Do you feel like have no control over your coaching business?
Do you feel like you're not attracting your ideal clients?
Are you sick and tired of being broke all the time?
Are you worried that you may not be cut out for entrepreneurship?
The inspiration
I was having lunch with a former colleague who wants to quit her job, find a great coach training program because as she put it, she "just so in love with the freedom entrepreneur lifestyle and cannot wait to become a fabulous coach." You know those pictures on Instagram that show coaches coaching on the beach in the most beautiful locations around the world. I call it Instagram envy.
Her reason for choosing coaching?
The freedom. The impact. The transformation. The love. The service.
But mostly the freedom. She can wake up when she wants. Do what she chooses to or as she put it, what she's vibing with on that particular day. She doesn't want to be held back. She doesn't want to feel chained. She hates routines and schedules and absolutely hate plans. She really loves her freedom and wants to celebrate her spontaneous gypsy soul.
She's over the whole working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week thing and wants her life back. She'd love her coaching business to 3x her current $175,000 base salary so that she can support her ultimate dream lifestyle.
She wanted to pick my business coach brain to see what steps she needs to take to break free of the chains and give the middle finger to routine forever. And she wants to work 4 hours a day, three days a week. She's committed to doing this especially if she doesn't have to "get a routine or anything."
I understand completely.
I used to have the same recurring dream on my lifestyle vision board. Mine includes me and my daughter just chilling and loving life no matter where we are. Part of my inspiration for becoming an entrepreneur was to have the flexibility and freedom to spend as much time with my little girl as I desired (without guilt).
Entrepreneurship In A Nutshell
This got me thinking about one of the biggest Money Mindset issues women entrepreneurs face when starting, growing or even scaling their business. (This doesn't apply to just coaches even though I see it showing up regularly in the coaching space. I consistently made (if I'm honest, I still make) this mistake in my fashion and coaching business at least 2 days a week).
Whoever thinks entrepreneurship is a luxury walk in the park clearly hasn't watched The Profit.
And whoever thinks starting and growing your own business is a matter of finding something you love doing/selling, getting an MBA and creating a beautiful website just hates their boss and wants to quit their job.
It's not that romantic.
Being an entrepreneur is oh so worth it.
The excitement. The highs. The lows. The wins. The fails. The learning curves. The first paying client. The first cancellation. The first six figure year. The list goes on.
And the ultimate gifts? The Service and Transformation. Plus the opportunity to stretch and grow. You can't put a price on that!
What is Your Business Money Mindset?
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you want to create something great, strategy falls flat without a premium money mindset. All the tools, tricks, hacks, strategies and coaches won't save an entrepreneur who doesn't have the mindset to implement those amazing tools.
What is one of the biggest Money Mindset issues that creates consistent self-sabotage for women entrepreneurs, leading to feast and famine months?
What self-sabotaging behavior stands in the way of women entrepreneurs hitting their 10X life and business goals?
I Hate Routines
Do any of these statements sound familiar? Maybe you or someone in your circle has an intimate relationship with at least one or more of them.
I hate routine. I hate schedules. I quit my job to not have to deal with structure and schedules. I hate making plans. I never get my to do list done – I just seem to add more stuff to it that doesn't get done. I just want to be free and do what I want when I feel like it. Schedules and routines are boring and claustrophobic. I just want to have fun in my business.
I've heard it all from clients (and said it all to my coach too).
While I get the whole routines are boring excuse, I've also learned that the single most important key to creating freedom in my life and business is to have routines, especially being a single mum juggling multiple commitments.
Some form of stability and consistency so that prevent feast and famine months to consistently hit my monthly client goals, income goals, impact, charity and volunteer goals, and enjoy work and play to the fullest.
Women entrepreneurs usually associate feast and famine months with not getting enough clients or marketing woes or feeling sleazy about sales.
Those are all true. But in my personal and professional experience, I've seen more of it in what I refer to as the "Start Stop" game entrepreneurs play when they experience some form of fear.
The "Start Stop" game is triggered by a reaction to success; the fear of success.
How Does the Fear of Success Create Feast or Famine Months?
Let's take myself for example. Prior to going into coaching full-time, I noticed that I was operating under an income ceiling. If I hit that number or close to that number, I somewhere managed to create lower numbers the next month. No matter how hard I thought I was trying or what I told myself, I just never got above that income ceiling.
It was as if I'd hit my income goal and immediately pull back like I had touched a hot iron. Have you ever wondered why you consistently make the around the same amount of money or less?
Let's say you want to make $5000 per month and for the last six months you've been around $4,300 to $4900… no matter what you do.
I noticed it in my business and with my client's too. Most importantly, it was happening to my inner circle…. What's that thing about you been the average of the top 5 folks you hang around?
Why was this happening to me?
Fear of Success. Fear of being seen. Fear of making money. Fear of playing big. Fear of earning more self-made money than I was comfortable with. Fear of being corrupt or greedy. Fear of being bad.
And the big one? Who did I think I was? Who gave me permission to earn money?
Forget the whole God is my source – I am abundant line I love to tell myself.
When my limiting beliefs kick in, I crawl back into my "I'm not enough," "I'm not worthy" and "I don't deserve this" cage.
I wait patiently for someone to give me permission to step out again. Owning my value or my brilliance becomes a distant memory.
As I worked with my clients and my own mess with my coach, I noticed that by avoiding routine or structure, I was subconsciously creating the resistance and feast or famine months, and repelling the very things I wanted.
I was swimming in a sea of competing intentions. Intellectually, I want to make X amount of money, while subconsciously telling myself, "nah, not happening. You can't handle that. You're not ready for that. You can't even manage the stuff you have to do now."
How was I using the "Start Stop" game to create feast or famine months? It was easy.
I'd create 3 clients in one month, and in the next, I'd tell myself, "well I got three clients last month, so I don't really need to do anything this month." I thrived on inconsistency because I absolutely hate routines. I'm an artist. I don't want to be tied down.
Some months were good. Others were bad. I was never really sure when bills would get paid because client creation and payments were always so erratic. I created only when I was in the mood. Both in my coaching and fashion business. And the dismal numbers showed it.
I felt like I was constantly on a roller coaster, but I convinced myself that at least I was FREE.
Initially, I committed to posting an article to my blog every Tuesday, but I'd do it only once a month because well, I'd tell myself I had posted 5 last month. That should balance everything out.
I committed to having 3 consultations every week. I was so inconsistent, I'd end up doing 10 one month, and 3 the next.
I committed to sending newsletters out twice a week, but I'd rock it one month and send out only 1 the next.
I was subconsciously making the choice to grow my business on shaky ground AND somehow I really didn't appreciate the consequences of my actions on my life and business.
At one point, I thought my coach would fire me. I continuously resisted creating a plan or even just writing down my goals.
But it wasn't working. I dreaded my to do list and volunteering became a chore because I was always worried I should be working on my business.
And then my coach asked me what I would do if I was my own client.
Does Routine Lead to Success?
So, I created a plan, a structured routine of my top 3 daily goals, and set a viable schedule for myself in both my personal and professional life.
It was amazing.
I created 6 extra volunteer hours per week and more time with my daughter.
I created consistent clients monthly.
I became someone who really wanted to create the impact I had committed to when I first made the decision to become a coach. I became my word.
I was inspired, productive and enjoyed my business. I created more ways to be of service AND alternate streams of income by writing my first E-Book, a Free 7-Day Mini Course and a 10x Money Mindset Membership site for Women Entrepreneurs and Coaches.
I went from sleeping 2.5 hours per night to 5 hours.
I created an extra 5 hours for my fashion business.
I found my zone of genius and created a work schedule that empowers me to work 4 days a week, 3 weeks per month.
Routine gave me freedom to create the dream life and business I desire. I no longer need those long to-do lists that never seemed to get done. I now do things when I feel like it (on schedule) and I still get all those core, routine, mundane tasks that need to get done in my life and business, done.
No more power leaks. And I'm learning to take tiny, consistent actions each day toward building a 10X business I love.
While I'm competently self-sabotaging in other areas (working on noticing those), I'm very proactive about being consistent with my spiritual and meditation goals, income goals, client goals, vacation goals, wellbeing and time goals, life goals, relationship goals, and charity goals.
Every now and I then I feel myself letting go of things that are currently working to slip back into my comfortable "I hate routine" cocoon, but I catch myself, notice it and ask myself what I need and who I want to be to step into my greatness?
I'm definitely not going to attract or create my ideal, premium clients from running around ragged with a "Pseudo-Free" mentality.
I notice that the clients who shift their mindset around this form of self-sabotage also increase their business, impact, time productivity and joy significantly.
Does this work for Everyone?
Every entrepreneur is different. Every client is different. I recommend being and doing what serves you best. This is what worked for me. I cut myself slack when I slip up because I'm human.
So next time you're consistently hitting a ceiling, I invite you to consider what you're afraid of. What are those tiny gremlins saying to you?
Ask yourself what support you need to take your power back.
Would a structure work for you?
What would that look like?
What support you need to create structure and routine so that you can take full advantage of the freedom, impact, money and service that this entrepreneur path provides.
Who would you be if you were a leader in your business? What would you create? How will it impact your life? How will it impact your clients?
Where Else Is This Showing Up?
Money mindset gremlins are not limited to money. It's just the easiest most quantifiable place to see them.
Consider where else in your life you are avoiding structure and the spiritual, financial, emotional, mental and physical impact it has on your life, business and relationships.
What is Possible?
I invite you to consider what is possible if you believe that it's safe to have some form of structure so that you can create a 10X life and business.
What is possible if you believe you deserve it AND you're worth being everything God created you to be?

Building a castle is a dream the majority of people won't fulfil, but LEGO's new addition to their collection is making that goal a little more achievable. It's cheaper than a trip to Disneyland - and just as enticing.
An epic 4,080-piece Cinderella Castle of Dreams has been unveiled, based on the iconic flagship attraction of Disney's Magic Kingdom.
The replica is full of authentic details for you to explore, with mosaic-tiled floors, suits of armour and a grandfather clock.
And you can create your own Disney adventures with the five mini-figures that are included: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Tinker Bell.
This being the Cinderella Castle, there is of course a pumpkin ready to turn into a carriage, along with a fireplace and broom for Cinders to clean each day.
Keen-eyed youngsters (and adults too, obviously) will be able to spot an array of references to other Disney movies too.
You can find Beauty and the Beast's wilting rose under a glass dome, scissors and a brush from Tangled, Sleeping Beauty's poisoned apple and magic mirror, and even two love-struck frogs on the front from Princess and the Frog.
Containing over 4,000 pieces, the set will require some patience - but we think you can do it!
The castle can be bought for £289.99 and is available to buy from September 1 at shop.lego.com.

Moroccan Tea Mint is a mint for use in Moroccan mint tea. This is a flavoured tea prepared in northern Africa and in Arabian countries. The serving of mint tea can take a ceremonial form, especially when prepared for a guest. Whereas cooking is women's business, the tea is a male affair: the head of family prepares it and serves to the guest, usually, at least three glasses of tea. There are many recipes for this type of tea on the internet.75mm pot

Now discontinued.
Earlier this week, the NFL fined Marshawn Lynch for his now-trademark groin grab gesture after doing it in the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers.
In addition to the $20,000 fine, the NFL told the Seahawks that if Lynch does the groin grab again during the Super Bowl, they'll be penalized 15 yards.
In a concerted effort to take the fun out of everything, that's all par for the course as far as the NFL goes. What's interesting is the fact that they're selling NFC Champion prints that feature a photo of the groin grab in the bottom left corner for $149.95.

So Theresa May will be the first foreign leader to approach the gold throne of the new US leader in the White House. The bust of Churchill is back in its rightful place in The Oval Office. Being first in is being trumpeted as a good thing - first in line, must mean he thinks we're special etc etc. Which in a way it, of course, is but there will be many leaders who are glad it isn't them going first into the ring with such an unpredictable and trigger-happy opponent. There is plenty to lose.
It's been argued that hers is the most sensitive and tricky bit of persuasion needed since Churchill met FDR in order to talk him into taking up arms against the Germans. But she is arguing in favour of more globalisation via the UK becoming a leader in free trade, whereas Trump wants to put up protectionist barriers to protect his hordes of 'left behinds.'
It's impossible to know what Trump really thinks about the British. Are we really his style? Nobody bar Nigel Farage over here has a good word to say about him. With a Scottish mother he could be as unenthusiastic about the English as many are North of the border. His feelings, as with most things that fizz and pop around inside that orange head of his, apparently change from moment to moment depending on where he thinks he can get some swift-footed advantage.
But if May thinks that we are going to be awarded with a super-beneficial trade deal tout de suite, then she has another think coming. With all his talk of America First, the agri-business, IT, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, aerospace and financial services sectors with their powerful lobbying machines will be looking for sweet deals from his White House that favour home-based businesses rather than those abroad. Don't forget he has widespread 'carnage' to heal.
And May is playing a pretty weak hand. She isn't acting as a go-between, an honest broker between Europe and the States. She isn't trusted by either side to fulfill that role. We're currently sui generis, out in no man's land. When May says that 'no deal is better than a bad deal' for the post-Brexit UK she is wrong. She has to get some sort of deal - to leave the EU without one would be disaster as we then scrabble with the legalistic nightmare of trying to come to terms with all the members of the WTO, one by one.
If you could bear to listen to Trump's short inauguration speech you would have heard that it's all about protection and buy American, not helping out the other half of a once-special relationship that is coming cap in hand because it's fallen out so badly with its European allies.
Trump has called Brexit 'a great thing.' I doubt very much if Theresa May would describe it thus. It's more of a barely-endurable pain in the neck for her - something that she was on balance mildly against in theory and will find near impossible to enact in reality. She will be remembered for nothing else once she is gone. All her sterling, deeply conservative Home Office efforts will be lost in the vast sands of time.
It suits Trump that Europe might fragment. One of the reasons it was set up in the first place was as a useful and necessary alternative to being caught up in the vicious binary conflict between the two superpowers, the USA and the Soviet Union. (There are many who still prefer the European system, however currently lame and stumbling, to those offered by either America or the Russians, especially as both have veered towards their own extremes.)
Trump might not wish to intervene in the affairs of other nations because of the dollars this costs. But that doesn't mean he does not wish the US to reassert itself as the undisputed top dog. He wants America to be not just 'great' again, but 'The Greatest.' And, in the meantime, senior Chinese diplomats are apparently saying things like 'China will assume world leadership if needed' which is truly chilling. I daresay they'd try to persuade us to use their own Beijing- approved internet search engines in the process.
Finally, I know every left of centre intellectual has weighed in with his or her take-down of Trump over the last year. But, as a reminder of what Theresa May will find on Friday, why should we deny the chance of Phillip Roth to get onto our website:
'I was born in 1933, the year that F.D.R. was inaugurated. He was President until I was twelve years old. I've been a Roosevelt Democrat ever since. I found much that was alarming about being a citizen during the tenures of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. But, whatever I may have seen as their limitations of character or intellect, neither was anything like as humanly impoverished as Trump is: ignorant of government, of history, of science, of philosophy, of art, incapable of expressing or recognizing subtlety or nuance, destitute of all decency, and wielding a vocabulary of seventy-seven words that is better called Jerkish than English.'
Theresa May had better hope that eight of those seventy-seven words are 'sure - you can have a Brexit trade deal'.

Shadow Games
Shadow Games by Michael Reaves and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff
The premise of Shadow Games is that a superstar singer has to hire a bodyguard to keep her safe from obsessive fans and other threats while she's on tour. So, yeah, this is The Bodyguard set in the universe of Star Wars, in what is the most unlikely meshing of stories I've yet seen in the Expanded Universe.
Amazingly, the story isn't that bad. It's not the most exciting novel I've read so far, but it moves as well as any of the other Star Wars books, and touches on enough of the usual tropes one would expect to find in the book. The downside of those usual tropes is that it becomes obvious what's really going on when the bodyguard is sensing the singer isn't telling him everything he needs to know. I won't spoil it for you, but if you can't figure it out by the halfway point, maybe you're new to the world of Star Wars.
I wouldn't rank Shadow Games among the worst the EU has to offer, but neither is it the best. That's a sentence that perfectly illustrates the saying, "damning with faint praise", but this isn't exactly a book to get too excited about. Fans of Reaves might like it, since it follows his usual style.

There is a staggering quantity of people taking College courses on-line as of late. In addition, from my very own understanding of the apps out there now for each gadgets, there is really not a lot between the two in terms of academic value and enjoyable. I will take it piecemeal, just to indicate what we have to know, how to concentrate to historic details/information and start to sew and rewrite our own tales and histories without being influenced nor affected by the Western-kind of education plaguing many people today. We hear rather a lot concerning the gotcha mentality of ATR area supervisors – the DOE wasteful jobs program for retired principals.
As a web based institution, we additionally consider that expertise helps broaden opportunities and will increase your reach and prospects. While online education shouldn't be acceptable for each household, it may be a wonderful center floor between traditional schools and homeschooling. Major variations between correspondence and distance education is the former provides a static studying environment whereas the latter provides a dynamic and interactive digital atmosphere. It has now expanded to online materials and reside tutorials… with the additional benefit of student-student interactions online, previously not potential except you swapped phone numbers.
Graduates of online packages obtain a acknowledged University of Liverpool diploma with the same validity and credibility as the equivalent degree awarded to graduates who've studied on campus.

Unfortunately, the importance of dental care in pets is often not well recognized and/or understood, especially in cats. Poor feline dental hygiene can cause a multitude of oral problems, a decrease in quality of life, and may contribute to diseases in other organ systems. The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of feline oral hygiene, signs associated with oral diseases, diagnostic and treatment procedures, risk factors, and preventative techniques.
Oral health problems in the feline patient may result from bacterial build-up in plaque and tartar, immune-mediated disorders, oral cancers, tooth fractures, or other patient-specific circumstances. Oral diseases can be quite painful, which can make it difficult for the cat to eat, drink, and groom. Often times the mouth may become so painful that the cat may lose weight because it has stopped eating. This can be very dangerous for cats, as severe or sudden weight loss can cause serious liver complications, as well as exacerbate diseases such as diabetes. Along with this, bacteria residing in the mouth may gain access to the blood stream and cause damage to the heart, kidneys, and liver (1). Furthermore, some oral disease such as stomatitis can be associated with feline retroviral diseases such as feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency (FIV); dental examination by a veterinarian may be useful in detecting an underlying disease such as FeLV or FIV. (2) Routine dental examinations not only aid in the detection and prevention of painful oral diseases, but also afford the opportunity to significantly impact the overall health and quality of life for feline patients.
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, approximately 70% of cats will have some form of oral disease by the age of three. Therefore, it is important to watch for signs in not only geriatric patients, who are the most susceptible to dental disease, but in younger cats, as well. Because dental conditions can often be difficult for the veterinarian to identify during routine annual exams, it is very important that owners notify their veterinarian if their pet has been showing any signs of oral complications. Cats with underlying oral disease may present with a change in eating habits, dropping food while eating, difficulty swallowing, pawing at the mouth, bleeding from the oral cavity, bad breath, facial swelling, hypersensitivity of the oral surfaces, weight loss, and behavioral changes, such as aggressiveness and irritability. (3) If any of these signs are present, the veterinarian should be notified so a thorough dental exam may be performed.
It can be difficult for veterinarians to accomplish a comprehensive dental exam, as feline patients often do not tolerate examination of their oral cavity. If the veterinarian suspects an underlying dental problem, he or she will likely suggest that the patient be anesthetized for a thorough dental examination and dental cleaning. It is important that owners recognize the need for anesthetized dental examination, as many underlying diseases cannot be diagnosed properly without a more extensive evaluation of the oral cavity. The veterinarian can easily perform dental radiography, dental probing, and take samples for biopsy while the patient is anesthetized. Along with this, if dental repairs are necessitated, the procedure can often be performed during the same anesthetization period. Furthermore, even if the patient has no serious dental pathology, it allows the veterinarian and veterinary technician to perform an extensive dental cleaning, which will help prevent disease in the future! (4)
Periodontal Disease:. Periodontal disease is the most common pathology found in dogs and cats. It is caused by the accumulation of bacteria in dental plaque and tartar, and results in inflammation and irritation of the gums. Two forms of the disease exist, gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the less severe form, and results when only the soft gum tissue is affected. Gums may appear red, irritated, sore, and bleed when touched. The patient often has halitosis, or bad breath. Gingivitis is usually reversible, and will likely resolve with a dental cleaning performed by the veterinarian and a course of antibiotics. However, left untreated, it can progress into the more severe form of periodontitis, in which infection spreads to the underlying bone that supports the tooth. Periodontitis is irreversible, and may result in pocketing of the gums, bone destruction, and loss of teeth. Therefore, it is important that owners treat gingivitis aggressively, by authorizing treatment with their veterinarian, as well as providing appropriate home care techniques, which are discussed in the next section.

Feline Odontoclastic Resorption Lesions (FORLs). FORLs are very common amongst the feline population, statistics indicate that 30% to 60% of cats may be affected by the disease. (6) Chronic, inappropriate activation of odontoclasts is believed to be the cause of FORLs. Odontoclasts function to "chew away" or resorb tissue in the tooth, and are responsible for aiding in tooth repair in the healthy individual. However, in patients with FORLs these odontoclasts are chronically active, and result in inappropriate tooth destruction. The patient usually shows signs of oral pain, and upon physical examination, evidence of erosion may or may not be present. Dental radiographs must be taken for accurate diagnosis if FORLs are suspected. Depending on the type and severity of the FORL, different treatment options may be recommended. Restoration of the affected tooth may be attempted in the early stages, however, this is often times unsuccessful, and complete extraction of the tooth becomes necessary. In some cases, a crown amputation may be performed, in which the crown of the tooth is removed but the root is intentionally retained. However, the most common type of treatment is complete tooth and root extraction of the affected tooth. Veterinarians should explain the benefits the animal will receive from tooth extraction (decreased pain, increased appetite, etc.), as some owners may be reluctant to authorize this form of treatment. (4)
Gingivostomatitis. Gingivostomatitis is an inflammatory condition in which a large area of the gums and oral cavity is affected. It can be extremely painful to the affected patient, and is characterized by red, swollen oral tissue that bleeds easily. Often, cats may present with teeth that are virtually free of plaque, yet the gum tissue and entire oral cavity may be swollen and painful. It is thought to be caused by an exaggerated immune response to bacteria residing in the plaque that coats the teeth, which means that excess bacterial load need not be present to cause inflammation. This differs from gingivitis in which an immune response toward the buildup of plaque and bacteria causes swollen gum tissue. However, just as untreated gingivitis may progress to periodontitis, so may untreated gingivostomatitis. Treatment plans vary from patient to patient, depending on the severity of the disease. Initial treatment generally consists of a thorough dental prophylaxis while the patient is anesthetized to remove the bacterium that is causing the hypersensitive reaction. Many cats will respond well to the cleaning, but will need repeat cleanings throughout the year. At home dental care through teeth brushing and oral rinses is critical in helping to control outbreaks of gingivostomatitis. Other therapeutic approaches include antibiotics and steroid administration. If these therapeutic approaches are unsuccessful, extraction of the premolar and molar teeth may be recommended by the veterinarian. In very serious cases, a full mouth tooth extraction may be necessitated. (6)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most commonly encountered oral tumor found in the cat, and, unfortunately the majority of these neoplastic growths are malignant. The affected cat may have difficulty swallowing, bad breath, difficulty eating, or may be asymptomatic. These growths may be difficult to detect for two reasons; they are often found in areas of the oral cavity that cannot be explored without anesthetization, and patients with SCC may remain relatively pain-free until significant growth of the tumor has occurred. If the veterinarian suspects SCC they will likely recommend a surgical biopsy in order to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Unfortunately, SCC is a very aggressive cancer, and the prognosis is generally less than one year from the time of diagnosis. Treatment options have generally proven to be successful in prolonging the life of the cat, and they include combinations of surgical excision of the mass or affected area, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Routine dental exams and dental cleanings are critical to detecting this disease early! (7)
Certain risk factors have been postulated to be associated with occurrence of oral diseases. First, age appears to be the largest contributor to the development of these diseases, as older cats are more susceptible to the development of oral diseases. Diet has also been postulated to play a role in the development of periodontal disease; cats on a wet or soft food diet appear to me more susceptible to contracting these diseases than cats on a hard food diet. (8) Patients with viral diseases such as Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), Feline Immunodificiency Virus (FIV), or Calici Virus may also be more susceptible to these oral diseases. (1) Interestingly, recent studies have shown that cats living in a smoking environment are at a much higher risk of developing squamous cell carcinomas than those living in a non-smoking environment. Particles from cigarette smoke stick to their fur, and when they groom themselves, the particles are transferred into the cat's oral cavity. (7) Finally, cats who do not have routine dental examinations and cleanings are at a much greater risk for developing a number of oral diseases.
The most important precaution taken to prevent or detect oral disease is to see a veterinarian annually for a wellness exam, discuss any signs of oral disease with the veterinarian, and be proactive about anesthetized dental exams and cleanings. Along with this, home-care may aid in the prevention process. Owners may elect to brush their cats teeth with a certified pet toothpaste purchased through their veterinarian's office. It may be difficult for the owner and the pet to adjust to tooth brushing activity; however, the benefits to be had may be well worth it in the long run. Along with this, many veterinary offices sell oral rinses that can be placed in the water bowl. These rinses help to prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar. Owners may also elect to switch their pet to an all dry food, if that diet is appropriate for their current medical condition. It has been postulated that crunching on dry food helps to free some of the plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. (8) It is important to note that at home prevention should not substitute dental care provided by the local veterinary office. Instead, maximum benefits may be obtained when at home prevention is combined with veterinary services. Owners should be aware that it is never too late to become involved in the dental care of their feline friends. Becoming actively engaged in the oral health of our pets can not only increase their quality of life, but may actually increase their longevity and decrease the odds of developing other organ system diseases.

An 18-year-old forward of Lech Poznań – Dawid Kownacki – will be out of the game four about four weeks as a result of the injury he sustained during the match against Italian Fiorentina in the European League when he scored a goal and set the score result – 1:0.
The young Polish national team player sustained the injury on Thursday evening, and on Friday underwent two examinations in Rehasport Clinic. The second one done with the 3T magnetic resonance resulted in the diagnosis – player missing trainings for about four weeks. In the first period his leg will remain in the special orthosis, plus he can expect intensive work with physiotherapists – says a member of Lech Poznań medical staff, doctor Andrzej Pyda from Rehasport Clinic.
The young player will surely miss the second-leg match against ACF Fiorentina, as well as a few league matches and the Polish Cup match against Zagłębie Lubin.

Yes, Eurovision came and went, but how did Spain get any points with a song that relied more on hairstyles than music!?
The Russians did well, but I think the song was alright, but was definitely improved by the Olympic ice skater…
Not entirely sure, but does that mean that the visual aspects of a song make it sound better? You can find some clips around the webscape if you want to see what I'm talking about.
Not that I'm one to knock the power of images with music, it's just that was meant to be a song competition!
Just about everyone recognises the Rolling Stones 'tounge and lips' image, possibly because Mick Jagger has a similar look…
By comparison, The Beatles image was limited to spelling – plus some amazing photos.
I think the idea of the Eurovision competition is in danger of being a talent show with a predictable result. Two years ago Finland supplied a 'Monster Metal Rock Band' who wore costumes all the time and blasted away the 'tinkly-bonk' electro-Europop of most of the entries with their 'lighter' than normal' rock sound. This seems to have resulted in a landslide win, plus a number of heavier rock groups trying to repeat their success.
Out of the countries that never learned Russian, there were very few entries that were memorable:
- Britain – the UK had a funky dance number
- Greece 'Kalomira' had a Christina/Britney style pop tune 'Secret Combination' with some middle eastern sounds
- Germany suffered the fate of having poor sound on the night
- Iceland with a dance/ballad/duet – upbeat and pure pop!
- Denmark, well they entered with something that would fit a musical
- Sweden had a good chance with 'Hero', though it might have the wrong title
- France had the honour of the most beards, with a song that was memorable and even sounds a little like Pulp
- Turkey had a good rock number from a rock band with 'Deli' ('Insane') which they even played acousticaly – unplugged in the dressing room
- Israel – I always wonder how this country 'fits' in Europe – and their first entry was Dana International!
- Ireland – Eire – What a dire turkey, to ruin a bad song, then again you don't want to win again!
- Armenia and Qele Qele is really catchy from Sirusho
- Croatia – had the most senior contestant, who showed that you can still have manners
- Georgia – sung a ballad, which was striving to be more than it was
- Lativia, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, dear Latvia, the 'Pirates' song would make Jack Sparrow turn in his grave
- Bulgaria (who weren't in the final) had a very modern dance track!
- Ukraine had Shady Lady sung by Ani Lorak with an amazingly strong voice and a subtle 'bip-bip' which the choreographer really, really made come alive in the performance

It's the Black Stingray Skin canopy with neon ( UV-reactive) confetti! Awesome in black light.
This Razor skin is a stylized canopy based off the Stingray Skin with some new features that are both functional and wicked awesome looking. First off it has the lowest profile of any top center mounted camera canopy. The two prime ridges that sweep back to the tail add rigidity and minimize canopy scratch damage as it limits it to the ridge tips, and the sleek edges pushing out of the sides...well they just look really cool...OK!
These canopies are available in lots of colors, hyper shift, and hydro patterns, and are compatible with the 10, 20, and 30 degrees FX900TW camera mount, as well as the FX950TW camera, mount 10°, 20°, and 30°
These canopies were designed to be compatible with the FX950TW cameras
!IMPORTANT! These canopies must be modified or used with a bit of glue to fit other frames, like the black frames. The holes are made to fit perfectly with the stock frames. ALSO If your Tiny Whoop is equipped with a modded FX798T camera, this canopy will not fit as both the camera board and VTX are to wide to fit within the skin, in which case the mullet mod is the canopy for you.
Designed by our very own Tiny Whoop Musician, Ben Shepard.
*Tiny Whoop not included!

Roadtripping is the best way to see a country, especially one as vast as Australia. Australia can be as rugged and isolated as it gets. Many people warn you – "take lots of water…extra food…there won't be many servo's (petrol/gas stations) so take a jerry can" and there's always the classic "why don't you just fly?" With only a few major roadways to get to few major destinations, 200 kilometers can stretch between one town and the next, and that distance of nothingness is really something to experience. Timescales change. It'll easily take you three hours to get to the next place. I'm sure not many people in the world can imagine that kind of isolation and distance of open land. It's beautiful that places like that still exist. Large open skies, starry nights, crystal oceans.
I bought a small cheap car for $400 and didn't look back on the idea of a road trip. Australia is a place you don't get to wander off to too frequently if you're from America. I like to go to places less traveled, so the east coast wasn't on my mind. I wanted to travel from where I was living on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria to Perth. I wanted to take the good ole' Nulla (the Nullabor). My little Nissan Pulsar hatchback would journey over 5000 kms. No dramas aye! Well now, looking back, with a little bit more money I would have definitely traveled with something a little bit bigger and reliable. The car made it! With few problems, my travel partner and I survived to tell the tale! It was a beautiful rugged journey on many washboard roads. We learned quite a lot about ourselves, the country, and the road – and what we would do for next time…because there is always a next time with Australia because it's so bloody beautiful.
We wanted to share what we learned across 5000 kms on the bottom oz for anyone thinking to do the same.
Have a 4×4 for South Australia. There are many corrugated/washboard roads which means that in a small car you'll have to drive less than 20 km/hr for an hour to your wikicamp bumbfuck nowhere free campsite – which can be dangerous if the car were to break down. No one could drive down that way for a while and you'll have no phone reception (get Telstra phone plan for an extra buck since it has the greatest coverage…we didn't and we managed). A 4×4 will fly past you on those corrugated roads, blasting dust all over you. With a 4×4 you'll be able to go to all the sweet places a small car will not allow you to go to. This is completely necessary for South Australia in the national parks. You'll miss out on so much without one.
The nulla might seem long but distances we covered in South Australia could be just as long with worse roads and not a lot of people on them. At least on the nulla, we saw heaps of cars as it's the only way between the two states (SA and WA).
Use wikicamps but if you don't have a 4×4 be aware that some of the free camps are in bumbfuck nowhere (so beautiful! Right next to the ocean, in deserts) but mostly they can take an hour to get to on a washboard road.
- Cooker – we used a $20 cooker from Bunnings which is nice for maybe a night, but any breath of wind is going to blow the flame out. It can also cook one thing at a time, so perhaps a dual cooker is a better option – which can be found for $80 (definitely worth it!). The gas bottles failed 1 out of 4 times, which was a waste of money.
- Rope
- Canned food – when you cross borders you cannot bring fresh veg
- large 10 L water container with tap
- extra car parts, coolant & oil (if you have an older car)
- head torch
- bucket – for wet stuff, like wetsuits and bathers and towels
Having a tent is also probably not the best way to go. I'd recommend having a bed in the car or a tent on top of the vehicle because lots of the campgrounds in the national parks are hard ground (so pegs can't go in the ground) so they're most suitable for RVs.We had to use rocks to weigh the tent down when we couldn't peg it – which was often – and also used spare rope to tie it up. It often blows a gale on the bottom of Australia. Having a rain cover blowing in the wind is one of the worst nights sleep. On those warm 40C days we could sleep with the cover off but mostly that wasn't an option due to intense dew through the night. I would opt out of a tent for the next road trip for sure.
On the Nulla – camp at the rest stops, refuel frequently. Oil up often. Make sure you have oil, coolant, sparies (belts, tire).. just go to the designated photo stops on the bight. You might realize you're close to the edge and wanna wander but there's a lot of paved roads for photo stops.
It's up to you how long you want to do it. We've met people that do it in a day or even eight days; we did it in two stints. Choose your starting point and how far you want to make it. It's definitely a whole lot of no stops so it's just a – 'let's get over this quick' kind of thing. So the first day we nearly drove 7 hours, and the second close to 10.
If you want to see the head of the bight – you have to get there before 4. It closes. Thank god we got there before but we only had 10 minutes to see it as it takes 20 minutes to drive to the head from the road, and 20 back.
The Nullarbor is the longest road of nothingness… but it is beautiful. Not arid at all. It is lush scrubland. It's big… and driving it teaches you that it is big and all is relative. Time crawls and goes fast. Driving through different time zones and borders and watching the sun rise and fall.
Don't count on RACV for road side assistance as the closest serviceman might be 200kms away. People driving by will be of the most assistance which is why it's important to have sparies. If you think you're having car trouble stop at a mechanic and don't wait for the next one as you might not see another for 200kms.
Let me begin with the fact that we did over 5000kms in three weeks. That's hectic. For any of ya'll that can't picture the distance from Melbs to Perth and you know America, it's basically Tennessee to Cali. That's a big freaking distance to do in three weeks, and to enjoy it and not just be on the road all day erryday.
Along the Great Ocean Road we were stopping every hour or so, going on walks and finding magical waterfalls and grottos. Amazing places everywhere that just make you want to stop for a while. Well, we quickly realized we didn't really have that option to lollygag. Some days we had to be in the car for 8 hours! Just to get to the next desto (destination).
I'm the kind of person that wants to enjoy, chill, give a place the respect it deserves. Everywhere on the coastline of Australia is that kind of beautiful so we learned to pick the handful of places you definitely want to go and allow time. Allow two days or even a full day at those top places for you.
For us, those top places were:
- Lorne
- Cape Bridgewater
- Robe
- Rapid Bay
- Port Noarlunga
- Greenly Beach
- Baird Bay
- Elliston
- Streaky Bay
- Cape Le Grande National Park (Esperance)
- Albany – Two Peoples Bay was spectacular
- Denmark – visit Boston Brewing Co.
- Margaret River
- Freo (Fremantle)
- The Great Ocean Road of course
- If you stop through Mount Gambier and want to see a cool sinkhole – check out Caroline's sinkhole. It is the real authentic natural experience, wheras the the more popular sinkhole was too touristic.
- Cape Otways – koalas
- Redwood Forest
- Choose Coffin Bay National Park over Lincoln National Park — sick sand dunes
There is a lot of towns that are barely a town – no hairdresser or even a bakery – so think about where the big towns are and shop there wisely. Prices will be much cheaper as well.
On the road trip you'll be graced with all the iconic Australian animals. Koalas, Roos, emus, wombats, echidna. And of course because of these things be sure not to drive at night. The marine life will definitely say hello as well – dolphins, seals, if you're at the right time of year- whales.
Please do not feed any of these animals. Keep them wild. If you feed them, they will become pests and they will have to be put down. We have seen people feed roos and even big sting rays just so they can take a photo with the wildlife. We've almost had a roo attack us over our brekkie which is not fun. They can feed themselves.
This film came out after we finished our road trip and it shows some of the places we drove through in SA. It highlights some of the conservation going on in Australia, specifically on the Bight, to keep these places in its natural and rugged state. Let us all rally together to preserve our world. "We don't have long to make some serious change…"

Star Wars Kylo Ren Cosplay – Interview with Rylo Ren at Otakon Vegas!
Kylo is having a rough time, nah, not about the whole dad thing, sure, it was a little unnecessary but what is the Dark Side if not about drama?
No, he's frustrated because after being told to "take a break", "relax a little", he travelled to Otakon Vegas on a little planet without even spacefaring ability.
Everything was going great at first…until the first mom asked for a pic with a Dementor from Harry Potter… By the time the grandparents started raving at how great his deatheater costume was, he had had it and the lightsaber came out!
Enjoy this interview with Rylo Ren as Kylo Ren with Squirrel Girl LV at Otakon Vegas. 🙂

Honoring our Clients by Being Flexible and Adaptable
Part 1 of a 5 Part Series - CapTech's Culture
CapTech is privileged to serve many different Clients. We provide service to 9 different industries in 18 states across every corner of the United States. As a trusted advisor we provide our Clients with strategic and tactical solutions. In the Management Consulting and Transformation, it is also critically important that we are aware of how we provide services. Practically speaking, if we do not honor our Client's culture and how we deliver service, our Client will never fully experience the solutions we provide. As we create software, presentations, and project plans we must manage how well our teams can fit into our Client's culture.
Over the next few blogs, different aspects of learning Client cultures will be discussed. The goal is to discretely define something that can be a bit ambiguous so that CapTechers can succeed culturally in their specific role and with our Clients. Let's discuss what this really means discussing how do to decipher a Client's culture, cultural dimensions and measures, honoring our Client's culture, and reinforcing CapTech's culture. First, let's talk specifically about CapTech's culture and the role flexibility plays in our culture.
CapTech's Culture
It is said that charity begins at home. So we start by making sure CapTechers have the best culture supporting them. When describing a traditional view of culture, Gertsen (2013) says "it is possible to discover the core (the basic values and assumptions) of any culture by surveying and systematizing the behavior and stated attitudes of individual members" (p. 21). At CapTech, our culture relies on the following core values: Trusted Advisor, Flexibility, Servant Leadership, Intellectual Curiosity, and Enthusiasm. Whether we are serving our Clients or each other, these core values guide us.
We realize that success depends on CapTechers working together. To succeeding together, we must be flexible. That means that we cannot hold anything keenly sacred except for our core values themselves.

No capital required: the energy savings performance contract option
The solution was to fund the upgrades through an energy savings performance contract (ESPC). Under the contract, the city's strategic and technical partner, Johnson Controls, guaranteed that a series of improvements would generate enough energy and operational savings to pay for the project over time.
"It was a big surprise," said Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Director Allen Mounts. "It's sort of like' is this for real? Does this really work?"
Skepticism turned to belief as the details of the project and its guarantees became clear.
The comprehensive plan
The initiatives carry a combined price tag of $39 million, a cost offset by guaranteed energy and operational savings of $3.1 million a year—for a total payback of just 20 years.
As a result of the improvements, Evansville, the third largest city in Indiana, is now well positioned for future growth - and future gains. Discussions are already underway to capture even greater savings at the wastewater treatment plant.
The City of Beaufort, SC is partnering with Johnson Controls to complete a city-wide performance infrastructure and conservation project that's expected to generate $5.4 million in savings over 15 years, while reducing the city's overall carbon footprint, energy usage and water consumption.
For much of the last decade, city leaders in Martinsville, VA, had been preparing themselves for a significant but inevitable capital expense: Replacing the city's nearly 7,000 water meters.

To achieve reliable results when simulating the acoustics of the internal combustion engine (IC-engine) exhaust system and its components, the source characteristics of the engine must be known. In the low frequency range only plane waves propagate and then one-port source data can be determined using, for example, the acoustic multiload method. For the medium speed IC-engines used in power plants and ships, the exhaust duct noise often needs to be analyzed up to 10 kHz, i.e., far beyond the plane wave range, and it is then more appropriate to use acoustic power to characterize the source. This power should ideally be measured under reflection-free conditions in the exhaust duct. The results from an earlier study showed that a suitable way to characterize the source for any frequency is to determine the in-duct sound power by extending the plane wave formulation with frequency band power weighting factors. The aim of this study is to apply this high frequency range method in situ to a real test engine. Another aim is to define, theoretically, how to combine the source data in the low frequency plane wave range with those in the high frequency nonplane wave range using a source sound power formulation.
The unwanted sound, noise, can lead to health problems, e.g. hearing loss and stress-related problems. A pre-knowledge of noise generation by machines is of great importance due to the ever-shorter product development cycles and stricter noise legislation. The noise from a machine radiates to the environment indirectly via the foundation structure and directly via the surrounding fluid. A fluid machine converts the energy from the fluid into mechanical energy or vice versa. Examples of the fluid machines are internal combustion engines (IC-engines), pumps, compressors, and fans. Predicting and controlling noise from a fluid machine requires a model of the noise sources themselves, i.e. acoustic source data. In the duct systems connected to the fluid machines, the acoustic source interacts strongly with the system boundaries, and the source characteristics must be described using in-duct methods.
Above a certain frequency, i.e. first non-plane wave mode cut-on frequency, the sound pressure varies over the duct cross-section and non-plane waves are introduced. For a number of applications, the plane wave range dominates and the non-plane waves can be neglected. But for machines connected to large ducts, the non-plane wave range is also important. In the plane wave range, one-dimensional process simulation software can be used to predict, e.g. for IC-engines, the acoustic in-duct source characteristics. The high frequency phenomena with non-plane waves are so complicated, however, that it is practically impossible to simulate them accurately. Thus, in order to develop methods to estimate the sound produced, experimental studies are also essential.
This thesis investigates the acoustic in-duct source characterization of fluid machines with applications to exhaust noise from medium speed IC-engines. This corresponds to large engines used for power plants or on ships, for which the non-plane wave range also becomes important. The plane wave source characterization methods are extended into the higher frequency range with non-plane waves. In addition, methods to determine non-plane wave range damping for typical elements in exhaust systems, e.g. after-treatment devices, are discussed.

Couple of months back we noticed that the Museum of the American Railroad hadn't pulled out of Fair Park as planned -- or as stipulated by its agreement with the city of Dallas following the resolution of the lawsuit brought by the city in January 2010. Still not sure when the trains roll out -- calls are out -- but Justin was in Fair Park doing another shoot when he espied workers dismantling and loading up ol' Tower 19 -- a circa-1903 Santa Fe structure -- which, per the museum's website, has been taking place for the last couple of days. Says the museum:
The top floor will be lowered to the ground and placed on bogies (wheels). Weighing nearly 47,000 lbs., it contains the 105-lever "pistol grip" interlocking machine manufactured by General Railway Signal Company in 1952. The two floors are expected to begin the trip to Frisco Thursday evening (February 23).

The adidas Ultra Boost is going high fashion.
Composed of two colorways, the Kris Van Assche x adidas Ultra Boost Collective makeups feature playful argyle prints throughout the Primeknit uppers. Elsewhere, the sneaker is left relatively untouched, with matching outsoles being the only notable change from the standard pairs.
Beginning with Stella McCartney's design in February, the adidas Ultra Boost Collective has added a number of stylish twists to the popular running sneaker. McCartney's effort was followed by the black and white colorways designed by James Carnes and Dirk Schönberger, and now the runner is getting this stylish remix from Van Assche.
Last month, Van Assche announced that he would be ending his eponymous label to concentrate his efforts on his role as the creative director at Dior Homme. With that in mind, this collaboration with adidas could end up being one of the last products to release with his name attached to it.
Look for both of these colorways to drop on June 25 at select adidas retailers including Sneakersnstuff.

Creative Culture
It's been 40 years since a bedraggled Brad and Janet stumbled in from the rain and landed in the clutches of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a "Sweet Transvestite" from Transsexual, Transylvania. Thus began a four-decade run of midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show that completely dissolved the fourth wall as the audience jumped right into "The Time Warp" with Magenta, Riff Raff and the gang.
To celebrate this milestone, the Prytania Theatre is hosting 10pm and midnight screenings on the actual date of the original release – tonight, August 15, 1975. The Well-Hung Speakers, the Prytania's in-house Rocky Horror troupe (the name derives directly from the movie), will whip the crowd into a garter-belted frenzy of audience participation.
"We're expecting a big crowd, so I'm sure we'll have plenty of virgins," says WHS director Sophie Symonds, who's rubbing her hands in glee at the thought of deflowering innocents who, like Brad and Janet, have no idea what to expect.
Symonds won't spoil the fun by revealing exactly what the troupe has planned for the big anniversary bash. But birthday cakes, costume contests, and dance parties are all in the mix for the special screenings, which celebrate the birth of a film released long before any members of the Well-Hung Speakers were born.
"Tulane students started the group, which grew into Loyola and UNO and eventually the entire city," says Symonds, who first joined the troupe as a cast member two and a half years ago. "We have a revolving door of actors, because doing Rocky Horror is on a lot of people's bucket lists."
Seasoned Rocky Horror fans should come dressed to kill as their favorite characters. As a fan of the spectral Riff Raff, Symonds favors a death-warmed-over undertaker look.
Would-be Magentas should bust out their sexiest French maid attire, while those who aspire to tap dance with Columbia need to spring for a gold top hat. And since this is New Orleans, expect to see a lot of Tim Curry wannabes strutting their stuff in Frank's fishnets, garter belt and black bustier.
While Rocky Horror troupes in other cities will also be paying homage to the 40th anniversary, there is no nationally coordinated cross-country celebration. "Casts tend to be the brainchild of groups of friends," says Symonds, "so we're not really in contact with one another. It's all very grassroots."
With its flamboyant costumes, outlandish characters and Carnival-style satire, Rocky Horror is a perfect match for New Orleans, which gets a fond shoutout from the troupe during the ritual known as the "Rocky Horror roll call."
"It's right after "Touch Me," when we say the names of all the characters," says Symonds. "After we go through the whole list, we all go back to the lobby door and run through the theater shouting 'Stella!!!'"
Eat your heart out, Marlon Brando.
Rocky Horror Picture Show screens at 10pm and midnight, Saturday, August 15 at the Prytania Theatre, 5339 Prytania St._

The Internet of Things (IoT) – digitizing the physical world – has received enormous attention. Simply put IoT are billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet and collecting and sharing data. These include anything from a pill to and aeroplane – cell-phones, wrist watches, washing machines, street lamps, coffee machines, ATM machines, components any machine. Ref-ZDNET
Connecting devices to the internet adds another level of intelligence to the otherwise dumb devices enabling these to communicate with each-other without an human being involved merging the digital and physical worlds.
Even now in 2018, majority of the people may have not heard IoT that Kevin Ashton coined in 1999. However the majority of the people even in Sri Lanka maybe using an IoT from 5-10 year back – the ATM machine which came into public use between 1970-1980. By 2008 there were more objects connected to the internet than human beings and by 2017 there were 4.9 billion IoT (Ref-17 Things)

Will we all be killed
By the common cold?
Will plagues once more
Worldwide take hold?
Have overused drugs
Condemned us all?
A pestilent beginning
To mankind's fall
Will societies cope
With swathes of the sick?
Will those who survive
Be the strong and the quick?
A brand new start
Or the end of mankind?
The death of a species
Or Homo Sapiens streamlined?
