Is NLP for Me

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) sounds complex but is just about the way that words affect us. NLP is a fantastic way of helping people achieve whatever they want. Based on ?modelling? (studying) people who are the best in their chosen field, sifting what they do and reducing it down to all the elements that are productive. ?The intention is that it should be gathered and shared so that others can quickly follow their example and get similar results. ?To me NLP stands for ?No Longer a Problem?.

Q, So what is NLP all about?

A, NLP is another ?tool? for accessing the programs you run unconsciously, those automated processes you were born with or learned through repetition. NLP does not require the same depth of state change and still effectively brings about changes and improvements.

Q, Does Hypnosis and NLP work?

A, Yes, it only requires that you really want what you came for and are doing it for yourself (not just to please others)!? These are tools to help you change physically, emotionally and personally.? The quality of improvement is dependant on the ability of the practitioner and their intent. Where ever possible I guarantee the outcome, usually in one session.

Q, How do I choose a practitioner?

A, Rapport is the main thing.? Choose someone who you can quickly feel at ease with, someone who explains everything well, who is interest in you and your issue.

Q, How come I don?t know anyone treated in this way?

A, People don?t mind telling other for things such as stopping smoking.? However more personal things that go quite deep tend not to be spoken of.? NLP in particular does tend to make it less of a memorable problem that has been removed therefore not so likely to be raised by the person it helped.

Q, I know someone and Hypnosis didn?t work.? Why?

A, If what to expect isn?t explained properly then some people may have gone through the experience thinking they had not been ?under?.? Therefore they resist the intervention.? This is why I am careful to clarify what to expect. I also guarantee my work because I deal with the core issue, not just the symptoms.

Q, What qualifications or awarding bodies should I look for.

A, This is an unregulated industry. Membership of any particular body only relates to paying a annual membership and meeting their entry criteria. Individuals vary in abilities even with the same qualifications, so personal assessment based on your discussion with them is the best determiner. Look for someone with a wide experience of life and who has characteristics that shows their own commitment to self development.

Q, Will I be treated using NLP or Hypnosis?

A, It depends!? I use whatever I feel is best suited to you and your needs.? I often use both in one session and other related ?tools? as necessary.

Q, What if it doesn?t work?

A, We will agree at the outset what we are working on together.? Where possible I will always seek out the root cause and fix that as the priority.? When a problem and the outcome are simply defined and reachable I will offer a fixed price outcome and do whatever is necessary until that outcome is achieved.

Q, Will I have to ?re-live? the problem.

A, No. I use techniques that allow you to see the situation without being drawn back into it.

Q, Can it be undone?

A, If you want it to, if you don?t follow instructions or if you deliberately test it. ?For instance: Smoking is a repetitive learning experience, if once you have stopped you try one you risk reconnecting to all those repetitive actions, connections and associations and could relearn the problem.

Q, Do I have to tell you all the details?

A, No.? I work better and faster with the bare bones of the issue.? I don?t need details to help you, I will only ask for what I need and you must be as honest and open as possible.

Q, How confidential is this?

A, Everything you tell me is in total confidence.? Should I need to research or discuss your case with others it will be done with total anonymity.

Q, What if I have blotted out the cause or don?t know how it started?

A, At an unconscious level you do know! It is my job to get your ?gatekeeper? to release it and help you be released from it.? I pride myself in being very good at this!

Q, Why would I need to clear out something I have deliberately blotted out.

A, Well it must be affecting you. Holding bad things in a compartment in your brain is a bit like throwing the remains of a fish in your kitchen bin, whilst you can?t see it, it does stink the whole kitchen out and it doesn?t get better until removed!

Q, How long does a session last.

A, Between one and two hours.? I could tell you a more accurate time when you book. The session takes as long as it takes to see that it has worked or has started the changes required.? You will know it is starting to work before leaving

Q, How long does it work for?

A, Changes are made at a neurological level.? In effect you are wired differently and it will remain so. This is why I always seek out the core issue and work on that.

Q, Will I need repeat sessions.

A, When I have dealt with the core issue it should also resolve many other related connections.? As things settle you may then wish to deal with any other minor issues that become apparent. Please see my blog ten pin theory for further clarification.

Amazon Takes More Steps Toward Building A Mobile Ad Network With An API In Beta

Amazon is taking the first steps toward building a mobile ad network across its Kindle devices with a new advertising API in beta for developers. If you judge by the earnings of publicly traded mobile advertising companies like Millennial Media, which has had annual losses for the last five years, it’s a tough business with low margins. But Amazon has something that most other competing networks don’t: troves of data on the millions of consumers who buy goods off its site. That could help Amazon understand what kinds of ads actually result in purchases better than Google AdMob, Facebook or any of the independent networks like InMobi or Jumptap. It also means much more seamless calls-to-action embedded in ads that can get users immediately clicking through to buy products. Amazon is kicking off the network with advertisers like Duracell Powermat and Nature’s Bounty. For now, Amazon’s mobile ads API will only work with U.S. users and apps and games on the Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and other Android phones and tablets. If a developer does use the API, they have to make sure that their apps are also available for download on Amazon’s app store. The network has two types of ads: static clickthrough banners and then banners that can expand to include rich media like video. They have calls to action that usually involve opening an in-app or native browser. There’s room for basic geo-targeting with using latitude and longitude coordinates if a user has chosen to share them with an app. Publishers can also blacklist certain advertisers they don’t want or think are appropriate for their users. So far, Amazon has shied away from making a big purchase of an independent mobile ad network. That’s unlike Apple or Google, which bought Quattro and AdMob respectively back in 2010. While the AdMob deal is generally considered to have worked out well for Google, Apple’s effort to turn Quattro into a premium mobile ad network like iAd sputtered as brand advertisers balked at the upfront spending commitments the company initially asked for. It seems that Amazon is taking a more conservative approach with more traditional ad formats and advertisers that already sell products on its site. The ads API comes on top of a host of other mobile app infrastructure products Amazon has built over the last year including a mobile gaming network, GameCircle, a virtual currency and in-app

(AP Photo, File)

CAIRO (AP) ? Clashes between protesters and the police in in the restive Egyptian city of Port Said that entered their second day Monday have dragged in the military to a dramatic extent into the nation's turmoil.

At times in the violence, frictions have arisen between the police that were battling protesters and army forces that tried to break up the fighting. Troops in between the two sides were overwhelmed by police tear gas, one army colonel was wounded by live fire, and troops even opened fire over the heads of police, bringing cheers from protesters.

Three policemen and three civilians were killed in the fighting, and troops stood by as protesters torched a government complex Monday that contains the city's main police building.

The scenes, following three weeks of strikes and protests in the city, have underlined a scenario that many in Egypt view with a mix of concern and relief ? that the military may move back into politics, prompted by mushrooming protests, a breakdown in law and order and mounting challenges to the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. Some opponents of Morsi have outright called for the military to take power, and even those who say they oppose a military return have used the prospect to pressure Morsi to find some consensus in the country's political crisis.

Prominent opposition leader Mohammed ElBaradei warned of decaying state institutions and rising levels of violence.

"The regime in its current form is unable to manage the country," he wrote on his Twitter account. "There must be a radical review before it is too late."

Unable to halt the violence, both the police and military Monday sought to deny any tensions between them. Meanwhile, there was no official comment from the presidency following one of the worst flare-ups of violence since January.

Unrest also spread in other parts of the country. In the capital, Cairo, protesters blocked the main thoroughfare along the Nile River, and police tried to clear them with volleys of tear gas. Other disgruntled young men set fire to two police cars in two different locations in Cairo, sending police fleeing the vehicles in the middle of traffic.

The unrest in Egypt is reaching new heights, just weeks before the parliamentary elections scheduled next month, which have further enflamed an already tense political landscape.

Opposition leaders are calling for a boycott of the elections, accusing Morsi of failing to seek consensus over critical issues, such as the drafting of the constitution and the elections law. Morsi opponents accuse him of working to lock his Muslim Brotherhood's hold on power.

"How can elections be held with the tragic situation in Port Said and as martyrs are falling there and in other provinces," former presidential candidate and leading opposition member Amr Moussa said in an email. "How can elections be held with security undermined everywhere in the nation."

Months of violence have prompted calls by some in the opposition for the military, which ruled for nearly 17 months after the fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, to take back power and contain the discontent.

Hundreds of Port Said residents, followed by some in other provinces, took the symbolic step of going to public registrar offices to issue "power of delegation" documents asking the military to step in "manage" the country.

Abdullah el-Sinawi, a commentator and columnist in the daily Al-Shorouk newspaper, said the "clashes between police and military which took place, even if they were limited, represent the absence of the rule of law."

Such a clash between two powerful institutions "warns of the decay of the state," he said. There were increasing signs from the generals of their displeasure with Morsi's management of the country and lack of political openness, he said, raising the specter of military intervention, perhaps not to remove Morsi but to prevent a breakdown.

Morsi supporters and members of the Muslim Brotherhood have downplayed rising expressions of discontent. Mohammed el-Beltagi, a senior Brotherhood member, told reporters that Egyptians will never accept the military back in power.

Another senior Brotherhood member, Gamal Heshmat, told the legislature Monday that the media is portraying Port Said as if it is "on fire."

"Anyone watching from outside will think that Egypt is all Port Said," he told a parliamentary session, according to the main state-run daily, Al-Ahram.

Port Said, on the Mediterranean coast at the mouth of the Suez Canal, has been in turmoil since late January, when a Cairo court issued death sentences against 21 people, most residents of the city, for involvement in Egypt's deadliest soccer riot in February 2012. The verdicts sparked angry protests in the city, which turned into deadly clashes with police, leaving more than 40 dead, including two policemen.

Residents have been outraged by what they call excessive force by the police and by Morsi's backing of the security forces. The police said most of the protester deaths came during an attempt to storm a prison.

Tensions have risen further ahead of a court hearing planned for Saturday that is expected to confirm the death sentences and issue new verdicts for police officers and other Port Said defendants also charged in the soccer riot case.

Port Said's fighting Sunday began when thousands of protesters marched on the police headquarters after word emerged that 39 defendants in the soccer case had been transferred to prisons outside the city ahead of Saturday's hearing.

The protesters Sunday lobbed rocks and firebombs at the police building. The police, heavily deployed around their building, moved out to try to push back the protesters.

Army officers tried but failed to negotiate an end to the fighting. Then the troops began getting hit. An army colonel was shot in the right leg by live ammunition, military spokesman Ahmed Mohammed Ali said. Soldiers were overwhelmed by the tear gas that police were firing at the protesters. In one case, captured on video, a tear gas canister fell inside a military armored vehicle, and the choking soldiers stumbled out, helped by protesters who carried them to an ambulance.

The military deployed their vehicles between the protesters and police. They fired in the air in the direction of the police, witnesses said. "The people and army are one hand," cheering protesters chanted.

One protester, 25-year-old Mohammed Atef, said the scene restored his confidence in the military. "We felt they are feeling the injustices against us; that they decided to protect us too."

But another said she believed the military was only acting to protect itself. "The military only moved against the police when one of theirs was shot," said Amira el-Alfi, 33. "It is pretending, and is moving neither to protect institutions, nor to protect people."

On Monday, soldiers and military vehicles escorted thousands marching in the funeral procession for the civilians killed in the fighting the day before.

"It is now war between us and you, Interior Ministry," the marchers chanted as they carried the coffins of the dead to the cemetery. Many wave the black-white-and-green flags of Port Said that have become a symbol of the city's revolt against the government.

On their way back from the funeral, protesters hurled rocks at the police headquarters, which lies in a government complex. Police responded with volleys of tear gas. The military largely stood by. Flames were visible from the provincial government's headquarters and a nearby tax authority office, adjacent to the police building.

On Monday, both the military and the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of the police, sought to dispel any sign of friction between their forces. The Interior Ministry issued a statement saying "unknown elements" fired arbitrarily at the police and military with the aim of sowing sedition and causing escalation.

In a statement late Sunday, the military denied it fired at police. On Monday, the military spokesman Ali said that the fact that people on both sides were injured indicates that unknown elements were behind the gunfire.

Obama to name 3 to Cabinet-level posts Monday

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama will nominate a trio of top advisers Monday, announcing his picks to run the Energy Department and Environmental Protection Agency, as well as a new budget chief.

The nominations signal the White House's desire to get back to normal business after the president and Congress failed to avert the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts that started taking effect Friday. While the president has warned of dire consequences for the economy as a result of the cuts, the White House does not want the standoff with Congress to keep Obama from focusing on other second term priorities, including filling out his Cabinet, as well as pursuing stricter gun laws and an overhaul of the nation's immigration system.

Obama's nominee to run the Office of Management and Budget, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, will be a key player in Washington's fiscal fights if confirmed by the Senate.

Burwell is Washington veteran, having served in several posts during the Clinton administration, including deputy OMB director. She currently heads the Wal-Mart Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the retail giant, and previously served as president of the Gates Foundation's Global Development Program.

The president will also nominate MIT scientist Ernest Moniz to head the Energy Department and EPA veteran Gina McCarthy to run the environmental agency.

Moniz, 69, oversees MIT's Energy Initiative, a research group that focuses on innovative ways to produce power while curbing greenhouse gas emissions. But unlike outgoing Energy Secretary Steven Chu, he is also well-versed in the ways of Washington, having served as the Energy Department's undersecretary in the Clinton administration.

Moniz has also advised Obama on central components of the administration's energy plan, including a retooling of the country's stalled nuclear waste program, energy research and development, and unconventional gas.

In a 2009 alumni interview published on Boston College's website, Moniz noted that he learned to balance both political and scientific demands while working in the Clinton administration. "Physics sometimes looked easy compared to doing the people's business," he said.

In nominating McCarthy to be the nation's top environmental steward, Obama is promoting a climate change champion and a 25-year veteran of environmental policy and politics. McCarthy has served under both Republicans and Democrats, and is known for a matter-of-fact approach appreciated by both businesses and environmental advocacy groups.

Among her past bosses: former Massachusetts governor and Obama's Republican presidential opponent Mitt Romney, for whom she was a special adviser on climate and environmental issues.

Since coming to Washington in 2009, McCarthy has been the most prominent defender of EPA policies. As the head of the air pollution division, she has been behind many of the agency's most controversial new rules ? from placing the first limits on greenhouse gases on newly built power plants to the first-ever standard for toxic mercury pollution from burning coal for electricity.

Moniz and McCarthy also must be confirmed by the Senate.

Elan moves to deter takeover bid

DUBLIN (AP) ? Irish drug maker Elan Corp. announced Monday it will pay shareholders a recurring special dividend linked to the sales of the multiple sclerosis treatment Tysabri.

Analysts said the offer, contingent on Elan's pending sale of its Tysabri rights to partner Biogen Idec Inc., was designed to deter shareholders from considering a takeover bid by Royal Pharma.

Elan said it planned to pay shareholders 20 percent of its Tysabri royalties received from Biogen twice annually beginning in the fourth quarter this year.

"This dividend structure gives shareholders the right to enjoy unlimited participation in the upside from the Tysabri sales increase which we anticipate for the future," Elan said in a statement.

Elan and Biogen jointly developed Tysabri and have split earnings since the drug's troubled launch in the U.S. market in 2004. They soon withdrew Tysabri from sale after three MS sufferers using the drug contracted PML, a rare brain-inflammation disease that is often fatal.

But since its return to sale in 2006 under restricted conditions Tysabri has gradually gained market traction because, despite its PML risks, it is considered most effective at reducing the frequency and severity of sudden immobilization or partial paralysis experienced by MS patients. The neurological disease MS has no cure.

Last month Elan agreed to sell its interest in Tysabri to Biogen, based in Weston, Massachusetts, for $3.25 billion in cash and recurring royalty payments.

Royal Pharma launched a $6.5 billion bid for Elan on Feb. 25 that values the Dublin-based company at approximately $11 a share. Royal Pharma argued that Elan's shareholders should sell because the company already was too heavily reliant on Tysabri sales, but Elan's directors rejected the bid as cynically timed to exploit uncertainty among some Elan shareholders.

Elan's shares have risen 27 percent since the Tysabri sale plans were announced Feb. 6. They rose a further 1 percent on Monday to ?8.71 ($11.33) on the Irish Stock Exchange.

The royalty agreement means Biogen will pay Elan 12 percent of its revenue from Tysabri sales this year and 18 percent in future years. Should Tysabri sales break the $2 billion annual barrier, as is expected, Elan will receive 25 percent of the proceeds from sales over that threshold. Tysabri's sales totaled $1.6 billion in 2012.

Kerry: Egypt needs political, economic viability

CAIRO (AP) ? Egypt's bickering government and opposition need to create "a sense of political and economic viability," giving businesses confidence and setting the stage for a vital international aid deal, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday.

Kerry stressed to business leaders the importance of Egyptians coming together around human rights, freedom and speech and religious tolerance. Equally essential, he said, is uniting "to meet the economic challenge of this particular moment."

He arrived in Cairo, the latest stop on his first overseas trip as a member of President Barack Obama's second-term Cabinet, intending to press all sides to come to a basic agreement on Egypt's direction ahead of parliamentary elections that begin next month.

Of great concern, too, is the ability of Egypt to undertake the reforms necessary to qualify for a $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan package. Steps could include increasing tax collections and curbing energy subsidies.

Agreement with the IMF, contingent on ending the political chaos that has ensued since President Mohammed Morsi's election, would unlock significant U.S. assistance, including portions of Obama's $1 billion pledge last April.

"It is paramount, essential, urgent," Kerry told business leaders, "that the Egyptian economy gets stronger, gets back on its feet and it's very clear that there is a circle of connections in how that can happen.

"To attract capital, to bring money back here, to give business the confidence to move forward, there has to be sense of security, there has to be a sense of political and economic viability."

Kerry, who was to meet with Morsi on Sunday, said he would tell the president that that U.S. assistance would depend on Egyptian reforms and the IMF agreement.

"It is clear to us that the IMF arrangement needs to be reached and we need to give the market place some confidence," Kerry said.

Several hundred people protested outside the government offices where Kerry planned to meet with Foreign Minister Amr Kamel. They burned Kerry's pictures and chanted that Washington was siding with Morsi's ruling Muslim Brotherhood.

The political turmoil has scared away tourists and foreign investors, eroding Egypt's foreign reserves by nearly two-thirds of what it was before the uprising. Those reserves, which stand at less than $14 billion, are needed to pay for subsidies that millions of poor Egyptians rely on for survival.

Kerry met with opposition figures before a round-table discussion with members of the business community. He described the first session as "very, very spirited."

According to the U.S. State Department, Kerry also spoke by telephone with Mohammed ElBaradei, a Nobel laureate who heads the National Salvation Front, an opposition coalition calling for an election boycott.

Kerry met with Amr Moussa, a former minister under ex-President Hosni Mubarak who's now aligned with the Salvation Front. Moussa, an ex-Arab League head, ran for president last summer.

A statement from Moussa's office said the two talked about how the U.S. could support Egypt economically.

Kerry's talks with the league's current leader, Nabil Elaraby, covered the uprising in Syria, where 70,000 people have died in fighting over nearly two years.

The Salvation Front says it could consider participating in elections if parts of a new constitution are changed, police stop using excessive force against protesters and if an inclusive government of the Christian minority, women, and liberals is formed.

They say now is not the time for elections that will further polarize the country while violent clashes continue to take place between protesters and security forces, further shaking the faltering economy.

They accuse Morsi and the Brotherhood of dominating power in Egypt, effectively stepping in to the same role as Mubarak and failing to carry out reforms while also seeking to instill a more religiously conservative system.

Morsi's administration and the Brotherhood say their opponents, who have trailed significantly behind Islamists in all elections since the uprising, are running away from the challenge of the ballot box and are trying to overturn democratic gains.

Egypt has been locked in political crisis for months amid successive waves of protests against Morsi that have turned into deadly clashes and rioting.

As Kerry was meeting with opposition figures, including some who have joined the election boycott, activists in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura say a 35-year-old protester was killed when an armored police vehicle crushed him to death during violent anti-Morsi protests before dawn on Saturday.

A 14-year-old boy was reported to be shot in the head and critically wounded.

In the restive Suez Canal city of Port Said, a police vehicle ran over five people Saturday after protesters marching along a main street refused to allow the car through.

Kerry's visit to Egypt is the sixth leg of a nine-nation trip through Europe and the Middle East.
