Every day, MoneyWeek's executive editor John Stepek and guest contributors explain how current economic and political developments are affecting the markets and your wealth, and give you pointers on how you can profit.
House prices are now rising at a gentle 2.5% a year, according to the latest figures from Halifax.
Consumer price index inflation, meanwhile, is at 2.7%. Wage inflation – excluding bonuses – is rising at 2.9% (we talk about wage inflation in the latest MoneyWeek podcast – check it out here).
In other words, house prices are now falling in "real" terms.
Are we on our way to our hoped-for "soft" landing?
The housing market doesn't lack for analysis
To get an idea of how important house prices are to the UK economy, you merely need glance at the number of indices we have that claim to track prices in one way or another.
For inflation, we have quite a few indices, but they're mostly variations on a theme from the Office for National Statistics (a cynic might explain this as being the product of successive governments trying to gerrymander the figures lower – I won't comment).
Similarly, for employment, you'll get the odd private sector survey – recruitment agencies talking about ease of hiring and wages, for example – but largely we all focus on the official data again.
But when it comes to house prices – you're spoiled for choice. You could be reading about a new survey every other week.
We've got Rightmove, which looks at asking prices. We've got mortgage approvals, which looks at – well, mortgage approvals. We've got the official house price index from the ONS.
We've got the niche indices from upmarket estate agents, that look at prime central London property, or country houses. We've got Hometrack, which looks at trends across UK cities.
But probably the best known pair of indices – partly because they have some of the longest histories – are the ones compiled by Nationwide and Halifax. These two take their data from somewhere in the middle of the buying process.
So the latest Halifax house price index will probably grab a few headlines this morning. Prices apparently fell by 1.4% in the month of September, which is a big drop compared with expectations.
Looking at the month-on-month figure is fairly pointless. It's quite a "noisy" data set. However, the year-on-year data is equally striking. In the three months to September, prices rose by 2.5% compared to the same quarter last year. Analysts had expected a rise of 3.4%.
That means not only that house price growth is still slowing (last time, according to Halifax, the annual growth rate was 3.7%), but also that house price growth is now firmly below inflation.
In other words, house prices are falling in "real" terms.
Why a soft landing would be better for buyers and owners
This is good news. You want this to continue. Here's why.
From the homeowner's point of view, you shouldn't really care that much about what happens to the price of your house as long as you can continue to pay your mortgage.
But that's not the way things work. No one likes to see the value of their home fall, particularly if it then puts them into negative equity. So there's a psychological impact from falling house prices, which is not great for consumer confidence, and spending.
Moreover, widespread, sharp falls in house prices tend to be symptomatic of something else – usually surging interest rates and a struggling economy. Rising borrowing costs not only push up mortgage bills, they also squeeze over-indebted businesses. That drives up unemployment and results in more forced sellers.
So a big house price crash is a messy way to get back to some sort of sensible housing market.
Instead, if the price of your house stays broadly flat, but your wages go up, then you don't get the psychological hit from a falling house price, and hopefully your mortgage also becomes more affordable relative to your pay packet. That's ideal.
Meanwhile, if you're frustrated by the unaffordability of property, then you might hope for a big crash. And I sympathise. Trouble is, getting a home loan when prices are crashing tends to be difficult. That's why the inflationary option can be more attractive even for those who don't already own property.
Basically, you want your wages to rise more rapidly than prices. If prices are flat or gently falling but your wages are rising, then it gets easier to save for a deposit.
So having made the case – will this continue?
The good news is that a lot of heat has come out of the market. Buy-to-let investment is much less attractive these days. Not only are the tax changes still coming through, the fact that house prices are no longer soaring – and therefore no longer seen as a "sure thing" – will reduce the appeal of property as an investment.
Meanwhile, one thing mitigating against prices falling hard is that, despite mortgage rates ticking higher, as Samuel Tombs of Pantheon Economics points out, "households can offset the impact of rising mortgage rates on monthly repayments by taking out longer maturity loans, while payments as a share of disposable incomes still are low by past standards." He reckons that means that we're unlikely to see big falls in prices at a nationwide level.
Overall, I think a prolonged period of single-digit house price falls and above-inflation wage gains would be a nice way out of this affordability problem.
I think it's a definite possibility. That said, I'll admit that the experts at our recent property roundtable were less optimistic than me. But we can always hope.

YouTube Fails In Its Fight Against Disinformation
Jennifer Grygiel, assistant professor of communications in the Newhouse School, was quoted in the Pro Publica article "YouTube Promised to Label State-Sponsored Videos But Doesn't Always Do So."
More than 60 Syracuse University students gaining practical experience through JPMorgan Chase Summer Internship ProgramJuly 09, 2009Kelly Homan email@example.com
This summer, Syracuse University students-with a broad spectrum of majors from information technology to management and engineering to visual arts-are gaining valuable practical experience through the JPMorgan Chase 2009 Summer Internship Program.
Sixty-four students are engaged in internships:
Students from five schools and colleges at SU-the School of Information Studies (iSchool), the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (LCS), the Whitman School of Management, The College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Visual and Performing Arts-are participating in the program
Through the 10-week internship, which runs through Aug. 7, the students are gaining hands-on experience by working alongside JPMorgan Chase employees in the areas of technology, operations and finance. Interns are also paired with peer mentors and have the opportunity to hear and learn from the company's leaders. Within the India program, student interns, all natives of India, are learning within JPMorgan Chase's expanding operations in the country.
Students were selected from the iSchool, Whitman and LCS to participate in the India internship. Leading up to the final selection of students, JPMorgan Chase surveyed students who were eligible to work in India and hosted focus groups on campus to determine the interest in and expectations for the summer internship program.
"Despite a difficult year for the financial industry, JPMorgan Chase's strong commitment to Syracuse University resulted in an increase in amazing opportunities for our students with their company," says Michael Cahill, director of SU's Center for Career Services. "These internships provide students with an understanding of how to apply their various academic backgrounds and talents to the workplace, and the experience they will gain will make them much more marketable upon graduation."
"JPMorgan Chase continues to seek unique opportunities to source, select and hire the best talent," says Jill Pineiro, global director of the Corporate Development Program for JPMorgan Chase. "The Syracuse University Internship Program continues to be an excellent pipeline. In 2008, nine of the 31 SU interns accepted full-time positions with JPMorgan Chase after graduation."
Srividya Srinivasan of Medway, Mass., a senior majoring in mechanical engineering in LCS, is a second-year participant in the program. She worked as a business analyst last year, and Srinivasan this year is working as a technology analyst in investment management in New York City.
"This year, I want to broaden my skills and become more familiar with the technology side. I have made it known to my manager that I want to focus on these technical skills during my summer experience," she says. "Having interned at JPMorgan Chase for two years, I can say from first-hand experience that there are plenty of opportunities to grow within this financial company."
Brian Scasserra of Skillman, N.J., a senior in the Whitman School, heard very good things from the SU students who interned with JPMorgan Chase last summer. "The primary reason I chose this internship was that I knew I would be working for the best bank in the world in one of the worst job markets and financial situations since the Great Depression," he says. "I know that having an internship with JPMorgan Chase on my resume in a very rough summer for jobs will be a big help to me."
Scasserra is based in New York City, working for the Prime Brokerage business within the Investment Bank. "I've found it to be a very interesting business, and I really enjoy the exposure to the hedge fund world," he says.
Bhawana Bhatnagar, a graduate student in the iSchool from Mumbai, India, is currently engaged in an internship in Mumbai, where she is working in close coordination with the Investment Bank Risk Management Team and the Foreign Exchange and Global Reference Data Teams. Her role is to find scope for business process reengineering and automation in the teams' current manual processes in order to save both effort and costs.
"This internship is proving to be a great learning experience and a well-structured program," says Bhatnagar. "The HR management here has closely studied our areas of interest and tried to map our roles to these interests. I am receiving guidance from time to time for my progress and am being mentored by the executive director in the Investment Banking domain here. I think I will have a lot to take away at the end of this 10-week program."
About the CollaborationIn June 2007, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Syracuse University established a unique corporate-university collaboration and joint venture. The purpose of the collaboration is to develop education and work experience innovations in the area of financial services information technology, leveraging each other's knowledge and expertise in the building of a best in class curriculum for entry-level technologists and to collaborate on projects of joint interest that provide value to both organizations and to society.

Last month according to the latest Android distribution figures, it was revealed that Android 7.0 Nougat was sitting at around 2.8% of all Android devices. However fast forward to April, it seems that those numbers have improved rather drastically because according to the Android Developer website, Nougat is now sitting at 4.9%.
To be more specific, Android 7.0 itself is at 4.5% while Android 7.1 is at 0.4%. This is compared to the previous month where Android 7.0 was at 2.4%, although interestingly enough Android 7.1 remained the same at 0.4%. So far based on the latest figures, Nougat is the only update that has seen an increase in distribution figures.
Older builds of Android such as Android 6.0 Marshmallow dropped from 31.3% to 31.2% which we guess is almost negligible. This appears to be the same as other older Android builds like Android 5.x Lollipop which dropped by 0.5%, while KitKat dropped by 0.8%, and Jelly Bean by around 0.5%.
We can only assume that OEMs and carriers pushing out the Nougat update in recent times had something to do with this increase, along with the release of new Nougat-based handsets, but either way it's a good thing, although admittedly the latest build of Android is still a very far cry from Apple's iOS distribution numbers.

Things to take on board before extending your property
This is the most important part, If a budget is put in place this will benefit you. You should sit down and decide how you would like your house to look like or feel. The budget should include, interior finish, I.e kitchen fitouts, flooring and architect fees. Once a budget is set the aim would be to stick to it. A lot of people can go wrong when a budget has not been put in place from the offset.
What is your desired outcome?
Are you looking to have structural alterations to make your house open plan, a loft conversion, adding extra bedrooms for new arrivals or a new office in your home?
The right to privacy and light
When your local authority validates your planning they will send out consultation letters to your neighbours. Your neighbours have the right to add their comments and may attempt to hinder your application by raising the issue of sunlight being blocked, or that a window is overlooking into their property.
Your neighbour by law has a right to light and privacy which an easement not a restrictive covenant. An easement by English law is rights one individual has over another land. Easements override any planning permission you may have therefore it is critical that your design of your property is duly designed to overcome this barrier.
Minimum Ceiling Heights
All rooms should have a height of at least 2.1m-finished ceiling heght throughout the room. It is essential to get the planning right before building. If you're planning to convert your loft you should take into consideration the joists which will be used, typically joist size for the floor are 8by2 treated timber and ceiling.
If you're planning to building a single storey extension you can build a flat roof. The more go to roof style is a gable pitched roof. A gable pitched roof is sloped and provides excellent water drainage as opposed to flat roof. A gable pitched roof tends to have fewer leaks and has a longer life expectancy. The most promising advantage to a gable roof it provides the most ceiling space. Houses in the United Kingdom majority of ceiling heights are 2.5m having a gable roof extension will give the extension a much higher ceiling.
Avoid breaking rooms
Design is a really key element an extension can be a very hard challenge. Sacrificing more than you will be gaining will not be worth it. If your breaking a double bedroom to make a lobby to enter your extension which gives you an extra bedroom of the similar size will not be worth it. When you break a room to gain access into the extension you're normally making a corridor, which is a waste of space.
The kitchen is a main selling point of a house. Your Kitchen should not be compromised when it comes to space, The kitchen and living rooms should all be accessed directly from the main hallway and not a lobby to get to it.
Party Wall Notice
A party wall agreement is a document produced by the two party wall surveyors acting for the owners of the land.You will need a party wall agreement if your extension included excavations or alterations near a neighbours boundary. There are certain requirements as to when you need a party wall agreement. Visit planning portal for more advice. The owner of the land planning to build the extension will normally pay the cost for party wall surveyors which your neighbour appoints.
Do you need to move out?
Normally the answer is no, we work around if your planning to do a two storey conversion and a loft conversion we will normally work from out first putting up the structure and break through I part by part not exposing your house. However your house requires structural alterations for example a two storey extension and opening the full house downstairs it would be advisable to move out, 1. The job will get messy and 2. For health and safety. We will stage the work to avoid disruption, before the project starts or has been tendered the manager will let you know if you need to move and an approximate date.

Three-Dimensional Kenny Scharf
Pace Prints will exhibit new three-dimensional works in paper by the renowned pop artist Kenny Scharf. Titled plain and simple "Kenny Scharf", the show will open on October 10, showcasing a series of energetic relief works in a more "hands-on" method. Each three-dimensional face has its own personality adorned with wild emotion and vivid color. Though Scharf's brightly colored imagery is generally playful, serious themes exist beneath the surface, visible upon closer inspection. In his series of large unique works on paper, Scharf sourced 30 years of collected newspaper headlines and advertisements, creating a series of two-dimensional grounds with highly political content. Layering headline over headline, their individual connotations soften in multitude, markedly when paired with Scharf's signature cartoon faces. This cocktail of manic Pace Face personas and collaged items highlights the artist's surrealist ideals.
Kenny Scharf's Pop Surrealism
Kenny Scharf is a prolific artist who has worked in many traditional media, including painting, printmaking, drawing and sculpture. He rose to prominence alongside his contemporaries Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring in the East Village art scene of the 1980s. Scharf is considered as one of the artists who introduced imagery from the animated cartoons and pop culture into the fine arts. He calls his art Pop Surrealism. Being a true child of the television age, Scharf's work is greatly influenced by cartoon characters such as The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Through a kind of eclecticism, the famous artist attempts to discover how far he can push the line between high and low art.
"Kenny Scharf" show will run until November 8 in one of Pace Prints' NYC galleries at 521 West 26th Street.

Changes to IOTA Rules
The IOTA Contest takes place on 28 and 29 July and there are some important rules changes for participants. The scoring for Island-World and World-World QSOs has changed, to increase the importance of working island stations. The World Multi-op category has been discontinued. A QSY rule for Island Multi-Op stations has been introduced, because some entrants have been operating with more than one multiplier station. Finally, low power expedition entrants are now allowed to use any antenna. The 2012 rules are on the Contest Committee section of the RSGB website. All operators are asked to please be careful to use contest preferred band segments, as penalties will be applied to stations who do not observe these limits.

These adorable puppies sure have seen a lot of ugly things.
Twenty of them were found abandoned in a Saskatchewan field by a hunter on Friday. The large-breed pups, believed to be between four and six weeks old, were all hungry, cold, flea-bitten and dehydrated when Greg Zubiak found them on a towel near Glaslyn. Shocked by what he had discovered, Zubiak quickly wrapped them in his jacket and brought the pups to the local humane society.
"As I walked around the truck I could see two little eyes looking at me and I could see it was puppies," he told The Globe and Mail. "So then all of them looked at me and I was shocked. All I said was, 'okay, come on,' and as I said that, they all got up and made their way towards me howling and barking."
Shelter manager Michelle Spark believes the dogs may have been left as coyote bait. But thanks to Zubiak, they've amounted to a lot more than that. The Battleford Humane Society says that since word of the abandoned pups got out, there have been more than 50,000 views of its Facebook page, while 300 people and groups from as far away as Mexico have been offering to help. Additionally, as many as half of the puppies have already been adopted.
And if you're wondering about who left the dogs outside in the first place, the humane society says it has since received a tip about who the puppies might have belonged to. The organization says it passed the information along to the Saskatchewan SPCA to investigate.
Because as the old saying goes, every dog has its day.

Analysing Chocolate Rheology Using ICA Method 46 and Casson Model
Application Note Sep 11, 2019
Chocolate is a complex multi-phase product consisting of fat, milk, cocoa powder and sugar, as well as other additive such as emulsifiers and flow modifiers. Of critical importance for both the sensory characteristics (texture) and processing of chocolate is its rheology or viscosity, which is influenced by many factors including particle characteristics such as size and shape, as well as fat composition and structure.
To date, the Casson model has been widely used to characterize the flow properties of Chocolate. This model is used to assess differences in chocolate flow properties that can be appropriated to the behavior during processing such as pump-ability and slump characteristics.
In this application note, chocolate samples were analyzed using the aforementioned method and the results discussed.

I Clean my house daily. Why do I need 9Ts Deep Cleaning Services?
What you or your maid does daily is mere aesthetic(Visual/artistic) cleaning, whereas 9Ts Deep Cleaning provides deep and total cleaning with professional cleaning materials and equipments (For e.g. Powerful Vacuum Cleaner, Floor Scrubbing Machines).
Can you clearly explain the difference between aesthetic and deep cleaning?
Let's take example of your bed and mattress. You may be changing your bed sheet daily but do you know that you could be sharing our bed with millions of dust mites. How frequently you clean your mattress. Dirt and dust on mattresses cannot be removed without professional techniques and vacuum cleaning. There are many such places in your home our demo will help you to educate about deep total cleaning and hygiene at home.
When I can use 9Ts Deep Cleaning Services?
You can use 9Ts Deep Cleaning services regularly for your weekly/monthly/bimonthly/quarterly home cleaning as per your needs. You can also use our one shot service before and after party or weddings/festivals. We also provide one time service for move in and move out of the rented /own apartments. We recommend all people to get their house deep cleaned every 3 months.
Why I cannot pay my maid extra and get done these things?
Your maid do not have attitude for total deep cleaning & also professional equipments and cleaning supplies; so again you end up doing just aesthetic cleaning.

The principle of conversion is the conversion of communication via older communication protocols to standardized protocols.
The purpose of this conversion is to enable the unification of management using standard protocols for older devices which ensures maintenance of the investment – originally installed equipment can be left in operation and only communication is upgraded.
Among other things, we design, develop and deliver communication protocol converters for fuel dispensers.
Older dispensers communicate their own protocols of individual producers (so-called proprietary protocols). The conversion of these protocols to the standard communication protocol of a dispenser according to the IFSF (International Forecourt Standards Forum) standards enables the unification of control systems at gas stations, i.e. large-scale implementation of control systems for gas stations for the management of technology according to IFSF standards.

Effective Link Building in the New Era of Search Engine Ranking
Search engines have evolved and the focus is now entirely on quality. Google, with its new Penguin update, has sent out a clear message that if you want to stay in the good books of this search engine, you have to wear a white hat. As a result, one of the most effective SEO techniques, link building, has to be reconsidered and new strategies need to be implemented.
Links Must Appear Natural
"Natural" is the new buzz word in the link building industry. Links are like "likes" on FB. More the number of links, higher is supposed to be the popularity of your website.
In the new era, every link has to come from a site of reliable quality and it has to come naturally or build in a natural manner. This is adjudged by finding out the source of link, frequency of links, relevance and anchor text that brought the link to your site.
The search engine makes sure that the focus is on content and not on the anchor text alone. So, the focus now is on content that is unique, informative and worthy of receiving natural links. In other words, your best bet is always to earn links naturally but if you are like the millions of other small businesses who are too small or is in a sector that is not conducive to natural links, you must hire a knowlegeble white hat SEO firm to develope and build links for you in a manner that appears to be natural to Google.
Social media can be harnessed
One of the reasons why the services of social media marketing and optimization experts are so much in demand is because this channel has become a new hotspot for link building. Sharing and social signals can add a lot of value to your website.
Today, it is not just important to offer high quality content on your blogs, but it is also very essential to share information. You can leverage the potential of a bigger fan base, more number of likes and higher number of followers on social media platforms for effective backlinking.
Anchor text diversification
If all your links point to one anchor text, Google gets suspicious because that is not how natural link building functions and the search engine does not believe in coincidences.
The trick here is to diversify your anchor text and bring in links for all variations. So, when links are distributed all over the content, rather than concentrated on a few words, it seems more natural and your links become more valuable.
Link inner pages
It would also seem weird if all your links landed up on your home page. Inner pages of your website are now as important as your home page. Links need to be distributed all through your website.
Usually, the home page does not contain the actual content of your website. It is the inner pages that contain information. So, it only makes sense that natural links be present more on inner pages than home page.
This is the age of white hat link building and professionals can speed up the process of acquiring links in the most legitimate methods. There are numerous ways to naturally harness backlinks while keeping up with the rules laid out by search engines.
The SEO Company offers cost effective services for building links through manual directory submissions, manual social bookmarking, article submission, PR submission, search engine submissions, DMOZ submission, forum link building, blog commenting and others. You can optimize on your backlinking attempts by hiring the efficient service.
Contact The SEO Company for effective link building services.

Charlie and I have been in deep lately. With both of us working, his side job, homeschooling the girls, and being first time soccer parents. . . everything has taken a massive shift. The transitions in meal prepping/planning, very little down time, and a schedule that is full to the hour many days, has felt like a lot and a massive change in the amount of energy we have to give. However, considering all of that, I feel like we're weathering this new-normal really well.
Having to prioritize my time is hard. And I'm faced with a new struggle, one that every working Mama can identify with. But for me… it's leaving me reeling.
What do I miss? And what do I absolutely not miss?
(Wearing the prAna Pillar Pant)
I feel like this question is the one on my mind the most lately. Every training taken, class added, is time away. Time I used to always spend with the girls. Instead of using this ever present question as a new way to layer on guilt (hi, Mom Guilt, WHOA) I am instead using it as my indicator to pull back, be more intentional, to leave more room and less guilt for when I dive into new parts of my life. It's been a thoughtful decision to not jump into the guilt that is ever present, and instead turn towards my girls. Again and again.
One of the number one ways I am pulling back is through boundaries. Not just in the areas that iPhone is currently helping me with (the new phone update gives you the option to limit apps to a certain amount of time a day and it is HELPING a ton), but also in the rest of my life and relationships. Boundaries with time spent indoors, boundaries with my heart and how much I have to give my friends in this seasons, and mostly boundaries with my energy. I know that sounds a little out there and maybe hard to pin down. Especially in comparison to the boundaries I typically set that are concrete and easily measured. But once I named this boundary, it began to feel accessible, important, and often obvious.
(Wearing, and living in, the Cozy Up Sweatshirt by prAna)
One of the number one way's that this works for me, and mostly the way I can feel filling up my family, is by heading to the mountains. I've shared about this hiking spot before (one of my FAVORITES) HERE, and I have high hopes of getting up there one last time before the snow starts to fall. The whole drive up feels like an energetic shift from work-work-work, to conversion, music listening, lazy napping, and slowly letting my eyes start to take in the gorgeous PNW in those far away views instead of my phone right up close, or my notebook as I write classes and to-do lists. The shift in my heart is palpable, and in the deep connection I have with my girls', I feel it in them too. By the time we all pile out of the car and onto the trail, even our backpacks feel light.
Heather Meadows is an easy hike for kiddos, and has lots of ways to expand the hike to be more challenging (hi, Chain Lakes!) It's one of my girlies favorites thanks to the ever changing scenery, option to make it a short loop, and the incredible lakes and river along the way.
How do you create an Energetic Boundary:
- Identify where you want to expend and give more energy.
- List where you want to give less (worry, scrolling, picking fights, body anxiety; that my example list… hah)
- When you begin to feel yourself leaking what you've got into the list of places you have decided to grow this boundary. PULL BACK. This is the time to say no, turn away, or simply turn TWORDS what you have decided you want to give more energy to.
- That's it. It's a slow check in, regularly. That begins to feel easier and easier as you cultivate it.
(Wearing the Cozy Up Pant and Zip Up by prAna)
With Fall in FULL swing here, we cozied up for our hiking trip. Ditching layers as we climbed and adventured. Noeles current look of choice is a sweatshirt under her overalls, mine is my Pillar leggings with my Cozy Up Pant right over the top. I recently received these pieces from prAna and I haven't stopped wearing them. The hoodie is cozy and warm with a larger cut, natural oder reducing properties thanks to the hemp blend and has been ideal under my raincoat and with jeans for Soccer Games as well as on the trail. The Cozy Up Sweatshirt has become my go-to for everything. From 6am Yoga to long school days at the library. I have the blue, but am DYING for the yellow or red now too.
{For 25% off from now till the end of the year, enter my code: ABAUprAna25 at checkout!}
A huge thank to you to prAna for the work they do the new Cardiff Fleece line, made from a hemp-blend, is cozy, warm, easy to move in, and now comes in extended sizes as well. I recently wore my Cozy Up Sweatshirt four days straight after HIIT training… so I put it's natural odor reducing properties too the test (LIKE REALLY) and it held up amazingly well.
I love working with prAna and one of the biggest reasons is their dedication to sustainable clothing creation and fair trade and ethical work environments for their factory workers. This is MASSIVELY different than most clothing companies and they are a leader in making these changes in the industry. This line of hemp-blended materials is especially exciting because of the properties of hemp and growing hemp. It doesn't require any chemical pesticides or fertilizer, it's drought resistant and is beneficial to the soil it grows in. Another huge benefit is that famers are able to plant immediately into the same field after harvesting, this is not possible with many other crops.
This year prAna's slogan is "Clothing for a Positive Change." and it feels so in line with my heart this year too. Knowing when boundaries need to be set, change needs to happen, and when it's most important to pull back and be dedicated to the heart of what you know your priorities are. Thankful to be slowly learning my own, and inspired by the brands who are willing to put pave the way with their own important boundaries, energetic and otherwise, to create positive change in their industry. prAna is quick to share that there is more they could do, and dedicated to growing in their efforts every year. And in that I am inspired to do the same. Acknowledge where I can do more, and continue to find ways to grow my effort.
From now to the end of the year prAna is offering you 25% off with my code at checkout, and so much on their is cozy, gorgeous, functional, and sustainably created. Check out their site here, and use my code at checkout: ABAUprAan25
Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by prAna. All opinions are my own. I truly appreciate all the brands that support ethical and positive shifts for change. And huge thank you to Sweat Pink and Fit Approach for this amazing opportunity.

Marketing Bootcamp
In 6 months from "I should do it." to "I've done it."
What is a Bootcamp?
This is not a lecture that leaves you eager to start right now just to be overwhelmed by the daily to-do lists. This is not an outsourced service where everything is done for you but you never get the know-how.
During the Marketing Bootcamp, we train you to be the marketer of your company, who is able to plan a strategy and campaigns, do, measure and adjust them. By the end of the 6 months, you will know exactly what kind of marketing tools to use in your own business. You'll know how to communicate, where to get clients from and how to engage and keep them. Plus you will have all the content prepared by you and reviewed by us.
All this in a well-planned structure and roadmap so that you avoid clutter and emergency.
We'll stand by you!!
Like during sports training, you will not only have a trainer but also training buddies who inspire, motivate and help each other during and even after the Bootcamp, in a Mastermind group.
During the 6-month programme, you'll hear lectures about the techniques, trends and background of marketing. Then we'll have workshops where we brainstorm on how to make all of it happen in your business.
Finally, during the 1-on-1 consultations, your Trainer will help you put everything into practice. You'll have homework to do, which we always review and motivate you to go ahead. Your Expert Trainer will be available full time if you have any questions or want a campaign to be reviewed.
Your marketing roadmap in place
In the Bootcamp, we'll cover the whole marketing mix to build a solid base and processes for your business.
What is your product or service? How could we create a product-pyramid? What could be your entry product, your upsell and your premium offering? Are you sure your business model is the best? Is your pricing optimal, or could we increase your prices, could we create packages or a membership model?
How to attract leads, readers, clients? How to engage them and sell them more multiple times? How to get regular and good quality referrals? Should you blog and if yes, what? Which social media channel should you use and how to fill them with content if you have limited time? Is email marketing for you? But how to build a database after GDPR?
Are you sure you maximise all channels to reach your leads and clients? Do you follow up your leads if they don't get back to you (there's gold in there!)? There might be some channels where you could find great clients and you have never thought of.
You not only get an answer to all the above questions but we'll create a step-by-step roadmap and process for your own business to help you make it happen.
Your Personal Trainer: Timea Kadar
Her email marketing strategy resulted in the sales of thousands of insurance policies, with opening rates up to 76%. Blog posts written by her are read by up to 51,000 readers. She successfully pitched press publications including Forbes without prior contacts and is the author of a book about these techniques. All this knowledge will be yours and we hold your hand to put everything into practice.
Timea is a regular speaker at conferences like the Digital Travel Summit in London County Hall, workshops organised by WeWork or by London Councils. She trains entrepreneurs, marketers and copywriters at beginner and advanced levels. In her marketing agency, Content Bonum Limited they currently help the marketing of 23 companies with content, strategy, mentoring and consultation, and recently won the Best Inbound Marketing in London Award.
In the Bootcamp, the most efficient elements of each service are combined to create an incredibly powerful programme. We will not stop until you have the process and tools to make the most out of your business.
(In the picture Timea holds the Silver Tongue Award for the best business pitch.)
Timea's message to you
Price, terms and conditions
You'll have access to the whole 6-month programme with lectures, workshops, 1-on-1 consultations and mentoring from your Trainer for a daily £14 (!). The monthly fee is £431.
We want to work with entrepreneurs who see the value in the Bootcamp – and can make use of that. A marketing consultation starts at £1,000. Outsourcing copywriting, content creation cost a couple of thousands, another few thousand on registering for conferences and workshops – and none of those is tailored to your business. We create a system and roadmap that will work so that your business reaches its highest potential. During the three months, you'll have unlimited access to your trainer: you can ask us as much as you want and send us an unlimited number of campaigns and materials for revision and feedback. This is like having a dedicated senior marketing consultant for a daily £14!
What is included in the price?
Gamechanging lectures on the strong bases you'll build your strategy in the next months and years on. Business models, pricing, client acquisition, marketing psychology. Examples will be tailored to the business of the participants so no more 'It sounds good, but I can't use it.'
Personalised workshops where we brainstorm on how all the above could work in your business. You'll see actual steps and get homework to do.
Bespoke 1-on-1 consultations dedicated to checking your progress, review your homework and set further goals.
A strong Mastermind business group who progress with you and who inspire, motivate and help you. You can rely on their network, experience even after the Bootcamp.
The experience of 18 years and more than 1,000 campaigns and tests done for companies like Aegon, Reader's Digest, Erste Investment Bank.
Unlimited access to your Personal Trainer: during the 6 months you can call or email your trainer any time to ask her for consultation, motivation or a revision of your content. (This in itself is worth the price of the programme.)
Where & When
Due to the large distances many of you asked to make it available online. Therefore the lectures and the workshops will be available via an easily accessible videoconference system. We see each other just like in a meeting, but we don't have to spend time and money on travelling.
The 1-on-1 consultations will be fixed individually and will be done via Skype or personal meeting.
The next Bootcamp starts on 20 September 2018 and lasts for 6 months so that your 2019 can start with a powerful marketing strategy that won't fall apart.
How much commitment is it?
The Bootcamp requires you to be committed to be involved in the programme and prepare your homework. You are not supposed to skip a lecture or workshop because the Mastermind group counts on you and you will not be able to progress and succeed. You have to do the homework otherwise there is no point in getting the next assignments.
Date and time of the lectures, workshops and 1-on-1 consultations will be agreed with the Mastermind group. The programme lasts from 20 September to 20 March.
Entrepreneurs I'd like to work with
I'd like to work with business owners, marketers who are hungry for success. You would like to step up in your business and you know that a powerful marketing system is a key to that.
You are tired of the clutter and are ready to work hard for this regardless of the part of the day, the weather or any other of your duties. Your industry, your current level of marketing knowledge and revenue don't count now.
Who is it not recommended to?
You don't have to be afraid of not being fit as your application will be reviewed and we set up a powerful Mastermind group. We pick team members so that they are able to inspire, motivate and help each other during and after the programme with their experience and network.
If you click on the 'I apply' button at the bottom of this page you land on a quick survey. Fill it in and we'll check your business and your goals and we'll offer you access to the Bootcamp only if we are convinced it'll be useful for you and the group.
If anyone doesn't get in, it doesn't mean they are not eligible or are judged in any other ways. It only means that in that particular group, this particular Bootcamp might not be the best solution for them, it's in everyone's interest.
What is our promise?
We promise you to get the most out of you and your business in the field of marketing. During these 6 months, we put all the techniques, tools and steps into practice so that you succeed easier afterwards and stop feeling bad about the clutter.
Either you'll do marketing in your business or you outsource it you'll be confident in your marketing, you'll have more clients, an engaged audience and a stronger brand.
We'll work hard to give you every support to reach that and expect the same level of hard work from you and from each member of the group.
We have worked with them
Looking forward to your application!
If you want to be in the next Marketing Bootcamp group, send your application by filling in the survey behind the below button. If you have questions, you can ask it there. We get back to you within 24 hours.
See you soon.

To gain a flourishing exposure to the billet in this competitive workstation of billion dollar merchantry is not justified as a simple task for a seeking appointee. Perhaps, how does one adopt the best way to write a CV and steer the focus of big cheese hirers to get one's fingers on the eximious facets of a great job? Paradisiacal format is the solution. Credible tips to enhance the relevance of your synopsis will be illustrated to steer your vocational hunting courses in a benevolent direction. Even if you are a novice in the frantic search of employment or a slick fastening vicissitude in jobs, a good resume always rolls in fruition.
Aces in drafting a synopsis begins with a brief exordium about the candidate applying for the job. Name, lodging whereabouts and dial information are rendered as crucial ABC's in the prelude section of a well-formatted synopsis. Information judging the confederation or status of monogamy of an individual, his religious perspectives or progression of age are determined as irrelevant subjects of assessment by the legitimate codes of the anti-discriminatory law. Sample CV proves that drafts tailored in a captivating format highlighting the lurking capabilities of an avocation seeker mousetraps the attention of the recruiter and afflicts him with a greater curiosity about the details of the applicant.
Bragging the details of employment inwardness undergone in the past acts as an inhibitor to the commendable mannerism of executing a professional vita. The best way to write a CV is encouraged if statements are presented in an engaging style with a realm of prime empiricism. Acquaintance with the practical facts add a feather of superiority of skills to the potential crackerjack and promotes the chances of success. . Enlisting the empiricisms of a crackerjack along with the certifying documents of indoctrination is immensely beneficial on the whole. A bio-data that brings out the moxie and savvy competence of the postulant is a catalyzing document that favors the fruition of getting an adorable job.
Formats for diverse variants of synopsis are catered by the layouts facilitated in sample CV incorporated in various online portals. The format of a sample medical CV bears discongruity with the ordinary professional vitas. Medical curriculums for sophomore feathers with the relevance of medicinal practices and degrees comprehended to accessorize the stature of the synopsis. Bewitching format of a polished bio-data encourage a successful bartar of the claimant. It is essential to incorporate polished layout formats with regularly arranged fonts and briefly elucidated nitty-gritty details to bewitch the attention of top-gun professionals.

Insights into Chef as a profession
- Authenticity and creativity are two chief traits a chef should possess. Great chefs concoct different kinds of cuisines catering to people's different tastes.
- Food is a very risky business. It's like a Lego house. One wrong move and everything may just fall apart
- The range of remuneration a chef earns cannot be estimated. It depends upon various factors, for example, what kind of an eatery outlet you've established, your experience and contacts, the degrees you've pursued, etc.
- As a chef, I'd recommend individuals to secure their Bachelor's, Masters and diploma courses from India itself. One should always start out by understanding their culture and the different cuisines. To add to that, various colleges in India provide international exposure too, hence it's a win-win situation to stay here.
- Feedback and constructive criticisms are a part and parcel of being a chef. Hence, one shouldn't consider this a personal jab and should try to manifest their opinions into their cooking style.
- Many are aware that setting up bar/restaurant/café requires getting licenses from govt. bodies, but not many are aware that even setting up a food truck requires tedious license taking the procedure, which is very exhausting.

Where were you born and raised?
I was born in Gujarat, India. At the age of 3, my family and I relocated to South Africa. I completed my schooling and pursued my graduation there.
However, I decided to move to Mumbai, India following this and have established a career here.
What is your family background?
We were a family of five, my parents, two siblings and me. My father was a Hindu Priest and my mother, a chef. All of us were intimately fused. We were one big clan, you could say.
Growing up, my parents had an exceptional influence on me. Since, we'd been residing in South Africa for years, away from our extended family, I noticed how both of my parents made things happen for themselves. They didn't require anyone's assistance or support. They were resilient and independent and that really rubbed off of on me.
Please give me a summary of your career.
After pursuing my graduation from South Africa, I decided to come to Mumbai as a hair and makeup artist.
I didn't work for a particular modeling agency back then, but I interacted with umpteen people and eventually landed various model and celebrity shoots. I did a lot of editorials too and got this opportunity through "Mariam Shaikh".
However, I wanted to do something apart from this job. And I did.
I came across a flyer regarding a food truck show called "Femme Foodies" and decided to try my luck there since I was always passionate about cooking and creating.
I sent the channel a brief introduction interview with myself. Soon, I was required to shoot videos concocting dishes of my own within a particular time frame.
Eventually, I was selected as one of their top ten finalists. Following this, I had to move to Goa for a certain period of time since all the episodes were shot there.
A few months into the show, I was declared the winner, hence winning a food truck too!
Since then, I've been 'paving' a path through this food truck!
I also work at a restaurant called "Urban Street Cafe" as a chef.
So, this sums up everything I've accomplished up till now.
Which institutes, according to you, are the best for pursuing this career?
There are innumerable courses and degrees a person can pursue in order to become a chef, for example, a Bachelor's and Master's degree in culinary arts, a diploma in culinary arts or other certified courses, etc.
As far as I know, "University of Mumbai" and "ITM Institute of Hotel Management" offer the bachelor's degree.
The faculty is pretty good, and a lot of focus is given to the practical side of the course which is exactly what you should be looking for.
Going abroad is an option too since you'll be familiarising yourself with various cultures and their numberless cuisines, but I'd suggest you study Indian culture and our cuisines first before embarking upon studying other cultures' dishes.
Also, there are various institutes in India providing international exposure, so you get the best of both worlds if you choose to remain here.
What is the expenditure associated with the education/training of Chef, approximately?
If you're pursuing your Bachelor's in Culinary Arts, which lasts for about three to four years, you'll incur an expenditure of approximately INR 40,000–50,000 per year.
As for your Master's, which usually lasts for a year, your expenditure may range from INR 50,000 to 1.2 lakhs per annum depending upon the college you're securing this degree from.
For diplomas and certified courses, the fee structure ranges according to the amount of time the course typically lasts for. Some diploma courses end within 9 months while some require 1.5–2 years to complete.
This is with regards to studying in India. When it comes to studying abroad, I wouldn't know how much you'd have to spend.
How does one manage to enter this field?
After completing a course of your choice, like your bachelor's and master's in culinary arts or hotel management and securing diplomas and certificates, you can start working in a hotel/café/restaurant or on setting up your business.
As for a food truck, you're your own boss. You don't work for anyone. However, a food truck comes with its own set of other hindrances and challenges, for example, acquiring a license isn't guaranteed and without a license, a food truck is considered illegal. Hence, one should address these factors before opting for this career.
What is the range of remuneration one can expect when starting out in your line of career & industry?
When starting out, one can earn about 50,000 INR per month as an assistant chef.
But with experience, there is probably no set pattern of the income range, because Chef's work is an art!
The range of remuneration that a chef can earn varies a lot depending on several factors such as experience, where they're working, what kind of a food outlet they've established [food truck, restaurant, cafe], their contacts, etc.
I know chefs' earning few lakhs per month and others not earning so well.
Please describe your work.
I work at a restaurant and have my own food truck. Hence, my responsibilities vary. My main priority is my food truck at the moment.
I'm almost always in the kitchen regardless of the setting, concocting and coming up with recipes that people may have never tried before.
Creating, experimenting and presenting different cuisines on our menu, is something I attend to as well.
Very frequently, when I'm not at the restaurant, I'm required to set up my truck at different venues for various events too. Sometimes these events last for days together, so, during this period, I invest my time only doing this.
I put in about 4–6 hours every day and work from Monday-Saturday.
In your opinion, what are some benefits that would encourage an individual to consider this career/job?
There's no end to learning when it comes to cooking. It's extremely interesting. Every day is different and dynamic.
Every culture has its own set of spices and ingredients. Exploring and covering different Indian cuisines itself takes a very, very long time, so one can only imagine how much there's to learn. And then there's creating your own dishes too!
I'm also able to balance my work and life perfectly as a chef. Since I'm pursuing my passion, there's hardly any pressure on me. I'm my own boss. Of course, every profession comes with its set of difficulties but I'm able to manage everything pretty gracefully.
If you identify yourself as a people person, you'll never get bored of being a chef. A chef is expected to meet different people especially the extremely polished and experienced. Hence one can learn ample from them.
Adding to these points, kitchen equipment and machines make things simpler and easier to work with. So, one doesn't need to worry a lot about manpower.
Can you mention a few challenges that you would want someone to be aware of if they're considering this career/job course?
First of all, food is a very risky business. It's like a Lego house. One wrong move and everything may just fall apart. For example, if a particular client approaches you with a food/health issue, it'll automatically put you in a precarious position.
Next, the income a chef earns isn't determined/ fixed. It may depend upon your contacts, your position in the hierarchy, the number of people visiting your restaurant/ cafe/ food truck, etc. It's pretty unpredictable.
You're also expected to accept criticism, whether it's constructive or not and respect an individual's personal taste/preference which many people may view as a personal attack.
Contrary to the point mentioned as a benefit previously, with changing times, the demand for manpower has been dwindling. Machines are replacing the need for workforce since they carry out the same functions efficiently and speedily. Hence, employment opportunities are diminishing which is detrimental for people who need jobs.
If you're thinking of purchasing a food truck, you have to know that setting up a truck in Mumbai without the necessary licenses is considered illegal. Hence, acquiring all the licenses is one tedious and exhausting procedure. Sometimes, you're not granted the licenses at all.
What are some relevant trends/skills/technologies that are currently commanding a premium in your job profile?
With an advancement in technology, the requirement for kitchen equipment has been increasing rapidly.
It's essential to keep up with these changes. Today, machines are carrying out functions that required manpower, previously. These facilities are much more efficient in terms of their speed and performance. Hence, it's important for a chef to invest in and make use of these equipments.
What kind of a person, do you think, would be content in this field?
Authenticity and originality are two very important elements a chef should possess. It's important to experiment and create ceaselessly, come up with new recipes, play around with ingredients, etc. You ought to be open to new, untried things. It's mandatory, really.
As a chef, being surrounded by different people and interacting with them is inevitable. So, it's important to evaluate your personality attributes and your nature before opting for such a profession.
You also have to cater to people's tastes, welcome feedback, and constructive criticism and manifest it into your cooking techniques.
If you think these factors can be assimilated into your personality, you'll definitely love being a chef.
Given another choice, what would you do differently as far as your professional selections are concerned?
No, I absolutely love my job.
Initially, I thought my purpose was to serve as a 'hair and makeup artist', however, there was a part of me that felt otherwise. After a lot of contemplation, I found what had been hidden away from me for so many years.
My passion for cooking and creating!
I've paved a path through this road since then and have never come across a moment of regret.
What advice would you offer to students or professionals who are just starting their journey on a path similar to yours?
Keep the passion alive and burning. Keep creating. Don't follow. Use your dexterity in an authentic way.

The nutritional properties of seeds can sometimes be under discussed. For many years, specific traditions used the seeds and roots of plants to treat and cure many different types of issues and ailments. In our current, more rapidly changing society, it's nice to know that these seeds and plants can be obtained in an easy-to-use oil form which takes the guess work out of preparation and application. One thing that should be noted about poppy seed oil is that the ripened seeds themselves do not contain narcotic properties like that of the plant. Many get confused about this fact.
Inflammation Slayer
Poppy seed oil is great for the skin for a myriad of reasons - one of which is its high content of lineolenic acid. This can help to target and relieve many of the symptoms suffered from skin issues like eczema and psoriasis. The inflammation that is usually the biggest symptom of these kinds of skin ailments can be downright distressing. The skin starts to darken and the inflamed areas of the skin can become painful and swell to noticeable levels.
Try to treat your affected skin with a mixture of poppy seed oil and coconut oil. Using the coconut oil as a carrier, add a few drops of poppy seed oil into it and combine. Apply the mixture to your symptomatic skin twice a day.
The lineolenic acid also makes for a great moisturizer for the face. If you know anything about skincare, you know that the skin needs hydration and moisture quite a bit. No matter the skin type you have, moisturizing your skin daily, and well, is an absolute necessity. This is true even for you oily skin sufferers, as you may think that your skin requires less moisture, it doesn't. In fact, oily skin likely needs more moisture than normal or dry skin because its over production of oil is due to its lack of necessary moisture. Go figure. Try a couple of drops of poppy seed oil as a moisturizer on a completely clean face.
Treats Dandruff
Those pesky little flakes are no match for the potency of poppy seed oil. In fact, dandruff sufferers find that the scalp issue can be so pervasive and that oils similar to poppy seed help to completely heal and restore their scalp. Poppy seed oil is no different. You can add a bit of the oil to your favorite shampoo and wash your hair as normal.
You can also use the oil, mixed with a bit of coconut or jojoba oil, as an oil specifically applied to the scalp. Part your hair in small sections and apply the oil mixture along the entirety of your scalp. After just a couple of weeks, you'll notice the dandruff less and less until it's completely gone.
Stimulates Hair Growth
If you are looking for a way to promote hair growth, this oil will definitely do the trick. Try massaging a few drops onto your scalp every other day and watch how your hair starts to grow in stronger and thicker than before!
