HotOperations are Happening at PNMsoft

PNMsoft, a provider of business process management solutions, announced their new program, HotOperations, at this years’ Gartner Enterprise Architecture (EA) Summit.

HotOperations was built on PNMsoft’s patented HotChange architecture, which allows for real-time changes to be made to critical business processes. HotOperations enables operations managers to optimize work allocation in real time, thereby reducing costs, increasing revenue and improving customer service.

“HotOperations is an ideal solution for businesses with large operations and/or call centers,” said James Luxford, CTO, PNMsoft. “Operations managers in these facilities are often challenged with managing complex processes that allocate wide volumes of cases to different departments and teams. These processes are dynamic, and need to change according to factors such as skills, priorities, schedules, milestones or service-level agreements (SLAs).”

HotOperations can automatically assign the majority of cases to the appropriate teams using its intelligent allocation rules. It can also provide operations managers with an intuitive dashboard to view each team’s current work queue. This program allows users to drag and drop cases to assign them to each department, or move them between departments accordingly. HotOperations uses real-time predictive analytics to give insight on the impact that each assignment will have on the overall costs and SLAs, the software will recommend which assignments to make in order to optimize the outcome, taking into account each department and team’s skill level, work schedule, cost of work and performance history.

The goal for HotOperations is to provide operations managers with intelligent real-time work allocation capabilities to realize new savings and improve customer service. “Managing a large operations center comes with unique challenges, namely trying to handle a high volume of cases as quickly as possible without compromising quality of service. We designed HotOperations to help operations managers more easily and effectively manage their casework. With complete visibility into processes and data, operations managers can make smarter, faster decisions, and ultimately make dramatic improvements to customer service and the bottom line,” said Gal Horvitz, CEO, PNMsoft,

PNMsoft’s new software will extremely speed up productivity for companies who implement the technology.

Replaced HTC Touch HD behaving differently

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I've had my Touch HD since November 08 and everything was fine until I dropped it. Luckily I have insurance and the new phone was delivered to me today. Here's the odd thing, if the backlight of my original Touch HD was off and I received an SMS, the phone would just vibrate to alert me but the screen would still be off. With the new phone that I got today, when I receive an SMS, the phone wakes up and stays awake until I look at the SMS. I've searched in Settings and there's no mention of the backlight coming on when receiving an SMS. If I get an SMS in the middle of the night, the screen will be on until I wake up and acknowledge it. Clearly is going to be a problem with battery life if this isn't resolved.

After Googling around a bit I found there's various mention of a Reg Key to adjust, only on this phone, the key isn't there. I looked at Advanced Configuration Tools v3.2 as it lists that it has "Wake up on new SMS" toggle built in. Installed it to my phone and low and behold, the option isn't there.

Anyone know how to turn this feature off?

Thanks for your help everyone!

Pound leads in corrective growth

The British pound took advantage of the confusion in the European market and gained 70 points this morning due to profit taking and easing of pressure of sellers. Speculators of buying the pound take caution on yesterday's unimpressed economic data for the United States. Industrial production increased by 0.7% against expectations of 0.6%, but capacity utilization remained at 78.0%. The number of bookings of new houses in April showed a decrease from 1.34 million to 1.29 million.

Confusion in the dollar caused North Korea's decision to cancel the meeting between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump in Singapore scheduled on June 12, if its does not see the reciprocal positive plans from the US in the nuclear disarmament process of the DPRK.

Today in the United States, the number of applications for unemployment benefits is 216 thousand compared to 211 thousand a week earlier. The business activity index in the manufacturing sector of Philadelphia in May is expected to decrease from 23.2 to 21.1, which may contribute to deepening the correction. We are expecting the pound at 1.3625.

If You Build It...

In Barcelona on June 7, 1926 an unkempt old man shuffled along the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. He was so deep in thought; he didn’t hear the tram that knocked him unconscious.

When the police arrived at the accident, they searched his threadbare clothing for identification.

Finding none, they assumed he was a beggar.

So they took him to the pauper’s hospital at Santa Creu Hospital where he received rudimentary medical care.

By the time a priest confirmed the old man’s identity the following day, his condition had deteriorated and he never regained consciousness.

On June 10, 1926 Antonio Gaudi, one of the most influential architects of the Twentieth Century, died aged 73.

Two days later, thousands of Barcelonians came to the funeral for the architect whose remarkable buildings adorned their city.

They mourned the man who had lain unconscious and unrecognised in the street.

Gaudi’s buildings were flamboyant, but he was not.

Unlike many of his contemporaries he didn’t crave publicity or celebrity.

The man responsible for so much beauty was a deeply devoted Catholic and the last 10 years of his life had been dedicated to building the cathedral Sagrada Familia.

‘’The straight line belongs to men, the curved one to God” Gaudi said, and the building is infused with his love of nature.

Its exuberance originally divided the city.

George Orwell called it, “the ugliest building on earth.”

Gaudi had first become involved with the project in 1883 and gradually it became an obsession.

During the last few months of his life he slept on site in a cot next to his workshop.

He knew the cathedral could not be finished in his lifetime, but it was as if he could not bear to be parted from the nascent building.

Asked about the monumental undertaking he replied, “My client is not in a hurry.”

It was just as well, construction was estimated to last 200 years.

When he died, not even a quarter of the cathedral was finished.

So his close associate Domenec Sugranes became the first of several architects to take charge of the project.

Progress continued to be slow, construction relied entirely on donations.

There were always obstacles, during the Spanish Civil War; the crypt was set on fire.

Eventually conditions improved and following the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, entry fees from visitors would largely fund construction.

In 2005 the still unfinished Sagrada Familia was declared a UNESCO heritage site.

It remains unfinished today.

Even with the introduction of computer aided design and automated stone carving, completion is not scheduled until 2026.

That year that will also mark the 100th anniversary of Gaudí’s death.

There’s a growing movement to make Gaudi a saint.

It’s certainly miraculous that such a colossal undertaking started with a pencil and paper—with an idea.

10 simple tips to make camping with children fun:

Going on a camping trip soon?
By Expert Tips
Date: March 02 2018
Editor Rating:
Anaconda image 3

Are you planning a family camping trip? If you are new to camping, or haven’t camped with kids before, follow our simple tips to make sure you – and they – have a great time camping.

Plan ahead

As any seasoned camper will tell you, it is all down to the preparation. Making sure you have thought of all the essentials beforehand is the best recipe for a relaxed and fun time at your chosen camp site.  Do your homework and make lists of things that need to be done before you go, rather than deciding at 4 pm on the Friday that you will go camping that weekend. Once you are an old hand, many things will become much easier to organise quickly.

Choose a family-friendly campsite

It is worth spending some time checking the facilities provided by various camp sites in your chosen location, or to ask friends for recommendations. Campsites that are geared up for family visits often have handy facilities that will allow you to leave surplus baggage at home. Make sure your chosen campsite is not next to a busy road if your kids are small.

Combine forces

Camping can be twice as much fun with friends, both for the kids as for the parents. If you can, why not combine forces with other members of your family, good friends or fellow parents? The kids will enjoy exploring with their friends, and you will have company for around the camp fire when the kids have gone to bed.

Plan for bad weather

Make sure no-one gets bored on a rainy day by packing some board games, and make sure that you have a lean to or covered area outside your tent – or rig one up with a good-sized tarp and some rope - so that you can put the table and chairs under it and everyone can sit outside but out of the rain.

Involve the kids

Before you go, have a chat with the kids and let them suggest some camp chores that they feel they can do such as fetching water or firewood (check local regulations about camp fires) or helping with preparing meals. They will enjoy being involved and feeling useful and you will not have to worry about them wandering off too much while you are getting things ready.

Play it safe

Make sure you teach your kids about safety from their very first camping trip. That way, you will find it easier to relax and after a few times, they will know exactly what is expected of them too. Agree which areas are out of bounds, or whether they have to stay within your field of vision. Don’t be over-protective and don’t worry too much; falling in a muddy puddle or scraping a knee are all part of outdoor life.

Create family traditions

If you ask grown-ups about camping memories from their childhood, you often hear “we always…”. It can be anything, from sharing songs around the camp fire to a certain food or even a favourite location. Kids love knowing that there is something special about the holiday, something that would not happen at home.

Ban screens

Even though your kids may not like the idea, some firm rules about screen time will make your trip more enjoyable. Once they get out of the habit of boing on their phone or tablet and remember the fun there is to be had in the woods, on the beach or by the river, they will thank you for it – honest!

Take time to play

Make sure that you take time to play ball games with the kids, explore or go on hikes together. The reason you decided to go camping was to be outdoors, spend time together and create new memories, so make sure you make the most of your time together.

Make sure you are comfortable

Camping with kids us great fun but can be exhausting. All that fresh air, activity and “making do” means you ned a good night’s sleep. Make sure that you have enough room inside the tent for everyone to stretch out and not step on each other when moving around during the night, bring a comfortable air bed or camp bed and maybe even bring pillows and a quilt from home rather than struggling with sleeping bags. For a great range of family tents and other camping essentials, check out the Anaconda website where you will find everything you could possibly need for your family camping trip.

Uzicka Republika

The battle of the partisans in Yugoslavia against the Germans and Chetniks has been a subject of enduring fascination for Yugoslavian filmmakers. This epic state-funded film explores the 67 days during which the partisans controlled an area called Uziche and declared it to be a republic. Many stories are woven into this tale, including several love stories. Also featured is Marshall Tito both as portrayed by an actor and in newsreel footage. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

X/Y Sex-Mismatch Transplant SRY/CEP X deletion Yp11.3 by FISH*

Test Code

Test Synonyms

SRY region, Yp11.3/Xp11.1q11.1

Bone marrow, stem cell transplant

Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)
*performed by affiliate laboratory

Turnaround Time

5-7 days

Specimen Requirements

2.0 mL (min. 1.0 mL) peripheral blood in sodium heparin preferred, EDTA accepted
1.0 mL (min. 0.5 mL) bone marrow in sodium heparin preferred, EDTA accepted
5 mm^3 fresh tissue in MPLN RPMI media
3.0 mL (min. 2.0 mL) FNA in MPLN RPMI media
10% neutral buffered formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue

Specimen Stability
Peripheral blood and bone marrow stable at 4-25°C for 72 hours
Fresh tissue or FNA stable at 2-8°C for 72 hours

Storage & Handling

Peripheral blood and bone marrow, Ship with cool pack (refrigerated).
Fresh tissue, FNA or paraffin embedded tissue, ship in a Styrofoam container with a cool/refrigerated pack. (Do not allow cool pack to directly contact sample.)

Causes for Rejection

Clotted specimen; Specimen exposed to extreme temperature; Anticoagulant toxic to cells; Insufficient number of cells; Improper fixative

Reference Range

In a normal male cell, the expected pattern is the one orange, one green signal pattern. In a normal female cell, the two orange single pattern is observed.

Bone marrow transplantation is an essential step in the management of a variety of hematological malignancies. Engraftment success can be assessed in sex-mismatched transplants by determining the sex chromosome constitution in hematopoietic cells from the transplant recipient. FISH is one of the most widely used procedures for evaluating engraftment success and for the early detection of graft failure. The CEP X/Y FISH test can be performed on interphase cells or metaphase spreads to determine the proportion of cell derived from the donor versus those derived from the recipient. The identification of chimerism (the presence of two distinct cell lines, one population from the donor and the other population from the recipient) is predictive of imminent relapse and thus impacts treatment decisions.

The CEP X/Y probe mixture is an FDA-cleared assay that utilizes probes specific for the centromeric regions of the X and Y chromosomes. A female pattern is determined by the detection of two orange signals, while a male pattern is identified by the presence of one orange and one green signal. A mixture of male and female cells is consistent with the presence of chimerism.

FISH can detect this in interphase and metaphase cells.

My 12-hours layover to sight-see Hong Kong attractions failed

Hong Kong attractions and buildings

Layovers can be boring or exciting. It depends on how you make the most out of it but most of the times, it surely depends if the Passport Control officers allow you to pass the gate without sacrificing a chicken to the travel gods. HAHA! My trip to Bulgaria was surely a long one and with the 12 hours layover in Hong Kong, it seems like forever! But all thanks to the visa-free policy, I had the chance to sight-see these Hong Kong attractions… or not.

Travel fails are always part of every adventure stories. I won’t be surprised if I chitchat another of those “lost in somewhere” stories in this blog because I know very well that I’m not good with directions. And while some of these misadventures are minimal, there are also one of those embarrassing and hard to move on experiences. Guess what? The same thing happened during my quick layover in Hong Kong. What was supposed to be a fruitful adventure turned out to be something… unexpected. To make the long story short, let’s just say that I got lost most of the time I was out, I had no internet connection to get me back on track, and none of the attractions that I wanted to see were nearby. Anyway, at the end of the day, I was still able to see these Hong Kong attractions for the first time and I think I still deserve a tap at the back for it.

Arriving at Hong Kong International Airport

I was already kicking even before the plane landed. I immediately connected to the airport’s wifi, checked-in in Facebook, and quickly looked for information how to get out from the airport. I almost forgot that I have a baggage to claim!

First time in Hong Kong? Here’s your general checklist upon arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport.

1. Filling up the Arrival Card

All non-residents are required to fill up the Arrival Card before going to the Passport Control. These will be given to you by the airport crew before your plane lands in Hong Kong. In cases where you lost or misplaced your Arrival Card, don’t worry, you can still get a copy before entering the Passport Control section. There’s a table in the middle of the hall where you can get Arrival Cards and fill them up there. It’s usually easy to see because of the crowd.

2. Clearing the Passport Control

Now that you have filled up the Arrival Card correctly, clearing the passport control is just quick and easy. Most of the time the officers are not talking so you just have to hand them your passport (out from the passport holder) and arrival card. Then, you’ll receive a small piece of paper which indicates how many days you’re allowed to stay in Hong Kong. Keep that paper with you all throughout your visit.

3. Claiming your baggage

If you checked-in a luggage then this is the next step for you. Otherwise, why bother waiting for nothing? HAHA! You can walk past the belts and exit.

If you have to claim your bag, just look for your flight number on the information screen in every belt. You can sit on the benches and enjoy the fast wifi connection at the airport while waiting. For my part, I was already busy familiarizing the location of the Hong Kong attractions that I want to see.

4. Exchanging currency

Many would say that the best place to exchange currency in Hong Kong is in Mongkong but since I’m not sure if I can go there, I decided to exchange my bills in the airport. (and thank God I didn’t risk)

5. Getting your way out

After getting your luggage and ensuring that you have cash, you are now ready to face Asia’s World City. So grab your map and prepare to sightsee and taste the best of Hong Kong.

Airport Express and Double-deck bus

I took the Airport Express from Hong Kong International Airport to Kowloon Station.

Hong kong double deck buses

Trains are the cheapest and fastest way to travel from one city to the other. Also, these double-deck buses can also be spotted all over the city. Afraid that I might take the wrong bus and screw up again, I chose to walk and skip the bus.

Hong Kong’s skyscrapers

Hong Kong skyscraper

So as you can see, this is not the side which I was supposed to exit. I wonder what the other side looks like though. Will I be able to see more towering buildings like these?

Kowloon Park

I didn’t expect to see these lovely creatures at the park. I stayed the most with the flamingos because it was my first time to see such beauty. I can see that park-goers were also amused with them most especially the kids and kids at heart… like me!

Kowloon park

Would be a nice place to take a break from the exhausting misadventure. Ice cream, please!

Avenue of Comic Stars in Kowloon

I’m not a comic fan but it was fun walking around the Avenue of Comic Stars. I have to admit, I don’t really know these comic figures but I think I saw them somewhere. I think…

Anyway, if you are a huge comic fan, I’m pretty sure you’ll be jumping around and will not miss a selfie with these life-size figures.

Yes! I walked far enough to get here. I can’t imagine how tired I was already but I’m happy to be just in time for the sunset.

Victoria Harbour

Victoria Harbour

The popular Victoria Harbour right before my eyes! Originally, I planned on taking the ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island and vice versa but then shit happened so I didn’t have the chance to. I just watched the stunning sunset among with other overwhelmed tourists. It was magical… not until I realized that I still have a plane to catch and I don’t know how to go back to the airport.

See you again, Hong Kong!

Never had the chance to enjoy these beautiful Hong Kong attractions but I will surely come back to make things right. If you like what you read, please don’t hesitate to share this with your friends. Also, a little repin will be appreciated!

So, which Hong Kong attractions can you recommend for my next visit? Comment down below!

Rev. Al Sharpton speaking at The Oxford Union in January, 2015.

Sharpton: ‘America is in transition’

“You can’t fight for civil rights for anyone, unless you fight for it for everyone,” Rev. Al Sharpton told a crowd Friday evening in Oxford, England.

The reverend addressed a packed hall at The Oxford Union Society, Britain’s second oldest university union. Every year, Oxford Union attracts esteemed international figures to address its members. Past speakers include U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa.

Rev. Sharpton used this opportunity to detail similarities between Britain and America in the fight for equal treatment under the law. He highlighted the cases of Eric Garner and Michael Brown and their subsequent protests as examples.

“The challenge, I think, that we face now is that you’ve got to deal with questioning the law enforcement, but at the same time deal with supporting what is appropriate to protect all of us – particularly in the communities where we have a disproportionate amount of crime,” Sharpton said.

Before taking questions, Rev. Sharpton pointed out that he’s definitely witnessed progress in community relations in the U.K. More than two decades ago he led a march there for Roland Adams, a young man who was killed by a self-described white supremacist mob. During that march, he met the boy’s mother and aunt.

“This morning, that aunt reintroduced herself to me. She’s a member of the House of Lords in England. In 24-years she went from just protesting to being in a position of power. That shows the ability to change.” he said.

 He says he is ultimately hopeful some of his proposed reformation to the criminal justice system, like special funding for an independent investigator in police-involved shootings and new police training, will help improve community relations stateside too:

“The America under Barack Obama is not the same America that it was under James Madison or Thomas Jefferson, and it will not be the same 100 years from now, if we keep on fighting. So as you wrestle with this question of ‘Is American institutionally racist?’ my answer is: America is in transition. And that transition will occur, and continue to occur.”

On Saturday, Rev. Sharpton holds a rally at the University of Westminster. Sunday, he preaches at a church in London before heading back to the U.S.

A Sadie Saxton Sighting And Fan Video Have Us Pumped For 'Awkward.' Season 3!

Can you already hear the infamous "You're welcome"?

Ah, love bitchy, biting remarks are in the air! Trust us, we know that coping with the absence of "Awkward" has been impossibly tough, and though we're not sure where Season 3 is headed, it's comforting to know that Palos Hills High School is officially back in session. Last night, Molly Tarlov tweeted, "#shesback," along with the Sadie Saxton shot above. Better make yourself sparse, nerds and squares--the HBIC is suiting up.

If Molls outfitted in the PHHS blue and gold isn't enough to quench your "Awkward" thirst, take a gulp of this: Fans have been channeling Sadie Saxton on the interwebz as part of a new mash-up video that features them trying out their best impersonations of the cheerleader. From "Time to embrace bulimia" to "As expected, you're useless," some of Sadie's best one-liners are below. We can already feel the sting of her icy, cold hostility, and it hurts so good.

2011 Mustang Demand Heating Up, 11,000 Orders Placed Already

March 1, 2010 Mustang News 10 Comments

2011MustangGT5.0-2Demand for the 2011 Ford Mustang is heating up even though no models have been produced yet.  Since the order banks opened on January 18th customers have placed 11,000 orders for the 2011 Mustang GT, V-6 and Shelby GT500 models.  Production on the 2011 Mustang is slated for some time in April with models arriving at dealerships nationwide in early May.

Of the 11,000 orders placed so far 50 percent of those are for the V-6 Mustang, 41 percent are for the Mustang GT and 9 percent are for the Shelby GT500.  The overwhelming choice thus far is the V-6 Mustang which receives a 305 horsepower 3.7-liter V-6 engine capable of 30 mpg.

 The 2011 Mustang GT receives the all-new 5.0-liter V-8 with 412 horsepower.  The Shelby GT500 recieves a new all-aluminum block 5.4-liter engine with 550 horsepower.

For more on the 2011 Mustang orders check out the press release below

Press Release:

The new 2011 Ford Mustang with all-new powertrains has  three times more orders than the 2010 model in its first month, and half of all nationwide orders are for the car’s class-leading 30 mpg 3.7-liter V-6 engine.
“Fuel economy ranks among the top two reasons people choose vehicles,” said Steve Ling, North America Car Marketing manager. “With the 2011 Mustang lineup, we’ve found a way to offer even better fuel efficiency for V-6, GT and even Shelby GT500 performance drivers – while improving performance. And consumers are responding.”
Nearly 11,000 Mustangs have been ordered since order banks opened in late January.
Fifty percent of the 2011 Mustang orders are for V-6 models, which feature a new, high-performance, all-aluminum Duratec 3.7-liter dual overhead-cam (DOHC) Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) engine. This new engine delivers 305 horsepower and an expected best-in-class EPA fuel efficiency of 30 mpg on the highway – a 25 percent improvement versus the 2010 model.
2011 Mustang V-6 order levels are up 19 percent versus the new 2010 model orders.
“The new engine transforms Mustang,” Ling said. “Everything people love about the car lives on, and now under the hood is a V-6 engine that uses premium technology to deliver the power, the feel, the fuel efficiency, even the sound of the best sports cars in the world.”
A first-ever Mustang Club of America (MCA) Special Edition package available on V-6 models generated three times more orders than expected. Plus, “take rates” on the California Special series – which is available on the Mustang GT and harkens back to the original 1968 feature vehicle – are triple the expected rates.
2011 Mustangs also are being equipped with record levels of technology. Navigation is specified on 18 percent of orders. High-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps are on 26 percent of vehicles. Rear-view cameras are on 10 percent – all up from 2010.
For the 2011 model, 41 percent of orders are for Mustang GTs.
The Mustang GT’s modern 5.0-liter four-valve, Ti-VCT V-8 engine delivers 412 horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. of torque. At the same time, fuel economy of 25 mpg highway is projected to be better than the previous model and unsurpassed in the segment.
Approximately 9 percent of the 2011 Mustang orders are for Shelby GT500 models, which are powered by an all-new aluminum-block 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 engine. This produces 550 horsepower and 510 ft.-lb. of torque, a 10 horsepower increase versus the 2010 model. The engine also is 102 pounds lighter than its predecessor, delivering a better power-to-weight ratio, improved fuel economy, acceleration, handling and steering precision.
“Mustang is ready for a new generation of buyers,” Ling said. “With new high-tech and fuel-efficient engines, class-leading connectivity and infotainment options as well as signature style and performance, Mustang is poised to continue its legacy as America’s favorite sports car.”

Mosquito and West Nile Virus Awareness and Precautions

From The Sonoma County Gazette
April 23, 2018

The end of the late rains and beginning of warm weather is the ideal time for an increase in mosquito populations. Our vector control technicians have documented over 800 new sources of mosquito production in the October 2017 burn areas. These sources include swimming pools, spas, compromised septic systems, and depressions caused by the removal of foundations and debris.

In addition to monitoring and controlling mosquitoes in other parts of the District’s service area, vector control technicians will continue to work diligently to identify current and potential sources of mosquito production on properties impacted by the fires. Water sources found to be producing mosquitoes will be treated with environmentally compatible mosquito larvicides to control mosquito populations and minimize the potential for mosquito-borne disease transmission. The District will be leaving an informational sheet on properties where mosquito production is an issue and mosquito control is necessary.

#BeBoldForChange on International Women’s Day 2017

#BeBoldForChange on International Women’s Day 2017

As people around the world celebrate the achievements of women for International Women’s Day this week, we wanted to recognise our managing director, Fiona Swaffield, and hopefully inspire other women around the world to be bold and take action as she has over the years.

For those who aren’t familiar with the global campaign, International Women’s Day (on 8th March) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. This year’s theme is #BeBoldForChange, which is a call on the masses to help forge a better working world – a more gender inclusive world. Each person is challenged to take ground-breaking action that truly drives the greatest change for women.

As the leader of two predominantly female-staffed companies, Fiona feels passionately about gender parity and helping the women she manages to grow, with her ultimate dream to have the team develop sufficiently to be able to manage a MY PA office in cities all over the world.

You may or may not have been aware that MY PA is not Fiona’s only business, nor something that she had any experience of or education in prior to taking over the reins here at MY PA. You could say it was a bold move, and it certainly hasn’t been the only one in her career that has led her to where she is now.

Originally from the UK, Fiona’s background was in event organisation and business management. Starting her career in restaurant management in Oxford, England, she soon moved on to London’s club scene, where she spent many years as an after dark entrepreneur managing live music venues and nightlife hotspots.

In 1999, Fiona bit the bullet and moved to Dubai, bringing her diverse experience and effervescent personality to the international hospitality and events industry, initially working for Le Meridien Mina Seyahi hotel, but soon taking the plunge to co-create her own highly successful events agency, Siren Events, which she continues to run now as event director and managing partner. This was perhaps her boldest moment, newly divorced in Dubai and with no regular income and bills to pay and animals to feed, but this gave her the drive to succeed. She never once allowed herself to see failure as an option.

After more than a decade in the region, and after using the administrative support services herself, Fiona identified a gap in the market for the provision of premium quality driven business and lifestyle management services, and become managing partner of MY PA in 2014.

Now the director of two successful companies in the UAE, Fiona manages a handpicked team of dedicated and personable consultants here at MY PA who bring the efficiency, insight and focus that she prides herself on, to every business the company works with. She believes strongly in having a good work-life balance, and as a mentor to her team, tries to instil this in each and every staff member.

Fiona credits using MY PA services as the main factor in allowing her to grow her other company, Siren Events, and loves nothing more than meeting and helping other small business owners to grow their businesses. As a client herself, she is a true believer in the service offered, and gets her inspiration from watching the team work together to support clients, and of course from our clients themselves openly sharing how having a PA has changed their lives (we’re frequently referred to as a ‘godsend’ she tells us!)

With most of our clients coming from the SME sector, Fiona has noticed a definite increase in the number of female business leaders here in the UAE, with 50% of our clients now being women. This is a particularly encouraging sign that the call for parity may well be being heard, in the UAE at least. However, The World Economic Forum predicts the gender gap won’t close until 2186, which is clearly way too late. Moving forward, Fiona believes that male and female colleagues should be treated the same as part of an inclusive office culture. Meanwhile, here in the UAE, she would like to see more clarity and flexibility regarding freelance and part-time visas for women who wish to re-enter the workforce after having children.

We have been inspired by Fiona, and we hope you have too. Every one of us can be a leader within our spheres of influence and it’s time to step up and do all we can to try and reduce the gender gap, and it doesn’t need to be hugely ground-breaking time consuming action. Think about what you can do, whether it’s sharing and celebrating the achievements of women, taking female junior staff members to client or sales meetings, challenging organizers of all-male speaking panels, launching a female-focused initiative, educating boys and men about stereotypes and violence against women, nominating women for senior jobs, donating time to a female-focused charity, mentoring a woman, or setting an inclusive tone in the workplace. We all, men and women alike, have a responsibility, so join us and #BeBoldForChange in 2017 and beyond.

Education and Counseling for Individuals Affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders

COMMENTS & QUESTIONS [for July, 2016]

Do you need some assistance in parenting your Aspergers or HFA child? Click here to use Mark Hutten, M.A. as your personal parent coach.

Mr. Hutten,
I have watched and read a good chunk of the Living with an Asperger's Partner, and find it unbelievably helpful.  I know that I emailed previously and you were booked as far as your schedule, but if you have anything open up and could offer my husband and I some counseling we would be enormously grateful.

Thank you,

I have a daughter who is nearing three, We suspected that she had seizures, but her eeg and mri were normal. I still believe she has mild seizures, but that's not the point here. She has frequent meltdowns and severe separation anxiety. She obsesses about a specific food, and when we run out, it's major tantrum time. Her food obsession changes frequently so it's impossible to keep it in the house at all times. Most of the foods aren't healthy either. Do I give her another ice cream, or deal with the tantrum that is likely to ensue. I try to strike a balance between setting limits and understanding that she is different than other children and requires more understanding. She recently started occupational therapy. They said she had "lots of red flags" suggesting she was autistic, but the official diagnosis has to come from a doctor or a psychologist. In my heart I know she is autistic. She is very good at problem solving and very strong willed. She has boundless energy then crashes and just wants to rest for awhile. She has a hard time in social situations. She is finally warming up to a few friends outside of our immediate family, but she is not a "play with the group" type of child. I find her doing things or playing in very inefficient ways sometimes. If I try to change the system she has going, she gets upset. I've learned to let it be. Sorry for such a long message, but I'm wondering if your program can help? I'm constantly reading and researching something. I love to learn, especially when it comes to my child and what I can do for her. I work from home as a freelance writer, and there are days (like today) where I find it very difficult to work because she seems to need my attention constantly. I want her to be the best that she can be. I want to raise her with more understanding and love than I recieved growing up. I understand that I have to parent her differently than "normal children", but those waters can be very hard to navigate.

I've been reading and listening to your program for young adults with Aspergers. Our son is almost 21 and currently a student at University of Illinois at Urbana, majoring in Computer Science. He'll be a senior this Fall

He has always had the symptoms of AS but not diagnosed formally. He is very socially immature, can't make friends, prefers to be alone, was bullied and picked on during his primary school years. With some guidance from a psychologist, he was able to graduate from high school with honors and got into a very good college for the field he loves, computer science. But his social skills have not improved while in college.

He has been living on his own in an campus apt for the last 2 years.  He couldn't take living with a roommate. He spends most of his free time in the apt by himself. He seldom socializes as he can't fit in with the kids he likes and doesn't approve of the kids who do accept him.

He has gotten menial jobs on campus but this summer was his first internship at Enova. He was very excited and proud to land this internship. Ian doesn't know he has AS and so the employer didn't have any idea what to expect. Due to his behavior, Ian was fired after only 3 weeks of an 11 week internship. According to the supervisor, Ian wasn't a team player, wasn't empathetic, late to meetings, code was illegible. Ian is a brillliant coder but doesn't like to work in teams. All signs of AS

His supervisor brought him in one day and told Ian about his bad performance and of course Ian had no idea he was performing so badly. He had a meltdown in the office, probably cried and shut down. He was told to go home early and calm down and decide if he wanted to stay or not. Apparently, ian wanted to stay, but then he was 10 mins late for another meeting, and that's when he was fired.  It almost seems like he wanted to be fired.

He let us know he wanted to come home for the summer, but we told him to stay in his campus apt. We told him he had to find another job for the summer, but he's just sent out resumes and not done much else except playing around with a new keyboard, that Dad let him buy with our money

I'm not sure whether we should tell Ian he probably has AS, and to suggest he get tested and give him some websites or specialists to check out so he can work on workplace and social skills.  There are special programs geared towards integrating AS into IT jobs like the one Microsoft and SAP offers. I want him to figure out what he needs to do on his own, But I'm not sure he would know what to do next without some guidance from a therapist or mentor

So, I was wondering what could you offer Ian, as a Life Coach?  I just trying to figure out what we can do without enabling him even more.  Right now, we are paying for college, apt, food, clothes, anything he wants or needs. I think we need to wean him off of relying on us as a source of income to buy everything - so he tries harder to find and keep a job.

I was looking for help because of my aspergers son who is 15 years old. I recently did a no no in your book which is that you said aspergers kids need routine. I brook one of his routine/schedule/activity which was that I promised I would give his internet back but didn't because I saw it going so well that he blew up on me. Since then I've been dealing w/trust issues. I do see where I went wrong w/this but he doesn't seem to forgive me. We had a great bond prior to this where he would eat with me, watch tv, and everything seemed to be the best it could. After this incident, I noticed he views me differently now. As if I'm some lying person and questions everything I say. I do feel like I’m walking on egg shells now and he gives me attitude which I normally don't tolerate as I am that assertive parent but I feel like I lost all points with him.

I am desperately trying to go back to that place I was with him before. he would smile one minute with me and without me doing anything, he would flip the switch. He purposely tells me he knows something but won't tell me. In your book, I know you're saying that's them trying to get control.

I need some advice for my teen.
He is 14 and all of the problems listed are what we struggle with.
His defiance and disrespect has been really challenging.
He does not have common sense when making decisions and has struggled with friendships.
His plea for more independence and his defiance led me to allow him to
travel out of state to his grandparents and work with them for the summer.

After 5 days there he has accidentally lit a fire causing building damage to the family business while
experimenting with matches and gasoline.
He has never been in trouble before, and I have been a very protective mother as well an advocate for him.
He will have to deal with a consequence, and would like to know what you suggest?
Community service or Military camp?
I’m worn out and need some support as he approaches high school in August.
I fear he will have more freedom and get in trouble.

I have sent him to a small private school this past year, and hired multiple
life coach academic tutors as he responds better to them than his parents.

All of this is breaking our budget and I’m out of money and resources so I found you online.
Please help!

Hello Dr.Hutten! My son Hugh is almost eleven. For 9 month he has been a resident at Green Chimneys school in Brewster NY. His unusual behaviour started at age 4.5. His diagnosis within 5 years went from opp.def. disorder to not specified depressive disorder with anxiety as of last month. I suspect that he has Aspergers. The school gives me runaround and the reg. Psy nurse that makes all decisions tells me that they ruled Aspergers out without test.!  I don't know what I should do next. Please help. Sincerely Natasha

Hi Mark,

Thank you so much for your online resource like the e-book, audio and videos. My husband and I feel so confident that we can guide our son, a 13 year old boy with typical Asperger syndrome to the right direction. All of those strategies like the art of saying Yes, Art of saying No, turn on and turn off the intensity, 6 steps to face the unexpected issues work pretty well.

Here I still need you suggestion to handle  the following specific situations.

Two days ago, I drove my son to his music class. Of course, on the road he picked his favorite topic ( He always said he doesn't like his younger sister, he just wants a younger brother, not a younger sister. He treated her as we adopted her. He  wants to be the only child and I  should tell everyone I met he is my only child etc. My husband and I tried to avoid talking about his favorite topic, so we told him we don't want to talk about this topic. We treat your younger sister and you equally and so on. It seems it doesn't work. He continued to pick up this topic and tried to convince me(not my husband, he doesn't care my husband treat his younger sister well but he can't tolerate I am close to my daughter) to say that he is my only child. This time, when he talked about this topic in the car, I said " I don't want to talk about this topic and I have  repeated a lot of times that we treat you two equally and fairly. What I care is the progress you made recently, what's your plan for your future. You are smart and you have ability to be successful if you focus on developing yourself. Then he responded that he doesn't want to talk about his future and he will not go to the lesson. Finally he didn't take the lesson even though I drove him to the teacher's house. I don't want to argue with him and immediately I gave him consequence I will not talk to him for three days. My son loves to talk with me and to stay with me, but he also loves to repeat the above topic when he stays with me. Today is the second day since I have not talked to him, he feel so frustrated and he desperately want to speak with me. I told him I will not talk to him until tomorrow since I need one more day to calm down.

Here is my question. I am not sure how to handle the above topic if he asked me again. Always saying that  I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS TOPIC seems it is not enough to prevent my son not to  mention this topic again.  Tomorrow evening I will put away my poker face and will talk to him again. Here is my thought--I will say, Hi son, I realized that you have the ability not to pick the topic about your younger sister. I am happy.  I don't like what your said two days ago. In our family, Dad and Mom treat your sister and you equally and fairly. Both of you are my kids and we love you two equally. Your past three days' behavior earned me to talk to you again and I don't want to talk with you about this topic again. If you choose to repeat this topic, I will not talk to you for another three days. Do you have any thought or suggestion for me to handle this situation? Please help.

I'm trying to come up with a behavior contract for my teenage daughter. A month and a half ago she ran away to spend time with an overage boy. She had just gotten grounded for sluffing school and totally lying about trying to get her grades up before the end of the year (She failed 4 out of 8 classes). Anyway, I reported her as a runaway and to avoid being brought home she made false accusations of child abuse. (She did something very similar about a yr ago)  so cps got involved and the allegations didn't even lead to an investigation. I signed over temp custody under the belief that my daughter would b placed somewhere with counceling and supervision. After a month and a half of my daughter pretty much being on vacation at a group home with little supervision I took back custody and we are waiting for an appointment with a couselor in our area. In the mean time, I want to make sure she understands what she did wrong, why she's lost privileges and ensure she's not going to repeat the behavior. Any ideas or suggested websites with free resources would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mark,

Thank you so very much.  I have been married for twenty years and it has been hell and a struggle for much of it.  We found a counselor that believes this is what we are dealing with.  I read your information on your video links and it is unbelievable how it fits the bill.  FINALLY, something to explain all the chaos and "weirdness" to name a few.

I was diagnosed with cancer then an auto immune disease recently (past couple of years) and how he coped, took job two states away leaving me with three kids to care for was the breaking point for me.
My concern is for my general health and well being, as it has always been about him and his needs all these years.  If there was anything reciprocal it seemed only deemed when it benefitted him to a degree. I feel terrible saying that as there is a kindness to him that I believe is what originally attracted me to him.

I have two 15 year olds and a 12 year (who I believe has a case of Aspergers(milder than his dad as he has had interventions/therapies due to his expressive language issues and dyslexia-he has been incredibly stressful over the years but we are making headway and will continue to do so now that I know about Asperger's)

I don't know if I want to break up this family, but it is so hard and my health.  I think my 15 year old is more developmentally ahead in many respects.

Any thoughts is appreciated.  I know you are busy.  He hasn't been told by our marriage counselor (who is delightful) about his thoughts on my husband having Asperger's but he is going to be next week, I believe.

Good afternoon Mark,

I have some questions for you that I'm hoping you'll be able to help me out with.  My very dear friend, has a 6 year-old boy who displays a lot of the problematic behaviors and issues associated with high functioning Aspergers.  She can't seem to pinpoint how to deal with a lot of these issues and is struggling to connect with her son and figure out how to best combat these issues and connect with him.  My family and I are the only ones that have interacted with her son on almost a daily basis since he was a baby, so this isn't a determination I came at lightly.

He has been a very bright child since the age of 2, when he started reading on his own.  He has been able to teach himself not only how to read, but play the piano as well.  Yet, he struggles with all of the problems you outlined on your website:
  • aggression
  • appearing to be "in one's own little world"
  • difficulty regulating social/emotional responses with anger
  • difficulty with transitions
  • excessive anxiety
  • hyperactivity
  • odd verbal responses
  • preference for a set routine
  • problems sustaining simple conversations
  • tendency to avoid spontaneous social interactions
  • tendency to be perseverative or repetitive when conversing
  • tendency to over-focus on particular objects or subjects
  • tendency to show very weak skills in interactions

While I'm not an expert, I've realized these behaviors go in line with HFA, but because of the nature of the issue and sensitivity I have refrained from stating what his issue may be.  My friend values and trusts my opinion and knowledge in many areas, but I don't want to jeopardize our friendship in pointing out that her son may have HFA.

One thing I must point out, is that my friend homeschool's her two boys.  So the issues that arise with her son that potentially has HFA aren't being recognized in a regular school setting.  Other friends and people he comes in contact with through church or play dates just consider him to be extremely bright and quirky.

How can I best lay out this information to her, in a way that is sensitive and loving?  I have an idea, but wanted to know your thoughts.  I would truly appreciate any input and guidance that you can share with me.  I realize you are very busy, but I'm hoping you can help me, so that I can help my dear friend.

Mr. Hutten,
Your blog has defined problems between myself and my husband to a tee.  We are in Tampa, Florida and could use some serious counseling by someone who understands the Aspie/neurotypical marriage and unique challenges.  We have married eighteen years with many challenges along the way, but I have hit a wall and need some help to sustain the marriage.  Do you offer online counseling to couples?

Thank you so much,

Apologies in advance for this long note, but we have tried so many things and some web research led me to you. I just want to ask you if you think your approach can help before I invest in it (emotionally not financially; the money is not the point). I feel like we keep trying everything we can. I read, I educate myself. My husband and I even attended Total Transformation training sessions and we tried that. We don’t agree on everything, but we try hard to work together. We are at the end of our rope and we just want to help our son and heal this rift in our family.

My son is now 18. He has been incredibly challenging and oppositional since he was about 3 years old. We did both individual and group therapy as he was growing up. The diagnosis was ADHD and/or ODD. There is bipolar in my husband’s family, but we were told you couldn’t really diagnose that until they are older. We tried Adderall at one point when he was in 3rd or 4th grade, but it did not work. It actually slowed him down and made him apathetic and what I’d call “darker” in spirit. At that point, I started to think maybe it was bipolar and he also showed some Asperger’s qualities in terms of relationships/social skills.

He had 504s at school and we did lots of behavior modification through their programs. He stopped counseling when he was in 8th grade because he wasn’t trying, wasn’t working with the therapists and said he didn’t need to go. At his request, he went back to counseling right at the beginning of sophomore year. He said he was having panic attacks. He tried an antidepressant and that seemed to help. It “took the edge off” and he was more approachable. He went for about four months and then said he was fine and went off the antidepressant. He seemed to be coming around and was doing better on all counts: behavior, school, social skills, etc. We still had some incidents, but it felt like we were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Going into his senior year, he started out with a 3.4 GPA and hopes of going on to college to become a doctor. He was hanging out with a good group of friends and seemed very happy.

But then he met a girl right before his 18th birthday in October of last year and it all started to crash. I’m not blaming her. She seemed nice enough, but there were no rules at her house and her mom worked two jobs and did not really look out for her. She was kind of on her own and my son started to as he said, “take care of her.” He would drive her to and from work, to school and everywhere she needed to go. He would buy food for her and even take care of her pets (food, paying for going to the vet). But he grew increasingly controlling with her. He spent all is his money and time with her. He started telling her what to wear and who she could talk to. He actually said he “owned” her at one point. They broke up and made up a few times over the past six months. In that time, he started breaking all the rules at home, staying out past curfew or all night saying he “fell asleep” at her house after driving her home from work. He became increasingly disrespectful and even aggressive in tone, words and gestures. His grades started to really slip.

We laid down the rules again and restated consequences in March – up to and including asking him to leave and go out own if he did not want to follow the house rules. We also said we would call the cops or a crisis unit if he threatened us. That seemed to backfire and he got worse. He became angrier and was verbally abusive. He also got physically abusive with me one night in April after I told him to stop badgering his girlfriend. I must admit that I gave his arm a little slap, which was my bad. But he was really going on and on about something, talking over her and not letting her speak. He grabbed my arms and pushed me against our kitchen cabinets. He never did anything like that again, but he has puffed up his chest with his father and “gotten in his face.”

After that incident with me, we told him he needed to see a therapist again if he wanted to continue to live in our home. He agreed. Of course, it takes so long to find someone and to get an appointment that he didn’t start going right away. Then he started skipping school or going in late and racking up detentions. He was disrespectful to one of his teachers and the school office staff. He started getting in trouble and was asked to leave school and stay off school property and not attend any events like graduation. He was failing two classes anyway – English and Phys Ed – and there was no way to pass. The school arranged for me to sign him up for online courses so he could get his diploma.

He and his girlfriend broke up the night before she was to graduate. He went to her house and destroyed things he had bought for her (clothes, stuffed animals and even her graduation gown). Of course she called the police and got a restraining order. Plus, since he entered her house and destroyed property, there are other more serious charges pending and we had to hire a lawyer.

He is in therapy and has been going two times a week since this all happened. I’m not sure if it is helping. He keeps to himself and it is very hard to talk to him. He pushes me away, not physically, but just saying “bye-bye” and shutting his bedroom door. He will not allow me to walk into his room. He gets up and stands in the doorway. He will not do the online courses, so he is not getting his high school diploma. At first he said he was and was having trouble posting work, but I’m pretty sure he was lying. He is paying us back and I told him we need to also set up a payment plan for his legal fees. He is going to his job, but that’s about all. Once in a while, he sees one or two of his old friends. He doesn’t seem to care about his future and says if we don’t want to pay for the lawyer he will go to jail.

FYI, his therapist says he has Borderline Personality Disorder and attachment issues. The descriptions ring true, but he did not suffer abuse and neglect as a child to the best of our knowledge. He did have quite a few caregivers in his early years because we moved and then he was asked to leave a few daycare centers for biting or behavior issues. We were not perfect parents, but we cared for him, we played with him and we loved him. We had lots of family time together. The advice on parenting these RAD kids is overwhelming and much of it is directed to younger kids, but it makes sense in an odd way and helps us understand where he is coming from even though it logically makes no sense to us. In fact, I found your site on a link from a site on RAD.

I share all of this because I want to ask you if you think you can help me.

My husband and I desperately want to understand what is going on with him and get on the same page with something we can do together to help him. Some plan, approach or tactics to help us get our son back, at least to the way he was before when we could talk to him and he would even listen sometimes!

Hi Mark,

First of all, I want to say how thrilled I am that I have stumbled onto your book. I have been frustrated in my 16 year marriage for at least the last ten. I have essentially given up on it.
My husband has not been diagnosed with Aspergers, but I am convinced the he is an Aspie. Everything that has been said on the videos has received a resounding “YES” from me. I am
in that limbo between accepting a dreary marriage and life or leaving my husband.
I can hardly wait to start reading or listening to it.

Our son is 28 years old and as a child was diagnosed with Aspergers.  We did not receive much help from the medical profession.  While growing up, he had problems getting along with others at school and we had difficulties disciplining his bad behaviour and angry outbursts.  He is very intelligent and has a great interest in computers and electronics.

Since graduating high school, he has taken a computer networking course at a community college but did not put this to use in the working world.  He has used marijuana heavily in the past which only complicated his life.  He has had problems getting along with family, friends, and coworkers and has gone through many different jobs, mostly working in the restaurant business doing kitchen work.   He has made a lot of bad decisions and doesn't seem to learn from his experiences.  He is not good with money and often has to borrow from us to make ends meet.  He is presently taking a university business course and hopes to start his own business.  I am not sure if this is a realistic goal for him.  He is not good managing finances and doesn't like to plan things out.

He has moved in and out of our home several times.  While living with us, he could be very critical and unpleasant to live with.  For the sake of my sanity, we cannot allow him to move back.  He has a small apartment and if needed, we help him with the rent.  He just quit his summer( part time during the school year) job working in a restaurant and has plans to open a kiosk working with electronics in the mall.  He has no backup plan on how to support himself.  His credit is bad and I am sure he will be unable to get a loan to start a business.  He is angry with us because we are not supporting him in this venture.   I think it's a bad idea.

My question, is there some place where parents can learn how to deal with this kind of behaviour when the children are all grown up and haven't had the benefit of learning how to socialize and manage their symptoms when they were younger?  There is no way he would acknowledge that he has a problem or go for help.  We have tried several times.

My child has been rejected by his peers, ridiculed and bullied !!!

Social rejection has devastating effects in many areas of functioning. Because the Aspergers child tends to internalize how others treat him, rejection damages self-esteem and often causes anxiety and depression. As the child feels worse about himself and becomes more anxious and depressed – he performs worse, socially and intellectually.

How to Prevent Meltdowns in Aspergers Children

Meltdowns are not a pretty sight. They are somewhat like overblown temper tantrums, but unlike tantrums, meltdowns can last anywhere from ten minutes to over an hour. When it starts, the Asperger's child is totally out-of-control. When it ends, both you and the Asperger’s child are totally exhausted. But... don’t breathe a sigh of relief yet. At the least provocation, for the remainder of that day -- and sometimes into the next - the meltdown can return in full force.

Parenting Defiant Aspergers Teens

Although Aspergers is at the milder end of the autism spectrum, the challenges parents face when disciplining a teenager with Aspergers are more difficult than they would be with an average teen. Complicated by defiant behavior, the Aspergers teen is at risk for even greater difficulties on multiple levels – unless the parents’ disciplinary techniques are tailored to their child's special needs.

Aspergers Children “Block-Out” Their Emotions

Parenting children with Aspergers and HFA can be a daunting task. In layman’s terms, Aspergers is a developmental disability that affects the way children develop and understand the world around them, and is directly linked to their senses and sensory processing. This means they often use certain behaviors to block out their emotions or response to pain.

Older Teens and Young Adult Children With Aspergers Still Living At Home

Your older teenager or young “adult child” isn’t sure what to do, and he is asking you for money every few days. How do you cut the purse strings and teach him to be independent? Parents of teens with Aspergers face many problems that other parents do not. Time is running out for teaching their adolescent how to become an independent adult. As one mother put it, "There's so little time, yet so much left to do."

Living with an Aspergers Spouse/Partner

Research reveals that the divorce rate for people with Aspergers is around 80%. Why so high!? The answer may be found in how the symptoms of Aspergers affect intimate relationships. People with Aspergers often find it difficult to understand others and express themselves. They may seem to lose interest in people over time, appear aloof, and are often mistaken as self-centered, vain individuals.

Unraveling The Mystery Behind Asperger's and High-Functioning Autism

Parents, teachers, and the general public have a lot of misconceptions of Asperger's and High-Functioning Autism. Many myths abound, and the lack of knowledge is both disturbing and harmful to kids and teens who struggle with the disorder.

Parenting Children and Teens with High-Functioning Autism

Two traits often found in kids with High-Functioning Autism are “mind-blindness” (i.e., the inability to predict the beliefs and intentions of others) and “alexithymia” (i.e., the inability to identify and interpret emotional signals in others). These two traits reduce the youngster’s ability to empathize with peers. As a result, he or she may be perceived by adults and other children as selfish, insensitive and uncaring.

What is your experience with iPad and other e - readers?

United States
August 30, 2010 4:40am CST
I heard people commented about the experience with actual e - book readers such as Kindle and Nook much better than iPad as a replacement. Actually, Kindle has clearer screen and better reading experience than iPad. What do you think of it? Also, the price for e - readers might significantly drop by the end of this year, probably competitor will be adding more of similar products to the market.

Well, I currently don't have any e-Book reader but interested to get one. I'm not too sure if Kindle is better than iPad, I use to test read on MPH E-reader, which I assume more or less same like Kindle, it's not really that nice, mainly due to it's only black and white and no touch screen. iPad can offer much function more than just a e-book reader, imagine watching movie on that big screen, it'll be a very nice experience, so among Kindle and iPad, if my budget allow, I will definately go for iPad.

I don't like the idea of ebook readers. I feel like we already spend too much time on a computer as is, and watching t.v. If we spend too much time trying to read from an eboojk reader we'll have more headaches and maybe vision problems. I much prefer reading from a book I can hold.

Hi kingParker, True that the prices would be falling by the end of this year, but my experience with e-readers and ipad (when it comes to reading e-books) is not satisfying one. I mean if the book is a large one, there are many breaks into the reading and the smaller screens just make things messed up and cluttered. This might be a gadget handy for ones who are on the move but I am not and I cannot ignore this fact. Again the materials available is expensive unless you settle with some piracy / pirated stuff. So they are not my cup of tea.

Have you ever had a dream about being a world traveler? I for one have dreamt of being 1. And I started traveling ever since I was little but only in our country, The Philippines. Up to now I still travel in our tiny Island. It is a paradise, I tell ya! Beautiful waterfalls, Home of the large green turtles we called the Pawikan which we see everyday on our shores in Apo Island. We swim with them in the morning. Riding on their backs is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my life. I made a habit of making my trips memorable rather than just being there like a "tourist". I brand myself as a Traveller and not a Tourist. I have been to places like Hongkong & Saipan too. But for me, nothing beats home. So, share your travelling moments here. Wether it's good or bad. I would love to learn about your experiences too.:-)

When I was 20 years old I got made redundant from my job and it seemed way too challenging to get another job. I let out my cottage, got a working holiday visa for Australia and bought an airline ticket around my world. My trip lasted for just over one year. On it I traveled to California, Hawaii, Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. I am an independent traveler rather than a tourist. I did another long haul trip which I spent months away when I was 29 years old. My teaching contact ended and I traveled off to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands of French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Samoa. My last trip was to Colombia earlier this year. Last year I spent my birthday in Canada. The year before last I went to Cape Town and the Garden Route. I like to visit tropical islands, do some snorkeling around coral reefs, visit cities with lovely looking buildings, see the native wildlife and look around historical sites. My best traveling moments have been climbing Mayan ruins, exploring a cave, seeing a penguin when I was sliding in the sand and snorkeling to see the rays plus small sharks. Wow!

wooooooow! that sounds a lot of fun max! would love to travel to those places that you have been to! It must have felt amazing when you experienced and got to see different cultures in every country you have been. I'm jealous! Guess I have a long way to go.hahaha I would love to go to places like Africa and Egypt. Hope I'd be able to travel around the world like you do. thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm inspired!:-)

I am watching it now. I'm only on episode 7 though. It can be a bit hard to find on the east cost of the US. I must admit that I really like and I think I am now hooked on Korean dramas. I'm not sure which one I want to watch next, but the suggestions in this discussion sound really good. The only sad thing is that I'm watching it alone. I wish I could convince one of my friends to watch it with me so that we could talk about it.

Apple iPhone 5 electrocution causes death

News   •   Jul 17, 2013 17:52 BST

A charging Apple iPhone 5 electrocuted a young woman while she was taking a call. Sadly, the woman died from the electrocution.

Reuters reports, “Ma Ailun, a 23-year-old woman from China’s western Xinjiang region and a flight attendant with China Southern Airlines, was electrocuted when she took a call on the charging mobile telephone, the official Xinhua news agency quoted police as saying on Sunday.”

Apple said, “We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic incident and offer our condolences to the Ma family. We will fully investigate and cooperate with authorities in this matter.”

Reuters says, “Apple declined to comment on details, such as whether this was an isolated case.”

The site adds, “Ma's sister tweeted on Sina's microblog saying that Ma collapsed and died after using her charging iPhone 5 and urged users to be careful, a message that went viral on the site.”

Please be reminded to take extra caution when using any handset that is charging. The same may happen to you.

Erin Condren Life Planners

So Amy has finally worn me down and talked me into getting an Erin Condren Life Planner.

(I am not getting paid for this post and I paid for my own planner)

 When she was ordering her planner I was on the phone and we were on the webpage together and while it looked really pretty and very functional I was not sold.

Mike worked very hard to get me to move over to using the Google calendar and it has been working well for years but last week I had repair people crawling all over my house and I thought I was getting all of the information they were telling me in my computer or phone (google calendar).

I knew I had city inspectors coming to the house but when I went to check what time - there was no time.  With the noise of the installers and the inspector trying to get off the phone I missed a step in google and did not put the time in my calendar and I had no way to call him to find out when he was coming out.  I was stuck at the house ALL DAY!

The other problem that I ran into is not having the info in front of me when needed.  My phone was being flaky and I could not talk to someone and access my calendar at the same time.  That left me running into the house to find the computer.  It was driving me crazy!

So I did some more research on this Erin Condren Life Planner stuff and this time with an open mind.

I love that I could customize it and make it work for my life and my business.  It is bigger than most planners and that can be a good thing or a bad thing but I carry a large purse so it should not be an issue for me.

I do not have a proof of "my" cover but this is what it will look like.

There is a great blog out there and she does a fantastic job explaining what is so great about this planner.

So while I am waiting for my planner to be shipped in am doing "research" on ways to make it work for both home and a direct sales business.  I am lost in Pinterest land and there are some fantabulous ideas out there.  I even found a solution to track my workouts and measurements - SCORE!  Now I just need to be cleared to go back to Curves....  I also love that I can have items made for my business to use with this planner.
  (ie: crop night reminders, workshop reminders, team meeting stickers and such)
We will still use the Google calendar for big items that the family needs to know about so our phones stay linked.  (Mikes business trips or vacations and such) but I am going back to paper for my personal day to day stuff!  I did not realize how many little notes I have around the house to do things until I made the decision to go back to a paper planner.

I do another blog post as soon as my planner is in my little hands.

I am so excited!
