The 2017 American League Championship Series was a best-of-seven playoff pitting the Houston Astros against the New York Yankees for the American League pennant and the right to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2017 World Series. The Astros defeated the Yankees in 7 games after falling behind 3 games to 2. The home team won every game in the series.
This was the first time in history that the ALCS and NLCS teams were from the four most populous U.S. cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.[1]
For the first time, Major League Baseball sold presenting sponsorships to all of its postseason series; this ALCS was sponsored by Camping World and was officially known as the American League Championship Series presented by Camping World.[2][3]
The Astros would go on to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series in seven games, winning their first World Series championship in franchise history.

The Astros defeated the Boston Red Sox 3–1 in the 2017 American League Division Series (ALDS).[4] This is the Astros' fifth appearance in a League Championship Series, and their first since transferring from the National League to the American League. Their only previous LCS win came in the 2005 National League Championship Series; they lost in 1980, 1986, and 2004. They are also the first AL West team to make it to the ALCS since 2011.
The Yankees upset the heavily-favored Cleveland Indians 3–2 in the ALDS to advance.[5] This is the Yankees' 16th appearance in the ALCS, and their second as a Wild Card. Their last ALCS appearance came in the 2012 American League Championship Series where they got swept by the Detroit Tigers. They had won in eleven of their previous fifteen appearances. This is the sixth straight year in which an AL East team has made it to the ALCS.
This was the second postseason match-up between these two teams, with the Astros defeating the Yankees in the 2015 American League Wild Card Game at Yankee Stadium. This was also the first ALCS to not feature any American League Central Division teams since 2010.
Houston won the series, 4–3.

In a pitcher's duel, Dallas Keuchel and Masahiro Tanaka allowed no runs through the first three innings before the Astros scored in the bottom of the fourth. José Altuve hit an infield single and stole second base, before Carlos Correa drove him in with an RBI single. Yuli Gurriel drove in Correa to give the Astros a 2–0 lead. Keuchel recorded ten strikeouts, allowing four hits and no runs in seven innings. Tanaka pitched six innings with three strikeouts and allowed two earned runs. Chad Green relieved Tanaka and threw two scoreless innings. Ken Giles was brought in with one out in the eighth for a five-out save. He struck out four of six but allowed a home run to Greg Bird before striking out Jacoby Ellsbury swinging to end the game. It was his second save of this postseason.[13]

Justin Verlander threw a complete game, allowing one run and five hits while striking out 13. Carlos Correa opened the scoring in the fourth inning with a home run off of starter Luis Severino that barely scraped over the right field wall. It was reviewed for fan interference, as a child reached his glove over the wall in an attempt to catch it.[14] Todd Frazier answered for the Yankees in the fifth with an RBI ground-rule double that was lodged in the center-field fence after a two-out double by Aaron Hicks.[14] In the bottom of the ninth, José Altuve singled with one out off of Aroldis Chapman. Correa hit a walk-off double to right field, as Gary Sanchez did not field the ball cleanly at home plate and Altuve scored the winning run, giving the Astros a 2–0 series lead heading to New York.[15]

In the bottom of the second inning, Todd Frazier opened the scoring with a three-run home run after two two-out singles off of Charlie Morton. The Yankees piled on five more runs in the fourth inning. After a leadoff ground-rule double and two-out walk, Chase Headley's RBI single made it 4–0 Yankees. A hit-by-pitch to Brett Gardner loaded the bases before Morton was relieved by Will Harris, who threw a wild pitch to let Frazier score before a three-run home run by Aaron Judge made it 8–0.[16] CC Sabathia did not allow a run in six innings pitched, striking out five. In the top of the ninth inning, Dellin Betances entered in relief only to walk the first two batters before getting pulled for Tommy Kahnle. A single by Cameron Maybin loaded the bases, then one out later, walk to Alex Bregman forced in a run, but Jose Altuve hit into the game-ending double play as the Yankees' won Game 3 8–1.[17]

Game 4 began as a pitcher's duel. The Yankees' Sonny Gray threw five scoreless innings, allowing only one hit while Astros' Lance McCullers Jr. threw six shutout innings with one hit. With the bases loaded in the top of the sixth on two walks and a catcher's interference call, Yuli Gurriel cleared them with a double off of David Robertson to put the Astros up 3–0. The next inning, a Starlin Castro fielding error allowed Marwin González, who doubled, to score, increasing the lead to 4–0. In the bottom of the seventh, Aaron Judge hit a home run, chasing McCullers from the game. Chris Devenski entered in relief only to allow a triple to Didi Gregorius and a sacrifice fly to Gary Sánchez, cutting the lead to 4–2. In the bottom of the eighth, Todd Frazier and Chase Headley both singled, with the latter tripping on his way to second base and evading José Altuve's close tag to remain safe at second. As Ken Giles entered the game, a Brett Gardner groundout made the score 4–3 before Judge doubled into left field, tying the game at 4–4. Gregorius singled and Sánchez doubled in two runs to complete the Yankees comeback, now up 6–4. Aroldis Chapman entered in the top of the ninth inning, pitching a 1-2-3 inning to get his first save of the series and third this postseason as the Yankees rallied to tie the series at two games all.[18]

In the top of the second inning, Yulieski Gurriel hit a leadoff double, but was stranded with three consecutive groundouts. In the bottom half of that inning, Starlin Castro hit a two-out double and was driven in by Greg Bird's single. Next inning Chase Headley hit a leadoff single and scored on Aaron Judge's one-out double. In the fifth, after a single and walk, back-to-back two-out RBI singles by Gary Sanchez and Didi Gregorius made it 4–0 and knock starter Dallas Keuchel out of the game. Gary Sánchez provided insurance with a home run in the bottom of the seventh inning off of Brad Peacock. Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven shutout innings and Tommy Kahnle pitched two innings to close. The Yankees were now one win away from the World Series.[19]
WP: Justin Verlander (2–0) LP: Luis Severino (0–1)
HOU: José Altuve (1)
Facing elimination, Justin Verlander threw seven shutout innings for the Astros, striking out eight. The Astros struck first in the bottom of the fifth off of Luis Severino. After two walks, Brian McCann drove in the first run with a double, then another walk loaded the bases before José Altuve's two-run single put Houston on the board 3–0. In the top of the eighth, Aaron Judge hit a home run to cut the lead to 3–1, but the Astros increased their lead in the bottom of the inning, starting with an Altuve lead off home run off of David Robertson. After a double and single, Alex Bregman's two-run double made it 6–1. One out later Evan Gattis's sacrifice fly off of Dellin Betances made it 7–1 Astros. Ken Giles pitched a scoreless ninth as the Astros forced the first LCS Game 7 in either league since 2012. This was Houston's second ever win in a game facing elimination in a postseason series, the first being the 2015 American League Wild Card Game.[20]

In the winner-take-all game to decide the AL pennant winner, Aaron Judge made a leaping catch to rob Yuli Gurriel of a solo homer in the bottom of the second inning. CC Sabathia allowed the first run of the game on a home run to Evan Gattis in the fourth. Tommy Kahnle entered the game in relief, but in the fifth, gave up a home run to José Altuve and after two singles, a two-run double to former Yankee Brian McCann, extending the Astros lead to 4–0. For the Astros, Charlie Morton pitched five innings, allowed one walk and struck out five. Lance McCullers Jr. entered in relief, pitching four scoreless innings to close out the game and earn his first career save. McCullers ended the game throwing 24 straight curveballs; a Greg Bird flyout to George Springer was the final out of the game, sending the Astros to the 2017 World Series.[21]
The Astros advanced to their first World Series in 12 years, becoming the first team to win pennants in both leagues. Houston's victory made this just the fifth best-of-seven series (following the 1987, 1991, and 2001 World Series, and the 2004 National League Championship Series), and the first ALCS, in which the home team won all seven games.[22]
This was also Joe Girardi's final game as Yankees manager as 5 days after the game the Yankees announced that he would not be coming back for the 2018 season.[23]

CANNONBALL, ND – On Monday, August 15, a herd of horses was used to disburse the line of police officers that guarded the entrance to the construction site used to build the Dakota Access Pipeline.
With the way cleared, a group of 12 defenders from the Sacred Stone Spiritual Camp replaced the police officers at the entrance of the construction site. They were arrested, handcuffed and taken away.
Another group of defenders jumped the fence and raced out into the construction area to block the way of a bull dozer, after impairing the path of the dozer, they ran back to the designated protest area. Monday night, the construction crew packed up their camp and left the area.
The stand to stop the construction of the pipeline started with a few defenders last week that grew to 500 on the weekend and numbers 1,500 as of last Monday. After a false start on Sunday, the OST finance committee approved taking $45,000 out of the Ramah settlement monies from the treaty line item to support tribal members traveling to Cannonball. Wounded Knee District and American Horse School contributed buses for the trip. Both Wounded Knee District School and the Wounded Knee executive board pledged to provide support for those wishing to attend the protests. A total of 341 tribal members signed up for the $100 compensation offered.
No this is not the KXL pipeline, it's a $3.78 billion project to build a pipeline from Stanley, North Dakota, to Patoka, Illinois, 1,172 miles. Up to 4,000 workers are expected to construct the 346 miles of pipeline through North Dakota; two union contractors are constructing simultaneously at three sites. A report filed with the ND Public Utilities Commission at the end of July stated that 44 % had been completed, 152 miles had been completed with the North Dakota portion scheduled for completion by Oct. 31. When the overall pipeline is done, the pipeline is set to move 450,000 barrels a day through the pipeline.
In addition to tribal members from Pine Ridge, all of the tribes of the Oceti Sakowin had representatives including Sanding Rock chairman Dave Archambault and Brandon Sazue from Crow Creek. Council representatives from Pine Ridge included Rich Greenwald, Ellen Fills Pipe and CJ Clifford.

2021-07-29T19:40:20+05:30 Police Held Five Men Accused Of Harassing Darjeeling Women In Delhi
Published: 29 Jul 2021, Updated: 29 Jul 2021 8:00 pm
Delhi police on Thursday arrested five men who were accused of an alleged harassment of a 30-year-old woman and her friends in southwest Delhi's Hauz Khas Village area.
According to police, the accused were identified as Dinesh Ram (34), a resident of Jhansi in UP; Ashish Shivhare (39), Vikas Shivhare (38), Naveen Shivhare (41) and Ankit Shivhare (29). All of them are residents of Chattarpur in Madhya Pradesh.
Police also said that they got the phone numbers of the accused during investigation and called them to the national capital after informing that a complaint had been received against them.
Interrogation revealed that the accused were returning after visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir. Their train bound for Madhya Pradesh from Delhi was scheduled for departure at 4 am on July 19. Since they had time, the accused went to Hauz Khas Village, where the incident took place, a senior police officer said.
All the five accused are known to each other. They were not involved in any case previously. Two of them run their DJ business and two others are doing business of tent houses, police said.
The incident took place in southwest Delhi's Hauz Khas area on the intervening night July 18 and 19 when the victim along with her three friends, all residents of Darjeeling in West Bengal -- were waiting for a cab outside a bar.
Three to four persons made lewd comments about them, according to the complaint lodged on July 21 at Safdarjung Enclave police station.
The complainant got annoyed, police had said, adding: she shouted at the men and made their video.
Later, their cab arrived and the women left the area. On the basis of the complaint, a case under section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was lodged.
The video made by the complainant was posted on social media, prompting Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) to issue a notice to police, asking them to register an FIR.
In the video, the women can be heard objecting to the indecent remarks, while the men can be seen apologising for the comments they had made before the woman started recording.

Best Practices for Better Pay Equity
A handful of recent events exposing gender-based pay inequity has seemed to bring the issue into the headlines to stay. A few weeks ago, the New York Times reported on House of Cards star Robin Wright's battle with Netflix to negotiate pay on par with that of her male co-star, Kevin Spacey. Last month, the U.S. Women's Soccer Team alleged pay discrimination in a complaint they filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission highlighting striking salary and bonus differences between the hugely successful women's soccer team and the markedly less successful men's team. And the plight of high-profile women CEOs like Marissa Meyer and Ursula Burns — who stepped down from Xerox a few days ago — suggests that the shrinking ranks of Fortune 500 women CEOs will soon shrink even further. Today, there are only 19. If that number is any kind of bellwether for pay equity, it's not encouraging. The time is long overdue for leveling the playing field between women's and men's pay, now and forever — not only for movie stars and on the soccer pitch, but in corporate boardrooms and everywhere in between.
It's likely that your own company has a pay equity issue. Most do. In 2015, there was a 21% pay gap between women's earnings and men's, meaning that for every dollar a man made, a woman made only 79 cents for the same work. Whether you're leading a company or on the lowest rung of the totem pole working for one, and whether you are a woman or a man, this is an issue that affects you. The sentiment in your workplace is at stake. To create a culture of fairness and respect, and to maintain a happy and productive workforce, Jane cannot be making less than John. Workers talk. If you are not paying equally, they will know. And they will not be motivated to do their best work if they are being treated unequally. I don't doubt that discrimination complaints will be on the rise with national attention on this issue. So, what can you do?
For starters, make sure that you pay both women and men fairly for the work they perform. Equal pay is not just about equal wages, either. Make sure to count bonuses, performance payments, and discretionary pay, too. Put in place best practices to ensure successful pay equity. Five specific ideas include:
Have transparent policies and practices in place with regard to pay structures.
Audit those policies regularly to make sure that, even inadvertently, your company is not paying workers unequally for equal work. I admire how Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and SVP Leyla Seka are spearheading efforts at their 10,000+ person company to track pay across gender to ensure fairness.
Consider flexible and mobile work arrangements and how those will help all people at your company to succeed and to thrive better. It is my gut-feel that with more gender balance in the workplace, pay inequity will cease. This has everything to do with attracting and maintaining a diverse workforce.
Combat unconscious bias in hiring in order to secure that diverse workforce. Getting things right from the start of the process of staffing your company is critical. Describe jobs fairly. Hire accordingly. Pay based on the skills sought and decide that as much as possible before even interviewing candidates.
Know your audience. A recent article showed that men are three times more likely than women to succeed in salary negotiations. Fairness must not be based solely on who asks or asks loudest.
These are some ideas to move toward the only acceptable solution of equal pay for equal work. Money isn't everything, though. In fact, I credit my own success in part to focusing less on pay and more on opportunities and goals. After all, success isn't only defined in terms of a bank account.
A friend saw Abby Wambach, former FIFA women's World Cup champion and two-time Olympic medalist and U.S. coach, speak on soccer's pay equity case recently. When asked what she'd do differently, Abby said she'd have asked for more earlier on in her career. She'd have raised her hand, asked specific questions with regard to the numbers involved, pushed for more when she was winning. But we're not all emboldened by a national — or international — stage like Abby. As a woman leader in tech, this is my moment to spearhead, to ask the difficult questions, to pursue equity in every way. Especially for young women in tech, we have to make sure that you're coming to us on a level playing field with the men, whether you're playing soccer or building an interface or practicing medicine. Pay inequality is everywhere, but it doesn't have to take us until 2059 to achieve pay equality. We can ensure a better and more diverse workplace by acting now.

Why Learn Spanish?
Language of Spain and Latin America ranks No. 4 in world
Gustavofrazao/Getty Images
Gerald Erichsen
Spanish Language Expert
B.A., Seattle Pacific University
Gerald Erichsen is a Spanish language expert who has created Spanish lessons for ThoughtCo since 1998.
If you want to know why you should learn Spanish, look first at who already is: For starters, residents of the United States, a bunch not known for conquering monolingualism, are studying Spanish in record numbers. Spanish, too, is becoming of greater importance in Europe, where it often is the foreign language of choice after English. And it's no wonder that Spanish is a popular second or third language: with some 400 million speakers, it's the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world (after English, Chinese and Hindustani), and the most geographically widely spoken after English. According to some counts it has more native speakers than English does. It is an official language on four continents and is of historical importance elsewhere.
The numbers alone make Spanish a good choice for those wanting to learn another tongue. But there are plenty of other reasons to learn Spanish. Here are a few:
Knowing Spanish Improves Your English
Much of the vocabulary of English has Latin origins, much of which came to English by way of French. Since Spanish is also a Latin language, you will find as you study Spanish that you have a better understanding of your native vocabulary. Similarly, Spanish and English share Indo-European roots, so their grammars are similar. There is perhaps no more effective way to learn English grammar than by studying the grammar of another language, for the study forces you to think about how your language is structured.
Your Neighbors May Speak Spanish
Not all that many years ago, the Spanish-speaking population of the United States was confined to the Mexican border states, Florida, and New York City. But no more. Even states along the Canadian border, such as Washington and Montana, have their share of native Spanish speakers.
Spanish Is Great for Travel
Yes, it is perfectly possible to visit Mexico, Spain, and even Equatorial Guinea without speaking a word of Spanish. But it isn't nearly half as much fun. Among the real-life experiences people have had simply because they speak Spanish are getting invited to people's homes for meals, being given lyrics so they can sing along with mariachis, being asked to translate for monolingual travelers, taking dance lessons without being a part of a group of travelers, and getting asked to join a pick-up game of soccer (football), among many others. Time and time again while traveling in Latin America and Spain, doors will be open to you if you speak Spanish that aren't open for most travelers
Learning a Language Helps You Learn Others
If you can learn Spanish, you'll have a head start in learning the other Latin-based languages such as French and Italian. And it will even help you learn Russian and German, since they too have Indo-European roots and have some characteristics (such as gender and extensive conjugation) that are present in Spanish but not English. And it wouldn't be surprising if learning Spanish might even help you learn Japanese or any other non-Indo-European language, since intensively learning the structure of a language can give you a reference point for learning others.
Spanish Is Easy
Spanish is one of the easiest foreign languages to learn for English speakers. Much of its vocabulary is similar to English's, and written Spanish is almost completely phonetic: Look at almost any Spanish word and you can tell how it is pronounced.
Knowing Spanish May Help You Find Work
If you're in the United States and work in one of the helping professions including medicine and education, you'll find your opportunities expand by knowing Spanish. And wherever you live, if you're in any occupation that involves international trade, communications, or tourism, you'll similarly find opportunities to use your new language skills.
Spanish Can Keep You Informed
If you're into international news, you'll find it's much easier to stay informed about developments in Spain and much of the Western Hemisphere if you know Spanish. There are plenty of interesting news stories—recent examples include anti-Uber taxi strikes in Bogotá and the impacts of migration from Venezuela—that are covered little in the English media or not covered at all.
Spanish Is Fun!
Whether you enjoy talking, reading, or mastering challenges, you'll find all of them in learning Spanish. For many people, there's something inherently enjoyable about successfully speaking in another tongue. Perhaps that's one reason children sometimes speak in Pig Latin or devise secret codes of their own. Although learning a language can be work, the efforts pay off quickly when you finally get to use your skills.
For many people, Spanish offers the most rewards with the least effort of any foreign language. It's never too late to begin learning.

This week I'm reviewing the Too Faced Spring Collection.
The collection includes the Natural Love palette, 3 highlighters and new melted matte shades.
I splurged on the palette and rose gold highlighter.
When I first saw the palette, I knew I had to have it!
Here are some of my favorite shades in the palette.
There is A LOT of fallout with these.
If I'm using this to do a look, I will do my eyemakeup first.
That way I can use a makeup wipe to wipe away all of the extra shadow from my face and around my eyes.
I don't normally experience that with a Too Faced palette, but these shadows are in bigger pans which is a plus too!
When I saw the three highlights, I knew I wanted the rose gold one.
I'm trying to branch out from your typical white or champagne highlight.
I love the packaging of this highlight. I think it is so gorgeous.
However, the highlight is a little darker than I thought it was going to be.
It might work for me in the summer time, but I may just end up using it as an eyeshadow or inner corner highlight.
Overall, I think the Spring Collection is gorgeous!!
I do wish the highlighters were for a more natural look (just because that's my preference) and I wish the palette didn't have so much fallout but I'm still glad I got them!!
This palette is gorgeous. Too faced has the prettiest eye shadows.

Donald Alexander McNiven (23 June 1887 – 31 July 1961) was a Canadian politician on the provincial and federal level. He was born in Walkerton, Ontario and became a barrister and judge.

McNiven attended public and secondary schools at Virden, Manitoba. He graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1909 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

He was elected as a provincial Liberal member to the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan at the Regina City riding in a by-election on 19 September 1922. He was a member of that legislature until his defeat in the 1929 provincial election.

McNiven was elected to the House of Commons of Canada for the Liberal party at the Regina City riding in the 1935 general election and re-elected there in 1940.

McNiven resigned from the House of Commons on 19 October 1944 before the end of the 19th Canadian Parliament to become a judge on the Saskatchewan Court of King's Bench. In that same year, he also began to serve on various wartime-related boards. In 1949, he was made a judge of the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan where he presided until shortly before his death in July 1961.

Abstract: A biomechanical and tribological study for surface roughness, lubrication and bracket materials is investigated. The study is designed to determine the suitability of NUS-developed aesthetic composite brackets and archwires, martensitic-coated archwires. The sliding force involved in a ligated bracket-archwire combination is measured by self-designed jig. To improve analysis of the active configuration, a mathematical model is developed. A comparative study of experimental and mathematical frictional resistance is illustrated for progressive wear damage. Although penetrations through the soft matrix and soft coating are observed on many brackets and archwires specimens, the glass-fiber reinforcement within the composite brackets and archwires is undamaged for most of the conditions tested but exposed severely. This finding implies that the risk of glass fiber and coating release during clinical use would not be eliminated. The main contribution made in this thesis is that the presence of saliva had a consistent effect to increase the friction.

Newcastle United are claimed to have made an approach to take on Kiko Casilla as their first choice goalkeeper.
Since arriving from Espanyol for £5m in summer 2015 he has been Real Madrid's number two goalkeeper.
He has had nine La Liga starts this season but that was when first choice Keylor Navas was out injured.
With the imminent arrival of Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao this month, it will push Kiko Casilla even off the bench and down to third choice.
Don Balon report that Newcastle have made an approach for the goalkeeper but that they face competition from Deportivo la Coruna.
Rafa Benitez did work with Kiko Casilla when the pair were together but Rafa only gave him two La Liga starts in his brief spell at the club in the 2015/16 season.
Meanwhile, Marca also report Newcastle's interest in the 31 year old Real Madrid goalkeeper but they add that the Spanish club are happy to smooth the way for Casilla to leave.
They claim that Newcastle's approach last summer was knocked back as Real Madrid insisted he stayed as back-up keeper for this season.
In return for him having stayed until now, Marca say that in return they will help as much as possible to get the deal done this time.
Rafa Benitez made a number of moves in the summer for a new experienced first choice goalkeeper but was left with only a choice of his keepers from the Championship season.
Tim Krul leaving the club permanently whilst Matz Sels went out on loan to Anderlecht for the season.
Rafa started with Rob Elliot in goal before being forced to drop him after some poor performances, Karl Darlow then doing ok initially before then being dropped himself.
Rob Elliot came back in only to be injured in the Manchester City match, with Karl Darlow back in and keeping two clean sheets as Newcastle have drawn with Brighton and beaten Stoke.
Both Darlow and Elliot are capable at times but neither have the quality to be first choice and playing week in week out.
Whilst obviously we are all desperate to see more creativity and goal threat arrive at Newcastle this month, I find it inconceivable that Rafa won't bring in a new first choice keeper, whether it is Kiko Casilla or whoever.


Precision Concrete Solutions has performed very well and their workmanship is some of the best I seen. They work well with customers and complete their work in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use them again on future projects.

Part II: Tectonic Plates, Geologic Time, and Earthquakes
No one doubts that the Earth is the most hospitable planet in the solar system. We have a breathable atmosphere, and the temperature, as Goldilocks said about the porridge, is "just right." Venus is too hot, Mars is too cold, and the Moon and Mercury have no atmosphere at all to speak of.
But in terms of earthquakes, the other planets could be considered safer places to live than the Earth. That's because the Earth's outer shell is broken up into great slabs called plates that jostle and grind against one another like huge ice floes. In the process, all that crunching between plates forces parts of the crust up to create mountains, causing earthquakes in the process. In contrast, the crust of the other inner planets consists entirely of massive rock that experienced most of its mountain-building activity billions of years ago, soon after the planets were formed. Now the crustal movements on these planets have been stilled. There is no grinding of plates against one another to cause them to shake.
But the Earth has active volcanoes and earthquakes, which are geologic phenomena, and to understand them we need a brief introduction to their geologic setting. This requires us to stretch our minds to think about moving masses of rock that are extremely large, many tens of miles thick and hundreds of miles wide. We also must think of great lengths of time. Just as an astronomer asks us to think of great distances of hundreds of billions of miles, a geologist asks us to think about thousands, even millions of years. An earthquake may happen in less than thirty seconds, but it is a response to the slow motion of massive tectonic plates on the surface of the Earth, building up strain over many thousands of years.
How do we study earthquakes? We can see the effects of past earthquakes in fault ruptures on the Earth's surface. We can learn about earthquakes as they happen by the squiggles they make on a seismograph record. We can think about future earthquakes by measuring the slow buildup of tectonic strain in the Earth, using orbiting satellites and the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Coach skills can be invaluable tools for people in many different areas of influence and applied to your context as a leader, manager, consultant, colleague, romantic partner, parent, teacher, or friend.
And actually reach the goals you want to reach.
Coaching is not another task to add to your already busy schedule. It is an approach to interacting. A mindset. A life-giving way of leading.
I offer two variations on this theme as well as mentor coaching (see below).
This training, originally developed by Dr. Keith Webb based on his book The COACH Model, is a coaching techniques workshop for leaders and individuals wanting to learn professional level coaching skills, with the guiding principles and assumptions rooted in the Christian faith.
An open coach skills training I developed for creative business owners & consultants offering service-based solutions, and social impact professionals working for non-profit or social enterprises.
New dates and weblink with more information forthcoming. Please get in touch if you are interested and want to find out more.
As an ACC coach (6+ years) in good standing with the International Coach Federation, I offer mentor coaching in 5- or 10-hour packages for aspiring coaches working towards their ICF ACC credential. Please get in touch if you'd like to work together individually or form a group.
"Mentor Coaching for an ICF Credential consists of coaching and feedback in a collaborative, appreciative and dialogued process based on an observed or recorded coaching session to increase the coach's capability in coaching, in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies.
Mentoring provides professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency and capability demanded by the desired credential level.
Mentor Coaching should take place over an extended time (three-month minimum) in a cycle that allows for listening and feedback from the Mentor Coach while also allowing reflection and practice on the part of the individual being mentored.
Leaders in any realm often spend the majority of their time focused on others. But to lead well you also need somewhere to turn. Leadership coaching provides a space to reflect and grow.
You may need a place to process ideas, be challenged to see beyond your current perspective, or simply grow and develop in order to meet the demands of your position. We focus on what is most helpful and necessary for you, in terms of both professional and personal wellbeing.
