(For a live blog on European stocks, type LIVE/ in an Eikon news window)
* FTSE 100 up 0.2 pct
* FTSE 250 about flat
* All eyes on Brexit "Plan B"
* Oil majors top boost to FTSE 100
* William Hilll falls after results
* Kingfisher lower after rating cut
* Just Eat reverses early losses as CEO leaves
Jan 21 (Reuters) - British shares opened slightly higher on Monday, buoyed by strength in oil majors and multinational consumer goods companies, as investors readied for news from Prime Minister Theresa May on her plan to exit from the European Union.
London's FTSE 100 was 0.2 percent higher at 0900 GMT, with further weakness in the pound boosting the exporter-heavy index. The mid-caps were flat.
Both were outperforming their European peers ahead of May's presentation on her Brexit "Plan B".
Oil majors were the biggest support, with BP and Shell up 0.6 percent each, as crude prices rose to their highest so far in 2019 after data showed refinery processing in China climbed to a record last year.
Consumer staple companies that earn the income abroad were the other main gainers, led by British American Tobacco and Unilever. Some 70 percent of income from the blue-chip index comes from overseas.
With roughly two months to go before Britain is due to leave the EU, May will address the parliament at about 1530 GMT to set out how she plans to try to break the Brexit deadlock after her divorce deal suffered a historic defeat last week.
Expectations for any major changes in the agreement were low. Societe Generale economists said in a note they think Plan B will "look suspiciously like Plan A."
May's main opposition Labour Party is pressing for a new election - despite an unsuccessful no-confidence vote against her last week - and for her to rule out the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.
Elsewhere, Asian indexes reacted calmly to data that showed the Chinese economy slowed at the end of last year though industrial output rose a surprisingly strong 5.7 percent in December.
Kingfisher dropped nearly 4 percent to the bottom of the main index after brokerage RBC cut rating to "underperform", noting that the macro and housing backdrop remains unsupportive in UK and France.
Gold miner Fresnillo rose 1.7 percent as investors turned to gold, considered a safe haven, with expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will pause its multi-year interest rate hike cycle.
Leisure and travel shares also led the gainers, with easyJet recouping some of the ground lost on Friday after Ryanair's warning.
There was plenty of corporate news to digest on the midcaps.
William Hill fell 3.1 percent to the bottom of the index after the bookmaker said it would remodel its retail business after warning that full-year profit will fall 15 percent.
Takeaway ordering website Just Eat reversed opening losses to trade 0.8 percent higher as investors digested news that its chief executive Peter Plumb was stepping down after just 16 months at the helm and updated its forecast.
Housebuilders were lower after recording their best day in roughly six months on Friday with data that showed asking prices for British property were rising at the slowest pace since 2012 amid ongoing Brexit worries. (Reporting by Muvija M in Bengaluru)

Village Birth International Community Doula Certification is a community-based training offered so that local people can serve families in their own community during the childbearing year. This professional certification gives doulas the tools and education they need to offer evidence-based guidance and support. VBI doulas are a reproductive justice collective who serve through self-determination and with the understanding that better birth outcomes can only come through real connections with the families we see every day.
Village Birth Community Doulas are trained professionals organizing within their own communities and providing: comprehensive perinatal education; labor and postpartum support for pregnant individuals and their families; and breastfeeding education and newborn care support. They also serve as advocates within their own community–organizing to promote dialogue that bridges the gap between community, birth partners and organizations, and professionals within the maternity care system. Our aim is to ensure that all people and families have access to safe, dignified, and culturally relevant care geared toward elevating the platforms of health equity, reproductive justice, and all stages of maternal health.
This professional doula certification gives community doulas the tools and the education they need to serve families in their own communities, from pregnancy through the childbearing year and beyond. Our training also addresses:
- the historical and current landscape of maternal health disparities, both locally and globally
- issues of health and race equity in the US and globally
- the racialization of pregnancy and birth
- the affects of trauma in maternal health on individuals and communities
- the history of obstetrical violence
- structural and systemic oppression
- the application of Respectful Maternity Care
- tools for community organizing for reproductive justice
- deconstructing allyship and white privilege in birth work
Our model takes into account the complexities faced by community birth workers and those we serve each and everyday. Our training expands the doula framework beyond just the perinatal, birth and postpartum periods to a model that connects global maternal health advocacy and direct engagement with the diverse communities in which we live.
The choices we make now and throughout our childbearing year have everything to do with our experiences in birth and as mothers. While this certification gives an expertise in birthwork, VBI's mission is to train community partners, not only to inform, but also to listen and advocate for people as they make decisions based on their own individual circumstance. This training is specifically designed to train & support women of color, refugees, undocumented individuals and LGBTQ families. Our focus is Doula Care as an immediate, collective response to persistently high maternal and infant mortality rates in communities of color. We are committed to improving birth outcomes for families facing health disparities due to concentrated poverty, resource deprivation, culturally incompetent medical systems, and systemic racism in healthcare.
Village Birth International (VBI) Community Doula Training promotes the interconnectivity between community birth advocates and doulas, agencies, institutions, policy makers, and maternal health and medical professionals. Our overarching goal is to improve birth outcomes and work toward eliminating antenatal and postnatal disparities present in today's maternity system that disproportionately affect communities of color. Our framework is based on the Black Mama Matters Alliance and The Universal Rights of Childbearing Women-Respectful Maternity Care organizing throughout cities in the US, community birth advocacy and doula trainings help to ensure that all families have access to reproductive justice and health advocacy.
VBI Doulas are certified as Community Doulas & Perinatal Community Health Workers.
If you are considering pregnancy or pregnant, please contact us for more info about how a doula can support your experience. We also support birthworkers seeking doula certification as a committed profession. If you are interested in becoming a Community Doula, we are here to support your journey.
There are many options to pursue this life changing experience.
Village Birth International is committed to Community Doulas for families regardless of income or resource availability.
Our training includes 4-Day Intensive & 9-Month Certification for mentorship and program requirements contact email@example.com

February 23, 1996, Section D, Page 4Buy Reprints
The heirs of Howard R. Hughes Jr. wound up one of the greatest business empires of this century today by announcing that they had agreed to sell the last remnants of the Hughes holdings, vast tracts of land and buildings in Las Vegas, Nev., and in Los Angeles, to the Rouse Company.
The rest of the diverse Hughes empire, from aircraft and satellite construction to gambling casinos and oil equipment, were sold earlier, most after Hughes died in 1976 as a recluse, desperately frightened of germs and the public.
Today, Rouse said that it had agreed to buy the remaining holdings, in the form of a company called the Howard Hughes Corporation in a complex transaction valued at more than $520 million. Rouse, one of the largest developers of shopping malls in the country, will assume $294 million in debt and give the Hughes heirs $176 million in Rouse stock. Before the sale closes, Hughes will pay its shareholders a total of about $150 million in dividends.
But potentially the most valuable part of the deal are terms that give Hughes shareholders half of any future profits on the resale and development of most of the undeveloped Hughes land. These "participation rights" are likely to produce millions of dollars of profits to the shareholders for many years to come. These profits will be paid in the form of Rouse shares.
The chairman of the privately held Howard Hughes Corporation is William R. Lummis, a cousin of Hughes who took control of the assets after 1976 in a tangled estate that was tied up in court for years. Hughes was at one time reputed to be the wealthiest man in the world and initially made his fortune in oil equipment, then getting involved in the movie business and gathering a huge number of assets until he withdrew from public view. The company was previously known as the Summa Corporation.
He left no will, although several people brought what they said were wills to the court and were eventually rejected. The other 350 or so shareholders are other heirs of Hughes, their descendants, and, in many instances, their lawyers, some of whom took shares rather than payment for their services over the years.
The crown jewels are the Howard Hughes Corporation holdings in Las Vegas. Las Vegas has expanded beyond its origins in gambling and is now one of the fastest-growing cities in America, with huge subdivisions, shopping malls and resorts springing up on the desert.
The company's holdings include Summerlin, a 22,500-acre community in northwest Las Vegas that has 20,000 people in 11,000 homes and is expected to house 160,000 at its completion, the Fashion Show Mall on the Las Vegas Strip and several other commercial and industrial sites.
The company is also a major partner in the huge Playa Vista development recently announced in Los Angeles. The site, near the airport, was used by Hughes for aircraft and helicopter construction. It is now being developed into the site of the new movie studios of Dreamworks SKG and a planned community that will eventually house more than 20,000 people.
Anthony W. Deering, the chief executive of Rouse, which is based in a planned community that the company developed in the 1960's, Columbia, Md., said that most of the Howard Hughes Corporation executives would remain in place and would continue to operate the company. He called the acquisition "a remarkable opportunity for the owners and employees of both companies."
It will extend the reach of Rouse, traditionally focused on the East Coast, to the Western United States, and it will give the Howard Hughes Corporation a greater ability to develop its property. Until now, the Howard Hughes Corporation had been severely restricted by its shareholders in its ability to purchase property and to borrow to develop its holdings. Rouse brings both capital and expertise.
Rouse is well known for its big retail developments, such as the South Street Seaport in Manhattan and the Fanueil Hall Marketplace in Boston. It owns more than 50 regional shopping malls.

The word 'Bastard' is rarely associated with anything positive. You may stub your toe and exclaim the word. You may have been slighted at work and felt the need to utter the sound. Hell, even Ol' Dirty Bastard changed his name to Big Baby Jesus before his untimely passing.
In the case of Founders' Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale, however, the exact opposite is true. This sud will help you associate the words 'Dirty Bastard' with nothing but pleasant thoughts of a cold, malty and flavorful brew.
I first encountered Founders Scotch Ale inside of a trendy Manhattan restaurant named Flex Mussels. The Founders brew was highlighted as a great beer to pair with my salty oceanic meal. It was so good that a few days later I actively sought it out and purchased my first Dirty Bastard six pack. A few six packs later, I'd have a chance to review it.
A quick note about Scotch Ales – these are malt-forward beers, with hops usually being quite light. Hops were certainly grown in and around Scotland, but let's just say that the climate isn't the most accommodating for hop production. Founders' Dirty Bastard however is unique in that it definitely offers a nice hoppy finish.
Once the cap has been popped off, the aroma is fruity with some caramel sweetness. The beer pours out a lovely rich brown color with a decent, bubbly one-finger head. Please do not be alarmed if you see some sediment floating in your beer glass. Founders does not filter their beer, much like Harpoon's 'Unfiltered Offering' line.
The first sip is quite smooth and tastes like molasses and caramel. Once gulped, you get some punch from the hops. The beer's taste is quite unique due to the 7 types of malts used – a lot of sweet flavors present themselves, ranging from caramel to vanilla to chocolate – however do not expect this beer to be as flavorful, sweet or smooth as a stout or porter.
After nursing this beer for a few sips you can feel your body temperature rise. A nice warm feeling envelopes you as you gulp down the 8.5 ABV ale. I would certainly not want to be sipping this by myself on the hottest day of the year in the Summer. Although available year-round, I would definitely purchase this one solely in the colder months of Autumn and Winter. This Scotch Ale lends itself to being a great after dinner sipper, perhaps by the fireplace engaging in some deep meaningful conversation about what a sud truly means to you.

Matricaria discoidea, commonly known as pineappleweed,wild chamomile, and disc mayweed is an annual plant native to North America and Northeast Asia but which has become a cosmopolitan weed. It is in the family Asteraceae. The flowers exude a chamomile/pineapple aroma when crushed. They are edible and have been used in salads (although they may become bitter by the time the plant blooms) and to make herbal tea. Pineapple weed has been used for medicinal purposes, including for relief of gastrointestinal upset, infected sores, fevers, and postpartum anemia.
The flower head is cone-shaped, composed of dense-packed yellowish-green corollas, and lacking ray-florets. The leaves are pinnately dissected and sweet-scented when crushed. The plant grows 2 to 16 inches (5.1 to 40.6 cm) high. Flowerheads are produced from March to September.
The plant grows well in disturbed areas, especially those with poor, compacted soil. It can be seen blooming on footpaths, roadsides, and similar places in spring and early summer. In North America, it can be found from central Alaska down to California and all the way to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. It has also become common and naturalised in Britain

In April 2013 the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the landlord in the case of Johnson v Old, concerning the question of rent paid in advance and whether it counts as a deposit requiring protection.
The case concerned a tenant, Ms Old, who, as a result of her inability to meet the landlord's credit and income referencing requirements, was asked to pay six months rent in advance for a six month tenancy. The tenancy continued for three terms, and then became a periodic tenancy. Shortly afterwards the landlord served a section 21 notice in order to regain possession.
The tenant, however, insisted that the payments of six months' rent should be treated as deposits that had not been protected, and that the section 21 was therefore invalid and she was entitled to compensation. A County Court judge upheld the tenant's claim, but this ruling was overturned in the Court of Appeal.
What does the ruling mean?
The Court of Appeal's ruling upheld the landlord's right to ask for six months' rent in advance and for it not to be treated as a deposit.
The Court posed the question of how the tenant would have reacted had they been asked to pay rent for one of the months covered by the six months that had already been paid. The Judge concluded the response would have been that the rent had already been paid.
The final part of the case focused on the question of whether or not the money had been properly protected - but, as the Court had already found that the money did not constitute a deposit, this was ultimately deemed irrelevant.
What does the case mean for landlords?
Johnson v Old has three main implications that landlords should consider.
To win the same argument it is vital that tenancy agreements are well drafted. Johnson v Old was complicated by a poorly drafted document. Had the tenancy been better written, it is likely that the case would never have gone so far.
Landlords are free to ask for several months' rent in advance, and this is a reasonable response in circumstances in which a tenant cannot pass credit referencing requirements.
Provided the tenancy agreement is correctly drafted and the payment is genuinely rent paid in advance, then is unlikely to be treated as a deposit, and it is therefore unlikely that it will need to be protected.

Roll Necks & Trousers
Trousers| Trainers | Jumper | Hat
How do full time fashion bloggers come up with blog post titles? I genuinely considered calling this post "The One with Clothes" but alas, I digress...
I spend a large portion of my time on pinterest and unfortunately my favourite outfits are often quite Scandi inspired but seem to look best on a size 6-8 and as someone who is certainly not a 6-8, I decided to pull inspiration from it and put together an outfit that was wearable and super cute.
These trousers are incredibly comfortable because they have an elastic waist which almost makes them feel like leggings - I sized up so they're slightly baggy but they look amazing with the jumper which again is ever so slightly oversized and the chunky knit adds another element to the outfit.
This look was just calling out for a hat and this hat from Zara is so unique in colour that it adds something to the outfit - something that isn't monochrome. And the Stan Smiths which are a "classy" trainer, make the outfit more casual and less formal.

Tuition and Fees
It is the strong desire of the school leadership team to make Christian Montessori affordable to all children who desire to attend. Our rates are extremely competitive with many of the other area Montessori schools, not because our program, staff, or environments are inferior, but because we consider ourselves a ministry.
Tuition and fees for Christian Montessori only cover a portion of the actual costs. We depend upon the generosity of private donors, and fundraising events to make up the difference. As a 501 (c) 3 organization all donations are tax deductible.

Project • Ongoing
Cash Barometer
The potential of cash transfer programming has been demonstrated many times over. But how does the humanitarian "cash revolution" present itself to the intended beneficiaries? What concerns do affected people have and how can their perspectives help inform a more effective roll-out of cash-based assistance? To find out, we partnered with the Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) to launch the Cash Barometer.
The Cash Barometer combines standardised face-to-face surveys with qualitative data collection to monitor how people affected by humanitarian crises perceive the distribution of cash – as an alternative to, or used in tandem with, other forms of aid.
The Cash Barometer was first deployed in Afghanistan. We have since conducted cash transfer surveys in Turkey and Kenya. While each country provides a unique context in which cash is transferred using different systems, some findings apply to all. In Kenya and Turkey, for example, between 80 and 90 percent of recipients said they were unaware of how aid agencies decide who should receive cash assistance. Other findings were limited to individual contexts. Additional cash transfer surveys are slated to be carried out.

I have permission to start something.
We have now entered the Shadow Guardian Arc.
People are welcome to make their own shadow Guardian.
Only 5 are allowed. I have already made 2 Shadow Guardians.
If all 7 spots are full, the last is welcome to be the leader. That person must be really good at dueling.
Any questions?

The ancient Romans were on to something when they invented panis focacius, an oven-baked flatbread and ancestor of the modern pizza. Add a few centuries and the all-important tomato and now we're talking about a true classic of international gastronomy.
Perhaps you've tried your hand at pizza-making at home and been disappointed by irregular, underbaked crusts or soggy toppings. Good news: a few key techniques and some inexpensive equipment are all it takes to improve your pizza skills (and pizza outcomes) immensely. Reference Librarian and avid baker Franklin Walther will show you how to make your own crust, sauce, and toppings from scratch, and yes, we will bake several pizzas in class, and yes, we will be eating them.

So…it just might be possible that I planned this particular Style 3-Play specifically so that I could show off my fabulous new Michael Kors bag!! ;D
As I mentioned in my "Summer Black Look One" post, the classic combination of black with white is a relatively effortless way to make the sombre colour feel more seasonal. The second option I'm featuring today?? Add some hits of black with your accessories!!
In smaller doses, black has a wonderful way of "grounding" and giving a bit of edge to more ethereal looks; home decorators, for example, will often use touches of black to finish an otherwise all-white or neutral room. I've done something similar here by adding my black cut-out booties, a black studded belt and my yummy black bag to this patterned, ruffle-hemmed Billabong dress!!
This dress is kind of the definition of summery, don't you think?? And the high-low hem – of which I'm honestly not always a fan! – looks especially pretty when its wearer is on the move; yes, I admit to twirling a few times for these photos!!
But I've got to admit that my Michael Kors masterpiece, which I found in pristine condition at a consignment store for an insanely good price, is the newest apple of my eye!! Tell me, dear readers…can you feel the love?!

What were some of the "Hot" diet trends? Let me know what you tried and how it worked (or didn't) for you.
One of the top ones I kept hearing people talk about was the GLUTEN-FREE DIET. In the past I had people come in who were on a gluten-free diet because they had an intolerance to gluten. Even though they had been gluten-free for years, it certainly didn't help them lose weight or even maintain their weight. If you have a problem with gluten, it would be very important to eliminate it, but unless you substitute fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, lean protein, and legumes for the processed foods with gluten don't expect weight loss just because you eliminate gluten. If you are replacing gluten with corn and rice, you most likely will gain weight. Be really careful how manufacturers use these popular diets to sell their product! Just because a product says "Gluten-free" does not mean it's a healthy choice. Read those ingredients and better yet buy fresh and you won't have labels to read!
A few of the other popular diets were the Paleo Diet, the Detox Diet, and the Blood Type Diet. A good rule is if one food group is totally eliminated or if the diet suggest eating large amounts of one food group, the diet is probably not healthy and/or will be impossible to follow for any length of time. Balance is the key to diet as well as life!

Orfeo ed Euridice
Azione teatrale per musica in three acts
(Version Vienna 1762)
Music by
Christoph Willibald Gluck
Text by
Ranieri de' Calzabigi
Few works have had such a profound influence on the development of opera as Christoph Willibald Gluck's »Orfeo ed Euridice«, which premiered in Vienna in 1762. It exemplifies a whole host of contemporary operatic reforms. The traditional »opera seria« was challenged and to a certain extent superseded by Gluck's »azione teatrale«, which emphasised natural, authentic expression by the characters. The opera tells the story of Orpheus, who charms the gods of the underworld with his song in order to persuade them to bring his beloved Eurydice back to life. The myth of Orpheus has been one of the most popular themes in opera from the genre's origins right through to the present day. Gluck's version presented the story in a completely new way, with an unprecedented dramatic realism that allowed audiences to enter deeply into the characters' emotional worlds.
At the grave of Eurydice, Orpheus mourns the death of his beloved wife, while a group of mourners enacts the funeral rite. In despair, he turns to the gods and demands that they return Eurydice to him. Amor appears as Jupiter's messenger and reports to Orpheus that he can bring Eurydice back from the underworld, but only if he refrains from looking at his beloved until they have left the world of darkness. Orpheus accepts this condition, although he doubts that Eurydice will understand his behavior.
Before the gate to Hades, the ghastly Furies block Orpheus' way to the underworld. But he succeeds in placating the hellish figures with his song, so that they allow him to pass to Elysium. When he arrives, Orpheus extols the beauty of Elysium in song, but his thoughts are focused on the search for Eurydice. He finds his loved one and is determined to lead her from the underworld following the instructions of Jupiter and Amor.
Orpheus asks the incredulous Eurydice to follow his instructions without question and to leave the underworld with him. But soon she complains about the lacking affection of her husband and demands that he looks at her. Orpheus refuses to look and tries to resist Eurydice's complaints. Disappointed that Orpheus is keeping a secret from her, she threatens rather to die than to live with him unloved. At that, Orpheus' resistance crumbles and Eurydice dies a second time. Unable to fathom the renewed loss of Eurydice, Orpheus decides to end his life. Then Amor appears and calls Eurydice back to life as a reward for Orpheus' fidelity.

How many continents are there? If you're like me, your automatic response is 7. How can it be anything else? North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. Well, this week I learned while that is the "correct" answer, it's really only correct in the US. Education systems teach different number of continents depending on the cultural understanding of what a continent is. This number ranges from 4 to 7. Here in Costa Rica, they teach there are 6 continents: North and South America are one together. This concept blew my mind. How crazy is it that the world cannot even agree on such a trivial idea? Little did I know that this was nothing compared to the upcoming trip to Nicaragua and how it would expand my mind.
Before we went on our trip, we got to learn some folkloric dancing from Costa Rica. A group of women in traditional dress showed us some of the traditional dances from different regions of Costa Rica. After their presentation, the women shared some of their long skirts with us and hats for the guys in the group. We got to learn the steps to various dances. It was a lot of fun, but those skirts were very toasty!
On Friday, at the bright hour of 6 in the morning, we left to go to Nicaragua. The trip was very long and crossing the border got very confusing. At first they wanted us to stay on the bus, then get off the bus, then get back on. It was crazy but we got everything figured out in the end. We finally got to Nicaragua around 6 that evening and got settled in.
Nicaragua was a beautiful country in so many ways. There were artists, street performers, and people flooding the streets. The atmosphere was welcoming and electric. They even had TVs sitting outside the bars with the World Series Games on. With all the beauty also came a lot of suffering. While my SOLmates ate, children would come up begging for some of our food in exchange for little flowers or insects made from palms. Others would bring necklaces and hammocks to your table asking for us to buy their products so they can make a living. It was hard to say no to so many people who needed the help.
Fortunately, there is this great place in Granada to help those suffering. It is the Hammock Project started by a man who had a dream to start a restaurant. At this place he hires young adults and teens no longer in school (about 16 years old) to make hammocks. This people struggle to find jobs and this project gives them the opportunity to earn the money they make safely. We had the opportunity to help weave some of the hammocks during our trip. We even got to help weave a hammock made of plastic bags. This idea originated because Nicaraguans say the national flower of Nicaragua is "the plastic bag". These bags flood the streets. This project is helping clean the streets while also making beautiful artwork.
This project also helps women stuck in abusive relationships. The founder explained to us how one day, a woman entered into his shop after being horrible beaten by her husband. When asked why she wouldn't leave her husband, she explained how her children would not have food the next day if she left. This pattern is common in Costa Rica. Women are stuck in relationships due to economic struggles. Just in the 3 days I was there I witnessed the injustices women face every day in Nicaragua. It was horrible to see and feel completely helpless. The founder of the Hammock Project did not like that feeling either and started a program where these women who have children with disabilities or in bad relationships can gain economic freedom from their spouses. They make purses by hand which the store then sells. It was such an inspirational experience.
This man did not stop here though. We were fortunate to eat at his restaurant called Café de las Sonrisas (smiles café). It was not just an ordinary place though. All the workers at this restaurant are deaf. They cannot hear and cannot read lips. It gives opportunities to those who have disabilities to still provide for themselves. Life is hard enough as it is as a deaf person, let alone the difficulties in finding a job. It was amazing how devoted this man was to helping those in need in Nicaragua. He said to us "you will fall in love with Nicaragua, but it will also break your heart". He could not have been more accurate in this statement. In the markets there were people starving, animals suffering, and a lot of unsanitary actions (meat was not refrigerated at all). It was hard to see animals being carried to be slaughtered and to see kids sitting by the road waiting for food. It put a lot into perspective.
Nicaragua has been one of my favorite trips this semester. It opened up my eyes to many of the injustices that people suffer every day. We also learned more about the country of Nicaragua, seeing an active volcano, a lake (which you should not swim in due to unsanitary purposes), and caves underneath the volcanoes. It was an inspirational experience, and more than just adding another stamp to my passport. I would love to return one day to learn more about the culture and people.

Core business:
The Empower Factory is an expertise and consulting agency specialized in self-management and empowerment. Think of: Resilience, self-guidance, authenticity, willpower, independence, inner leadership or personal branding. Together with our customers, we co-create effective and affordable programs that are designed to get the very best out of people and organizations. Self-guidance and self-management are the perfect starting points.
The Empower Factory brings out the best in people and organizations. We offer our clients all the tools needed to control life independently and to make their own choices in the areas of employment, housing, health, income, relationships and personal branding. The Empower Factory makes people stronger, more independent and happier.
We can do a lot more than we think. Unfortunately, there are only a few people who are really in a position to get the best out of themselves. We are often primarily concerned with others and are too little in touch with ourselves. If other people make decisions for you, you are no longer being true to yourself and this always results in setbacks or disappointments. You are the only person in the world who can change that. Pushing your life in the right direction again – where you want to go. How? By choosing for yourself again. To achieve this, you need to make changes and say goodbye to ingrained habits and beliefs. It's now the time you step out of your comfort zone and regain control and start making choices which really suit you. Scary, you say? At The Empower Factory, we got your back. That is why we guide you with successful custom programs. At The Empower Factory, you are never alone.
In our 'factory', we combine proven effective services and products and integrate them in custom personal programs. We do this for both individuals and businesses and always combined. We zoom in on you and we check what you need to make any changes permanent. Of course, we work exclusively with certified suppliers. Our programs always contain various building blocks and we address both physical and mental health. We use educational programs, technologies and special revitalization travels.
The essence of our approach is experience, confrontation, inspiration and happiness. We do this with boot camps, survival expeditions in teams, special coaching styles, hotspotting and the new generation of mobile devices that can be worn on the body. On the page Building Blocks, you will find a selection of our programs. Our approach is not a therapy or treatment. We use active and refreshing methods to help you (re)think in challenges and to deal with restrictions positively. Sometimes solo, sometimes in groups of up to three participants. All professionals who work for The Empower Factory, want our customers to have a better life. That is why you receive a lot of personal attention from us with a high dose of humor.
We understand that behavioral changes do not happen overnight. That is why our programs last between 6 to 18 months. In practice, this amounts to an investment of an average of three hours per week under supervision, on-site or remote. This allows us to monitor behavior, to redirect and to adapt, where necessary. We bring our services in or as close as possible to your house and/or work environment. Our support is largely face-to-face, but we also make use of modern communication techniques.
Building Blocks
Physical Factory
Scientific research shows that all performances improve when the body is in good condition. Being fit increases independence, self-confidence, self-esteem and perseverance and prevents diseases and decline. That is why we select the best services and products in the field of physical fitness in the Physical Factory. Think of various personal trainings and advice on food, supplements, lifestyle, sleep, massage, healthy air, (sun) light, detoxification or immune system amplifiers. Boot camps, survivals or training sessions on the work floor can also be a part of this.
Mental Factory
Mental fitness equals mental resilience. Increasing mental strength can be achieved through special coaching methods or mental energizers, supported by training in a problem-solving way of thinking and fueling emotional intelligence or resilience. Getting the best out of yourself also means forgetting old patterns of thinking and acting. Instead, we offer new self-management strategies and remove obstacles. The result: creative and fresh ways of thinking and doing, even in the event of restrictions and setbacks.
Techno Factory
Measuring is knowing and knowing is the beginning of awareness. We make use of technology that people really helps. For example, technology that warns when people start falling, hyper ventilating, getting lost or having a panic attack. Technology that contributes to self-management and enables people to intervene themselves, thereby preventing them getting into worse situations. We can do this, for example, with different smartphone self-management applications, smart watches, fit-trackers, medical and healthcare apps and tele- or video guidance. In that way, you are never alone and you keep in touch with your supervisors.
Education Factory
Trailing knowledge or the absence of the right skills impede the daily operation in people's lives. Education is therefore important. Think of health-promoting training, insight into financial planning, but also educational games for children with behavioral disorders. We mostly offer knowledge education in an online environment. The unlearning of old habits and the learning of new skills is always done face-to-face.
Revitalize Factory
Sometimes it is important to get away from it all. We take you to a lovely relaxing place, with an oasis of peace and tranquility of the sea, surrounded by beautiful nature and complete privacy. Destressing, relaxation, detoxification and finding the balance between body and mind, are the key elements here. Prior to the trip, we will create a program with you to combine wellbeing and relaxation with exercise, coaching and training, provided by life coaches and personal trainers who will join you on your (discovery) travel.
Self-guidance, resilience, own control, willpower, self-reliance, self-management, inner strength, independence, self-confidence, happiness, quality of life, meaningfulness, recharge, inner leadership, inspiration, energy, flow

On a cool, sunny, winter solstice morning, my husband and I disembarked at the Place des Abbesses métro station and gasped with delight. We were greeted by one of eighty-seven Art Nouveau métro entrances in Paris. This one, consisting of a display of lacy, iron, filigreed flowers and figures, ushered us onto the streets of Montmartre. This village, perched on a hill above Paris, was the ... Read Full Article

1) Extract URLs Using Browser Console
>> Extract URLs & Corresponding Anchor Text
The following is a cross-browser supported code for extracting URLs along with their anchor text.
var urls=$$('a'); for(url in urls){ console.log("#"+url+" > "+urls[url].innerHTML +" >> "+urls[url].href) }
>> Extract Links with their anchor text (For Chrome & Firefox)- Styled version
If you are using Chrome or Firefox use the following code for a styled version of the same.
var urls=$$('a'); for(url in urls){ console.log("%c#"+url+" > %c"+urls[url].innerHTML +" >> %c"+urls[url].href,"color:red;","color:green;","color:blue;"); }
>> Extract URLs Only
And if you want to extract just the links without the anchor text, then use the following code.
var urls=$$('a'); for(url in urls) console.log(urls[url].href);
>> Extract External URLs Only
External Links are the ones that point outside the current domain. If you want to extract the external URLs only, then this is the code you need to use.
var links = $$('a'); for (var i = links.length - 1; i > 0; i--) { if (links[i].host !== location.host) { console.log(links[i].href); } }
>> Extract URLs with a specific extension
If you would like to extract links having a particular extension then paste the following code into the console. Pass the extension wrapped in quotes to the getLinksWithExtension() function. Please note that the following code extracts links from HTML link tag only () and not from other tags such as a script or image tag.
function getLinksWithExtension(extension) { var links = document.querySelectorAll('a[href$="' + extension + '"]'), i; for (i=0; i<links.length; i++){ console.log(links[i]); } } getLinksWithExtension('mp3') //change mp3 to any extension
2) Online URL Extractor Website
There are situations when you cannot follow the above method such as when you are using a mobile. In situations like that, you can follow this trick. iwebtool is a great site that offers URL extraction along with other features such as selective extraction of inbound or outbound links, anchor text extraction, etc. You can make 10 requests per hour with the free version of the tool. Visit iwebtool link extractor to get started. Enter the url in the text box and wait for the site to extract the links.
Weblogcode URL Extractor is another useful tool for extracting links from website.
3) Extract URLs from block of text
Let's say you got a text file with a bunch of links in it and you are opening the links one by one. How boring it is? The answer to this tiring and monotonous work is multiple url opener tool by Codegena. To extract multiple urls from a text file:
- Go to Codegena URL Extractor and bulk url opener
- Paste the text into the text area and hit Linkify to generate clickable links.
- Click on "Open all url" button to automatically open all of the links in new tabs (allow popups to enable this feature)
You can also paste the source code of a website into this tool to extract the urls from it. However in such cases this tool will fail to extract relative links.
A similar tool is BuzzStream URL Extractor which also offers CSV export.
