India's Jhulan Goswami is now the leading wicket taker (181) in Women's ODIs. She surpassed Australian Cathryn Fitzpatrick's tally of 180 wickets in one day internationals.India fast bowler Jhulan Goswami on Tuesday created history by becoming the leading wicket-taker in the one day internationals for women's.
The right-arm medium pacer achieved the feat when she trapped South African player Raisibe Ntozakhe leg before during the Women's Quadrangular Series in South Africa.
The world No. 2 Goswami finished with an impressive three for 20 from her 7.3 overs as India bundled South Africa out for 119 in 39.3 overs.
The 34-year-old Indian all-rounder took her 181st wicket to better Australian Cathryn Fitzpatrick's 10-year-old record. The ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year 2007, Arjuna Awardee, Padma Shri winner and the once the fastest bowler in women's cricket has been the mainstay of India women bowling unit since her debut in 2002.
With 271 International wickets (Tests, ODIs and T20I), Goswami is the all-time leading wicket-taker in women's cricket. After winning the ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year 2007 she captained India. She was conferred with the Arjuna Award in 2010, and the Padma Shri two years later.
Born in a village in Nadia district of West Bengal, Goswami grew up as a fan of football. Her first tryst with cricket was when she watched the 1992 Cricket World Cup on TV and five years later she was enthralled by watching Belinda Clarke's victory lap after Australia vs New Zealand 1997 Women's World Cup final live at the stadium.

Johnson County decides to build new courthouse
To fund new building, voters must pass sales tax
April 21, 2016
Today, the Johnson County commissioners agreed to move forward on a new courthouse and coroner facility.
The proposed funding is a 10-year, quarter-cent public safety sales tax. In May, county staff will bring back to the Board of County Commissioners language that, if approved by a vote, will be placed on the ballot for the November 2016 general election.
For the past several months, the BOCC has studied plans for a new 28-courtroom structure located across the street from the current location on Santa Fe and Cherry Street in downtown Olathe, and a new coroner facility near the county's Criminalistics Laboratory at 119th and Ridgeview in Olathe.
In March and April, the county held six open house meetings where residents could view photos and video explaining concerns with the current courthouse, hear a presentation from the consultant team about what a new courthouse would look like, learn about the financing options that would fund a new courthouse, and ask questions of county staff and local officials including Chief Judge Kevin Moriarty and District Attorney Steve Howe.
Meeting participants could give their feedback by taking a survey.
• 93.1 percent said Johnson County needs a new courthouse.
• 88.5 percent said Johnson County needs its own coroner facility.
• When asked if they preferred a quarter-cent sales tax for 10 years, an eighth-cent sales tax plus a mill levy increase for 10 years or a mill levy increase for 20 years, the majority selected the quarter-cent sales tax.
More information on the new courthouse and coroner facility is available at www.jocogov.org/courthouse.

Bonus Missions: Hostage Crisis - Minikits
Bonus Missions: Hostage Crisis - Minikits
Hostage Crisis[edit]
When you begin, head to your right and begin working on the broken ship. You'll need to use the Force to place all three pieces back on. The ship will leave you a Minikit as it flies off
Take Jar Jar and jump onto the ship on the left. Near the front of the ship, double jump and you'll come within reach of Minikit #2.
There are a total of five Clones working on top of the left ship and the middle ship. Take them all out to collect the third Minikit.
Head over to the loose pieces jumping around next to the ship on the far left. Build with them to create half a console and then Force the satellite on top of it. Use R2 to interact with the device and you'll receive a Separatist vehicle. Use its missiles to fire away at the smaller ship in the middle and eventually (after many, many missiles) the ship will disintegrate and you'll receive Minikit #3.
After entering the hallway, you'll need to activate a total of five ice-cream machines. To do this, use the Force to activate the handle, and then use it once more to make some ice cream.
In this hallway, five small robots will roll out and run away from you like mice. Destroy all five in this area to earn another Minikit.
In the middle of the hallway is a console with a red aura around it. Use the Dark Side to reveal a crawl-hole. Crawl through it to collect Minikit #7.
In the hallway's second room, you'll notice a grate with a red aura around it. Use a Sith to remove it and pull the switch. A screen will drop down with another switch. Pull the second switch and get ready to platform with Indiana Jones. When you complete the obstacle course, you'll be rewarded with Minikit #8.
At the far right end of the hallway, stand on the blue Jedi insignia and cut open the door. After you pull the switch inside, the glass around you will break. Use Boba Fett or Cad Bane to hop over the balcony and hover over to the Minikit.
For the last Minikit, use your Minigun Clone to fire away at the gold cage that's guarding the R2 console at the right end of the hallway. Once inside the new room, place each piece of hair equipment on their respective customer by means of the Force, minigun, rocket, and grapple. After all three Clones have received stylish new hairdos, you'll receive Minikit #10.

text: This was one of my best shows at the recently concluded: London Collection : Menswear! The prints, the cuts, the cuts, the smileys, the flags left London buzzing as Jeremy Scott made his menswear debut as the new creative director for Italian megabrand Moschino. Who better than Scott to revive the popular '90s brand and expand its audience to the ever important 25-and-under power spending crowd? The show opened up with some eye-catching psychodelic prints that incorporated the iconic Coca-Cola logo and looked like they could have come off of Scott's own eponymous line. But the show quickly moved into a segment that was classically Moschino, incorporating the hous' use of the smiley face and world flags. Moschino's signature use of black and gold and logo accessories were included as well, which brought more than a few people in the audience back to their glory days of Moschino die-hard fandom. The show also included a handful of denim pieces, but that may have been the one category that was truly missing from this debut collection. In it's day, Moschino was known for its denim in various incarnations, but Scott is a master showman and creator, and for a first go at his new gig and for menswear overall, he has already made his mark this season.

I have a client that has about 10 staff. They want to add business intelligence services to an existing MySql database.
It is a database containing purchasing and readership data for publications over the past 30+ years. They are an Audit Bureau, and thus, on a yearly basis, they audit the numbers that publishers report so that these numbers are they sent to advertisers and can be used to justify the cost of ads in their publications.
I need a small- to mid-sized OLAP cube option. Cognos Express is the first one I'm trialing. It feels more like a mid-sized one than a smaller end one so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any alternatives.

Papolatry: excessive veneration or worship of the Pope. Cf Sister Theresa Aletheia Noble :
He is the Vicar of Christ, the bishop of Rome, the spiritual head of the Catholic Church.
He is also a gentle, joyful and extroverted person with a heart for people. In other words, Pope Francis is a lover. He has been filled with the love of Christ to the point that it brims over. If you are in the same room as Pope Francis, you know he loves you. Even if you are on the other side of the world from Pope Francis, you know he loves you.

Guest Blogpost: Leading the Way Forward
18 December 2018
Throughout the week we found ourselves grappling with the same key question: how can we recruit, equip and retain excellent school leaders?
Natalie Lamprell | Director of Curriculum & Teacher Development at Rising Academy Network
Principal Chitra Vishwanathan welcomes us into her office at Abhuyudaya Nagar MPS, a government school in Mumbai supported by the Akanksha Foundation. We sip on chai as Chitra leans forward in her chair, smiles and tells us about her school.
She has 35 teachers; some are veterans, some are 'Teach for India' newbies and some, regardless of experience, need more of her instructional support.
She has 565 students and invests time in building strong relationships with their parents. Her walls are adorned with personalised 'Super Mum and Dad' displays.
But there's only so much chai and chat Chitra can spare. As Uncommon Schools Chief Schools Officer Paul Bambrick-Santoyo states in his book Leverage Leadership,
school leaders should be "relentless about spending time on the most important things"
. Before long, Chitra says her goodbyes and heads off into the school and back to her core mission. She begins the day with a learning walk before monitoring today's attendance data.
Seeing Chitra and her school in action filled me with hope –
an excellent school leader is the key to unlocking excellent teaching and learning.
But it also made me think about how you address this critical need for focused, skilled school leaders in more remote locations and at scale.
Chitra was just one of the inspiring school leaders I met during a week-long study tour to Mumbai and Delhi arranged by the Global Schools Forum.
There are 260 million schoolchildren in India attending over 1.5 million schools. The task of guaranteeing them a great education is gargantuan.
The Study Tour was designed to expose participants to some innovative non-state operators in this context. Many of the attendees work in Sub -Saharan Africa where the scale of the task is also daunting and is set to get even greater; by 2050 three quarters of a billion children will attend school. Throughout the week we found ourselves grappling with the same key question:
how can we recruit, equip and retain excellent school leaders?
At the Peepul-SDMC partnership school in Dayanand Colony in Delhi, Education Director Urmila Chowdhury takes a
grow-your-own approach
to her future school leaders. She recently promoted two teachers working in the school to Academic Coordinators.
They may be younger and less formally qualified than potential external hires, but their time with the organisation means that they have the DNA of Peepul – a relentless focus on best classroom practice.
They are deeply committed to the community they were already serving as teachers and they are here to stay.
Matthew Bidwell, a Professor of Management at the Wharton School, has studied the merits of hiring externally versus promoting from within. Much of it comes down to a question of relationships. In a 2011 paper he notes, "we have relationships in organizations that are key to getting work done and a set of structures and routines we need to know" . Bidwell's analysis feels especially true of schools, where
school leaders must build a multitude of relationships with students, parents, teachers, middle leaders, the wider community and education ministries.
Mainak Roy CEO of Simple Education Foundation (S.E.F) agrees that relationships are paramount. The management team of S.E.F spend lots of their time in the government schools they support to build these relationships before rolling out new initiatives.
In his paper Bidwell goes on to say that an external hire often slows down the performance of the whole team while they try to get the new person up to speed. By contrast, an internal hire can hit the ground running and serve as an example to the rest of the team about what behaviours get rewarded.
Seeing their peers progress into management roles can motivate other teachers to strive to achieve the same progress, ensuring there is a talent pipeline within the organisation who, if needed, can be deployed to locations further afield.
But the step from teacher to school leader is a big one.
How do we equip our leaders with the tools to approach their role with what Bambrick-Santoyo calls "an engineer's obsession"? A clue came during one of our first visits, to Lead School Mangaon Campus, three hours from Mumbai. Their bespoke school management system allows all the school leaders in their network to log on and crunch item level student assessment data and then coordinate effective remediation programmes (like the rigorously evaluated TaRL – Teaching at the Right Level - sessions Pratham have pioneered).
Accurate, regular, timely data is driving the academic performance of their students and HQ can look at these results in real time remotely.
Across the week we discussed how different school networks were finding their own route to recruiting, developing and supporting school leaders. But running through all these approaches was a common thread:
put your mission at the heart of what you do.
I am keen to continue the discussions we began in India about school leadership. In the new year GSF's Keya Lamba and I intend to set up a
Chief Academic Officer community of practice
and I'd like to work with this group to chart the roadmap for our instructional leaders from novice to excellent.
Thank you to GSF for hosting the trip, to the schools we visited for being so welcoming and inspiring, and to my fellow delegates for all the learning (and the laughs along the way).

Portrait of Jennie(Movies) WhenJune 04, 2020 <m>(Thursday)m>WhereDryden Theatre / George Eastman House
900 East Avenue
Rochester, New York 14607 (US)
Website: https://www.eastman.org/portrait-jennie-0
Event Details
In Depression-era New York, painter Eben Adams (Joseph Cotten) despairs at his lack of success. One cold winter evening in Central Park, he meets an enigmatic, old-fashioned little girl, Jennie Appleton (Jennifer Jones), who captures his fancy when she asks him to wait for her to grow up. Soon after, Eben sells a sketch of Jennie to kindly art dealer Miss Spinny (Ethel Barrymore) and, as he meets the oddly mutable Jennie in fleeting moments, begins to realize they share a special destiny.

The internet seems to filled with the dreadful picture of that Jordanian pilot being burnt to death, a few days ago there was a picture of a homosexual being thrown from a tower block, beheadings have become so common, they are almost not news. Add to that pictures of crucified men, women and even children, women and children sold into slavery, child brides, mutilated or burned bodies, churches razed to the ground, Christians and others robbed and sent into exile and most world, and even religious, leaders will say, "this isn't a Moslem problem". Even closer to home, the Rotherham child abuse revelations, again, 'it isn't a Muslim problem'.
Of course they are right, just the same as abortion, or the sexualisation of young children in our society 'isn't a Muslim problem', neither is pornography, or family break up, or the huge disparity between the wealthy and the poor in our society, these are obviously not 'a Muslim problem', neither are Russian gulags or the Nazi extermination camps.
These are however problems for a world that does not know Jesus Christ, in that sense they are a Christian problem. These horrors show us a world unredeemed, a world dwelling in Christ-less darkness. These are the things those who do not know Christ do.
As a priest ordained sometime after the close of the Second Vatican Council, it is the missionary impulse of the Council that is fascinating, the whole sense of going out ad gentes rather than looking inwards and being concerned with a concern for soft furnishings and furniture.
The Church is neither a museum preserving the past, nor a laboratory inventing new things. The biblical images of deeply rooted vines, closely tended, producing abundant fruit or of a house set firmly on rock.
It is perhaps natural for the priests who studied whilst the Council was taking place, especially in Rome, to be obsessed the changes the Council introduced ad intra; one only has to read the dreary pages of the Catholic Times or possibly even other Catholic papers to be re-acquainted with the self referential nonsense that haunted the church forty years ago; all those obsessions about reinventing liturgy, about parish management, setting up new committees and the like, that replaced the simple Gospel imperative of bringing Christ to the world.
The years following the Council were very much about household management, patching and restructuring and structures, but by the 1990s there was a new breed of priests who began seeing the Church in far more dynamic terms. They started asking what the purpose of the Church was. In fact asking whether the Church really had anything to bring to world. They did it from a Church that was beginning to coalesce, no longer in a state of flux, no longer filled with uncertainties, a Church that was beginning to feel a certain confidence in its own message: Jesus Christ.

27 study-worthy classical pieces to help you through exam season. no words, just pure genius.
25 tracks
20 comments on purely classical. (View all)
I downloaded the Piano Concerto in A Minor from Bach a few years ago. And I could never find it! It seems that it is not from him, even if it said the same on the title. I am very surprised that you have it under the same (fake?) name. Do you know how wrote it? It is amazing. But it doesn't sound like Bach...⃠

As the festive season is finally upon us, it's time to deck the halls, hoist the tree and wrap the endless amount of stocking fillers in preparation for the big day. With all this excitement, it's important to remember the safety of our beloved four-legged friends throughout the holiday season.
A combination of selection boxes and fairy light cabling can spell disaster for our pets with potentially life threatening consequences. As tempting as it can be to offer your furry friend some of the abundance of left overs that they so desperately desire, this too, can lead to serious problems.
Top Tips for Pet Safety
One of the most common call outs for vets over the holiday season is for pets with stomach upsets from eating rich Christmas trimmings or items that shouldn't be eaten at all. Dog owners need to put leftovers and decorations out of reach of inquisitive faces.
Avoid Left-Over Indulgence
Despite our pets best efforts to guilt us into allowing them a taste of Christmas dinner, it is vital to their health that we refrain from indulging them. Particularly problematic foods include:
Chocolate: As a lot of pet owners will already know, chocolate is incredibly toxic to a great deal of animals with potentially fatal consequences.
Turkey/Chicken: Bones from birds in particular are very problematic for our furry friends. This is because the bones are much more brittle and more likely to break causing serious damage during digestion.
Stuffing: Grapes, raisins and onions are popular ingredients in a great deal of readymade stuffings – and the latter two of course form the mainstay of Christmas pud and Christmas cake. These can potentially cause serious health issues such as kidney failure and haemolytic anemia in various animals.
Watch out for unexpected things too – string from roast dinners for example, and remember dogs by their very nature are inquisitive animals and will often have a field day rummaging for tasty titbits in bin bags or on tables in unoccupied kitchens. Some vets will recommend a 'baby gate' across the kitchen door to stop access, which can have a double plus of offering a safe refuge for a dog from visiting family members. But remember this will offer no obstacle for your cat!
You might have seen the discussion about a festive TV advert where a dog ends up being passed the Christmas pud as the children don't want it – the British Veterinary Association has issued a statement from the veterinary profession which reinforces advice to resist giving our four legged family members things which we may – or may not – regard as treats ourselves.
Double Up Decoration Precautions
Whether you plan to douse the house in Christmas cheer or simply add a few sprinkles of discrete decoration, remember to take extra precautions to avoid injuries and accidents. Any cabling should be kept concealed as much as possible, whilst glass or plastic ornaments should be placed high on every Christmas tree – and chocolate decorations may be best avoided.
As much as your furry bundle of joy would love to be entertained by hours of playing with tinsel, this popular decoration can actually cause severe damage in the intestinal tract, requiring immediate medical attention. If your pet swallows these items it can lead to an upset stomach at the very least and can cause severe damage and require surgical removal. Cats in particular may see the tree as a climbing challenge – and pets can see (or smell) beyond the wrapping paper and have no respect for waiting till Christmas day before opening gifts. The traditional 'under the tree' is not the best place for a household with a pet! Also, don't let your pet drink from the water at the base of the tree as it could contain toxic chemicals. House plants and flowers can also be very poisonous, so keep these out of reach and sight of your pet too.
The most important thing to remember is use common sense when decorating the home and consider any potential dangers that may face your pet, causing serious health repercussions. Your four-legged friend can enjoy the Christmas period just as much as us humans, so don't forget them when preparing for the holidays!

America began allowing foreigners from seven predominantly Muslim nations into its borders Saturday after the government stopped enforcing President Donald Trump's travel ban at airports — setting up a contentious fight with the White House over the immigration order.
The Department of Homeland Security said it will no longer force airlines to block those foreigners with visas from boarding planes, while the State Department also announced it has reversed the cancellation of visas under Trump's executive order.
The order had barred people carrying visas from Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iran, Iraq and Yemen from entering the U.S. for 90 days out of terrorism concerns. In addition, refugees were banned for 120 days and all Syrian refugees were stopped indefinitely from traveling to America.
The State Department had said up to 60,000 foreigners had their visas "provisionally revoked" since the order went into effect a week ago.

Wait a second. Waaaaiiit just a second here. Has it REALLY been a bit more than two months since my last post? WOW. Inexcusable. Although, the one thing I will offer in my defense is that I can't force it. I can't make myself write something if I'm not "feeling" it. If that sounds nonsensical to you, then that makes two of us, because I don't pretend to understand it either. Anyway – some random, stream-of-consciousness thoughts on what's been going on recently:
- The SHLF Project is continuing (original post about it can be found here) and I love it. I've given out over 130 messages so far, with many more to come.
- College football! Starting tonight! I'm a bit excited. IMO, all these people (and polls – I'm looking at you, AP and USA Today) that have Texas ranked above Oklahoma have got problems. I'm no fan of either team, but OU is going to be the better team this year, and they'll beat UT.
- November is going to be awesome. My homeslice John Mayer's new album, Battle Studies, drops on the 17th, and, later that same week, there's this little movie called New Moon coming out that I may or may not be really excited for.
- When I heard about Obama nominating Ben Bernanke for a second term as the Federal Reserve Chairman, all I could do was close my eyes and shake my head. Bernanke has become symbolic of everything that is wrong with the way our country's monetary system works. It amazes me that more people weren't up in arms over Obama's re-nomination of him – it's not like this information is hiding on some underground blog, or whatever. You can see it on Youtube! There are more videos than I care to sit through of Bernanke getting absolutely SCHOOLED, before Congress, on the way things should work. Granted, it's mainly Ron Paul doing the schooling, but that doesn't surprise me, at this point. I mean, just do a Youtube search for Peter Schiff. He predicted, with sometimes astonishing precision, exactly what has happened to our country's economy, he was saying it years in advance, and no one listened to him! He's a believer in Austrian Economics, which is, shock of shocks, the same school of economic thought that Ron Paul (another guy who tried to warn us of all the danger we were facing) subscribes to!
Whew! I apparently am still capable of blogging!

Excerpt from Dreams From My Father, by Barack Obama – Chapter Thirteen, pages 249-251
"I'm telling you, man, the world is a place."
"Say, the world is a place, huh."
"That's just what I'm saying."
We were walking back to the car after dinner in Hyde Park, and Johnnie was in an expansive mood. He often got like this, especially after a good meal and wine. The first time I met him, when he was still working with a downtown civic group, he had started explaining the relationship between jazz and Eastern religion, then swerved into an analysis of black women's behinds, before coming to a stop on the subject of Federal Reserve Bank policy. In such moments his eyes would grow wide; his voice would speed up; his round, bearded face would glow with a childlike wonder. That was part of the reason I'd hired Johnnie, I suppose, that curiosity of his, his appreciation of the absurd. He was a philosopher of the blues.
"I'll give you an example," Johnnie was saying to me now. "The other day, I'm headed for a meeting up in the State of Illinois Building. You know how it's open in the middle, right . . . big atrium and all that. Well, the guy I'm supposed to be meeting with is late, so I'm just standing there looking down at the lobby from the twelfth floor, checking out the architecture, when all of a sudden this body flies past me. A suicide."
"You didn't tell me about that —"
"Yeah, well, shook me up pretty good. High up as I was, I could hear the body land like it was right there next to me. Terrible sound. Soon as it happened, these office workers rushed up to the guardrail to see what was going on. We're all looking down, and sure enough the body's lying there, all twisted and limp. People started screaming, covering their eyes. But the strange thing was, after people got through screaming, they'd go back to the railing to get a second look. Then they'd scream and cover their eyes all over again. Now why would they do that? Like, what do they expect the second time around? But see, folks are funny like that. We can't help ourselves with that morbid shit. . . .
"Anyway, the cops come, they rope things off and take the body away. Then the building crew starts cleaning things up. Nothing special, you know — just a broom and a mop. Sweeping up a life. Whole thing's cleaned up in maybe five minutes. Makes sense, I guess . . . I mean, it's not like you need special equipment or suits or something. But it starts me thinking, How's that gonna feel to be one of those janitors, mopping up somebody's remains? Somebody's got to do it, right? But how you gonna feel that night eating dinner?"
"Who was it that jumped?"
"That's the other thing, Barack!" Johnnie took a drag from his cigarette and let the smoke roll from his mouth. "It was a young white girl, man, sixteen maybe, seventeen. One of these punk rock types, with blue hair and a ring through her nose. Afterward, I'm wondering what she was thinking about while she was riding up the elevator. I mean, folks musta been standing right next to her on the way up. Maybe they looked her over, decided she was a freak, and went back to thinking about their own business. You know, their promotion, or the Bulls game, or whatever. And the whole time this girl's just standing there next to them with all that pain inside her. Got to be a lot of pain, doc, 'cause right before she jumps, you figure she looks down and knows that shit is gonna hurt."
Johnnie stamped out his cigarette. "So that's what I'm saying, Barack. Whole panorama of life out there. Crazy shit going on. You got to ask yourself, is this kinda stuff happening elsewhere? Is there any precedent for all this shit? You ever ask yourself that?"
"The world's a place," I repeated.
"See there! It's serious, man."

Tomorrow. The 2008 Presidential Election is TOMORROW. Holy crap. Can't believe it's been four years since I voted for the first time. Can't believe we're finally going to have a President who's name doesn't end with Bush or Clinton. I very much hope that we get a strong turnout tomorrow, regardless of who wins – America can do way better than the 64% of voting-age citizens that voted in 2004. For my part, I voted early several days ago. Wanted to vote to re-elect Randy Neugebauer, our district's Congressman, as he voted against the bailout both times and generally seems like a reasonable dude, but I learned that he's a big advocate against online poker, which I profoundly disagree with, so I couldn't do it. After seeing some TV ads for John Cornyn, our Senator that's up for re-election, I did some Googling and … Wikipediaing? No clue how to make that a verb. Anyway, I looked him up, checked some of the bills he's sponsored, and discovered that back in 2005, he and a Senator from Arizona co-sponsored a bill that, if passed (it didn't, thank God), would have required anyone arrested or detained by federal authorities to give a sample of their DNA to be kept in a central database (more info here). You could say that kind of made me less than thrilled about him, and you would be right. So, given that, I decided that even though he'll win, I needed to throw him under the bus, and I voted Libertarian.
As far as the Presidency goes, I find the whole thing to be way more confusing and frustrating than it has any right to be. Even though I agree in principle with John McCain on some stuff, watching him trying to sell himself as an agent of change and thinking about how far away he is from non-interventionism does nothing at all for me. I probably sound like I'm drinking the New York Times Kool-Aid here, but Sarah Palin absolutely scares me, for multiple reasons. I continue to be amazed at how, to her, it's apparently quite reasonable that you can be a staunch women's rights advocate and yet not even support abortion rights for rape or incest victims. That, to me at least, is more frightening and more deserving of media scrutiny than Barack Obama's connections to a guy like Bill Ayers, when it's known that everyone has skeletons in their closets, especially politicians, and to try to single out the other guy's past while also trying to completely absolve yourself is just absurdly transparent.
On the other side, I very much like Obama, just as a gut-feeling, instinctive, one-dude-to-another type of thing, and I'm currently in the process of reading The Audacity Of Hope. He's intelligent, thoughtful, eloquent, balanced, calm, and you just get the feeling that he likes considering lots of possibilities before making a decision, but even if he was on a truncated timetable, he would still be supremely confident in whatever course he chose. I'm just not sure about how far to the Left he seems to be on certain things, and the idea of having him in the White House, along with a possible filibuster-proof Congress, does make me nervous. Not necessarily from the perspective of "OMG the Democrats are evil and will destroy us all", but moreso that I'm not sure there has ever been a time in our history when one-party rule has been conducive to the marketplace of ideas. Variety, and our freedom to believe as we wish, is a beautiful thing, and I fear for our immediate future if one party gets drunk with the notion of, at least legally speaking, being able to invalidate, on a completely arbitrary basis, any concepts or legislation put forth from the other. I do like that his health care plan doesn't mandate that everyone have the coverage, whereas Hillary Clinton's would have. I've got to admit, it would be refreshing having someone as President who's partisan yet not blinded by his ideology, and who is smart enough to admit that the other side might sometimes have a point. I just wish that grounded sense of policy would extend to his fellow Democrats.
Most polls have Obama ahead, and based on what I have seen and read, it looks like the election is his. I remain quite unsure of where we are going, but our nation is strong, and I do find a sense of satisfaction and happiness in our ability to have a black man in candidacy for the highest office in the land (I'm white, but I despise racism). I will also say that, despite ideological differences, the message he has been broadcasting is quite appealing, as he is correct in the notion that we are, in fact, a better nation than the one the rest of the world has seen the past few years. It was really quite interesting, as far as my voting experience is concerned – when I got to the machine, I found myself wanting to vote for him more than I had anticipated. I didn't, and I didn't vote for John McCain either, but just between us, I look forward to what Obama will be able to do for the psyche of our country.

What you are about to read is a transcript of lost footage from the recent Town Hall debate between Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and John McCain (R-AZ). Due to time constraints and editorial judgment, moderator Tom Brokaw did not allow certain questions and responses to be aired. However, through shrewd negotiations and outright blackmail, a deal has been brokered a deal allowing a previously unreleased discussion to be released to the blogosphere.
BROKAW: Our next question comes from Randall Kirby of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Mr. Kirby?
KIRBY: Good evening Senators. During this campaign, we've heard you talk a lot about the economy and energy and the environment. But neither of you have said one word about one of the greatest injustices in our country: the lack of a college football playoff. If elected, what would you do to reform this system? Thank you.
McCAIN: Thank you, Randall, for that question, and thank you for being a part of this very important debate. And again, I want to thank Tom Brokaw and the fine people of Belmont University –
BROKAW: Senator McCain, you've already thanked me five times and Belmont six. Can you move on please?
McCAIN: Ah, yes. Thank you, Tom. My friends, I want to make it clear that this is an issue that I've been passionate about for many years. When others in the Washington establishment were content to preen and posture talking about national defense and the environment, I was working behind the scenes to get rid of the BCS. It's an inefficient, antiquated system, and it needs to go. As president, I would charge Vice President Palin with the responsibility of taking down the BCS and replacing it with a suitable playoff. And I tell you, I can't think of anyone who is more qualified to overhaul our broken college football system. Just like with the energy issue, she knows more about this topic than anyone alive on planet Earth. And that's not hyperbole, my friends. It's just straight talk from this maverick to you, my American friends.
OBAMA: Randall, first I just want to say that I know what you're going through. As I've traveled over this great country, I've met a lot of people who share your concern. They're frustrated. They want change. Their voices just aren't being heard because the big corporations who run the BCS – and who are supported by George Bush and John McCain – don't care about the individual college football fan. Now, when you elect me as president, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. First, I'm going to set up a government agency to investigate this issue and come up with responsible, alternative strategies and set hard-and-fast timetables. Now, you won't hear John talk about timetables. He prefers to keep more of the same old BCS and George Bush policies. He thinks your unhappiness and discontent are "no big deal." Second, I'm going to increase the taxes on these evil corporations, and return that revenue to our beleaguered college football fans, to provide some relief. They just need a little help during this difficult time. These folks need hope, and we can give that to them. It's our duty as Americans. Besides, other than change, what's more important than hope?
BROKAW: Ah, gentlemen, as a follow-up to that issue, how would you handle the inequities inherent in the current system, until an improved system could be implemented? Obviously this is probably the most complex issue facing America today, and nobody here can realistically expect an overnight fix. So what do we do in the interim? Specifically, what do we do with the most egregious abusers of the current system, places like Ohio State and Oklahoma? Senator Obama, you may answer first.
OBAMA: What Ohio State has been doing in the BCS system of late has been nothing short of criminal. As president, I would put together a blue ribbon commission to investigate the BCS and Ohio State for what I consider collusion and conspiracy to commit athletic fraud. While those fat cats in Columbus, Ohio were playing in title games, people from places like Athens, Georgia and Lawrence, Kansas were sitting around their kitchen tables wondering how they were ever going to get a fair shake. The sad truth is that they will never get a fair shake under this corrupt regime. That's just wrong. These people need to be able to have hope. Hope that change is coming. Don't you worry, Boise State and Hawaii fans, I have heard your voices. And I am on my way to Washington to bring about the kind of hopeful change that you've been hoping would be changed.
McCAIN (glancing at projected electoral map): Now, you see, my friends… Senator Obama is playing the blame game. The fact of the matter is that the state of Ohio is the birthplace of college football, and Ohio State is what all other football programs aspire to be. Senator Obama wants to punish Ohio State for being more successful than the rest, and that's just his typical liberal mentality. Have I mentioned he has the most liberal voting record in the history of voting records AND liberalism? My friends, now is not the time to unfairly stifle success just to even the playing field for the have-nots. Now is the time to inspire the Floridas and LSUs of the world to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and just try, for once, to compete with Ohio State. Nobody said it would be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. My friends, we can do this, and with Vice President Palin leading the way, the future of college football is as bright as our fundamentally sound economy. Oh, and I don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan. O-H! Thank you.

This, right here, is just amazing:
Really? REALLY??? SIXTY-SIX MILLION?? That's mind-blowing! McCain raised $47 million in August, which is a new record for him as well, and who could have possibly predicted that would barely be two-thirds of what Obama raised? I mean, $77 million cash on hand? wow. WOW. This race is just getting crazier and crazier as time goes on, and I can't believe that Election Day is just over seven weeks away! If I had a candidate that I could actually stand behind comfortably, then I would be all set, but alas, no such luck. It's looking to be really, REALLY close – it has been my opinion from the beginning that the Palin selection would either really be the shot in the arm that McCain has so desperately needed or it would end up causing the whole thing to crash and burn, and I think, depending on who you ask, that it's kind of done both so far. She's really energized a lot of the grassroots conservatives, and McCain has been looking better in the polls, even pulling ahead of Obama by a point or two in some of them. Of course, as far as most Democrats are concerned, McCain could not have ever possibly made a worse choice in a million years, and it's a tragically obvious sign of his pandering to former Hillary Clinton supporters, even though that reasoning makes no sense whatsoever considering that Palin and Clinton are polar opposites on tons of issues. To go into Hubie Brown mode for a second, if I'm a former Hillary Clinton supporter (which I am not), I'm staying as far away from Palin as I can get.
I finally spent some time on www.factcheck.org earlier, after hearing some buzz about it, and I found it quite interesting. I very much liked the reporting and debunking of statements from both the Left and the Right, with no immediately apparent signs of favoring one or the other. Good to see some sources of information that let people make up their own minds!

Teachers at a French school have rejected their town's annual gift to students of chocolates shaped like Christian crosses and St. Nicholas.
This also happened with chocolates, no less.
I think I am going to write the school and ask them to send all the offensive items to me. I´m solely thinking of the French public good. We don´t want these perverse CHOCOLATE items lurking about, dangerously locked up in some school closet, with a big Beware! sign on it. School officials will do very good to send all dangerous chocolate items to my personal address.
I had joked about this becoming a reality, actually on Scrappleface, I asked when would public school officials start sending kids who muttered Merry Christmas to jail, for religious bigotry. Living in a totalitarian, diseased liberal society, nothing is too outlandish to become reality, and quickly.

Plano school bans Christmas Colors
The war on Christmas in public schools gets curiouser and curiouser. School officials in Plano, Texas, not content to neuter Christmas by blotting out angels, Mary, and the Baby Jesus, have now banned the colors red and green. According to the Alliance Defense Fund, Plano Independent School District policy "prohibits students from wearing red and green at their winter break parties because…they are Christmas colors. Even the plates and napkins must be white.
Also banned: Candy canes and pencils with religious messages on them, reindeer symbols, and writing Merry Christmas on greeting cards to U.S. soldiers. Parents involved in school activities must also toe the secularist line: District policy bars them from exchanging religious Christmas items with other parents.

"I suspect a lot of the anti-Christmas paranoia in Plano is an over-reaction to an otherwise sensible concern for the feelings of nonChristian kids ( Shapiros, Cohens, Faisals etc)."
Over-reaction? I guess, if that's what you want to call it. If the color red worn in combination with the color green offends you, either you're Carson from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy or you need to seek some counseling.
What leads these people to conclude that the best way to limit religion's influence is to pretend that it doesn't exist?
Posted by Peter at December 16, 2004 05:29 PM
Okay, foolishyetwise, it's not persecution, I'll be the first to agree.
But isn't it still appalling because it's a ludicrous abuse of reason? Shouldn't we still be concerned about people acting like idiots, imposing it on other people, and thinking they're working for the common good?

Sounds to me like time for a school board recall election intoto unless the district superintendent is fired.
Politics/bigotry aside, this is nuts and the march of the clones is the next logical step — individualism is dead. ANYTHING could be construed as offensive in these schools by whoever made up these rules and that's scary.
Posted by RonD at December 16, 2004 05:52 PM
The scariest part of this story is the fact that these are the people who are trying to educate our kids.
They don't have any reasoning ability.
Posted by Lloyd at December 16, 2004 05:53 PM
This is ridiculous! If you ask me, red and green symbolize the holly and ivy (plants are perfectly secular, as are reindeer)
The next thing you know, Santa Claus will be banned since he's a re-make of St. Nicholas.
Posted by Irisheyes at December 16, 2004 06:16 PM
This has already happened in France, almost. St. Nicholas was banned from a school.
Wow, I haven't laughed out loud by myself in a quite awhile, but this one produced an outright guffaw. I used to live in Plano (my brother still does)…I don't remember it being such a paranoid place. It's amazing the lengths people will go to these days to avoid offending someone (in this case those who don't celebrate Christmas). Can't we all just get tougher skin?
Posted by Ellen at December 16, 2004 06:39 PM
Hold the presses…besides red and green, the decorations can't be white, gold, or black because of their association with the New Orleans Saints. Brown is out because of its association with the San Diego Padres, and blue is out because of the Crips (which is considered a "religion" to some in east L.A.). I guess that leaves gray…
Posted by Lou at December 16, 2004 06:53 PM
Could someone clarify the ban on parents' exchanging "religious" Christmas items: Is this only _at_ the school events, or are they somehow gonna find out and send your kid to stand in the corner if you're friends with another family and send them a religious card?
Even if it's only at school events, that's pretty ridiculous.
And we can point out all we like that this isn't persecution, but there are several relevant points: First, doesn't this make an impression on kids? "God" is a dirty word in school, a taboo in the negative sense. "Religious" references are to be erased. Not good. Secondly, this makes something far more like real persecution all the more imaginable. In Canada a pastor can have a person stand up in a private meeting of the church membership and, essentially, threaten him with lawsuit or prosecution if what he says in that meeting is deemed "hateful." In France it is now prosecutable to wear "large crosses" in public. All of this comes about not at once but gradually, and making religion a bad thing in state-run schools is surely a step on the way.
Posted by Lydia at December 16, 2004 07:08 PM
It is one thing to regulate what teachers do or say about Christmas, but quite another to regulate the students' speech – or dress. Children at school should still have the rights of the First Amendment, whether that means wearing a Christmas outfit, writing about their faith to a soldier or using the term "Merry Christmas" in writing or speech.
By the way, students have First Amendment rights regardless of their faith or lack of it. Yes, we are not France and we still have more rights than they do.
How can this regulation of student speech stand up in court? Hopefully it will be overturned quickly by this ADF lawsuit.

So can a lawyer kindly explain to us non-lawyers what the indisputable free speech rights of the students in this case are?
Sure am glad I live in 'red state' South Carolina where we do vote out fuzzy headed liberals.
Maybe those in Texas should think about doing the same.
Merry Christmas to all!!!

This from a community that has one of the highest student drug use in the nation. Maybe some of the school officials are sniffing the same stuff.

No, the scariest part of this story is that Jack Graham, previous president of the Southern Baptist Convention, is the pastor of Prestonwood, the largest Baptist church in Plano. He handpicked the members of the resolutions committee, that refused to recommend the Christian Education Resolution be voted on at our last annual convention. One of the committee members lives in Plano and another was the pastor of the largest Baptist church in Allen, a neighboring suburb of Plano.

Yeah, right. Like I believe in Santa Clause!

I never wear red and green but if I went to a Plano school I sure would. Come on Plano students, all of you, wear red and green! It sure wouldn't look good for the school if all the students were expeled. Maybe they'd put you all in jail – wouldn't that be a colorful sight!

I say, thank God and pass the biscuits!
It's about time that we ditch the secular colors of red and green used for the "Happy Holidays" and go back to the *liturgical colors* of *purple* for *Advent* and *white* for *Christmas.*
Oops…did the waco Plano party poopers know that white was a *Christian* color, too?

Next thing ya' know they'll be outlawing Red, White, and Blue, because it stands for something…

Boy, I din't think big brother and the censorship police could ban certain frequencies of the visible spectrum. Reality these days is stranger than Orwellian fiction.

The Islanders' courtship of John Tavares is now over. It's up to him to decide whether he wants to stay or leave.
While it's possible the current roster will be upgraded by the end of NHL Draft weekend in Dallas, it won't be done for the sake of winning over Tavares.
The inevitable acquisition of a No. 1 goaltender, the possible bold trade to add another star like Erik Karlsson or subtler moves to shore up the defense -- that's simply Lou Lamoriello's job: to make the Islanders better for the near future.
As for Tavares, he's already seen everything he needs to see - commitment, a complete culture change, the extermination of the losing mindset that infested the organization for more than a decade.
As some of you may know from reading this space on and off going back to the draft lottery of 2009, I'm among the many who believe Tavares can do no wrong. Despite the flawed surroundings, his play has been stellar, his attitude impeccable. No matter what Tavares decides, you won't hear any criticism from this corner. He's a free agent. Where he wants to spend the next 7-8 years of his career and life is entirely up to him.
While co-owners Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky have been majestic in the last two months by hiring Lamoriello and opening the purse strings to sign Barry Trotz, let's not forget that they took two years as minority owners to "observe" and another two years in charge before finally deciding to fix the franchise. They should absolutely be applauded -- heck, even genuflected upon -- for making it look so easy these last two months. But it will always be a shame how they made it look so difficult for too long.
It remains possible - let's see if any word emerges from his camp between Friday and Monday - that Tavares will participate in the listening period and another team (the Sharks, Golden Knights and yes, even the hometown Maple Leafs) will win him over. If that's the case, it would be a monumental setback for the Islanders, especially after the high of the last few weeks.
Lamoriello has done his part in the mission to keep Tavares. Lamoriello doesn't need to do anything else to court the young man. Two months ago, the Islanders were not even masquerading as a major league franchise. The presence of Lamoriello and Trotz has changed everything. The news Thursday that the Islanders are now playing half of next season's schedule in Nassau is another plus.
It's amazing to look back and remember that, on breakup day in April, Tavares was still saying he wanted things to work out with the Islanders. And look at the Islanders now.
There has been a sense among industry insiders that agent Pat Brisson has always wanted Tavares to at least listen to other teams. Newport Sports Management Inc., who is led by Don Meehan, made the arrangements this time a year ago for Steven Stamkos, who then decided to re-sign with Tampa Bay. Since Tavares signed his second contract with the Islanders earlier than he could have and at below-market value, Brisson may want to make sure Tavares considers all of his options before putting his name on his next deal. That's Brisson doing his job. He's really good at it.
The possibility of Tavares meeting with other teams next week is gut-wrenching for the fans. But if he goes through the listening period and still decides to stay an Islander, it will be another moment of sweet vindication for what had been a beleaguered franchise.
Over one stunning spring, the Islanders have been revitalized. Now it's up to Tavares to decide if he really wants to stay.

Jube is an award winning bio-inspired device for capturing edible insects, the food of the future. After studying a range of carnivorous plants, the team decided to base their design on the Genlisea violacea "lobster-pot trap." This is a Y-shaped modified leaf chamber that is easy to enter, but not to exit due to its inward-pointing hairs, which force the prey to move in a particular direction. This device promotes a more sustainable way to incorporate protein and nutrients into the world's diet by offering an insect-capturing device that is unique and beautiful. The product is designed to be artistic and crafted so that people in any community can make it and sell it to other people as an alternative source of revenue.

Of all the chaos and terror I endured during my first day of high school, my first experience in orchestra class haunted me the most. I whined to my mom after dinner that day, explaining how unstructured the class was and how I would have to practice every single day. Yes, I enjoyed playing the violin… somewhat… but I didn't "practice for hours every single day" enjoy it. To me, music was a defense against boredom. It was a hobby. However, throughout high school, music went from an after-school distraction to becoming my life's calling. I learned that music class was not just play time and rules about how one should hold their pinky finger on the bow. Rather, it was a medium that taught life lessons that my other classes never mentioned. Here are the top eight lessons that I learned in music class:
1. People need people.
To be honest, this one was hard for me to admit. Being a devout introvert, I spent most of high school thinking that I could do everything alone. Perhaps this is why I began spending hours a day shut in a room practicing the violin by myself. I even learned how to make myself sound like a group of violinists by recording the parts to songs on top of each other to make an orchestra. I was my own band-- I didn't need anyone else.
Later, I participated in an orchestra event with musicians from all around the Northwest. After only a few days of rehearsal, we performed Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien. The orchestra's sound that swallowed me was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Since that event, nothing has ever come close to matching the thrill of hearing a full orchestra. Over time, I've come to learn that part of the magic of an orchestra lies in the fact that hundreds of unique people can suddenly come together and sound like one voice. Not even the greatest soloist in the world can create a sound that replaces that feeling.
2. In order to fully understand joy, you have to fully experience emptiness.
The greatest composers in history often had the most unfortunate circumstances. Beethoven suffered from social awkwardness and anger problems. Mussorgsky was an alcoholic. Tchaikovsky attempted to kill himself. These are just a few of the long list of troubled artists. Countless successful composers and musicians faced tragic situations, but these experiences introduced their ability to write music with intense emotional messages.
An artist could not paint a picture of something they never seen or conceived of before. They have to know what to paint before they paint it. In the same way, composers and musicians can only portray emotions in their music if they personally know how to feel them.
3. Great things aren't always planned.
Playing in string quartets at weddings can be a great experience… until someone forgets their music stand, a lovely breeze faithfully blows sheet music everywhere, and the temperature outside makes your fingers forget what a violin is. However, these performance setbacks never seemed to completely ruin a gig for me. Someone in the group comes up with a brilliant makeshift music stand, the violist spontaneously plays an entire song from memory, and the cellist forgives my dumb mistakes due to cold fingers. These kinds of performances always stand out in my memory as more fulfilling than the ones with no setbacks.
4. There is no fast track to success.
"Prodigies" are the archenemy of every amateur musician's existence. As easy as it is to resent them, their success was not magically thrown at them. They did not simply appear on the earth being able to flawlessly execute Paganini's 24th Caprice. They spent long hours in the practice room to get to that point, just like the rest of us.
5. The more you know, the less you know.
Just when I think I am about to get a good grasp on violin technique, a short masterclass with an expert whips me off my high horse. The more advanced you get as a musician, the more precise and picky you have to be. It keeps us humble and allows us to bring our performances to new levels, rather than settling for "good enough." Part of being a musician is committing to always finding out the next thing to work on.
6. Mistakes are not failures.
As with any performing art, it can be easy to become crippled by self doubt. When your mistakes are set on a sparkling, mile-high pedestal for the world to see, it sometimes feels like any imperfection makes you a failure. One of the hardest trials to overcome as a musician is listening to mistakes over and over in the practice rooms without giving up altogether. However, practicing the same two notes obsessively for hours and finally overcoming a mistake can become one of the most satisfying feelings. The most fulfilling performances I have given are the ones in which I successfully execute a phrase that I remember spending weeks fine-tuning.
7. Beauty is imperfection.
Computers seem to "beat" humans at almost everything. However, people have yet to computer-generate a musical instrument that sounds as good as the real thing. Computer logic simply cannot reproduce the immensely complicated sound wave of a real-life instrument. No two sound waves created by an instrument look exactly the same, which is part of what makes live sound so much more powerful than that of a recording. It is the dents in a violin string and the scratches in its wood that make such an imperfect, unpredictable, yet beautiful note that no precision of a computer could ever match.
8. The greatest blessing in life is to serve others.
Although science cannot truly explain it, something in the human brain is programmed to need music. We can't help it. Sometimes I think that ultimate happiness would be performing as a featured soloist in Carnegie Hall, but time has shown me that winning competitions and being the soloist leaves a small lingering of emptiness. The times when I have been the most happy were the times that I have seen someone truly touched by music. It might not be possible to explain objectively, but something about music heals us and brings us peace-- even in the most hopeless, traumatic times.
"To send light into the darkness of men's hearts: such is the duty of the artist."
-Robert Schumann

Hi, I'm Sanjib Mukherjee
I am the founder of the Yogi Warrior Tribe and I would like to personally welcome you to our online home.
To help you get a better understanding of who we are and what we can do for you, I invite you to read the following overview.
What is The Yogi Warrior Tribe?
We are a powerful collective of elite entrepreneurs and industry leaders from across the globe, all dedicated to supporting each other to reach the highest levels of business success, whilst living with a deep sense of inner happiness and freedom in our personal lives.
Our Purpose & Vision
Our vision is to create the world's most powerful and respected tribe of high calibre entrepreneurs and transformational leaders. Each of our tribe members has an amazing impact on the lives of so many people, and thus the more successful we become as individuals, the greater the impact we can all have throughout the world.
Who This Tribe Is For
Our tribe is primarily for entrepreneurs, industry leaders, visionaries and anyone who wants to fulfil their potential in life and be surrounded by a huge global family of like-minded winners. We currently have successful business owners, CEO's, charity pioneers, parents raising families and so many leaders from all spheres of life.
The Problems You May Be Facing
Being an entrepreneur or industry leader can be a lonely task. There are very few people who will understand the depth of your visions or the deep-rooted motivations which inspire you to do the things that you do.
Also, it can be so easy to get lost with the overwhelm of thoughts, ideas, and opportunities which constantly come your way. Keeping a clear focus on what you truly want to do and then maintaining the drive and enthusiasm to see each project to its conclusion can be a steep challenge even for the best of us.
It can be so easy to slide into procrastination, perfectionism, self-doubts and poor results, but perhaps the worst scenario is when you begin to lose energy and feel a deep sense of burnout. This inevitably leads to a vicious cycle of working more but achieving less.
Ultimately this can lead to a sense of frustration and unhappiness as deep down inside you know that you are capable of achieving so much more in this life.
You No Longer Need To Go It Alone
Quite simply, we will give you the guidance, accountability and support to gain absolute clarity on your goals, focus and a clear direction on what you need to do, simplicity with all your tasks, total rejuvenation of your energy and happiness levels and the certainty and confidence to smash anything which comes your way!
We will work with you to not only develop a peak performance mindset but also to attain the optimum business strategy for your ongoing success. Success loves speed, and our mission is to help you achieve all of your business and personal goals in the fastest time possible.
You will have an unparalleled level of world-class support and networking opportunities from fellow successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders. We take a personal interest in everything you do, and our primary aim is to give you a sense of protection and empowerment like you have never felt before.
You only need three things to be successful. Clarity on what you specifically want, the best strategy for you to attain this goal and, finally, the support and guidance from a tribe of like-minded winners to make sure you smash anything which comes your way.
How We Are Different To Anyone Else
What separates Yogi Warrior Tribe from any other coaching is the speed at which you will get these results. In some cases, the transformations can happen in a matter of minutes.
We can help you to overcome any business challenges you may be facing and provide you with the fastest path to rapidly multiply your business growth, drastically increase productivity and most importantly, a sense of real contentment which comes when you are operating at peak performance.
In terms of your personal growth, you will learn the most effective meditation, mindset strategies for controlling your thoughts and wisdom to overcome any problems in the mind.
The wisdom you will learn has been tried and tested for over 5,000 years (no other coaching can lay claim to such time-tested proven results).
The other major difference between us and any other coaching group is the unparalleled level of world-class support you will get from this tribe.
Our entire ethos is to be 100% results driven and we take a deep interest and do everything to ensure you are fully equipped to smash all your business and personal goals. You no longer have to operate and figure everything out on your own.
A Brief Background To How We Started
The inspiration behind this venture started after working for over a decade in senior Business Development roles during my corporate career (with Johnson & Johnson, Nortel Networks, Aventis & many leading management consultancy assignments, to name a few).
I rapidly became known as the go-to guy for helping fellow leaders to get fast business results, due to my ability to create absolute business simplicity and clarity for any given situation. I also used to help my contemporaries build their levels of clarity, direction, simplicity and confidence.
As well as helping gain fast business results, I also had this unique ability to help leaders to quickly achieve a deep sense of freedom and inner happiness. This was largely due to my lifelong study of ancient spiritual wisdom which taught me how to have a high degree of over my mind and emotions.
The Birth Of The Yogi Warrior Tribe
As my success stories in the corporate world began to grow, I became inundated with enquiries from other executives and entrepreneurs to help them achieve peak performance results, whilst maintaining a real sense of happiness.
I was encouraged from all quarters to set up on my own and there was a real need for my coaching services and, consequently, this venture was born.
Your Next Steps
Join our tribe for free and experience your very own transformation!
You are invited to join our tribe today and take advantage of some powerful training we have put together for you.
