Testimonials for Cara Moore, Life and Executive Coach
My Testimonials show how my Life Coaching give my clients the tools to deal with anything life throws at them. Get in touch with me today and learn how I can help you to have a positive outlook on life.
At certain points in life the bucket fills and disorder sets in and the adage of "can't see the wood for the trees" occurs – despite our experience or maturity. It's at times like these some sound 'tools' and words of advice are required. This is exactly where Cara helps and assists. I found Cara to be profoundly sensitive, professional, personable and understanding to the various 'challenge's' I was facing and helped me put order back into my life. These tools not only helped with my immediate goals and focus but also came to the fore when a life changing event occurred. Cara's sessions are enlightening and her website, posts and newsletters provide continued confidence in netting the true values and direction for one's self. Having totally reset my personal direction and focus, with the help of Cara's advice I can step forward confidently and with complete clarity on where life will now take me. I can't thank Cara enough for that guidance. we can't all do it by ourselves all of the time and gentle 'resets' can clear 'fog' quite quickly. I'm so glad I made contact a few years ago…..
I worked with Cara on one level to help me make a significant transition in my professional life, and we nailed that!
However, on another level, she also helped me understand "me": who I am, what I value and how all that affects why I do the things I do, what I want and why I want it.
This was delicate stuff and Cara partnered with me to create the trust, space and accountability that gave me the powerful insights I needed. I have emerged a calmer and more present person, with an increased awareness of my goals and ways of working / living.
Cara was recommended to me by a friend and I absolutely will recommend her in turn to my friends!
I have had 2 different professional coaches before in my career, Cara is in another league all together. I enlisted Cara to support an important professional transition. I am a Board level executive. She helped me become aware of underlying assumptions for my beliefs, leaving me with a deeper level of mindfulness. I regained some control I felt was lost. I formed a more holistic view of my goals. I made a very difficult decision I had not anticipated to make. Results: I now have a great job that works on all aspects (spouse, kids, house, school etc.) To give you a feel, our exchanges were mostly Cara asking simple but essential questions and listening deeply. Less frequently and at well selected times, she provided a recommendation. It's very refreshing to find a coach who actually teaches you how to fish, but has the courage to give her opinion at times. Her suggestions were always spot on, Cara gets how big corporations work. An unexpected benefit is that I learn a lot about how to be a good coach to others, by just watching her do her thing. I highly recommend Cara.
I am very thankful for the time and attention Cara provided in helping me become a more assertive and confident leader. Not only do I see a change in my leadership, but I feel stronger in my growth mindset and in prioritizing areas in my leadership which matter the most to me. Professional coaching has made a significant impact on my own leadership efficacy and on helping me balance home, work, and wellness.
Dear Cara, Thank you. This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate your help and support so much. You helped me see the individual that I am and truly made me believe that's it's okay to be me! It's been an honour to spend time with you and to receive your brilliant words of wisdom.
And her Mum said "she has loved working with you and has truly blossomed. I knew when I looked at your website you would be the right fit for her. Thank you, you are a very special lady. Keep on Coaching!"
I first met Cara with a view that I longed to return to feeling "great again", I had simply lost my mojo. The outcome from our first series of meetings has far surpassed expectations and I can honestly say that I am now rejuvenated for a better me. Cara's embracing approach, apt methods and relevance to my persona ignited my self-awareness in so many enlightening ways, that I now enthuse about broadening new horizons. Cara has helped me discover an appreciation of my own values and strengths, energizing me with a vision that now looks calm, focused and met with confidence……. that I matter. Thank you Cara, the journey started is one that I look forward to continuing with you.
Coaching with Cara was a great experience – a journey into myself, discovering how to be Agnieszka again.
It helped me realize that it is ok not to be perfect, that I am ok and I am not a problem. I learnt techniques how to "let go" of things I have no control over, to move on and be happy. Since I started working with Cara, my confidence has grown and my outlook on life has changed from "I can't do it" to "Actually I can". With techniques I learnt, I will continue working on my limitations, to minimize their effect on my decisions and life.
After the death of my father it became difficult to see the wood for the trees, busy life at work and home, and I started to question, what is life all about? I'd not felt like this before, not in control, unable to think clearly. So I looked on line for a solution, maybe life coaching can help? I rang Cara and after a short discussion, I decided to work with Cara to improve my situation. Cara has been a great support and is a very good listener, she has helped and guided me through the woods, helping with practical ideas around planning, health and wellbeing. I am now back on track, heading out of the woods and now feel motivated to put into action, many of the ideas discussed over the last year.
Cara's ability to listen and ask the right questions to enable you to form your own conclusions, was a revelation.
Cara has an amazing gift. Her easy and friendly approach makes you feel comfortable to really open up and discuss personal topics. In my sessions with Cara she has gently probed the reasons and thinking behind some of the challenges I felt I faced, and she has helped me make some great revelations which are already helping me in my day to day work and home life. The best part is that through the coaching sessions Cara has helped me to come to these realisations myself, which has had such a much greater impact on me than if someone had just given me some advice. Cara helps you to question the core, and gently guides towards a solution that you yourself suddenly see. I leave our sessions with key action points that I really want to follow, and with a fresh motivation and enthusiasm. Time spent with Cara really can change your life!

I got my calculator. It comes with a 200-page manual. https://mastodon.sdf.org/media/q6q-6gHNIwjriPYGC1M
@dbucklin nice!!
but I raise you with this!!! 😝
(I actually had to learn how to use this in high school alongside learning how to use scientific calculators... i still don't know to this day why we did LOL)
@snowdusk_ Your teacher was just preparing you for the inevitable techno-apocalypse. 💻💥👨🏼🌾👩🔧👍
@dbucklin Actually now that you mentioned that i do remember my teacher mentioning that but he did not mention anything about the apocalypse LOL he told us to be prepared if there were no sci calculators available 💦 Also I remember using this book but I no longer remember if this has anything to do with the slide rule. I know it's for looking up logs and exponents and stuff LOL 😂💦 have you ever used it before??
@snowdusk_ I know the US military used a lot of precalculated lookup tables, but I've never used something like that. Aside from geometry, math is not a strength of mine.
@dbucklin I remember having to carry this silly book with me for 1 yr in high school bec we also had to learn how to use it and not to rely solely on scientific calculators. Ask me now I have no idea where to start on that book 😂💦 maybe I will try relearning it as a challenge and check in with our own army to see if they r still using it then join them! LOL
@snowdusk_ @dbucklin i love my slide rule!
@dbucklin Eeeek! <screaming like a girl> I LOVE hp calculators! Congratulations!
@xmanmonk Thanks! I'm looking forward to using it.
@dbucklin btw, 12C was my first hp.
@xmanmonk Which other HPs do you/did you have? Have you seen the Swissmicros versions?
@dbucklin I had a 71 (rather rare) and several 41s (everyone in engineering school had those), and also a 28.

Saint-Gobain Pam UK launches new valves line-up
Iron technology leader Saint-Gobain PAM UK is introducing an exciting new range of PAM valves to the UK water and sewer market.
The new range, specifically designed to take cost out of customers businesses, features a high-quality, competitively priced range of products for virtually every valve application.The product line-up reflects Saint-Gobain PAM UKs aim of releasing value through design; with each valve being specifically designed to reduce customers capital and operational spend - from the unit cost of the product to the total installed cost. Each product has been designed to offer optimum durability, performance and quality. Three new products have been introduced - the Eurocheck non-return valve with a universal kit solution, the Eurostop double-flanged butterfly valve and the FH2-CE fire hydrant. The Eurocheck range of versatile and modular non-return valves will significantly reduce customers stock holding without compromising the flexibility to quickly respond to design changes, while also reducing the total cost of valve installations. The Eurocheck is a swing check valve manufactured to the requirements of EN1074-3 for use in both horizontal and vertical applications. The new range is available for both water and sewer applications and is available in pipe diameters from 80mm to 300mm.
Meanwhile, the exclusive new range of Eurostop butterfly valves provides a modern solution for network engineers, offering significant cost saving benefits and a superior sealing system over traditional gate valves typically used as isolation devices on pipelines, waterworks and hydroelectric plants.
Kitemarked to BS750 and BS EN 14339, the new FH2-CE fire hydrants are now CE marked in accordance with the Construction Products Directive. This, along with their robust, low weight, compact Ductile Iron design, makes the FH2-CE the most durable and efficient hydrant on the market today. The traditional gun metal outlet
often a target for thieves - has now been replaced with stainless steel, reducing the risk of theft and resulting replacement costs.
Saint-Gobain PAM UKs valve offering also consists of a range of air valves (water and sewer), lugged and wafer butterfly valves, flap valves, gate valves (water and sewer), and a range of accessories such as extension spindles and T-keys.
Valves Product Manager Tara Smith commented: With the new range of PAM valves, customers can benefit from unrivalled quality, ergonomic design and ease of installation and maintenance, removing cost from the supply chain at every opportunity. The new PAM valves ideally complement our ranges of water and sewer pipes, meaning we can provide a comprehensive product offering for any application.
Further details on the new valve range can be found at a dedicated microsite at www.pamvalves.co.uk where visitors can access detailed specifications, help with product selection, and examples of how the valves can reduce cost. The microsite also features a video highlighting the new Eurocheck non-return valves and the advantages of a highly innovative new universal kit solution in terms of stock holding and installation benefits.
The new range launch is being supported by an extensive marketing campaign with an artistic theme promoting the affordability and durability of the valve products.

Budget 2019| Education key cog in India's $5 trillion quest
India is set to become a USD 5 trillion economy by 2024, from USD 2.7 trillion at present. This looks like an achievable goal with the government taking the necessary steps to boost infrastructure development and encourage all round economic growth. An essential piece in the game plan for achieving this goal is focus on education.
Much like an army cannot fight on an empty stomach; an economy cannot grow if its workforce lacks the right education and/or skills. In today's world, when disruptions are coming one after another, this is more true than even.
Every industry has been disrupted by use of digital and cluster of associated technologies – from agriculture to automobiles, pharmaceuticals to aerospace, manufacturing to retail, telecom to oil and gas, all sectors are undergoing drastic change due to use of technology.
While technology itself is morphing at a pace quicker than managements and companies realise, India's education system needs to keep pace with changing times.
A growing economy needs employable workforce, armed with current knowhow rather than outdated skills. Companies spend million in re-skilling and with precious time lost to get workers up to speed. Our higher education institutions churn out around 2.5 million graduates every year. However, this is falling short of requirement, besides the fact that their quality leaves lot to be desired.
No wonder education featured prominently in Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's maiden budget. The finance minister has proposed a 12.8 percent year-on-year increase in FY20 allocation for school education to Rs 56,536.63 crore in Budget 2019. For higher education it has increased 14.3 percent to Rs 38,317.01 crore, giving a total outlay of Rs 94,854 crore to education.
The draft of the New Education Policy has ambitious recommendations with an aim to turn India into a "knowledge superpower", but any policy overhaul requires a corresponding enhanced outlay in budget to show how serious is the government's intent.
Going by the past budgetary commitments, the share of total spending on education in the Union budget has decreased in recent years. The government has focused on funding education through a cess instead of conventional budget, but so far that money also has not been put to use.
The new policies rightly emphasise on the need for quality teacher education, but the budgetary outlay for it has been reduced indicating that it's not high on priority.
The finance minister has announced setting up of National Research Foundation (NRF) to fund, coordinate and promote research in the country. Under the proposal, funds available in all ministries will be integrated to enable centralized funding and outcome monitoring mechanism, thus ensuring "coordinated research and innovation efforts, especially in problems areas critical for India and also globally relevant.
As per K Kasturirangan, NRF will address a critical lacuna and bring the focus on funding research within the education system, primarily at colleges and universities. The FM also talked about bringing in legislation for setting up the Higher Education Commission of India which seems to be a step in the right direction. She also announced three other initiatives which also are rich in intent.
The total allocation for research and innovation has also been bumped up from Rs 350 crore last fiscal to Rs 609 crore in the current fiscal.
The finance minister has announced the intent to start a programme 'Study in India' to encourage foreign students to study in Indian universities.
India has the potential to become the hub of education and the 'Study in India' programme will focus on bringing foreign students to the country.
Such a programme will also help in limiting the recent trend among Indian school student to go abroad for their higher education. Recent estimates indicate that over 7.5 lakh Indian students are studying abroad spending over 3 billion UD dollars on tuition and hostel fees.
The government also announced its intent to focus on imparting new-age skills in areas like artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, big data, 3-D printing, virtual reality, and robotics to equip youth to take up careers in these emerging areas.
Another initiative is about plans to establish a television channel broadcasting from Doordarshan dedicated to inspiring and promoting start-ups across the country.
The intent behind all these steps cannot be faulted – aiming to boost standards of education with a focus on quality and churning out employable students besides promoting research and developing more institutions of eminence.
Yet, like in the past, the problems are not with the proposals, rather execution has found to be wanting. For lack of ideas and direction budgetary allocations are often not fully utilized. Student teacher ratio does not match up to global standards. The focus is on improving quality but the output falls short of the benchmarks.
On paper the idea has been to replicate the success of IITs, IIM, IISc, AIIMS and such flagship institutions. In reality the task is far more complex—institution building is not just about nice campuses, but the right faculty, research orientation, global outlook to expose students to cutting edge work and so forth.
Bureaucratic inertia and political interference often puts paid to the best laid out initiatives. India falls behind most global benchmarks — be it number of patents filed, research reports, Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER—number of students enrolled as a percentage of population in same age group), coming up with new education models in keeping with changing times and so on.
Government schemes often sidestep the private universities and colleges, which have grown rapidly in the last five years taking up the brunt of higher education load.
Thirty eight percent of 903 universities in India are privately managed. Seventy eight percent of all colleges affiliated to these universities are in the private sector, in which 67.3 per cent of the all college students are enrolled. No plan aiming at growth can succeed without including this sector in planning and execution.
Budget 2019 for education promises to usher in once again a new era and leave the baggage of the past behind. There is always room for lot more to do in education. But even if we can do the hard work to get the various proposals going with all seriousness a lot can be achieved.

This salad tastes great and is a great source of protein. My whole family loves it!
1 16 oz. can kidney beans
1 16 oz. can garbanzo beans (chick peas)
1 16 oz can black beans
1 onion, rough chopped
1-2 stalks celery, chopped diagonally
1 c. edamame, frozen is fine
1/8 c. prepared brown mustard
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
cracked black pepper to taste
Rinse all canned beans to remove solution and salt. Drain. Place in serving bowl. Add edamame, celery and onion.
To make dressing: Mix mustard and balsamic together. I use a small jar and shake, but you can use a bowl and whisk.
Pour over and stir. Top off with lots of black pepper. This salad gets better the longer it sits in the refrigerator. The next day, the beans will have soaked up some of the dressing, so you can add some balsamic. I also use this dressing as a go-to salad dressing.

I first came across the Little Helper FunPod at a friend's house when my son was still just a bump. I thought then what a good idea it was and now, with a lively toddler running around my feet all day, it seems an even better one. So I was delighted when the lovely Kim, who came up with the idea, agreed to send one over for me to test drive.
Picture this. You are trying to make the dinner. Pots of boiling water are bubbling on the cooker, sharp knives are on the worktops and your little bundle of joy is hanging from your legs wanting to come up and see what all the excitement is about. Well that was me every mealtime – attempting to keep him safe and get the food on the table while feeling guilty the whole time that I was ignoring his attempts for attention.
And then the FunPod arrived. I hate to sound like a PR machine but this thing is truly fantastic. I love it and so does the little man. The idea is simple. The pod is basically a solid wooden box with four feet at the bottom and a removable foot plate that slots into place and adjusts according to your child's height. The moment we finished putting it together I popped him in, pushed him up to the worktop and he stood there next to me, happily messing about with some playdough and watching me as I made his dinner. The next day, he rushed into the kitchen, saying "FunPod, FunPod" and pushed it across the floor to where he wanted to go.
We have used it every day since. I have him with me stacking plastic cups, stirring bowls with my wooden spoons, or his favourite, transferring handfuls of teabags from the packet into a mug and pretending to make a cup of tea (we drink a lot of tea in our house). It has even become his little den. He sits down at the bottom, playing with a toy or hiding from us, emerging with a big grin and shouting "Peepo".
It comes in a variety of finishes – white, black, red, buttermilk, maple, natural wood – basically something to suit all decors. Ours is walnut accessorised with Postman Pat stickers. Very fetching.
Here are the downsides. You do need the room in the kitchen. It is a sturdy piece of furniture – it has to be to stop it tipping over. It is fairly heavy although my 22-month-old has no trouble pushing it across the kitchen tiles, and it isn't cheap. They come in at £112.99 on the Little Helper website (www.littlehelper.co.uk) although you can get it for less elsewhere. It might sound a lot for what is effectively a wooden box but it is well made, safe and it works. Kim and Sean Johnson came up with the idea seven years ago to keep their daughter safe in the kitchen and now their little invention can be found in homes across four continents. There is a reason why some things take off and some don't, and this thoroughly deserves the success it is enjoying.

So what to do your write about for Nablopomo? Should I have themed posts to make it easier to post something everyday? Should I write about my favorite memories? My childhood? Should I fill out those memes about myself? How do people do it? I'm currently looking through other blogs for inspiration, because I really don't want to spend the rest of November writing about how much I miss home; and I can't write about my day because I'm a student now and I spend all day in class.
Want to know what I did yesterday? I woke up early to try and get some homework done, but was not successful. Then I went to my biostatistics lab, then I went to work at the bird library, then got some Indian takeout for dinner. Then I went to my friend's house where we did biostats homework until 11pm. After spending 4+ hours on homework, we met some friends at a German pub called Heidelberg and enjoyed a much-needed beer. Then I went home and passed out. Today is pretty much going to be a repeat of yesterday – do homework all day, maybe have a drink, sleep. Oh the life of a grad student is so glamorous and exciting.

Vivofit Syncing Issues
My Vivofit Stopped Syncing with both my Computer and my phone. What should I do?
The syncing issues that you are having "might" be the result of having multiple applications running simultaneously. For example, if you try to connect trough your computer and you are running the same Garmin Express application on your phone, it could interfere confusing your Vivofit device from connecting. Try doing the following: If you want to connect through your computer, make sure the Airplane mode in your phone is off. That way the settings or cellular connections such as Wi-Fi, FM radio, and Bluetooth applications will be off and won't hold up your Vivofit from connecting. If nothing of the above makes your vivofit to sync, simply delete and reinstall the Garmin Express application and it should solve the syncing issues with your Vivofit.

DHARAMSHALA: The environmental researchers of the Central Tibetan Administration based in Dharamsala has conducted a detailed probe into China's mining activities in Tibet, concluding that large-scale exploitation of mineral resources caused the recent mining disaster near Tibet's capital Lhasa.
Below is the full text of the report:
1. Introduction
On Friday, 29 March 2013, Chinese state media reported that 83 miners including two Tibetans have been buried after a major landslide hit part of the Gyama (Ch:Jiama) Copper Polymetallic Mine at 6.00 AM local time. As of 4 April, 66 miners have been confirmed dead and 17 are reported missing, believed dead. The workers were reportedly asleep in their tents when they were buried by a mass of mud, rocks and debris, three kilometres wide and 30 metres deep. The landslide occurred in the Pulang Valley in Siphug Village of Tashi Gang Town of Central Tibet.
Tibet's rich mineral deposits have become a resource curse for the local residents and ecosystem. Since the late '60s, these mineral deposits have been exploited in various scales, mostly under poor environmental norms and regulations. As for the minerals extracted, copper, chromium, gold, lead, iron and zinc are the minerals of greatest interest to Chinese and other foreign miners operating in Tibet. These are being mined to different extents at various locations throughout the Tibetan Plateau. Now with a strong policy backing from Beijing designating mining in Tibet as one of Beijing's "Four Pillar" industries, Tibet's holy landscapes, lakes and the pristine rivers will face more destruction, pollution and most of all the local residents will have no option but to silently witness the ecocide of the Tibetan Plateau.
In a show of concern, President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli have instructed officials to "spare no efforts" to rescue workers. This is indeed a very sad and unfortunate incident. However, Chinese government must also "spare no efforts" to figure out the real cause of this tragedy… Click here to read the full statement and for a link to the full report.

Have you ever ever wondered where all these somewhat confusing phrases got here from? Authorized Malpractice or Skilled Duty attorneys normally sue or defend legal professionals when a lawyer has violated their duties to a consumer (i.e. dedicated malpractice) or when a lawyer needs defense in opposition to a former shopper who's suing them.
Should you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, a felony lawyer is the type of lawyer it's best to flip to. A prison lawyer might be educated in areas associated to criminal legislation, including issues related to bail, arraignment, arrest, pleas and any points relating to the prison trial itself.
Whereas technically that is true as a result of a lawyer is licensed to practice law (minus a number of exceptions where additional licensing is required), the law is so vast and all-encompassing that it is unattainable for a single lawyer to effectively provide authorized companies across every completely different area of legislation.
Typically these legal professionals just give attention to primary business authorized duties corresponding to forming your company, while others are extra encompassing and can work on all forms of business wants from employment points to tax compliance. After graduation, lawyers must preserve knowledgeable about legal developments that have an effect on their practices.
A J.D. diploma program consists of courses similar to constitutional regulation, contracts, property legislation, civil process, and legal writing. Work that was previously assigned to legal professionals, similar to doc evaluation, may now be given to paralegals and legal assistants.

CHARLOTTE- David Tepper, the founder of Apaloosa Management will buy the Carolina Panthers. Tepper should expect an easy process of acquiring the team without any difficulty from the NFL league office. Jerry Richardson is selling the team due to investigation of sexual harassment towards Panthers employees.
Apaloosa Management is a hedge fund firm. These firms manage high risk investments. In a nutshell, these businesses depend on high risk, high reward investments. It is an incredibly risk business. Tepper's success is second to no one as he net worth is $11.2 billion according to Forbes. Tepper is acquiring the Panthers for a record amount of $2.2 billion. According to Forbes, many people believe that Tepper is the greatest hedge fund firm entrepreneur of this generation. Apaloosa tries to minimize risks by not forming partnerships unless a business is accredited and qualified. Apaloosa is based in Miami, Florida. Apaloosa's investments can be anything including real estate. According to Forbes, Tepper said, "I am the animal at the head of the pack. I generally am. I either get eaten or get the good grass."
Tepper is also a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is an active entrepreneur. He donated three million dollars to hurricane relief last year and $65 million to Carnegie Mellon. He comes across as fearless, inventive, innovative and bold. That is the kind of owner the Panthers will have. The sale hasn't been approved by the NFL yet. There is always a slight chance that the sale won't be approved. However, the NFL is expected to approve the sale and it make it official after the league meetings next week. The announcement that Tepper is buying the Panthers should be official in the next seven days. It could lead to a name change for the stadium as well as that generally happens after teams ae sold.

Title: Chasing Flames
Author : Emily Fogle
Genre: YA Paranormal
Audience: 13 and up
Formats: Paperback and E-book
Publisher: Anchor Group
Cover By: Robert Immings
Editor: Melissa Ringsted
Pages: 169 pages
Published Date: Oct 31, 2013
Aydah Bell was happy in her normalcy; she was never the class clown or the sports hero, never the beauty queen or little Ms. Honor Student. One day, after a pointless family mini-vacation, Aydah returns to school and finds that her sheltered little world has turned upside-down. Besides the fact that she is beginning to crave raw meat, people are also disappearing.
Suddenly, an alarming disappearance in the quiet and serene city she calls home puts the whole town into high-alert. One of Aydah's schoolmates vanishes during the weekend and is conveniently replaced by a newcomer. To Aydah's surprise, the new boy is the completely beautiful and oh-so mysterious Liam Bailey.
Aydah finds herself drawn to Liam. He consumes her thoughts and she aches to be with him. In the mix of passion, jealousy, and hatred that follows, Aydah is too distracted to see the horrible fate headed straight for her.
There was so much pain. My skin was on fire and sweat dripped from every pore of my body. There was nothing I could do to make it go away, nothing in the world that could stop it. My flesh was being ripped from my bones, and my insides were being torn out. I was dying … what else could it be? Nothing besides death would feel so terrible. My head pounded and my brain ached. Hot pokers seared into my eyes, and my ears throbbed with sharp, shooting pains.
For just a moment more, his fingers continued to touch my forehead. He was perfectly still. His eyes were riveted to my face, like he was memorizing every line, every curve, with his fingertips and copying the image of my features into the palm of his hand. When he lowered his hand slowly, the tips of his fingers traced the bridge of my nose and followed down my jaw line. Frozen feathers, velvety and invigorating, awakening my body with their soft tickling chill. He cupped my chin in his hand and I could feel how powerful he was. He could bring down a mountain, reducing it to dust, but he was also gentle. There was safety in his stone caress and tenderness. The tips of his fingers rested beneath my chin and lifted my head slightly. As he brought his face to mine, my heart caught in my chest and my breath stopped completely. My head was a tornado of want and need. The temperature of my skin began to boil, but Liam's skin sent a shiver down my spine. I was burning with fever, but shivering against the cold.

Chasing Flames - Playlist
While writing Chasing Flames, I was really in a Breaking Benjamin kind of a moon. I listened to their CDs constantly! Here are the songs that really spoke to me and fueled me on:
Diary of Jane
Fade Away
What Lies Beneath
Into the Nothing
Without You
Here We Are
So Cold
Inside The Mind Of The Author
There is a whole lot of weirdness spinning around in there. Some of it is funny (at least to me), some of it is dark, some horrid, some even romantic (as much as I hate to admit it – but I usually gag at fluffy romance, so my romance always tends to be a little odd or wrapped in suffering in some way or another). Dragons, cyborgs, rock monsters, werewolves, vampires, succubi , and demons … oh my!
They all have a place in my head. I really love all different genres, and I've written stories of all different kinds. From epic fantasy, to post apocalyptic sy-fy I've got bizarre stuff roaming around inside my brain for all different tastes! I think it all sprung from my early childhood. My parents were VERY liberal with what they would let me watch. When I was six I was watching movies like Stephen King's Cat's Eye and Unico. It was one fantasy, wrapped in darkness, smothered in oddness, after the other. All of these helped shaped the games I would play and the imagination I chose to have. Now, it didn't add up to me being the most popular girl, but I learned to be at peace with my inner freak. The characters inside my mind were usually so much more interesting than the people around me, anyway! So, yeah … that's a little bit of what lives between my ears.
About the Author –
Emily Fogle was born and raised in Southern California. Her dream and ultimate goal was to get her Master's degree in English and become a teacher with enough time to write, as well. However, she soon found out that the best dreams often come true when they aren't planned. Instead of fulfilling her teaching goal, real life took over and she married the man of her dreams. She now has an amazing 7 year old son and another beautiful baby boy on the way.
She dedicates the majority of her time taking care of her family, volunteering at her son's school, and being a Cub Scout Den leader. And though she loves every minute of it, the thought of being a writer still tugs at her heart. So, after the busy days are done and everyone is finally sleeping quietly, she squeezes in time for all the other loves in her life: the characters running wild inside her head.
Now, incredibly, her writing dream is also coming true. Her first novel, Dragon Wars, is being published by Anchor Group. Emily feels sincerely blessed to have been given so much in life and can't wait to start the next chapter.

Most residents of the United States are familiar with the list of root vegetables common at the market. They include carrots, potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes, yams and radishes.
The list of herbal roots is much longer and not as well known. The list found on www.localharvest.org contains over 40 varieties. Most are to be harvested in the autumn and some not until the plant is two or three years old. Fall harvesting is important because it is then that the plant draws down most of the nutrients to be stored in the root in preparation for winter.
If a person is a conscientious root harvester, they will assure that care is taken in harvesting. Searching for an abundant supply and leaving much of the field for future growth is important in assuring an ample supply is available the next fall.
Some Root Herbs and Their Uses
* Barberry
This herb contains the chemical berberine. Since its action in the test tube is found to slow the growth of bacteria, it may be useful to aid the immune system. Some of the potential uses are treatment of epilepsy, sore throat, diarrhea and psoriasis.
* Beth Root
The root of this plant has been used internally to ease childbirth pains or induce labor. Used externally, it may help heal wounds or snakebites.
* Ginseng
One of the better known herb roots, few know that it is native to Canada. Canada grows and harvests this root for export and sends quantities to China. One of the methods that can be used to grow ginseng is called the Wild-Simulated Method. That method is described on the web site www.wildgrown.com. If the root harvested is similar to the wild root, it is more valuable. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center – www.umm.com, some very interesting studies have been undertaken that found American ginseng "possessed powerful anti-cancer properties". It may also be useful in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and reducing glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
* Burdock
The University of Maryland Medical Center has this herb consisting of carbohydrates, volatile oils, plant sterols, tannins and fatty oils. "Researchers aren't sure which active ingredients in burdock root are responsible for its healing properties, but the herb may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial effects. In fact, recent studies show that burdock contains phenolic acids, quercetin and luteolin — all powerful antioxidants." The herb is considered a weed in the U.S., but is grown as a vegetable crop in Japan.
* Comfrey
This plant has been found to contain allantoin that promotes rapid healing. There is some discussion about whether it may harm a person if taken internally, but it can be safely used as an ointment on broken bones and strained ligaments.
Root harvesting does not end when the root is removed from the ground. The root should be washed and hand-dried soon after removing it from the ground. Care must be taken to be sure the root is dried and stored properly. Light and moisture are harmful to all herb roots when preparing them for storage.
All roots dry more successfully if they are sliced into smaller sections. The most successful way to dry and prepare them for storage is to use a dehydrator. That appliance maintains the proper temperature and removes the moisture from the roots as they dry. If you have an oven that will maintain a temperature of 80 to 90 degrees steadily, you may be able to use it successfully.
It is recommended that you refresh your supply of herb roots each fall. After one year, most begin to deteriorate.

A former Norodom Ranariddh Party member was convicted yesterday of illegally possessing a weapon and wearing a military police uniform at the party's cabinet office in 2007.
Nou Kim Y, 49, was found guilty of the two offences at Phnom Penh Municipal court yesterday but was found not guilty of abusing Sao Rany, a NRP lawmaker for Prey Veng province.
The court heard that Nou Kim Y had produced a gun without licence and had worn a military uniform during a heated argument about money at the Norodom Ranariddh Party's office in Phnom Penh in 2007. He was fined one million riel (US$250) yesterday and received a one-year prison sentence.
However, he will only remain in prison for about six months of that term due to time previously served.
The trial was an appeal of a hearing last June, where Nou Kim Y was sentenced to a year in jail in his absence.
Nou Kim Y declined to comment about the case or the verdict yesterday.

There needs to be Equal Opportunity when discussing issues affecting America. I remember a few years ago when CNN's Soledad O'Brien did two deep-dive studies. One, Being Black in America and the other Being Hispanic in America.
The two sensational mini-documentaries focused on how blacks and Latinos have struggled in America. The pieces pointed out the good, the bad and the ugly. But I remember waiting for a third content-driven piece to flash across CNN. It never happened. I called CNN and actually sent Soledad an email asking her when can we expect to see Being White in America?
Her response was, 'there are no plans to produce such a piece.' I was like, really? I replied: You showed the many sides of blacks and Latinos in America, but you didn't profile the most logical commonality, which is white America. The conversation ended. This has plagued me for years.
I've noticed that most times when there are close look miniseries or TV programs or even movies focusing on black pain, there's never a hardcore focus on how white America has contributed to some of these very disturbing and disastrous occurrences. White America gets a pass in terms of showing how they've caused catastrophic tragedies in this country. And it's been done all for either greed, bigotry, ignorance or all three!
There are always studies on black poverty, black dysfunction, black homelessness, black violence, black lack of education, etc… There was a recent article written about the life expectancy between blacks who live in urban communities versus whites who live in rural or "Alice in Wonderland" environments. But the main attention was focused on blacks not being……. whatever. There was very little attention on how and why black life has become so tainted through decades of racism caused by white bigots.
My last point, I was at an event yesterday, and this is pretty typical of these kinds of gatherings: It was called Advancing Economic Equity. There were blacks on the panel but it was attended by mostly whites. These blacks on the panel seemed afraid to mention the word "racism" when listing all the causes of economic inequity within urban communities.
Now, there were slight mentions of white America's long history of racial oppression, but it was a soft step. I decided to remain quiet on this outing, but it bothered me that these four black panelists didn't attack the concerted industry of bigotry. Again, there was one main point made by a panelist that I thought gave me pleasure but it was noticeable that maybe these blacks didn't want to disturb the present apple cart.
I've decided that I'll not engage in any more one-sided panels, summits, or conferences that do not ask the question or bring attention to white America's massive role in urban poverty, police brutality, unemployment, housing disadvantages, false imprisonment, workplace prejudice, inadequate schools, etc. The focus cannot be on blacks and their inability to progress in America without bringing much-needed attention and admittance by white liberals or conservatives who've used institutional racism to stagnate the progressive flow of black lives that matter.
This is an issue that needs to draw just as many headlines as urban violence. We cannot continue having post discussions about black dysfunction while not focusing on how white America has caused the majority of the ills affecting not only black America but America. White America has to accept this reality and attempt to have an open and real dialogue. It's imperative! White America must speak out against white America!

The first major milestone for startups in a fundraising process is getting a Term Sheet from investors. A Term Sheet is a short document that summarises the main commercial terms of an investment agreement between the Company and investors. It serves as a basis for lawyers when drafting the extended investment agreements.
Now, the next thing to wonder is: what do all these terms mean and what is market practice?
Founders of startups, in particular at an early stage, might not have any prior experience and it could be their first time receiving a Term Sheet (TS). That being said, founders should get some reassurance by the fact that there is an alignment of interest since investors want to keep founders incentivized, while at the same time reputation is also important for investors.
In this article we will use a template TS – we will go through the terms, give you an indication of what is market practice and highlight what you better watch out (throughout the year and not only during the Christmas season when Santa is coming to town…)
So, let's get to it!
Term Sheet Template: Summary of Terms for Private Placement of Seed Preferred Stock
|Take Over the World LTD
|Pinky and The Brain
|1) VentureFriends (VF)
2) [●] Warner Bros VC
3) [●] Other Bros VC
|The lead investor would typically set the TS to be agreed with the Company. The rest of the investors will enter with the same terms
Structure of Financing
|The financing will be up to an aggregate amount of € [●] at a debt-free fully diluted pre-money valuation of € [●] including an unallocated employee share option plan ("ESOP") of the Company's share capital.
|The market practice is to refer to the fully diluted valuation i.e. the sum of already issued shares + any other outstanding instruments that could be converted into shares, such as stock options and convertible bonds
Conditions to Closing
|(i) completion of confirmatory due diligence to the satisfaction of the Investors and anti-money laundering checks, (ii) all employees have entered into service agreements containing IP assignment provisions, (iii) receipt of all necessary consents (incl. corporate resolutions), (iv) execution of a shareholders agreement
|The investors will proceed with the investment after checking that everything is in order. Watch-out, the TS is a non-binding document, hence it is not written in stone
Type of Security
|Newly issued seed preferred shares ("Seed Shares")
|The market practice is to issue shares that rank above (are preferred) over the existing ones, for every new round of financing
Liquidation Preference
|In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of preferred shares issued at Closing shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata amount equal to their proportion of the original capital invested limited up to the amount of cash they invested at the Seed Round (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations reclassifications, combinations and the like) plus any declared but unpaid dividends, in preference to the holders of the common stock.
After the payment of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of Preferred Shares, the remaining assets shall be distributed first ratably to the holders of common stock, to the extent of an amount equal to the Original Purchase Price per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations and the like) plus any declared but unpaid dividends, and shall be distributed second to all Shareholders on a pro rata basis.
A merger, acquisition, sale of voting control (excluding sales of equity securities for primarily capital raising purposes), consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets will be treated as a liquidation or winding up.
|This is a clause to watch out. Market practice for Liquidation Preference is to be 1x (one-time). Liquidation Preference is the right of preferred shareholders to have priority and be the ones who get their capital back before any other shareholders in case of a liquidity event (such as a sale of the company). If the Liquidation Preference is more than 1x then fewer funds are left for Founders and common shareholders if the exit happens at a valuation lower than the one in the respective round of investment.
Something else to watch out is if the Liquidation preference is Non-Participating or Participating. Market practice is to aim for Non-Participating. Participating Liquidation Preference (also known as "Double Dipping") is the right of preferred shareholders to also get their pro-rata payoff on top of the Liquidation Preference, before other shareholders catch-up.
|Holders of Seed Shares vote together with holders of ordinary stock on an as converted basis.
|A standard term that gives the right to investors to vote in general meetings
Reserved Matters Important Decisions
|Certain important actions of the Company shall require the consent of the holders of a [60%] majority of the Seed Shares (a "Seed Majority"), to include amongst others, actions to: (i) alter the rights, preferences or privileges of the Seed Shares (ii) create any new class or increase the number of shares (iii) redeem or the selling of any shares (iv) pay or declare dividends or distributions to shareholders (v) change the number of board members (vi) take any action which results in a Change of Control (in addition to the Seed Majority, no Change of Control to take place without the prior consent of the lead Investor) (vii) amend the constitutional documents (viii) effect any material change to the nature of the business or the agreed business plan (ix) subscribe or otherwise acquire, or dispose of any shares in the capital of any other company (x) grant or receipt of loans or guarantees (xi) merger, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (xii) adoption of the annual budget, (xiii) any borrowing by the (xiv) the entering into any guarantees or executing any instruments creating liens or pledges which are in excess of [€100,000] in any single instance provided that such pledge, commitment or transaction is not authorized in the Annual Budget of the Company and (xv) the conclusion of contracts which entail for the Company a payment commitment of an aggregate value in excess of [€75,000] in any single instance provided that such contract, commitment or transaction is not authorized in the Annual Budget of the Company.
|This is a list of important matters that need the consent of a certain % of Shareholders in order to achieve alignment with the management of the Company. Issuing new shares, selling the company or merging with another company are a few examples of such important decisions. Please note that these are just indicative numbers and may vary depending on each case and the stage of the company
|The Founders shall commit to create an Employees Stock Option Pool in order to allot to key employees (excluding the Founders) a number of shares representing in aggregate [8-10%] of the Company's total share capital prior to the Investors entry in the Company. The terms of the ESOP will be subject to written acceptance by the lead Investor.
|This is a plan designated to allocate stock options to employees, contractors, and consultants. ESOP is used by companies in order to attract talent, incentivize employees and align their interest with shareholders. It is good market practice to have a significant % available as an ESOP
|Each holder of Seed Shares shall have the right to convert its shares at any time into ordinary shares of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an initial conversion rate of 1:1, subject to proportional adjustment for share splits, dividends or recapitalizations and anti-dilution provisions.
|This is a standard clause that allows preferred shareholders to choose what makes sense to do in case of a liquidity event. Depending on the Sale price, amount invested, liquidity preference and their percentage in the Company it might make sense not to convert (if for example they have 1x Liquidation Preference and the Sale price is below the amount they have invested) or convert (if the Sale price covers the Liquidation preference and amount invested)
|All shareholders will have a pro rata right on a fully diluted and as converted basis, but not an obligation, to participate in subsequent equity issues of the Company (without prejudice to anti-dilution provisions). Any shares not subscribed for may be reallocated among the other shareholders. Investors may assign this right to another member of their fund group.
|When new shares of a company are issued shareholders with pre-emption rights have the option to buy those shares before they are offered to new investors. In this way, they can retain their percentage in a company and not be diluted
Right of First Refusal (ROFR)
|In case that any shareholder decides to sell any of its shares to a third party buyer, the Preferred Shareholders will have the prior right to acquire such shares with the same terms and conditions as agreed with the third party buyer. Any shares not acquired by the Preferred Shareholders will be offered to the common stock holders and if not acquired by the latter, the shares will be transferred to the third party buyer. Exceptions: (i) transfers between family members (ii) estate planning transfers (iii) IPO (iv) transfers to affiliated funds/shareholder/partners.
|When a shareholder wishes to sell existing shares, then shareholders who have a ROFR have the right but not the obligation (i.e. the option) to buy those shares, at the same terms, before they are offered to new investors
Co-Sale (Tag Along)
|Should any shareholder wish to sell all or part his shares held in the Company to a third-party buyer, each Preferred Shareholder will have the right to participate in the transaction with the same terms and conditions and proportionately to the respective shareholding percentages of the selling shareholders. Liquidation preference provisions shall apply. Should the proposed transferee not wish to buy the Investors' shares, the transfer will be cancelled.
|This clause protects minority shareholders. If any of the shareholders has found a buyer for their shares, then the rest of the shareholders can join the Sale
Drag Along
|If the holders of [50%] of the Shares being (the "Selling Shareholders") wish to transfer all of their interests in Shares ("Sellers' Shares") to a bona fide purchaser on arms-length terms ("Proposed Buyer"), the Selling Shareholders shall have the option ("Drag Along Option") to require all the other holders of Shares on the date of the request as long as the board and a majority of the investors approve it.
|This clause protects majority shareholders, in case they have secured a buyer for the Company (but the buyer is only willing to buy the entire company). This clause ensures that the deal will be completed, and the minority shareholders cannot block the Sale
Founders Lockup
|Founders shall not be entitled to transfer any of their shares in the Company for a period of [2] years as of Closing.
|This means that the Founders can't sell their shares for the first X years after the investment. The purpose of this clause is to keep founders incentivized to grow the business rather than walk away
Restrictive Covenants and Founders Undertakings
|Each Founder will enter into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, and an employment agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Investors, and agrees to devote its entire business time and attention to the Company and not to undertake additional activities without the consent of the Investors. A breach of any of the foregoing restrictive covenants or undertakings by a Founder shall result in immediate dismissal for cause of such Founder. Employees and contractors of the Company shall enter into invention assignment agreements and the Founders shall ensure that any intellectual property already developed is transferred to the Company.
|This is a standard term to ensure that the founder is a full-time resource to the Company
Founders' Vesting
|One-year cliff, 4 year vesting period (shares will vest at the end of 6 month periods starting on closing date). If a Founder walks away from the Company within a period of four (4) years as of Closing (either due to cause or by own accord), the Company shall have a call option to redeem the shares owned by such Founder against a minimal consideration linearly and inversely pro rata to the time remaining until the Founders' shares are fully vested. The shares redeemed by the Company are cancelled.
|This term is protective not only to the investors but also to founders themselves (in particular when there are multiple co-founders). The gradual vesting means that co-founders can't just leave the Company and keep their entire % if they decide to leave before the agreed timeframe. Depending on when they leave they would keep part or the entire %
Board of Directors (BoD)
|The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") shall consist of [X number] of members. The Lead Investor may appoint [one] director ("Investor Director").
|It is market practice for the Lead Investor to have a presence in the Board of Directors. Typically the Founders will have control over the BoD in terms of votes, but the Investor Director(s) need to also have enough votes so that there is balance
Information and Management Rights
|The Investors shall receive monthly reporting and monthly financial information. The Investors will have the right request an audit of the Company. The Company and the Founders acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the Information and Management Rights above, the Investor shall also have the right to carry out controls and audits and to request information and documentation by the Company concerning the same and the Business, provided that such monitoring and audits requirements shall be conducted in a reasonable manner which is not disruptive to the Business.
|This is for investors to stay informed about the progress of the Company. The interest of the Company and of investors is aligned and therefore being transparent is helpful for the Company e.g. cash needs will be identified on time by investors who can help, other issues can be picked up etc.
Documentation and Warranties
|Definitive agreements shall be drafted and executed and shall include customary covenants, representations and warranties of the Company and reflect the provisions set forth herein and other provisions typical to venture capital transactions.
|This refers to the assurance by the Company that specific facts or conditions are true, or will happen
|The Company shall pay the lead Investors' fees and expenses in the transaction at Closing, capped at € [10,000] plus VAT.
|It is market practice for the startup to pay the due diligence expenses. At the end of the day, there is an alignment of interest. Investors are deploying capital to the Company to be used for growth rather than fees, hence the lead investor would try to keep these costs at a minimum
Exclusivity (no shop agreement)
|In consideration of the Investors committing time and expense to put in place this financing, the Company and Founders agree not to discuss, negotiate or accept any proposals regarding the sale or other disposition of debt or equity securities, or a sale of material assets of the Company for 45 days from the date of the Company's signature below.
|If the Company is happy with the Investor and terms, they will sign the TS. Everybody will put time and effort to complete the deal and therefore this asks from the Company not to start shopping around for a better deal and proceed with completing the one agreed
|The Company and Founders agree to treat this term sheet confidentially and will not distribute or disclose its existence or contents outside the Company without the consent of the Investors, except as required to their shareholders and professional advisors.
|This is a standard Confidentiality clause saying that the TS is not to be freely disclosed
Governing Law/ Jurisdiction
|English law/ LCIA Rules of Arbitration.
Non-binding Effect
|This Summary of Terms is not intended to be legally binding, with the exception of this paragraph and the paragraphs entitled Expenses, Exclusivity and Confidentiality and Governing Law/Jurisdiction, which are binding upon the parties hereto.
|Watch-out, the TS is a non-binding document which means that even though these are the initial terms, there are more terms to be agreed (which might also affect the ones initially agreed)
Hopefully, after reading this article you got a better understanding of what are the key points to focus on, while also got a sneak peek on some standard terms and market practices!
As a concluding point and takeaway, it is important that both founders and investors are happy with the agreement in order to stay incentivised and take over the world (or at least a part of it) 🙂

text: BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT: "The depressing vogue for having fun at work". I'm certainly not anti-social, but when I've been the boss in an office environment, even when it's a virtual team, I always try to keep a good atmosphere without turning it into a compulsory thing. Good atmosphere doesn't come from forcing people into doing 'fun' things (it can actually make things worse). It mainly comes from what the leadership does, and the profile of the people you hire.

Every RC lovers know, electronic parts are very important AND expensive when building an RC, right? Therefore, reading this article can help your servo live longer and save money.
Choose the RIGHT Servo
Servos have different character, Speed, Torque, Low Profile, General .Also go with reputable manufactures and shopping platform,which provide better after sale service!
Set your Endpoints !!!
NOT setting your endpoint can kill your servo faster than anything!!
For privacy reasons Vimeo needs your permission to be loaded. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.
Soft Mount the Servo
Do you use the rubber grommets, eyelets supplied with your servo? Soft mounting your servo only takes a few moments when you're installing your servo. Install the grommets into the eyelets in servo. This can help to isolate the servo from chassis vibrations and to prevent cracking the ears off the cases.
Tidy up the Wire
Keep your servo wire neat and tidy and, most importantly, away from moving parts which are supporting your RC Car. You may need some tools like screw driver may help!
Check Clearance
Before install the servo into the radio tray, you should check the clearance in order to avoid the vibration. Some servos are longer than others, you should make sure there are enough space to account for servo and chassis flexing.
