How do you build a luxury home in the middle of the jungle? “The secret,” says Donald Loria Prendas, an architect who designs high-end homes in Costa Rica’s Nosara, “is lots of glass.”

In this beachside town, popular with yogis and surfers, homeowners “want to have a sensation of being in the jungle and [on the] beach without spiders and insects,” says Mr. Loria Prendas.

That means that in a low-key spot once dominated by thatched roofs and colorful tiles, visitors now will find modern mansions with infinity-edge pools, outdoor kitchens and walls of glass to maximize ocean views, thanks to an influx of upscale buyers. Behind the modern amenities are low-maintenance materials, solar-power systems and even wells for drinking water.

Prices of luxury homes—the top 25% of the market—have risen 30% since 2012, while sales volume is up 60%, estimates Bram Shook, a Nosara-based real-estate agent who specializes in luxury properties since moving to the area 16 years ago from San Diego.

Newly constructed homes in Nosara can be half of the price of similar properties in warmer parts of the U.S., Mr. Shook says. Luxury lots start at about $400,000, and a typical high-end home brings total costs to between $750,000 and $1.5 million, according to his estimates.

Mostly cash buyers are seeking a tropical lifestyle and put a premium on views, modern exteriors, elaborate terraces and deluxe outdoor showers. “We live outdoors here,” he says. “You’ll never go to a dinner party and sit inside.”

After reading about Costa Rica and feeling that “on paper everything looked really good,” William and Denisse Cobert set out from Geneva to visit with their two school-age sons with relocation in mind. Ultimately the Coberts chose Nosara because of Del Mar Academy, a 10-year-old primary and secondary school that has more than 140 students from 22 countries and charges more than $10,000 a year in tuition. They relocated to the area in 2012 and completed their home two years later. The Coberts now live in a 6,000-square-foot home that cost $2 million to build on a 1½-acre lot that they purchased for $860,000.

The home is equipped with solar panels and two walls of mechanical wooden louvers to allow for a cooling breeze to pass through the main living areas. Energy bills are only $20 a month, says Mr. Cobert, a 63-year-old technology executive. An indoor living area flows into the oversized outdoor terrace that overlooks the Pacific. “It’s like you have the ocean wrapped around you,” he says.

Costa Rica, along with neighboring Panama and nearby Ecuador, has long been a haven for expats, many of whom are retirees. But Nosara is attracting a different crowd, one that is more affluent and interested in surfing, yoga and wellness retreats. Multiple U.S. cities offer direct flights to the airport in nearby Liberia. From there, most visitors traverse a dusty, partially unpaved road for more than two hours. Roads throughout the town are also unpaved.

The tightknit international community was the draw for Kevin Walker, 61, a port operator in Wrightsville Beach, N.C.

“I started coming here to surf,” says Mr. Walker, who first traveled to Nosara 20 years ago. “After a while, it was the only place in the world I’d go back to.”

Mr. Walker paid $500,000 for his land and last year built a 4,700-square-foot thatched-roof home for about $1 million. He now spends about three months of the year in Nosara, and rents out the home for $1,200 to $3,000 a night, depending on the season.

The home includes five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, along with additional bunk areas for children, which makes it a popular rental for families, he adds. Over Christmas, Mr. Walker hosted 18 friends and family members. “I started looking at [building] two bedrooms, and then it morphed into five bedrooms,” he says.

In the past five to 10 years, homeowners have been spending more on smart technology to control temperature settings, security and home-theater systems, as well as LED lighting and solar power, says Mauricio Hernández Muñoz of LHC Constructora, a firm that specializes in luxury homes and hotels. High-end finishes, including industrial-style polished concrete floors, stainless-steel railings and local teak wood ceilings on covered outdoor terraces are also in demand. “People are investing more money here,” says Mr. Hernández Muñoz. “We’re building bigger and more expensive homes.”

Construction costs for a luxury 4,000-square-foot home are typically between $550,000 and $700,000, says Lucca Spendlingwimmer, principal at Salagnac Arquitectos in Nosara, who works with LHC Constructora on projects. Hilltop retreats with ocean views within a 10-minute drive of the beach are pricier than lowland properties near the ocean. Properties near the beach are built at least 200 yards from the high-tide mark and often don’t have ocean views, he adds. As land prices increase, older homes are demolished, not remodeled, which means opportunity for new construction, says Mr. Spendlingwimmer. “The nicest houses built 30 years ago were built simply and without the elements of being more connected to nature,” he says.

Sensing opportunity, some developers are scooping up acreage. In 2007, Stephen Radl and Pete Schmit purchased 136 acres bordering the Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary for $635,000—considered a bargain in retrospect because of the financial downturn. They spent another $1.5 million to install the infrastructure for a gated and paved development—including putting the power lines below ground to prevent injuring the troops of native Howler monkeys passing through. The first three homes were designed by Mr. Spendlingwimmer and completed in 2015. The 3,600-square-foot fully furnished homes cost about $700,000, with two still on the market. The location feels remote, but they are just a short drive from the center of town and the beach, says Mr. Radl, who plans to complete another 27 homes in the next two years. “You’re in the midst of a real Costa Rican jungle forest and nine minutes from [a hotel restaurant] where you can get chichi sushi,” he says.

Building in Costa Rica is a straightforward process, with simple permitting procedures and growing access to high-end construction materials, says Mr. Radl. But installing the infrastructure in remote areas can be time consuming, he adds.

In addition, property disputes in Costa Rica are “numerous,” according to the U.S. Embassy’s website. Though there’s a centralized registry that records real-estate ownership, some deals for coastal property involve a kind of long-term lease in lieu of a title, says Marco Solano, partner at Aguilar Castillo Love, in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Homes provide a close-up to the region’s wildlife, an adjustment for those who have never lived in a tropical locale. Mike Murphy, a 72-year-old retired divemaster, built a circular hilltop home in 2011 with 360-degree views of the jungle and ocean. The home, which took four years to build and sits on a 1.7-acre lot, is on the market for $2.5 million because he plans to relocate closer to family in Europe, he adds.

Open arches throughout the first floor mean that monkeys and birds appear unannounced, including a family of birds that has made a nest in the chandelier, says Mr. Murphy. “Our home is completely open—we’re not hermetically sealed.”

Joy for campaigners in fight against pig farmer’s village wind turbine plans

More than 30 campaigners fighting a pig farmer’s wind turbine planning application turned out for a West Lindsey committee meeting to show their strength of feeling.

Ermine Farms Ltd’s application for two 35m wind turbines at Heath Farm in Normanby by Spital had been recommended for approval subject to conditions.

But West Lindsey District Council planners have now agreed to do a site visit following a presentation by leading campaigner Richard Armstrong.

Richard said: “From a results perspective, I think we are at half time and it’s currently a score-draw.

“Given that we are the underdogs, however, this has to be a great result so far.”

He added: “We have got the planning committee wanting more time and the proposed site visit can only help us, as all the photomontages go out the window and they actually see what is going on and where.”

Residents are concerned about the impact turbines would have on wildlife, horses, house prices and views of the open countryside.

Campaigner Malcolm Worth said: “I hope it brought home to the committee just how strong the level of feeling is becoming across the district.”

A supporting statement in Ermine Farms Ltd’s planning application said: “Pig farming in the UK has come under increased pressure from rising feed costs and retailers are seeking to ensure high environmental performance of their suppliers and are keen to see onsite energy generation.”

A site visit will take place at 10am on Wednesday, December 12.

The application will then go to the planning committee on January 9 next year.

BAE may cut 3,000 jobs as orders for jet slow

Published: Sept 25, 2011 11:24 a.m. ET

LONDON -(MarketWatch)- U.K. defense company BAE Systems PLC (BA.LN) could announce this week that it will cut 3,000 jobs in the U.K. as defense spending cuts take their toll, the Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph reported.

The Telegraph said the cuts will focus on BAE's military aircraft division in Warton, Lancashire, and Brough, Yorkshire.

BAE is concerned about the time it could take to secure export orders for the Eurofighter Typhoon jet, as orders from the partner nations, including the U.K., slow amid cuts to defense budgets, the Telegraph said.

A spokeswoman for the company wouldn't comment on the reported number of job cuts, but said BAE "has informed staff that we are reviewing our operations across various businesses to make sure the company is performing as effectively and efficiently as possible, both in delivering our commitments to existing customers and ensuring the company is best placed to secure future business."

"As the outcome of this review becomes clear, we will, as always, communicate to our employees as a priority," the spokeswoman said.

BAE has about 40,000 people working in the U.K., many of whom are in Warton, where the company builds the Typhoon fighter jet.

It also has large operations in Barrow-in-Furness, Glasgow, Portsmouth and Farnborough.

BAE has already cute more than 15,000 jobs globally in the past two years, the Times reported.

Chronic stress is linked to a high risk of stroke, according to new research. Previous, unrelated research has shown that massage therapy mitigates the effects of stress.

The research team based their findings on 150 adults, with an average age of 54, who had been admitted to one stroke unit, and 300 randomly selected healthy people of a similar age who lived in the same neighborhood, according to a press release.

Levels of chronic stress were assessed using the combined quantitative scores of four validated scales, looking at major life events; symptoms, such as anxiety and depression; general wellbeing; and behavior patterns indicative of type A personality (ERCTA scale).

“Type A behaviors include hostility, aggression, impatience and a quick temper,” the press release noted. “A score of 24 or higher on the ERCTA scale is considered to be indicative of a type A personality.”

Participants were also assessed for known biological risk factors for stroke, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, any history of heart rhythm abnormalities, and daytime sleepiness.

And they were quizzed on their lifestyle, including their caffeine, alcohol and energy drink intake, as well as whether they smoked, had a partner and a job.

The results showed that several factors were independently associated with a heightened risk of stroke:

• Compared with the healthy comparison group, the risk of a stroke was almost four times higher among those who had experienced a major life event in the previous year.

• A high score on the ERCTA scale more than doubled stroke risk, as did a current or previous history of smoking, and intake of two or more energy drinks a day.

• Those with heart rhythm disturbances were more than three times as likely to have a stroke while those with a high daytime sleepiness score almost tripled their risk. And being a man boosted the risk nine-fold.

“But when all the factors were assessed together, the risk of a stroke was associated with a stressful life and type A behaviors,” the press release stated. “And this held true, irrespective of other risk factors, including gender and an unhealthy lifestyle.”

Previous studies have linked chronic stress to heart disease.

The research was published online in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.

5 Reasons Why You Should Ask for a Vehicle History Report

When you’re shopping for a used car, whether here at the McCarthy Auto Group of car dealerships or anywhere around the country, it’s important to know what kinds of skeletons that vehicle might have in its closet. Here are the five main reasons why you should always ask for a vehicle history report when buying a used…

, an online travel solutions portal that focuses on budget accommodations has touched the 3000 mark in terms of the number of budget properties available on the site, with over 90% of the properties being priced under Rs 3000, reports The Economic Times. The company now intends to increase the number of total properties available to 12,000 by next year.

We feel that by focusing on budget properties, the site targets the needs of budget travelers, specially corporate and business travelers who look for service apartments and guest houses or bread and breakfast establishments, filling a void that is not addressed by mainstream online travel agents, at the moment.

Offering For Travelers

Besides offering a hotel search feature that allows users to filter their search on the basis of cost, room requirements and locality apart from category of hotels which includes 2 and 3 star hotels, cottages, heritage properties, budget properties, service apartments and others, it also lists top-rated and recently added properties.

The portal also offers flight bookings, and holiday packages. It also curates travelogues from users, which is rather interesting. As a part of a promotional campaign, the website is currently offering a cash prize for writing travelogues.

For Property Owners & Franchisees

The site allows registered hoteliers to manage their inventory distribution along with updating their inventory in real time. The website allows the property owners to get online bookings from their websites and travel agents through its own property management system.

The company is planning to expand its operations and intends to recruit franchisees, based on a commission model, wherein franchisees get their own portals and get revenue through advertisements, annual subscriptions from owners of budget properties, by selling package tours and also through cab bookings.

Founded in 2009 by by Varun Chawla and Jitender Arora, who invested nearly Rs 1.25 crore in the venture, had also received angel funding of $100,000 in October 2010.

The website has a ‘Sponsored’ listings section, offering greater visibility to properties on its homepage. Besides commission on each booking, which the site owners claim are minuscule, MyGuestHouse offers packages to hotel owners to build their custom websites for a subscription charge.

– Why not offer budget holidays, targeting leisure travelers who don’t want to spend more. The website should include more travel packages, across various categories, if it wants to compete with the well entrenched players in this space such as Yatra, MakeMyTrip and ClearTrip.

– It should not restrict itself to flight ticket bookings and extend travel bookings to rail and bus. Perhaps it could also integrate a cab booking engine, or just partner with someone like Olacabs or GetMecab.

– Although we were able to find user ratings for different hotels and properties, what it lacks is user reviews.

Wisconsin’s Most Successful Drunk Driving Defense Firm Today!

Officer's lie leads to Wisconsin woman's drunk driving charges

Police officers and other law enforcement officials are charged with enforcing the ordinances and laws that keep communities safe. Their jobs can be undeniably difficult when Wisconsin residents blatantly choose to disobey the rules their governments have enacted to provide for their well-being. However, law enforcement officials can also make the lives of citizens quite difficult when they abuse their powers.

Last year, a Wisconsin woman was involved in a car accident with a Milwaukee County deputy sheriff. The accident was so severe that the woman broke her neck. While she was in an immobilizing device for her injuries, she was asked to blow into a breathalyzer. When her condition prevented her from doing so, the deputy sheriff charged her with operating while intoxicated and claimed that she was the cause of the accident.

Blood tests later revealed that the woman had no alcohol or other substances in her system. As a result, prosecutors did not pursue the drunk driving charges against her. Conversely, the deputy sheriff eventually confessed that his actions were to blame for the incident and he received a short suspension from duty.

The victim in this story not only had to endure a painful and dangerous injury but also the humiliation of being accused of drunk driving by a deputy sheriff. Had charges been pursued she could have faced the serious penalties associated with drunk driving convictions, such as license suspensions, jail sentences and fines. At this time, she is still trying to get the costs of her medical treatment covered and she is pursuing a complaint against the responsible deputy sheriff.

Police officers do not always get the story right when they are making stops for suspected DUI and other alcohol-related offenses. While many follow procedure and take their duties seriously, the actions of this deputy sheriff illuminate the fact that law enforcement officials are capable of making mistakes. When their actions erroneously cause Wisconsin residents to face criminal charges, citizens can lose important rights based on fictitious information.

I'm a Ph.D. Candidate in Contemporary American Literature at Indiana University in Bloomington. I research the ways that technological concerns associated with computers intersect the culture and the ways that we inflect narratives. I look at New Journalism around the computer industry, as well as fiction and cultural artifacts that surround information technologies of late 20th and early 21st centuries. Secondarily, I'm interested in contemporary authors and contemporary literary movements. My first edited volume about Chuck Palahniuk has just been published, and I'm planning similar works to this in the future.

Breaking News

BERKELEY — UC Berkeley Police said Monday that they had arrested suspects in a kidnapping last week where two people were approached by armed men and forced to drive to an ATM to withdraw cash.

News of the arrests came in a campus alert sent out by police, but officials would not confirm the arrests or reveal the suspects’ identities Monday afternoon.

The robbery occurred at 2 a.m. Thursday at a dirt turnout along Grizzly Peak Boulevard, where the victims, ages 23 and 26, were sitting in their car and looking at the view.

The three suspects, two carrying handguns and one a baseball bat, approached the victims and demanded money. The victims, who are not affiliated with UC Berkeley, said they didn’t have money, prompting one suspect to get into their car and tell them to drive to an ATM. The other two men followed in their car, described as an orange and gray 2005 Honda Element.

After the victims withdrew money, they were released uninjured.

UC Berkeley Sergeant Andrew Tucker said that the suspects are believed to have been involved in other crimes in the area and asked that anyone with information about this incident or similar ones to contact Detective Brendan Tinney at 510-642-3758 or 510-642-6760.

Breaking silos, nudging communities: The SITE4Society adventure
UNU-MERIT's Site4Society (S4S) aims to foster home-grown social innovation. It starts from the premise that knowledge need not be cold or aloof, but can in fact serve various social challenges. In the case of S4S, we address the clear lack of networks between academics from different disciplines and between social scientists and the rest of the world ? on the SDGs in particular. So the main aim is to break open silos and start unconventional conversations through interactive workshops.

For our second S4S event held last week we hosted speakers from across the local innovation system, including Brightlands (an institution supported by the Limburg government to nurture start-ups), sustainably.io (getting to be a start-up), DSM corporate sustainability division (a Dutch multinational present in 50 countries), GoodGood (a social enterprise), LOCOtuinen (a cooperative), Bandito Espresso (a social enterprise) and Maastricht University (an academic institution!).

  • Mechanical fluctuations track how bacteria respond to antibiotics
    A new piezoelectric sensor can identify the most appropriate antibiotic for an infection in less than an hour, according to physicists in the US. While conventional antimicrobial tests can take days, the device detects changes in bacteria motion upon initial exposure to antibiotics. Faster antibiotic selection could improve treatment outcomes and help tackle antimicrobial resistance.

    Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is used to identify the most appropriate antibiotic for a bacterial infection. Current tests are constrained by bacterial growth rates, as they examine the effect of antibiotics on the growth of bacteria colonies cultivated from patient samples. However, the two to three days this takes to produce results can cause problems.

    To accelerate AST, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado are developing a biophysical method that can measure changes in mechanical fluctuations of bacteria.

    Their sensor is based on thin quartz crystal disc, with an electrode on each surface. One of the electrodes is used to deliver an electrical signal that is close to the disc's resonance frequency, while the other measures the piezoelectric voltage created by the resulting crystal vibrations. The technique involves coating the disk in bacteria. Fluctuations in the mechanical properties of the organisms affect the frequency of the output signal, which in turn can be used to detect changes in the bacteria population when exposed to the antibiotics.

3 Lessons I Learned While I Was Separated From My Wife

I was the reason my wife of 14 years and I separated. I could try to convince you otherwise, and probably do a good job (I’m a writer), but I will be honest and say that I was a jerk for most of those 14 years. We got married the day after I turned 18 and were determined to beat the stats on young marriages that end up in divorce.

Throughout most of those 14 years, I struggled with many personal demons. I had an unhealthy love of eating and gained 170 pounds. I was horrible with money and got our family into major (read: $180,000) debt. I woke up every day to work a job I hated with every fiber of my being. All of these circumstances were my own doing, but I took them out on my wife.

I told you I was a jerk.

In 2011, my wife told me that she had had enough, and we separated. I moved in with a friend and was still too selfish to realize the most precious thing in my life was slipping away. It took me the entire rest of that year to realize this, but after a year of separation, I ultimately knew that I had to wake up. I had to stop making excuses.

When I initially had the sense that I needed to change several months into our separation, I called my wife and begged her to come home. She wasn’t convinced. We did end up reconciling at the end of one year, but only after I learned these three lessons:

1. Ignoring my problems would not make them any less acute.

Year after year I tried to pretend life was good or that at some other point in my life, I would “get it together.” That day never seemed to come, and the problems got bigger. The first step in fixing any problem is acknowledging the problem exists. In relationships, a lot of times the problem is with us, not our partner.

We had real financial struggles: we couldn’t open a bank account in our name because of so many levies. My weight had a devastating effect on our sex life. My job brought stress into our home daily. These problems weren't subtle by any means, and yet I never wanted to confront them.

I didn't know how to fix the problems, but ignoring them made everything worse ... until the relationship imploded. Then, when we separated, I was forced to admit all of the things I had control over that I was deliberately denying to myself. I was then able to sit down and figure out how I could make changes to myself, and then to our relationship.

This all took time, but I created a plan and found a way. Denial of major problems in your life will only make them fester beneath the surface.

2. Voicing an intention to change doesn't make that change into a reality.

I spent hours trying to convince my wife to reconcile, but she had heard all the empty promises too many times before. No matter how well crafted my rationalizations were, I finally realized that words are moot if there's no action behind them. And when I started to make changes, my wife noticed without me saying a word. Those changes were the first step in our reconciliation.

Let's face it: talk is cheap. If you’re trying to reconcile with a love lost or grow a relationship, your actions will be what helps you both. Real change might start with words, but the main component of its success is the daily actions. You wake up every day and do whatever it takes to better the situation — especially in relationships.

3. Love is not just a feeling, but a decision.

The most important lesson I learned is that love is a decision. I learned that my feelings will come and go, and attraction can change shape and manifest itself at certain times more than others.

But love is a decision you make when you wake up and commit to the person you made vows to. When you decide to choose love over lust, that is a decision. When you choose to prioritize your partner's needs over yours at a moment they are struggling — that's another everyday example of deciding to love.

It took three years, but I was able to pay off all the debt and quit the job I hated. My wife and I are lucky to say that we're celebrating 17 years of marriage this year. Does the story always end this way? No. Sometimes there are circumstances that break a marriage beyond repair — such as abusive behavior or infidelity.

If you are not in one of those situations, use these lessons that helped my wife and me. Choose love every day and continue to work on improving yourself, which affects your relationship. Each of our situations is different, but love is a beautiful that can stand the test of time and trials.

What have you learned in your relationship?

How To Finally Stop Comparing Yourself To Others

I don’t know about you, but when I compare myself to others I always feel drained, insecure, and unhappy and find myself creating stories about how I'm not good enough. These feelings build stress in my body and leave me unable to operate from a creative, empowered place. When you’re comparing yourself to someone else, you aren’t focusing on yourself and everything you have to offer the world in your own unique way.

So it's time to make the sometimes-difficult-but-very-necessary commitment to stop comparing yourself to others. The world needs your special gifts. Here are five steps to get you started:

1. Recognize that you're comparing yourself to others.

The first step in letting go of comparison is to acknowledge you're doing it. It won’t feel natural to focus only on yourself at first as we're conditioned to compare ourselves and have others compare us to one another. But by being aware of what you're doing, you can quickly dissolve any negative thoughts or feelings that may arise. Nip it in the bud and go back to embracing all you can offer the world instead.

2. Focus on all that you are rather than what you think you're lacking.

Focus on how you can serve yourself, others, and the world. Celebrate others rather than feeling jealous and attacking them. When you attack another, you attack yourself. We're each great in our own unique way. Celebrate the greatness in others and yourself.

When I catch myself comparing, I quickly say to myself, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” I never want to feel joyless, so I immediately shift my thoughts and behavior. Try it!

3. Keep everything in perspective.

Some may envy that I live in New York and work full-time as a model. But I bet they don’t envy all the rejection I endure on a regular basis. I could envy friends and relatives for having wonderful spouses and adorable children. But I don’t envy the lack of sleep or immense sacrifices all parents must make.

We each have our own path, journey, unique personalities, and gifts to share with the world. If you’re too busy comparing yourself to other people, you might miss all the blessings put before you on your path.

4. Limit your time on social media.

Have you ever been having a perfectly great day only to scroll through your social media feeds and almost instantly feel horrible about yourself? I know I have on numerous occasions.

I remember sitting at the hair salon feeling relaxed and pampered, casually browsing my Instagram feed. Within seconds, I felt my energy plummet — I was comparing myself to other women who seemed to have it all (fancy careers, outfits, vacations).

These thoughts give rise to feelings that bring us down! We feel as though we can never measure up as women, mothers, daughters, friends, employees, etc. The message you're sending yourself is I am not enough. I need to have more and be more to compete with my social media feed.

But you know what? That’s a bunch of crap. Someone is always going to be more physically attractive, smarter, wealthier, funnier. It doesn’t matter. What’s important are the unique gifts you and only you can bring to the table, and your special connections to others. Even the people you deem the most successful with enviable careers, relationships, wardrobes, and homes have bad days, trauma, and sadness in their lives.

5. Forgive yourself.

It's human nature to compare ourselves to other people. Forgive yourself for this nasty habit we've all succumbed to, but stay committed to the intention that you'll no longer do it.

The Surprising "Good" Habit That Could Be Holding You Back

There was a time in my life when I thought the best strategy for stress was to focus only on the positive — even if something was about to go wrong. If you’ve ever tried to shut down your worry muscle altogether, you’ve probably experienced this, too. You try your best to engage only in positive thinking, but invariably difficulties come up. What then?

If you start to let in the negative, is it just a downhill slope to full-on pessimism? It doesn’t have to be. There’s a middle ground I call constructive thinking.

Our reality is created by our perception and interpretation of stimuli. Our perspective affects the quality of our life. If you’re still reading, then you, like me, probably regard optimism with some wariness. You question when positive thinking is wise and when you might be taking it too far. Misapplied, optimism can look an awful lot like old-fashioned denial.

Sh*t happens in life. That’s a reality. If positive thinking is your only approach, you’ll ignore problems you could potentially solve or circumvent entirely through strategic thinking. But to strategize a solution, you have to acknowledge the potential for things to go wrong.

Consider this quote from Oliver Burkeman’s book The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Hate Positive Thinking.

“The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist thinks that it will change, and the realist adjusts the sails.”

Being the pessimist or the optimist isn’t necessarily the best or only route. Instead, I’m looking to be the realist in a situation — maybe one with slightly positive inclinations.

In Jim Collins’s book, Good to Great, Jim talks with Adm. James Stockdale, the highest-ranking POW in Vietnam. He was in prison camps for about seven years, tortured beyond all imagination, and put into solitary confinement for huge amounts of time.

Collins asks Stockdale, “[What kind of people] didn’t make it out of the camps?” Stockdale’s response: “The optimists.” Jim was confused. Admiral Stockdale explained, “The optimists would say, 'We’ll be out by Christmas!’ Then Christmas would come and Christmas would go and then they would say, 'We’ll be out by Easter!’ And Easter would come and Easter would go. Then Thanksgiving. Then it was Christmas again. [Eventually, they gave up. I think some of them even] died of a broken heart.”

Stockdale continued, “You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality.”

If you deceive yourself, you’re robbing yourself of the chance to find your way out. Sometimes, the only way out is through.

Instead of sticking your head in the sand, acknowledge the reality of a difficult situation, then look for the actionable opportunity to change it. Focusing only on the negative (i.e., the obstacle) or only on the positive (i.e., the bright side) will keep you stuck. Instead, ask yourself, “What can I do to increase my odds of making it through this storm?”

It’s not always easy to find this perspective in life, but it is always valuable. When the next storm hits your life, adjust your sails, and you’ll have a much better chance of making it through.

5 Pieces of Yogic Wisdom From My Grandma

Making the transition from adolescence to adulthood is often easier said than done. It’s a gradual process. We must decipher through the hoards of influences from our childhood years and then decide who we will be as individuals with our unique set of values, ready to absorb the outside world on our own.

I came away from my childhood with some pretty stellar pieces of advice and sage wisdom from many loved ones, advice I recycle daily. Somehow, I won the genetic lottery and was born into a family led beautifully by my grandma, Nonna in Italian, Grammy in my heart. More than any other human being, my grandma walks the walk. She’s been through some tremendous challenges in her life, including growing up in Ethiopia, rather than her native Italy, to escape Mussolini’s reign, and despite being stronger, wiser and more evolved than her parents, she moved on in her life with zero bitterness, insecurity or lingering pain.

She’s continued to live her life with grace, exuberance, humility and joy. If I were to point young girls to one woman for advice, for inspiration, admiration, intelligence and lessons on how to live a full life, then I’d direct them no further than to my Nonna, a woman who practices yoga as intended, from her being.

I could fill encyclopedias with truly valuable advice from my grandma on how to enjoy life, how to live in balance, equanimity and love, but for now I’ll pass along a few gems that we could all benefit from and truths the world should certainly echo.

1. Nourishing your body, mind and soul: Moderation is key. The joke in our family is that grandma will outlive us all. She is almost always working, walking, reading, engaging, helping and/or cooking. She is a phenomenal culinary artist, perfecting almost any genre of food with ease, but mostly it was her respect for natural, quality ingredients that stuck with me and her emphasis on moderation. She always encouraged me to enjoy the fruits of this existence but without desperation, without greed, without neediness. Eat consciously, savoring and appreciating every bite, and you will not overindulge. Grandma dances and moves with joy, she lights up the room. She doesn’t push her body to extremes, she falls asleep and rises each day at a reasonable hour, but she uses her machine and she takes care of it well.

2. How to love: Tolerance. Her and my Poppy have been married for 52 years, together 53. The details of their story are incredible, enlightening and awe-inspiring. Considering what they’ve each experienced as children, the love they fostered between each other which they then bestowed upon us is astounding. They are playful, insightful, hard-working people who live best by example. When asking my grandma about the secret to her successful marriage, time and time again, she answers with the word tolerance. She always told me in her adorable Italian accent to carefully pick my battles. She chooses peace and responds with love, and would much rather be happy than right. Watching her navigate the difficult times with relative ease shows how much acceptance plays its part. Falling and staying in love with someone for who they are, not who you hope they’ll be, is key in long-term happiness with another. They’ve been through the normal and the unimaginable in over five decades together and they still light up when speaking of their love, they still hold hands, kiss passionately and enjoy being the witnesses in each other’s lives. Most of us grandkids are children of broken homes. Their mature, genuine love gave us hope for ourselves and a belief in lasting happiness.

3. How to be: Living in your own skin is the most challenging battle you’ll wage every day of your life. We spend unnecessary amounts of time in disappointment, doubt and overall dislike of who and what we are. I can remember being very little and watching my grandma throw on a dress and a little lipstick (she wastes little time primping) and say “not bad for 50!.” I’ve witnessed throughout my short life the sheer appreciation my grandma had for all that she was. She knew inherently that it was a gift to be alive and the bliss that arrives with acceptance. She doesn’t waste time and energy on criticizing herself or anyone else. She’s no kiss ass and no pushover, but she sees and feels goodness, chooses to appreciate rather than deprecate and always chooses love over hate.

4. How to see: My grammy is equipped with a keene eye. Her intelligence is carved exquisitely. She responds and perceives situations, people and events with magnificent clarity. She knows what to bother with and what to let go. She knows most of life is small stuff so she lets that roll right off and distinguishes between worthwhile endeavors wisely. She pursues work, hobbies and relationships that bring out her joy, is respectful to others but wastes little time with negativity or melodrama. She taught me the art of seeing the light in someone’s eyes, on weeding out the disingenuous and devoting my energy and heart to those deserving. I carry no hatred or disgust in my heart for anyone, but I’ve inherited the eye to see those who carry darkness, those I simply cannot trust, while being open and receptive to brilliant minds and kind hearts. What an amazing barometer she set.

5. Your relationship with time: I have little doubt my grandma’s fascinating and often difficult upbringing added to her innate strength. The stories I heard as a girl were fun, light-hearted and encouraging. Grandma doesn’t wallow. She gave little credence to grudges, to stinginess, to reliving or being defined by the past and instead she remained optimistic, progressive and most importantly, present. She understood and appreciated the gift of another’s visit. She doesn’t attach herself to things, to acquisitions, achievements, money or notoriety. She lives with joy and presence and relishes the opportunity to tackle each day, to live in her skin and to love with uncompromising generosity and kindness.

Nonna breathes with a yogic heart and soul without ever popping into a down dog. My greatest and most influential teachers are more impressive in heart than I ever care to admire on the mat. I can respect and appreciate mastery of asana and I absolutely love moving my body in that way and instructing my students to do the same, but never without emphasizing the importance of their presence, their acceptance of themselves now, and the beauty in opening our hearts and minds in addition to releasing the body. Yoga is a gentle, loving guide on how to live truthfully and blissfully. And so is my grandma. Take the positives from your journey, forgive and surrender the negatives and move forward with gratitude and euphoria. You deserve to love the life you are. Accept, be present and enjoy the hell out of this one life you have!

Short notice issue resolved professionally and quickly

I was one day away from closing on my home in Sugar Land, and the buyers were having an issue with two light bulbs that were out 30ft into the foyer ceiling! I called Mister Sparky pretty frantic about how I was going to get this issue resolved on short notice. I spoke with their scheduler and was appreciative of how she was compassionate about my situation. She worked with my time crunch. The electrician showed up on time and fixed the problem quickly! To top it all off they called me later at home to ask how their service was! They know how to run a business - this is customer service at its finest. Thank you for your help and understanding!

Excellent Service!

I called about an electrical issue at 8:40, by 10:30 a tech was at my door. Clint B was very polite, knowledgeable, and professional. He went above & beyond to make sure he left me a satisfied customer. The work was completed promptly & he left not 1 piece of mess to clean. I will definitely use Mister Sparky again & would recommend to my friends as well. Thank you very much!

Needed circuit breaker replaced and a couple of wall light switches replaced covered under my Electric Repair Plan. They sent out Mr Sonny form your company. He didn't just do the job from the work order then leave. He listened to me then explained to me my options. After he finished we when over it to my satisfaction and he offered some valuable suggestions to help me in the future. He left my home clean and he was courteous and professional.Thank youjmhbw

Electrician Services in Houston TX

A company that deserves a great review. We were able to easily schedule and appointment, the tech showed up when expected (unlike the cable guy) and we knew how much our repair would cost up front and that didn't change when he was done. I can't say how many times we get an estimate and in the end there have been extra after extra added on. Very polite and conscious of our place, did a great job and did not hold us up forever waiting for him to finish. I seldom do reviews so, Great Job -

Is Bigger Actually Better? – By John Stiernberg

April 25, 2012 by JohnStiernberg

So you want to grow your business and revenue. Outside of raising your fees (which may be difficult in a competitive and budget-conscious market), there are two primary paths to bringing in more cash: 1) diversification and 2) scaling.

Diversification focuses on adding capabilities and products so you can offer more and charge more to your clients. Scaling points to more total gigs per year using your current rig and team. Do you need to diversify? How do you scale larger without getting overextended? Is there a hybrid scenario that combines the two? This article addresses these issues and recommends three action tips for success.

Mobile entertainment used to be pretty simple. The pioneering DJs of the 1970s and 1980s provided sound, music programming, MC work, and (sometimes) stage lighting for shows. The range of product offerings has expanded a lot. The menu now includes audio and video recording, karaoke, gaming, and “soft” services like meeting and event planning. Sure these are marketable, but why do them?

The obvious reasons are 1) revenue growth and 2) competitive positioning. The additional revenue is a result of being more important to each client and providing “one-stop shopping.” That way the client does not have to engage separate contractors for each of the various elements of the show or event. Sounds simple, right? Maybe on the surface, but there is more to it than that.

In order to diversify, you need to 1) own additional equipment, 2) promote the additional products, and 3) be good at all of it. (It’s tough to build a company that provides excellent service to begin with.) There are three upsides beyond the potential increase in revenue:

The ability to re-market to existing clients. You can go back to your “regulars” and offer new capabilities. They know you already, and are likely to be receptive (no guarantees though).

Dealing with competitors. You can count on the fact that your competitors are thinking about diversification too. Offensively, you can beat them to the punch. Defensively, you need to anticipate their moves.

Efficiency behind the scenes. While there are increased costs, the planned revenue and marketing benefits can potentially make you more profitable overall. Example: Promoting new capabilities on a website or Facebook page does not cost more after the initial setup is done.

The reason to scale up is also revenue growth. Doing more show dates leads to increased revenue and market presence vs. competitors. Booking more gigs with your current setup (i.e. stage rig, performance team, and business team) assumes 1) that the gigs are available and 2) that you have the tools and people to do the work.

There are risks involved here too. What if you book two gigs on the same date and you only own one sound and lighting system? Do you rent, buy, subcontract, or turn down one of the gigs? Not such an easy question to answer. As such, the “when to scale” part of the equation is just as important as the “why” part.

Do I buy more gear? Do I hire and train more people? How do I promote the new company position vs. competitors? Whoa, slow down! Here are three suggestions for how to approach diversification and scaling in a systematic way that addresses the risk factors before you spend money or other resources.

Action Tip 1: Quantify the market potential. Whether you operate in a major metropolitan market, college town, or semi-rural area, you need to know how many potential jobs are out there and what the competitors are doing. Know that no company gets 100% market share. Run the numbers and see if there is enough work to plan for growth.

Action Tip 2: Re-assess your capabilities. What are you known for now? If your brand identity is primarily music, sound and lights, what additional service (e.g. video, karaoke, etc.) could you tiptoe into it without betting the company on it? Success tip: Talk to past and current customers who know you and get their feedback.

Action Tip 3: Update your business plan and budget. Create a preliminary budget that includes the increased revenue but also the expenses (payments on new equipment, subcontractor fees, promotional costs, etc.). Look at the resulting numbers and determine if you are comfortable taking the risk. Important success tip: Do this before buying equipment or hiring anyone.

While revenue growth is great, the path to it is risky, especially in today’s ultra-competitive market. Thoroughly think through both the advantages and risks of diversification and scaling. Be sure to implement the Action Tips in sequence: 1) quantify the market potential, 2) re-assess your current situation, and 3) run the budget numbers before making any financial, staffing, or promotional commitments.

Next time we’ll talk more about the strategic planning and decision-making process. In the meantime, best wishes for success in mobile entertainment in 2012!

Rainbow FlagOur country feels very different than it did a year ago on the last National Coming Out Day, when the prospect of an LGBTQ-friendly president was still possible. Now, however, the day feels even more like a time for activism and resistance.

As Harvey Milk said, “Coming out is the most political thing you can do.” It is also, of course, one of the most personal. And while some of us may be out to a degree that lets us feel comfortable joining resistance marches, calling our elected officials, or writing op-eds to our local papers, others of us may not. As parents, we may fear the loss of a job that feeds our kids or worry that our kids will be bullied or harassed because of their parents. We may worry about being turned away by child service agencies. Personal and family safety and security is vital, and I cannot tell anyone to ignore that.

At the same time, being out in a way that is “political” doesn’t not necessarily mean a making grand public gesture. It may simply involve coming out to a relative or neighbor and perhaps changing their mind about LGBTQ people, or at least causing them to pause and think before pulling the lever for an anti-LGBTQ politician in the next election. And being out may mean we find allies we never knew we had, allies who may provide us and our children with needed emotional and/or political support in the current era.

Those of us who are able to be safely out in a more public way, though, need to do so doubly for those who cannot. We need to set examples of self-confidence and self-worth for our own children and for the next generation of LGBTQ people. We need to lend our queer voices to the intersecting struggles of other marginalized groups. We need to let the current federal administration (and many of our state administrations) know that the more they try to deny us equality and push us back into the closet, the more we will burst out. Rainbows are made from visible light.

For some resources on coming out and being out as an LGBTQ parent, see my National Coming Out Day post from 2015.

Minneapolis Residents Look for Answers

Minneapolis was my home for four years, as it was for many of us who just graduated from the University of Minnesota this May. Some of us have moved away, but wherever this community resides now, we share something in common. We’re worried about Minneapolis. I used to cross the Minneapolis bridge that collapsed last night every week and never once gave the safety of the bridge a second thought. It’s a big, sturdy bridge. I didn’t think there was anything to worry about.

But I guess I was wrong. I read that the bridge collapsed minutes after it happened and immediately sent text messages to two of my best friends who still live in the area. Thankfully they were safe; one had actually yet to hear about the disaster. I was not alone in this panic. Minneapolis friends and families flooded house and cell phone lines so much that area phone numbers reportedly weren’t working. Some, like me, were able to connect with people but the not-so-lucky ones are still painfully waiting for a snippet of any news at all.

Today, divers searched through submerged debris, citizens poured over news reports, and officials made plans to investigate similar bridges in the area. Police are planning to put the bridge back together, as if made of puzzle pieces, to determine what caused the collapse. Bush has made $5 million available to the city to remove debris and organize traffic and is planning on visiting the site Saturday. And, in the meantime, people want answers, and they’re not getting them.

But there are some places where people can start to look for answers. My former student newspaper, the Minnesota Daily is providing up-to-date news, photos, videos, and commentary on the developing situation. I highly encourage you to turn to some of the most thorough and comprehensive coverage available right now, coming from whom some consider to be unlikely candidates: students.

Trendsignal Indicator MQL5

Trendsignal Indicator is based on some of the best strategy calculation. Trendsignal draws BUY/SELL arrows on the candles and also alerts for manual trading.

Usage. The indicator can work on all pairs including commodities as well as on any timeframe. However, as it is basically a trend signal, a trend following strategy is used on higher timeframes (H1 or H4).

Entry on closing of candle, on which a signal appears, lets the indicator follow the trend. Also, place take profit and stop loss. If these values are not hit, close the trade on the opposite signal.

Performance. Following this, you can grab 50+ pips each signal on H1. Use it to get low risk and high rewards.

Initial nursery settling in visit - what to expect?

(4 Posts)
WorrisomeHeart Fri 01-Jul-11 08:26:39

My 8 mth old DS has his first nursery session next week and I was wondering what to expect - is it likely to just be a form-filling exercise with them taking down his info or will we meet his key worker? I know all nurseries are different, just interested to hear others experiences.

KSal Fri 01-Jul-11 09:07:58

At our nursery the first session was spent with his keyworker and me. There was some form filling of the day to day routine type - finding out about dietary requirements, food preferences, comforters, nap times (if any!) . It is a good opportunity to let the keyworker know all the things you think they need to know about your DS.

sessions after that were spent just with the keyworker (i.e. I waited in the building but not in the room with them).

Hope that is helpful!

notcitrus Fri 01-Jul-11 09:18:14

At mine, ds and I joined in in Baby Room and he played while I chatted to the keyworker as they wanted to know anything useful about him and they talked about how they usually went about things - so I explained he really wasn't a routine baby but if he had his blanket would fall asleep anywhere when he felt like it, and they explained the general routine they have but assured me they wouldn't force him into it, but that peer pressure meant it would probably happen naturally after a few weeks. And that they'd keep meals for him if he slept through mealtime.

What they forgot to mention was what I ought to bring with him - they said nappies and wipes and change of clothes, but didn't say A5 book to write daily reports in, sippy cup, or shoes, so I had to run around trying to buy those after his first full day, when I was worried about work!

So we had 2 hours with me there, then a 2-hours without me, then half a day without me, before he started full days. But my ds was always happy to play anywhere new and never cared who was looking after him as long as someone would cuddle him lots. Other children had more settling in with parents.
