I spent almost the whole August in Czech Republic. Left Melbourne on 8th and came back 30th. It was simply amayzing. Seeing all my friends, family, drinking all the beer, eating the delicius Czech cousine and last but not least, sleeping with beautiful Czech girls.

The last point is the only one I'm going to elaborate on in this log. Since everything else doesn't have that high value from pickup persepctive (of course except for making me happy beond mesures and lifting my state to the sky).

Thursday in the capital
=======================
First few days in, I organized a party with my mates from Czech capital, Prague. We went to a pub and had few beers, as you do. When we came back to my mates house, there she was, his housemate. Tool sporty chick just in neglige (mind you it was after midnight). We all had few drinks and I started giving her the hellfire eyes.

After an hour everybody except for us went to sleep. She was giving me so many green lights that I just got up and went for a kiss. Long makeout with me touching her over her neglige. This went on for two hours: talking, kissing, touching.. escalating. Then she said we should go to sleep and I tought "hell yeah! let's do exactly that" and then she said "everybody to their own bed", our good old friend LMR. Little bit more kissing and then she actually went into her room and didn't let me in.

I took a shower, thought a bit about it and then I just went to her room anyway, lied in her bed and said that I'm just coming for a good night kiss. I tried to escalate further but she resisted and it was already after 4 o'clock in the morning. I just gave up, especially when she told me she has kind a boyfriend (guy I remotely knew).

In the morning she made me breakfast, a bit of kissing and off I went on my motorbike.

Trip to the medival castel
==========================
It was my first Saturday in Czech, almost a week in. I had little party evening before, to be honest, I had party every evening. In the morning two my mates and I had a breakfast and coffe and then meet rest of the group at the bus station. I met a new girl there. It was coleague of my friends, I'll call her blondie.

We started drinking on a bus, we drank a lot but after a week spent in Czech my alcohol tolerance was almost back in incredible Czech strenght so I would call my state being tipsy regardless the piles of alcohol we consumed.

I wasn't really trying to do anything pickup related. I was just truly happy. After a year. That that's the best reciepe for being attractive. We visited the beautiful castle, drink and ate a bit more and then on our way back I seaparated with the blondie and started doing a bit of "game". I was giving her the hellfire eyes (TM belongs to Liam), having realy deep and steady voice and I had so much experience to share with her since she was 21 freshmen at uni.

I asked for her number and after arrivial didn't really pay attention to her. I had responsibility to all that beer. And she sat next to her ex and then drove him home in the evening.

After castle party
==================
With my best mate we "invented" saying: Having fun at the party is just the metter of money. This means that if you are tired you buy few Red Bulls, if you are sad you have few shots of tequila... And this after party was exactly like that, I spent over $150 that night which is incredible amout given the fact that beer costs $1.50 and shots of my favourite whiskey are $3.

At the end of the night I ended up in bed with my old friend at her place. We didn't fuck she didn't want to.

In the morning I told her that this is fucked up, I want to fuck her, she wants to fuck me, nobody else will know regardless if it happens or not. Yeah, going with logic I know, rookie mistake. But it was hail marry attempt and it worked. Few minutes after I'm in her and it was fun! Then she drove me to the pub to see all other friends.

Mate's apartment
================
My best mate has a huge appartment in the center of a small Northern city. I was staying in that apartment for most of the time and logistically you wouldn't find better place in the whole city that this apartment. It's huge and all the restaurants around are great starting point.

The best thing? My mates left their apartment when they went for the whole weekend to Germany.

Next Friday
=============
I was messaging with both chicks (housmate and blondie) through the week and over huge shittests (I'm not going to sleep with you, what do you offer me as a reward for coming such a long way, ...) I managed to invite housmate (the first chick) to my mate's apartment on Friday evening. We went shoping and for ingrediences and then cooked my famous date dish: goulash.

Straight after we finished eating it, we were fucking in my mates bed. No LMR. I was expecting huge resistance (based on all those messages, but there was none). Women. can't live with them, can't live without them :) Didn't fuck her multiple times because she was bleeding a bit and frankly, I was tired after week of partying.

Saturday
========
I walked the housemate to the bus stop first thing in the morning and started preparing my second date: blondie.

I promised her ride on my motorbike. And she lived hour ride from my house. I firstly took my mom for a ride since I promised her one ride when I'm in Czech. After that I was already late so I messaged the blondie that I'm going to be half an hour late. She took it well.

I picked her up on a main street in her vilage (she didn't want to explain parents who picked her up, which is great, no strings attached). She was stunning. Without exaduration one of the hottest birds I dated. I gave her all the gear and off we wen't.

Firstly we rode for roughly 40 mins (I promised her that I'm going to ride safely = slowly) to a small town where I stopped in a pub. We had some soft drinks and I bought her some sweets as a present.

I asked her if she was scared behind me and she said no :) I told her that we're going to fix that.

Then I rode at the edge of what I consider safe with two people on a motorbike up to a mountain lookout. And oh boy, I made her scared.

Lookout was nice, but long till sunset and it started to get really cold.

I took her to my mate's apartment and we changed from riding clothing to evening restaurant cloathing and she looked even better. She wanted to take her backpack to the pub but I told her to leave it because we are not going far. (this was crucial, there wasn't any unclarity about where are we going to go from the pub)

In a pub we sat into a comfy couch and started bantering, mocking each other and eventually kissing. There wans't any special game except for me focusing few times to touch her, focusing on an eye contact and obviously going for the kiss. I paid for her (I don't think that letting her pay for her half of the dinner would hurt my chance but $15 is just not worth thinking about it).

I said that we are going to mine to taste Australian beer (Fat Yak) and that what we did. As we were sipping trough the beer, I got up, stand behind her, grabbed her hair, hold it firmly aside and started kissing her on a neck, 10 min after we were fucking in my friends bed again.

She was amayzing and it's fair to say that her sex skills were much higher than mine. Still some room for improvement.

After sex I hoped that she's going to stay, but she took her clothing on and went to sleep to her auntie. First time in my live when the sex was really just sex, no strings or expectations attached.

This chick was one of the most valuable I've ever had. She punched me quite a few times (was wild one) and she even told me that I can't let her punch me :) so I cought her hand and spank her next time. I'll do it now every time girl tries to punch me.

Rest of the holiday
====================
With 3 lays I easaed off, and just enjoyed the last week with my mates why fucking the housemate from time to time. It was one of the best holidays I've ever had.

Yemen's racehorses battle starvation as war grinds on
Abdulrahman Al-Ansi and Adel Al-Khader | Posted: Dec. 1, 2021, 10:29 a.m. | Updated: Dec. 1, 2021, 12:24 p.m. | 2 Min Read
By Abdulrahman Al-Ansi and Adel Al-Khader
SANAA (Reuters) - In her prime, Out Time was one of Yemen's fastest horses, winning the capital Sanaa's annual championship race in 2018 and placing second in 2019.
Now, with animal feed increasingly scarce after seven years of war, the grey mare's coat is dull and her rib-cage protrudes, and her 16-year-old jockey has stopped racing her because she is too weak to compete.
"I consider her my friend. I cannot see her starving like this," Hussain al-Qummali said at the equestrian club in the city that his father Mohamad runs.
In the paddock, Out Time, born in 2014 as the war began, took what nourishment she could from a few small bundles of grass shared with dozens of other horses, many thinner than her, before being taken for a gentle gallop around a dusty, makeshift track.
Of 97 horses maintained last year by the club - one of several in the capital city of a country with a millennia-long tradition of breeding and racing horses - only around 50 remain.
"Large group of horses died due to starvation and health deterioration, and we had to sell some of them in order to feed the others," Mohamad al-Qummali told Reuters.
Yemen's war, which pits a Saudi-led coalition against Iran-aligned Houthi forces, has descended into a brutal stalemate that has killed more than 100,000 people and also pushed what remains of its human population to the verge of starvation.
"We don't know what to do anymore. There is no income. We sold personal cars, weapons, everything to save these horses," Mohamad al-Qummali added.
"Unfortunately, it's like the issue doesn't concern anyone."

SOURCES ON 1915 INCIDENTS NEED TO BE ACADEMICALLY RESEARCHED
Blog No : 2017 / 30
Maxime GAUIN
PDF İndir :
Daily Sabah (23 June 2017)
As Taner Akçam became the most cited reference of mainstream Armenian groups, his use of sources to justify calling the 1915 incidents genocide should be double-checked. This is a response to his last defense of the testimony of Sarkis Torossian and his more recent discovery of a document supposedly proving the Ottoman government's genocidal intentions.
A sociologist dealing with historical issues, particularly Ottoman Armenians, Taner Akçam has faced increasing criticism during the past decade. He never answered the critiques, including mine in Daily Sabah on March 25, 2015 of his use of Ottoman documents, such as the telegram sent by Interior Minister Talaat Pasha on Aug. 29, 1915, a document forbidding violence against Armenians and yet presented by Akçam as excellent evidence of genocidal intent against them.
THE FAMOUS FABRICATED VETERAN
In the Journal of Genocide Research, last winter (Vol. 19, No. 2, p. 277), he unexpectedly and indirectly answered the article I had published in Daily Sabah on Oct. 2, 2015, on his favorite witness for 1915, Sarkis Torossian, a self-described veteran of the Ottoman, British and French armies. Akçam now admits that the French certificate of decoration is, problematic, which is a considerable understatement, but he remains silent on the absurdities I found in the book and on the absence of any Torossian in the lists of officers of the Armenian Legion. Akçam, who cannot read French, changed the subject in mentioning the photograph of Torossian "wearing a French-Armenian voluntary unit uniform" that is published in Torossian's book, and another one, the English translation, "Evereg-Fenesse: its Armenian history and tradition," of a study, "Hishatakaran Evereek-Feneesei / Hawakets," printed in Armenian in Paris in 1963. Ayhan Aktar followed Akçam once again.
Yet, Torossian is not wearing the same uniform in these two pictures. For example, the decorations visible in his own book disappear in the other one. Beside this discrepancy, there is no date and no recognizable building in these photographs, yet anybody could buy or rent uniforms of the Armenian Legion in the U.S. during the 1920s, because many of its member were from America and went back home after the unit was disbanded in September 1920. So these pictures prove nothing except the lack of care of those who use them as evidence.
More recently, Akçam claimed to have found the smoking gun he has been looking for 25 years: An implicit admittance that the authentic telegram sent by Talaat Pasha on Aug. 29, 1915 is no evidence for genocidal intent. It is a telegram attributed to B. Şakir, a leader of the Committee for Union and Progress (CUP), in power from 1913 to 1918, and was supposedly sent to the governor of Mamüret-ül Aziz, modern-day Elazığ.
Contrary to what The New York Times published on April 22, 2017, it is hardly a new argument. It was previously used by Arthur Beylerian in 1983, Gerard Libaridian in 1984, Vahakn N. Dadrian in 1994 in facsimile, Yves Ternon in 1996 and Akçam himself in 2006 and 2008. Moreover, even if the telegram is authentic, and we will see that this is not the case, it cannot be presented as evidence of genocidal intent. Indeed, the text asks about the fate of the Armenians and separately requests information about the elimination or not of "the dangerous persons," Armenians in general and "dangerous persons" in particular not being confused in the text.
NOT A FACT-BASED DOCUMENT
Extrapolation, a method recurrently used in the mainstream publications supporting the Armenian genocide label, is not the only problem. What Akçam showed us is actually not a document but a mediocre photograph. The original, if it actually exists, is in the archives of the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem, and Akçam himself not been allowed to work there. He never faced serious difficulties to work in the Ottoman archives for more than 10 years. Such a basic issue is alluded to in his presentation of the document.
Yet, any serious historian should consider the impossibility to access the original to be both a fundamental problem and a reason to be even more careful in the verification of its authenticity. Regardless, Akçam and his supporters have never explained, at least for the moment, how B. Şakir, who left his position in the Special Organization (SO), an elite unit of the Ottoman army, on June 19, 1915, could have signed a document with the title of a SO leader on July 4, 1915, the date of the alleged telegram: see Ahmet Tetik, "Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa (Umûr-ı Şarkıyye Dairesi) Tarihi: 1914-1916," (İstanbul, Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları, 2014, p. 316).
More fundamentally, the telegram was used in the trial in absentia of Şakir, so it has to be understood in the more general context of the trials of CUP leaders and officials in 1919-1920, during the occupation of Istanbul along with the impossibility of being assisted by a lawyer during the investigation, suppression of the right to appeal the sentences, absence of cross-examination of the witnesses and documents produced by the prosecutor. About Şakir in particular, W. S. Edmonds, a diplomat working at the Eastern Department of the British Foreign Office, wrote on March 9, 1920, that his sentence did not mean anything, because if Şakir went back to Istanbul, he would have the right to ask for a new trial (The National Archives, Kew Gardens, FO 371/5089/E 949, f° 84). Even more remarkably, Col. Süleyman Şakir, one of the judges of the court martial that sentenced B. Şakir, wrote a report concluding that there was no witness or intelligence to corroborate the accusations against him. Similarly, the photograph shows us the deciphered version of the telegram. As a result, it should be on the regular paper of the Ottoman administration of Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones. This is not the case. Problems were raised on the website of the Center for Eurasian Studies (AVIM) by a young historian, Sean Patrick Smyth.
That interesting analysis, however, does not exhaust the issue. In particular, Akçam has to tell us why the telegram was not used by British authorities and their Armenian and Greek assistants during the investigation conducted into 144 former Ottoman officials arrested and interned on Malta from 1919 to 1921. On Aug. 24, 1921, Judge Lindsay Smith concluded that the investigation was a complete failure and that a trial ending with a general acquittal would hardly improve the prestige of the Crown. As a result, he suggested an exchange of prisoners with the Kemalists (FO 371/6504/E 10023). Is it imaginable that a smoking gun, as Akçam alleges, could have been missed by the British authorities who occupied Istanbul from the end of 1918 to 1923? On the contrary, Ottoman documents actually found by the British have been published in Salahi Sonyel's "The Displacement of Armenians. Documents" (Ankara: TTK, 1978, and can be checked in FO 371/9158). Their content is a clear refutation of the accusation of an Armenian genocide and they show an Ottoman cabinet concerned about the fate of the relocated Armenians, giving orders to take care of them.
The implementation of these orders is another confirmation that there is no smoking gun at all. Indeed, in the province of Elazığ to which Şakir allegedly sent his telegram, 224 Muslims were sentenced for crimes against Armenians. These sentences were pronounced between October 1915 and January 1917, namely when the CUP was still in power and should not be confused with the unfair trials of 1919-1920, organized by an anti-CUP cabinet (Kamuran Gürün, "The Armenian File", London-Nicosia-İstanbul: K. Rüstem & Bro/Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1985, p. 213). Among these 224 people sentenced as a result of the CUP cabinet's orders, noteworthy is Ali Cemalzade Hüseyinoğlu, who was in charge of a convoy of relocated Armenians in Palu, close to Elazığ, who received a prison sentence (Yusuf Sarınay, "The Relocations (Tehcir) of Armenians and the Trials of 1915–16," Middle East Critique, Vol. 20, No. 3, 2011, p. 311).
As a result, it is clear that neither the formal aspect of this telegram nor the existing record corroborate the smoking gun theory. About this document, like Torossian's testimony and many other sources, Akçam recycles discredited material.

Each week, In Theory takes on a big idea in the news and explores it from a range of perspectives. This week we're talking about "one person, one vote." Need a primer? Catch up here.
The principle of "one person, one vote" is fundamental to Americans' understanding of democracy. But the common understanding of its meaning is actually quite different from the legal meaning at the heart of the Evenwel v. Abbott case. The assumption that the Supreme Court requires equality of voting power is wrong. When requiring legislative districts to be of equal population, it in fact established equality of constituent service as a constitutional right.
Yet adherence to even this principle is low. Few believe that our current Census methods come close to a perfect record of our population (and watch out — it may get even worse in 2020, given troubling battles over Census funding), making measures of population equality unreliable. Even when starting out with relatively accurate information, Census data can rapidly become out of date.
Courts make a fetish of such fictional population equality — but only at the start of each decade. In 2002, a federal court struck down Pennsylvania's congressional redistricting plan because one district had 19 more people than another, a difference of less than 0.003 percent, yet ignored what was widely perceived as a partisan gerrymander. When courts recently required Florida and Virginia to redraw their congressional districts, states adhered strictly to the last Census's data, even though it is six years old and was never terribly accurate. Yet by 2010, Nevada had a congressional district that had grown by more than 300,000 people during the decade, and there was no legal remedy.
These skewed figures suggest that it could be valuable to ask a new question: Is there a better way to realize voter equality in the United States than the winner-take-all methods we currently use?
The answer is an emphatic yes. By a simple statute, Congress could do far more to establish voter equality than ever achieved by the Supreme Court. The Ranked Choice Voting Act, a proposal expected to be introduced in the House next year, would require states to elect representatives through ranked choice voting (RCV) and to use multi-winner districts in states with more than one seat. States and cities could pursue similar reforms.
The first element, RCV, is an increasingly popular form of voting designed to generate outcomes as representative of voters' desires as is possible when voters have more than two choices in an election. Voters gain the option to rank backup choices along with their first choice, and those backup choices will count if their first choice loses. That simple change means that candidates have new incentives to reach out to voters who disagree with them, with measurable impact on candidate behavior. When electing one person through ranked choice voting, more than 50 percent of voters can be sure to help elect the winner. When electing three, more than 75 percent of voters will elect winners.
Today's combination of modern campaign techniques, voters' increasingly rigid partisan preferences and geographic sorting means that few general elections decided by a winner-take-all rule are competitive. Giving 100 percent of representation to 51 percent majorities cements distortions in representation, exacerbates gerrymandering and accords inordinate power to primary voters who don't represent the majority. It leads into a rabbit hole of paradoxes, often forcing those drawing district lines to choose between fair partisan outcomes, fair racial representation, competitive elections and geographic compactness.
The Ranked Choice Voting Act is the only comprehensive solution to gerrymandering. It creates a level playing field for candidates and parties and an equal voice for voters, while mitigating apportionment inequalities by reducing the number of districts and making more votes count. It could change Congress from a place where more than a third of Americans are represented by someone whose party they strongly oppose to one where every race would be meaningfully contested and nearly everyone would have a representative who reflects at least some of their values.
Peter A. Morrison: We have the data to make voting fair. Let's use it.
Aaron Blake: Thought immigration reform was unlikely? 'One person, one vote' could make things worse.

Member Quarterly Events
Member Quarterly Events will be regularly scheduled and, whenever possible, will be open to all Cyber Law Consortium members on a no-cost basis. Members will be encouraged to invite other cybersecurity and data privacy guests in order to acquaint them with the substantive topics presented by the organization as well as to engage in peer-to-peer networking across inter-professional categories including with members of their and other company's enterprise-wide cybersecurity and data privacy management teams.
The quarterly topics, for the most part, will feature highly-respected legal and technical IT experts in cybersecurity and data privacy matters as well as other emerging technologies which are having or are predicted to have a significant impact on the means and methods of defending a company's digital assets. Some presenters will focus on the regulatory requirements faced by in-house legal and IT employee experts as well as needed improvements to certain laws or regulations that govern or regulate the activities and responsibilities of cybersecurity and data privacy personnel.
Wherever possible, panels consisting of C-Level officials will be utilized to illustrate recent and real life experiences that help the attendees appreciate the perils or promise of a particular legal or technical practice or device.
SIG Quarterly Events
SIG Quarterly Events will be strongly promoted during the interregnum in view of the large variety of legal, technical and management skills and expertise that our members represent. The Cyber Law Consortium welcomes all who wish to participate or co-chair any member special interest groups by contacting our CEO, Roland Castaneda.
Your Opinion Matters — Please Take Our SIG Poll
View our poll with the list of special interest groups currently under consideration and vote on the ones you want us to create.
Governance-Level Quarterly Events
Governance-Level Quarterly Events will be an important feature of the Cyber Law Consortium. The corporate governance quarterly meetings will focus on all governance-level issues, including financial, ethical, civil and criminal liability or fiduciary responsibilities that relate to their duties, functions, responsibilities and the potential liabilities of the Board of Directors, C-Level executives, and General Counsel.
The Quarterly meetings of the Governance Level program will be held on a "By-Invitation-Only" basis and will be aimed at General Counsel, C-Level Executives and members of the Board of Directors. These Quarterly Meetings will be co-hosted by The Texas Lawbook, the Cyber Law Consortium, and the Cyber Future Foundation.
Brown Bag Lecture Series
The Brown Bag Lecture Series will consist of six to eight presentations especially designed to appeal to the 10,000+ small to mid-sized businesses in North Texas who wish to learn the basic concepts of cybersecurity and data privacy in a cogent and simplified manner and who typically lack resources to pay for in-house legal counsel and IT staff or outside IT consultants. The Dallas Business Journal will advertise the full year's offerings in full page ads. It is expected that companies will opt to send those staff persons most closely associated with the subject matter being addressed. Examples of topics are Cyber Insurance, GDPR Requirements, Ransomware & Malware, Officer & Director Liability Issues, etc. We expect this program to begin in early 2019.
Annual Award for Excellence in Cyber Governance
Beginning in 2020, this will become an annual event at which corporations in several business categories will receive the prestigious "excellence in cyber governance" awards as conferred by a panel of cybersecurity experts in the respective field of commerce. The awards will be granted to the company's Board member and his/her corporate cybersecurity management team. Eventually, the awards ceremony will be held in each of the three CLC chapter cities. The awards will bear the name of several pioneers in the fields of technology and cybersecurity.

Juice WRLD Dead At 21 After Suffering Seizure
Gone way too soon.
Alvin aqua Blanco
Hip-Hop just got hit with an unexpected gut punch. Rising rapper Juice WRLD, born Jarad Anthony Higgins, has passed away at just 21 years old.
According to TMZ, the "Lucid Dreams" rapper suffered a seizure while he was at Chicago's Midway Airport Sunday morning (Dec. 8). Reportedly, Juice had just gotten off a flight from California and was walking through the airport when he collapsed. Per law enforcement he was bleeding from his mouth by the time the paramedics arrived.
Although he was still conscious while he was rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead shortly after. Beyond speculation, there is no cause of death at this time.
Juice Wrld's sophomore album, Death Race for Love, was just released back in March via Interscope Records. It was the Chicago native's follow up to 2018's Goodbye & Good Riddance which featured his breakthrough hit "Lucid Dreams."

Humor Parenting
How Kids Boost Your Self-Esteem (and other parenting lies)
By Lisa Beach of Tweenior Moments
It's 7:15 a.m., and I'm sitting on the couch staring vacantly at Good Morning America, having just gotten back home after driving Parker to school. I'm clutching my cup of coffee with a death grip because I'm not yet fully awake, hoping the caffeine will jump start my mind and body. My crusty eyes barely open. My tired body sinks into the pillows. I might even be drooling.
Trevor, now awake, comes downstairs and sees me sitting on the couch in my sweatpants and coffee-stained T-shirt and bed-head shaped like a rooster.
He asks, "Did you take a shower yet?"
"No, why?" I reply, thinking, Isn't it obvious…no makeup, crazy hair, crappy clothes, catatonic stare at George Stephanopoulos.
"Sometimes it's hard to tell."
And I wonder why my self-esteem plummets a little bit more each day.
Sensing my emotional distress, Trevor channels his best Chris Traeger from Parks & Recreation and says, "But you're beautiful. On the inside."
I really need to start writing down these cherished love bombs in my teens' baby books that I've been meaning to work on for the past decade. I don't want to forget all the verbal arrows to my mother's heart over the years, such as these diamonds in the rough:
"What are those blue strings on your legs that look like rivers?" one son asked with great curiosity as he traced my varicose veins with his chubby toddler finger. "Look! That one is almost as long as the Amazon River!" he said excitedly, looking up from my river-veins to see if I was impressed that he knew Amazon was more than a place to buy cheap books.
"I'm shooting you!" one son angrily crooned to me throughout his childhood as he pointed his thumb and index finger at me gangsta style, then added, "with my love gun" as I dodged his linguistic bullets of affection.
"Your shirt looks weird," one son proclaimed as I headed out to meet friends for drinks.
"Why is your belly so squishy?" one son wondered when he poked what he thought were my rock-hard abs with his index finger and watched it sink knuckle-deep into my flabby stomach. (Years later, when he knew about the birds and the bees, I would point out how it was his fault that my stomach was so squishy.)
"You're just like Monica!" one son announced as we watched Friends, citing Ms. Geller's control-freak tendencies. "No, she's more like Claire from Modern Family," chimed in the other son, painstakingly pointing out how Mrs. Dunphy is both a control-freak and a spaz.
"This meal sucks," one son muttered under his breath as he picked out all the vegetables he didn't like in the vegetable stir fry I made for dinner.
"You sound like Sam Champion when you laugh," one son declared, citing the hearty guffaw of Good Morning America's former meteorologist. (Sorry, just trying to add a little sunshine to our family with some laughter.)
"Mom, look how the back of your arms flap back and forth when I flick them. That's too funny!" one son exclaimed as he played badminton with my flabby triceps, batting them back and forth like shuttlecocks.
"You can tell which movies Mom picked out," one son professed in disgust, quickly bypassing all the History Channel documentaries and National Geographic specials in our Netflix queue to get to the superhero/apocalyptic movies they like to watch.
"Oh my God, you are SO off-key, Mom," one son declared as I sang along to the Pitch Perfect soundtrack. (A-ca-scuse me for having a little fun.)
"You're such a dork!" pointed out one teen son anytime he witnessed my blunders and shortcomings. So, basically every day. (Even my husband jumped on this bandwagon once in a while. When I noticed Kevin nodding in agreement recently with my son's "dork proclamation," I pressed him for reasons why. He replied, "Alphabetically?" Smartass.)
My heart swells with pride self-doubt as I reminisce about these feel-good love nuggets tossed at me like word grenades, making me run to the self-help section of Barnes and Nobles. My family—the rock upon wind beneath my wings.

Fashion's Night Out already promises to be one lively, designer and celebrity-filled affair, but the evening's revelry will get an early kickoff as Karl Lagerfeld is honored by the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) at the Couture Council Luncheon that Friday afternoon. Simon Doonan will host the event at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, where fashionable ladies such as Daphne Guiness, Amanda Brooks, and Lauren Santo Domingo will gather to toast the German-born designer as he receives the council's Fashion Visionary Award.
Lagerfeld, who will be presented with the prestigious award by Chanel loyalist—and muse—Diane Kruger, got his first fashion-industry accolade when he won an international coat competition back in 1955. Since then, there's been no turning back for iconic designer who took the reins at the legendary house in 1983.
In addition to design stints at Balmain and Chloe, and also helming his eponymous line, Lagerfeld has reinvented himself as a visionary photographer, publisher, and collector, not to mention the fact that he's been the subject of several documentaries, fashion exhibitions, a visiting lecturing professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and recently a recipient of the Commander of the Legion of Honor award from French President Nicholas Sarkozy.


I am humbled. No fancy show, no high praise, no galleries calling. I am humbled. A few nice events, few great articles, 183 pieces of art. I am humbled. I knew going into this that it would be a challenge. I knew it would eat up most of my free time. I knew it would be worth it. I didn't realize how worth it it would be. This first 6 months have been some of the most rewarding in life. I have met new people, received great response and been more creative than I could ever imagine. I have been given donations by the cart-full, for which I am very thankful. I have sent a piece across the country to a fan (who won it by naming it) and it now hangs in his living room. I have read numerous emails inquiring about pricing, lessons and commissions. I… I… I… this project has started to become less about me as it has gone on. It has become the start of people's days. It has become something to look forward to. Something to share. Something to invest in. Something to be thankful for.
Thank you to my beautiful wife, Nicole, for supporting me during this adventure. You are my backbone and without you none of this would be possible. To my cousin Liz who has been there from day one on the site and FB page, has donated materials and who has been patient in waiting for a promised painting that I have yet to make (I didn't forget). To K-Lee who has shared this with so many friends and been there to give the not so obvious comments. To Mark Bodley for pumping up my ego with his four page texts and hour long phone conversations that are filled with ideas and dreams. To the Enfield Square for letting me use the center of the mall to put on a one day show for people to see and for donating a boatload of paint to the project. To my work peeps for letting me "steal" materials and helping with the site. To everyone on FB who were my PR team, hit the LIKE button, hit the SHARE button and that have kept coming back to see more. To my parents for putting in the time way back in the day to create me, I love you both. To my unborn child, you are the inspiration that will carry me to see this project to the end. You are now a part of this and you don't even know it. You are a masterpiece in the works and will be more than this project will ever be. I thought this project and my work would be my legacy left to this planet, but you will be the best creation I will ever be a part of, will ever see and will ever love.
PSSST. That's not a birdhouse!

Bias, Diversity, Written articles / August 31, 2017
Do you sense bias? Here's the research on face preconceptions.
By Patricia Bouweraerts, Editor
It's an indescribable bias — hard to pin down — that after a staff member works well with colleagues and achieves goals, there is still a sense of underlying inequality when the staffer's competence is judged in comparison to his or her fellow teammates.
Ethnic and gender preconceptions are already widely reported — individuals must grapple with these. And yet in work environments where hiring practices are otherwise non-discriminatory, the occupational playing field is not level somehow. Additional unconscious prejudgments can happen at all levels in organizations.
For instance, CEOs are far more likely to have specific facial features. Restaurant servers with a certain hair color have been shown to earn more in tips when all other factors have been accounted for. In LinkedIn profiles, men with beards and women with glasses are thought to have more expertise.
Scientists have found several additional unconscious biases that laws simply don't address. Some have even called partiality based on size and shape of facial features "face-ism."
Bias based on face shape
A study co-authored by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Princeton was published by Cell Press on October 21 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. Results showed a correlation between facial features and attributed qualities such as competence, dominance, friendliness, and trustworthiness.
Victoria Woollaston wrote about this study in the science and tech pages of the Daily Mail.
Participants rated images of faces with larger foreheads and prominent noses as more competent, and round faces with large eyes and a small nose and chin as less competent, Woollaston wrote. Faces with wide eyes, small noses and high eyebrows were judged as passive, while those with distinct jawbones were considered dominant. Introverts were perceived by longer faces and smaller eyes, while preconceived extroverts possessed oval faces with plump cheeks.
Those in the study judged faces with close-set eyes and furrowed brows as untrustworthy, and those with prominent cheekbones, high eyebrows and smiling expressions as honest.
"While 'babyface' features, characterized by a round face, large eyes and a small nose and chin are generally seen as a sign of incompetence," Woollaston wrote. "The reverse is true for strong, mature faces. Company chief executives who looked competent had a better chance of being hired by large successful companies, even when they performed no better than less competent-looking rivals, said the researchers."
The stereotype of an intelligent face is that it is narrow.
"In both sexes, a narrower face with a thinner chin and a larger prolonged nose characterizes the predicted stereotype of high-intelligence, while a rather oval and broader face with a massive chin and a smallish nose characterizes the prediction of low-intelligence," wrote Kleisner, Flegr, and Veronika Chvátalová in a 2014 study posted on PLOS.org.
Also revealed was a correlation between perceptions of intelligence in a face and emotions, such as happiness and anger.
"The 'high intelligence' faces appear to be smiling more than the 'low intelligence' faces," the scientists wrote.
Intelligent-looking faces were also considered more trustworthy and happy.
"Moreover, perceived intelligence was also shown to be positively associated with perceived friendliness and sense of humor in both male and female faces but negatively related with perceived dominance in faces of women," they wrote.
Bias by eye color
Contact lens maker CIBA Vision contracted CyberPulse, a division of Impulse Research Corporation in Los Angeles to conduct a survey about people's perceptions of personality characteristics associated with various eye colors.
"The survey questioned 1,016 women ages 16 to 35," wrote Rupali Chandola on Researchgate.net. "The results found that women often associate different eye colors with specific personality traits the study found that 34% of participants considered people with brown eyes intelligent, kind, and trustworthy. In contrast, people with blue eyes were considered kind, sweet, and sexy, but only 7% of participants described blue-eyes people as intelligent. Finally, 29% of research participants said they considered green eyes, the sexiest of all the different colors, and their owners to be creative, sexy and a bit devious."
In a study by researchers in the Department of Experimental and Applied Psychology, University of Regensburg, Germany, the perception of attractiveness associated with blue eyes was measured. Also, participants rated attractiveness of eyes by the size of the pupil and whiteness in the area surrounding it.
Eye color did not have an effect on how attractive the participants rated the image of a face.
"However, the participants mentioned the color blue more often as a positive aspect than other iridal colors," wrote Martin Gründl, Sebastian Knoll, Marita Eisenmann-Klein, and Lukas Prantl in the study's abstract.
Further, the participants rated eyes with larger pupils and brighter white surrounding the pupil as a younger and more attractive eye.
Bias according to beauty
First of all, scientists have found no correlation between attractiveness and intelligence. Instead, they have found an association between attractive faces and how intelligent they are prejudged by others.
"Perceived intelligence positively correlated with attractiveness in both men and women," wrote Karel Kleisner, Veronika Chvátalová, and Jaroslav Flegr on PLoS One.
They remarked that there is no real basis for this prejudgment.
"Similarly, other studies have reported close to zero correlation between attractiveness and actual intelligence in adults," Kleisner, Chvátalová, and Flegr wrote.
But the preconception does exist.
"It has long been known that symmetrical faces are considered more comely, and that people assume that handsome folks are intelligent and good," wrote Catherine Saint Louis in an article in The New York Times.
Bias of hair color
"Startling new psychological research challenges previous thinking that hair color is merely about personal preference," wrote Raj Persaud, M.D. and Adrian Furnham, Ph.D., in an article on PsychologyToday.com. "Instead, a massive consensus appears to exist on which hair color is preferred, revealing such severe prejudice associated with the tint of your locks, that the preference could border on racial discrimination."
They wrote that one study found blonde female servers received more tips than those with brown hair, and in another study men rated images of brunettes as the most intelligent women, but also the most arrogant.
Red-haired people, both male and female, have been shown to be more respected in business than other shades of tresses. Researchers at the University of Tennessee and Dalton State College analyzed the hair color of 500 top London Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) Chief Executive Officers.
"Redheads, while normally a minute number in the U.K. population, were over-selected to run some of the most successful companies," wrote Persaud and Furnham about the study by Margaret Takeda, Marilyn Helms and Natalia Romanova. "Stereotypically this would be expected, the authors of this study entitled 'Hair color stereotyping and CEO selection in the United Kingdom,' argue that redheads are perceived to be competent, though not especially congenial."
Also, only two of the 500 CEOS were female, revealing possible additional bias by gender.
Facial hair bias
Females with facial hair face a strong prejudgment.
"A slight majority of U.S. adults, 53 percent, would say 'no' when asked if they were likely or unlikely to hire a woman for a public role who had hair on her face," wrote data journalist Isabel von Kessel on Statista.com. "This is the result of a YouGov survey of 2,159 adults at the end of June 2017."
Men with facial hair, however, are thought of as masculine and competent, wrote Christian Jarrett, for the BPS Research Digest, posted on Digest.bps.org.uk.
Jarrett wrote that in a 2014 paper by scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, bearded men were seen as more trustworthy.
"Similarly, another study, from 1990, involved participants looking at ink sketches of job applicants — those with beards were seen as more competent (as well as more attractive)," he wrote. "And this study of LinkedIn profile pictures found that bearded men were considered to have more expertise (by the way, the same researchers found that spectacles (glasses) had the same image-enhancing benefit for women)."
Conversely, he wrote that bearded men have also been judged as more likely to have committed a crime when pictures were shown to study participants. So, there is a difference based on context.
"Seeing that your male doctor is bearded might make him seem more experienced and expert, for instance, but seeing that a criminal suspect is bearded might make him seem more aggressive and threatening," Jarrett wrote.
Also, surprisingly, participants in another research project judged that images of male front desk hotel workers were less assuring and competent than a clean-shaven clerk, he added.
Some physical factors can be controlled to a greater degree
"People who make more eye contact are perceived as more intelligent," wrote Jarrett in another aticle on Digest.bps.org.uk.
He added that people who speak somewhat faster are thought to be more competent, while those who use "um" and "ah" quite a bit are judged not as knowledgeable.
"Research in 2012 involved observers rating pictures of men and women who were depicted with various numbers of facial piercings," Jarrett wrote. "As the number of piercings went up, the ratings of intelligence went down. On the other hand, a 2008 study found that a woman was judged to be more artistic and creative when she was shown with more piercings."
Participants in one study associated baldness with height and brawn.
"When researchers at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, photoshopped pictures of men, so that they appeared to have shaved heads, the men were judged to be 'more dominant, taller, and stronger than their authentic selves,'" he added.
Hair style can convey a message
Chris Serico of TODAY.com interviewed several experts on how different hair styles express personality traits or perceived capability to others in the workplace.
"The hair pros TODAY.com spoke to agreed that generally speaking, people with curly hair aren't taken as seriously as their straight-haired counterparts," he wrote.
A social psychologist and three hair stylists were interviewed for Elle.com in the article, "Is Your Hair Holding You Back?"
Curly hair is seen by some as friendly and fairly brave — that the employee might be willing to go out on a limb for their company, wrote Emily Hebert on Elle.com. The experts recommended making sure curly hair is styled, not frizzy, under control, and perhaps worn in shorter styles.
Shorter hair is perceived as confident, powerful, and professional while long hair is more casual — even while it is attractive and youthful, Serico wrote. At one large corporation, of all the women at the top of the organizational chart, none had hair that reached the shoulders.
Bold hair colors such as super-blonde can send the message that a person is creative — dramatic hues, and blunt cut bangs, may work for artsy people in highly creative fields, Hebert wrote. Side-swept bangs are more associated with office settings.
Further, brother and sister John and Catherine Walter, conducted a study in 1999 entitled "Hair Part Theory."
"In matching the hair parts of U.S. congressmen, state governors, and presidents against key success factors, the Walters found that a left part draws unconscious attention to activities controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain — i.e., logic, problem-solving, linear thinking, etc. — and that politicians with left parts historically fare better," Hebert wrote.
She added that a right part draws more attention to right-brained strengths such as artistic expression, musical skills and nonlinear thinking.
Females who wear makeup are judged as more competent
Light makeup has been shown to improve the respect and trust shown to women by co-workers.
"It increases people's perceptions of a woman's likability, her competence and (provided she does not overdo it) her trustworthiness, according to a new study, which also confirmed what is obvious: that cosmetics boost a woman's attractiveness," wrote Catherine Saint Louis in a 2011 New York Times article.
The study was commissioned by Procter & Gamble, and researchers conducting the study were comprised of a diverse team; Nancy L. Etcoff and Lauren E. Haley (Harvard University), Shannon Stock (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), Sarah A. Vickery (Procter & Gamble Cosmetics), and David M. House (Boston University).
"The participants judged women made up in varying intensities of luminance contrast (fancy words for how much eyes and lips stand out compared with skin) as more competent than barefaced women, whether they had a quick glance or a longer inspection," Saint Louis wrote.
With a longer time to evaluate the images, participants rated the trustworthiness of the more dramatically made up women as less trustworthy.
"Length of inspection time did not change the effect for competence or attractiveness," wrote the study's authors on Journals.Plos.org. "However, with longer inspection time, the effect of cosmetics on likability and trust varied by specific makeup looks, indicating that cosmetics could impact automatic and deliberative judgments differently."
Facial expression may override perceptions based on features
If you have natural physical features that are perceived as dominant, unattractive or untrustworthy, expressions such as smiling may positively impact others' perceptions when meeting you, according to scientists at the University of Glasglow, Scotland.
Their research found that activating muscle groups such as the "inner and outer brow raiser," and "lip corner and cheek raiser" affect pre-assessments of trustworthiness. They added that facial expressions affected study participants' judgments of another's trustworthiness and dominance, but the expressions did not have as great an effect on perceived attractiveness.
The above 2014 study was conducted by Daniel Gill, Philippe Schyns, Oliver Garrod and Rachael Jack, and was published in Psychological Science, according to Journals.Sagepub.com.
Researchers in England and Australia also found that an expression can affect prejudged characteristics, this time including attractiveness.
"In a 2017 article in the British Journal of Psychology, researchers Clare A. Sutherland (University of Western Australia), Andrew W. Young (University of York), and APS Fellow Gillian Rhodes (University of Western Australia) focused on two specific sources of within-person variability in facial impressions: emotional expression and viewpoint," according to PsychologicalScience.org.
They studied both the effects of different facial expressions, and of viewing these expressions from the front and side.
"For example, happy faces were thought to be more trustworthy, and angry and disgusted faces less trustworthy, when a person was viewing a forward-looking face compared with a three-quarter-profile or a full-profile face," according to PsychologicalScience.org."
Forward-looking angry faces were seen as more dominant. Happy faces observed straight ahead were judged as more attractive, and disgusted faces less attractive.
The predisposition toward judging a happy face as trustworthy and attractive is an unexpected bias that may somewhat level the playing field, as this is an element for which most working people can exercise an amount of control, at no cost, and with practice.
Happy, the new capability.

23.09.2015, Brussels; The Executive Board of the European Hockey Federation enjoyed meeting for the fourth time in 2015 over the weekend, in Brussels, with a full agenda of activity covered.
The President opened the meeting with a welcome and an overview of the various meetings and events which took place in London – Executive Board Meeting, General Assembly, EuroHockey Championships, ParaHockey tournament, Masters Tournaments and the variety of awards presented.
She wished to thank England Hockey for their excellent organisation and a successful tournament.
Development Projects Committee updated the Board on the various events which had taken place over the summer, and in particular the successful running of the ParaHockey tournament in London. It was noted that the Committee hope to further expand this tournament for the event which will be held in 2017 in Amsterdam.
Education Committee's three Working Groups: Officials, Coaches and Umpires updated the Board on the activities which took place over the previous months, in particular the event in Breda which involved all 3 groups (Coaches 4 Europe, Umpires 4 Europe and Officials), as well as the Umpire Seminar and UDP group both of which met in London during the EuroHockey Championships and the FIH Officials Trainer course.
It was noted that the priority for the Development and Education Committees for the next period is continued work with the KNHB for the Sharing Knowledge programme 2016-2017. This will cover ParaHockey, Youth Leadership, Twinning and E-Learning as outlined at the General Assembly.
Competitions Committee – Outdoor. The Committee presented proposed venues for the EuroHockey Youth U18 Championships 2016 & the EuroHockey Youth U16 Hockey5 Future Heroes Cup 2016 all of which were approved.
Details will be provided in a separate Competition bulletin.
The Committee also reported on agreed venues for EuroHockey Club tournaments 2016 – again details will be provided in a separate Competition bulletin.
Also discussed were new Anti-doping proposals by the FIH, an update from the Working Group assigned to review the format of the EuroHockey Championships, and an issue regarding a clash of dates with the EuroHockey Junior Championship tournaments 2017 and FIH events.
With regard to the U16 events – NAs have been informed that by not participating in the 2016 tournaments they will be unable to take part in the qualifying tournaments in 2017 for the following Youth Olympic Games. They will however be permitted to enter the 2017 tournaments, but must start at the lowest level.
-not at the same dates as Hockey5 events, so not between 1-14 July.
-EHF suggests they all bring a youth umpire.
-EHF endorses the match schedule.
The Board were presented with an update on preparations for the EuroHockey Indoor tournaments 2016 (Nations & Clubs).
The Committee recommended that due to the start of indoor in Europe in Oct/Nov 2015 , EHF would sanction Invitational European tournaments to play 6/6. This was approved by the Executive Board.
Euro Hockey League – an update on the planning for the 2015/2016 season of the Euro Hockey League was received.
The FIH has requested that all major Continental (club) events be played using the new format of 4 x 15 minutes, with a time stoppage of 40 seconds for penalty corners and goals in the same format. The Executive Board approved this request, therefore the 2015-2016 EHL Season will consist of 4 periods of 15 minutes and time will be stopped for 40 seconds when a penalty corner is awarded and when a goal is scored.
The President outlined the procedure for nominations and appointments of committee members for the upcoming period (2016/2017) noting that Member Associations have already been invited to nominate people with a deadline of 31st October. New Committees will be approved by the Executive Board at its next meeting in December and announced shortly after that.
Communications – a report was received from the Communications Committee paying particular attention to the Social Media Explosion. The Board were given some figures with regard to Twitter impressions, YouTube video views etc over the Outdoor Nations season, and noted the particular success of the instant highlights (Snappy TV/Twitter Amplify). The YouTube channel and Twitter Amplify was made possible through the FIH and the impact was clear to see.
The Board was presented with an update on the plans and budget to deliver more content, through YouTube and Twitter, in collaboration with the FIH. The Board recognised how quickly technology is developing and were enthusiastic with the approach which will raise the awareness of our sport across our Member Nations and beyond.
The Board received a brief report on the successful running of the EuroHockey Championships in London, with a full report to follow at the December meeting.
It was reported that the license agreement for the EHC 2017 was signed in London during the Championships, and following a review of EHC 2015 an Event Manual for 2017 would be produced and agreed.
Appointments Committee – A report was received from the Appointments Committee Chair, Ray O'Connor which included details of withdrawals & rejections of appointments over the most recent season. Ray noted that whilst the Appointments Committee worked hard to create the most suitable team of umpires and officials for tournaments this was not always possible after a high level of withdrawals from the original group.
He reported that there was a good working link with the Education Committee with regard to officials and umpires development, however he asked that Member Associations be encouraged to continue to support their umpires and officials following the various Education events to enable the development of their career.


Little and I had a doctor visit yesterday and everything is looking good. Doc says my blood pressure, weight, etc are good; the results from my glucose screening and hematocrit (blood iron test) were right on target as well. Little's heart beat sounded nice and strong and her heart rate was right where it should be. When he measured my uterus it was measuring right at 28-29 weeks, so it appears that she is growing like she should. She is definitely active these days!
M and I went to our "From Pregnancy to Parenthood in One Day" class at the hospital on Saturday. It was quite informative (in some areas, borderline too much information) and provided us with more insight with which to make some labor and delivery decisions. Overall, I think we both learned a lot even though it was a very long day (8 hours in class), and M wasn't real interested in the breastfeeding section.
As of right now, we are all set to close on the house this Friday! We won't actually move until after vacation (which I am very much looking forward to…only 10 more days!!), but hopefully we can get some painting done before the furniture and appliances get there. It will be nice to be home owners, once again, and put behind us (for now at least) the days of apartment dwelling.
More pictures are coming soon. M is working on the belly pictures album again, but hopefully we will have it updated before too long. We will probably add some pics of the house as we get into it and start getting things accomplished.
For all of you who will be at the shower this weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing you! For those of you who won't make it, you will be missed!
Thanks, as always, for your love and prayers!

One of the best values in golf, the Bazooka 260 box set features a lifetime warranty and game-enhancing technology for lower scores. The set includes a 460cc titanium matrix driver with a high moment of inertia (MOI) which reduces club head twisting for greater forgiveness and longer, more consistent shots. The oversized 3-wood is easily hit off the deck and produces accurate, high-flying shots because of its low center of gravity.
For awesome approach shots, the forgiving #4 hybrid boasts a low center of gravity and makes hitting the green and making par easier. The oversized, stainless steel irons feature an undercut cavity for more forgiveness and a larger sweet spot. Finally, the high MOI heel-toe weighted putter with an easy to use alignment aid delivers more accurate putts.
The set comes with headcovers for the driver, 3-wood, hybrid, and putter and a lightweight dual strap stand bag with fast action stand.


When someone's looking for a career coach, I always encourage that person to do his or her homework and shop around. Coaching is an investment of time, money, and effort. As is the case when starting any new business relationship, doing your due diligence up front is a critical and necessary step to creating the most fruitful partnership possible, one that works hard for you and ultimately allows you to achieve the results you desire.
I'd recommend you consider at least the following 5 factors to find a coach who can help you make the greatest strides forward in your career. I've created this list based on those clients of mine who seem to get the most out of our coaching relationship and my own experiences as a client when hiring a coach. I've also included a few questions you can ask your candidate coach.
Although I've entitled this article with the word "coaching," you will need to make a decision about where you want to operate as a client along the spectrum between directive "consulting" and more open-ended "coaching." At its core, and according to the purist definition of coaching put out by the International Coach Federation (ICF), not to mention the ICF Code of Ethics, coaches are supposed to operate within a non-agenda driven, question centric process to help people discover their own solutions. Consultants on the other hand, are paid to come up with solutions, to offer expertise with concrete, content-based direction. As a client, you have a decision to make about the type of professional guidance you're seeking. Different "coaches" operate along different points on this spectrum. Think about whether you're seeking practical, expert-based guidance and/or more open-ended discovery. Then, pick your coach/consultant accordingly.
Do you operate more as a coach, consultant, or both?
If you supplement your coaching with consulting, in what areas do your clients seek your concrete advice and direction?
Are you more practical & concrete or idealistic & abstract in your approach?
For a long time, I went back and forth on the usefulness of professional qualifications in the coaching industry, especially since there seem to be so many variations of credentials out there and a proliferation of certificates and "accreditation" processes. However, in a field that's not as tightly regulated as other professional, skill-based sectors like finance, medicine, and law, working with a professional credentialed coach provides you with a quality standard, stamp of approval, and assurance that the individual who claims to be coaching you has actually gone through a legitimate, professional training to bring you best-in-class, well-informed coaching that goes beyond what other mentors in your life can provide. I'd strongly recommend you try to work with a coach that has a professional certification from the International Coach Federation or through one their Accredited Coach Training Programs. Common credentials include ACC (Associate Certified Coach), PCC (Professional Certified Coach), or CPCC (Co-Active Professional Certified Coach) awarded by the Coaches Training Institute, the oldest and largest ICF accredited coach training program in the world.
Has this coach completed a professional coach training?
Is the school where this coach completed training an Accredited Coach Training Program?
What professional coaching certification does this coach hold?
When you work with the right coach, you should feel pushed, challenged, and extended beyond your status quo. You should not feel like you're having a "normal" conversation like one you might have with your friends or family members. The whole point of coaching is to help you reach beyond your comfort zone, and this happens when you're working with a coach who explores the topics you're stuck on in a fresh manner, coming at it from a totally different perspective.
Is this coach candid with me?
Can this coach provide me with a fresh perspective?
Does this coach have the confidence to challenge me?
Trust is central to any coaching relationship. In order to get the most out of it, you need to be 100% confident in the coach's acumen and capability. After all, you're entrusting this individual with very personal information, and you'll likely be working through exercises and discussions that should push you beyond your comfort zone with the intention of enabling major transformation in your life. Many coaches began their careers outside of the coaching industry, and their professional & personal backgrounds will certainly have either an indirect or direct impact on their approach to coaching, their worldview, and their perspectives they bring to the coaching.
You get to define what "relevant" means to you. For example, working with a coach who has had a parallel experience to yours allows the discussion to reach a very deep level due to the rich empathy and insight that only comes through that direct experience and understanding. However, working with someone who has a completely different set of experiences may be most relevant to you because you're in need of a new way of approaching your issue. Whatever you decide, a coach's professional & personal background is something you should consider.
Does this coach have a background and story I fully respect?
Is this coach's background relevant to the issue I'm wrestling with?
Does this coach's professional experiences enable the lens I'm seeking?
Coaching is all about being able to explore ideas together, and the strength of the coaching is directly related to the strength of your relationship and trust in that relationship. With this in mind, one of the most important criterion when selecting a coach is finding someone with whom you feel a strong, positive rapport. While this may seem obvious, it's one of those softer considerations that can often be overlooked as something less concrete and therefore less important. I'd strongly encourage you to find a coach with whom you feel comfortable, with whom you "click," someone who fully allows you to be yourself.
Does this coach "get" where I'm coming from?
Does this coach have the capacity to effectively empathise with my situation?
Do I feel a positive, productive connection with this coach?
While other factors also exist to select the best coach for you, I see these five as being critical considerations. Most coaches offer free consultations prior to kicking off paid sessions to ensure the fit is solid. This consultation is the perfect time for you to probe a bit on these topics to ensure you're making the right choice for your career, your life, and your goals. You should also ask to see their testimonials (mine are here), or you can even request to speak with one of their former clients, which some prospective clients have requested from me.
When you work with the right coach, you should feel pushed, challenged, and extended beyond your status quo.
If you have any further questions about coaching, feel free to contact me or learn more about my Career Consulting services.
I'd welcome your feedback and additional ideas on what factors you feel matter the most when establishing a coach/client relationship. Good luck.


See comment to Tainna Tagami.
I just tried this and all it did was give me foggy bathwater. Any ideas?
All over the Internet people keep posting practically the same recipe, and getting the same response, because most people's water has enough "hardness" in it that only a huge amount of soap (meaning actual soap soap) will get a tubful of it sudsy. If when you take a bath using real soap in cake form the water doesn't get sudsy but instead scummy when you rinse the lather off yourself, it's going to be that way if you add the soap in liquid form at the beginning of the bath too. Put some of your faucet water in a jar, leaving enough air space, and add soap (such as liquid castile) a little at a time with shaking until the jar gets sudsy. Now multiply the amount of soap you needed by the number of jarsful of water you'd need to fill the bathtub, and that's the amount of soap you'd need for a bubble bath. And even if you succeed, you're going to have a very soapy bath.
It doesn't work that way with the usual bubble bath ingredients.
can you use jojoba oil or avocado oil in place of Vegetable Glycerine?
Olive oil or jojoba oil work great but it'll be less bubbly than if you were using vegetable glycerin.
Where did you get the bottle it's in!? I love this!
Looking forward to trying your recipes. Woo-Hoo! !
Wow, how simple! My kids love bubble bath but even the "safer" versions have questionable ingredients. I'm going to give this a shot!

Jay Rodriguez is a visionary artist. His voice on all his instruments is one that has led him to be in demand as a leader and sideman with wildly diverse musicians. Jay was introduced to the clarinet in grade school at age 7 . He expanded his reed studies on saxophone/flute with his best friend's brother Jesus Garcia, soon after he met Tito D'Rivera (father of Paquito) and Joe Allard.
During a road trip with then famed DR Singer Vicente Pacheco he met lead Alto Saxophonist Mark Friedman who then introduced him to Phil Woods .
At 15 he was out on the scene performing and playing around town.
He attended the renowned High School for the Performing Arts with Billy Charlap, Jon Gordon which then merged with Music and Art and is now known as La Guardia School for Music and Art and the Performing Arts where he graduated with honors.
During his last year there he met the great alto saxophonist Arnie Lawrence who recruited him as one of his new young jazz lions to bring to the New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music at it's inception.
There he studied with a who's who of jazz. Sir Roland Hanna , Walter Davis Jr, Joe Henderson, John Gilmore, Gil Goldstein, Clifford Jordan, Jimmy Heath, Joe Lovano to name few .
When asked about his childhood, Rodriguez recalls:
"My saxophone guru, Mark Friedman, tried to teach me how important it was to be a kid."
"Of course, I didn't listen, so I was playing gigs constantly. I'd be coming home at 6 o'clock in the morning, then going to school. That was my childhood .I don't regret it. Well sometimes I do.." Life informs the music and not the other way around."
