Software stocks Dell, Agora and Autodesk post mixed earnings

Software stocks are facing a challenging period, with Dell and Agora posting declining revenues and Autodesk just managing to meet analyst expectations. Dell has been hampered by a $1bn settlement payout to shareholders, and is cautioning that annual sales will be $600m below what was previously expected.

– Dell and Agora post declining revenues

– Autodesk meets expectations but lowers top-level FY earnings guidance

– Vanguard Information Technology ETF struggles year-to-date

Software stocks now [API]dell [DELL] and Autodesk Inc [ADSK] delivered a mixed picture in their earnings results, announced this week.

In the weeks running up to their earnings reports, the stocks were already struggling. Now, the Shanghai-based real-time audio and video solutions provider that powers invite-only social app Clubhouse, began a round of layoffs in October that reporters estimate could see 400 of its 900 employees cut (Now denies the number will be this high ). The company’s share price plummeted 83.5% year-to-date.

Dell also approached its third quarter earnings in need of good news, following a $1bn settlement agreement to shareholders who felt the company misled them over its acquisition of EMC in 2016. On 18 November, Citigroup analysts lowered their price target for Dell from $60 to $55. The company’s stock has fallen by 20% year-to-date.

Citigroup analysts also took aim at Autodesk’s stock, lowering their target from $277.00 to $256.00, ahead of the 3D design and engineering software provider announcing its Q3 earnings. Autodesk’s share price has dropped 25.7% year-to-date.

Software firms report falling revenues for Q3

On November 21, Dell reported non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.30, beating analyst expectations by 43.75% and representing 38.6% year-over-year growth. Revenue, however, fell 6% year-over-year to $24.7bn. Reported net income recognized the $1bn settlement payment to shareholders.

On the same day, Agora announced revenues declining 9% year-over-year to $41m. Losses per share widened 31.58% over the same period, from $0.19 to $0.25. These revenue and earnings figures missed analyst expectations by 4.2% and 19%, respectively. Now also lowered its full-year revenue forecast, from between $176m and $178m in the previous quarter to between $160m–162m.

Autodesk bucked the negative trend with a relatively positive set of results announced on 22 November. Revenue increased 13.7% to $1.3bn, in line with analyst expectations. Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share of $1.70 also matched analyst expectations, and represented a 26.9% year-over-year increase. Autodesk’s board approved a $5bn share repurchase from the company’s stock in light of the results.

Dell and Agora share prices falls following earnings

Tony Zhao, founder, chairman and CEO of Agora, said his company had “delivered robust operational results this quarter despite a very challenging global macroeconomic environment”. Still, Agora’s share price fell 20% on 22 November, following the results.

Despite its strong earnings figures, Dell’s stock fell following the announcement because of a weak sales forecast. The company expects 2022 sales to fall around $600m below analyst expectations.

Dell’s CFO Thomas Sweet attributed the downbeat forecast to “ongoing global macroeconomic factors, including slowing economic growth, inflation, rising interest rates and currency pressure” depressing Dell’s clients’ IT spending plans.

Like Sweet and Zhao, Autodesk’s CFO Debbie Clifford also referenced the challenging macroeconomic environment when assessing the results, while acknowledging the reduced full-year guidance. She said: “Fiscal 23 revenue, margin, and earnings per share guidance remains close to the previous mid-points at constant exchange rates and comfortably within our prior guidance ranges.”

Fund in focus: Vanguard Information Technology ETF

The Vanguard Information Technology ETF [VGT] has fallen 25.2% in the year-to-date, highlighting the struggles that technology stocks have encountered during the year so far. Over the past month, however, the fund gained 6.3%.

As of 31 October, VGT holds both Autodesk and Dell, with weightings of 0.49% and 0.12%, respectively. With 367 holdings, its coverage of the technology industry is very broad.

There are currently 13 ETFs holding Agora, with the largest weighting of the stock in the SPDR FactSet Innovative Technology ETF [XITK] up to 0.41%. The fund has fallen 48.6% year-to-date, but has made minor gains of 0.9% over the past month.

Analysts see the most upside for Agora, with 269% gains on the last closing price implied by the 12-month price target of $16.20 provided by one analyst reporting to the Financial Times🇧🇷 A median price target of $50.00 among 17 analysts reporting estimates for Dell implies gains of 14%, while 22 analysts reporting targets for Autodesk shares came to a median price target of $230.00, which implies 10.1% anticipated gains over the coming 12 months.

My dear Hazel..

Birmingham was the first foreign city I lived in. Big, so big for a young girl who had always lived in a small-medium town.

There have been many episodes that made me realize that I was living on the same planet but from a totally different point of view.. Those who left the house in pajamas, those who painted their faces with clown smiles and barbie eyelashes.. and the elderly people who wore hair more coloured than a rainbow.. these were some of the more “extroverted” situations that I noticed as a little grain that came from a distant beach.

I had many difficult days but also many days full of smiles.

Today, I remember those landscapes with a veil of nostalgia. Perhaps not everyone knows that the squirrel chosen as a symbol of my account was a faithful friend of mine during my stay in Birmingham.

The name I gave it was “Hazel” in honor to my passion for dried fruit. He lived in the park in front of my house, I ran in that park, we shared the same sunny days, I was delighted to see him hiding the peanuts under the ground, he first made a small hole in a strategic position and then he covered it with leaves to confuse the other gluttons of the group.

One day I took courage and I approached him with a peanut. Hazel knew that my gesture was sincere and little by little he came over to steal the peanut from my hands.. but before his paws got close to mine, I dropped the peanut to avoid the direct contact. That day we decided to become friends.

Every time I strolled through the park I carried some peanuts in my pockets, for him, for my little furry friend. One day, however, the district administration decided to redevelop the park and so soon thereafter, bulldozers, cranes and staff, began to outline a new playground and they began as well to disturb the habitat of Hazel and his friends.. since they started the works, I never saw Hazel around anymore and for many months I still kept my pockets full of peanuts.

Today, I pay homage to that sincere friendship by dedicating him my logo, follow the path Hazel, I’m sure one day we will meet again!

Will Book Sales Dry Up By The End Of The Year? - What Major Publishing Houses don't want you to know

Let us take a closer look at the possibility of book sales drying up. Will book sales dry up by the end of the year? Here’s what major publishing houses don’t want you to know.

Paying No Attention To The Issues

Today's topic has three points and you're going to want to stick around because the third point is a secret as to the best way to make sure your books don't drop in sales. So, the topic we're talking about today is Will Book Sales Dry Up By The End Of The Year? - What Major Publishing Houses don't want you to know.

So, by the end of this article, you're going to know what is the most important thing when it comes to sustained sales. That is not just these huge bumps and spikes you're going to have, the steps necessary to avoid falling into some of these little grooves on either side.

You're going to feel great knowing that you're not wasting time writing and putting books onto the market that are never going to sell or just going to sell a little bit. The thing is after having sold around 40,000 books; I began to understand some of the keys to what it is that gets books selling.

Some of my books have completely flopped and did not contribute that much to this. That's one of the reasons why I offer free Discovery sessions which you can check out if you would like to figure out better if your books are set to sell or not sell.

So, the thing is that Sarah was one of the early members of my coaching group. She was writing in a particular genre. It’s in the genre that she chose, it was political books dealing specifically with the different candidates running in the exact election.

But there was a huge problem with this, which is what happens after the election is complete. How many people are going to continue buying that book? That was a huge mistake on her part.

So, the thing is that she wasn't paying attention to these key three issues. The first thing is that some niches will never sell any books ever. That is to say, your niche can be and that's one of the things we discussed in the discovery sessions.

Check out this related article: 3 Surprising Facts About Amazon

We take a closer look at that. It can be in one of these categories for which no sales are happening on Amazon for that particular niche. Now you could be the first person to put it out but I'll tell you I have seen this so many times.

Where you have an author who's just got an idea. Like you may have a background in something and you're thinking, “If I just put it onto the market, I'm sure they will buy it. Kind of like that old film.” Remember if you build it, they will come.

But in this case, if you write it, they will not necessarily come. What are you going to do when they don't come? When the book completely flops? Sometimes I've seen authors who decide, maybe if I just change the cover, that will make the difference.

But you're writing in a niche where no sales are being made. It's a completely new market. They don't know it, there's just not a list of readers there. Often, this can be a sign that maybe you're lucky and you hit the jackpot on this market.

But I can tell you one thing: if you do manage to get lucky on your very first book, other marketers are going to be watching what happens. Then, they will completely flood your market and out-compete you at your own game.

How many books do you have to come out within non-existent markets before you realize this is not a way to win the game? So that's the first key point and a very important point. The second thing is that some niches like I was saying with Sarah, come out in fads or things for which the trends spike up.

Getting Your Books To The Magic Zone

The classic example is we go to Google Trends and we type in fidget spinner in 2017. It goes to a hundred and then back to zero. And then in 2017, it spikes, and then it completely disappears. If you had put a book on the market in 2017, you may have seen some sales off of that fidget spinner book of yours.

But the second we cross over into 2018, nobody is doing any searches on fidget spinners. They're completely irrelevant, nobody cares. So, what's the point? The point is that this is a terrible idea, choosing a fad or something that is simply popular one day or popular right now.

Is it popular next week or the week after? This could be like video games or things like that. Maybe it's really popular at this moment but everybody's going to forget about it next week. It could be a popular social network and you're writing about that.

It could be a type of fiction that suddenly somebody came up with. I even remember it just in fads in general. I remember when I was in high school, there was a fad with certain types of pants that were like these weird striped plaid pants.

There was one guy I remember in high school who went out and bought like 10 of these pairs of pants. Now, these pants were popular for about a month or two. But after that, it completely died and there he was stuck with 10 pairs of pants.

The thing is that I want you to avoid finding yourself in that situation with 10 pairs of pants or books that you've written. I even saw it, just last month one of the comments on YouTube said it was somebody who had written something like 20 or 30 books in a genre that simply will never sell.

So, they'd use an awful lot of time. They had the expertise; their covers were even pretty good. Their descriptions were fine, the author's bio was fine, and all of the things were optimized.

Check out this related article: Optimize Your Amazon Book Page

But there was no market, all the books were ranked in a million or 900,000 rankings. We're looking for the top hundred thousand, not nine hundred thousand or one hundred million. We're looking in the top hundred thousand books on all of Amazon.

Those are the magic zones we're trying to get our books into. How would you even know if there's no book selling? But that brings us to our secret point, this is the thing that publishing companies or publishing houses don't want you to know either.

It is the fact that they do not put books on every topic out on the market. Just because you may know something about something, they're not putting it on the market if they don't see there's a market.

This is true with Walmart or any other store. They're not going to sell something unless they already know it's going to sell. They're not just going to take a chance on a product if it's going to cost them a lot. So, they're not going to do it.

This is something you can see if you look at the major publishing houses. How many books on random subjects are they coming out with? It looks a lot like they're investing their money in books that are similar to books that are already selling or to authors or people who are influencers.

Even then, sometimes, these amazing influencers will put books on the market and suddenly see them completely flop. Because they are putting them into a market that simply doesn't exist.

See To It There Is An Existing Market

Even though they're influencers, they try to call their audience and influence them to purchase the book. But the audience is not interested because that type of book is simply something people aren't used to buying.

In book format that is maybe in a magazine. Maybe they like to talk about it. Maybe some other format but not in book format. This is true with many niches. Don't think for a second that if you write a book on any subject, you're going to be able to get it to sell, because you won't.

Many people have tried to do this and often this is the number one reason my clients have books that aren't selling. This is the number one reason but the secret is you can combine the publish if you're using KDSpy in particular.

We can take a close look and we can take the books that are already ranked in particular categories. We can see we're looking for those books in the top hundred thousand. Then we look at the publication date for those specific books in your niche.

We want to see if those books were published not yesterday or last month or even this year per se. We want to see, what they published last year or in the last five or ten years. Some of these books just keep on pounding out sales.

That is a fantastic sign. So, if whatever niche you're considering going into, if you can find other books that were published years ago that are ranked in the top hundred thousand, now we're on to something.

There is an existing market that tells us that if you put a book into it and you write in a specific way, it can be evergreen and continue bringing in sales for years to come. I can tell you I look at some of my books, they're on fads and some of them just died out.

Check out this related article: How To Find Success In Self Publishing

A particular diet book or this or that dies out. And other books, the evergreen books that are focusing on human problems or fantastic stories that people are going to want to read far out into the future. These books continue to make sales.

I wake up in the morning and I look at a few more sales that are coming through audiobooks, paperbacks, and hardback books. They just keep on pounding on delivering the sales because there's an audience for those books.

These books are not fads they're evergreen books. This is something you can learn from the major publishers. They clearly wouldn't want you to do this because then you would be putting books that would directly compete with them.

I can tell you a lot of things. They don't optimize when it comes to the books that they put out. Whether their titles or their covers, sometimes they're terrible and you can out-compete for even major publishing houses.

That's one of the reasons they do not want you as a self-publisher or as an author to figure this out. It's not difficult. That's one of the reasons with the just free Discovery Session, we just sit down and take a look at your niche and we're able to use KDSpy.

You don't even have to buy KDSpy. We can use my KDSpy and take a closer look at exactly what is going on with your specific book. So that is one of the most important things to keep in mind.

But one of the other things is when you're getting started with self-publishing 101, it's like knowing exactly what are the basic steps. And that's the reason why I created Self-Publishing 101 - Everything You Need To Know.

Montella: “We deserved to win with only ten men, the results will follow”

By Isak Möller -

Vincenzo Montella spoke to PremiumSport after his side’s 0-0 draw at home against Genoa.

On the match: “It’s a special moment. In these last league games, everything has happened. We gave everything today with only ten men. Even with this situation, we showed that we can be on top. We are united. With this spirit, the results will follow”

On Bonucci: “I was surprised. There is no clear picture. I’m really sorry for this, it’s testing our mentality. Leo’s foul wasn’t intentional, VAR has to be modified and improved. Bonucci has apologised to the team and he’s taken responsibility.”

About the future: “I’m the manager of Milan, which I’m happy to be. I want to congratulate the players for what they did on the field today, even with ten men we deserved to win. Today, we demonstrated that we can get out of this poor form.

“Penalty for Bonaventura in the first half? Ask Giacomelli and his VAR assistants…”

OFFICIAL: Luiz Adriano joins Spartak Moscow

By Oliver Fisher -

After 18 months in Serie A, Brazilian striker Luiz Adriano has left Milan to join Spartak Moscow.

The 29-year-old underwent his medical last week at the Villa Stuart Clinic in Rome and the Russian club announced his official arrival earlier today.

The Brazilian arrived in Milan in the summer of 2015 but failed to live up to the reputation which saw him bag 77 goals in 162 appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk.

He was close to joining Chinese club Jiangsu Suning last January but failed to agree personal terms. Now he heads to Russia in an attempt to recapture the form he showed in the Ukraine.

Education & Training

education and training

An organization’s success depends on the success of its employees. At Southeastern Med, we understand that employees are more likely to succeed when they’re equipped with the resources to do so. From the beginning interview, employees are provided with information about the history and current standing of our Cambridge, Ohio, community hospital and health system.

Orientation and Assessment

New associates are scheduled to attend orientation and training to better understand their responsibilities as a member of our team and our health system.
New associates are introduced to their department and position at the hospital with our employee education and training program. At this time, they must complete an assessment and have their skills verified by an appropriate staff member. New associates are also assigned a preceptor to become acclimated to the general routine of their position while under the guidance of a current associate. After approximately 90 days, an evaluation is given by a department supervisor or director. Annual evaluations are then conducted for each associate, allowing an interactive discussion on performance, goals, objectives and initiatives for the coming year.

Ongoing Education

We strive to maintain only the highest level of care for our patients. Our ongoing education program is one of the ways we achieve that goal. All of our employees are required to maintain competence in their position and department through assessments and hands-on training to ensure that we can provide our patients and community with the best possible care. We provide staff members with the resources they need, including access to our computer lab and the internet, to help our facility remain modern and efficient.
We encourage continuing education with other opportunities available to our staff, including access to online education, BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP and many other courses for nursing personnel; introductory and immediate training for office programs; and access to onsite educational offerings, continuing education workshops, seminars, webinars and conferences.

Tuition Assistance and Certification

We’re committed to giving our employees opportunities to advance their careers and improve their skills. Our tuition assistance program helps eligible associates continue their education to obtain an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in an approved area. We see the completion of degree, certification or licensure courses from an accredited licensing agency as a benefit for the associate and a contribution toward the success of our facilities and the communities of Cambridge and Guernsey County.

Associates are also encouraged to obtain specialty certifications in the areas in which they work. Reimbursements and compensation are available for qualifying areas.

A California state health official is calling for a pause in the distribution of a specific batch of the Moderna vaccine after an unusual number of allergic reactions from those receiving shots.

California State Epidemiologist Dr. Erica S. Pan, formerly the public health officer for Alameda County, issued a statement late Sunday indicating that providers should temporarily halt distribution of Moderna vaccine doses in a batch marked 'Lot 041L20A'. As KTVU reports, the pause is being recommended "out of an extreme abundance of caution."

"A higher-than-usual number of possible allergic reactions were reported with a specific lot of Moderna vaccine administered at one community vaccination clinic. Fewer than 10 individuals required medical attention over the span of 24 hours," Dr. Pan said in the statement.

As the Chronicle reports, the allergic reactions were found at the mass-vaccination site at San Diego's Petco Park. A total of six healthcare workers receiving vaccinations had the reactions, as the LA Times is reporting.

Reportedly, over 330,000 doses from this lot have been distributed to 287 providers across California, and they arrived between January 5 and January 12.

Pan said, "The manufacturer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are reviewing the lot and related medical information."

The pause comes amid widespread fear and suspicion about the new vaccines and their possible side effects. As the LA Times reports, some of this fear is clustered in rural parts of California, where first responders are in some cases reluctant to receive vaccine doses being offered.

Add to that the story of 23 frail and elderly patients in Norway who died after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, pointing to the possibility that adverse reactions to the vaccine can be more serious for those in frail condition.

Reyna Rupani

Reyna Rupani has always preferred to stay away from medicines…and whenever she would look at elder people going for check-ups and taking pills, she would dread old age! Little did she realize at that time that she could actually take her health into her own hands!

A small listing in a newspaper changed Reyna’s life. SHARAN was screening a health-based film followed by a healthy lunch. She decided to go as she was suffering from acidity and had been advised to take pills. SHARAN’s event was a revelation! The food was extremely delicious. Within three days of just eating right, her acidity disappeared! She started her journey (cheating only once in a while), reading up and attending seminars, cooking classes, and within a year, she had lost 17 kilos! She became full of energy and also started looking younger, so much so that people actually thought that her 17 year old daughter and she were sisters!

As she got deeper, she realized that all that Dr Nandita does, is not only for health but it is for the animals and the environment too. She is totally inspired by the goodness of the whole plant based diet and can’t help but share with all now. She says she is doing this to speak for those who can’t speak….for Berry (her ex-pet bunny) and all his friends on this planet.

Today she heads SHARAN Mumbai and conducts different sessions like Six Weeks to Health & Weight loss programs, The Whole Plant Based Basics Cooking class, Health talks, Kids classes….whatever helps in spreading awareness and increasing compassion in the world.

Ever since they were young, Pran and Pat's fathers' had a deep and raging rivalry — trying to one-up each other on everything. This also extended towards their sons. Comparing their sons' achievements and merits, whether it be academic or extracurricular — the two fathers left no stones unturned to outshine and gloat in front of the other.

It was almost like rivalry was passed down as a family heirloom and the two boys became rivals as well. Until... they grew tired and became friends. Really good friends.

However, because of their fathers' rivalry, their friendship had to be kept under wraps. And so began a journey of secret friendship... and then perhaps a sweet secret romance?

From My Left Hand To You

Tuesday night I was sitting at my desk upstairs when I heard my youngest scream downstairs in the den. Dads instinctively know the difference between a he’s-not-sharing-with-me scream, an I-merely-stubbed-my-toe-but-am-going-for-the-Oscar scream and the dreaded I-was-just-tossed-into-a-hard-piece-of-furniture-by-my-big-brother scream. What I heard was the latter variety.

Gresham (eight) had hoisted Penelope (five) in the air on the soles of his feet. She giggled there suspended and happy for a second or two and then he made her fly…into the open door of an armoire head first.

“Like Superman,” he later said.

“Except she’s not made of steel,” I later reminded him.

I did what dads do. I overreacted.

I sprinted from my desk and as I bolted through the doorway I snagged my right hand on the open door’s knob. By “snag” I mean I punched it very hard.

And immediately felt like I was gonna hurl. I sat down on the steps as Becky walked calmly past me to put ice on Penelope’s knot.

The emergency room guy said my ring and pinky fingers weren’t supposed to sit lower on my hand than the others. Huh. You sure?

X-rays confirmed it: I broke my hand longways between my ring and middle fingers.

A large man who looked like Q-Tip finished off my visit to the ER and made me cuss. But I whisper cussed because a sin you can barely hear isn’t really a sin in some denominations.

Q-Tip splinted my hand temporarily, gave me a prescription for my new best friend Mr. Lortab and sent me home for Thanksgiving.

For the last week I’ve just been sitting around twiddling my thumb while my wife and in-laws prepare for the arrival of our Savior by standing on ladders in the freezing drizzle to affix lights to the gutters of our house…because Jesus, the Light of the World, descended into the gutters of mortality and sin and freezing drizzle two thousand years ago. Or something like that.

It’s been awful for me. Just watching others work so hard like this. Sitting idly by while others haul boxes of decorations from the attic. Or assemble a tree in my den. It’s been torture. For me.

Oh, right hand! How I loathe thee, robber o’ Christmas joy!

Tomorrow (Tuesday) I finally get to see a doctor – a hand guy – and he’ll let me know if I need surgery or just a cast. Either way I’ll miss out on taking down the lights and the tree and putting those boxes back in the attic. And, either way, I won’t be making music or typing with both hands for a while.

By the way, I’m irritated at those of you who thought it was a good idea to tell me the worst I-know-a-guy-who-broke-his-hand-and-was-never-the-same-again stories via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter over the last week. Interweb friend, your spiritual gift is not affirmation. Zip it, Eor.

Of course this could just be Mr. Lortab talking through me. Love that guy.

What is the difference between libel and slander in Oklahoma?

Education For Democratic Living
Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there is a substantial difference between libel and slander under Oklahoma law.

Do you know what the difference is? You need to. Read on to find out if you are right.

Libel is the written word. Letters, newspapers, blogs, Facebook and the like are tools than can be used to libel someone.

Slander is the spoken word. The gossip you share about your church, your employer or your rival for affection from the opposite sex are all means through which someone could be slandered.

Both libel and slander are sometimes referred to as “defamation.”

Check back here tomorrow for the explanation of what it takes to defame someone.

Posted by Shawn Roberts

On this blog, I write about and try to answer practical Oklahoma legal questions. My focus and most experience is in estate planning and business issues including Oklahoma non-compete law. I make a living as an attorney in the law firm I founded, Shawn J. Roberts, P.C. in Oklahoma City. I live in Edmond with my wife Amy and my two children, Sam (19) and David (11). We live precisely in the path of where the "wind comes sweeping down the plains."

Marathon training-Week 5 completed, week 6 done but not completed, week 7 started

The 11 miles on Saturday was the long run from week 5 that I could not do then, due to the snow.

Sunday I did 5 miles with the 3 miles in the middle at a fast pace. Was amazed to manage this with an average pace of 9:24.  (considering the previous days run). Legs felt surprisingly fine until after dinner when they just turned to jelly. I blame the yummy Turkey Pesto Lasagna and even yummier Mars Bar Apple Crumble that I made for dinner!

This morning I dropped madam with her Godmother (left them making Pasta) and ceased the opportunity to start week 7 training plan. Was a choice between a 6 mile or 3 mile run and am glad I decided on the smaller distance for two reasons 1)on the route I decided to take the paths were treacherous-still 2)the legs had had enough.

Tomorrow will be a rest day!

About shazruns

I have been running since 2004 when I decided to do the Race for Life, as a close friend was terminally ill with cancer. Following that I did a couple of 10km at Leeds castle and Sandringham. Then in 2005 ran my first London marathon, then another in 2007 in blistering temperatures. I have entered the London marathon every year since but have been rejected, am now find maintaining my fitness & motivation hard, so when the email came through about Janathon I thought why not! Am hoping this helps with fitness, motivation and weight loss!! Wish me luck!

Biohazard Cleanup & Forensic Crime Scene Cleanup

We will take care of all your biohazard cleanup needs. From full decontamination and sanitization to the removal and disposal of contaminated materials, we’re on hand to help you out.

We offer emergency biohazard cleanup services to homes, schools, workplaces, and public areas in California.

We have the most qualified people and the latest technology to ensure your property is returned to its previous state. We also have a containment system that ensures that none of the hazardous chemicals leave your property.

Exposure to biological and chemical contaminants can pose serious health consequences. We are trained to safely remove hazardous substances and dispose of them properly in accordance with OSHA and health regulations. We follow approved EPA procedures.

We can assist you with:

  • Sewage cleanup
  • Crime scene cleanup
  • Vandalism cleanup
  • Animal and vermin waste
  • Unattended deaths or suicides

Safety is our number one priority. We utilize industry-leading safety protocols to protect you, your family members, and your employees from hazardous materials.

Biohazard Cleanup

Biohazard cleanup is the process of sanitizing, deodorizing, and cleaning an area where a traumatic event has occurred. Biohazard material can consist of human or animal biological residues.

When is it Necessary?

Biohazard cleanup can be necessary in a variety of situations. If there is an unattended death, a biohazard cleanup team can safely and respectfully clean and sanitize the area where an event occurred. They can also clean and sanitize any affected areas to remove residues or possible contaminants. A biohazard cleanup team can restore a home or business to a usable and inhabitable condition, helping the surviving victims of a trauma move on towards eventual peace and closure.

Biological Material

When there is a situation involving biological material, a biohazard cleanup company works with empathy and efficiency to sanitize the area where trauma took place. Any affected areas are cleaned of potential bloodborne pathogens and biological contaminants.

In the case of an unattended death, suicide, or traumatic passing, your biohazard cleanup company can make sure that your property is safe and prepped for proper repair and restoration.

Animal Waste

If you have a crawl space in your home or an attic where there is vermin or animal waste or residue, a biohazard cleanup team can sanitize the area, removing waste and contaminants. This can help a home or business to be better fit for habitation. It also reduces the level of airborne contaminants that can trigger respiratory issues like allergic reactions and asthma.

Along with potentially triggering respiratory reactions, animal waste can carry disease contagions such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, rat mites, and more. A biohazard team can clean your home of these contagions, making your space safer and more usable.

When a sewage system goes haywire, it’s not just a plumbing issue. In many cases, this can be a job for a biohazard cleanup team. If sewage backs up into a home or business, the result is not just unseemly and unpleasant. In fact, a sewage backup can result in biohazard contamination of your home or business and can introduce harmful bacteria and microorganisms into your space. A qualified biohazard cleanup company can remove potentially hazardous bacteria, contaminants, and moisture and get your home or property disinfected and deodorized.

Forensic Crime Scene & Vandalism

If your property has been the site of a forensic crime scene investigation, a biohazard cleanup team is equipped and experienced in cleaning bodily fluids, potential pathogens, and substances like fingerprint dust and luminol. Once the crime scene investigation has come to a close, you can leave it to your biohazard cleanup crew to help restore your property enough so that any necessary repairs or restoration can begin.

If your property has been the site of vandalism, a biohazard cleanup company can help with that, too. Vandalism can be removed and the property can be cleaned, sanitized, and deodorized so that your home or business can return to normal functioning.

Contact Us

If you are in need of a biohazard cleanup company, contact us. At Shepherd’s Disaster Home Remediation, we have the expertise and experience to handle any situation. Please contact us by phone or online. We look forward to hearing from you.

Workplace Certifications

We recently embarked on a fact-finding mission around workplace certifications.  I felt strongly that we had done an amazing job internally creating a world class work environment for our employees who are spread out over 10 states and 19 different locations, but few outside of the company were aware of that.  In today’s competitive global job market, being a well-known organization or having a famous consumer brand name is not enough to attract and retain top talent. Organizations need to build an agile and connected workplace, create amazing employee experiences, nurture feedback and dialogue, actively focus on innovation, and embed their businesses into the future.

Types of certifications

Great Place to Work

This is a certification connected to Fortune. The survey is actually conducted by their research partner, Great Place TO work.  The survey is made up of about 60 questions and an additional lengthy questionnaire needs to be completed by Human Resources.  They tell you 4 hours, but we easily spent 5-10X that. Should be fortune- ate (😊) enough to be certified, this opens up the door for you to participate throughout the year in a number of other certifications including:  Top 100 Companies, Best workplaces for Diversity, Best Workplaces for Parents, Small & Medium companies, People’s Companies that Care Best workplaces for Millennials, just to name a few.

Aon Best Employers

The program salutes the achievements made by organizations that create sustainable competitive advantage through their people. Aon Best Employers program looks into the health of your organization from the inside, using the most objective measure possible – your employees’ opinion. Backed by more than 18 years’ worth of data on employee experience, Aon Best Employers program measures and recognizes extraordinary employers. It differentiates on people factors which are the key to success: high employee engagement, profound agility, engaging leadership and maniacal talent focus. Aon looks at 4 key areas:  Engagement, Agility, Engaging Leadership, and Talent Focus. They offer both a ready to use on-line survey, as well as a tailored engagement survey that you can customize.

Glassdoor Best Places to Work

Although considered a necessary evil by many to whom I have spoken, there is no arguing that prospective employees turn to Glassdoor to see what others are saying on the inside.  Glassdoor automatically selects those employers that obtain the highest average number of stars given in the reviews by their own employees.  I am proud to say we are at a 4.6, but 1/10th lower than we needed to be to win a Best Small & Medium Places to Work for 2018.

Next time we will talk about the reasons why, both internally and externally it makes sense to participate in Work Place certifications.

Christmas Traditions

As we are bringing our Christmas in July to a close, with only a couple posts left, I thought it would be fun to share our favorite Christmas traditions. Maybe we'll find a new one we'd like to try!

Christmas brunch with Mimosas have always been a tradition in our family. My mom started them in our family when we were young. I've carried that tradition with my own kids. The nice thing about brunch is that a lot of the work can be done the night before so you can enjoy Christmas morning without so much rushing around.

Another tradition is one that the kids grandpa started when they were little. Every year, along with their presents, he would give them each a stack of lottery scratch-off tickets. He has since passed, but I have continued that tradition in his memory.

And of course there is the tradition of Christmas baking, and one cookie that always finds its way to the oven is my Grandma Ashton's Sugar Cookies. They've been a family favorite for years!

So please tell me about your traditions!

  1. Christmas traditions are so special, creating so many wonderful memories! One of our favorite Christmas traditions is baking Christmas cookies together, all different kinds of cookies. The most fun for the kids, especially when they were little, are the frosted sugar cookies... They get so creative with them!! :)

  2. Sweet picture, all curled up on the corner of the Christmas quilt!!

  3. I love Christmas! One of my traditions is to always make fresh cranberry sauce for Christmas dinner - even if I don't cook anything else I always have to make the sauce! There are lots of old Christmas ornaments from when I was little that I still have to put on the tree every year - like some little mice dressed up as Father Christmas. My mum can't believe I kept them and still use them!

  4. not too many traditions around here. My kids have to divide their time and schedules being what they are things just sort of end up in the air.

  5. In the last years, as expat, Christmas has meant rush! Very disappointing! But I remember the joy of opening the gifts and sitting together for the mythological christmas lunch my mom would cook every year, totally a treat, unforgettable!

  6. The only Christmas tradition that has survived all the changes in our lives and the lives of our adult children is this: Going to church late at night on Christmas Eve, with the church decorated in poinsettias and candles, and singing all the wonderful old Christmas carols.

  7. Christmas brunch and playing scrabble. Great to see your dog likes your work too!

  8. How cute! I love the idea of brunch with mimosas. That sounds amazing!

    My mom always made scrambled eggs with cream cheese and chives on Christmas morning. They are SO good. She scrambles the eggs with chives, and then puts all these chunks of cream cheese in with them.

  9. cute dog on a cute quilt!
    One tradition we had when my kids were growing up was to open one present the night before. It was usually new pajamas, a few times made by me!

I LOVE to read your comments!

Close up image of Ravioli Alfredo in baking dish.

Baked Ravioli Alfredo

  • Author: Sandra Flegg
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Creamy Baked Ravioli Alfredo is a simple family dinner without the fuss of boiling the ravioli. It goes straight into the oven with the zucchini, mushrooms and sauce. If you love pasta dishes then this ravioli casserole will be your favorite thing!

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 cup onions, chopped

2 cups mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, sliced

2 zucchini, sliced (7 to 9 inches long

2 tbsp. cornstarch

500g refrigerator ravioli, cheese (you can find this in the refrigerator section at the grocery store)

Juice from 1/2 lemon

1 and 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Fresh parsley

    1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic, onions and mushrooms until softened; about 5 minutes.
    2. Stir in the zucchini and cook until zucchini is cooked and softened.It will continue to cook as you make the sauce.
    3. In a small glass container, whisk together cornstarch and milk. Mixing these two ingredients together will prevent the sauce from being lumpy.
    4. Next, stir the whipping cream into the milk and stir well to combine.Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and cook until mixture is thickened and bubbly. (about 5 minutes)
    5. Taste the sauce and add salt & pepper to taste. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture and stir.
    6. Taste the sauce and add salt & pepper to taste. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the mixture and stir.
    7. Stir in the ravioli. There is no need to boil the ravioli! It will bake in the sauce as it cooks!
    8. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
    9. Bake in 400°F oven for 20 minutes.
    10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or fresh basil garnish.

    1. Variation: substitute 2 cups of spinach for the zucchini.
    2. Variation: stir in 3 to 4 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken.

This piñata appeared at the top of the pedestrian pathway leading down to the Zocalo on Monday night. It was at the Cultural Tianguis. I find that every time I see a piñata I count to make sure it has the authentic seven points (for the seven deadly sins). I also find myself wondering not only what is stuffed inside (fruit or candy) but also whether it is made of clay. I just wanted to tap on this one to see if it was a maceta (pot) or papier mache. I would know just by the sound.

It has been delightful to see all sectors of the community: markets, cafes, museums, churches, individual residences, and so on… get into the spirit of the holiday. Where a tree is the center of our decorations, the nativity is the focus in Oaxaca. While we have Santa everywhere, they have Joseph and Mary or the three kings.

Where gifts are often the centerpiece of Christmas Day or Christmas Eve — or both, gifts aren’t the focus here, and they aren’t given until January 6, Kings Day, when the gifts were gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

See the inside of the Benson Ford right in your web browser via our VIRTUAL TOUR!

The Benson Ford offers visitors the majestic atmosphere of an old-world shipping vessel with the convenience of modern amenities. Original black walnut wood and brass fittings place this luxurious vacation home into a category all its own.

Towering over the rocky cliffs of the island and jutting out into the lake, it’s a marvel to be viewed. The Benson Ford Shiphouse has been featured on MTV Extreme Cribs, Home & Garden TV’s Extreme Homes, the Travel Channel, The British Daily Mirror, Ohio Magazine, The National Enquirer, and in countless local publications. A Put-in-Bay landmark, the shiphouse alone makes a trip to the Lake Erie islands worthwhile.”

The Benson Ford Shiphouse sits upon a cliff at Put-in-Bay island in Ohio overlooking the beautiful waters of Lake Erie and the Lake Erie Islands. This unique home was once the forecastle of a cargo ship created for the Ford Motor Company in 1924. The ship was named after Henry Ford’s grandson and some rooms of the ship were personally designed by Henry Ford himself for his own use. The Ship spent over 50 years of service hauling iron ore, logs, and coal around the Great Lakes.

After being decommissioned in December of 1981, the ship was renamed The John Dykstra II so that the original name could go to another ship in the Ford ship fleet. The ship was then stripped of the engine and all salvageable parts before being sold to Frank J. Sullivan. Sullivan then had the ship towed to a dock on the Cuyahoga River where it sat untouched for nearly two years.

On July 18, 1986, Sullivan decided to have the forecastle of the John Dykstra II removed and transported by barge to South Bass Island, A.K.A Put-in-Bay. His idea was to turn the 7,000 square foot forecastle into a four-story summer home for him and his family.

In 1992, Sullivan petitioned The Put-in-Bay Township Zoning Board for the retired freighter to be converted into a bed and breakfast on the island. After a lengthy legal battle, it was determined that this vast houseboat could not be used for this purpose.

Soon after, in September of 1999, Frank J. Sullivan decided to sell the shiphouse, which was auctioned off to the current owners, Jerry, and Bryan Kasper.

This unique home is now a magnificent getaway with the most breathtaking and scenic views of Lake Erie.

The massive 7,000 square foot vacation home is fully equipped with five bedrooms, five full baths, a full kitchen, dining room, family room, a garage, a pilothouse, and more. The original walnut-paneled staterooms keep the authentic ship feel throughout the lake house that makes you feel as though you’re on a luxurious maiden voyage across the Great Lakes.

 The shiphouse is a great attraction for a family road trip to put-in-bay. It is reachable by a golf cart rental and has some of the most breathtaking views on the island. The shiphouse was featured on multiple tv shows such as MTV Extreme Cribs, Home & Garden TV’s Extreme Homes, The Travel Channel, The British Daily Mirror, and more.

Just a short drive from Cleveland and Toledo, The Benson Ford shiphouse is now known on the island as one of the most interesting houses on Put-in-Bay.

Boost Metabolism

Slimmer Waist

Posture Corrector

When worn correctly and consistently, a waist trainer can significantly reduce pain and improve posture.

A waist trainer can be used for medical purposes and is recommended for individuals who suffer from scoliosis. The waist trainer is designed to improve the curvature in the spine while reducing slouching and poor posture. Corsets are both flexible (which help with agility and mobility) and rigid (which help to maintain the body in an upright position thus promoting improvement with posture).

To produce results wearing the waist trainer not only requires consistency but diet and exercise as well to shape the body. Daily and accurate usage of the shapewear can lead to demonstrated results in as soon as two weeks.

Our products are non-binary and can assist anyone in achieving a thinner torso and weight loss when worn consistently and correctly.

A waist band gradually moves the organs in the body down in a safe way. Simultaneously it brings out the bottom or “floating” ribs in and closer together, resulting in a  cinched waist. Following surgery doctors prescribe these waist trainers to reduce inflammation, swelling, and to make sure skin is tightening in the correct areas.

For best results we recommend wearing the waist trainers daily for short periods. The waist trainers should be worn between 8-10 hours a day for weeks to months to produce results. Diet and exercise assist in shaping the body.

We strongly recommend consulting with your doctor before waist training during pregnancy. Waist trainers can put pressure on the abdomen which could lead to issues when developing the fetus.

Outlaw Midgets

From the first race at Sunset Speedway to the finale at Peterborough Speedway, a single competitor dominated the headlines with a multitude of trips to victory lane. Although Jessica James won all but a single event, others played a factor throughout the year.

James, though, was in the starring role throughout and that began with the first green flag of the season. A great qualifying effort at Spring Velocity allowed her to start up front, and grab the lead on the opening lap. She then led the rest of the way to win at Sunset Speedway, including a great restart with five laps to go, with Larry Lawson and Jeff Blackburn behind her.

The starting line-up followed a more traditional sense at Peterborough Speedway, with the top qualifier starting mid-pack. Taking the green flag from eighth did not stop James, though, as she broke into the top-five on Lap 5, grabbing the top spot with just 10 laps on the board. The consistency continued for Lawson as he scored another runner-up, with Rob McCall rounding out the podium this time around. For McCall, it marked a great rebound after finishing seventh at Sunset.

The return to Sunset in June was like same song, different verse with James once again taking the win, this time after taking the lead on Lap 6. Dan Bound put together a career-best performance for second, with Mike Bradley capturing his first podium of 2022 following a fifth and eighth.

James carried her momentum to the beach to kick off July, winning both features as part of the Canada Day weekend double at Sauble Speedway. The Bradley brothers continued to play a factor, with Dave Bradley second in feature one in front of McCall. The second verse featured McCall and Blackburn.

The tight confines of Grand Bend Speedway did not slow James down, as she found her way to victory lane for the sixth straight event. Lawson broke his recent string of bad luck for his third runner-up of 2022, while Mike Bradley picked up his fourth straight top-five in third.

The mid-summer appearance saw James overcome issues in the qualifying heats to take the lead on the fifth lap of the feature, pacing the rest of the way en route to another checkered flag. Lawson and Dave Bradley both kept their solid seasons in tact with another round of podium appearances.

James wasted no time when she returned to the beach, taking the lead on the opening lap to pace all 25 laps en route to victory this time around. Rob Harrison put together a career-best performance with a runner-up, followed by a season-best third for Kevin Spiez. It was night for different faces to shine, with Jason Metcalfe scoring his first career top-five in fifth.

The summer stayed hot for James with her ninth straight win at Sunset in August. Dave Bradley kept his string of success rolling with a second, while Jamie Kay made his first podium appearance of 2022 in third.

The return to Sunset a month later, though, saw the script flipped a bit. The early stages of the feature saw everybody vying for positions, close racing throughout the field. James made her move inside the top-five, ready to slip up in front of Lawson for position. Instead, contact was made, resulting in James making contact with the wall and catching air in the process. She was uninjured in the incident, but ultimately saw the win streak end in a dramatic fashion.

The Bradley brothers have been mainstays on the tour for years, and have found themselves on the podium in several different fashions. Each of them have placed second and third to other competitors, sometimes sharing those positions together. Fall Velocity, though, saw them make history as they went one-two with Mike Bradley capturing the checkered flag in front of Dave Bradley. Jason Metcalfe also impressed on this cool night, picking up his first career podium finish with third.

You cannot keep a good racer down for long, and James was an example of that. Her team alongside her went to work and made the necessary repairs to the No. 2 Outlaw Midget, and had it ready to rock ‘n’ roll for Flamboro Speedway a couple weeks later. She wasted no time moving her way to the front, taking the green flag in sixth and grabbing the lead on Lap 2. She led the final 23 laps for victory, with Dave Bradley picking up another second. T.Q. Can-Am Midget regular Cory Whittam impressed in his series debut, picking up a third-place finish.

The season finale at Peterborough was the icing on the cake for James, as she put the perfect climax to what had become a checker or wrecker campaign. After finding herself tipped on her side on Lap 1 following a multi-car incident in turn three, she drove her way through the field to take the lead on Lap 3. She then led the rest of the way, securing her 11thwin in 12 races for 2022. It was a pair of familiar faces alongside her on the podium, thanks to McCall and Mike Bradley.

The year will be remembered by the numbers in the stat book, with James securing those victories on a weekly basis. However, alongside those will be the definition of determination, perseverance, and hard work through everything else that happened.

President of the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People, MOSOP Mr. Legborsi Pyagbara, said the call for the relocation of the headquarters of the International Oil Companies to host communities is beyond security but about the “socio justice perspective.”

Speaking as a guest on the programme “Today on STV”, Pyagbara said if the IOCs are drilling oil within the region, they should also live within the region.

He explained further that the relocation would enable the companies to experience what members of such communities are experiencing in terms of environmental degradation and poor health conditions.

”This will help them to make better policies and company community relations,” he said.

He said the problem they have is not an isolated approach, but people are looking at the problem from national security stand point.

He stated that, “when you look at it from the “human security standpoint,” a holistic approach will emerge that captures job, human, environmental and health security issues.”

He also said If people are not having jobs, they will take extra means of survival; but If there is robust human security framework in the Police Force; addressing job, environmental, health and water insecurity, all these things will stop on its own

In his view, the Secretary General, Ijaw Youth Congress Mr. Alfred Nimizigha, said the region has been blackmailed with many things that are not true, adding that the relocation of IOCs will bring the necessary development.

According to him, insecurity and unemployment are some of those things that breed crime in our society today.

He said by the time they have the IOCs back in this region, it will create employment opportunities, boost internally generated revenue to provide more amenities and affect the socio-culture of the environment.

He stated further that the IOCs operate there, get their oil from there, pollute the environment, but they are not situated there; instead, in faraway Lagos paying taxes.

He said all they are requesting for is that the IOCs should stop the blackmail of saying that the environment is not safe.

He stressed that the IOCs should be more sensitive to their corporate social responsibility and cause more development there; so that other parts of the country can also develop within their comparative advantage.

He concluded that the logistics and infrastructure they need to operate is within. So the IOCs and cabals should stop the blackmail, making reference to the region as one of the most peaceful like California.

NASA declares International Space Station ‘open for business,’ which includes non-public astronaut visits

by Micheal Quinn

On Friday, NASA laid out its plans to make the International Space Station a hub for the industrial hobby in low Earth orbit. The corporation has long deliberate to make the ISS a key anchor factor for supporting private commercial enterprise operating in the area.

“We’re right here due to the fact the International Space Station is now open for enterprise,” NASA lead spokesperson Stephanie Schierholz stated at the convention outset. 20 agencies joined NASA officers onstage to launch this new business capacity and speak the possibilities and plan.

Part of the plan consists of permitting non-public astronauts to visit and live on the ISS, traveling on U.S. Cars. It additionally includes allowing non-public business sports to take vicinity on the ISS, which provides for “in-area manufacturing,” advertising sports, healthcare research, “and greater,” NASA says.

NASA articulated a 5-part plan that says “doesn’t war” with government and public zone use of the ISS, however that stands to permit innovative and sundry revenue-generating possibilities for personal actors. NASA’s ordinary purpose is to come to be “one of many” users of the ISS and coffee Earth orbit facilities, the organization said, and this has to cause blessings for taxpayers, too.

Here’s NASA’s five-component plan, as described at a high degree nowadays:

Part 1– NASA created an International Space Station Commercial Use Policy. It affords a preliminary supply or quota of assets, including crew time, load release, and go back talents for purchase by way of non-public groups.

According to yr, part 2– Private astronauts can visit for up to 2 short periods, beginning early as 2020. Missions could be privately funded, dedicated commercial area flights. They will use U.S. Spacecraft (such as those licensed by using the NASA team area travel application, like SpaceX’s Crew Dragon). NASA will lay out pricing for the use of lifestyles aid, team supply, garage, and statistics.

Part 3– The ahead part of the ISS Node 2 Harmony module is available as the first detail of the industrial destination. They characterized this as an initial step toward future business liveable modules in the area. There’s a request for proposals coming on June 14, and NASA will choose a primary client to award the port’s development with the aid of giving up this economical 12 months.

Part 4 – NASA is growing a plan to stimulate the lengthy-term industrial calls, starting via reading space production and regenerative medicinal drug especially. The agency is asking for white papers by using June 15 and suggestions via July 28.

Part 5 – NASA has a brand new white paper that articulates the minimum feasible wishes for lengthy-time period industrial operations in long-term orbit. Lowering rate for industrial transit is noticeably essential to this plan normal, and that got here up time and again; it looks like this is often a call to personal entities to help clear up those and other issues to make certain that commercialization isn’t always handiest available, but additionally possible.

Another piece of the plan is that long-term, over the subsequent decade or so, non-public entities investing in the ISS can potentially replace it with a privately run area station, which would assist address its eventual give-up-of-lifestyles replacement plans. In an interview from April, TechCrunch’s Jon Shieber spoke to ISS National Lab Deputy Chief Scientist Dr. Michael Roberts about its commercialization.

Dr. Roberts articulated some of the capability possibilities for private entities doing business at the ISS, which include excessive hobby in the “fundamental discovery” of areas like preclinical testing or drug delivery mechanisms in the pharmaceutical industry, as an instance. In the producing industry, Dr. Roberts pointed to non-public actors who’re searching for methods to improve current production practices, with the delivered benefit of operating in zero-G and vacuum surroundings.

One of the key pieces of info here’s a broadening of what’s allowed in phrases of advertising sports carried out at the ISS: the U.S. NASA team onboard ISS can participate in a few marketing sports (however essentially simply at the back of the digital camera performing greater as crew), and private astronauts could have a broader mandate, with an awful lot more flexibility in phrases of what they could do in phrases of advertising and advertising.

So we ought to theoretically see a whole lot of Red Bull !!! Promotional sports, if this tendency dystopian. There are 50 personal corporations jogging experiments at the ISS right now, in step with NASA. Still, this assertion is ready to lay a framework that might higher formalize and scale that possibility through the years.

Ballet Mentorship

It is well known that to succeed at the top in any profession one needs at least 10.000 hours of practice. I went through this experience as a student, principal dancer, teacher, director and mentor. The journey keeps going now for more than 40 years… Sharing how to achieve meaning in ballet became my life purpose. If you are curious to find out more, join me!

I believe in the uniqueness of the ballet dancer as a top athlete, fine-tune artist, and a rare gifted movement cultivated human being. My aim is to reveal the deeper meaning of the ballet core and the way ballet dancers embody the values of beauty and truth through their way of being.

Aiming excellence in ballet means streching yourself volontarily from what is challenging enough in the present “into the domain of how you can transform.” (inspired by J. Peterson)

Promoting a subject-centered approach to teaching ballet means that student and teacher are in the same boat, aiming in the same direction, generating together the curiosity for a new field of knowledge. (inspired by Parker J. Palmer)

Developing  with students collaborative processes for ballet learning-teaching strategies means just knocking out the answers from “both sides of the question.”(inspired by Confucius)

Ongoing self-reflexion about the meaning & the voluntary adoption of responsability in the ballet community. (inspired by J. Peterson)

Mentorship Formats

The mentorship programs will be defined soon.

Good morning dear traders!

Consider a wave analysis of the very famous IBM (International Business Machines) stock.

Wave Analysis of IBM Stocks from Simple Invest

Looking at the chart, one dark period in the history of IBM can be noted - this is the beginning of the 90s, when the price of IBM stocks fell to a critical $ 10. In 1993, IBM posted a loss of $ 8bn, the largest in American corporate history at the time, and it was time for drastic action.

New CEO Luis Gerstner decides to cut 20% of its employees, which is 60,000 people. It was the largest cut in American history, but helped the IBM corporation survive from 1993-1994. From 1993 to 2002, when Gerstner left the Blue Giant, the company's market capitalization rose from $ 29 billion to $ 168 billion. This man is considered the savior of IBM.

The next interesting period is the beginning of 2013, then a protracted correction in the value of IBM shares began, with which the price is now trying to start going up.

So, now let's talk about the prospects that we assume by looking at the IBM stock chart.

The maximum correction that we are now admitting is a fall to $ 110.50-112.50, from which we expect a strong rise in the value of IBM stocks.

We consider the critical level - 180$. Fixing the IBM stock price above this level will pave the way for long-term growth with a target of $ 500-530.

Alternative scenario: If the market is negative and the price cannot break above $ 180, then there will be a long-term downward movement towards $ 70 per IBM stock.

It is also always interesting to see your constructive comments below.
