Proximate is Looking to Make Sales Intelligence as a Service (SIaaS) Commonplace Among Startups
Sales teams in growing companies may have an expansive collection of tools or not enough to help provide them a look into how the process is going. Proximate is a recently-formed startup that is looking to not only give a closer insight to how the sales are going, but also analyze sales leads.
Founder and CEO Ross Andrews sat down to speak with us about his own experiences helped give him an "a-ha!" moment to start a sales-oriented startup. Andrews also went into detail about a Meetup group he has formed with other startups called Boston Sales Tech.
CB: I'm a big fan of the phrase "origin story." What are the origins behind Proximate?
RA: Well, it is the typical "I need a better tool to do my job" startup story. I was working at another startup and one of my roles there was sales. So, I
started selling, and I quickly wanted to bang my head off of the wall because there weren't any tools out there to help me do my job better/more efficiently. CRM tools are great for tracking my customer interactions, but they did nothing in the way of helping me realize what leads were hot, which ones were cold and how my actions impacted them.
I sat down and looked at the CRM/Sales Tech ecosystem and realized that companies are sitting on mountains of sales data and that there wasn't an easy to use tool that could take that data, interpret it and then provide insight, guidance, and recommendations to sales professionals. So I began putting the idea for Proximate together, I then shared the idea with my family, and my step-father introduced me to my future Co-Founder, Thomas Boles, who was the Lead Developer and Salesforce Admin for their corporate team building company. His experience managing CRMs first hand for a B2B organization led him to the same conclusion. He agreed that the features offered by CRM's in regards to Sales Intelligence just aren't cutting it and we got to work!
CB: How does Proximate work?
RA: Proximate is a SaaS product that syncs seamlessly with your current CRM sales cloud and provides real-time sales intelligence based on your existing and future CRM sales data. Lead/Opportunity scoring and qualifying, sales guidance, and opportunity management all designed to help sales professionals more completely understand all of the sales data that is in front of them. It also learns and evolves. Our system learns from each sales interactions and adapts over time to help keep you ahead of changes in your industry.
Our goal is to create a new tier of SaaS product that is designed to make Sales Intelligence, simple, powerful and affordable for any company. We have branded it Sales Intelligence as a Service (SIaaS). Our system is designed to be layered on top of your existing CRM sales cloud infrastructure and provide real-time Sales Intelligence to the entire sales team with just a few clicks. Instant feedback after each sales interaction to help sales professionals better understand how their actions have impacted a lead, which leads are high quality, which is lower quality, and how to most effectively allocate their time and resources to close the most deals, most efficiently for their organization.
CB: Who are the target customers for Proximate's software?
RA: Our target customers are any B2B organizations that have a sales team and an existing CRM sales cloud in place. Even large organizations with complex sets of product and service offerings, our system can detect the unique sales life cycles between product lines, and service offerings, and adapts the scoring and recommendation system for each sales team member respectively.
CB: How big is the team?
RA: We currently are a fantastic team of four! Thomas Boles (Founder & CTO), Yashwant Jankay (Chief Data Officer), Tanya Tandon (Chief Innovation Officer) and myself (Founder & CEO).
CB: Since we've initially spoken, you've assembled a group called Boston Sales Tech. Tell me a little more about that and how it plays into Proximate's mission?
RA: Boston Sales Tech is a small but growing group of sales technology companies based in the Boston area. Its goal is tied to the reason I started Proximate and to a famous quote I'm sure many of us have heard, "Nothing happens until somebody sells something."
While it is up for debate who first coined the phrase, the quote has a truthful yet straightforward message to it, companies need to sell! At Proximate we love what happens when you combine the human spirit and ingenuity, it's the basis for how the majority, if not all of the top companies that exist today got started. The goal of Proximate is to make a tool that helps those companies succeed, especially from a sales standpoint. The Boston Sales Tech group is formed out of the same idea, bring together some of the most promising up and coming with some of the more established "Sales Tech" companies in Boston so that we can collaborate, share, and enhance one another so that our products can make sales the most natural part of running your business. At both Proximate and as part of the Boston Sales Tech group, we know that you and your team have worked hard to build amazing products and services. We want to make bringing them to the right people at the right time as simple and straightforward as possible.
CB: Finally...what is the worst sales pitch you've ever heard?
RA: I can't say I've heard one that was so poor it sticks out in my memory. But from talking to dozens of CEOs, Presidents, Sales Leaders, and Business Owners that one thing they all seem to repeat is that many of their sales people are "yes" men and women. What do I mean by this? Whenever they check in on them about a lead, it's always "Yes! Things are going great, should close any day now.". We all love the confidence, but we also all know that even the top salespeople aren't going to close every single deal they get, and even more, there is no way that all of them "appear" to be headed in the right direction. Sales Leaders and Business Owners are dying for a tool that will help their salespeople move away from those bad leads, freeing up time to develop stronger relationships with the more promising leads and even unlocking previously lost revenue opportunity.

BEFORE the advent of the drone, there were few chances to see aerial views of Gwent, but the Argus archive has a range of shots from the last century when cameras were taken to the air and looked down at our world from above.
Docks and railway
An evocative shot shows the knot of rail lines which girdled Newport in its heyday. Mendalgief Road here forms the boundary of terraced streets, beyond which are endless lines of track, some crammed with coal wagons waiting to unload at the docks or lying empty and waiting to return up the valleys to be filled again with coal.
The towers where cargoes would be unloaded at Newport Docks can be seen in the late 1950s shot of merchant ships moored in the glass-like Alexandra Dock. A more recent shot from 1988 shows how shipping by then had changed with containers stacked on the dockside and ship at anchor.
Transporter Bridge
The Transporter Bridge features in many aerial views of Newport. This shot looking north-east shows how little development there was east of the River Usk before the Second World War.
Stephenson Street, the light coloured road which carries traffic to the Transporter, cut through fields here, but now is flanked by industrial sites. Further north, there is the Orb steelworks, but beyond that there are fields still. Still recognisable is the Waterloo Hotel and the terraces of Pill.
Then they would have been only a couple of decades old. Another shot looking westwards shows again how little of this area of Newport was developed.
Uskmouth Power Station
The picture of Uskmouth Power Station shows it early in its working life. The coal-fired power station was built in 1959. At Newport Docks in the distance, a cruise-liner can be seen berthed.
As well as generating power for over half a century, the site has been used as a location for Doctor Who. In the episodes 'Rise of the Cybermen' and 'The Age of Steel', the station was used as the setting a Cybermen Factory.
Art College
The view looking east over the centre of Newport shows the Art College and Clarence Place. On the right of the shot is the Davies landing stage which took its name from Davies Brothers, the builders' merchants sited opposite the college. Its signage tells how they are importers of 'Timber, slates, cement' and they are 'builders' merchants and ironmongers'. The firm was sited here because this is where their wares would be offloaded from the river. But now this part of the river has been cleansed and is strictly for strolling or living. Those smells of timber and mortar can still be had, just not in the centre of Newport any more.
Newport centre
An earlier shot shows the centre of Newport circa 1930s. To the middle-right, the Monmouthshire canal, which ran from Brecon before joining the Usk at Crindau, can be seen.
The buildings around the Old Green and Newport Castle before the area was levelled in 1970 can be seen.Towards the bottom-right, Newport's Lyceum Theatre can be picked out. It was one of Newport's grandest buildings but as audiences dwindled after the Second World War and pressure grew to redevelop Newport, the theatre was closed and the decision taken to demolish it in 1961.
Panteg Steelworks
There was first a steelworks at Panteg in 1873 when Sampson Copestake & Co started to produce steel rails for export to India. Investment during the Second World War saw Panteg produce steel for armour and helmets. The works closed in 1996.

Here are just a few samples of items on display at my Open House this week:
1. The Totally Tess Fancy Favor Box filled with some of my favorite new and not so new "essential" products! This is cased right out of the Catalog and Idea Book on Page 73! I just changed the color of the box, clipped on the new mini clothespins, and filled the box with a few of my favorite items (Paper Snips, a clear block, the Flower Fusion Sizzlet, the new In Color Markers, a punch, and some Stampin' Mist). I'm submitting this as another sample for Gretchen Barron's Inspiration in Action Catalog Case Contest found at this post here.
2. Another Fancy Favor Box! I used some Not Quite Navy 12x12 paper to cut out this box, and I cut some flowers using the Fun Flowers die to cut out some Daffodil Delight flowers. The centers are the large buttons from the Brights Buttons collection. I tied some linen thread through the centers to attach them to the flowers. Cute, huh?! The sentiment is framed using the new Designer Frames Embossing Folder. I love it! The mini flower is punched with the Boho Blossom punch, and the ribbon is the "new" Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon (new to the big catalog, but carried over from the spring Mini Catalog! Love it!).
Thanks for checking me out!

Watch: Bill Maher opens HBO's Real Time with five minutes of jokes about Trump's Toad penis
This week Stormy Daniels released her tell-all book which includes graphic descriptions of her liaison with President Donald Trump, including a description of Trump's anatomy.
On Friday HBO host Bill Maher laughed about the description of Trump's member, which Daniels disclosed is of relatively normal size but with a shape that recalls Toad from the Mario universe.
"Trump said he's commenting, he hasn't seen it," Maher said. "His d*ck, not the book."
Maher discussed the allegations made about Brett Kavanaugh, and the fact that he is being defended by admitted p*ssy-grabber Donald Trump.
Alleged child molester Roy Moore is also coming to Kavanaugh's defense, Maher said, with a caveat.
"He was mad that he wasn't invited to that party with the teenagers," Maher said.
Watch below.

The Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott recently announced a proposal to deny childcare rebates to parents who 'conscientiously object' to having their children vaccinated. This 'no jab, no pay' policy, and a similar proposal in California, has brought the vaccination debate into the spotlight once again. Opponents of this measure argue that it's trying to coerce people into violating their own morals. Those in favour point to the resurgence of preventable diseases as reason enough for the introduction of these measures. While the available evidence supports vaccination as best practice and safer than the alternative many parents and guardians remain unconvinced and wary.
Vaccination works by stimulating a person's immune system by administering antigenic material. This grants personal immunity to diseases, many of them potentially fatal, and helps to prevent their spread through communities. Older societies had similar practices where people were intentionally exposed to diseases that would give immunity to their more deadly cousins; most famously when exposure to cowpox was used to protect against smallpox. The development of vaccinations reduced the risks associated with this form of inoculation and further limited the spread of many diseases, even eradicating smallpox.
Any similar eradication of measles, polio, or other such preventable diseases relies on vaccination of almost all members of a society. Any lack of immunity in a population offers a foothold for these diseases and risks those who cannot be inoculated. Yet many parents fear the potential risks of exposing their children to such antigenic material. It is this clash between personal beliefs and desire to protect and the collective need for 'herd immunity' that has made the debate surrounding vaccination so controversial.
In her latest book, 'On Immunity: An Inoculation', essayist and non-fiction author Professor Eula Biss explores the arguments put forward by those who support and oppose vaccination and the language they use. This isn't an exploration of the science of vaccination or the polarised pro and anti camps though. Instead 'On Immunity' looks at the vaccination debate from the point of view of parents, specifically mothers. In many ways this book uses the rhetoric surrounding vaccination and disease as a way to explore the fears and worries of parents, and wider societies, in the modern world.
Susan talks with Eula about 'On Immunity' and why she wrote this book. Why is vaccination important? Why are so many people afraid of it? And what have her experiences of motherhood and vaccination been?
'Thetis Immerses Son Achilles in Water of River Styx' by Antoine Borel, 18th century
Before delving into the world of vaccines and motherhood Susan takes a look at 'The History of Emotions' with Professor Jan Plamper. Emotions are such innate things that most of us rarely stop to think about where they might have come from. Even those who dedicated their lives to uncovering the nature of emotions rarely stopped to see if and how they had changed through time. It seems strange to think that the emotions we experience today might have been something different for our ancestors.
The past decade has seen the history of emotions explode as a field of study though. Taking issue with the idea that emotions are a constant universal some historians began to explore the idea that feelings might be learned behaviour shaped by our cultural upbringing. While it has been long accepted that the expression of emotion differs from time to time and place to place this school of thought argues that the emotions themselves change. Much like our theories of race, gender, or class emotions might change over time and from place to place.
Professor Plamper has been one of the leading thinkers and driving forces behind this new movement. In 'The History of Emotions: an Introduction' Jan looks at how emotions themselves and our understanding of them have changed throughout history and disciplines, from the ancient world to modern times. Join Susan as she journeys into the emotions of the past with Jan.
How have feelings changed over the past centuries and millennia? Why is it important to get an understanding of how people might have felt differently? What insights can long-dead philosophers and writers give us into the emotions of the past? How are we different from those who've gone before us? And what can we learn from the emotions of the past?

I've wanted to blog this Lemon Meringue Pie since Mother's Day! Finally I was able to do that this weekend. It's been a little difficult to make my goal of blogging once a week, since I am still getting settled into my new house. Most things are unpacked but I still have a lot of the décor just scattered about in the extra bedrooms upstairs, but I don't want to decorate with them before I have the walls painted. So last weekend I ended up painting the home office instead of blogging. But I am happy to say I am currently able to blog from my new, freshly painted home office! This space was originally going to be the "man cave" but my husband and I felt we would get more use out of a home office, as long as I didn't decorate it with "girly things" my husband was cool with letting go of his man cave. So I came up with something that he likes and I like. For him…..Houston Texans football, and for me…… Ford Mustangs! There's still some decorating and organizing to be done in the office, but I have a good start and I am very excited to have my own space to blog from.
So, blogging to you from my new home office, here is my newest blog post for a Lemon Meringue Pie. Perfect for Summer time! Enjoy!
Lemon Meringue Pie
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, plus ½ cup juice (3 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Bring the water, sugar, cornstarch, and salt to simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly. When mixture starts to turn translucent, whisk in the egg yolks, 2 at a time. Whisk in lemon zest, juice and butter. Return the mixture to a brief simmer, then remove from the heat.
- Pour the filling into a baked and cooled pie crust. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling and refrigerate the pie until the filling is cold, about 2 hours.
- Adjust your oven rack in the middle position and heat your oven to 400 degrees. Bring sugar and water to a vigorous boil, cook for 4 minutes (mixture will become slightly thickened and syrupy). Remove from the heat and set aside while beating the egg whites.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and whip until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. With mixer running, slowly pour hot syrup into whites (avoid pouring syrup onto whisk or it will splash). Add vanilla and beat until meringue has cooled and becomes very thick and shiny, 3 to 6 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, mound the meringue over the filling, making sure the meringue touches the edges of the crust. Use the spatula to create peaks all over the meringue. Bake until the peaks turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.

ConnectEdu and Michigan- Only Case Study Presentation at Annual PESC Conference that Highlighted PESC XML Capability
April 25, 2007- I wanted to take a few minutes to congratulate both the ConnectEdu and University of Michigan development teams on their recent case study presentation at the Annual PESC Conference. From what I understand, the team did a fantastic job of walking everyone through the process by which Connect! is delivering EDI transcripts directly into Michigan's Student Information System. With Connect!, we support both PESC XML, currently being utilized with Michigan State University, and EDI. The CDU/Michigan teams also explained the process by which ConnectEdu and the University of Michigan are automating the recalculation of applicant grade point averages and the matching of applicant data. This partnership is saving the University of Michigan nearly $20 per applicant in processing and data entry costs that simply do not exist anymore – POWERFUL!

Euler and Modern Science
N. N. Bogolyubov, G. K. Mikhailov, A. P. Yushkevich
Mathematical Association of America, 2007 - Mathematics - 425 pages
This book is an English translation of a collection of papers in Russian from a conference held in Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1983, 200 years after Euler's death. Two of the Russian papers in the collection are themselves translations from the German. The present English translation appears in 2007, 300 years after his birth. We speak of the ""Age of Euler"". A justification of this term is provided by a list of scientific terms connected with Euler s name and his many contributions to pure mathematics, well-known in the mathematical community and, in part, covered in this volume. What makes this collection remarkable, though, is the extensive treatment of Euler's contributions outside pure mathematics-to astronomy, celestial mechanics, ballistics, history of science, instruments and technology, physics, mechanics, hydromechanics, mechanics of elastic systems, variational principles of mechanics, and a mathematical theory of music. In addition to this survey of his contributions to science, we find here material otherwise very difficult to find detailed accounts of Euler's family life and the careers pursued by his children and grandchildren. Readers otherwise well-informed about Euler and his work will find here much to enhance their appreciation of this extraordinary scientist and human being. For significant and factual knowledge of Euler's contributions to science past and present, this book is easily the best available choice.

Apps continue to dominate U.S. consumers' share of mobile usage time, with native apps accounting for an impressive 86% of the time spent on mobile devices. (Source: Flurry Analytics 2014 Mobile Analytics Report) Where does this leave web apps, which have garnered much attention recently thanks to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and HTML5, but have failed to gain much traction in terms of consumer adoption? First, it is important to have a clear understanding of what differentiates these two application technologies.
A native app is built for a single platform, meaning it will only work on the device for which it was created (think iOS or Android). These apps are downloaded from their respective app stores, and to get in the store they must go through an approval process that generally takes up to two weeks. Native apps have the fullest capabilities, including faster performance, more advanced security features, and access to all of the device's native APIs, such as the camera, GPS, accelerometer and vibration features, as well as the ability to receive in-app push notifications. Native apps can be expensive to develop as each platform requires its own app, and currently both iOS and Android developers are in very high demand.
A web app is built for multiple platforms, and it will work on any device that has access to the Internet. Because they are web-based, web apps don't require a download, allowing developers to make updates immediately and have complete distribution control. Web apps have partial capabilities when compared to native apps, as they may not be able to access all devices' native features across all mobile browsers, and they are not able to receive in-app push notifications. Web apps can have lower deployment costs, as you need just one app for multiple platforms, and they can be built by developers with expertise in HTML5, which is a common programming language.
Mobile app stores saw annual downloads reach 102 billion in 2013, up from 64 billion in 2012 (Source: Gartner), confirming that native apps are currently on an upward trajectory, though growth is forecast to slow down a bit in later years. There is no way to measure the exact number of users of web apps as they are distributed independently by their developers. Web apps have no obvious or centralized location for discovery, whereas native apps benefit from the app store distribution model. However, a Pew Research study found that a significant number of people simply don't download apps. Some don't want apps taking up valuable space on their device, others have security concerns, while some simply just don't want to bother. Whatever the reason, by not offering an alternative to a downloaded native app, brands will without a doubt be cutting out some potential users.
While native apps may rule at the moment, it is forecasted that HTML5 will take over in the long term. A Telerik survey of 3,500 developers, CIOs, and CTOs saw growth in the number of developers who are going pure HTML5 rather than native, with 41% of developers building cross-platform apps rather than native apps, up from 36% in January 2013. There's also a fairly significant drop in the number of developers who build pure native, all the time: just 8%, down from 15% earlier this year.
Though no one can predict exactly what the future holds for mobile apps, these statistics indicate that it isn't wise to adopt an exclusionary approach, which inevitably limits a brand's reach to potential users. By choosing the right development tools, ones that evolve with the mobile ecosystem, any brand can create effective and cost efficient native and web apps that allow the brand to connect, engage and interact with their users. Developing both native and web apps makes for a much more complete mobile strategy that will reap benefits both now and well into the future.

Johnson Bank has sold a 3.46 gross acre lot in Tempe that is platted for Dorsey Crossing Live/Work Townhomes, a 45-townhome mixed use project. The lot was purchased by New Leaf Communities for $750,000 or $2 per square foot, $350,000 down, and $400,000 debt with Bill Cleverly of Inca Capital. The project has previously been marketed as 1233 Off Broadway, located at 1233 E Broadway Rd, East of the southeast corner of Rural and Broadway Roads.
The project was previously acquired as land only on April 24th, 2006 for $800,000 or 5.01 per square foot, and $1,050,000 debt with IMH Financial corp; the note was later released in 2007. In 2006, the site went through the entitlement process with the City of Tempe planning and zoning to establish a planned area development for the mixed-use project, atop its PCC-2 zoning designation. New debt of $2,761,000 with Johnson Bank was issued July 26th, 2007. Johnson Bank gave notice of trustees sale September 30th, 2010. Johnson Bank then foreclosed on the property on December 30th, 2010 for $1,263,000 credit bid amount.
According to Vizzda's analysis of city zoning documents from a March 26th, 2006 project approval with the City of Tempe, the entire project is composed of three phases on 8.55 acres. The fist two phases are already built and the subject property (phase III) is on 3.46 gross acres (2.55 net), and will total 87,425 sf of total building area in 9 different product types. The 45 three-story buildings will consist of 45 residential units (7 two bedroom, 38 three bedroom). 14 of the units will have ground floor commercial space, ranging from 321 to 571 square feet. The buildings have a maximum allowable height of 40 feet and the density is measured at 17.6 dueling units per acre.

Lotus Birth
Many people go the traditional route when having a baby. Meaning most people have their baby in a hospital setting, with a rushed labor and more than likely an induced labor. When the baby comes out, the umbilical cord is snipped and the hysterical baby is handed to the mother before being rushed off for weighing, shots, etc.
This has become a tradition in our society, and not that its bad, but there are other ways that more resemble the original ways of birth before money came into play, and before it was the norm to rush delivery and get the patient and baby out of the hospital so the next patient can come in.
There are many instances where a hospital is necessary and the "normal" way of birthing is best, such as if you are at risk for any complications or need a cesarean due to concerns or complications.
A lot of times, mothers and fathers are unaware of any alternative ways of birthing, and to my surprise there are very few people that have ever even heard of what a lotus birth is.
My wife and I had a lotus birth with our daughter, now 3 years old, and our newest son, now 6 months old.
We noticed a huge difference in many aspects than when we had the normal hospital birth with our twin boys. Two of the biggest differences we noticed were that with a lotus birth, our babies did not cry until a few days after being born. With our twins, as soon as they got the umbilical cord cut, they were screaming from that second on.
Another big difference we noticed is that our twins had complications with sickness, while our newest son and daughter had no sickness whatsoever until far after being birthed. There are many reasons we personally believe this happened, although there are not much evidence to prove our theories. There has been very little research done on lotus births because our society thinks of it as very risky behavior but we know otherwise.
What is a lotus birth?
A lotus birth is where you keep the umbilical cord and placenta attached to the baby until it detaches naturally. This usually happens anywhere from 3-10 days after giving birth. With our son, Okeanos, his umbilical cord came off 4 days after birth. With our daughter it took a bit longer at 11 days.
Why would somebody choose to have a lotus birth?
There are many reasons and it varies depending on the individual you are talking to. Many practice this because it is a norm in their culture. As new as it may be to our society, this has been the way many cultures birth for generations. The reason we chose to do a lotus birth is because we believe that the baby can feel the umbilical cord being cut, and it hurts them physically. This is evident, if you pay attention when a cord is cut, the baby reacts and it is very traumatic for them.
The other reason we chose to take this route is because we believe that there are still some very vital nutrients that are essential to the babies health. The cord is still pulsating even after birth, and letting those important nutrients get to the baby is important in our opinion.
Another reason is because when the placenta is still attached, it proves difficult for the mother and baby to be too active in the first week or so after birth. We thought that this is advantageous as mother and baby can have that first week to lay in bed and bond. Mama is pretty ore after birth and laying in bed with baby gives her time to recuperate. Many new moms want to show their baby off to the world, which is fine, but we thought it would be a good idea for mother and baby to stay in bed, at least until the cord detaches, and bond. This is important so that baby isnt exposed to a variety of possible sicknesses other people may have and the mother can have time to relax and be treated like the queen she is!
Are there any risks involved?
As with anything, there are risks involved. If done properly however, you have nothing to worry about. Many doctors claim that the risk of infection is too high to practice such a birth, but we disagree. It all has to do with how you care for the placenta and the baby during this important time. Which we will cover!
How does one properly perform a lotus birth?
So, there are many ways this can be done but through our research we have found ways that have worked for us with no problems.
When baby (and placenta) come out the first thing you want to do is wash the placenta of any excess blood (there will be a lot!). This is easiest when you have some help. An example would be mama holding the baby and the daddy washing the placenta. The placenta is slippery, so be careful! To let it drain, we use a strainer, yep thats right! The same kind of strainer you use for making noodles! We put the placenta in this and put the strainer into a bowl to catch any excess liquid.
After this, usually a few hours after birth, you are going to want to wrap the placenta in some sterile cloth pads. Usually, if you're at a birthing center, they will have these readily available.
You will want to keep the placenta in these until it stops pulsating and is clean. You can wash it as much as you need in order to get all the excess blood off, we have found that we usually wash the placenta about 3 times the first day. You can change out the pads as much as needed as they will soak through.
Usually we keep the placenta in these pads until late in the second day. At this point, risk of an infection is increasing as the placenta is exposed to airborne contaminants. It is at this stage that you will want to cover the placenta completely in a mixture of salt and antimicrobial herbs.
In planning for a lotus birth, we purchase a large amount of organic salt, around 3-4 pounds. We also purchase herbs such as rosemary, thyme, lavendar and any other antibacterial herbs of your choosing. Prior to placing the placenta in this, you will want to mix the salt with the herbs. Keep in mind that the majority of the mixture will be salt, as this is a preserving agent that will keep the placenta safe from contaminants and start to dry it out so that you can preserve it.
The method we use is to put a good amount of salt in a new bowl, lay the placenta in there and cover it the rest of the way with the salt and herb mixture.
It is a good idea to change the salt mixture at least twice, as the salt will begin to absorb the moisture in the placenta and you want the salt to be as fresh as possible. The salt and herbs is an important step that will save you from the risk of infection and smelliness!
Once this is complete, all you have to do is wait for baby to detach naturally. This happens when the cord is dried and it comes off the baby. For our daughter, she started tugging on it and pulled it off herself. For our son, his detaches in the night time, most likely from him rolling over and it just coming off.
Is there anything I should keep an eye on?
There is some obvious signs that something bad is happening, such as smell. When something gets infected it tends to have a really bad smell, in which case it would be a good idea to notify your family pediatrician or midwives and get it looked at. We have never had a problem though and if you follow the steps, we doubt you will either.
Another thing to keep an eye on is the belly button. From baby moving around it is possible to have the belly get a little bit irritated, which is normal. We kept a close eye on the site of attachment and regularly (about 3 times daily) took a q-tip with hydrogen peroxide and cared for the belly button. You can also drop a few drops of hydrogen peroxide directly on this area as well, just as a preventative measure so you do not experience any infection.
With these steps, you can have a successful lotus birth yourself! We always recommend doing your own research and truly think to yourself if this is something you want to go through with.
For my wife and myself, we know that this is a beautiful thing to experience and we will always choose this way when we have a child. We hope that you, as well, can choose to experience something as great as this!
Thanks for reading!

Designed by Asher Architects, this beach cottage on the coast of southern New Jersey is an ideal weekend getaway home. The cottage is new but the style gracefully bridges the gap between past and present. Covered decks and uncovered windows provide ample ocean and beach viewing while coastal interiors creates a relaxing feel that constant reminds you that this place was designed to be enjoyed at its fullest.
Get inspired by this classic and timeless beach cottage and start your day in a calmer state of mind.
This beach cottage is full of inspiration, from wide plank oak floors to that impressive custom bench.
Foyer lighting is Thomas O'Brien Henry Industrial Hanging Light and, in the hallway, the octagonal lanterns are Suzanne Kasler Small Morris Lanterns.
This crisp white beach house kitchen features a large island with blue and white counterstools and wide plank reclaimed wood backsplash.
The master bedroom is serene and simple. I love the tongue and groove walls, the wide plank floors and the window shutters. French doors open to a balcony with ocean view.
Sweet Vacation
It would be really hard for this to be my "vacation" home. I'm sure I wouldn't want to leave this place… ever! 🙂
Hanging Basket
Isn't this a charming way to hang flower baskets? It's perfect for a beach house!
You look at the beach and you can almost hear the waves crushing on the shore.
Let's go for a walk…
I finished this post and I took a very deep breath… the last image brings many memories to my mind. I love taking the afternoons and go for long walks on the beach with my kids and my husband. There is very few places that can relax me as much as the beach… the ocean really heals and makes me feel closer to my soul.
I hope this post could you make feel good, happy and relaxed. Make sure to bring this peace with you throughout your day.
We'll talk again tomorrow.
with Love,

"What does 11:11 mean? Many people who experience 11:11 regard it is some kind of cosmic trigger designed to grab their attention and direct it to whatever place inside them that needs awakening. We have become quite automatic in our living, and for many, 11:11 feels like a call back to consciousness. The best version of ourselves resides in the realm of reflective awareness, where we consider the effects that our thoughts, words and actions will have, and 11:11 may be playing a role in boosting that awareness.

A visit to the gynaecologist is not top of many people's lists of fun activities. Sadly though, it is something that should be done often – probably as often as once a year. In the same way that there are many reasons why you should visit the dentist, or the optometrist annually, so too are there several reasons why you should be visiting the gynaecologist. But what are those reasons exactly? When everything appears to be working well it often seems unnecessary to take time out to go for a check-up, but it is critical that this happens, and here is why.
Basic physical
Everyone needs a check-up from time to time. In the same way that a car needs to have its plugs and oil changed every so often, so too humans need to go for physicals. A gynaecologist is a specialist in women's health and specifically in reproductive health. But a visit to the gynae is not just about looking at the parts beneath the skirt, it also involves a full check-up of the other vitals. So, visiting the gynaecologist is in effect the same as visiting the General Practitioner. Two birds and one stone and all that! If you don't already have a gynae then speak to friends or use the internet: a simple search for something like 'gynaecologists Melbourne' should be enough to provide you with the details that you need.
Not so obvious
Because your 'lady parts' are inside you, it is not always easy to see if things are in perfect health. Unlike male parts or your eyes or skins etc, the uterus and ovaries are internal, and they can face issues or complications that are simply not seen until it is too late. Don't allow that to happen.
Cancer is a reality
Breast and cervical cancer are both common killers of women and they need to be checked for on a regular basis. Looking for lumps in your own breasts is a great place to start by a qualified doctor is also a great back up. Pap smears and pelvic exams, while not much fun, are also very important in early identification of cancerous cells and complications. These are routine procedures for your gynaecologist, and as much as you might feel awkward and vulnerable, rest assured that this is simply routine for your doctor, they see naked females every day and perform these procedures regularly – there is no need for embarrassment or shame.
Changes and development
Unlike men who are pretty much the same physically from birth to death, the female body undergoes a lot of changes. To ensure that these happen correctly and as expected it is a good idea to see your doctor regularly. From the onset of puberty and menstruation through pregnancy and onwards to menopause and beyond there will be plenty of changes both physically and hormonally. Your gynaecologist is the health expert in these changes and the person who will shepherd you along, provide the wise counsel that might be needed and the scripts for any meds that may be needed to help make the changes easier.

Where is your cell phone right now? For many of you, you're reading this blog post on it. For those who aren't, it's probably in arm's reach.
We are always connected to our jobs, our families, our outside lives. All thanks to that little ringing device we carry in our pockets and bags. This state of hyperconnectivity leaves us often dividing our focus, and rarely are we 100 percent paying attention to any given thing.
Check out this week's video blog by clicking on the graphic below, or clicking here, to hear what I have to say about this rising phenomenon.
I have been doing video blogs for quite a few years now and a while back it occurred to me that some of the videos I've previously posted focus on timeless topics that deserve to be revisited and not buried way back in the video blog archive. For this reason, I decided to occasionally feature a "classic" video blog from my blog archive and today I am sharing the fourth one–"Networking Faux Pas: Not Following Up"
In this video, I talk about the faux pas which I see happen most out of all the faux pas which can possibly occur in the world of networking. It also happens to be the faux pas which frustrates me the most (Seriously–it drives me crazy!)–it's when you give a networking partner a referral and they drop the ball and don't follow up on it.
Remember, if you aren't following up when your referral partners call you and/or aren't following up on the referrals you're given, you're not just losing business . . . you're also losing your credibility and that's something which is extremely difficult to earn back. So, for those of us in parts of the world who are currently starting a brand new year, why not make a vow right now to make following up our number one networking priority this year? I guarantee it will pay off in big ways.
Have you had an experience where you gave a referral to someone and they didn't follow up on it? If so, will you continue to give that person referrals? Or, have you dropped the ball on following up on a referral before? If the answer is yes, did you learn a lesson from it? Please share your experiences in the comment forum below. Thanks!
I have been doing video blogs for quite a few years now and a while back it occurred to me that some of the videos I've previously posted focus on timeless topics that deserve to be revisited and not buried way back in the video blog archive. For this reason, just this past July, I decided to occasionally feature a "classic" video blog from my blog archive and today I am sharing the third one–"What Do Most Successful People Have in Common?"
In this video, I talk about the one thing the majority of successful people have in common–a positive attitude.
In the video, UAE networking expert Bijay Shah and I discuss how a positive attitude is one thing that you'll find in almost any successful person anywhere. More importantly, we explain how YOU can stay positive and headed toward success, despite challenging situations in both your business life and personal life.
After watching the video, I invite you to leave your feedback in the comments section–what do you think of our strategies for staying positive? Have you personally used any of these strategies already? If so, how effective was the strategy you used in helping you maintain a positive attitude in the face of the challenge(s) you were facing?
How many times have we heard people say that it never hurts to ask? Surely more times than we can count.
Well, in this video, I explain why it definitely hurts to ask sometimes–especially if you ask to soon! I share a personal story of a recent time when a stranger contacted me via LinkedIn wanting to connect and accompanied the connection request with a note asking me something which I found inappropriate to the point that I decided right then that I was never even going to consider connecting with her.
Watch the video to hear the story and to find out why I flagged the woman's LinkedIn request as problematic on three significant levels. Let me just say that this is 'Networking 101' and if I were her teacher, she would have gotten a failing grade–this is not the way to network! Whether you frequently participate in face-to-face networking, online networking, or both, you'll definitely want to hear this story so you never make the three mistakes that this woman did.
I'd really love to hear your feedback on this. What are your thoughts? Also, please share any similar horror stories you may have in the comment forum below–I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

For this reason, just this past July, I decided to occasionally feature a "classic" video blog from my blog archive and today I am sharing the second one–"How to Invest Your Time & Money for the Highest Return."
In this video, I talk about how to invest time and money into your business in the way that will ultimately pay the highest return–education.
Many businesses fail within their first three years of existence because they only pay lip service to education yet aren't willing to invest the time, effort, and money into learning about how to continually grow and develop in order to achieve the business goals and the vision they outlined for themselves at the start.
The fact is, people who immerse and engage in a culture of learning are much, much more successful than those who don't. Watch the video now to learn about an action you can take this week that will help you measure whether or not you're investing enough of your time and money into what will truly help your business earn more and achieve more.
I'm quite interested in hearing your thoughts on this video, your comments about what you currently do in order to invest in educating yourself to build your business, and also your results from carrying out the action item I explain at the end of the video. Please leave your feedback regarding any or all of these things in the comment forum below.
In this video, I talk to Dave Buck, the owner of Coachville, about the importance of coaching skills for entrepreneurs.
Any successful entrepreneur can tell you that success depends on the quality of the results produced by the people on your team; and the best way to get better results from the people on your team is to coach them.
Watch the video now to find out what Dave thinks is one of the key skills for entrepreneurs to have when coaching their team and, also, how you can participate in an entire program to become a really powerful and effective coach.
Do you have any coaching tactics or strategies that you've found to be particularly effective in coaching your team/employees? If so, I'd really love to hear them. Please share your thoughts in the comment forum below. Thanks so much!

Last week, Facebook closed down my personal account as they claimed that I was "impersonating Ivan Misner."
While waiting for Facebook to fix this, I began thinking that there just might be an opportunity here to turn "lemons into lemonade." Turns out there certainly is such an opportunity. Austin Coulson (from Riverside California) came up with a great idea. He suggested we create a social media campaign called: "Hey Facebook, Free Ivan Misner." We're hoping this will aid in helping to wrestle back the social media pages that are linked to my account AND serve as a social media boon for us at the same time. (Thanks, Austin–great idea!)
Please take five minutes to watch this video and, most importantly, please join the group: "Hey Facebook, Save Ivan Misner" at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/829011050464326/. I really appreciate you taking the time to help–thank you so much!
[Important Update: Since this was published, I am very pleased to announce that Facebook has let me out of Facebook Jail! I have my page back. I want to thank the Facebook employees who helped to make that happen. I also want to thank the hundreds of people who assisted by joining the "Free Ivan Misner" group on Facebook. This truly shows the power of a personal network! Check out the video though – it is pretty funny (in a sad sort of way).]
Someone once said to me, "Man, judging from the amount of things you accomplish, you must be motivated all the time."
Uhh, no . . . that's hardly the case! It's nearly impossible to feel motivated ALL the time yet sometimes it can feel like we're in a real doldrums slump. So what can we do when that happens? In this video, I outline my top 5 tips for getting inspired when you're lacking motivation.
From advice on how to prioritize to examples of what to surround yourself with and what to avoid, you're sure to glean some powerful insight that will help you get back on the road to productivity and success in no time!
After watching the video, I'd love to hear your personal tactics for pull yourself out of an unproductive rut and taking steps to start accomplishing great things. Please share your thoughts, stories, and feedback in the comment forum below–thanks!
In this video, I discuss how to identify and prepare for the appropriate time to ask for a favor within the context of a business relationship.
I explain how the concept of social capital is a key factor when it comes to asking favors and I tell a personal story where a business associate of mine named Alex went about building social capital with me in the absolute perfect way.
Watch the video now to learn the ONE thing you need to have with someone before you ask a favor of them and, also, how to spot when it would be a big mistake for you say yes to favors when you're asked to do them by other people.
Do you have a story about how you built social capital with someone in a great way, how someone else built social capital with you in a memorable way, or how someone asked you for a favor when it wasn't the right time? I'd love to hear these stories as well as any other stories you might have that are related to this topic. Please share them in the comment forum below–thanks!
I made this video with Australian networking master Paul Lomas back in 2012 and the ideas Paul shares in it are so important and timeless that I think it's time to give this video some additional airplay.
Paul's ideas about the simple act of making people feel welcome when they arrive at networking meetings and events are remarkably powerful. He also gives a very useful tip on how to give a great response when someone asks how you are doing in order to create an opportunity for positive, genuine connections.
The video emphasizes the importance of the visitor's experience to a networking group and how it can very significantly shape their choice regarding whether or not to return to that group. Sometimes it can be much too easy to get comfortable in networking groups and neglect visitors. For that reason, I urge you to watch this short video because it's a great reminder of just how important it is to genuinely make visitors welcome in order to grow your network and make your networking group as successful as it can possibly be.
Do you have any good tips or stories about how you or others in your networking group make others feel welcome? Please share them in the comments forum so others can learn from your tactics for successfully meeting, greeting, and making visitors feel at home. Thanks!

Whether one views the blog blockage as the "collateral damage" of a larger, flailing attempt at stamping out distribution of the Kim video, or as something intentional and targeted, it's censorship. All the blogs in several particular domains have been censored because the domains were adjudged to contain "material considered sensitive or harmful." That's massive, indiscriminate, intentional censorship in my book. Is it also a sign of incompetence? Hell, yes! On several levels!
Are we being Anglo-Saxon imperialists, imposing our value system on Koreans instead of sitting quietly by with tolerant understanding of censorship? My position is that our actions have absolutely nothing to do with imperialism ... We're holding Korea to its own standards here.
I thought this site-blockade would end as fast and silently as it had started, but my guess was apparently wrong.
Although, frankly speaking, all the blog-articles, petitions and so forth won't change a thing. The MIC will ignore all initiatives, because they have the protection from the top on this issue and are backed by the mood among the Korean populace. Sad as it is, but this is the reality.
The guys at Cheong Wa Dae have forgotten their own anthem of democratic struggle.

1.) Building a resilient oncology team
2.) Advancing new innovations
Those working in the healthcare industry are feeling burned out. In order to overcome burnout, a successful organization has to focus on building a resilient oncology team, from physicians, to nurses and program leaders. Handling stress, learning how to deal with difficult people, finding ways to reduce endless paperwork and non-essential tasks, and "letting go," is at the center of a new strategic approach to a successful oncology team.
The keynote speaker's message, and in fact the nature of the conference itself, was one of finding peace and being centered in the workplace. The particular location of the hotel, on the outskirts of Phoenix, set the initial tone, and from the morning meditation on day one, the mood of the conference was one of collaboration and calmness under pressure.
Speakers stressed the importance of the following topics when it comes to strengthening your team:
At CHAMPS, we are constantly innovating and, in turn, helping our clients understand what we see in the future of the cancer registry industry. Dale Dauten speaks about encouraging employees to share ideas, work together and embrace experimentation. "People hate to change, but love to experiment," says Dauten.
One of the ways CHAMPS innovates and experiments is through our proprietary analytics platform, insight2oncology®. insight2oncology was built to highlight cancer registry data, but has subsequently opened the door to possibility for usage of this rich data set.
The changes that have come from the Commission on Cancer, coupled with the shifting ground of medical breakthroughs reveal an environment rife with creative and new solutions. It is our mission and responsibility at CHAMPS to be on the forefront of these changes, always thinking ahead of where our clients need to be, and finding ways to solve problems with new ideas that work.
As we continue to shine light on registry data and the role our oncology team fills at hospitals around the country, we are excited to be at the forefront of innovative changes that can positively affect the integrated needs of the hospitals we serve.
Learn how insight2oncology can transform your cancer data into actionable information.

About the practice
I have been a spiritual healer for many years. I've learned that energy healing alone, doesn't always allow for a long term or permanent solution. At this time of evolution towards the remerging of the spirit with the physical, I have added stem cell and growth factor technology to my practice. This technology allows the body to heal from within, naturally and powerfully; no chemicals, no side effects, scientifically and clinically proven. You can experience healing from physical illness, pain or imbalances or experience the most powerful anti-aging properties for healing your skin or restoring hair loss. I consider myself a socially conscious entrepreneur, making a positive difference on this planet and allowing others to do the same with integrity and love.

The Right to Life, Pt 3
Looking down at the Pontiff, Christophe thought that he looked so peaceful and suprisingly good, given his age. Actually, as he thought about it it occurred to him that the Holy Father looked exactly as he did during his last public appearances, decades before. There was clearly something wrong.
Bending over, he also noticed that the Holy Father did not appear to be breathing. Christophe raised his gun and brought it down upon the head of the Holy Father.
It shattered. This Holy Father was a clever fake, made of ceramic.
Christophe stood there, confused. Who had he spoken to? A synthetic version of the Father's voice? But it seemed so knowing, so kind, so intimate in a way. How could it have been anyone but the father?
"Excellent, my Son. You have smashed the first idol." This from a speaker mounted in the ceiling. And then, the gaurd moved forward, away from the wall and a door opened, previously unnoticed because its seams had been well hidden.
Christophe stepped past the gaurd and through the door, only to find himself in a darkly lit room that appeared to be half altar, half operating room. Around the room were stacks of medical equipment and monitoring equipment, banks of lights lit and small display windows showing various forms of graphs and data, along with the occasional beep.
In the center of the room, however, was a marble table, much like the altar in a large church. Behind the altar was a large crucifix on the wall. And on the altar was...what was it? Three large Jars, beekers of fluid.
Christophe stepped forward to observe the jars more closely. Inside the central one floated what appeared to be a human brain. On either side of the central jar were two more jars, one with a heart and one with what could have been a liver. Tubes and wires joined the jars with each other and to neighboring medical equipment.
"Step forward, faithful son." This from another rosewood cone affixed to the front of the altar.
Comprehension began to filter in to Christophe's mind, but he fought it off. "Father? Where are you?"
"I am before you, my son. Look. Look what I have become." Clearly, the Pontiff had been reduced to a series of organs, the rest of the body having failed long ago.
The Pontiff continued: "The church, in their love for me turned me into an idol against my will. I have asked that they allow me to move on to eternal rest, but they have refused. They have kept me a hostage to life, without a body and without the ability to feel. Without the ability to administer the sacraments. Surely this is apostasy!"
Christophe cried out, understanding everything: "My Father! Forgive me for doubting you! I understand everything now!"
"So you understand what you must do."
Christophe was silent for a moment and considered that he was unworthy of the task. But he also knew that there was probably no one else who could do what the Pontiff clearly required.
"Yes Father. Forgive me of my sins."
The Father gave his blessings upon Christophe and then immediately began to administer last rites...for himself. "Thank you my son. Go with God my son. You have served the church well."
Christophe raised the gun and shot into the jar with the brain. Both brain and jar shattered, flying apart and sending shards throughout the room. Christophe pushed the other jars onto the floor and then wasted no time also in pulling wires and shutting down equipment, just in the off chance there was some way for the Pontiff to be put back together and resurrected against his wishes.
When he had done all that he felt was needed, Christophe knelt and prayed and waited for the footsteps to come.
Stretch it out a bit?
A definite shock for an ending, but this part wraps things up a bit quickly. I'd like to see you give yourself more room to explore this part of the story.
True, Christophe is there to put an end to the Pontiff, but a moment of hesitation before taking the act wouldn't be surprising.
And it seems like there are some very intriguing implications here that could be explored. Who specifically is responsible for doing this, and why would this particular pope be someone they want to keep around? How did they justify such an extraordinary act, and did they really implement it against the pope entirely against his will, or did they win him over at first and get his consent until he realized what their plan would really mean?
So it's quite a shocker, but I suspect you might find ways to make it even more so.

Does anyone know why I can get some DVDs to play on my new laptop but not others?
All of the ones I'm trying are store bought, all bought in the same region, but some will play and others won't. And it's not just that they won't play, the computer doesn't even recognize that I've put a disk in the drive when I put them in. They work fine in other computers.
One of them is even in a set of two and disk 2 works but not disk 1.
message edited by Jessica193
Are these movie DVDs perhaps?
If Blu-ray, they can only be played on a Blu-ray player.
Mmm.. If they're not blu ray disks, it " might" be the dvd unit itself.
I have Mats---a unit in an elderly Acer, and occasionally it will just not recognise a given disk. The disk will run etc. other players - atteched via usb, and also built-in on my Macbook.
Occasionally the problem disk will decide to "play" at a later time, but not very often. Also this Mats---a is occasionally selective about which make of disk it will recognise if intending to burn to it; dvd especially - don't recall any issues with cd...
If possible see if you can test the disk in another laptop of same make (ideally model series too). Likewise in any other laptop of similar generation. If they're ok when tested that way... I'd be much inclined to press firmly for a replacement unit - ideally a full laptop replacement. If go this latter option remember to copy all your personal stuff to external media - first; before exchanging kit...
If the laptop is new - under warranty - you ought to be in a strong position to request an exchange? If in the UK it may fall within
message edited by trvlr
The disks aren't blu-rays, and although I don't have the resources to try them in a laptop of the same brand, they work on my fairly current Lenovo laptop (as well as a really old Dell desktop).
You're probably right that I'm going to need to contact Toshiba about this, since it is still under warranty. But thank you for your help.

Dark Green Leafy Vegetables
Spinach, kale, romaine lettuce, leaf lettuce, mustard greens, collard greens, chicory and Swiss chard all have some fiber, folate and a wide range of carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, along with saponins and flavonoids.Researchers believe that carotenoids seem to prevent cancer by acting as antioxidants – that is, scouring potentially "free radicals" from the body before they can do harm. Some laboratory research has found that the carotenoids in dark green leafy vegetables can inhibit the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells, skin cancer cells, lung cancer and stomach cancer.
Current Research
Dark green leafy vegetables are categorized as non-starchy. After a systematic review of the global scientific literature, AICR/WCRF analyzed how non-starchy vegetables affect the risk of developing cancer. This comprehensive review of decades of research concluded that there is strong - probable - evidence that:
- foods containing dietary fiber DECREASE the risk of colorectal cancer
- a diet high in non-starchy vegetables along with fruits DECREASE the risk of lips, mouth, tongue and other aerodigestive cancers
Evidence categorized as "probable" means there is strong research showing a causal relationship to cancer – either decreasing or increasing the risk. The research must include quality human studies that meet specific criteria and biological explanations for the findings. A probable judgement is strong enough to justify recommendations.
