Nicolas Zart wrote: "It has been a busy and unique year for us here. We traveled southern India for a few weeks, which was an eye opener. It reminded us how easily our lives get taken over with trivialities.
I tweaked my Coaching practice to reflect more what I have seen in India, integrating that sense of the sacredness, or spirituality in our every day life. I wondered how the business world would react to it but have been surprised at the amount of interest is has generated. Maybe Occupy Wall Street is raising awareness after all.
I've included new tools into my Coaching practice, the newest being an ancient Holy Numerology system rediscovered a few decades ago. After a most uncanny reading, I felt this would be a perfect tool for a Coach.
As the year winds down, I'm working on many projects, including a High Power Computing (HPC) project to allow companies to tap into super computer clusters. I'm always looking for help there if anybody if familiar with this. My business partner and I are also launching soon an electric car community website. We are still building websites and integrating social networks. Lastly, I will launch a parallel wholistic practice. Yes, that is wholistic with a "w", because if you don't approach life from the whole, then you are surely missing pieces.
After I finish revamping my website, which badly deserves it after a decade of letting it go, everything should be online, hopefully within the first few months of the new year."

Nick Zart wrote: "After leaving the Lycee, I finished my high school years at Mamaroneck High and eventually left for Paris. After that I went to Nice for about a decade as an ESL teacher, coordinator and multimedia language director. I eventually left for Japan where I continued computer work, teaching languages and helped establish the World Craft Council. There, I met my wife, originally from Savannah, Georgia whom I've been married to for 13 years with no kids.
We lived in NY where I had a successful IT consulting company until we got tired of the weather and left for Long Beach, California, 20 minutes south of LA. I am a professionally trained business and life coach with an international accreditation. I write as the National Coach Examiner for the Examiner, as well as the National Electric Car Examiner.
I have always lived in a world of collectible cars and only drive old Italians. I have a passion for ancient civilizations and philosophies and I'm actively involved in different online esoteric groups as well as coordinating the Mystic Academy in Second Life.
Gosh, this sounds like a resume. I would love to hear more about old friends and see what they are up to. Hopefully some of them are near me."

Peter Moore told us that he "recently published a piece of fiction in the academic literary journal, the Massachusetts Review." To read his piece --The Nutcracker’s Overbite-- see Alumni Creative section of this newsletter, or click on link below.

Halimatou (Youssoufou) Bourdanné nous écrit: "Ça fait 4 mois 1/2 que nous sommes installés à Oxford, ma famille et moi. En effet, mon mari a été affecté ici dans le cadre de son travail. Pour le moment, je m'occupe de la famille pour aider les enfants à s'intégrer dans leur nouvel environnement. Si j'ai des promotionnaires qui sont en Angleterre, j'aimerais bien avoir leurs contacts."
