I feel like a new woman in that I feel free, I feel awake, I feel unblocked and most importantly I feel JOY!
Thank you for being you Patricia and using your intuition in working with me!
“When the student is ready the teacher will appear.”
This is the story of me and Patricia!
At that point of my life it was not quite clear if I was playing to win or not to lose. I was wasting to much time with the how, why or when rather just the “do”.
So Patricia showed me the way to bring to life the “super powered” woman I had in me and confront my fear of been “eaten” by the men’s world. In a few words how to take 100% responsibility of my life. I understood that the place for change was/is within me not the environment or any other person. Complete responsibility means accepting it all, even the people who enter your life and their problems are your problems. They are in your life, and if you take full responsibility for your life, then you have to take full responsibility for what they are experiencing too.
I learned how to get out of useless noises and leave my impulses to guide me. By focus in the feeling everything is done effortlessly. Just keep feeding my hearth with the fuel of love. Through observation without judgments, enjoy life and really own my power.
By being in a state of security, stability and peace nothing can touch me anymore.
Now I truly believe that I can manifest and attract everything that is for highest good into my life.
Patricia should say “Reach for the moon and you will get stars”, my answer is “Zero(u) is the limit”. The universe begins and ends with a zero! Only when your mind is at zero can creation take place, and its called “inspire”. When you are zero, everything is available. Everything! You create your own reality!
You must go into dark in order to bring forth your light… and you will will get whatever you get!
Thank you my beloved Patricia your are the reason I feel free, love and abundance at the same time!
I was always pretty good at “asking and receiving” but after an unexpected divorce my energy was low and it seemed like I couldn’t make things happen. I had known Patricia virtually for a few years, followed her work and had always wanted to contact her. We actually only live a few hours away. Finally I got the courage to spend a day with her and wow was I amazed. After a few hours I felt different and knew she had opened me to new levels. I am embarrassed to share the enormous requests we put out there to the “universe”. They were big! After 2 months they had all manifested. New life, new home and new direction for my coaching business. She is tops!

After the 1st coaching session I immediately felt an energy and strength that I had buried under layers of negative thoughts since years.I understood that It was not useful to be a harsh judge with myself anymore because this part that often criticised me was the one that stopped me from living in the flow an easy and joyful life.opening my heart by connecting to the Divine was for me an easy and fun process that easily lead me to a stable and centred state. This experience made feel restored and renewed on the spot, my scars are finally healed and I feel free.i strongly recommend the healing process, success is guaranteed. Thanks Patricia!

I have learned to respect myself- something that before starting working with Patricia, seemed impossible to achieve!
After the VIP program I realised how easy it is to start loving myself again and reach my goals one after the other, it is easy and something anyone can do when he or she is really committed to grow and live in peace…
I used to put others before me as I never valued myself, I can contribute by giving more value – an inner sense of wellness that others benefit from.
I was able to enter in a plane (after 15 years of panic and frustration) and apart from this important challenge, in less than 4 weeks, I have reached my professional goals that were related to my communication with others.
I learned to take care of myself both physically and emotionally using the energy tools Patricia taught me.
The people I work with told me I look more healthy, they said they never saw me as fit as I am now! They also see me smiling where as before I was sad and in doubt about everything around me.
The technique of “my ideal self” allows me to be aware of my value and to achieve with others what I want without entering in conflict…
One of the biggest wins in the sessions I had with Patricia after the VIP program, was savoring each moment during the session.
As a matter of fact I encourage all my friends and the people I care about to get a “taste” of growing into the persons we are in our essence…”
Teresa Tsandilis- Business Owner, Athens-Greece
Thanks to Patricia, I realized that all I need for my wellness is already within me and no one better than myself can take me by the hand and lead me to the right direction.
Now, I feel firmly balanced on my legs, I don’t need anyone’s crutch, I am autonomous and independent because I realized that I have myself and the Universe to guide me toward my own sake.
Before, I was feeling admired, loved, appreciated, accepted only if others were recognizing my talents; now I feel free, happy, serene, centered with the Universe, a winner, powerful, beloved, vibrant, desired and constantly playful.
This is a continuous personal growth process and it’s great to know that I ALWAYS have at my disposal all the resources I need, it doesn’t matter if I’m alone or with others.
It’s wonderful to realize that every day I can get something good from my life because I DESERVE IT. Thank you, Thank you Thank you!
Grazia Mitti – Milan – Italy
I met Patricia in a class with about 30 other coaches. Very quickly she distinguished herself by her intelligence, her huge heart and her unshakable commitment to excel. From that point on, we met once a week to exchange ideas on our coaching business. One day, unknowingly, she coached me as I felt stuck with my energy levels: I was checking out every day, early in the evening, and I did not have the energy to do anything more for my business. With her magic – it really is! Great questions, greater intuition and amazing use of basic tools – she “unstuck” me!
I have been going on for over 6 months now with great energy and enthusiasm and I know I owe it to her. Since then, I have experienced on many occasions the brilliance of her coaching. The beauty is that she makes it seems so simple, yet the results are so amazing!
Beyond knowledge and competence, which Patricia has plenty of, she has the gift of bringing out the best in people and produced profound changes for me in a very short time! Sincerely, she is a truly gifted human being and having her as a coach is a blessing!
Myriam Najjar, CTA Certified Success Coach,Montreal
I was repeating this pattern to be considered and loved but the result was exactly the opposite because I was playing a role game without being myself and I felt lonely and powerless. After just two hours of coaching, I immediately felt free, independent and I can now see the true value of myself on a deeper level.
I easily manifest what I want, with no fear of being rejected, and I get everything I desire starting from a deep and genuine self-esteem. Finally, I’ve got freedom, I express myself without any fear and I spontaneously obtain what I want!
Amalia Esposito, Wellness Operator – Bari – Italy
Every time I talk to Patricia, something vibrates in me…Patricia is a great facilitator! It’s like she holds a magic wand in her hand…Patricia is a life-musical creator, she turns your life into a musical and, on top of that, it’s YOU who wins the OSCAR prize! She helps you open up your limitless possibilities, your abundance and prosperity, your Divine Self, your trust to God, or the Universe (whatever you name it..), your gratitude to whatever there has always been out there for you…It’s like you’re in a playground and Mary Poppins comes over to play with you, as simple as this! She pushes you gently first forwards and then upwards! You become so light that you can lift yourself, afterwards! “Spit-spot! And off we go!” Aaand…if you cannot succeed the first time?? Who cares? “Chi se ne frega”?!?! You succeed even if you don’t succeed!! Life has become so “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”!!! You’re in the “plenty”! Patricia’s way, also, reminds me of Stevie Wonder’s song “Have a talk with God”. Have a chat, a small talk…and: You are in the Flow, in Abundance and Prosperity, in the Blessing, in the Divinity…even before you know it..! You don’t know what that is? It scares you, as much as it scared me? Remember this: Be realistic and expect miracles! It does work!!
Vasso Seirinaki, A VIP program client-Teacher, Athens Greece
Working with Patricia was a new experience for me. I did not know very much about personal coaching. My only similar experience was working with a therapist after my divorce.
During a lunch meeting, I asked Patricia to step outside of the restaurant with me while I smoked a cigarette. As I was smoking, she started speaking to me in a playful way, taking me by surprise. She induced me to imagine a new life, inspiring me to see my life in a colorful, rich way. I began to imagine a new life and felt a vast range of feelings. I sensed a feeling of “red cotton” and other strong feelings, smells, and colors while playing along with this game of imagining a “new life”.
Before meeting Patricia, I was certain that nothing would ever get me to give up smoking. I never thought I would be able to quit; not even my daughter’s miraculous recovery from cancer was a strong enough reason for me to stop smoking!
I am not exactly sure what happened. I can only say that when I left Italy and returned to Stockholm, my need to smoke vanished 4 days later. I stopped smoking, just like that! I do not know if I was ready to stop smoking after a 35-year habit, I just know that one whole year has passed without smoking. There is nothing in this world that could get me to smoke again! The smell of a cigarette, the sensation of having a cigarette, and even the idea of smoking again “repels” me right away.
What has really changed? A big change has occurred that goes beyond ending the smoking habit: Patricia, through her coaching, helped me change the way I perceive life in general. She opened my eyes and my mind! Whatever I do now, I savor it with passion! Opening my mind means I take the time to savor a good wine, smell the beautiful perfumes, and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.
I learned to take the “risk” of experimenting with new ways of living life, a way of living life to the maximum rather than living life by “default.” The painful experiences I endured during the life and death of my loved ones is no longer. I savor life now to the maximum. It makes me say out loud “why not live life to its fullest and take all it has to offer since it is all there for us”?
The colorful journey of my life makes total sense to me now. My life is now filled with great passion and happiness. It is truly a life of which I always dreamed. It all happened with an awakening at that seemingly “casual” and yet rich session that Patricia offered me in front of the Italian restaurant.
Pia Johnsson – Business Owner Stockholm
Patricia helped me to solve the problem of my cough that lasted for more than 10 days. She analyzed deeply the origin of my cough and helped me to remove all the mental obstacles. I threw away all medicines and after a few days my cough disappeared. Her consultation was so powerful that the problem was solved after one session. What I most liked in this session is understanding that the origin of my health problems are inside of me and can be cured using Patricia’s methods that she also explains in the report!
Edyta Zabielska – www.blog-art.it
… Working with others, permitted me to go beyond my specific goal and without even knowing how this happened by working on only one aspect of my life…
It’s a great experience I would love to repeat!

You walk into spaces that you do not know you had, you know the person who did not think you were. And in all this she is always present. She spurs you, corrects you, congrats with you and gets you to the finish line.
Patricia is a person you are grate for.

How to Avoid Receiving 1 of 3,059 OSHA Scaffold Citations
In 2016, OSHA issued over 3,000 citations for scaffold-related safety infractions (a full breakdown of scaffold related citations may be viewed by clicking here). As in all safety matters, management's conscientious effort for safe practices is the first line of defense to avoiding these hefty fines. When management invests in critical employee training, field execution of safe practices is much more likely. A combination of classroom and hands-on training in user and erector scaffold safety proves to be most effective in helping employees understand the job site application of OSHA regulations.

Italian Soul Food Since 1999
Our private Sala has been recently repainted and it’s stunning. It is the perfect place to host something a little different than what normally goes on there, so on Monday May 1st we are excited to be welcoming Stephanie Jagger who will be here for the Victoria launch of her new book Unbound.
This gutsy, courageous and gorgeous woman has written a transformation memoir. Unbound, full of heart and courage, speaks to the adventurousness in all of us. What hiking was for Cheryl Strayed, skiing became for Steph: a crucible in which to crack open her life and get to the very center of herself. But she would have to break herself down: first physically, then emotionally, before she could start to rebuild. And it was through this journey that she came to understand how to be a woman, how to love, and how to live authentically.
Electrifying, heartfelt, and full of humor, UNBOUND is Steph’s story, an odyssey of courage and self-discovery that, like Wild and Eat, Pray, Love, will inspire readers to remove their own restraining devices and pursue the life they are meant to lead.
Come and meet this incredible author, adventurer on Monday May 1st at 7pm.
Tickets are $20 at the door and include a glass of prosecco and a few bites of pizza!
RSVP: firstname.lastname@example.org (so we know how much prosecco to chill!)
Our next wine dinner will be on Tuesday, May 2nd.
The dinner will feature the wines of Monte del Frà Vineyard in Veneto, Italy, owned by Marica Bonomo. The wines will be paired with food by our amazing Sous Chef Julia McInnis.
Tickets are going fast, email Frances email@example.com, our sommelier now to get yours.


THE LIFE OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST Through Icons and the Bible
On the wall was a large picture of St John being beheaded; I instantly felt a deep sympathy for him and prayed that the executioner had a well-sharpened sword! This experience inspired me to research his life through the many exquisite icons of St. John that exist, and from relevant passages in the Bible and other sources. My only knowledge of St. John at that time was from readings in church and the Bible.
The Old Testament refers to John the Baptist in several passages, though not by name. One of these is under the 'Proclamation of Hope' [Isaiah 40:3-6]:
“A voice cries out, ‘Proclaim a message!’ Go up on a high mountain and proclaim the good news to Jerusalem!”
In the New Testament, similar forecasts are mentioned, particularly in Luke 3:4-6:
“The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way for of the Lord, Make his paths straight.”
The Conception of St. John the Baptist
The first chapter of Luke 1:1-45 recounts the story of John's conception and birth to Zechariah (sometimes called Zachary), and Elizabeth:
“In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah...and his wife Elizabeth. ...they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were getting on in years. Once when he was serving as a priest before God... there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified; and fear overwhelmed him. But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear a son and you will name him John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. ...even before his birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit. He will turn many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God.”
So, as with Jesus, John’s birth is announced by an Archangel in advance of the conception. Zechariah receives this proclamation of the Archangel with disbelief and is struck dumb.
The Visitation of the Theotokos
When Elizabeth is about six months pregnant, her cousin, Mary, by this time pregnant herself with Jesus Christ, visits her and stays for about three months. Mary goes into Zechariah’s house and when Elizabeth hears her greeting, she was filled with the Holy Spirit. She cries out:
"Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.”
Mary responds with the words we now call ‘The Magnificat’:
“My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from hence-forth all generations shall call me Blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath protected his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.” [Luke 1:39-56]
The Nativity of St. John the Baptist
There are several passages within the Old Testament which are interpreted by Christians as being prophetic of John the Baptist. These include a passage in the Book of Malachi 3:1 that refers to a prophet who would prepare the way of the Lord:
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Ein Karem in the Jerusalem Hills is traditionally considered the birthplace of John the Baptist. John was born as the days began to grow shorter. Christ was born in winter as the days were growing longer, since it was fitting that John’s status should diminish and the glory of God increase. Many spiritual writers, as in a homily of Rabanus Maurus, Archbishop of Mainz (784-856), consider that this mirrors John’s statement: “He must grow greater and I must grow smaller.” The Nativity of John the Baptist is observed by the Church as a holy event on June 24th. This is exactly six months before the Nativity of Christ.
Zechariah's voice is restored with the naming of John.
John the Baptist marks the boundary between the Old and New Testaments. Indeed, the Lord speaks of him in these terms when he says that the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament are valid until the coming of John the Baptist. John is the representative of the past, and it was therefore fitting that he should be born of elderly parents, yet, while still in his mother's womb, he was declared to be a prophet in recognition of his future role. In the womb he was already designated by God to be Christ's precursor.
John is also regarded as a prophet in Islam, the Baha’i faith and Judaism. He is mentioned by the Jewish historian, Josephus (AD37-c.AD101) and, in the Qur'an, John is one of the twenty- five Prophets in whom Muslims believe.
I found the following quotation in the Qur'an:
“O John! Hold fast the Book with all your strength. We had bestowed wisdom upon him while he was still a child; and also endowed him with tenderness and purity; and he was exceedingly pious and cherishing to his parents. Never was he insolent or rebellious. Peace be upon him, the day he was born, and the day he will die, and the day he will be raised up alive.”[Quran: 12-15]
Christians commonly refer to John as the Precursor or Forerunner of Jesus. John is known as 'O PRODROMOS' – 'PRO' meaning 'before' and 'DROMOS' 'way' or 'road'. In a Samaritan manuscript in Aramaic, John is referred to as 'YOHANA AMUDANI', ‘The Baptist'.
As a fair morning running before the sun, the offspring of barren parents clearly proclaims the conceiving of the Virgin, making the illumination of godliness and grace shine to the ends of the whole inhabited earth. By thy birth, O Forerunner, the night of ungodliness was driven from the earth and the rays of grace were spread to the ends of the world; for thou dost reveal the sun that knows no evening.
O God who hast made this an honoured day for us by the birth of Saint John: bestow upon Thy people the grace of spiritual joys, and guide the hearts of all Thy faithful into the way of eternal salvation
St. John the Baptist: Life as a Prophet
“The child grew and became strong in the spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he appeared publicly to Israel.” [Luke 1:80]
Little is known about John the Baptist's life until he becomes a Prophet in the desert around the time that Jesus began his ministry. He lived in the wilderness, in the desert of Judea, as an ascetic leading a life of austere self-discipline and renouncing all material comfort. His food was locusts and honey and he is traditionally depicted as wearing a rough garment of camel hair with a leather belt. There are several passages in the Old Testament which are interpreted by Christians as being prophetic of John the Baptist. These include a verse in the Book of Malachi [3:1] that refers to a prophet who would prepare the coming of the Lord.
“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.”
When he was thirty, John began to preach on the banks of the Jordan and when he spoke of the coming of the Lord, he was asked: “Who are you?”, and he replied: “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness”.
“John was indeed a voice that lasted only for a time; Christ, who is the Word from the beginning, is eternal” (taken from a sermon of St Augustine).
The Saviour testified to John's greatness when he said that “among those born of woman there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist”, [Luke 7:8, Matthew 11:11]. Jesus said :“John is greater than the Prophets” [Luke 24:26]. However, John himself said: “He who comes after me ranks before me, and I am not worthy to undo the strap of his sandal” [Mark 1:7].
The Gospel relates that Jesus regarded John as “a burning and shining lamp” [John 5:35], and understood that He was “willing to rejoice for a while in his light” [John 5:35]. The book of Acts portrays the disciples of John as eventually merging with the followers of Jesus [Acts 18:24, 19: 6].
Theophany (Baptism) of Jesus Christ by St. John the Baptist
People came to John from Jerusalem, the whole province of Judaea and from the countryside near the River Jordan where he baptised them, saying: “Turn away from your sins because the Kingdom of God is near” [Matthew 3:2].
The Jewish authorities in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask John who he was. He replied: "You yourselves are my witnesses that I said I am not the Messiah but I have been sent ahead of Him.." [John 1:20].
John anticipated a Messianic figure who would be greater than himself and in the New Testament Jesus is the one whose coming John foretold.
One day, Jesus came from Galilee to John, to be baptised by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptised by you, and you come to me?”. But Jesus answered: “Let it be so for now; for it is proper for us to fulfil all righteousness”. Then John consented. [Matthew 3:13]
It is believed that John baptised Jesus at “Bethany beyond the Jordan called Bethabara” (described in the King James version of the Bible).
And when Jesus had been baptised, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove alighting on him. And a voice from Heaven said: “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased” [Matthew 3:17].
The following words are taken from Psalm 97:5 and are used in the Canon of the Vigil when celebrating the baptism:
“O Lord, we glorify you as our God and Saviour. You are the wonderful glory of the Father, enlightening those who are in darkness, a sun that never sets, you came to shed light on everything with your holy baptism.”
“With fear and wonder, as once in heaven, so now at the Jordan the angels adoringly contemplated God's humility once more” (Cosmas of Maiuma, Canon of the Feast of the Baptism).
An ancient tradition of the Church states that: “When Christ was baptised, flames were seen above the water”. In the prayers of the Vigil of the Feast of the Baptism, speaking to Christ, John the Baptist compares him to fire and himself to dry straw: “You come to me, and I, like straw, don't dare come near the fire. Make me Holy, Lord, by your divine presence”.
The Baptism of Jesus represents not only the beginning of Christ's ministry in the world, but also the manifestation of the three hypostases of the Trinity:
“O Lord, the glorious Trinity was manifested at your baptism in the Jordan: the voice of the Father witnessed to you, calling you his beloved son, and the spirit, in the form of a dove, has confirmed the truth of these words. You appeared, O Christ God, and the world was enlightened, glory to you” [ Troparion of the Feast].
The Beheading of St. John the Baptist
In Luke 7:11, we understand that John is discouraged. He had denounced King Herod for living with his brother's wife, Herodias. John took a stand against sin and was not afraid to speak his mind! He told Herod: “it is unlawful to have her”. Herod has John arrested and chained in a prison cell.
Whilst he was in prison, John the Baptist heard about Christ’s preaching and sent some of his disciples to ask Him: “are you the one John said was going to come, or should we expect someone else?”. Jesus answered, “Go back and tell John what you are hearing and seeing”.
In Matthew 14:3-12, we read about John’s beheading.
As the people regarded John as a prophet, Herod did not kill him. However, on his birthday, Salome, daughter of Herodias, danced before Herod who had sworn to give her anything she wanted. Her mother persuaded Salome to ask for the head of John the Baptist on a platter and because Herod had given his word, and in order not to be humiliated in front of his guests, he commanded that it be given to her.
After his beheading, John’s disciples came and took the body and buried it (traditionally believed to be in Sebastia near modern-day Nablus in the West Bank); they then went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard this, he withdrew by boat to a deserted place, grieving and seeking peace and solace [Matthew 14:13].
The news of the death of John foretold Jesus’ own death.
The Feast of Beheading of St. John the Baptist is held on 29 August in both the Eastern and Western Churches. Eastern Christians fast on this day in honour of John's asceticism and in symbolic rejection of the drunken banqueting that precipitated his murder.
The Feast reminds us that John's death will soon be followed by Christ's own sacrificial death on the Cross. Jesus Himself confirmed this when he said to his disciples: “I tell you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him as they pleased; and the Son of Man will suffer similarly at their hands” [Matthew 17:12-13].
The disciples understood then that He had been speaking of John the Baptist.
John's mission as The Forerunner did not end with his martyrdom: he prepared the way for Christ even in the world of the dead. As the Orthodox vigil office for this Feast says:
“Therefore, having greatly contended and suffered for the truth, thou hast gone rejoicing to declare to those in hell the good tidings of God having appeared in the flesh, taking away sins of the world and granting us mercy.
The tongue that speaks of divine things is sent to those in hell and is a fore-announcer of Christ.
The glorious beheading of the Forerunner is part of a certain dispensation, for John preached in hell the coming of the Saviour: ‘...as martyr, thy head has been cut off by the sword and thou hast fore-announced him to those in hell’”.
The Third Finding of the Head of St. John the Baptist
According to tradition, the head of St. John the Baptist was buried on the Mount of Olives where it remained hidden until the fourth century when the First Finding occurred during the construction of a church on the Mount. A vessel containing the head of John was discovered but reburied for fear of vandalism by unbelievers.
After the Second Finding in the year 452, as a result of a vision by two monks on a pilgrimage, it is said that the head was reburied in a cave near Emesa (now Homs in Western Syria), where a monastery was eventually built. The Feast of the First and Second Finding of the Head is observed on February 24th
The Third Finding of the Head occurred around the year 850 when it was revealed to the Patriarch Ignatius of Constantinople in another vision that the head of St. John was hidden in Comana (modern Turkey), to where it had been removed during a period of iconoclastic persecution circa 820. The head was found and transferred to Constantinople where it was placed in a church at the Court. The Feast of the Third Finding is observed on May25th.
Today, several different locations claim to possess the severed head of John the Baptist, among them Amiens Cathedral in France, brought there after the Fourth Crusade, and the San Silvestro in Capite in Rome. The truth is impossible to determine.

Finally, I would like to show you two icons that I am interested in painting. The first is one that I am currently working on from the ‘Deesis’ Cycle:

We all want to be certain whether or not exposure to a particular chemical substance is associated with a health risk. However, in most cases, research cannot absolutely reject nor with certainty demonstrate that there may be an increased health risk. In the EU the precautionary principle is used to ensure a balance between scientific uncertainty and acceptable risk. When the right balance must be found they listen to the relevant stakeholders, including consumer organizations responsible for EU citizens’ health interests as well as the industry, who protects the economic interests.
TREALIV represents only the interests of consumers and therefore we choose to present the research that give consumers insight into which substances are linked to adverse health effects. This gives consumers full transparency and they can relate by themselves to this knowledge. Although this knowledge may seem frightening to some, we believe that it is the right thing to inform, and let consumers make their own choice whether they want to know more and act on this knowledge.
We screen research studies by quality and present their evidence strength to the consumer. Read more below.
We only include information about adverse health effects that meet our quality criteria for good research. TREALIV uses the journal Quartile Score as a primary criterion and only includes publications from the journals belonging to the highest quartile (Q1) in its scientific category. Thus they are among the top 25% journals with the highest Impact Factor. The journal’s Impact Factor is calculated from the number of times all articles in a journal are cited by others and is thus an indicator of the journal’s importance. Impact Factor and Quartile Rankings are published annually in the Official Journal Citation Reports (JCR) of Thomson Reuters (formerly ISI).
Each adverse health effect is assessed for evidence strength. We have four categories of evidence strength: strong (+++), medium (++), weak (+) and no evidence.
+++ (Strong evidence): Before we say that there is a strong evidence that a substance may cause an adverse health effect this must be described by at least two independent studies of high quality which was conducted in a large population. Studies must be recognized by experts in the scientific field and must show a clear and strong correlation between exposure to a substance and the subsequent health effects. If there was conducted animal testing and other laboratory studies of high quality, they must show the same effects. If all these conditions are met, we categorize the adverse health effect as strong evidence.
++ (Medium evidence): Before we say that there is a medium evidence that a substance may cause an adverse health effect this must be described by at least one study of high quality which was conducted in a large population or at least two independent animal studies of high-quality. Studies must be recognized by experts in the scientific field and must show a clear and strong correlation between exposure to a substance and the subsequent health effects. If all these conditions are met, we categorize the adverse health effect as medium evidence.
+ (Weak evidence): Before we say that there is a weak evidence that a substance may cause an adverse health effect this must be described by at least two studies of medium quality which was conducted in a less large population or at least one animal study of high-quality, cell experiments or computer generated (QSAR). Studies must be recognized by experts in the scientific field and mut show a clear and strong correlation between exposure to a substance and subsequent health effects. If all these conditions are met, we categorize the adverse health effect as weak evidence.
Analysis and interpretation
The analysis of urine or hair samples of unwanted chemicals is also known as biomonitoring. For the best-researched chemicals, these analysis give the opportunity to say how high a risk a person has to experience adverse health effects. TREALIV aims to use only data linking the analysis results directly to a risk.
Unfortunately, this is not always possible, as there is often a lack of scientific data. In these cases, TREALIV compares the test results with known reference values from major, primarily international studies that are published by leading researchers in the field. For example, these studies could be commissioned by the the European countries’ environmental agencies or by the European Commission. Although these reference values cannot directly say how significant a risk you have of developing a particular disease, the comparison of your values with the average population can reveal whether you are exposed to unusually large amounts of unwanted chemicals because of your lifestyle and consumer habits.
Another thing that scientists have only just begun to investigate is the so-called cocktail effect – exposure to multiple chemicals that lead to the same adverse health effects, and in combination can lead to a much higher risk. Researchers have developed the first methods to account for these cocktail effects that TREALIV is applying in the interpretation of test results.
The analyzes are carried out in TREALIVs accredited partner laboratories, which have state of the art analysis techniques such as AAS, GC, GC / MS, HPLC, LC / MS and ICP / MS – spectroanalytical and chromatographic analysis methods.

In this paper, IÃ¢â¬â¢ll give a short examination of my Musings on the sonnet and its viability as a masterful writing. In describing the nostalgiac setting of summer, while functioning as a berry picker Furthermore, dealer, the creator endeavors paint a picture of the enthusiastic and arousing complexities loaded through a normal day in the city: Ã¢â¬Å"Although I could smell old lime-shrouded History, at ten IÃ¢â¬â¢d still hold out my hands and berries fell into them. Eating from one and filling a half gallon with the other. Ã¢â¬Å" (MLM , Komunyakaa, Ã¢â¬Å"BlackberriesÃ¢â¬ PPG 147-148) . Through his depiction in enumerating the work of picking berries and being tested not to eat them, he grandstands a contention that heÃ¢â¬â¢s unmistakably been confronted with, even with hisÃ¢ duty. This contention is later insinuated, from an increasingly obscene purpose of viewÃ¢ later in the piece. At the point when the creator positÃ¢â¬â¢s his aura much further, he proceeds to state: Ã¢â¬Å"I ate the folklore longed for pies and shoemaker, almostÃ¢â¬ ¦Ã¢â¬ (MLM, Komunyakaa, Ã¢â¬Å"BlackberriesÃ¢â¬ PPG 147- 148). It appears with this announcement the creator is inferring that he is ruined. At the point when he utilizes the recollections of his neediness as a youngster in his portrayals, it gives the sonnet a very melancholic tone; one of compassion, even. Even however, in relating nowadays of hardship, he despite everything finds the wistfulness of being with his canine and among natureÃ¢â¬â¢s components. : Ã¢â¬Å"Needful as pardoning. My fledgling canine Spot. Looked at blue jays thrashers. The mud frogs in rich darkness, avoided daylight.Ã¢â¬ (MLM, Komunyakaa, Ã¢â¬Å"BlackberriesÃ¢â¬ PPG 147-148) . To adjust the contention with a yearning to be in less complex occasions, with an association with the creatures and nature, gives the piece a truly necessary lighter touch. As the sonnet slows down, the creator traverses the sonnet from the earliest starting point of his days excursion to a point where he reviews the bait of cooling as opposed to the apparently unnecessary warmth of the day. : Ã¢â¬Å"The huge blue vehicle made me sweat. Wintertime slithered out of the windows. At the point when I inclined nearer I saw the kid and young lady my age, in the wide rearward sitting arrangement smirking..Ã¢â¬ (MLM, Komunyakaa, Ã¢â¬Å"BlackberriesÃ¢â¬ PPG.147-148) The setting in him portraying this perception was negative, as I would see it. All through the sonnet the creator has found some kind of harmony in developing minutes throughout his life that would some way or another be forgettable to any other individual, and finding the magnificence in those very minutes that made the experience beneficial. In general, Ã¢â¬Å"BlackberriesÃ¢â¬ , by Yusef Komunyakaa is a short, personal story essential to the creators experience as a devastated kid. The sonnet starts as workmanÃ¢â¬â¢s like portrayal of a product he was by all accounts troubled, yet fascinated by. In specifying greetings significant metaphorical gratefulness for the organic product, he appears challenge to accommodate his wants with his obligation as a worker and a supplier. However, in reviewing his recollections, he composes with such a clearness and quality in his depictions, that a few unappealing minutes, were lovely in their honorability.

In Doctor Faustus, good and evil are presented as two polarized ideas: God and Heaven on one side, and Lucifer and Hell on the other. Contrasting representations of this division also appear, such as the old man and the Good Angel opposed to Mephistopheles and the Bad Angel. Initially, this struggle between good and evil is Faustus major internal conflict as he is deciding whether to make the blood bond. However, by the time Faustus views the seven deadly sins, evil persists as the dominant force and is the path that Faustus follows to his final damnation. The struggle between good and evil begins with Faustus divided conscience. The Good and Bad Angels represent the conflict between his devotion to knowledge and his longing for power. They most blatantly exemplify the traits of good versus evil when the Good Angel tells Faustus to think of heaven and heavenly things (2.1.20) while the Bad Angel tells Faustus to think of honor and wealth (2.1.21). However, at the end of the pl ay, the Good Angel and the Bad Angel no longer appear. This absence represents Faustus commitment towards evil, symbolized through the blood bond. No longer does he reminisce about turning to God, nor does he lament the path he has chosen until the end. Rather, he resorts to a wasteful use of his powers through playing pranks and satisfying royalty, such as his tricks on the Pope and the conjuring of Alexander the Great.The most important part of the good versus evil conflict occurs at Faustus turning point from good to evil. The dilemma between which paths to follow has settled towards evil by the time the seven deadly sins are paraded in front of him. Before this event, Faustus has good intentions. For example, he promises that he will fill the public schools with silk, wherewith the students shall be bravely clad (1.1.90-91). He is persistent in his search for knowledge even though he is naÃÆ'Ã ¯ve about the eternal torment that awaits him in hell. Faustus is even repul sed enough by the physical manifestation of evil that he asks Mephistopheles to change his appearance. He commands the devil to, Go, and return an old Franciscan friar; That holy shape becomes a devil best (1.3.25-6). Faustus cannot bear to see the reality of hell; rather, he misinterprets it to be less evil that it actually is and even nonexistent at times. This blissful innocence can be seen in his succinct reply that hell is a myth immediately after Mephistopheles terrifying description of hell. However, after making a blood bond with Mephistopheles, Faustus delights in the seven deadly sins, even when seeing them firsthand. He describes his anticipation to Lucifer: That sight will be as pleasant to me as Paradise was to Adam the first day of his creation (2.3.103-4). In comparison to his disgusted reaction towards Mephistopheles devil figure, his acceptance of evil has become evident here and will later free him from his initial claims of benevolent aspirations, demonstra ted with his later pranks and frivolous feats. Three main factors contribute to this change of nature from good to evil after the presentation of the sins. One of these is that the forbidden, ultimate knowledge which he so desires at the beginning of the play is revealed to him as being elementary and redundant. In reply to Mephistopheles answers on astronomy, Faustus says, Tush, these slender trifles Wagner can decide. Hath Mephistopheles no greater skill? Tush, these are freshmens suppositions (2.3.49-50, 55). The strongest blow may occur when he is denied the knowledge of the worlds origin. At this point, Faustus cries out in distress for his soul to be saved but is denied salvation. As a result, he realizes that his contract with the devil is irreversible.This awareness of damnation becomes the second main contributor towards his acceptance of evil. In the middle of Faustus plea to Christ, Lucifer appears and destroys any hope for repentance by stating that Christ canno t save thy soul for he is just. Theres none but I have interest in the same (2.3.81-82). After this crucial moment, Faustus believes that no matter how hard he tries to repent, he has already sinned once and is thus permanently damned to eternal hell. Believing he cannot be saved, he tries to drown his pending damnation through pranks. For example, after having fooled the horse dealer, he laments that he is simply a man destined to die soon. His only consolation is in confound[ing] these passions with a quiet sleep (4.1.135). All of the practical jokes and feats that he performs serve merely as distractions to purge his mind from thoughts of repenting, as he knows he has chosen the path of evil.One event that clearly shows his conformance with evil is his insistence for Helen near the end of the play. Remarkably, he openly acknowledges that he is guilty of one of the deadly sins, the only time that he does so. By demanding Mephistopheles to let [him] crave of thee, to glut t he longing of [his] hearts desire (5.1.80), he is clearly aware of the path he is taking, yet proceeds to commit the evil deed. Irrelevant now is whether he can be saved as he has willingly submitted to evil. Faustus tells Helen to make [him] immortal with a kiss (5.1.92) and exclaims how her lips suck forth [his] soul (5.1.93). The immortality that he is asking for is rather the eternal torment of hell, and it is possible that he sees how evil his soul has become. Furthermore, his first thought after his evil act is to ask Helen to give him his soul again. Thus, this realization of his irreversible damnation liberates him from any responsibilities to do good and encourages him to commit sin repeatedly. The third influence that plays a part in Faustus turning towards evil is from the overwhelming presence of evil compared to good. Oddly enough, God does not appear throughout the play, while Lucifer and Mephistopheles consistently arrive at critical moments of Faustus doubts. The presence of the devils is important as it prevents Faustus, who initially regrets his decision, from renouncing their contract. For example, as Faustus contemplates repentance, Mephistopheles appears and threatens to tear Faustus to pieces. There is no reply from God nor is there any other counter to this evil. The closest influence we have to rival the powerful impact of evil is that of the Good Angel and the Old Man. Both are helpless at affecting Faustus conscience. The Good Angel asks Faustus to repent, to which he responds by immediately cast[ing] no more doubts (2.1.26) in favor of signing the contract. The Old Man is condemned to torment with [the] greatest torments that our hell affords (5.1.77). Thus, calls for evil drastically outweigh any appeals for good, primarily because God does not exert any direct influence.Faustus is torn between good and evil as he decides to exchange eternal life for power. This conflict quickly changes after he makes the blood bond a nd mocks the seven deadly sins. Even when given the choice for good, Faustus continually accepts evil as he is convinced of his immutable damnation. Perhaps it is not really a conflict of choice for Faustus, but rather an inevitable demise towards evil.

Ways in which Blake Uses Images of Animals and Plants William Blake was born in 1757 in London and died in 1827. His most famous works are called Songs of innocence and Songs of experience. Songs of innocence written in (1789) were easy to understand, very simple vocabulary, simple verses, with ideal, happy and pastoral locations. In Contrast Songs of experience written in (1794), had more difficult ideas and vocabulary, with negative views, which where realistic and sad.

There are parallels between many pieces of literature and events or principles within modern day society, fact and fiction. Between some, it is significant and easy to see, though others it is harder to describe or analyze. An example of such parallels would be the high end satiristic novel written by George Orwell 1984. From the communistic entity, the forced working ability, and economic lead by a man who takes on the persona of god; this short novel represents the american culture and many cultures or what they can or will become. This story is a warning of what human beings are, at the highest dystopian standpoint. In introduction, The foresight behind George OrwellÃ¢â¬â¢s book Ã¢â¬Ë1984Ã¢â¬â¢ was remarkable. Written in 1949, it was claimed as aÃ¢â¬ ¦show more contentÃ¢â¬ ¦World wars were erased from history, major inventions and other moments of success, were gone.

This is by design; explaining that modern education is focused more on feelings and the various Ã¢â¬ËgendersÃ¢â¬â¢ than it is the history of the country. Though history is always repeating itself, it is ignored or weakly taught in the public education system. This creates an easily manipulated and dependent society. Relating to reality, in OrwellÃ¢â¬â¢s Ã¢â¬Ë1984Ã¢â¬â¢, it was not acceptable to have sex for pleasure, to eat chocolate or have an alcoholic beverage of high quality. This was intended to keep people from seeking out lifeÃ¢â¬â¢s pleasures and possibly losing interest, and loyalty, in Big Brother. Looking at things today, we have Ã¢â¬Ësin taxesÃ¢â¬â¢. We are forced to pay a penalty for purchasing alcohol, tobacco and for putting gas in our vehicles (carbon tax). We are made to feel guilty for the damage we have apparently put on the earth for trying to get to and from work each day; even the size of soda drinks are regulated in some places. Food and energy were rationed as well because, as in all communist nations, there wasnÃ¢â¬â¢t much to go around.

Question: Find out the aspects Woolworths has included in the products safety requirements. Answer Background to the problem Woolworths is the largest retail industry in Australia and second largest organization in terms of annual revenue (Woolworths.com.au, 2017). In recent times, the concerned organization operates in over 1000 stores, 968 supermarkets and 19 convenience stores across Australia (Woolworths.com.au, 2017). Total of 111,000 employees are currently working under Woolworths and the organization is liable for earning annual revenue of AUS$ 39,588.8 million (Wow2016ar.qreports.com.au, 2017). The problem statement of this research will highlight the issue of the product safety at Woolworths that seem to be breached by Woolworths. The company has formulated some product safety requirements based on Australian Consumer Law (Woolworths.com.au, 2017). They also have a checking security process of clear and defined products approval that comprises of factory auditing, product testing and inspection of the products. The issue is that in spite of all these policies, the concerned organization made fals e or misleading representations on the safety aspects on their three products- Abode 3L Stainless Steel Deep-Fryer, Homebrand Safety Matches and Woolworths Select Drain Cleaner (ABC News, 2017). The issue was reported in the year 2016, when one of the customer suffered a nose bleed and burns from the product Select Drain Cleaner and three other customers burned by the drain cleaner (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, 2017). Apart from the mentioned 3 products, injuries are also reported from other two products that are padded flop chair and a folding stool (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, 2017). It was found that the padded chair could not reliably support more than 92kg and they claim that the product can bear the weight of 115kg (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, 2017). The first case of making false or misleading representations was found in the year 2014 against some home-brand products like- child-proof lid and self-igniting safety mat ches. However, the company continued to sell the faulty products even after injury reports. The Australian Consumer Law have found that Woolworths engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct and thus the organization have to pay total penalties of $3.057 million for the issue occurred in 2016 (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, 2017). This results in poor brand image and loss of customers loyalty and annual profitability. Thus, the issues that will be the major research aspects are: The gap between the existing product safety requirement policies developed by the organization and their actions Misleading products information that impacts the customers health and their loyalty towards the organization Management decision How can Woolworths re-build brand loyalty for their home products? How can the organization improve their products safety regulation to avoid such circumstances in future? Research question What are the factors that influence brand loyalty? What are the essential factors that can enhance the effectiveness of the existing products safety requirements?

The supply of an organization depends on the facilities for economical yet efficient production and distribution. The organization can keep production and distribution costs minimal by carefully selecting the raw materials and the suppliers. Managing the supplier offers velocity, flexibility and, quality at the lowest costs possible. Advertising We will write a custom research paper sample on Successful Supply Chain specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The main reason of working around reasonable costs is to ensure satisfaction of the customer at all times, especially during the market fluctuations. The main aim of a supply chain is to offer innovative dimensions of remaining competitive in the market by introduction and delivery of dynamic and technologically high quality inventories into the market at sustainable costs and high swiftness. Management of cost also enables the organizations to build a vision or goal by recognizing the performance break and thus narrowing the gap through utilization of available resources. Successful supply chain means that the consumer is not kept waiting after ordering and this is achievable via proper balancing of resources to meet the demands (Wang et al, 64). According to Wisner (478), the current economical crisis means that these are un-standardized times, which require critical but quick decisions regarding trade especially on money matters. Today there is need for careful management considering that technology is taking over transactions by storm and there is need to convert the physical elements of transactions to virtual ones to enhance trade at the lowest feasible costs. The costs need management because currently there is urgent need for firms to invest in hi-tech information and goods transfer due to low investments rates and poor international transactions. Economic crisis means low investment rates thus the need to invest the available resources smartly. Globaliz ation of the supply chains is becoming crucial because of the reduction on the procurement costs as well as decreases on the risks of international transactions such as purchasing behaviours. The technological impact is forcing businesses to consider outsourcing or venturing into countries that are more productive. For instance, India was a rare consideration to venture into some years back but today their advancement in technological matters makes most transactions easier, faster and cheaper over some of the U.S. and other western countries. Today globalization enables supply-chain firms to bid for the cheaper but best quality options through comparison. Advertising Looking for research paper on business economics?

Globalization means change for growth and that is the asp iration for every firm (Ayers and Odegaard, 88). Lastly some of the market niche are only attainable globally for instance the vehicle manufacturing industries that require global supplies. Some of the repercussions for this trend involve higher overall costs in comparison to the traditional style of regional or remote supply chains. According to Coyle (7), the exchange rates, tariffs, and space are some of the extra costs incurred during the international transactions. The time factor due to regional differences may affects the transactions beside the climatic conditions. A lot of complexity is usually involved when there are many global suppliers, thus the needs to consider the number to involve. The lowest prices in the global markets may mean more costs if a firm lacks to consider other related factors such as time, quality and quantity. In relation to Lambert (91), companies use various methods for demand forecasting of supply chains, such as graphical, historical or statistic al. Graphically there are many difficulties involved in modelling outputs, especially when the chains are many but on the other hand, it offers clear picture of the reality and chances for expansion through better analysis of hindrances and catalysts. The daily demand shifts call for complex representations. However, it is possible to model systematic and similar graphs even when they call for demanding efforts. The statistical forecasting are more accurate because of defined data types compared to historical, which mainly entail predictions based on past performances. Majority of the methods nevertheless utilizes supply situations that are a rough estimate as opposed to the current states of affairs, thus lack of exact prediction. Forecasting enables firms to learn the procedures of controlling some of the consumerÃ¢â¬â¢s systematic shifts such as weekly changes. The shifts are rather much more complicated when the company fails to carry out the observations. Forecasting enable s the management to find the information regarding insufficient supplies, which would otherwise be hard to note thus better trading and accurate timely supplies.Advertising We will write a custom research paper sample on Successful Supply Chain specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Close coordination means that the chains are working as a unit, to alloy uniformity especially over performance and dynamism. The managers are able to avoid heterogeneity within the firm by synchronizing activities. The current technological change calls for intelligent systems and personnel who are able to handle the operations, research and systemÃ¢â¬â¢s theories. In a strategy to minimize costs, they harmonize state times, sequences to avoid waiting costs, and retain customers through timely deliveries, especially for the global markets. Coordinated activities enhance the firmÃ¢â¬â¢s ability to deliver solutions of the complex problems through integ ration of various aspects from different chain stores. According to Kurtz et al (405), globalization makes the supply chains more complex and, limited but better and more profit oriented. Modulating components enables the manager to design subsystems as modules, which assist in meeting a wide range of business requirements. The production, manufacturing and procurement of components are highly reduced, thus saving resources in material status for future requirements. The joint planning, process integration and coordination reduces the performance cost and offers chances for business expansion to other market niche. There is increase on returns on investments such as assets, improved customer services due to specialization and, reduction on the time required for delivery. Works Cited Ayers, James B.

"You must be excited!"
I hear this all the time. I nod and I say yes. But I'm not excited.
I'm nervous. My launch party is one week from today.
What if no one comes? What if too many people come?
What if I can't remember my speech? What if it sounds too planned?
What if no one buys a book? What if they do and what will I sign?
I'm worrying about everything and nothing. A part of me knows I'm being silly. This is something I've been waiting to happen for YEARS. I should relax and enjoy.
My book will be out in the world and some people may not like it, but many people will. That's what it's all about. So, I just have to get past the expectations of a launch date and a perfect launch party.

(6.1.11) For me, launch included two events in my hometown, followed by a week in New York doing signings and events with the Class of 2K11 authors. So, right now some of what I'm feeling is just pure exhaustion. I was so focused on organizing, arranging, hosting, logistics, details, where to go and how to get there, that I've hardly even thought about the fact that my book is out in the world. So now that I'm back home, let me take a second to do that.
Wow. Feels amazing, I gotta admit.:-) I didn't love the craziness of launch (and I wish I could have stopped myself from worrying), but I do LOVE having OyMG out there and knowing that people might be reading it right now.
So, all in all, a happy ending to this launch story. :-)

I feel like I’m about to explode from many emotions inside. All I know is if I don’t get help, I’ll be alone forever. And being alone isn’t the worst part; it’s the pain that I will feel from all the failed relationships, all of which will end badly with me curled up in a corner hoping to die.
