The Government of Canada has reserved an additional $2 billion for Canadian universities and colleges through the next three years to meet the difficulties of an evolving economy, with the primary $500 million accessible this year. The new Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund, which will be given to advanced education organizations more than three years from 2016-17, was reported a week ago in the principal spending plan from Canada's new Liberal government, driven by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It will bolster up to 50 percent of the eligible expenses on campus infrastructure at universities and subsidiary institutions and such.
The administration likewise reserved an extra C$95 million a year for the nation's research councils boards from 2016-17, the most elevated measure of yearly investment for research in over 10 years.
In any case, a bigger plan for boosting Canadian advancement will need to hold up an additional 12 months while Ottawa counsels with business, training offices and non-benefit groups on how best to bolster innovative work.
"Our objective of growing the economy is really fundamental to us," Liberal Finance Minister Bill Morneau told reporters during a press conference before delivering his first budget speech in the House of Commons. "Our innovation agenda is central to that", he adds.
The legislature said it would create an advancement agenda within next year, making a guide for Canada's financial future in view of its repute in science & innovation, creative citizens and global standings.
The monetary allowance likewise incorporated various measures intended to make advanced education more reasonable for students. From 2016-17, state-subsidized scholarships, known as Canada Student Grants, will be expanded from $2,000 to $3,000 every year for students from low-wage families, and from $800 to $1,200 for students from middle income households. Low incomes households will likewise get a $600 yearly increment to $1,800. These expansions were guaranteed by the Liberal Party in its decision promises a year ago.

You spend so much time working in your practice. That is what you trained for, to be the best dentist possible. But before you meet your first client in the morning, or consult with staff, you have to have a system in place to keep your practice constantly expanding. Marketing your practice with an approachable, compelling dental website design is one of the key elements to attracting new clients and their families. Ask yourself, is your time best spent on optimizing your website and creating the most compelling copy to attract new and returning clients, or would you benefit from the expertise of dental website design experts?
The best dental websites use a targeted dental web marketing system to differentiate themselves from the competition. At the end of the day, your practice relies on new dental patients becoming regular clientele. One way this happens is through appropriate dental website design and targeted marketing techniques.
Ask yourself, are you attracting the number of new prospective clients that you need to fill your practice hours? You have hidden assets in your business that can mean the difference between a full practice and an empty seat. Your dental website design can showcase both your personality and your expertise that compels website visitors to take action and schedule their next appointment. High production quality video as part of your dental website design could be just the leverage you need to attract the prequalified, high quality patients and their referrals to bring your practice to the top.

When it comes to cars, are all colors equal? Studies show they aren't and that each hue plays a different role in the image a driver wants to portray.
Let's face it: the personality of a vehicle is as important to the owner as the make and model.
Experts who study how color affects consumers agree that a car shopper's color choice is the result of careful consideration. What driver doesn't want their ride to reflect their personality?
Whether the goal is sleek sophistication, polished perfection or bold beauty, the color you choose says a lot about you.
Car buyers are passionate about what they love. Or hate.
Just ask veteran car saleswoman Amiee Miller, who's been selling used cars at Florida Fine Cars for 4 1/2 years.
"They get extremely crazy over the color of their car. A person who wants a white car, wants a white car. A person who wants a black car wants a black car," Miller said. "Color can make or break a deal. Some shoppers won't even look at a car unless it's a certain color."
The most popular car colors? Black and white, followed by silver and gray, she said.
"Black is incognito. It's luxury and power," Miller said. "White is so Miami, so South Florida."
Cars buyers who gravitate toward orange, red, yellow or green like something a little different. Cars with unique interior colors like peanut butter, gold, terra cotta or red also have devoted followers. And sometimes a car color just depends on whimsy.
"It takes a particular person who sees that car and just wants it," Miller noted.
Experts who study color and consumerism say choosing a car color is also about how the car owner wants OTHERS to perceive them instead of just a reflection of how they see themselves.
Hot-Headed or Cool as a Cucumber?
Car buyers are attracted to the same colors over and over mostly because the colors reflect an element of their personality. Experts who study color link certain traits to specific colors. Take a look:
Black: Associated with luxury and sophistication. Drivers who choose black vehicles select them because they want to look like they are in charge. It's the color of choice for royalty, presidents and diplomats and it is all about power.
White: Youthful and modern. Drivers who pick white are clean, fastidious and prideful. It's also a popular color in hot climates because it reflects light and helps keep you cool. And yes, it's sooo Miami.
Silver: Elegant, futuristic and modern. It's sleek and beautiful and it doesn't get as dirty as white.
Gray: Dignity, tradition and maturity. A person who drives a gray car doesn't want to stand out.
Red: Confidence, passion and high energy. Red is a color that says, "Look at me!"
Blue: Stability and serenity. This is a practical, cheerful color. Don't worry. Be happy.
Brown/beige: Down-to-earth, thrifty and honest .A driver who chooses brown isn't concerned about style, trends or fads.
Yellow: Joyous and positive. This is a color for the young at heart. Smile!
Green: Linked to nature, strong sense of self. Drivers who pick this hue don't care what others think.
Orange: Unusual. Drivers who choose this hue aren't afraid of being different.
Florida Fine Cars offers nearly 1,500 quality used cars for sale priced thousands below retail at its three locations combined. Florida Fine Cars dealerships are conveniently located in West Palm Beach near Palm Beach International Airport and just off Florida's Turnpike, and in Hollywood and Miami.

His operatic repertoire exceeds forty roles, and he has sung with English National Opera, Kent Opera, Scottish Opera, the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, Mauritius Opera, and the Narodni Divadlo in Prague: He appeared with Theater Basel in Actus Tragicus (a staging of some of the cantatas by J.S. Bach, with the renowned director Herbert Wernicke) - and performed with Opera Restord and the Akademie für Alte Musik, Berlin in their production of Lampes comic opera The Dragon of Wantley at the Potsdam Festival.
His Oratorio repertoire is catholic, whilst maintaining a flexibility of approach and vocal style; he has broadcast frequently for BBC Radio 3, including works as diverse as Bonnal's oratorio Poèmes Franciscains, the Requiem by Gabriel Fauré and Michael Hurd's Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo. Work with Trevor Pinnock has included the bass solos in Bachs Saint Matthew Passion in Europe, Istanbul and Japan, and he has also appeared as soloist with Sir John Eliot Gardiner in Berlioz' LEnfance du Christ, Handels Israel in Egypt (both BBC promenade concerts), Bachs B Minor Mass, Haydns Nelson Mass and the Odes and Masques of Purcell.

Thinking of heading with the family to Placencia but have safety concerns
Our family of 10 people is planning a 3 generational family trip for my dad's 80th birthday. We know that Belize is on Frommer's list of the best destinations of 2015. Reservations are on hold in Palencia at the Belize Ocean Club for Christmas week. We heard some concerns about gangs, drug trafficking and violence. Is it a concern for our trip, as we pass through the Belize City airport or at various tourist destinations? Can we let our teen age daughters walk around on their own at the resort or in the town of Palencia? We have to commit to our airfare soon so would very much appreciate your advise. If we are good to go, do any of you have any recommendations for specific tours or activities not to be missed?

TL done.
Again, sorry if I got things wrong, I haven't played this game Nasu is gushing about.
Fussan is so...
With the livestream over, Kinoko returns to reality.
Finally tomorrow, "Fate/EXTELLA LINK" is to be released.
I've talked about this in an interview quite a while ago, but this one isn't a sequel to "EXTELLA", but a spin-off.
The main dish this time isn't the story, but the system.
The scenario is light, with about the scale of Toei manga matsuri.
"I'm busy everyday, stuff like the peace of Mooncell and protecting human history is a bit to heavy, I just want to have fun with action!"
"Just let me use Drake. And Robin. And who's this new servant that looks like the King of Hearts?"
This is the gist of making "Link".
With the many improvements from the previous work, please enjoy the reborn High-speed Servant Action.
By the way, what were you all doing this GW?
Go to a nearby mountain and bbq on a salt block. I get it.
Ate some good icecream in Tokushima? I get it.
Became jinruiaku and farmed QP? I get it.
I was travelling alone on my motorcycle.
It was a obscure village called Fujiyoshi-mura.
I casually went there, but it was a inescapable hunting zone of monsters.
Mountain village ruled by folklore.
Closed environment and abnormal common sense due to shared understanding.
Shitty MC.
The fall of a forbidden night, and a even more horrifying daytime.
The complicated, yet clear recital of reasoning and logic.
One by one, the "absolutely" diminished neighbors.
Absolutely shitty MC.
After overcoming death, understanding fear, comprehending the world,
the absolute worst conclusion to crush the past worst happens.
The small world ends, the large world ends, and the curse invades reality.
Unearthliness and tragedy, unstoppable by human wisdom anymore will attack you.
But see.
The knowledge and desire to analyze humans have has thrown light even upon the great darkness.
Unreachable by human wisdom? Don't be stupid.
In this universe, there are beings humans can not reach, but there is nothing human wisdom can not defeat.
This MC that floated right into this nightmare,
he just kicked away this supreme unearthliness and tragedy with "the wisdom of humans".
Really what's going on with this shit MC! (I love you!)
Well. To explain what this was about,
it was on the masterpiece Intense Horror Mystery ADV "Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P"!
I'd heard how it was an ADV themed on "Werewolf", but I couldn't find a good time to play it for a while, then I heard they released the Switch version, and bought it finally.
Any detailed description on "Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P" would be a spoiler... or more like it will take away your enjoyment when you play it, so I can't say anything.
But, if you like "Otogirisō", "Banshee's Last Cry", "CROSS†CHANNEL", "Higurashi: When They Cry", "Kyogoku Natsuhiko Youkai series", I will recommend you to play without any hesitation.
Especially effective on people who liked the atmosphere of question arcs in "Higurashi".
In the past, many talented creators have made an attempt of the "death loop" trope.
This is because ADV games are the best medium for stories of "repeating death".
In novels, movies, and manga, trial & error becomes a planned sequence, but here, the player can actively try it by themselves.
The game system itself is a gimmick used as a part of "telling the story".
You get a taste of how "repetition" is a interesting and horrifying act with your own hands.
I could even say it's the perfect trope for games.
You witnessed a tragedy too terrible to look at.
You were given the power and knowledge to change this.
Then there is nothing to be lost about.
One more time, once again, you will overcome this "story with no villain, but insanely riddled with malice".
All players about 5 hours or so into playing "Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P" will be determined so.
But the world is not that simple, and when you turn the page of one problem, another even worse problem appears.
"Isnt't that so?
You thought it will be okay this time, didn't you?
You thought you'll manage to pull in a better end, right?
Too bad.
Because you thought so much, you'll call in an even worse something---!"
You hear a derisive laughter from someone unknown.
When the situation changes, your attributes change too.
The enemies blocking you change.
Most of all, the more you know the previously unknown,occultdarkness
the values of the world changes.
Ah --- the world rotates.
Loops are not just about "repeating a story",
but they also mean rotating the world, as I felt deeply while playing this game.
There should be a reason for loops,
there should be reasoning for occult,
and perfect scientific analysis should, even then, have a remaining unclear darkness.
I could only applaud the scenario development, with how it has conflicting elements built in, while not denying each other.
Human relationships in a closed environment. Hello miss psycho heroine. The strength and danger of folklore. Don't fall to the attractiveness of the clumsy miko. The roots of religion. Kamisama so cute. Even so what's going on with the lack of EXTRA scenario material!
"Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P" was a masterpiece, making us immerse deeply into the story with solid writing, while also having a lot of fun game spirit packed in as well.
In the countless "Looping ADV" genre, "Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P" surely made a new legend.
So, if anyone found themselves interested, please play it.
I'd like to advise you to start playing on a Friday night.
You'll immediately be glad, thinking "wow, I can spend the entire weekend in Fujiyoshi-mura, this is the best".
This got quite long, I should stop around here.
I'll finish this off with a spoiler that only makes sense to people who cleared the EXTRA scenario of "Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P", something that made me go "wow......".
(If you haven't finished, please don't read this.)
Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P EXTRA scenario Spoilers
You know that main visual on the title screen.
They have that Muguruma family talisman.
But if you look at it upsides down, it's the three eys of you-know-what, and I was so impressed by their nerve, confidence, and playfulness.

Finkelstein's New Book on Decision-Making
Sydney Finkelstein and colleagues have an interesting new book about decision-making that has hit the bookstores. The title is: Think Again: Why Good Leaders Make Bad Decisions and How to Keep it From Happening to You. I had the opportunity to read a draft of the book several months ago. The authors offer a very practical guide for leaders who want to improve their decision-making, drawing upon interesting new science regarding how the brain works as well as their own field research in many businesses. For a review of the book, see this article from the Financial Times.

Stravinksy saw Spring synonymous with violence and death. Somebody - was it him? - described the sound of the ice cracking on the Volga as being like the slashing of a blade. And then, we have THE RITES OF SPRING, and, of course, Easter, which isn't really about bunnies and chicks, but about a horrendous form of death followed by the myth (or not, depending on your beliefs) of the resurrection. Spring, for me, has always been about death and violence. Yet I was married in Spring, and our two children were born in Spring. Then the man I loved died suddenly, two years ago, in Spring - so for me, it's still a season of high drama, cruelty, death and re-birth. I wonder if Stephen King, or any other horror writer, has ever deliberately set any of their work in early Spring for these reasons?
We have recently lost the incomparable Terry Pratchett, with his gigantic imagination, and the world is a poorer place without him - except that his books live on, and I hope will never go out of print. I've recently been rereading THE SCIENCE OF DISCWORLD, and yes, of course, our planet and its inhabitants are all actually part of an experiment run by the Unseen University - who could doubt it? And in recent months, I've found myself wondering if 'God' isn't a rather unpleasant little cosmic programmer who's decided that we're getting a bit too canny for our boots. People living longer, cures for plagues, and a general feeling that we should be nice to each other and even take care of our planet? Boring, boring, and worrying, too - where is Its place in all this? So It's been stirring things up a bit. Nasty.
Two small, but positive, book-related things have emerged from my unwanted and unloved Spring this year. The first has been the resurrection of one of my children's books I thought had vanished for ever - no, it didn't go out of print, but the publishers dealing with it did what publishers so often do - jumped into bed with each other, divorced, re-wed, then emerged as a different company in a different place. Not one of my favourite cover images, but hey! it will be out next month, so it will be a bit like having a new book out there.
The second has been the unlikely acceptance of one of the stories I produced in response to a really challenging (well, for me) brief. It's set in the Rainforest, has three near-murders, and will be aimed at Years 1-2. As an American might say, go figure.
On the Indie side, I'm still flirting with CreateSpace. A friend of my daughter's won a writing competition with an extraordinary debut Young Adult novel. The prize was publication plus an ISBN by the CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, and she received a large quantity of books to distribute, plus a professional cover image. Exciting, except that her local bookshops refused to stock them, and I'm concerned that the narrow commercial requirements of so many traditional publishers might restrict her chances publishing-wise. She's not a celebrity, and recent publishers' reject cliches seem to have evolved from 'not quite right for our list' into the enigmatic, and infuriating: 'too quiet'.

Chef Justin Vaiciunas is one of the youngest and most ambitious Executive Chefs working in the city, and he flexes his love of intricate molecular gastronomy presentations and top-tier seafood to create a singularly luxe experience. There are dishes that are smoked and set on fire tableside, and the menu has some helpful tasting notes for unfamiliar items. The stuffed sea urchin is a standout, but if you're feeling splurge-y (and you should, because you're here), order the tasting menu, which changes in size and theme monthly.

Carey Mulligan Mentions Rob in Grazia Magazine (Germany)
Reporter : Playing with Robert Pattinson in a thriller is a still current project ?
Carey Mulligan : Yes, we haven't lose hope yet. So far, this has not worked, but I find the script is fantastic and working with Rob would be great fun. 'Hold On To Me' is an indepedent production, and as usual, there are many obstacles to overcome until funding/financing is secure.

By: Henry J. Fromage (Two Beers) –
Horror can come in many forms- grisly carnage, spooky jump scares, deranged madman, inhuman monsters, ghosts…
Whatever the hell's going on in Ben & Arthur
Anyway, now that we have the intro out of the way, let's talk The Eyes of My Mother. You see, horror none of those horror motifs can match a disorienting look at something equally mundane and evil- otherworldly and entirely plausible- and this film has those qualities in spade. Come join us in discovering how one childhood trauma can beget an entire life that… just ain't right.
A Toast
Director Nicolas Pesce is a visionary whose visions most people would mistake for bowel-emptying nightmares. He's crafted a horror tale whose oblique logic and incredibly matter of fact, almost procedural execution will chill you to the core while ensuring you can never tear your eyes away.
Hehe, everything about that cliche + this movie.
Both actresses portraying the central young girl and then young woman do a spectacular job conveying a very logical, very tidy, utterly soulless creature, and the supporting players inhabit this world entirely naturally, especially the psychopath that invades what originally appears to be a bucolic, Norman Rockwell household in the beginning. Pesce's genius is not really subverting expectations as to what fucked up events will follow, but leaving us no hook to hang those expectations on whatsoever, drawing out scenes and draining out all but the most diagetic sound until you've no choice but to stay riveted to the screen until that inevitable hammer falls again.
His compositions and black and white camerawork are gorgeous, showing a particular talent for camera placement and affinity for at a distance shots that enhance the eye's natural attraction to the frame while spurring the imagination as to what could possibly happen next in these too wide, almost contextless panoramas. This is a charnel house by way of the arthouse, and all the more disturbing by how difficult you'll find it to distinguish the two.
Beer Two
This film's only 76 minutes, but what a brutal 76 minutes… By the third chapter, 'Family', you're ready for the ordeal to be over, no matter how impressive and beguiling its execution. This film… hurts you.
The Eyes of My Mother is a frighteningly captivating debut from Nicolas Pesce. The monsters he conjures are all the more disturbing in their plausibility.

I remember the days when no one even cared about brows. We'd just leave them to do their own thing and occasionally get a bit tweeze happy when we thought they were looking a little on the bushy side. Nowadays it almost feels like a sin to leave the house without doing your brows and well, truth be told I feel completely bare without doing them and it's become a vital and enjoyable part of my makeup routine. Yes, I erm actually enjoy filling in my brows…However, I was getting
If someone asked me where my favourite country was I'd have to say Italy. The culture, the food, the people, the sights, the weather, I just love everything about it and I can definitely see myself living there for a bit one day. Since Mary Kate and Ashley released When in Rome I was determined to move to Rome and work for a fashion company. I'm definitely still not ruling that out…My parents bought a house in Calabria in Southern Italy about 8 years ago now and I've been lucky
The days are getting darker, it's no longer acceptable to leave the house without at least three layers on and Christmas decorations are slowly but surely making their way into shops, which of course can only mean one thing…it's November. The month of fireworks, Christmas markets, Christmas shopping and cosy nights in by the fire. Weirdly enough, Bonfire Night is one of my favourite nights of the year and I'm not even sure why. There's just something so special about fireworks and I love piling on the layers and standing

For years I paid the bills by working for someone else but never felt inspired.
Other people love having a job that they're good at but I've come to realize that I have the spirit of an entrepreneur. I'm probably never going to be truly satisfied with my work until I am working 100% for myself.
It wasn't always like that though. I worked for many years in a couple different industries. For about 5 years I worked in the food industry – fast food first, then waiting tables. I learned a lot about customer service and how to work with difficult people.
After a while I decided that I wanted to get into the business world so I started out working in a bank as a check processor. Over the years I worked in various office positions – inventory clerk, legal assistant, winery coordinator, and bookkeeper, to name a few. Never satisfied.
Searching for Inspiration
I dreamt of working for myself but never knew how I would accomplish that. I dabbled a little in home businesses but didn't care for direct sales and a craft business didn't really pay the bills. So I kept searching.
Hearing about how some people were making money working from home on their computers intrigued me. So I set out to see what it was all about.
I spent a lot of time and a load of money on programs that promised a life of leisure and magical riches.
Bah! It didn't work for me. It didn't work because there is no such thing. You have to work hard to get what you want. That's when I began discovering ethical marketers who would lead me on the path to building my own online business.
I've discovered a love for blogging and get a lot of personal gratification from helping others. I've decided to bring it together here on Advancing Steps.
I believe…
in helping people learn how to make money online, not just push a button or wish upon a star for some magic money that never materializes. I hate it when people get scammed out of their money with empty promises and I want to help with real solutions.
So, what you'll read here are my real experiences. What I'm learning, what I'm doing and how it's working out financially. I'll share my opinions, successes and even my failures. I'm dedicated to complete transparency in my online business and my hope is to help others begin to build theirs as well.
A little more about me…
We live in the center of the beautiful state of Washington, only about an hour from Lake Chelan. I'm married and we have three children (quite the spread), our oldest boy is 23, our middle girl is 19 and our youngest boy just turned 8, and two dogs, Daisy and Cesar.
Here's a few pictures my family:
I love to create beautiful things…
So needless to say my hobbies are mostly visual – photography, graphics, drawing/doodling and candle making.
Let's Connect!
I'd love to connect with you here and/or on social media. Please introduce yourself! 🙂

English second in Newcastle
Fresh from his Olympics debut in Rio, Mark English returned to action in England on Saturday.
He finished second to Olympic champion David Rudisha in a 500m race in Newcastle.
The race was part of the build-up to the annual Great North Run.
Over 25,000 people were out on the streets of the city to see Rudisha finish in a time of 57.69, a new record for the event.
English was close behind in 57.91. The Letterkenny man had won the race last year.

The BGs, where half the battle is stayin' alive, are points of strategic importance to both the Alliance and the Horde. In the trenches, forests, and plains of these instanced areas, players fight members of the opposite faction while completing a wide range of objectives. Don't get carried away in the heat of battle, focus on the mission and stick to your battle brothers and sisters. Keep what you capture, don't leave anything undefended and never, EVER, fight on the roads (to hell). Remember, there are more honor points in victory; all else is dust, easily swept away.
Resource Race
Keep the resources flowing into the stores of your faction by capturing and holding nodes. Stall the enemy, disrupt their operations and you may soon be cruisin' the road to victory.
Capture the Flag
Sneak into the enemy's fort, take their symbol of pride (flag) and return triumphantly (means: alive) to your own flag. Do not allow the enemy to take your flag or you will be unable to capture theirs.
CRUSH YOUR ENEMIEEEES, NYAHHHHHHHHHHHH! What? Oh… *ahem*. Ride into the fields of battle and clash with the enemy force. Burn down their towers, obliterate their defenses and eliminate, or secure, high priority targets.
Deployment Options
When the drums of war begin to thunder, the choice is in your hands. Whether you're being hot-dropped in the nearest available front (Random Battlegrounds), or you decide to heed the Call to Arms (weekly Battleground where the fighting is at its thickest), you'll be rewarded with additional PvP currency. Conversely, if you prefer to pick your battles, you can select specific Battlegrounds, or exclude up to two of them from the list (click the ).
Once you've proven yourself in the field and earned your weapons and armor, it's time to crank it up a notch. Assemble an elite fighting unit of nine like-minded—and geared—friends or guildmates, and head into the Rated Battlegrounds. These will put your abilities and teamwork skills to the ultimate test, for with the greatest challenge come the greatest rewards.
Whatever your decision might be, remember this piece of wisdom: sometimes it is okay to turn tail and /waggle (especially when outnumbered).

A few years ago, I received a call from a friend of mine who was ecstatic after a breakthrough weekend that he'd just had with his daughter.
That previous Friday afternoon, he'd driven to his daughter's college campus for the annual Parent's Weekend.
Between her school work, her boyfriend and her packed social schedule, his daughter's calendar always seemed to be wonderfully full – and this being her senior year, she seemed to be even busier than usual!

Hey, fabulous ladies!!
Education is at the core of empowerment because knowledge…is POWER.
Part of feeling empowered is directly related to how knowledgeable we feel. This year, I will be sharing with you one book each week that has empowerment at its core. The genres will vary from things like self-development to health and beauty products to mindset to business/entrepreneurship to lifestyle and exercise and many others.
Sometimes we can feel empowered in one area of our life, but not other areas. The variety I will be sharing will help you tap into other areas, increase your knowledge, and fuel your empowerment.
I'll use this blog as the main spot for listing the books and I'll update it each week with that week's recommendation. I hope some of them tickle your fancy and I hope the ones you choose to read are truly helpful for you.
Please Pin this and share it via the social media buttons below! Thank you!

In A Tribe Called Bliss she shares the exact structure she used to build her own tribe and grow from the anxiety-ridden, unhealthy, introverted underachiever she was to the confident woman who takes risks and leaps out of her comfort zone, with a foreword from #1 New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein.
The benefits of a having a tribe are undeniable. Women who have strong social circles are living longer, happier, healthier lives in comparison to those who lack connections and are mentally and physically exhausting themselves trying to quench external desires in isolation.
Today, we live in an uber-connected era, where anyone is able to make thousands of friends and participate in their lives with the swipe of a finger. Why then, in such a connected time in history, do so many women feel disconnected, confined, misunderstood, defeated, or think that success is a solo project?
In A Tribe Called Bliss Lori Harder bridges the gap between inspiration and action, providing a lasting resource for positive change and a guidebook for establishing a support tribe. This practical book is for the growing audience of woman seeking the sisterhood and connection they crave so much. It encourages readers to examine life on a micro level, and Lori provides lessons and contextual self-work exercises on how to develop the kind of awareness of the present moment that is the key to a lifetime of blissful happiness."
Week 51: The Courage Habit by Kate Swobodo. "What kind of life would you live if you didn't allow your fears to hold you back? The Courage Habit offers a powerful program to help you conquer your inner critic, work toward your highest aspirations, and build a courageous community.
Are your fears preventing you from living the life you truly want? Do you ever wish that you had a better job, lived in a different city, or had more authentic and nurturing relationships? Many people believe that they would do more, accomplish more, and feel more fulfilled if only they could rid themselves of that fearful inner voice that constantly whispers, "you can't do it."
In The Courage Habit, certified life coach Kate Swoboda offers a unique program based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you act courageously in spite of fear. By identifying your fear triggers, releasing yourself from your past experiences, and acting on what you truly value, you can make courage a daily habit.
Using a practical four-part program, you'll learn to understand the emotions that arise when fears are triggered, and to pause and evaluate your emotional state before you act. You'll discover how to listen without attachment to the self-defeating messages of your inner critic, understand the critic's function, and implement respectful boundaries so that your inner voice no longer controls your behavior. You'll reframe self-limiting life narratives that can—without conscious awareness—dictate your day-to-day decisions. And finally, you'll nurture more authentic connections with family, friends, and community in order to find support and reinforce the life changes you're making.
If you feel like something is holding you back from landing your dream job, moving to a new city, having a satisfying love relationship, or simply taking advantage of all life has to offer—and if you have a sneaking suspicion that that something is you—then this one-of-a-kind guide will show you how to finally break free from self-doubt and start living your best life."

You felt that something just wasn't right about someone that—until you learned the hard way that your instincts were right.
"Every time you bite your tongue," teaches Kelley Kosow, "you swallow your integrity."
Before Kelley Kosow was a renowned life coach and CEO, she constantly second-guessed herself, let her "to-do" lists and others steer her dreams and passions, and played it "small and safe."
Inspired by the groundbreaking principles of her renowned mentor Debbie Ford, who hand-picked Kelley to be her successor, The Integrity Advantage is Kelley's step-by-step guide for facing the fear, shame, and false beliefs that cause us to lose our way.
Through life-changing insights, true stories, and proven strategies, this book will show you how to live on your own terms—according to you—from the inside out.

• Connect with your inner truth and keep it growing stronger day by day

• Embrace the totality of who you are
• Turn the tide on mediocrity
• Break free of the "gravitational pull" of your past
• Get fearless and excited about moving outside of your comfort zone
• Stop living from your "to-do" list and start living from your "bucket" list

Week 46: Why She Buys by Bridget Brennan. "If the consumer economy had a sex, it would be female. If the business world had a sex, it would be male. And therein lies the pickle.
Women are the engine of the global economy, driving 80 percent of consumer spending in the United States alone. They hold the purse strings, and when they've got a tight grip on them as they do now, companies must be shrewder than ever to win them over. Just when executives have mastered becoming technology literate, they find there's another skill they need: becoming female literate.
This isn't always easy. Gender is the most powerful determinant of how a person views the world and everything in it. It's stronger than age, income, or race. While there are mountains of research done every year segmenting consumers and analyzing why they buy, more often than not it doesn't factor in the one piece of information that trumps them all: the sex of the buyer. It's stunning how many companies overlook the psychology of gender when we all know that men and women look at the world so differently.
Bridget Brennan's Why She Buys shows decision makers how to bridge this divide and capture the business of the world's most powerful consumers just when they need it most.
• No Matter Where You Live, Women Are a Foreign Country: You'll discover the value in studying women with the same intensity that you would a foreign market. Women grow up within a culture of their own gender, which is often invisible to men. Brennan dissects this female culture and explains the important brain differences
between men and women that may cause your female customers to notice things about your products, marketing campaigns, or sales environment that you might have overlooked.
• The High Fives: There are five major trends driving the global female population that are key to determining their wants and needs. These global shifts are just beginning to be tapped by businesses, and learning about them can provide you with an invaluable blueprint for long-range planning.
• The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Find out how the best and brightest companies have cracked the female code, and hear horror stories about those that haven't. Through instructive case studies and interviews, Why She Buys provides practical, field-proven techniques that you can apply to your business immediately, from giants like Procter & Gamble and Toyota to upstarts like Method home-care products and lululemon athletica apparel.
At a time when every company is looking for a competitive advantage, Bridget Brennan offers a new and effective lens for capturing market share."
Week 45: She Means Business by Carrie Green. "Are you ready to turn your ideas into reality and build a wildly successful business? There has never been a better time to say yes! With a computer and an Internet connection you can get your ideas, messages, and business out there like never before and create so much success. In this book, Carrie Green shows you how. Carrie started her first online business at the age of 20—she knows what it's like to be an ambitious and creative woman with big dreams and huge determination . . . but she also knows the challenges of starting and running a business, including the fears, overwhelm, confusion, and blocks that entrepreneurs face.

Week 44: The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown, Ph.D. LMSW. "When our embarrassments and fears lie, we often listen to them anyway. They thwart our gratitude, acceptance, and compassion—our goodness. They insist, "I am not worthy." But we are worthy—of self-discovery, personal growth, and boundless love. With Brené Brown's game-changing New York Timesbestseller The Gifts of Imperfection—which has sold more than 2 million copies in more than 30 different languages, and Forbes recently named one of the "Five Books That Will Actually Change Your Outlook On Life"—we find courage to overcome paralyzing fear and self-consciousness, strengthening our connection to the world.
A motivational and inspiring guide to wholehearted living, rather than just the average self-help book, with this groundbreaking work Brené Brown, Ph.D., bolsters the self-esteem and personal development process through her characteristic heartfelt, honest storytelling. With original research and plenty of encouragement, she explores the psychology of releasing our definitions of an "imperfect" life and embracing living authentically. Brown's "ten guideposts" are benchmarks for authenticity that can help anyone establish a practice for a life of honest beauty—a perfectly imperfect life.
Now more than ever, we all need to cultivate feelings of self-worth, as well as acceptance and love for ourselves. In a world where insults, criticisms, and fears are spread too generously alongside messages of unrealistic beauty, attainment, and expectation, we look for ways to "dig deep" and find truth and gratitude in our lives. A new way forward means we can't hold on too tightly to our own self-defeating thoughts or the displaced pain in our world. Instead, we can embrace the imperfection."
Week 43: The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. "Licensed in over eighty-five languages, The Purpose Driven Life is far more than just a book; it is a guide to a spiritual journey. Once you take this journey, you'll never be the same again.
On your journey you'll find the answers to three of life's most important questions:
The Question of Existence: Why am I alive?
The Question of Significance: Does my life matter?
The Question of Purpose: What on earth am I here for?
Living out the purpose you were created for moves you beyond mere survival and success to a life of significance—the life you were meant to live.
Five benefits of knowing your purpose:
It will explain the meaning of your life.
It will simplify your life.
It will focus your life.
It will increase your motivation.
It will prepare you for eternity."
Week 42: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. "'Gay Hendricks is a great role model for true success. He enjoys abundance and a deep connection with his own spiritual essence, and at the same time has lived for three decades in a thriving marriage. Now, he shows us how to do it for ourselves.'
— Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Cracking the Millionaire Code

Week 28: Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin. "Gretchen Rubin's answer: through habits. Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life. It takes work to make a habit, but once that habit is set, we can harness the energy of habits to build happier, stronger, more productive lives. So if habits are a key to change, then what we really need to know is: How do we change our habits?
Better than Before answers that question. It presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits—and to change them for good. Infused with Rubin's compelling voice, rigorous research, and easy humor, and packed with vivid stories of lives transformed, Better than Before explains the (sometimes counter-intuitive) core principles of habit formation.
Along the way, Rubin uses herself as guinea pig, tests her theories on family and friends, and answers readers' most pressing questions—oddly, questions that other writers and researchers tend to ignore:
• Why do I find it tough to create a habit for something I love to do?
• Sometimes I can change a habit overnight, and sometimes I can't change a habit, no matter how hard I try. Why?
• How quickly can I change a habit?
• What can I do to make sure I stick to a new habit?
• How can I help someone else change a habit?
• Why can I keep habits that benefit others, but can't make habits that are just for me?"

Week 24: Grace, Not Perfection by Emily Ley. "As a busy wife, new mother, business owner, and designer, Emily Ley came to a point when she suddenly realized she couldn't do it all. She needed to simplify her life, organize her days, and prioritize the priorities. She decided to hold herself to a standard of grace rather than perfection. This mantra led to the creation of her bestselling Simplified Planner®, a favorite among busy women everywhere—from mamas to executives and everywhere in between.

Designed with Emily Ley's signature aesthetic, this book gives women tangible ways to simplify their lives to give space to what matters most.

Learn to live a little more simply. Hold yourself and those you love to a more life-giving standard in Grace Not Perfection, and allow that grace to seep into your days, your family, and your heart."

It is my heartfelt belief that these vignettes can inspire everyday selflessness and a contagion of small acts of kindness. Suzie Abels is a beacon of love and giving for her family, friends and community. She lives life to its fullest, opens her heart to strangers and loved ones alike and has left a lasting footprint of inspiration on her path to spread kindness."
Week 22: The Warrior Goddess Way by HeatherAsh Amara. "Since its publication a short time ago, HeatherAsh Amara's Warrior Goddess Training has become much more than just a book―its ten lessons have inspired thousands of women around the world to reclaim their power, their passion, and their freedom. In this much anticipated follow-up, The Warrior Goddess Way, Amara goes deeper, revealing three additional pillars of Warrior Goddess living that readers can apply to travel further down this sacred path: Wisdom, Authenticity, and Yes!
• Wisdom arises naturally when we learn to listen. Not to the voices in our head, but the voices in our cells, our natural discernment, and our creative knowing.
• Authenticity is embracing your vulnerability, your silliness, and owning all your superpowers. It's accepting and loving what is, not what "should be."
• Yes! is about celebrating everything. All the time. (Even your greatest defeats.)
In exploring these three pillars, Amara delves into topics such as forgiveness, relationships, and finding your inner stillness. You will learn the art of maintaining emotional balance, cultivating self-respect, practicing heartfelt communication, and the power of consciously embracing life's beginnings and endings. Like Warrior Goddess Training, this book is packed full of exercises and explorations designed to help you integrate the Warrior Goddess Way into your everyday life. You CAN learn to enjoy everything you do. Your potential for dancing through life is waiting to be awakened. Live the Warrior Goddess Way and claim the woman you are destined to be."
Week 21: Letting Go by David R. Hawkins. "Letting Go describes a simple and effective means by which to let go of the obstacles to Enlightenment and become free of negativity. During the many decades of the author's clinical psychiatric practice, the primary aim was to seek the most effective ways to relieve human suffering in all of its many forms. The inner mechanism of surrender was found to be of great practical benefit and is described in this book.
Dr. Hawkins's previous books focused on advanced states of awareness and Enlightenment. Over the years, thousands of students had asked for a practical technique by which to remove the inner blocks to happiness, love, joy, success, health, and, ultimately, Enlightenment. This book provides a mechanism for letting go of those blocks.
The mechanism of surrender that Dr. Hawkins describes can be done in the midst of everyday life. The book is equally useful for all dimensions of human life: physical health, creativity, financial success, emotional healing, vocational fulfillment, relationships, sexuality, and spiritual growth.
It is an invaluable resource for all professionals who work in the areas of mental health, psychology, medicine, self-help, addiction recovery, and spiritual development."

Week 15: Budda's Brain by Rick Hanson, PH.D. "If you change your brain, you can change your life. Great teachers like the Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and Gandhi were all born with brains built essentially like anyone else's―and then they changed their brains in ways that changed the world. Science is now revealing how the flow of thoughts actually sculpts the brain, and more and more, we are learning that it's possible to strengthen positive brain states. By combining breakthroughs in neuroscience with insights from thousands of years of mindfulness practice, you too can use your mind to shape your brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom. Buddha's Brain draws on the latest research to show how to stimulate your brain for more fulfilling relationships, a deeper spiritual life, and a greater sense of inner confidence and worth.

With this model, Dr. Myss shows how you can develop your own latent powers of intuition as you simultaneously cultivate your personal power and spiritual growth. By teaching you to see your body and spirit in a new way, Anatomy of the Spirit provides you with the tools for spiritual maturity and physical wholeness that will change your life."

Week 9: Daring Greatly by Brene Brown, Ph. D. LMSW. "Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing. It's about courage. In a world where "never enough" dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It's even a little dangerous at times. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there's a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena—whether it's a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen."
Week 8: Tears to Triumph by Marianne Williamson. "Instead of allowing ourselves to embrace our hurt, we numb it, medicate it, dismiss it, or otherwise divert our attention so that we never have to face it. In refusing to acknowledge our suffering, we actually prolong it and deny ourselves the opportunity for profound wisdom—ultimately limiting our personal growth and opportunity for enlightenment. Frozen by denial, we are left standing in the breech. Whole industries profit from this immobility, and while they have grown rich, we have become spiritually poorer. As Marianne makes clear, true healing and transcendence can only come when we finally face our pain and wrestle with what it has to teach us."
Week 7: Asian Secrets of Health, Beauty, and Relaxation by Sophie Benge. "For centuries, Asian women have relaxed and beautified themselves with exotic therapies derived from the materials of nature; plants, herbs, minerals, clays, and flowers.

By sharing her insights, the author also shows us how to feel the same sense of peace and quiet joy that illuminated her life. This book began as one woman's gift to the world, hand-made by Kim McMillen and handed out to friends." Give this gift to yourself.
Week 5: Think and Grow Rich for Women by Sharon Lechter. "Women are the future of American business. According to a recent Nielsen report, women will control two-thirds of American consumer wealth in less than a decade. And yet almost all business and success literature is still written for men—dispensing advice that doesn't take into account women's unique strengths or address the demands of family life on mothers. Think and Grow Rich for Women is a powerful book outlining a master plan for success for ALL WOMEN."
