
Starting Monday, tollway barter can claiming assessment violations online at illinoistollway.com.
It's the aboriginal time the assessment ascendancy has acutely authentic the affairs in which battling a assessment abuse is acceptable, tollway controlling administrator Kristi Lafleur said.
The action involves downloading a anatomy and commitment the completed, active anatomy and appropriate affirmation to the assessment authority. The assessment ascendancy will acknowledge with a decision, via mail, in about two weeks, Lafleur said.
"We apprehend that about 2,000 barter a ages will be able to use this automated action online," Lafleur said. "We alone appetite to aggregate (missed tolls and fines) from bodies who appropriately owe us money. So we are authoritative it as accessible as accessible for bodies who are abominably answerable due to a misunderstanding."
The form, alleged an affirmation of dispensation for toll, lists seven affirmation that agent owners can altercation violations, or they can annual and call an added reason.
The seven listed affirmation for against violations are:
The agent was awash and in control of a new buyer back the abuse occurred; the agent was baseborn and not in the owner's control back the abuse occurred; the buyer was afar and the ex-spouse was amenable for the agent at the time the abuse occurred; the registered agent buyer is dead; the abuse was accustomed back the agent buyer was application a backup I-PASS transponder; the abuse was beatific to addition who is not the registered agent owner; and the agent was repossessed and in the aegis of the acknowledgment aggregation back the abuse occurred.
The best accepted affirmation that drivers altercation assessment violations are incorrect registered agent owner, accounting for about 93 percent of challenges anniversary month; and that the agent had been awash afore the violation, about 3 percent, tollway backer Wendy Abrams said.
Divorce, baseborn vehicle, acknowledgment and afterlife of the registered buyer anniversary annual for 1 percent of the absolute account challenges on average, she said.
A vehicle's registered buyer or owners accept a apprehension afterwards three assessment violations accept occurred in a two-year period. There is a 21-day borderline to pay the tolls and fines, appeal a audition or claiming the violation.
Individuals who claiming violations can now do so anon online. Questions about the affirmation of dispensation for assessment anatomy can be answered at 800-824-7277, admiral said.
To auspiciously claiming a abuse and accept the amount bound quickly, it's important to arise the claiming afore the due date listed on a additional notice, which is the final adjustment of liability, admiral said. In cases area the assessment ascendancy rejects the challenge, agent owners may be adequate to agenda an authoritative hearing.
Documentation appropriate with the claiming anatomy is spelled out on the tollway website. For example, if the agent was awash afore the assessment violation, a archetype of the bill of auction or a affidavit of agent appellation alteration would be acceptable. Likewise, a archetype of a badge address or an allowance annexation adjustment address would aggregate affidavit of a baseborn vehicle; or a cloister adjustment or annulment decree appointment buying of the agent in the case of a divorce.
In the case of a afterlife of a registered owner, a archetype of the afterlife affidavit would be required. However, if there are two registered owners listed for the vehicle, the additional buyer would still be accountable for the violation, tollway admiral said.
In 2012, assessment capital collections are estimated at $923 million, according to the assessment authority. Abuse administration is accepted to add $40 million, bringing the year's absolute to $963 million, or 99 percent of abeyant assessment revenue, admiral said.

New York…John Bartlett
John Bartlett was obviously in no mood to send waif models with painted on pants down the runway. Instead, he went back to a time when men dressed like men, and celebrated relaxed silhouettes. Inspired by "men of the road," Bartlett mixed what is probably the best of modern dandy with "Grapes of Wrath" perseverance. Wool sweater vests had a low scoop neck and were tucked into loose fitting trousers, giving an even more enlarged profile. Exaggeration was the name of the game as shoulders looked even more broad than usual due to the cinched waists. A relaxed leather jean was a standout piece, as was the delicate rosettes that adorned overcoats.

第二篇 Deforestation and Desertification(沙漠化)
The Sahel zone lies between the Sahara desert and the fertilesavannahs(热带大草原)of northern Nigeria and South Sudan. The word sahel comes from Arabic and means marginal or transitional ,andthis is a good description of these semi-arid (半干旱)lands, whichoccupy much of the Western African countries of Mail, Mauritania, Niger, andChad.
Unfortunately, over the last century the Sahara desert has steadilycrept southwards eating into once productive Sahel lands. United Nationssurveys show that over 70 percent of the dry land in agriculture use in Africahas deteriorated over the last 30 years. Droughts have become more severe, themost recent lasting over twenty years in parts of the Sahel region. The sameprocess of desertification is taking place across southern Africa as theKalahari desert advances into Botswana and parts of South Africa
One of the major causes of this desert advance is poor agriculturalland use, driven by the pressures of increasing population. Overgrazing 一 keeping toomany farm animals on the land一 means that grasses and other plants cannot recover, and scarcewater supplies are exhausted. Overcultivation 一 trying to grow toomany crops on poor land 一 results in the soil becoming even less fertile and drier, andbeginning to break up. Soil erosion (侵蚀) follows, and theland turns into desert.
Another cause of desertification is loss of tree cover. Trees arecut down for use as fuel and to clear land for agricultural use. Tree rootshelp to bind the soil together, to conserve moisture, and to provide a habitatfor other plants and animals. When trees are cut down, the soil begins to dryand loosen, wind and rain erosion increase, other plant species die, andeventually the fertile topsoil may be almost entirely lost, leaving only barerock and dust.
The effects of loss of topsoil and increased drought are irreversible.They are, however, preventable. Careful conservation of tree cover andsustainable agricultural land use have been shown to halt deterioration ofsoils and lessen the effects of shortage of rainfall. One project in Kita insouth-west Mali funded by UNDP has involved local communities in sustainablemanagement of forest, while at the same time providing a viable(有活力的)agriculturaleconomy. This may be a model for similar projects in other West Africancountries.

A have a look at a very powerful tales of concern to media and advertising professionals. It is my assertion that the actual fact that the Structure of the United States exists and the federal and state governments work to make its mandates real for all People, including the both of you; it is THAT which constitutes an identifyable, actual intangible contribution to the success of your business; and due to this fact obligates you to observe the laws of the Structure.
As a part of capitalism's emphasis on high-effectivity, sociology and phycology professors, Croteau, Hoynes, and Milan (2011) have argued that the corporate news media house owners demanded substantial returns on their investments" (p.fifty nine), which created revenue pressures.
Organizations such because the NAACP, the United Negro College Fund, National Association of Girls Business Owners, the American Tract Society, the World Jewish Congress and any other private organization ought to have the fitting to permit membership to solely these people who match the dynamic of the organization as decided by the group itself.
I'm arguing that a private business or group ought to be capable to rent AND serve who they please…within the public sector of police and fire safety, no…but, in non-public entities, YES…I said in my arcticle that it is personally repugnant and in addition, normally, unhealthy business.

The U.S. Board will hold their annual meeting in Oaxaca, Mexico from November 2nd – 4th. We would appreciate your prayers that God would grant us His wisdom, direction, and purpose for this vital ministry.
Our beloved Keith Durkin will be sharing at the Friday night dinner, November 3rd. Keith and Maya have served in Mexico for many years as church planters. He began his ministry at the Baja Mission. Presently they're feeding hundreds of displaced children in Tijuana.
Please call Linda at (949) 492-2200 if you plan to attend the dinner. It will be held at Lutheran Church of the Cross on El Toro, Laguna Woods, CA.
Barry Wineroth introduced us to Brian Mooney who served as the mission host for a number of years. Brian often told the miraculous story of his healing as a child. He married Margaret and they went on to Belize to serve the Lord at a daycare center. Then the Lord took Brian home. Margaret was left with three children and continues to serve in Belize. Please pray that God will meet her many critical needs.
For 50 years Bel Air Presbyterian Church has furnished turkeys and the makings for our Thanksgiving dinner. But the day has come when we can no longer transport turkeys across the border into Mexico. The Van Dykens, who have made all the preparations for Thanksgiving dinner for many years, were prepared for this year but we have no turkeys and fixings. Please pray. This may be a project to which you'd like to contribute so we may purchase the ingredients in Ensenada.
Judy Gama is the founder of Wings in Redding, CA, our only auxiliary. Judy is in critical condition and has had multiple issues related to her heart. We can never forget the celebration she hosted for our 50th anniversary. She was led by the spirit to honor the oldest member of Wings and Lorraine Barter, our bookkeeper, who graduated to heaven shortly thereafter. Judy needs a healing touch by Jesus.
Charles and Robin Nahas have faithfully served our newsletter mailing team for years. They come to our Friday night dinners every month, and each month I see Charles' strength waning. Please pray for him and for Robin, who had a bout with cancer.
Connard and Deanna Hoffman have served both in Oaxaca and at the Baja Mission. The Hoffmans are multi-talented missionaries and very faithful prayer warriors. Connard will be having a kidney and growth removed on November 30th. Please pray.
Linda Strom, Discipleship Unlimited, has been a faithful supporter for years. They have purchased Charla's Children and The Little Lost Pup and distributed them throughout the prison at Gatesville, TX. How we thank God for Linda and her ministry to "the least of these." Thanks to their donation, one of the staff members in Oaxaca was able to travel to Ixtepec, which was affected by the recent earthquakes. They were able to construct a shower for them and are providing the water needed to run the shower. They also handed out needed supplies to the people living in this camp.
Our annual Alternative Christmas campaign started in October. You can help meet the basic needs of the ministry as well as our surrounding communities in Baja and Oaxaca.
A friend of the ministry included a note with her donation: "This gift is given to further the wonderful work you are doing. It it given in memory of my husband, Reverend Alfred W. Walck and his sister, Amanda M. Walck, parish worker, it is also given in honor of our family of 12 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
My husband and I were foreign missionaries to Papau New Guinea for 26 years.
We have been impressed with your work and regularly read your newsletter, often sharing it with the family. The grandchildren chose to give toward the peanut butter and milk project. The little ones will enjoy receiving an ornament to hang on their Christmas tree to let them know where their grandfather's memorial was sent.
Thank you for the good work among the children of Baja and Oaxaca."

My name, Afriye, means "child born at the right time"; and I arrived into this world on my father's birthday! My parents chose this Ghanaian name because they believed in choosing names that build up a child's self image, identity and esteem.
At the age of five, I announced that I wanted to be a doctor; but, during my childhood, I excelled at oratory competitions, sought out leadership positions, loved the debate team, and public speaking. So, everyone actually thought I would become a lawyer. I majored in Public Policy Studies (combination of political science & economics) at Duke, while completing the prerequisites for medical school. As I studied both dance & theater throughout childhood, I continued in college as a Duke Dancing Devil (like the new show "Hit the Floor", which I love!).
My high school required a certain number of volunteer hours for graduation, so my first job was not paid. I interned in a variety of places - from a radio station to the pediatric ward of a Childrens' Hospital. As I stayed in school until becoming a physician, I never really had any long-term job until my career. I did work-study for money in college. Overall, my pre-career job experiences served mostly in developing my ability to engage people (from a variety of ages, cultures, and backgrounds); and, it shaped my ability to adapt and learn new skills quickly. Like many experiences before the age of 30, these shaped my character more than provide direct training for my career. I believe that diversity and well-roundedness early in life favors a woman's maintenance of balance later in life.
I have always had mentors at each life stage. The first were the circle of community "mothers" who loved me, aided my development, and (just prior to puberty) took me through my Rites of Passage into womanhood (a tradition from African culture, which is the model used in the pledge process of Black Greek-lettered Sororities/Fraternities). The key medical mentors were Dr. Brenda Armstrong, who I met during college, and Dr. Yvonne Thornton (author of "The Ditchdigger's Daughters"), who actually trained me during my residency in OB/Gyn. They allowed me to absorb their life experiences, as personal and professional interrelate. In taking me under their wing, they allowed me to bounce critical thoughts about shaping my career off them. And, for me, this was the proverbial "inside scoop"!
I became an obstetrician/gynecologist because of my passion for Women's Health. It is hard to name a single greatest career accomplishment because the most rewarding experience is impacting the lives of others. I have developed over 10 year relationships with some patients, and the bond grows with time, as in any relationship. While bringing a child into this world is extraordinary, the reward is greater when I have followed the entire pregnancy, and watch all of the children of the family as they grow. It is rewarding to see a young woman in the office who is seeing a gynecologist for the first time because I can empower her journey of self-awareness. Our femininity, our comfort with ourselves, is the core of our self image. When we are confused or worried about our well-being, we are less than our most radiant selves. It is this premise which allows me career gratification outside of the "white coat".
I have done many speaking engagements, health fairs, and panel discussions in which the gratification comes from captivating and inspiring others about individual and community health.
If I had access to "Back to the Future", there is not much about my life that I would change. I am more than content with the outcome to present. I do have a greater appreciation for the "life permanency" that often comes with career (i.e. great accomplishments are like building an Egyptian pyramid- they require discipline, persistence, and evolving enthusiasm). Therefore, I believe (more with each year of my life) that youth is a critical time to experience diversity, while cultivating discipline. I studied abroad in Spain for a summer in college, and I speak Spanish. I do not think one can travel to too many countries or speak too many languages. Were I eighteen today, I would travel EVERY summer at least 1 month through some educational program, and learn more languages. I will still accomplish these things in my lifetime, but I have far less "free time" due to the realities of career devotion.
The personality traits that I have which best suit my chosen medical specialty include compassion, endurance, stamina, leadership, trustworthiness, decisiveness, and sincerity. During medical school, doctors rotate through all specialties; and in this journey, you learn what you do not like faster than you figure out what best suits you. I immediately knew that I loved the operating room and surgery, yet I needed to form relationships with those I treated and I wanted to see their health evolve over time. I knew that I loved "flying in on my cape & saving someone's life", yet I also loved more long-term gratification, like seeing a woman as she brings all of her children into this world.
I would advise young women seeking medical careers to firstly develop the character befitting a leader, because you are responsible for people's lives. Try to experience many, diverse learning opportunities from your local community to the global diaspora. Learn to get along with everyone. Meet people from varying ethnicities and cultures, & develop an earnest appreciation of their lives and histories. Surround yourself with people with whom you can share mutual respect, learning, and appreciation. And lastly, to quote another of my mentors: " Honor what you feel. Never be afraid to make a mistake, because mistakes (when evaluated) make masters. A woman who cannot laugh at herself is a danger to herself and others.
Each day is a blessing, what you do with that blessing determines how you will be blessed. The accumulation of material possessions is not a measure of success. Always give your best and never doubt that it was good enough. A woman is what she thinks, and what she thinks is a reflection of what she holds in her heart." excerpts by Iyanla Vanzant

I ran a quick model of a 40 m inverted V, suspended 30 feet off the ground, with the ends about 9 ft off the ground (i.e. high enough so you can't touch it). With just 100 Watts into the antenna, the peak field at 2 m off the ground (head height) is about 88 V/m, about 9m from the center support. The peak field at 3m off the ground is somewhat higher, about 1000V/m. The ANSI C95.1 limit for controlled environments at 7 MHz is about 270 V/m In practice, you're not going to be keydown for 6 minutes, so you get all those averaging factors to work with, but certainly, one can bust the limits pretty easily, particularly on 20m and higher, where the limit is lower (61.4 V/m at 30MHz), with remarkably low power. One might want to be careful if you're doing, for instance PSK31, RTTY, or Pactor.. pretty constant envelope, long duration. > > > > Another problem I ran into was with a phased array, where there's a lot of > > circulating power among the elements. I suspect that for any > >Even then, don't you have to get pretty close to any particular element even >in the hear field as inside a phased array? yes.. but "close" is a relative term. Think of someone putting up a multi element Yagi for, say, 20m, on a temporary pole at field day, say 20ft off the ground, and then putting 100W into it. A Yagi with decent gain is going to have power circulating in the near field that is 4 or 5 times the power being radiated. So, take numbers like the ones for the inverted V, above, and multiply them by 2 or 3 to account for the circulating power that's stored in the antenna, and the fields can get pretty high, even at some distance (say a few meters). Look at Emerson's article in the antenna compendium, or his graphics here: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/demerson/endfire.htm Emerson gives an interesting way to think about the extent of the high field area: It's comparable to the size of a non-superdirective antenna with the same gain. A dipole has a gain of 2.15 dBi (G=1.64) To a first order, antenna gain (as a number) is the number of Directivity = 4*pi*Aperture (in square wavelengths) for a dipole, the aperture is about 0.13 square wavelengths (a lot of people assume it's close to a half wavelength by a quarter wavelength, which is 0.125 square wavelengths.. close enough) A 10 dBi antenna will have an effective aperture of about 0.8 square wavelengths. If we say that it's like a circle the radius of that circle would be about 0.5 wavelengths. So, for that 20m Yagi, with 10dBi gain, you'd want to stay at least 10m away to stay out of the high field area.

Nanotechnological products, processes and applications are expected to contribute significantly to environmental and climate protection by saving raw materials, energy and water as well as by reducing greenhouse gases and hazardous wastes. Using nanomaterials therefore promises certain environmental benefits and sustainability effects.
Rising prices for raw materials and energy, coupled with the increasing environmental awareness of consumers, are responsible for a flood of products on the market that promise certain advantages for environmental and climate protection. Nanomaterials exhibit special physical and chemical properties that make them interesting for novel, environmentally friendly products.
The advantages of nanotechnological products include the increased durability of materials against mechanical stress or weathering, helping to increase the useful life of a product; nanotechnology-based dirt- and water-resistant coatings to reduce cleaning efforts; novel insulation materials to improve the energy efficiency of buildings; adding nanoparticles to a material to reduce weight and save energy during transport. In the chemical industry sector, nanomaterials are applied based on their special catalytic properties in order to boost energy and resource efficiency, and nanomaterials can replace environmentally problematic chemicals in certain fields of application.
Nanotechnology has the potential to profoundly change the world as there won't be many areas of product manufacturing over the next few years which won't be enhanced in some way by the various nanotechnologies. However, for that to happen successfully the safety issues in many areas need to be satisfactorily resolved.
ECONANO was created with the premise of keeping our environment clean and protected. Our products help to reduce the amount of chemicals that are being used in our everyday lives and making things last longer, indirectly benefiting the environment.
The vast majority of our products are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Only the best and most secure products are chosen for our range, always keeping in mind the need and importance of keeping the nature safe.
We believe that Nanotechnology shows a lot of promise for big benefits in terms of environmental protection in the future. For example, better pollution sensors and clean up systems, cheap and portable water treatment and more effective filters for pollution and viruses. In addition, the potential for environmentally friendly fuels like solar cells and hydrogen storage, better fuel efficiency and energy storage, pesticide replacements and more efficient, lighter cars, planes, ships, all help save materials and fuel.
