I started my entrepreneurial journey at a young age, but that will be a whole different post.
You may or may not know that I run an offline business. It's a pressure washing company here in Central Florida. While I was cleaning this home, the owner and I were talking about the nextdoor neighbor. He was telling me that they were interested in my services.
During the conversation he said something that made my day. He told me that he told the neighbor that they could give me the keys to their house. Now, I do hear this a lot from my customers.
Why would someone tell their neighbor this?
What I'm going to share with you works in an offline as well as an online business. I sometimes feel that most people miss this step when they're trying to run a business, but today I'm going to share with you that secret.
What is the biggest issue people face every day?
Well, I'm just going to flat out tell you. PEOPLE DON'T TRUST ANYONE TODAY!
Why is that? Is it because people actually give people what they want? I'm afraid not. I want to share with you just a few key things that can help you build trust with your customers.
These are just a few key points that will help you begin to get trust with your customers.
1. Listen More, Speak Less
We've been given two ears and one mouth and we need to use them accordingly. Listen to what your customers are saying is vital to running a successful online business.
"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."
Stephen R. Covey
2. Be Customer Focused, Not Money Focused
There is a misconception that if we figure out how much money we want to make, we'll make it. Umm, wrong! Now don't get me wrong. We need to have goals of how much money we'd like to make each month, but how are you going to get it? Through having a customer based business. So wouldn't it benefit you to be thinking about the customers need and not how much you'll make? In the end, if you treat the customer right, they'll treat you right.
3. Provide Exceptional Customer Service
I see this every day how this is being used incorrectly. Businesses will tell you they have great customer service, but when you need something done, you get treated like crap. So many marketers can definitely use a crash course on customer service.
The whole point about customer service is to make sure your customers are still happy with their decision on buying your product. If they have an issue with the product, don't chew their head off because they have an issue. Don't make your customers feel stupid for sending in a request. You politely answer them with a positive response and you encourage them with the right answer.

4. Create A Product That's Built to Last
Come on, let's face it. There are so many products out there that are just not good, but people still buy them. Why? Because they think they're getting something new, but all they're getting is an old product slapped with a new logo on it. Don't let this be you.
Now, I'm not talking about creating a product and updating the software. However, I am talking about creating a product that's just been rebranded, but the mechanics are the same. That's not creating a new product.
Here are some products that are built to last: Global NPN, Thrive Themes, Thrive Cart, Click Canopy to name a few.
We must create products that are unique and adds different value to the marketplace rather than saturating the marketplace with stale products. Do your research. Ask potential buyers what they're interested in buying. They're the ones buying the products anyways. Why not give them what they want.
5. Make Sure The Customer is Satisfied From Start To Finish
This is one of the most simplest thing a business owner can do, yet they can mess it up as well. If someone has bought a great product, don't blow it with poor customer service. On the other hand, don't promote a crappy product and then try to hide it behind poor customer service. It won't work.
You must develop a business plan that has a product that exceptional as well as great customer service to back it up. Without both, your business may not be around for very long.
These are just a few tips that will help you build trust with your potential customers. If you forget any of these tips, feel free to bookmark this page and visit it often.

ebookers now offer rail travellers the opportunity to book tickets through their website, combining hotels, flights and car hire into one reservation.Visit ebookers
ebookers is acting as a pacesetter in the UK rail network, becoming the first third-party site offering rail tickets right across the UK rail network.
This is part of a major change in the way we can buy train tickets. The growth in sales of tickets is expected to accelerate with customers able to go to a range of online sales outlets rather than the current norm which is the rail operators' direct sites.
This means that ebookers can now package rail and hotel bookings in the same way that flight and hotel bookings are often made.
Customers can now book tickets right across the 21 UK rail operating companies, allowing journeys to and from more than 2,500 train stations.
In future the company plans to move into the European railway market and to integrate flight and rail bookings so that home to destination bookings with hotel accommodation will become possible.
For the moment though, the service is limited to the UK, where a daily 20,000 train services are run, with the potential to combine this with a stay at one of the several thousand UK hotels ebookers offer.

No.65 May 2015
A personal note from
am delighted to be back in brisk wonderful Melbourne after a
very successful Pharmaceutical Society of Australia 40th
Offshore Refresher Conference in Berlin and Paris with 300
The pre-conference was in Poland with precious time in Warsaw
which was once called the "Paris of the North". It was almost
completely destroyed in World War II and then survived the
bitter stranglehold of the Soviet occupation and the upheaval
of capitalism as we know it today. Warsaw continues to rebuild
and re-invent itself, demonstrating balance of preservation and
resilient renewal. The city has spent millions to maintain its
places of interest along the Chopin Route and there are
pedestrian benches all around the city that play music when
touched. A wonderful tribute to Chopin! Little remains of
the Jewish Ghetto but the Warsaw Rising Museum is a must on any
We took a train to Krakow and it is definitely my favourite
Polish city. The 1000 year old former capitol escaped serious
damage in the war and the Old Town and Kazimierz districts
are on the UNESCO heritage list. I visited Auschwitz and
Birkenau and was privileged to have a guide who had both
knowledge and sensitivity.
Then on to buzzing Berlin, a city for the young and young at
heart. Five days was just not enough. My next stop was Paris
- albeit a brief stop of just two days. I managed to see a
number of the tourist spots - had a dinner on a river boat
on the Seine under the Eiffel Tower as we could not cruise due
to floods in Paris - and had a quick shopping trip to Rue
St Honre where I bought a handbag to commemorate my revisit of
the fashion capitol of Europe.
I have listed below some of the forthcoming small group
programmes we have over the next eighteen months so you can
plan well ahead.

Effective 1 June 2015, the South African
government will introduce strict new regulations regarding the
travel of minors (children aged under 18 years) to and from
South Africa. This applies to all nationalities and is being
implemented to counter child abduction and human trafficking.
In addition to producing a valid travel document (passport) and
full birth certificate, children travelling with only one
parent or unaccompanied will also be required to produce a
legal document signed by any non-travelling parents, giving
approval for the child's travel. Otherwise, where applicable,
they must produce a death certificate of a parent registered on
the birth certificate of the child, or a court order granting
sole custody. This legal document can be a Statutory
Declaration or an Affidavit and must contain full names and
passport details of both parents registered on the birth
certificate and child(ren), with contact details for any non-travelling
parent. The document should also specify the travel
destinations of the parent and child(ren). These legal
documents or certified copies of these documents cannot be more
than 3 months old. If there is only one parent registered on
the birth certificate, that person has sole responsibility.
Non-compliance from 1 June 2015 will result in passengers being
denied boarding of flights or being turned back at the border.

The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and
asked why the dog was allowed on the plane.
The second man explained that he was from the Police Drugs
Enforcement Agency and that the dog was a 'sniffing dog'.
'His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is. I'll show you
once we get airborne, when I put him to work.'
The plane took off, and once it has levelled out, the Policeman
said, 'Watch this.'
He told Sniffer to 'search'. Sniffer jumped down, walked along
the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman
for several seconds.
Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the
policeman's arm.
The Policeman said, 'Good boy', and he turned to the man and
said, 'That woman is in possession of marijuana, I'm making
a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend
her when we land.
Gee, that's pretty good,' replied the first man.
Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the aisles.
The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few
seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he placed two paws
on the agent's arm.
The Policeman said, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so again,
I'm making a note of his seat number for the police.'
'I like it!' said his seat mate.
The Policeman then told Sniffer to 'search' . Sniffer walked up
and down the aisles for a little while,
sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent,
jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to poop on the seat.
The first man was really disgusted by this behaviour and
couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would
behave like that. So he asked the Policeman, 'What's going on?'
The Policeman nervously replied, 'He's just found a bomb.'

How to Find More Time In Your Work Day
Explore this Article Organizing Your Day Building Good Habits Getting Ready after Work Ask a Question Related Articles
wikiHow's Content Management Team carefully monitors the work from our editorial staff to ensure that each article meets our high quality standards. Learn more...
It can be hard to accomplish everything that you need to do at work every single day. Between interruptions, unproductive meetings, and socializing with coworkers, there are a lot of things that can take you out of a productive space throughout your day. However, with some careful preparation, clever organizing, and thoughtful scheduling, there are a lot of things you can do to make sure that you don't waste time during your work.
Organizing Your Day
1Create a to-do list that prioritizes difficult tasks first. Most people are more productive in the morning than they are later in the day. This means that the optimal time to complete tasks is in the morning, when you have the most energy. Compose a daily to-do list at the beginning of each day, and try to put the hardest tasks first.[1]
- Completing the difficult tasks first will have the added benefit of making your day easier as it goes on.
- Make your to-do list for the next day the night before you need it. This will save you some time in the morning!
2Arrive to work a little early to ensure that you don't end up behind. It may sound simple, but showing up even 10-15 minutes early will give you some extra time to get settled and complete any pre-work rituals, like making coffee or organizing your desk. This will prevent you from falling behind and playing catch up all day.[2]
- Pack your lunch the night before so that you don't have to make it in the morning.
- Put your outfit for the next day aside when you get home. This will keep you from scrambling to find something to wear in the morning.
3Plan around periods in your day where you're likely to be interrupted. Organize your schedule in a way where you're the least likely to be interrupted during difficult or time-consuming tasks. It can take a long time to get back on task if you've been interrupted, and predicting these interruptions can help save the time that it takes to reacquaint yourself with what you were doing.[3]
- Pay attention to periods in your day where you tend to get called to help coworkers, have a lot of customers come in, or receive a lot of client calls or emails. Try to work around these periods of the day.
4Schedule your breaks and leisure time to avoid overdoing it. If you schedule your breaks and leisure time during the work day, then you'll be less inclined to extend them past the allotted time. Not only will you cut back on extended breaks, but you'll also ensure that you get a break during intense work periods since it's built into your schedule.[4]
Make your schedule public by posting it on your office door or cubicle wall. You can post it online as well if you mainly communicate with coworkers through email. This will not only keep you accountable to your schedule, but will have the added benefit of letting your coworkers know when you're unavailable.
5Create routines in your work day to keep your energy level consistent. Scheduling your coffee breaks, lunch time, and daily tasks for the same time every day will help you get into a productive pattern at work. Once your work tasks are ingrained into the flow of your day, it'll be easier to complete them without falling behind.[5]
- It's easier to replace a bad habit with a good routine than it is to simply break the habit.
Building Good Habits
1Ask a colleague to keep you accountable when you procrastinate. Changing bad habits at work can be hard, but it'll be a lot easier if you enlist a coworker that you're close with to help you. In order to avoid procrastination, encourage your partner to remind you of your responsibilities and keep you on task. Tell them to call you out when they see you being unproductive or wasting time. They may notice certain patterns or behaviors that you aren't even aware of.[6]
- Don't ask for help from a coworker that works in a different part of the building than you. If they aren't around you for most of the day, how are they going to help?
2Focus on one task at a time to avoid losing momentum. Even if you think of yourself as a diligent multitasker, the odds are high that you're going to be more productive throughout the course of the day if you generally complete one thing at a time. If you have a lot of work on your desk or work space, start storing it in drawers or cabinets so that you aren't tempted to move back and forth between tasks.[7]
- A clean desk is an excellent way to remove distractions. You can't be tempted to multitask if the other tasks aren't even there!
3Set limits on conversations with your colleagues. If you find yourself constantly socializing at the office, a good way of changing this habit is to announce how little time you have to talk at the beginning of a conversation. When a coworker approaches you, explain that you only have 5 minutes before you need to get back to something.
- Be honest. Say, "I don't want to chat for too long because I'll fall behind in my work." People will respect your openness and desire to stay focused.
4Adjust to changes in small increments over time. If you try to change everything about the way you work all at once, it's probably not going to stick. Focus on one element of your work day and start there. Start by changing your habits surrounding one thing, and improve slowly over time before trying to make another new habit stick.[8]
A good place to start is to focus on your schedule. If you can get used to following a schedule consistently, any other change you want to make in the future can always go into your calendar!
5Exercise during your work day in order to stay healthy and focused. Physical exercise will give your brain a break and refresh your body. Even if it's something small, like doing a few push-ups or jumping jacks, try to find a way to work some physical activity into your work day. Mid to late-afternoon is a good time for a little exercise, since it'll help carry you through to the end of your day.[9]
- Exercise is also good for you! It'll help you lose weight, get better sleep at night, and keep you in a positive mood throughout the day.
6Avoid little time wasters like group chats or social media. Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram will absolutely destroy your attention span at work if you check them consistently. Too much time on your phone will keep you from completing time-intensive tasks. Keep your phone in your pocket at work and set limits on how much time you spend looking at screens during your breaks.[10]
- If you're using a computer all day, consider blocking social media websites so that you can't even view them.
7Be assertive and say "no" when you're asked to do too much. Having a ton of extra work piled on your desk can kill your schedule, eat through your day, and overwhelm you. Practice saying "no" when asked to do additional work that you simply don't have time for.[11]
- Be polite. You can calmly explain that you've already got a lot of work ahead of you.
Getting Ready after Work
1Get at least 8 hours of sleep before you have to get up for work. If you don't get enough sleep, you'll be groggy, tired, and prone to taking small breaks throughout your work day. On the other hand, you'll be performing at the top of your game with enough rest. Set a strict bed time for yourself and stick to it.[12]
Avoid looking at screens for 1 hour before you plan on going to sleep. Computer and cell phone screens trick the brain into thinking that it's still daytime and you'll have trouble falling asleep.
2Eat healthy before and after work to improve your work performance. A healthy breakfast and nutritious dinner will keep your energy levels up and make it easier to focus at work. Eat balanced meals with proteins and vegetables, and avoid fast food.[13]
- Limiting your alcohol consumption is a phenomenal way to make sure that you wake up alert and ready for work.
3Take notes after each work day to spot troubling patterns. If you can't seem to figure out how you're losing so much time throughout your day, take a minute at the end of your day and jot down everything that you did in a journal. You may notice certain patterns that you weren't aware of just by tracking everything that you do in a single day.[14]
- Reflecting at the end of the day is also a good way to prepare emotionally for the next day. It also gives you an added sense of completeness at the end of the day, which will bring you some peace before it's time to sleep.
4Complete smaller tasks during your commute whenever possible. Your commute provides you with an opportunity to get some work done if you take a train, bus, taxi, or rideshare service to work. Don't waste time on your trips to work, and try to come up with simple, short tasks that need to get done and complete them while you travel.[15]
Telecommuting is a good way to save time as well. If possible, try to work from home once or twice a week. This will give you the added benefit of keeping you relaxed throughout the day as well, since you'll working from your personal space.
5Take care of emails outside of normal scheduled hours. Getting through a lot of work emails will limit the amount of time that you waste responding and sorting your inbox during the day. Turn off audible and visual mail alerts unless they're necessary for your job. Check your email at regularly scheduled times during the day to handle new messages, instead of dealing with each message as soon as it trickles in.
- Deal with and respond to emails immediately. If it sits around in your inbox for too long, you'll risk having to spend a large chunk of time responding to a bunch of emails all at once.
- Unsubscribe from newsletters and other communications that are not necessary for your work.

The Tubbs fire was the most destructive wildfire in California history burning major areas of Northern California, including Napa, Sonoma and Lake counties. Since October 2017, grape growers and winemakers alike have been nervous to discover how the fire has affected crops. Vintners have begun to see some telling marks along the vines. Some appear completely destroyed, colored black and crisp to the touch, but it won't be until budding season that growers will know for certain how much damage the Tubbs fire caused.
In about mid-march, when the buds start emerging, vintners then will be able to determine if the shoots are growing normally, or if the vines are so spoiled they will have to be replanted. Even so, the vine can produce grapes- but their quality may have deteriorated. Growers will have to monitor the quantity and quality of the fruit to ensure yields throughout the vineyard are consistent.
Luckily, only a small amount of vines were harmed by the fire. A recent survey by Sonoma State University's Wine Business Institute found that 99.8 percent of the region's vineyards were not affected by the October fires. But any loss can add up quickly in sales. Preliminary figures for the size and value of the 2017 crop are yet to be released.

Judgement Day
Agamben, Giorgio. 'Judgement Day' Profanations translated by Jeff Fort (New York: Zone Books, 2010) 23-27
What quality fascinates and entrances me in the photographs I love? I believe it is this: for me, photography in some way captures the Last Judgement; it represents the world as it appears on the last day. the Day of Wrath.
[Agamben discusses the daguerreotype Boulevard du Temple the first photograph with a human figure.]
I believe there is a secret relationship between gesture and photography. The power of the gesture to summon and sum up entire orders of angelic powers resides in the photographic lens and has its locus, its opportune moment, in photography.
But there is another aspect of the photographs I love that I am compelled to mention. It has to do with a certain exigency: the subject shown in the photo demands something from us. The concept of exigency is particularly important and must not be confused with factual necessity. Even if the person photographed is completely forgotten today, even if his or her name has been erased forever from human memory – or, indeed, precisely because of this – that person and that face demand their name; they demand not to be forgotten.
Benjamin must have had something like this in mind when, referring to the photographs of David Octavius Hill, he wrote that the image of the fishwife gives rise to an exigency, a demand for the name of that woman who was once alive.
It is partly because they could not bear this mute apostrophe that the viewers of the first daguerreotypes had to turn away – they felt they were being watched by the people portrayed.
Dondero once expressed reservations about two photographers he admired; Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastiao Sagado. In the first he saw an excess of aesthetic perfection. He opposed both of them with his own conception of the human face as a story to be told or a geography to be explored.
I feel the same way: the photographic exigency that interpellates us has nothing aesthetic about it. It is, rather, a demand for attention.
The photograph is always more than an image: it is the site of a gap, a sublime breach between the sensible and the intelligible, between copy and reality, between a memory and a hope.
[To Proust] On the back of the photograph, Auber wrote, by way of dedication (and in English): Look at my face: my name is Might Have Been; I am also called No More, Too Late, Farewell. A pretentious dedication, certainly, but it perfectly expresses the exigency that animates every photograph and grasps the real that is always in the process of being lost, in order to render it possible once again.
Photography demands that we remember all this, and photographs testify to all those lost names, like a Book of Life that the new angel of the apocalypse – the angel of photography – holds in his hands at the end of all days, that is, every day.

All federal programs are susceptible to making improper payments. They can result from any number of factors, ranging from simple errors by the agency or the recipient, to negligence or gross incompetence by agencies, to criminal fraud amounting to theft of the funds taxpayers worked hard to earn and paid into the federal Treasury under penalty of law.
As you can imagine, this is not a new phenomenon. But it wasn't until 2002 that Congress began requiring federal agencies to identify vulnerable programs and report to Congress an estimate of the improper payments they had made under them.
Before the act went into effect, agencies reported an estimated $20 billion in improper payments for fiscal year 2001. For fiscal year 2004, the first year the act was in effect, the number rose to $45 billion but was acknowledged to be incomplete, as it did not include all risk-susceptible programs.
Government agencies estimate they made about $141 billion in improper payments for 2017. Since reporting began in 2003, the estimated total is $1.4 trillion.
But these numbers don't tell the whole story. It is up to each agency to determine on which programs it reports, and the amounts it estimates to have been improperly paid. Programs the agency doesn't consider to be particularly vulnerable or to have an especially high rate or amount of improper payments are not included in the numbers it reports.
One of these omitted programs is the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) program for which the IRS is responsible. Notwithstanding the urging of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) to do so, IRS does not classify the ACTC program as one requiring it to estimate and report improper payments.
For fiscal year 2017, the IRS improperly handed out $7.4 billion of ACTC, more than 23 percent of the total amount it paid out for this program. During this period, it also improperly handed out $16.2 billion in earned income tax credit (EITC), nearly 24 percent of the total it paid.
For years, the IRS has been asking Congress for authority to determine eligibility for these programs before paying out the credits claimed. And for years, Congress has declined to provide it. And once paid, with very few exceptions, those dollars are gone. They might as well be feathers in the wind.
The cost of President Trump's proposed border wall has been estimated to fall between $21 billion and $24 billion. People who think we can't afford that should consider that IRS not making improper payments on just these two programs — ACTC or EITC — for just one year would cover it.
IRS is hardly the only federal agency making improper payments. For 2017, Health and Human Services (HHS) made $90 billion in improper payments. For a peek at the relative size of this amount, consider that the $854 billion spending bill Senate passed in August included a $2.3 billion funding increase for HHS.
That's right, an agency that admits to having made at least $90 billion in improper payments last year gets a $2.3 billion increase in funding this year.
Lawmakers congratulate themselves when they reduce the tax rolls, i.e., relieve people of the obligation to pay taxes. The consequence of continuing to shrink the pool of people paying taxes, however, is to also shrink the portion of the population that cares that government takes an ever-increasing share of earnings and can't be bothered to be a good steward of those funds.
Secure the southern border, President Trump. Americans are already paying more than enough in taxes to cover the cost.
Eileen J. O'Connor was assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Tax Division for six years during the administration of President George W. Bush and a member of then-President-elect Trump's Treasury Department Transition Team.

NAIROBI, Kenya- Insect scientists and stakeholders in Africa, wrapped up their two-day meeting in Nairobi on Friday, by resolving to step up networking, to enhance the fight against ravaging Fall Armyworm (FAW) in the region.
The scientists, who attended a high level partnership meeting, on controlling FAW in the region, committed to a coordinated approach towards the fight against the pest, that has so far affected maize farms in 38 countries. "We intend to look at what all countries are doing, copy what is relevant rather than starting fresh and share available practices," the scientists said, in a joint statement released in Nairobi.
The scientists cautioned that maize crop is likely to be wiped off, if swift action is not taken by regional governments, since maize is a staple food crop in the whole region. The scientists noted that they have joined forces against FAW, which is an endemic pest that requires an integrated approach as opposed to individual country's approach.
The scientists tasked International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre with a FAW resistant maize variety, to save the region from unnecessary imports of maize. They, however, cautioned against the use of pesticides, adding, the extensive purchase and distribution of pesticides by many African countries, in their response to this menace, has cost them millions of dollars. They stressed that some of these pesticides often turned out to be highly toxic.
"Such an ad hoc emergency response is not only unsustainable in the long-run but is bound to be damaging to human health, biodiversity and environment," the scientists said.
Abera Haile, entomology specialist with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, asked the regional countries to scale up FAW control activities, to ensure that countries feed populations by eradicating the growing FAW problem. He called for the empowerment of farming communities so that they could report cases of the pest in time for action. "I believe that we can make a difference through a thorough and planned coordination at both country and regional level," he added.
The meeting was attended by scientists from countries including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and South Sudan.

text: A glass sphere, with a refractive index of 2.0 at the surface (a miniature sphere retroreflector, with diameter in the range of 1 to 5 mm) has a number of unique properties that make it attractive for many remote sensing applications, including radiation detection in support of the DOE¿s nonproliferation responsibilities. For example, these spheres can be deployed without concern of precise placement, because the spherical geometry provides an omni-directional return. Also, they easily can be deployed in large numbers, yet remain indistinguishable from the background environment. The DOE is seeking fabrication methods for Gradient Index (GRIN) glass spheres, 1 to 5 mm diameter, and with a potential minimum refractive index gradient of 0.2. One relatively inexpensive method of gradually increasing the refractive index of mm-scale glass spheres is to roll them into ceramic powders of selected properties, and then consolidate the agglomerate by thermal treatment. This project will use this technology to produce nearly defect-free mm-scale glass spheres. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: In addition to the application to nuclear nonproliferation, the GRIN glass spheres should find use in applications that require microlenses with specific compositions.

The Ergonomic Entrepreneur
Have You Fallen Out of Love with Your Business?
When you launched your business you had passion, purpose and energy. But along the way something went wrong. To gain traction and revenue, you started working with some customers who weren't ideal, and took on business that was outside of your core focus. Now, your business no longer looks like the vision you had when you launched. You're tired, frustrated and wondering where things went wrong and what you can do to get your business back on track.
After more than 20 years (first a corporate marketing executive and then a small business marketing consultant) helping entrepreneurs create & launch their businesses, products and services, I realized that the number one factor that determines success or failure is how ergonomic they are – which means how closely they align their businesses with who they are and what they really want.
Why? Because when you connect who you are to your business & your marketing, you work in a way that is more ergonomic – you are passionate, energized, inspired, motivated and more likely to promote your business and move past challenges and set-backs. You have more energy to give because you are using your unique genius and working in line with your natural flow state.
On the other hand, when you create a business & marketing system based on what you think other people want, financial success alone, or how you think you "should" work, every day can seem like a meaningless struggle, you're less likely to market your business, and it's much easier to give up when the going gets rough.
Get Your Business Back on Track
by connecting who you are to what you do
The Ergonomic Entrepreneur is a unique eight session coaching program that focuses on connecting who you are with what you do in order to get your business back on track.
- Step 1: Rediscover Who You Are: In the first three sessions, we will dive deep into discovering who you are, how you prefer to work, and what success means to you.
- Step 2: Connect Who You Are to Your Business: Over the next three sessions, we will apply everything you have learned about yourself to evaluating and re-defining your business focus in terms of your ideal client, core difference, and programs/services.
- Step 3: Bring Your New Business to Life: In the final two sessions, we will harness the power of who you are and your unique story to bringing your brand to life through powerful messaging and harnessing the power of story.
At the end of the program, your business will be re-aligned with who you are and what you love to do. You will know exactly who you want to work with, what you want to do, and how to communicate with your ideal clients.
Best of all, you will love your business again, and wake up every morning with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.
Who Should Take this Program?
Passionate Entrepreneurs
Are you an entrepreneur with soul – a coach, consultant, small business owner, or other professional services entrepreneur with an established & successful practice in place, but feel that somehow your business has gone off track? If so, this program is likely for you. Here are some other key signs:
- You have some clients and are making money, but are frustrated, tired and feel like something's missing.
- You care about more than just financial success – you need to feel passionate and inspired, make a difference, and serve your ideal clients.
- You're working with clients you don't love, or providing services you don't enjoy.
- You are open-minded and enjoy working with coaches and consultants.
- You are interested in connecting who you are to your business.
Expected Results
From tired & frustrated to energized & inspired
The ultimate goal of this program is to take you from waking up every morning tired and frustrated because your business is not aligned with who you are – to waking up with energy and inspiration because you are working with the right clients and offering services you love.
By the end of Love Your Business Again, you will have clarity around the new core foundation of your business and be well-prepared to take the next step and launch your redefined business into the marketplace.
You will know:
- How your business went off track, what limiting beliefs may have gotten in your way, and how to make sure not to repeat your mistakes.
- Who you are, how you define success, and how this connects to your business and your life
- What makes you different, and why this is so important in order to attract your ideal clients
- Which core services, packages and programs you love to offer and are the best fit for both YOU and your ideal clients
- How to attract more clients by harnessing the power of story and being your authentic self

Chronic Health Problems
Do you have Diabetes? Asthma? Obesity? Hypertension? any chronic health problems?
More than half of Americans have at least one chronic health problem. Most of these diseases require patients to take an active role in their disease management to have adequate control. Many of them require ongoing medications, lifestyle changes and working with a physician periodically to make sure they are being treated well enough to avoid or minimize long-term consequences. Health problems like hypertension and diabetes require lab tests as well. All this can get expensive and people frequently don't follow up as often as they should because they are afraid they are going to get a large bill.
With Direct Primary Care all visits are included in the monthly membership, and most labs to monitor chronic health problems cost around $5 if you use our cash pricing. If you don't have insurance, we can help you fill out patient assistance forms if needed or help compare prices through GoodRx. We order in medications that we are able to dispense at reduced prices in order to help you save money.
Modern Medicine with Old-Fashioned Care

PASADENA (Jan. 31, 2018) – Sophomore guard Grace Peng (San Ramon, Calif. / California) got back to her scoring ways for Caltech against visiting Pomona-Pitzer Colleges in Wednesday's SCIAC women's basketball game.
Peng shot plus-50 percent from the field and paced the Beavers with 22 points for her first 20-point game in nearly a month. She also knocked down three three-pointers and helped her teammates with three assists and one block. While the sophomore's scoring did not vary greatly from one quarter to the next, her consistency was necessary for the Beavers to outscore the Sagehens, 14-10 in the third quarter, allowing the hosts to start the fourth quarter on an 8-2 run to take their first lead since the beginning of the game. Sophomore guard Samantha D'Costa (San Jose, Calif. / St. Francis) scored six of her team's eight points during the run and finished the game with 14 points, seven rebounds and three steals. Junior center Elizabeth Eiden (White Plains, N.Y. / Holy Child) kept the visitors on their toes with three blocks and also dumped in 10 points as the third Caltech player to reach double-figures.
The Beavers did end up winning the turnover battle by four turnovers and maintained a consistent paint presence with 26 points in the paint. Between the final two frames, Caltech's scoring run reached as high as 12-4 and provided the home team with enough offense to carry a lead as late into the fourth quarter as the final six and-a-half minutes.
Head Coach Bridgette Reyes and the Beavers will look to rebound against the University of St. Katherine's on Saturday, Feb. 3 at 2 p.m. The Beavers picked up a convincing win over the Firebirds back in December on a road trip to San Dimas.

"American Fragrance Store is the No. 1 fragrance retailer in the US, selling a vast range of branded perfumes for women and colognes for men."
American Fragrance Store is the largest retailer of specialist fragrances, selling all major perfume brands, celebrity perfumes and skincare and makeup products. Its broad selection of perfumes and colognes include celebrity scents, specialty samples, new arrivals, minis, testers, top selling brands and discounted brands too. Some of the big perfume brands that you can find at American Fragrance Store include Estee Lauder, Givenchy, Gucci, Guess, Hugo Boss, Hermes and more. The client approached us to develop a bespoke eCommerce store with integrated payment gateway options.
American Fragrance Store is a B2C marketplace for buying women's perfumes and men's colognes along with skincare and beauty products. The client was looking for a simple CMS so that he could manage the categories, sub-categories and pricing details with ease. We worked with the client to understand his requirements, design the website architecture and to decide the features to be included in the eCommerce store.
The client asked our team to develop a simple online store with registration, shopping cart, checkout, and payment option but with customized theme. We were also asked to incorporate different filters based on brands, price and category. He also wanted a mess-free menu style with easy payment through PayPal and cards.
We used Magento 2 technology for developing the online shop for American Fragrance Store. We chose this open-source platform because it provides smoother navigation, enterprise-grade scalability, in-built rich snippets, CSS preprocessing, easier customization and more structured code base.
We developed an attractive theme from scratch using Magento 2 platform. We designed an easy search feature for improved user experience and search engine friendly URLs to make website rank better on SERPs. For easy payment options, we integrated Magento-friendly payment extension.

One year after breaking my first bone (click here if you haven't read it yet), it happened again.
It was the spring-autumn-winter of the early 2000's. I was in Year 6, my last year of primary school. Back then, every kid looked forward to being the Year 6's of the school. You were the oldest and by default, cooler than everyone else—or us primary school kids liked to think. Full disclaimer, it is possible that I was the only one that thought this way as I spent a long time looking forward to be an 'old', year 6. This is probably linked to the fact I skipped a year and hence, was a year younger than my peers. I distinctly remember a girl on the first day of my Year 5 class saying, 'you are in the wrong class, I'm telling the teacher on you, go back to year 4'.
So back to the story of how I broke my second bone. My Year 6 teacher was one of those teachers that every student wanted. Every morning at 9:00 am, we began the day by going outside and playing a game. Our favourite game was non-stop cricket, but on this day, we played Octopus.
If you aren't familiar with Octopus, here are rules;
- The game is often played on a netball/basketball court, so that there are distinct boundaries.
- Two players (but this number can vary) are chosen to be 'it' (or the Octopus) and goes to stand in the middle of the court.
- The remaining players remained behind a defined boundary line set out by the teacher/supervisor.
- The teacher/supervisor will yell GO! And everybody sprints through to the other end of the court. They are only safe once they reach the other side of the boundary. If a player is tagged by the Octopus, they are out and must stand in the position they were tagged and must not move from that position. Tagged players then act as additional arms of the Octopus and may tag other players as they run through.
Our classroom was next to the school field, opposite the 'big kid' playground (for years 5 and 6 only) and overlooked the concrete netball court. Us kids walked down the stairs and lined up along the court, next to the hoop. Our teacher stayed on the balcony, two doors down from our classroom, and watched us from above. He chose two players to be the Octopus—I wasn't one of them.
I hated loosing, so I needed a plan. I strategised my route, calculated which players the Octopus would likely target, which players I would use as a shield and predicted which way other players would run so that I could adjust accordingly.
My calculations paid off, I made it past both Octopi and they targeted players I had anticipate. After each round, the Octopus kept growing 'new arms' from all the tagged players. This made it much harder to successfully run through, so I had to keep re-planning my steps. I was quite tall for my age, so I could run faster than most of my peers which helped to an extent. Plus, I had the additional boost of the 'not wanting to lose' adrenaline.
Several rounds later, there were a few of us remaining. The Octopuses were pacing back and forth, teasing us. While we were still behind the boundary, I noticed that one of the Octopuses targeted me. I looked at the available routes and thought 'no chance', but I would try to survive anyway—if I'm going down, I'm going down fighting!
'GO' my teacher yelled and off we went. I dodged the arms and around mid-court I had a small opening, so I started sprinting. This was when I heard the footsteps of that Octopus behind me, 'oh no' I thought. The Octopus reached out and tagged me so hard on my back that I gained so much additional momentum that I fell forward. I put my hands out to break my fall. Indeed, it did break my fall, but my right wrist took so much force that it went too far forwards and I felt that oh so familiar snap. It felt as if my bones had moved under my skin. I sat up, grabbed my forearm just below my wrist and started to cry. I should probably tell you that when I'm in extreme pain, I also laugh. So there I was, on the floor, laughing and crying simultaneously.
One of my classmates escorted my off the court and onto the wooden benches off to the side. After about 10 minutes, I calmed down and reach an equilibrium of acceptance. Exactly as I did the first time I broke my bone. Being me, I'm not very good at estimating pain, so again, I convinced myself that the pain would pass and that the intensity I felt was just me being a baby. For the most part, I did get over it. So much so, that I insisted to use my right hand as normal throughout the day. I'm right handed, so during my classes I would write with my right 'broken' hand by delicately balancing my pen/pencil between my index finger and thumb while using my left hand to clasp my forearm just below my wrist to stabilise it (see the below image).
Yes, I was that stubborn; and too proud to admit that I was in pain. Characteristics that I still possess to this day, not to the same ridiculousness, but still present all the same.
I went through my classes using this method to cope, I would go to the nurses office during break times to replace my ice-pack. The ice-pack acted predominantly as a mental plaster, as it did very little to alleviate the pain and would become warm after about half an hour.
Just as I had done so with my first broken bone, I had reached a point of accepting that pain was now my life, and got over myself. Likely because of my attitude, my teacher did not pay that much attention—my fault really.
In the evening when my parents picked me up from school, they noticed my wrist wasn't right and drove me to the emergency room. I got the X-ray and yep, they confirmed that I had a broken wrist. Though, the break wasn't as terrible as it was the first time round. The nurse wrapped my arm in a temporary cast, slapped a sling on and sent me on my way.
I was supposed to wear the sling for two days, but I didn't want people to think I was hurt and the sling made it look so much worse than it actually was. I complained to my parents that I didn't want to wear it, but they insisted I kept it on (and quite rightfully so). The next day when my Dad dropped me off at school, I reluctantly wandered to my classroom…wearing my sling.
As I opened the door, my classmates looked at my arm then straight at the boy that pushed me. I remember them saying, 'you broke her arm!' The boy went red in the face and cast his eyes to the floor. I was mortified that everybody thought I was injured. (I know! It was a foolish thing to be mortified of, especially since I technically was injured.) In response, I took my sling off in hopes of removing that type of attention.
It was either the same day or the following day that we went back to the hospital. I can't remember if this was just a follow up or whether I got my proper cast fitted but I do remember one thing (well kind of). I remember the nurse seeing me without my sling, and promptly told me off for not wearing it…or they told my Dad off, I can't remember which. Either way, somebody got a scolded.
Fast forward a couple months later, I broke my third bone trying to fight a boy almost twice my size…but that's a story for another time.

As a Influencer for Pro Teeth Whitening Co they have asked me to review both there tooth paste and strips. Waiting on some mouth wash though haha.
Let's get on to it, If you don't like the idea of using mouth trays, then whitening toothpaste could be the best option for you. One of my favourite has to be this charcoal/coconut paste from Pro Teeth Whitening Co, which taps into the beauty world's obsession with charcoal as an ingredient. Working to remove impurities, the formula uses a combination of detoxifying charcoal, fluoride and plaque removers to boost stain removal. While the black charcoal colouring can be a bit off-putting at first, the end result leaves your teeth looking brighter and with an instant sparkle, but it does need consistent use over a period of weeks to notice any real difference in shade. The products is just amazing & highly recommend it, it even taste pretty good.
The strips, which me personally I'm not a fan off, I still tried them and still got results. Within the first day i using the strips i saw immediate results, i did notice patches which were much more noticeably white than others however they faded over night. After using for only three days, the results are amazing and i can only imagine how much whiter they'll be after the full course!
If you are interested in getting a whiter smile then you are welcome to give it ago and you can use this discount GWTEETH & get 15% off.

Women who know their measurements save time and money while looking for a bra. Before leaving home, take a tape and measure yourself. First measure your chest right under your bust and then measure the fullest part of your breasts. Unfortunately, only 20% of women follow this advice.
Tip #2: Cups that shape and form the bust.
Another rule to follow is to look for the right cups. Bra cups should provide support and position your bust correctly. Put on the bra and look in the mirror. The bra should fit well, plus have a lifting effect. Your bust is supposed to be positioned between your elbows and shoulders. Finally, a good bra will help your breasts stay within your body frame. If your breasts in a new bra look low and wide, then the bra is not for you.
Tip #3: The importance of the seam
Keep in mind that not only the cup matters. You should also pay attention to the seam, because this is another detail that plays its important part. The shape of the bra depends on the seams. The way your breast looks depends on whether it rests right on the seam. If the seam is horizontal, your breasts will look fuller and wider. The vertical seam centers the bust and makes it look narrower.
Tip #4: Wear the right shirt when shopping
The top that you will be wearing while looking for your perfect bra will also play an essential role. The result will be not as productive and you will not be satisfied with the purchase if you are in a top that has a tricky collar. Clothes the fabric of which is clingy are not correct either. If it is the top you are looking for a bra to match with, simply take the item to the store, consult the shop assistant and ask for advice.
Tip #5: Big bras can be stylish, elegant and attractive
Nowadays manufacturers are trying their best to meet all requirements of their customers. If your cup size is over D, you can still purchase a fashionable bra. Modern lingerie made for plus-sized and busted ladies is as attractive and beautiful as that made for smaller women.
Tip #6: More bras! Better bras!
No need to restrict yourself. Do not try to save your money. High quality items are supposed to cost slightly more. Have more bras in your wardrobe. Let them be of better quality. It might cost more upfront, however, it is the right investment of your money. High quality things last longer and you will not need to replace them as often. Quantity matters as well. Have more bras, for example 6-8 pairs, so that you could wear a different bra at least every other day.
Tip #7: Never ignore care tag directions.
High-quality lingerie needs special attention. Always read the care tag and follow the directions. See what the manufacturer recommends and use gentle washing powder or soap, opt for hand wash and do not put your bras in the dryer.

The story of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts begins with Alan Gerry, a born-and-raised resident of Liberty, NY. Gerry, a cable television pioneer who founded Cablevision Industries Corporation (CVI) in the early 1970s, became passionate about philanthropy and improving the quality of life in his beloved Sullivan County. In the mid-1990s, he created the Gerry Foundation and founded Bethel Woods Center for the Arts as a project of the foundation. His vision? To improve the quality of life and revitalize the economy of the once vibrant Catskills. After the collapse of the tourism industry that had boomed throughout the twentieth century, the county suffered severe economic hardship. He saw the center as a way to inspire betterment through the arts and humanities.
After the Gerry Foundation acquired the 37-acre field in Bethel, NY where the original Woodstock Music & Art Fair took place, as well as 700 acres of surrounding property, the foundation produced the "Day in the Garden" music festival. This three-day event reawakened the potential of the long-dormant site. The following year marked the 30th anniversary of the 1969 festival, and was celebrated with four days of music and entertainment. It was this anniversary celebration that solidified the need for a world-class entertainment and arts center.
