The Benefits Of Free Life Coaching
By Gemma Bailey
Life Coaching is an effective means of establishing where you are in your life, where you going, and how you will get there by focusing on specific areas- from self confidence, to enjoying your work, creating time for yourself or living your dreams. Some people find it difficult to comprehend what life coaching is about or why you would need to pay someone to guide you in this way. What you need to ask yourself is, if you were to carry on doing things as you have been doing them, are you going to achieve your goals and will your life be fulfilled?
“If what you're doing isn't working, do something different.”
Life coaching is not about changing yourself but becoming yourself. Being successful can take much more than accepting the life that you have, it can mean that you adapt your model of the world to suit you, to make life work for you. The more you know about who you are, the easier it will be to achieve what you want and to find what fulfils you.

ITC sides with Microsoft in Motorola patent infringement case
Motorola will have to modify its Android smartphones or pay Microsoft a licensing fee if it wants to continue selling them in the United States.
After postponing its decision several times, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled Friday that Motorola?s Android phones violate a Microsoft patent, and ordered an import ban for the offending devices.
?Microsoft sued Motorola in the ITC only after Motorola chose to refuse Microsoft?s efforts to renew a patent license for well over a year,?...<div class="feedflare">

For tech companies, patents can be cash cows, huge legal expense
<img src='http://assets.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/Patent_law_gavel*100.jpg?v=1'>While most people?s eyes glaze over when you mention patents and intellectual property law, they can have a significant impact on a company?s bottom line ? both in revenues and legal fees.
Microsoft, to name one Puget Sound-area company, is involved in more than 60 patent infringement lawsuits, according to recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

5 warning signs that time to invest in Facebook is over
<img src='http://assets.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/facebook%20stock%20mockup*100.jpg?v=1'>Facebook Inc.?s performance as a public company wasn?t exactly a showstopper. The stock jumped 12 percent in the opening minutes of trading on Friday before slipping back close to the $38 price IPO investors paid on Thursday, despite reported efforts by underwriters to prop it up.

But instead of swords and horseshoes, 12th Avenue Iron on Seattle's Capitol Hill makes custom gates, staircase railings and other furnishings for high-end homes and businesses.
