Motivational Assessment: S.I.M.A. (System for Identifying Motivated Abilities) is a proven process to identify how a person is designed so they can clarify what it is they love to do, not just what they can do. Everyone has their own unique natural abilities and it is when we use them that we feel most involved and fulfilled. The process enables clients to identify their motivated abilities by recalling those things that they have enjoyed doing and which they believe they did well. Within those, we will find and explore the patterns that began to emerge in their early years and which have developed ever since. Find out more about the SIMA process

Inspect3D Installation
|English • français • italiano • português • español
Inspect3D Hardware Requirements
Inspect3D runs most effectively on computers with the most CPU, RAM, and Network Capacity available. Like most software programs, the lower the capacity of the computer, the slower the reaction time of the program will be.
Inspect3D Software Requirements
Inspect3D can be operated on computers running Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 10. At this time Inspect3D is not compiled for operating systems other than Windows. Inspect3D is designed to run on 64 bit computers.
Downloading Inspect3D
C-Motion software is all downloaded over the Internet at www.c-motion.com.
Customers are provided login information to access the download page.
After you log in at www.c-motion.com, you will see a screen similar to this:
Click the DOWNLOAD Buttons to save the Inspect3D installation file to your computer.
Most web browsers will offer you a choice of where to save the downloaded file. Make sure you remember where you save the downloaded file.
Run the installation executable file you downloaded.
Installing Inspect3D
When you run the executable file that you downloaded you will be guided though the following steps.
1. Your computer will ask you to confirm that you trust the source of the program you are installing.
2. You will then be presented with the licensing agreement. It is very important that you read it before continuing.
3. You will then be presented with an Information window that has copyright information and details of what has been improved for the current version.
4. You will then be asked if you would like to create a desktop shortcut icon to facilitate access to the program.
5. You will then be presented with a summary of where files and shortcuts will be installed. This is your last chance to go back and change your installation choices.
6. You will be asked to wait while the installation process is underway.
7. When the Completed dialogue appears Inspect3D has been successfully installed on your computer. If you leave the checkbox selected Inspect3D will be opened automatically, after you click the Finish button.
Activation / Deactivation
Before using Inspect3D you will need to activate it. The instructions for activating Inspect3D are listed below; once Inspect3D is activated you will not need to repeat these steps again unless the program is deactivated. Each of the Licensing keys you purchase can only be used on one computer at a time. If you wish to use the Licensing key on another computer you will need to deactivate Inspect3D on the computer that the Licensing key is being used on (instructions are below.) You can then use that key to activate Inspect3D on another computer.
Inspect3D can not be used unless it has been activated.
1. If Inspect3D has not been activated then at the end of the installation process the Activation Dialogue will be opened in order to allow the licensing process to begin.
2. You will be asked to enter your licensing key into the text field. It is a string of four sets of four numbers (ie. #### - #### - #### - ####) which is normally e-mailed to you when you initially purchase Inspect3D. The number can also be found on the c-motion website when you login to your customer's download page. If you press the Cancel button Inspect3D will close without being activated.
3. When you press activate on the above dialogue box the "Activation Complete" notice should appear.
NOTE: If you are not connected to the Internet the first time you start the program, you will get a message with key system information. You can manually activate a license from the downloads web page (from the list of activated systems section), or you may copy the entire message in the dialog box and e-mail it to email@example.com.
If you receive the "Activation Error" notice, please verify that you have entered the licensing code correctly. If the problem persists contact email@example.com for further assistance.
NOTE 2: If you receive the "Previously Activated User" notice then the licence is already in use and you will either have to deactivate it on another computer or purchase an additional licence.
In order for an Inspect3D license to be used on another computer it must first be deactivated on the computer it is being used on.
1. On the tool bar expand the Documentation drop down menu.
2. From the drop down menu select the About button at the bottom.
3. On the About Dialogue Box click on the Deactivate button at the bottom right.
Uninstalling Inspect3D
If you want to completely remove Inspect3D from your computer you will need to uninstall it.
1. Close Inspect3D completely.
2. Click on the bottom left of your screen in order to open the Start menu.
3. Click on "All Programs" and navigate to the folder named C-Motion.
4. Expand the C-Motion folder and the Inspect3D folder.
5. Click on the Uninstall Inspect3D.exe
6. Your computer will confirm that you wish to remove Inspect3D from your computer. Select Yes to continue.
7. Inspect3D will confirm that you wish to remove Inspect3D from your computer. Select Yes to continue.
8. There will be a brief pause as the program finds all of the files that need to be deleted and removes them permanently from your computer. You will then get a message stating that Inspect3D has been successfully removed from your computer.
Note: Should you neglect step number 1 and try to uninstall Inspect3D while it is running you will get the following message. This means that while you have removed the essential components for running Inspect3D there has been some portion left behind which must be deleted manually.


text: Most children fall into five basic personality types that stem from inborn physical characteristics: the sensitive child, the self-absorbed child, the defiant child, the inattentive child, and the active/aggressive child. Stanley Greenspan, M.D., is the first to show parents how to match their parenting to the challenges of their particular child. He identifies and vividly describes these five universal temperaments and then, with great empathy, shows parents how each of these children actually experiences the world and how to use daily childrearing to enhance an individual child's strengths and talents.

I adore people who are willing to make mistakes because those are artists, creators, entrepreneurs, inventors, explorers, conquerors, and people who get to the end of their lives feeling like they have been here. Let's look at some of the benefit of making mistakes.
Making Mindful Mistakes Lead to Growth
You can't grow or create without moving beyond your present boundaries or knowledge. When you hit the boundaries of what you know, uncertainty is created. You have a choice to stay where you are or make a new move. If you choose something new, it's not always the most effective solution. So what? The knowledge you gain from having made that choice now goes into your data bank. You can use it to make other decisions in the future.
For example, let's say I want to make an omelet for the first time. I go through the process and discover that my filling was cold and the omelet itself was watery. I retrace my steps and realize that I'd have had better results if I had precooked the filling and either not used items that create water under heat or drained the water off first. Now I not only have more information about how to create a better omelet, I also have information that can be applied to cooking in general. All from cooking one omelet!
Mistakes Create Safety
Nobody can live 100% in their safety zone. Some try in order to stay safe, but which is more comfortable? A small box or a large one? When you learn new things, expose yourself to new ideas, and have more experiences to draw upon, you create a bigger comfort box. So growth and expanding your horizons actually creates more safety in the long run than staying with what you know. Another way of looking at this is that it reduces fear.
For example, let's say that I really want a corporate job, but am scared to actually do it because I don't know how to dress for it. I could say in my comfort zone and stay small or I could learn as I go. Learning as I go will eventually give me confidence that I can move in corporate circles as well as the environment I came from. It not only becomes one less thing I am afraid of, it is also no longer a barrier to going on to bigger and better things in the corporate world.
Making Mistakes Teaches You How to Forgive
Some people feel ashamed when they make mistakes. They stay in that place and want to give up so that they don't feel it again. That attitude keeps you paralyzed and stunts your growth. The more effective thing to do is to forgive yourself and grow past it. If you do that enough, you start to see that mistakes aren't really that big of a deal and maybe you don't have to even feel shame in the first place. When someone else makes a mistake, forgiveness is easy for them as well.
Making Mistakes Helps You to Live Without Regret
How can you have regret if you at least attempt to do what you want to do? How do you have regret if you forgive yourself for your less than successful attempts? It's hard to have regret when you go for it. The fear of making mistakes can help you create a life of "coulda, shoulda, woulda."
Making Mistakes Builds Confidence and Competence
People with a fixed mindset believe that they are born with talents and traits. Fate is predetermined. If things don't come easily, they don't tend to try. People with a growth mindset know that they can learn whatever they want to learn given enough time and good instruction. And so they go for it. Each attempt gives them feedback. They use that feedback to make successive attempts more accurate or successful. As each goal is achieved, it creates confidence and competence. They are more likely to take on new things, become leaders, and also become more understanding of others.
Making mistakes and admitting mistakes is hard for some people. Don't let it be for you. It's really not that big of a deal. You will succeed far more than you think you will. When you do make a mistake, it's rarely going to be the earth shattering type. Sometimes your mistakes may even be beneficial. To quote Cicero, "We must not say every mistake is a foolish one." So go for it. Don't let your fear of making mistakes stand in the way of your dreams.

Trafficking within the Family System: Considerations for Mental Health Professionals
Kristy Eldredge, EdD, LPC, ACS, NCC & Jesaira Glover, MA | September 21 | 11:30 AM-12:30 PM | Room 2582
Topic: Direct Service | Knowledge Level: Beginner, Intermediate
With the increase of public policy, media attention, and legislation, the issue of human trafficking has become more widely known to society and mental health clinicians, alike (Logan, Walker, & Hunt, 2009). However, one area that has not received significant attention is the impact on the survivor when the trafficking is perpetrated by the family-of-origin. Just as human trafficking has historically, yet inaccurately, been viewed as an international problem, so, too, has it been viewed as an issue perpetrated by criminals outside of the family (e.g. pimps, gangs, organized criminal groups). The dynamics inherent in familial relationships complicate the survivor's ability to reveal the abuse or get away from the trafficking environment. In this workshop, the presenters will explore common features of human trafficking and discuss how these features differ when the trafficking is perpetrating by a family system. Given the complicating factors inherent in intra-familial trafficking, the presenters will present clinical considerations necessary for effective mental health counseling with a client who has been trafficked by their own family members. These factors include but are not limited to: trauma bonds that increase concealment of the abuse (Middleton, Sachs, & Dorahy, 2017), betrayal trauma (Birrel & Freyd, 2006), the lack of a safe family to return to, implications for children born from the trafficking (Surtees, 2017), and the likelihood of continuous threats or danger if the survivor leaves the family system.
Presentation Objectives:
· Identify how symptoms of complex trauma may manifest within the context of the trafficking family system.
· Differentiate the common features of intra-familial human trafficking from non-familial human trafficking.
· Distinguish the unique challenges faced by clients and clinicians when working with intra-familial human trafficking.

Learning different languages can be fun and enriching. If you're a frequent traveler or you're assigned to work in another country, the more you should learn how to speak the language of the place you're going to visit. This will enable you to easily communicate with the locals there. So when in Denmark, learn to speak the Danish language.
It's easy to learn the basic Danish greetings and words. They're not really hard to speak. They're easy to remember as well. I will share with you some of them with the hope that you will be encouraged to learn to speak Danish. There's no harm in trying so give it your best shot.
|Good day
|Good morning
|God morgen
|Good afternoon
|God eftermiddag
|Good evening
|Good night
|Farvel or hej hej (pronounced as hi hi)
|Thank you
|You're welcome
|Selv tak
|Ja (pronounced as ya or yo)
|Nej (pronounced as nigh)
|How are you?
|Hvordan har de det?
|Good, thank you
|Godt, tak.
|Do you speak English?
|Taler du engelsk?
|Hej (pronounced as hi)
|I'm lost
|Jeg er faret vild (ya far vid)
|Sorry/Excuse me
|Undskyld (on-skood)
|See you later
|Vi ses senere (vi sis sinar)
The Danish words and the way they're spoken have a bit of similarity with the German language. A good friend of mine from Germany taught me a few basic words when she visited me more than a decade ago. You too can learn if you get a small language book for travelers or browse through the internet for more Danish language resources. Study them on your own and keep practicing and you'll eventually be successful in your goal. Good luck!

Egypt's Minister of Petroleum has announced that there are significant resources, in that part of the desert, which may open up new horizons and allow for an increase in reserves and in the country's oil production
New oil explorations in the Western region of the Egyptian desert are encouraging. The statement came from the Egyptian Minister of Petroleum Tariq Al-Mulla, as quoted by the newspaper "al Masry al Youm". During a meeting with representatives of the petroleum company Badr El-Din, the minister said that the surveys on geological strata open up new prospects for research and exploration activities and for the country's hydrocarbon reserves. "There are new areas that, for the first time, will undergo geological explorations and we believe that the results will be encouraging and will open up new horizons for an increase in domestic oil and gas reserves and production", said Al-Mulla.

From electric cars to solar panels, demand for energy-efficient products has grown significantly in recent decades. Now, however, it's not just consumer and industrial products that are going green, but the companies who make them.
In early May 2016, the Energy Department called for proposals for a new Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute, tasked with developing ways boost energy efficiency in manufacturing.
The new institute, known as the Modular Chemical Process Intensification Institute, is the fourth in a series of institutes launched by the Energy Department within the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI).
U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz explained the reasoning behind this latest initiative in the official announcement, saying: "This new institute will help America maintain its leadership in developing chemical manufacturing processes that can make our industries more energy efficient, protect our air and water, and help reduce the impacts of climate change."
Making manufacturing greener
The Energy Department's new institute will focus on chemical manufacturing, finding ways to streamline complex processes like mixing, reaction, and separation by merging them into a single step. However, this is just one of many ways manufacturers are reducing their energy output.
Some of the more widespread advanced manufacturing trends include: powering factories and warehouses with solar energy, recycling or repurposing materials that would have previously been discarded, 3D-printing parts (also known as "additive manufacturing") to reduce waste, and using sustainable fuel to power transportation at the shipping stage.
Energy-efficient manufacturing in Washington state
Evidence of greener manufacturing methods can be found right here in Washington state. In April 2016, Senator Maria Cantwell, also a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, discussed the need to invest in advanced manufacturing that "can improve efficiency, reduce emissions and increase U.S. competitiveness."
Cantwell listed Boeing's new, state-of-the-art wing facility, Redmond-based 3D-printing company Planetary Resources and the Port of Port Angeles' innovative recycling program as just some of the examples of the state's advanced manufacturing growth.

On the day after my arrival, the weekly Mon. critique gave me an opportunity to see what the other AIR's were doing and gave me a chance to introduce my own work. It was clear that CAC had drawn each and every artist because of the uniqueness of the space. Between each artist I could connect a thread of common ideas, philosophies, and sensitivity to detail with poetic use of imagery through different mediums. This introduction made me very eager to see how the rest of the residency and interactions with everyone would unfold.

Health at Every Size dietitian Lisa Pearl joins us to discuss breaking down internalized weight bias, how we relate to food and our bodies, fighting back against diet culture, the importance of a HAES approach to eating disorder treatment, body image and finding self-compassion, and so much more! PLUS, Christy answers a listener question about letting go of the weight-loss ideal.
As an undergraduate, Lisa double majored in biology and nutrition. Her postgraduate studies have included clinical nutrition, expressive movement therapy, fellowships in adolescent medicine, nutrition support and psychiatry, and executive coaching.
Lisa began her work as an eating disorder specialist more than 30 years ago at Children's Hospital in Boston. During her tenure at Children's Hospital, she worked with a team to seek new and better advances in treatment for eating disorders. With their support, she was able to incorporate many new treatment ideas including behavioral therapy groups, family meals and parent groups, expressive movement therapy and yoga, and a mindful eating program. Lisa has been an advocate for HAES throughout her career.
While at Children's Hospital she received national recognition for demonstrating the need for a multidisciplinary team approach to the treatment of eating disorders and for her work with the Joint Commission for Hospital Accreditation to improve patient care through the inclusion of nutrition therapy for eating disorders.
Through the years Lisa has continued to push the envelope of innovation with presentations at local and national conferences. She has worked as a consultant for MIT, Harvard University, Boston Ballet, and numerous independent and public schools for prevention, education, and treatment of eating disorders. She has written health curriculums and protocols for numerous public and private organizations. Lisa has directed internships and provided mentoring for dietetic, social work, and medical students. She has served on the Board of Directors for Anorexia, Bulimia Care, Feeding Ourselves, and MEDA.
Lisa has received the ADA's Recognized Dietitian of the Year Award and the Governor's Commendation for Excellence in Public Service. In 2012, she was honored at MEDA's Annual Gala.
Lisa has volunteered as a community organizer for City Year and Habitat for Humanity as well as working on school boards, and various community efforts to bring awareness to human rights.
Most recently, Lisa is spearheading a new graduate program at Simmons College for clinicians who would like to work in the treatment of eating disorders. This program will provide dietitians with the opportunity to receive both academic training as well as internship opportunities.

Some 48 people have been arrested in an anti-mafia operation against the 'Ndrangheta crime syndicate based in the Calabria region, Italian authorities said.
Assets worth about 25 million euros (29.44 million U.S. dollars) were seized during the raid, which targeted a powerful clan of the 'Ndrangheta. Some 44 people were jailed, and another four put under house arrests, police said in a statement.
Suspects were charged with mafia association, extortion, fraudulent transfer of assets, and illegal possession of weapons.
The former mayor and a former councilor in Taurianova, a town near Reggio Calabria, were among those arrested.
The town had seen its municipality dissolved three times by the government on suspicion of mafia infiltration in 1991, 2009 and 2013 respectively.
According to prosecutors, former mayor Domenico Romeo played a role in favoring illegal activities of local clans.
The probe was launched in 2012, and helped reveal "how the local government in the town (under the former mayor) shaped its political and administrative activity in order to meet the interests and the requests of the 'Ndrangheta," investigators wrote in the statement.
The former mayor was charged with external mafia association, and the councilor of being an active member of the mafia group.
Assets sized included 22 companies operating in the financial, food, agriculture, and transport sectors, at least 65 plots of land, and 15 vehicles.
Material assets were worth about 11.8 million euros, while the overall value of the seizure reached 25 million euros, according to judicial authorities. (1 euro = 1.18 U.S. dollars)

Robert Gould was a minor British television writer of the 1960s and 1970s who never actually delivered a completed script to the Doctor Who production office, but nevertheless had a dubious distinction in Doctor Who history. He was the first person to make a formal charge that the programme's production office had plagiarised his work.
Some time between 4 February and 26 March 1964 production, he took up his case with Head of Serials, Donald Wilson. Gould alleged that Terry Nation, via script editor David Whitaker, had, in his script for "The Screaming Jungle", used his idea of a planet where plants were at the top of the evolutionary chain. He believed that since he had told Whitaker about this idea in a 4 February story conference, Whitaker would have had time to pass it on to Nation before the recording of "Jungle".
Whitaker's defence, in a 26 March memo to Wilson, apparently put paid to any possible lawsuit, however. In it, he flatly stated that Nation had independently arrived at using vegetation in the third episode of The Keys of Marinus, and that Gould's vaguely-defined idea has itself been derivative, anyway. According to Whitaker, Gould's 4 February story conference had yielded no specifics about the potential storyline, and that Gould's notion of a planet where "plants treat people as people treat plants", had immediately reminded both him and Verity Lambert of The Day of the Triffids.
Prior to this dispute, Gould had been the second of three writers who tried to write a story of the Doctor and his companions being greatly reduced in size. He had been relieved of that task by Whitaker on 4 February when it proved too difficult. Ultimately his failed assignment would be completed by Louis Marks' Planet of Giants.

Networking: 6 Ways To Make It A Little More Exciting
I'm sure you've heard this saying before:
And you bet it's true!
Networking is an extraordinary chance to help your career grow. Not only you get to interact with people in your industry, but you can also begin a relationship with them.
Fact is: I'm beyond excited to attend two of the most popular events in my field. FinCon in Dallas, and Money20/20 in Las Vegas.
(I'd have laughed if you had told me a year ago that the 1st time I'd be in Las Vegas would be for a financial conference. But here we are! 😊)
So, to make it a little more fun, I've compiled a list of 6 networking tips to start testing out right away.
Let's get down to business!
1. Tell your network where you are going
Tweet it out, post it on Facebook, share it on Instagram.
When you let your network know where you're going to be, they might happen to be there too, or know someone there who wants to connect.
Here's what I posted after getting my ticket for #FinCon17:
I just bought my ticket for @FinCon & I'm so excited I can't hide it! #FinCon17 #FinTech #FemTech #SheBanking #PersonalFinance pic.twitter.com/ezEaPgs0zT— Miriam Ballesteros (@mirballgo) 27 de septiembre de 2017
It's always good to let people know when you're coming because what could be a trip for one meeting might turn into lots of opportunities.
2. Bring business cards
Some people say business cards are on the verge of extinction.
I don't agree.
We no longer use business cards to share contact information —there's phones and LinkedIn for that. Instead, business cards have become an extension of our brands.
I recently order mine at Moo.com, and this is how they look like:
The details you may want to include are basically: logo, name, tagline, website, email, Twitter & Instagram handle, and phone number.
But on a personal note, I think adding a photo makes it easier for people to match a name to a face, which can be helpful after the event.
3. Go in with conversation starters
"How about that weather, huh?"
Just kidding.
There are better ways to get the conversation ball rolling. My favorites go-to icebreakers include:
- Anything related to the event: "I'm a first timer at #FinCon17. How did you find out about this event?"
- A non-cliché career-related question: "What do you like most about what you do?"
A discussion of an awesome read you've enjoyed, be it an article or a book: "I recently read Linchpin by Seth Godin, and I thought it was really interesting. Have you read anything good lately?"
A non-controversial news topic: "Wow, I just can't believe all the crazy headlines today. What a week!"
A breather from some other stuffier subjects: "What do you like to do when you're not in the office?"
Something funny: "I'll be honest, the only person I know here is the bartender, and I just met him two minutes ago. Mind if I introduce myself?
Or something as simple as: "What an amazing city. Have you been to Dallas before?"
The best part?
All these questions will likely be turned on you, giving you an opportunity to expand on your experience, and share a few of your skills!
4. Get personal
While being professional is a must, I do believe that sharing a little bit more about yourself is a great way to make genuine connections.
As Achim Nowak, author of Infectious: How to Connect Deeply and Unleash the Energetic Leader Within, puts it:
5. Dress for networking success
Here goes one of my favorite tips:
Wear something that makes you feel great — your power outfit, a trendy blazer, a statement necklace, or your go-to power meeting suit.
The point is walking into a room feeling comfortable, and knowing you look fabulous.
That is a serious confidence booster.
6. Follow-up
Make sure to stay connected with the people you actually like and want to build meaningful relationships with.
Take a look at the business cards you received, email them, or add on LinkedIn those you met while it's still fresh in your mind.
It really is that simple.
*BONUS TIP* Leave your business card in the in-flight mag
I've got a confession to make.
This week will be the first time I do this: leaving my business card as a bookmark in the magazine that's in the back of the seat on the airplane.
Yes, you read that right.
Business people will typically flip through this magazine at some point during the flight. So if you just happen to leave your business card as a bookmark in it, they might find it intriguing, and give you a call.
Bringing it all together
Rather than thinking of networking only as an "event", consider it an ongoing process of building new relationships with people in your industry.
Here are some ways to make it less intimidating —and even a little more fun:
- Tell your network where you are going
- Bring business cards
- Go in with conversation starters
- Get personal
- Dress for networking success
- Follow-up
- Leave your business card in the in-flight mag
Now it's your turn to help yourself by being more connected to people in your niche.
It's all about who knows you! 😉

Many definitions of entrepreneurship could be discovered in the literature describing enterprise processes. Social business is partially business as standard (processes, group, targets, income, and so on.) and partially enterprise as uncommon (scale, social ecosystems, actual-time economy, many-to-many, and many others.). Enterprise Intelligence is extra of a primary step for companies to take after they want the flexibility to make information-pushed selections.
A enterprise is a company which produces and sells goods or which provides a service. Let's go over what the business tax definition is and the way your can prepare for it. Enterprise data management brings Business Intelligence and Enterprise Content material Management together.
The term can also be typically used colloquially (but not by attorneys or by public officials) to check with a company An organization, alternatively, is a separate authorized entity and provides for limited liability , in addition to corporate tax rates.
SAS describes Massive Information as a time period that describes the massive quantity of data – both structured and unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis.†What's important to bear in mind about Massive Knowledge is that the amount of knowledge is not as essential to a corporation because the analytics that accompany it. When firms analyze Large Information, they're utilizing Enterprise Analytics to get the insights required for making higher business decisions and strategic moves.
Companies have a variety of causes to outsource their providers to different international locations however one essential purpose why they do that is as a result of they save loads of money and time which is perhaps the most important facet of it all.

What the World Can't Take Away
Let's start the story here. It's 2008. Massachusetts. The phone's not ringing at Michael Vaudreuil's plastering business. It hasn't for months. Twenty-four years. For 24 years, half the guy's life, the phone has rung, he's plastered for his customers and he's put food on the table, heat in the house for his three kids and wife.
His background was aeronautical engineering. He'd gotten an associate's degree in it. But then airline deregulation happened. So he changed course. Built this plastering business. Built it until it was really something. And now, 2008, nothing.
He closes his business. Files for bankruptcy. His house is foreclosed on. His car is repossessed. It's like the world is taking all the big things away from him. "Just a shell of a person," is how he describes himself.
Mr. Vaudreuil (you say it, "VU-dray") looks for work. Something. Anything. And he finds a job: custodian at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It's half of what he used to make. The hours are crummy - graveyard shift. But he takes it.
He cleans chalkboards. Vacuums carpets. Scrubs tables. And to cut the pain he's got, that empty shell feeling, he takes some classes at WPI. It's free for employees. He designs a prototype of a fuel cartridge. He starts to feel a little better. Like he's doing something worthwhile.
He takes more classes. The students are nice to him. They are also decades younger than him. They study in cafes and go drinking at night. He studies in the custodian closet and vacuums at night. Somewhere in there, he gets four and a half hours of sleep. He takes it one day at a time, he says.
But those days add up and those classes add up. And now in the story, it's 2016.
Mr. Vaudreuil is with his fellow students. But he's not in class. He's taken enough classes. Enough to get a degree in mechanical engineering. And he's at graduation. Getting a bachelor's degree for the first time. Him, Michael Vaudreuil, age 54.
After he graduates, word gets out about his story. Companies in California and Michigan and New Hampshire hear about him. They want to hire him. He doesn't know which he'll take. But he knows his phone is ringing again.
And it's eight years after bankruptcy and foreclosure and feeling like a shell of a man. Eight years after all the big stuff was taken away from him.
Which, of course, it wasn't.
Because the world could take the business and the house and the car away from Michael Vaudreuil. But there was something bigger left, some spirit or heart or fire still burning in that shell.
And the world couldn't take that away from Michael Vaudreuil.

Selecting a Coach: What are you Looking for?/
I've noticed some of my first time clients express their confusion about what they should even be looking for in a coach. They know they want help, and they know it's wise to shop around, but they don't even really know what they're looking for, or what makes one coach different from another.
This post is for those of you out there who are shopping for a coach, but don't know how to evaluate which coach will be most effective for you. Here are five key things that I look for when choosing a coach. I've tried to make them generic enough for any kind of coaching, and I've organized them starting with things you can learn from a coach's profile or website, and moving towards more nuanced things that come after meeting the coach.
1. They have expertise in people like you.
If you're looking for a relationship coach and the problem you've been having in your relationships is infidelity, then you want to be looking for a coach that knows something about infidelity. Their online profile or website should probably speak about infidelity. Maybe their tag line is "Fidelitous Relationships for All!" or maybe they're just a general relationship coach. Either way they know something about relationships. Don't ask a business coach to help you with your relationship issues.
2. They respond to you and are professional.
Many people become coaches because they're sold on it being a get-rich-quick scheme. They throw up a website or profile and then never actually respond to inquiries because they gave up when the money didn't come pouring in. (And never go around to taking the website down.) Avoid hunting down the *perfect* coach based on their website. Find multiple coaches, as many as 8 or more, who could work for you and message them all. Not all will message you back, but this will still give you some options.
Furthermore, Coaching is an unregulated profession, literally any one with any level of education and skill can call themselves a coach. When seeking a coach it's good to look for competency indicators, like a professional looking website, well written content and email responses that are respectful and clear.
3. You can actually meet with them before committing.
There's a common coaching business model that involves offering a sorts of online classes and webinars, but making one on one sessions outrageously expensive, Sometimes online offerings will come with a smattering of 30 minute one on one sessions. Often the most personalized contact you get with the coach before enrolling is a group call.
There's nothing wrong with this business model and it works well for hundreds of coaching clients. And, if you're looking for customized, one on one sessions, then this type of coaching does not provide that. Dig a little deeper down into your search results, search for local coaches, or use a site like noomii.com, and you'll find those of us who see the immense effectiveness of one on one custom sessions.
It's very common for coaches to charge $100 - $125 per hour, so before you pay more than that, make sure you have a chance to establish that the coach is worth more than that in resume as well as in in-session skill. It's also very common for coaches to offer a 30 or 60 minute free consultation session in order to establish if it's a good coaching fit.
4. You connect with their style when you meet them.
You're finally in your consultation session with a coach who looked great on paper (or screen, as is more likely.) So now what? Now you're looking to see what the interpersonal dynamic is. The power in coaching doesn't come from the coach but from the relationship between the coach and coachee. So you're looking for how you and the coach relate. Is it easy and comfortable? Are you uncomfortable or distracted by your coach? Are you a healthy sort of uncomfortable because the coach finds your self-limiting beliefs or other blocks?
5. They offer something of value.
In a perfect first session with the perfect coach, the coach would tell you things you don't already know or can't immediately see for yourself. Sometimes it's a *duh, I knew that!* but if you hadn't actually been reaching that destination yourself, then the coach has provided some value. Sometimes this can occur in the first session, and sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and commit because it doesn't surface until a later session. Either way, this is the type of revelation that you're looking for in a coach. If you've found someone who does that, you've found a good one!
Looking for more?
I hope this has been informative and beneficial for those of you seeking a coach. Obviously this isn't the end all and be all of things to consider but it's a solid starting point. If you're looking for a specific type of coach feel free to drop me a line and I'll connect you to one of my colleagues who might be able to help. And of course, if you're looking for an assessment session with a business coach, you've already found one!

The smartphone takeover. I'm Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear. How many people do you know with smartphones? BlackBerries, Androids and iPhones are everywhere these days. But there is plenty of room for them to grow according to the NPD Group where the executive director of industry analysis, Ross Rubin, says they still represent only about a third of the mobile phones sold in the U.S...
"You know smartphone prices have come down considerably. We've seen them for 99 dollars, in some cases less. We're starting to see them free, given away free with contracts. And at some point we're going to reach a level where the 30 dollar a month mandatory data plan is really the limiting factor to their growth."
For now...the Android phones arriving on the market have passed Apple's iPhone sales in the U.S....but still trail BlackBerry handsets. You can find us with archives, interviews and more at BootCamp.com. I'm Fred Fishkin.

Fashion Gxd Magazine : How did the idea for your business come about?
As a child I always enjoyed being on stage, and my mother took full advantage of that. For high school i attended Boston Arts Academy as a theater major and all bets were off. I then fell in love with the whole production experience. I found out there I was a much better boss than performer. After a few more years of performing and directing local shows my mother was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer for the second time. She continued to be strong and support me through it all. That's when I knew I needed to bring light to Sarcoma cancer for those who weren't as fortunate to have a survivor like myself. There I was sitting on a cause without an actual company. I wanted to put together grand events while allowing little girls the opportunity to showcase their talents while having a blast. What better way than a beauty pageant right? Finally I put two and two together and here we are today with my very own pageant company Uplifting Little Divas Inc. spreading light and awareness to sarcoma cancer.
Fashion Gxd Magazine : How do you find people to bring into your organization that truly care about the organization the way you do?
It was hard at first bringing new people into Uplifting Little Divas Inc. For a while I was nervous so it was just myself advertising and promoting with family and friends. Simply because they knew how dear the cause was to me. I have always wanted the mission and platform to be heard over the glitz and glam. We welcome people who have witnessed hands on what cancer does as a whole. We also try to look for people who have compassion for our future children as leaders and fighters. As parents we don't get to pick a healthy child over a sick. So ULDI strives to support them both with the people on our team.
Fashion Gxd Magazine : What three pieces of advice would you give to other children who want to become entrepreneurs
Three pieces of advice I would give children who want to become entrepreneurs would be simple. First off never give up. Don't let yesterdays distractions dictate tomorrow's accomplishments. Second always give 100% at whatever it is you want to do. If you want to be a professional bubble gum chewer make sure you're the best to ever chew gum. Last but not least never let anyone tell you what you cannot do. Doubt is the biggest form of flattery. Let one's doubt be the battery in your pack to always work ten times harder.
Fashion Gxd Magazine :If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently?
If I had the chance to start my career over the only thing I would do differently would be believing in myself and fully diving all in. That alone took away from opportunities and accomplishments. In the beginning my mother would always say "don't let your want for perfection turn into procrastination". All the ideas in the world go unnoticed when you don't execute them first hand.
Fashion Gxd Magazine :What would you say are the top three skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur ?
The top three skills I feel you need as a successful entrepreneur would be one communication. In order for you to get your point across when running your company you have to be able to communicate well with others. Be assertive but still respectful. The second would be time management, It is very important to make deadlines for yourself, meet others, and run on time when being an entrepreneur. Time is truly valuable to not just your team but your clients as well. Last professionalism. No matter how good you brand your company or how good your product is if you have a nasty attitude or bad energy no one is ever going to want to work with you. Remain humble you never know who's watching.
Fashion Gxd Magazine :What have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them?
At this very moment I wouldn't consider my setbacks as failures. I expected challenges when building something from the ground up, more than anything it's shown me how diligent I can be.
Fashion Gxd Magazine : How many hours do you work a day on average?
On a normal day I feel like I'm branding, sending invoices and responding to emails all day. Outside of running Uplifting Little Divas Inc. I also work a 9-5 at a law firm. Even there I'm fully invested in promoting my events and going over details live from my desk. Over all I dedicate at least 20 hours a week to ULDI.
Fashion Gxd Magazine :Describe/outline your typical day?
My typical day starts off with being a mom to an amazing four-year-old name Mascyn. After he's fed and out to school I'm in what I like to call full pageant mode. For 40 minutes I'm checking emails and responding to event inquiries. Once I get ready and head to work I make 213 calls a day. In between each call I'm typically promoting on social media or searching the web for new branding ideas. I take an hour break, for 30 minutes I eat, and the next half is dedicated to passing out flyers and business cards Down Town Boston. Once my shift ends, back home where I put my supermom cape on. Once Mascyns is ready for bed I'll spend between an hour to an hour and a half connecting with my team, event coordinators and vendors. Just thinking about it made me exhausted but it's all worth it.
Fashion Gxd Magazine : How has being an entrepreneur affected your family life?
Thus far being an entrepreneur has not affected my life in a negative way. In most ways it's had a great toll on things. Being tired is normal, being overwhelmed is natural and being successful is a necessity. Being an entrepreneur has given my family a brighter future to look forward to.
Fashion Gxd Magazine :What motivates you?
When asked what motivates me I instantly think of my son. I want him to know what it feels like to sign checks and not wait for one. Second would be my mom, cancer has taken such a big toll on her life since the age 16 and if my organization can help prevent that feeling for a little girl or boy out there sign me up. Last but not least every little girl out there that looks like me motivates me. We don't often see our own at the top. I want to be the poster child for strong, dedicated, talented little black girls. Like me too you can become a rose that grew from concrete.
Fashion Gxd Magazine: How do you generate new ideas?
I generate new ideas by attending local pageants, searching the web, and staying up on what kid fashions and activities are in.
Fashion Gxd Magazine : What sacrifices have you had to make to be a successful entrepreneur?
The only sacrifice I have had to make while being an entrepreneur would be cutting off a portion of my social life. I realized in order for my company to be as successful as I want some people needed to out the equation. Some shoes needed to stay at the store and some events could be passed up. I started thinking what was more important a good time or a good ULDI outcome.
Fashion Gxd Magazine : Where you see yourself and your business in 10 years? 20 years?
In 10 years I see both myself and my business fully flourished. I hope to be a house hold name by 2028, just as big as the Miss America Pageant. I hope to host at least 8 kids pageants a year across the country, while generating enough for cancer research for children's hospitals in each state. In 20 years i hope to be retired and a chair member for a great organization like the Jimmy Fund Foundation. I want my pageants to continue to be a way to "Cure with a Crown". This will leave my son and platform a legacy to be proud of.

Investment Advisor Headed to Prison After Alleged Securities Fraud
Renee Marie Brown, 48, was recently sentenced for her involvement with an alleged investment scam that took $750,000 from investors. Brown was an investment advisor and a partner in Wildwood Wealth Management. Although Brown had previously pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of securities fraud, money laundering, and wire fraud in May 2011, she later pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud as part of a plea deal.
According to prosecutors, Brown offered annual returns of 8% to 9% to her clients on a bond fund called "Fund X." Unfortunately, prosecutors believe that Brown failed to invest any of the cash taken in, and instead used investors' cash to fund her own personal luxuries, including a $500,000 condominium.
Brown's attorney asked for leniency in Brown's sentencing since investors have already been paid back, but prosecutors pointed out that it was actually Brown's partners who paid back what was owed to investors. Brown also allegedly attempted initially to mislead the court with a false name and attempted to lie to investors about the losses. Brown was ultimately sentenced to four years in prison and will have to pay restitution of $618,000. Of that, $599,000 will be paid to her partners at Wildwood Wealth Management who compensated the harmed investors.
The securities fraud lawyers with Meyer Wilson are available to represent investors nationwide in stockbroker mediation, arbitration, and litigation. We have over 50 years of collective experience helping harmed investors pursue loss recovery, and we look forward to speaking with you.

Chief Bamigboye: "I did not raise you to raise your hand against a woman, you worthless son"
Brian: "You are the useless father, were you sleeping with my fiancée?" he said and made to grab Bimpe, but she held his hand.
Bimpe: "You dare not hit me again. You think I didn't know you were after my wealth, I know everything, Brian, and that is why I refused a court marriage. I was ready to pretend and marry you, just to make your father happy, because I thought if I married you, I could be close to him. But I cannot imagine myself bond to you with the bonds of marriage. You are a despicable person" she turned to the priest, with a sober face.
Bimpe: "I have never slept with Chief Bamigboye, but my heart yearns for him, and I know he yearns for me too. Join us now" she turned to Chief Bamigboye and held him.
Bimpe: "We can live our life; we must not allow ourselves to be bound by the chains of society. I love you" she said passionately. At that moment her father opened the big oak doors of the cathedral and walked in.
Ladejo: "Bimpe" she turned and saw her foster father, her mouth opened in surprise.

Strange woman: "Mualaikum salaam my son" she replied and Yusuf sat up.
Yusuf: "Mother, is it you. Where have you been?"
Alhaja: "You can't leave the country, I need you"
Yusuf: "We have to look for a way to get you out of the country, you are a fugitive now"
Alhaja: "I won't leave the country till the person who did this to us is recompensed" Yusuf thought of Bimpe and sighed. Maybe in another life, they would have been married now. After he lost everything, he began to see that buried under all his desire to get back his father's properties, he had fallen for Bimpe, he had fought these feelings every time, but his heart won every time. He loved her but they could never forgive each other for the hurt they have each caused the other.
Yusuf: "Mother, you cannot hurt Bimpe. Killing father was not enough? How did you turn so evil?" Alhaja Zainab turned in her seat and gave Yusuf a resounding slap.
Alhaja: "I did not kill your father, I might not be a saint, but I would never hurt your father. That girl Bimpe is the murderer; I have no doubt about that" Yusuf thought back to when his abductors wanted to kill him, but Bimpe allowed him live, even when she knew that he could harm someday.
Yusuf: "Even if she did, we have to do everything legally. Two wrongs don't make a right"
Alhaja: "She bribes everyone even the judge, even my own damn lawyer. Nobody wants to do any investigation; they want me to be the fall woman. I will do this my way."
Yusuf: "Then I really must catch my flight. I hope you see the light early, before the darkness destroys you. Farewell Mother" he stood up and began to walk away.
Alhaja: "Please Yusuf, don't leave, Yusuf!" people began to stare at them, and Alhaja, afraid that she would call attention to herself rushed out of the lobby, into the morning sun. Since, the day she ran away from the stairs of the courthouse, she had met a friend of hers who helped her access her offshore accounts. So even though she was on the road, she lacked nothing, she had already recruited people who would keep 24 hours surveillance on Bimpe, she wanted to know everything she was doing.
"This time, when I strike, you must go down" she pondered in her heart.
Bimpe: "Uncle, what are you doing here? You refused to give me out for marriage today, when you know my parents are dead. I don't want to see you. Just leave immediately" she yelled. Ladejo's heart broke, he tried to say something but the look in Bimpe's eyes shut him up; he turned and went back the same way he came. The guests, when they left their houses, had not bargained for the drama they were watching now. They stayed glued to their seats, not wanting to miss any part of the drama.
Priest: "Are you willing to take this woman as your wife?" he asked looking at Chief Bamigboye. Chief Bamigboye was too stunned to answer. He could not believe that a woman such as Bimpe wanted him as a husband. But he wondered what the marriage would do to his family, especially his children. He felt a hand on his back, when he turned, he saw his friend, Doctor Dapo.
Dapo: "Think this through, you don't have to do it today" he said. Bimpe looked at him and wondered why he was intent on scattering her plans, but she kept her cool. Then Dapo turned and their eyes both met. For a moment, they were immersed in each other's eyes, but the moment passed.
Chief Bamigboye: "I don't want to wait, I want to marry Bimpe now." He said firmly. The priest blessed them, and they exchanged their vows.
Oyinda had traveled to avoid her brother's wedding day, when she came back, she found out the worst thing had happened. Bimpe, her former roommate, someone who was on the lower rung of the ladder, was now her stepmother.
Oyinda: "Why the hell did you allow this happen? Did you just sit down and allowed your ex girlfriend become your step mother?" she yelled. Just then Bimpe walked into the kitchen.
Bimpe: "Hello children. No bickering in my kitchen, go to your rooms" she said with a wicked grin. Brian rushed towards her but Bimpe pulled out a knife from the knife rack and brandished it.
Bimpe: "Do I have to hire a bodyguard because of you? Instead of bickering in my kitchen, you should start looking for a wife. You know what is at stake, don't you?" she snarled.
Oyinda: "You are such a conniving bitch; you never wanted to marry Brian, did you. You always had eyes for my father "
Bimpe: "He is very handsome and intelligent; it seems to me though, that you two missed the intelligence gene. This is just the beginning my dear children" she said and left the kitchen. As she passed through the living room, wanting to go up the stairs, Chief saw her.
Chief: "Bimpe, what are you doing with a knife, you want to hurt yourself?"
Bimpe: "It is for protection. Brian threatened me; I don't feel safe in this house anymore"
Chief: "What do you mean, is Brian giving you problems? I know just want to do" He left Bimpe on the staircase, and proceeded to his private study. He always took very important calls in his study.
The next morning, Chief Bamigboye called a breakfast meeting. Bimpe was not ready to slave herself for anybody, so she had employed housekeepers as soon as she got into the house. So while the housekeepers set the foods on the table, Chief told them his mind.
Chief: "All your trust funds are in my new wife's hands; she has a conglomerate, if she could manage that, she can manage your trust fund appropriately"
Brian: "What!"
Oyinda: "What has come over you father, to what purpose are you doing this?"
Chief: "I waited for you guys to grow up and be responsible, but I have been waiting a long time and none of you is stepping up. I do not want to die and my legacy dies with me. I will leave all I have in the hands of someone who is responsible.
Brian: "That will be over my dead body" he pound the glass table with his hard fist and the table gave in, breaking into pieces, and spewing the whole breakfast on the occupants of the table.
Oyinda: "The battle line has been drawn. Bimpe must leave this house or else…" she joined in. They both stood up and left.
Chief Bamigboye had gone to meet his lawyer, he wanted to change his will, but unknown to him, his son had an informant in the law firm that managed Chief's assets and legal issues. So Brian was at home, when his phone rang, he saw it was his informant from the Law firm. He received the call and after listening for a while, his face contorted into rage, and his fist was folded. He hung up and threw the phone at the wall.
Brian: "I wonder how you got rich, was it by claiming other people's inheritance? If so, you have come to the wrong house. I will not spare you" he said and walked to his wardrobe, he removed several piles of clothes, and then he brought out a parcel wrapped in a white cloth, he unwrapped the white cloth, and behold, it was a silver pistol. He dropped the cloth and left his room, the gun held firmly in his hand.
Brian: "You have bitten more than you can chew, Bimpe" he said as he descended the staircase one after the other. He could already see Bimpe and his father in the living room; Bimpe had her head on Chief's chest.
Question: What is going to happen to Bimpe, will Brian go through with his intent?"

Pop singer Olly Murs, who shot to fame after coming second on UK TV talent show The X Factor in 2009, admits he has been in relationships in recent years but prefers to keep his personal life out of the spotlight. The 28 year-old singer said "I've had girlfriends these past few years but no one got to find out who they were, and they were never girls who wanted the attention. I want to find a girl who my family would like. You're not going to find that at a showbiz event."
Olly also admitted he knows some of the attention he receives from girls wouldn't come his way if he weren't famous. He told Live magazine "Look, I'll be sitting in a bar and a really hot girl with a perfect body and long brown or blonde hair will come up to me. Stunning. But I know damn well that four years ago she'd have never have looked at me."
Despite the lavish lifestyle fame offers, the Troublemaker hitmaker insists the best thing about his success is being able to help his family, saying "What you want is to be able to provide for your family, make life better. this is all for them, to show them I can make a better life for us all."

Published January 13, 2017
Vietnamese authorities released and promptly exiled a blogger and democracy activist held for six years on charges of subversion.
Đặng Xuân Diệu, an engineer, member of pro-democracy party Việt Tân, and member of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, was released on Thursday afternoon from prison camp K3 in the city of Vũng Tàu and taken straight to Tân Sơn Nhất Airport under heavy police escort. The 37-year-old was put on a commercial flight to Paris and arrived Friday at Charles De Gaulle airport.
Diệu's family members, who live in Nghệ An province in the northern region of Việt Nam, were informed of his release just a day before he was escorted to the airport in Sài Gòn, making it impossible for them to make travel arrangements to see him before he was exiled.
Diệu was arrested in 2011 during a widespread crackdown on dissent. He was later convicted along with thirteen other young activists, all charged with "attempting to overthrow the state" and sentenced to between three to 13 years in prison. Diệu received the harshest sentence of 13 years. He has suffered extreme mistreatment in prison and has launched multiple hunger strikes in protest, refusing to accept guilt or wear prison uniforms.
Diệu was serving the sixth year of his 13-year sentence when European Union officials struck an agreement with the Vietnamese government for his release. France was the EU country to offer political asylum.
"Many organizations and elected officials campaigned for Diệu's freedom. After his mistreatment became known, thousands of people sent postcards to the prison where Diệu was held. A former inmate told me that wardens didn't deliver the postcards to Diệu but many in the prison -- guards and prisoners -- understood that Diệu had garnered international support. It's with that momentum that I believe the Hà Nội government agreed to release Diệu on 'humanitarian grounds'. No one should be exiled from their own country but I'm relieved that Diệu's ordeal is over," Duy Hoàng, a spokesperson for Viêt Tân, said.
The BBC reports that Diệu is in need of medical treatment. In a 2015 interview, Diệu's former cellmate Trương Minh Tam told Loa that Diệu had been beaten, denied access to adequate food and clean drinking water, and forced to eat and sleep next to his excrement. Tam urged the international community to advocate for Diệu due to his dire conditions.
The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UNWGAD) ruled in 2013 that the Hà Nội government violated Vietnamese and international law by arbitrarily detaining Diệu and the 13 activists. This ruling came as a result of a petition filed by Allen Weiner, director of the Stanford Program in International Law at Stanford Law School, who serves as Diệu's international lawyer.
Speaking on the power of advocacy, Weiner told Loa that international law sometimes "seems like a weak tool to try to invoke protection of freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, and freedom of assembly." He said Diệu's release "highlights the limits of the Vietnamese government's repressive power. It shows how the actions of civil society movements, international organizations, and governments around the world that support human rights can help defend the human rights of Việt Nam's citizens." The Vietnamese government has previously released and exiled prominent dissidents, such as bloggers Điếu Cày and Tạ Phong Tần. For dissidents who long to continue organizing in Việt Nam, the Vietnamese authorities' tactic of exile is another method of quelling dissent. For family members of dissidents, it is another form of punishment.
Đặng Xuân Hà, brother of Đặng Xuân Diệu, told the BBC, "While we are happy that Diệu has been released from prison, one profound sadness is that my 70-year-old mother wanted to see her son before he left, but was not able to."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Pitching coach Bob McClure and bench coach John Gibbons will not return with the Kansas City Royals next season.
Manager Ned Yost said Thursday that the two coaches will not be on his staff in 2012.
Hitting coach Kevin Seitzer, first base coach Doug Sisson, third base coach Eddie Rodriguez and bullpen coach Steve Foster will be back.
McClure served as the team's pitching coach the past six seasons, helping tutor Zack Greinke to the AL Cy Young in 2009. But the Kansas City pitchers struggled much of the year, particularly when it came to pitch count, and Yost says he wanted a new voice for the staff.
Gibbons had been the bench coach the past three seasons. Yost says he wants to find someone who can help tutor the Royals' young catchers.

While the majority of divorce cases result in the equal distribution of assets, some Illinois divorce disputes are much more complicated and contentious in nature. In some cases, divorce litigation is necessary, and a judge may be required to consider the actions of each party in the process of deciding property division arrangements. A judge recently ruled on one high-profile case, finding that the husband should be held accountable for spending his family's money irresponsibly.
Determining pet custody can lead to major dispute
Whether they own a pet themselves or not, most people may understand how pet owners can grow to regard their furry friends as family members. After all, pets are known to be a great source of joy and companionship, and can bring families closer together. In some instances, however, issues can arise when couples confronting a divorce in Illinois and elsewhere face the prospect of deciding who should keep the animal.
Jailed mother challenges child custody order
Every day, biological parents in Illinois and other states around the country are forced to give up custody of their kids when it's determined that they cannot care for them properly. In such cases, child custody disputes can arise. However, it's not every day that custody arrangements are challenged from jail. One biological mother is currently appealing a child custody ruling from behind bars, illustrating that even those facing criminal charges can continue to deal with some family law issues.
Making divorce work on a budget
No one considering the prospect of ending their marriage in Illinois should be forced to base their decision on whether or not they can afford it. An important life decision like filing for divorce is difficult enough to make without the added burden of worrying about finances. Fortunately, there are ways that people can conserve resources to come to the divorce agreement that is right for them and their family.

Project Title
Power Lines (working title)
Grant Amount
Project Description
Power Lines is a 15 to 25 minute short film about the environmental and economic damages of the expansion of Georgia's Plant Vogtle nuclear power plant, focusing on how power in Georgia–both in the sense of control and electricity–is in the hands of one behemoth monopoly, Georgia Power. This film will expose the degree to which Georgia ratepayers have been stripped of their agency in terms of the sustainability, cost, and health risks associated with this controversial nuclear expansion.
Eight years since the outset of the project, Plant Vogtle expansion has proven to be a magnificent failure. Westinghouse, the contractor tasked with building the reactors, has filed for bankruptcy and pulled out of the project; the timeline has been pushed back an additional five years; and the new price tag is predicted to be $25 billion more than expected. In the current scenario, Georgia Power will continue profiting from the failing project while customers continue to foot the bill.
In weaving together interviews with impactful personal stories, this film will reach audiences on an intellectual and emotional level, digging into the question, "Why is Plant Vogtle being expanded, despite its economic and environmental inviability?"

Selection of proper truck tire gives a comfortable ride and reduces the wear and tear on the tire drive mechanism, brakes and suspension parts. Buy Truck Tires in Sandton many factors determine the selection of suitable type of tire.

Car tires check is an imperative part of automotive inspection in ensuring your safety on the road. Basically for tires, the most common thing to do is to always make sure the tires have adequate and proper amount of air pressure. The tire pressure must be checked when the tire is cold as pressure is affected by temperature. The air temperature inside the tire is increased while driving and causes the tire to expand. A low tire pressure is more dangerous than a little higher pressure because the former makes the tire more susceptible to wear thus presenting the need for replacement. Additionally, when the tire is soft, the car uses more fuel.
The wheels and the tires too should be well balanced. A common procedure is to rotate the tires on a regular basis for an even wearing and to maximize the usability of the tires. If you notice that there is vibration when you are steering the vehicle's wheel while driving, it is an indication that the wheels and tires needs balancing. balancing is especially essential when the tire is new. Not only is steering affected by unbalanced tires and wheels but also the suspension system of the vehicle.
Tires have a certain amount of load that it can carry. When you put too much stuff in the vehicle, it also affects the condition of the tire. When there is excessive load in the car, the tire is possible to come off the rim when the car tries to turn in the road corner. Each vehicle has its appropriate type of tire to be used so depending on the possible loading on that particular vehicle.
What Are the Dangers of Under Inflated Car Tyres?
A wheel chock is a safety device that is intended to prevent a truck or other vehicle from accidental movement. If you're wondering what can happen to make a truck move, just ask the person who was run over by a runaway rolling auto or truck. It probably wasn't chocked. You can see a wheel chock in all sorts of environments including residential, construction, utility, industrial, mining and even aviation. We're just going to address the uses in residential/utility and industrial settings.Potential for an AccidentThere are all kinds of accidents that can make a truck move accidentally, some at the fault of human error and some because of the force of gravity. Some of the causes of accidental movement of a truck include:• Put truck or vehicle in Park. • Put on the Parking brake. • Place wheel chocks on each side of tire - and both tires if you're on a grade.That is the basics of remembering to put a wheel chock in place, so when you're in the business of delivery or maintenance and you must stop your truck frequently, put on the chocks!
Check car tyres regularly for any signs of wear. This is important as they are the only point of contact between a car and the road. Any deterioration of the tread or damage to the sidewalls may be risking an accident.
The basic legal requirements for car tyres are:
a) Tread Depth must be a minimum of 1.6mm. This applies to the entire circumference of the tyre. A bald patch on a tyre, where the tread depth is below the minimum requirement, is against the law. Check a tyre after a skid or emergency braking as this is when bald patches can occur.
b) Tyres must be inflated to the correct pressure. Consult the vehicle manufacturer's handbook to find the recommended pressure. Not only is this a legal requirement, it improves the vehicle's handling and reduces fuel consumption.
5. Speed
Driving at high speeds increases the car tyre temperature and accelerates the wear.
6. Car Tyre Alignment
Incorrect alignment of car tyres causes uneven and increased wear.
7. Driving Style
Aggressive cornering, accelerating and braking excessively are all causes of car tyre wear.
One factor that is unavoidable is time. Tyres deteriorate naturally over time due to the effects of the weather. Vehicles kept outside will degrade faster than those kept in a garage. Cracking due to sunlight exposure usually becomes evident on car tyres that are five years or older. When this happens, as with any signs of wear, replace the car tyre immediately.

MikroTik Hyper-V Serial Console
You can now get MikroTik training direct from Manito Networks. MikroTik Security Guide and Networking with MikroTik: MTCNA Study Guide by Tyler Hart are both available in paperback and Kindle!
I do a lot of work with virtual MikroTik routers, mostly in Microsoft Hyper-V. The CHR is great for labbing-out solutions and developing configuration templates for clients. Unfortunately copy-and-paste operations aren't really possible through the built-in Hyper-V console. Winbox is another solution, but much of what I do happens at the command line. The cleanest solution I've come up with is using the built-in serial device functionality with named pipes for the VMs. PuTTY provides a handy serial interface for accessing the virtual device.
First we'll add a serial device to the CHR's VM configuration. Then we'll use it to create a named pipe. Finally, we'll use PuTTY to access the serial console.
CHR Configuration
Adding a serial port to the CHR gives us the "hardware" that we need, even though it's virtual. In Hyper-V right-click the CHR VM. Then select Settings and COM1 to the left. Note how no device was included by default in the configuration:
Select the Named Pipe option and enter a name:
Remember the full name, beginning with .\pipe\ and ending with the chosen name.
PuTTY Serial
Launch PuTTY with administrative privileges, otherwise the named pipe can't be accessed in Windows. Select the Serial option, then use the named pipe string:
Click Open, then click inside the PuTTY window and press [Enter]. The RouterOS login prompt should appear. If the router is rebooted we can quickly restart the serial session by right-clicking the title bar:
