Earlier this year, we were called upon to develop a rapid solution to a serious issue that had been affecting a fleet of around 1,000 taxis.
The issue in question related to a rear turbo hose in one particular model of taxi that, when fractured, blew hot gases into the bulkhead and onto sound-deadening material which, in a few incidences, caught fire and completely destroyed the vehicle.
Faced with this major problem the manufacturer contacted Lifeline and asked if we could find a solution. Following a series of exhaustive tests, Lifeline developed, designed and manufactured an Automatic Fire Protection system to resolve the issue – in under a week.
The automatic fire protection system developed by Lifeline features a 1kg ABC dry powder extinguisher that is fully automated using the Protectowire fused detection system. This activates Lifeline’s patented self-contained compact lithium cell battery-operated firing head when a temperature of 180ºC has been registered.
The systems for all 1,000 vehicles were supplied to the installation contractor in kit form – complete with all pipework, nozzles and drilling templates - and were successfully fitted to the entire fleet in one month. The extinguishant cylinder was neatly located out of sight of any passenger in the driver’s cab.
Lifeline can design and supply a wide range of Automatic Fire Protection solutions to help you whatever your situation, take a look at some of our Automatic Fire Systems systems and contact us to find out more.

Marijuana Growing In Nevada – How to Grow Marijuana Immediately with No Ahead Experience or knowledge?
Nowadays, The cultivation of cannabis has become more popular than it had been in the past. More people wish to cultivate their own cannabis Since the tendency is rising. Are you also looking for the methods to cultivate your own cannabis plant but don’t possess the knowledge and expertise that is necessary for the operation that is growing? Because we’re here to make it easy for a small or micro scale to grow your cannabis on don’t worry. Micro or small-scale development is a natural method to cultivate cannabis for beginners to obtain an experience and knowledge, without running the risk of destroying a big growth (harvest ). If you’re a newcomer and are attempting to develop marijuana on a large scale, you may wind up making mistakes that effect quality and you could end up losing a lot of money.
Selecting The right breed and the right amount of soil, for the rise of cannabis is quite important once you’re growing at small scales. A good friable soil that is combined with dwelling organisms and abundant compatibles , vitamins, minerals are important. This mix can can provide food to your own plant for its life cycle that is full. The loudness of the pot of soil you may utilize to cultivate your plant also is dependent on how big a plant is expected to grow. The growth of a cannabis plant depends upon what sort of breed you are currently using. There are two strains available, one is sativa and the other is indica. Sativa plants are thin, tall and have leaves that are narrow. Whereas, Indica plants are short, bushy with leaves. Sativa plants undergo a 200-300% increase in elevation whereas indica plants increase by 50-100% throughout the flowering phase. So evidently, indica plants are acceptable for small-scale and micro growth. But, Auto-flowering breeds are just another option for the growth of cannabis, regardless of your planned scale. These strains stay modest in each condition as it’s in their genes and a number of them are even more compact than indica plants. Additionally they grow independent of lighting, meaning their time to crop is often shorter. Some outside growers also use because as soon as they get mature, they start blooming, auto-flowering. Growers use this characteristic of strains to grow two plants of year.
Germination Of seeds in pots that are smaller is simpler than larger pots. But, seeds put on a moist paper towel and placed in a dark warm place is also a fantastic method for seed germination. After a couple of days or months, your seeds will sprout. When the surface is broken through by your plants true photosynthesis starts and cotyledons have shed their seed husk. This is where they show their true leaves. Interesting arrangements begin, depending on the strain that you selected. A noticeable change could be viewed at the start of the phase in the pattern of growth. Cannabis responds to hormonal changes depending. There are two types – auto-flowering and Absolute Photo Determinate. Absolute Photo Determinate (APD) plants depend upon a hormone which is sensitive to light in order to sustain growth and plant. In breeds that are auto-flowering, their growth hormone is age dependent. These plants stop whenever they reach a specific age producing. Calyxes shape covered puffballs and emerge. Together with their spike, these puffballs will begin to stretch. These leaves are smaller and thicker than sugar leaves and they are covered in trichomes. The flower clusters form big colas and will be covered in trichomes. Trichomes and calyxes will swell with an abundant amount of resin. Maturity will soon be complete and these pistils’ color will begin to change from orange, mauve, scarlet, brown. Additionally, its colour change from milky to amber and clear to milky. It’s time to harvest. Wet the trims and remove all the leaves then split down the plant farther. Another technique is to cut at the stem of the branch .
Hopefully, You have learned enough to begin your indoor cannabis backyard. Growing and Cultivation should be a pleasant hobby together with a result. So, Have fun and remember to look after your plants!

But one option not being discussed, he said, is the removal of USA troops from the Korean peninsula.
North Korea has committed "to the dismantlement and destruction" of all its uranium and plutonium-enrichment facilities in talks with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and South Korean leaders, US Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun said in a speech on Thursday. "We will get that, at some point, through a comprehensive declaration".
He added: "We must reach agreement on expert access and monitoring mechanisms of key sites to worldwide standards, and ultimately ensure the removal or destruction of stockpiles of fissile material, weapons, missiles, launchers and other weapons of mass destruction".
There was also pushback from the intelligence officials on North Korea.
CIA Director Gina Haspel meanwhile said the agency's analysts likely "value the dialogue" emerging between North Korea and the US, but likewise indicated Kim's intention to denuclearize remained dubious.
While seeking to advance trust and sustainable peace, Biegun also said that the US was also prepared for a scenario where talks did not work out. Unlike many other news organizations, we have not put up a paywall. Or that Iran is, despite the absence of the United States to continue the nuclear agreement.
And he asserted that cutting the 14,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan would help bring America's longest war to an end.
Biegun held out hope, however, that the USA and North Korea would end decades of hostility, despite the failure of previous administrations to pressure the regime into abandoning its pursuit of a nuclear deterrent.
"This bright future, driven by investment, external engagement, and trade and built with the incredible resources of the Korean Peninsula is also part of our strategy to plan for success", he said.
"We say we will not lift sanctions until denuclearization is complete".
In May 2018, Trump withdrew the us from that accord, which he called a awful deal that would not stop Iran from going nuclear. "North Korea relations" is "prosperity, along with denuclearization and peace", he added.
Mr Trump also defended his decision to withdraw 2,000 USA troops from Syria on grounds Islamic State no longer posed a threat, and pointed to the progress in peace talks in Afghanistan as markers of his success in the Middle East.
She also accompanied her brother to the U.S.
Trump highlighted the points of contention between him and the intelligence community, he stressed that the US has made progress in respect to ISIS, North Korea, and talks in Afghanistan.
Biegun said both he and Trump were convinced it was time to move past 70 years of war and hostility on the Korean Peninsula, but stopped short of suggesting the summit could yield an end-of-war declaration North Korea has been seeking. Yeah, we're going to announce it pretty soon. The signs read " We welcome North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's visit".
"When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond". The Democratic leader then called for an "immediate meeting" between Trump and his intelligence officers so they could "educate" the president about what's really going on with national security.
Still on the hunt for a head coach, the Bengals had reportedly been denied an interview by the Broncos with Kubiak. But the 49ers last season had two coordinators on offense, while Shanahan handled all of the play-calling duties.
Pep Guardiola will no doubt point to this result as an example of Liverpool's frailties, especially as we enter the title run in. But time went on and City couldn't find a crucial second.
Stone still possessed many of those communications when he gave false testimony about them, prosecutors said in the indictment. He briefly served on Mr Trump's campaign, but was pushed out amid infighting with then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.
Huawei officials also provided assurances to the US Congress that its business didn't run afoul of any US law pertaining to Iran. The US Department of Justice on Monday charged Huawei with theft of trade secrets, wire fraud and obstruction of justice.

Woodside students collect food for SOS - Hamilton School District.
Altruism was already motivating Woodside Elementary School families to collect items for the Sussex Food Pantry, but two parents decided to add fun to the mix by having classrooms compete to bring in the most items.
When Kristyn Brandt and Jen Southern, Woodside parent volunteers in charge of the Scholastic Book Fair, realized reward bonuses from the fair were soon to expire, they came up with a plan to ramp up contributions. Teachers of the two classes that have the most items for the food collection will be awarded the Scholastic “bonus money” that will allow them to purchase books for their classrooms.
The food drive will continue until Dec. 14, and community members are invited help support the cause by dropping off donations between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Woodside office. The food pantry is most in need of peanut butter, one-dish meals like hamburger helper, spaghettios, canned fruit, boxed potatoes, rice, noodle sides and personal care products such as deodorant, shampoo and shower gel.
The winning teachers will be announced the week of Dec. 17. Woodside Elementary School is located at W236 N7465 Woodside Road, Sussex.

How would you respond to a staff member who called to report that a company facility was receiving an unexpected government inspection? The agents could represent federal or state environmental, health and safety or taxing authorities. Almost certainly they will be requesting access to your company’s facility or offices in short order, perhaps immediately.
Is your staff trained to respond to government inspections?
Responses are many and varied. Some employees would try to placate the agents and answer their questions to the best of their ability. Other employees might become defensive and refuse to cooperate. Still other employees might panic and open the doors and the books to the regulators without any prior preparation or authority to do so. Sometimes you can buy time – and perhaps convince the inspectors to return on another day – so you have time to prepare. Sometimes you cannot; you must conduct the inspection on the day and time when the inspectors arrive at your facility.
The response you receive from the agents will likely be directly related to the reaction and attitude they receive from you and your employees. An open and honest attitude – while not volunteering information not requested – may be a good way to disarm the inspectors and shorten the inspection, particularly if your facility complies with the laws and regulations the inspectors have come to check on. It’s important to ask the agents the purpose of the inspection so you have some idea of what the government is looking for and whether the requested information will raise red flags about your operations.
In some circumstances, an open response may not be appropriate because critical manufacturing schedules must be met or known non-compliance exists. In those instances, it may not serve you well to follow the observations set forth below. If the government’s regulatory action is particularly hostile, you may need to use a more aggressive response. In those instances you may want your staff to remain quiet until your attorney can make a proper inquiry and prepare a proper response.
The following are general observations. They will apply in some cases, and not in others. You should seek the assistance of legal counsel whenever you confront a government inspection or audit.
Make an Effort. Unless you have a reason to prevent a government inspector from entering your facility – and, in light of the scope of her legal authority, it should be a very good reason – make it easy for the inspectors to gain access to and inspect your facility. If you or another corporate officer – like the chief operations officer or general counsel – must travel from headquarters to the facility being inspected, then do so. It may be an inconvenience, but it will set a respectful tone with the inspectors. In particular, if there is nothing substantial at stake, do not ask the inspectors to travel a greater distance to the company’s offices if the subject facility is close by. It says a lot to the inspectors when a company officer travels to the facility for the inspection. If possible, try to avoid the inspection becoming adversarial. If you make an effort, even a small one, to cooperate when you can, it will usually pay off many times over.
Concede Easy Issues. Concede the issues that are of no real importance to your company to show the government’s inspectors that you want comply with the appropriate regulations. You do not have the time or money to “make a federal case” out of a small issue. So it should not be a big deal to agree to comply with some of the inspector’s minor suggestions. This approach will set a positive tone when the time comes to rationally discuss the larger issues the government may wish to raise This also keeps you from looking defensive. Again, this may not be appropriate in all circumstances, but where the government inspectors do not approach you with an indicting attitude or agenda, this should be an entirely acceptable response in many instances.
Be Agreeable When You Can. Try to set a pleasant tone from the first moment you meet the inspectors. Warm handshakes, smiles, and deference to the inspectors’ authority help establish a non-adversarial setting. There are a couple of adages a government inspection should bring to mind. When you’re communicating with the inspectors, whenever you can try to go along to get along. Inspectors have a job to do. If there are no issues, don’t create any through your behavior. As is true in most of life, you will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Make an effort to be respectful, sociable and kind in your interactions with the inspectors. Occasionally, the effort is not returned and may be wasted. As a general rule, being agreeable pays off time and time again.
Answer Only Questions Asked. This can be hard to get used to if you have never spent time as a litigator. It is, however, an important lesson to practice whenever an inspection takes place. You can almost count on only getting into trouble if you don’t keep your communications clear and concise when there is any possibility your comments could be used against you. This is a good point to remember not just in the context of a facility inspection, but also in nearly all legal situations that arise in the workplace. Try to keep this in mind, and take pains to teach it to your less experienced employees as well.
Respond Quickly Where Possible. If the government inspectors ask the company to complete a relatively easy task during the inspection, try to comply as quickly as possible; the same day is ideal. You may also want to ask the inspector how the company can demonstrate compliance. This will position you as being cooperative and conscientious regarding the company’s regulatory obligations.
Again, responding to a government inspection does not lend itself to one-size-fits-all advice. If that were true, very few attorneys could make a living offering legal counsel to clients since all the advice would be the same. Also remember that responding to issues that arise during a government inspection sometimes just requires a little common sense. It can’t, however, hurt to have the above principles in mind so that when a random government inspection occurs, the advice is close enough to the top of your mind to be remembered and used.
Finkel Law Group, with offices in San Francisco and Oakland, has worked with many companies to help them prepare for government inspections by helping them prepare protocols for how to respond to particular information and inspection requests from environmental, health and safety, tax and other governmental agencies.

Landlord liability insurance covers you for the risks associated with renting out your property. When you have tenants, you are likely to be responsible for any injury the tenant or their visitors receive because of some feature of your property. Even if you're careful, things can go wrong. For example, a tenant might trip and injure themselves on a loose floor tile. Any pay-out you might have to make is likely to be more than you can reasonably afford on your own.
Landlord liability insurance covers the main unforeseeable risks you take as a landlord, including legal fees and loss of rent. If an incident arises and your tenant is injured in your property, they might decide to take legal action against you. In this case, your landlord liability insurance will cover your legal fees, any damages awarded to the tenant and your tenant's legal fees if they win against you. Your policy should also cover any injuries to tradesmen working on the property.
Further to this, landlord liability insurance will cover you if a situation arises where you lose out on rent and need to house your tenants elsewhere. This could happen for a number of unexpected reasons, such as if your property is damaged by fire or water, so it makes sense to be prepared.
It's not a legal requirement to get landlord liability insurance, but it is highly recommended. If you're getting a mortgage on a buy-to- let property, be aware that many mortgage providers insist that you get landlord insurance before you can borrow from them. If you're renting out your own home after living in it yourself, you will need to inform your insurer that the building's circumstances have changed, or you won't be covered when the time comes.
Do I need landlord insurance and buildings insurance?
It's wise to equip yourself with both landlord insurance and buildings insurance when thinking about renting out a property. Most mortgage lenders will require you to have buildings insurance as standard when buying a property, and it will cover you in case of serious damage to your property, which could otherwise be very expensive. It's also highly recommended that you get landlord liability insurance as well, since many of the things you might have to claim for as a landlord are not covered by ordinary buildings insurance policies.
Do I need landlord insurance for a flat?
If the property you own is in a block of flats, it's possible that the freeholder will provide buildings insurance as a matter of course. However, this doesn't mean you're exempt from getting landlord liability insurance separately. Buildings insurance won't cover you for legal fees or compensation if your tenant has an injury, and it also won't provide loss-of- rent cover. It's therefore recommended that you take out a separate policy to cover you against those situations.
Do I need landlord insurance if renting to family?
It's common practice for landlords to rent properties to family members. Many people think that this means they don't need insurance. However, even if you're not worried about them filing legal claims against you, it's still recommended that you get landlord liability insurance, which would cover relocation costs in the case of extensive damage to the property through fire or flood and would also cover any claims made by tradesmen working in the property.
Do I need landlord insurance for lodgers?
Whilst you're not required to get landlord insurance if you take in a lodger, it's still recommended. You will have to tell your home insurance provider if you take in a lodger, and it could invalidate or change your policy. Remember, if you don't let your provider know and you later make a claim, it could be rejected. It's important that your lodger is factored into the policy you take out.
There is no fixed cost for landlord liability insurance. Like any insurance policy, it will depend on you and your personal history. It can also vary depending on the size and nature of the property, along with the property's history. If you are interested in finding out exactly how much landlord insurance will cost you, get a quote from us today.

Third Thursday Semi-Finals: Cézanne v. Cassatt!
"Semifinals" designates the Fourth to Seventh Rounds of the Infinite Art Tournament. This is a Left Bracket Fourth Round Elimination Match. It pits Paul Cézanne (4-1, 38-24, .613) and Mary Cassatt (4-1, 44-25, .638). Leaving the Tournament at their hands are Canova (5-2, 54-40, .574) and Chardin (4-2, 41-32, .562). Canova, who had fought his way left after losing in the First Round (to Caravaggio) ties the record for most wins of any artist leaving the Tournament; his "batting average" of votes in favor is the 14th highest of any ousted artist. Chardin, whose two losses were to today's two contestants, isn't too far behind him, in 19th.

Essential Question: How are the authors we studied in this unit similar as well as different?
Test on Tuesday, December 20.
Your assignment: By yourself or in a group of up to three people, create a 3-5 minute video including art and writing and/or voice overs, connecting 5 out of the following 7 authors and ideas to life around you.
For each overall idea and connection, you must include both art and writing/voice over to illustrate how this relates to your reality and how the two connect.
Essential Question: What is Thoreau's main idea about reality and how does it inter-textually connect to Abbey, Olson, as well as yourself?
How is time but a stream he goes a-fishing in? What is the whole idea behind drinking at it?
Why is the stream shallow?
How/why does the thin current slide away?
After that sentence, it is as if we fall into the stream of eternity and have become new, once again, innocent—what is going on in the next three sentences?
“I cannot count one” to “as the day I was born”?
Question 4: How does the intellect rift its way into the secret of things?
Put what Thoreau is saying about reality into your own words.
Include two text-to-text or text-to-self connections.
Add your findings and review to the Reality in Review Slides and be ready to present it with your group.
With a partner, take one of your questions from Day 1 and turn it into a statement.
Thoreau is being both literal and figurative when he writes about a site for building a house. Thoreau introduces the second chapter of his master work by writing, “At a certain season we are accustomed to consider every spot as a possible site for a house.
2. Share your statement with the rest of the class.
5. Read "Thoreau Water vs. Solid Ground" and take notes about your thinking and understanding of the text (right) and record any questions you have while reading (left).
Are these details positive or negative?
7. Draw an illustration that explains how the above ideas are connected in the paragraph.
 Add any new thoughts on this subject to your notes.
Essential Question: How can creating and defending in-depth questions about your reading give you deeper insights into Thoreau's Walden?
5. In your groups, discuss each of the three sections of this text and generate one question that helps you gain deeper insights into your reading.
When Thoreau writes, “At a certain season we are accustomed to consider every spot as a possible site for a house,” he seems to be saying that anywhere you are you can live. Is he being literal or figurative?
Write one question for each section (three total) of your text.
For each question, include a defense of why this is a strong question that helps readers gain deeper insights into the text.
This is a strong question because it forces readers to look at the ideas Thoreau might be getting at beyond simply thinking about building a house. We all know that great writers often time mean both what they are saying (literal) and what they are implying (figurative). By answering this question we might get a deeper insight into Thoreau’s ideas of here and home.
6. Now, transform your question into a statement. Do this for each question.
Essential Questions: How are Giordano Bruno's ideas connected with Abbey's ideas of civilization and culture and Olson's ideas of the thing itself and metaphor?
How do you effectively take, review, and revise Cornell Notes?
1. Starter: In Cosmos, Episode 1: Standing Up on the Milky Way, which we will be watching this period, Neil DeGrasse Tyson mentions how the Voyager ventured the farthest away from Earth, its mission to show other life "out there" who we humans are.
If you were to show alien life who we are as a society, which three items would you choose to add to the Voyager? These items can be physical objects, as well as recordings or other media. Be specific in the three items you choose. Justify your answer.
2. Use the Cornell Notes Template to take and organize notes while you are watching Cosmos, Episode 1: Standing Up On The Milky Way.
Your guiding question for your notes: What does this episode tell us about our place in the universe? What do you learn about Giordano Bruno's ideas?
How do his ideas connect to the ideas of Abbey and Olson?
4. Connections: How do the ideas presented in Cosmos connect to Olson and Abbey's ideas about Reality and Culture vs. Civilization?
5. Revise your notes to make these connections clear.
6. Write a five-sentence summary about what you have learned this period and how it connects to what we have studied this quarter so far (add this to the Summary section of your notes).
Essential Question: If everyone's point of view is relative, what does this say about how we form and expand perspectives? How do Watts' ideas connect to Abbey, Olson, and Hanh?
1. Writing Prompt: How do we create our own perspectives? Write for 10 minutes.
3. Read: Watts "The Maya Doctrine"
6. Read Paragraph 2 and answer: What is Maya (provide three examples)?
According to Watts, why is this concept hard to understand?
How does a “liberated” person see the world according to Watts?
What does it mean if something is relative?
According to Watts in paragraph 5, how is the doctrine of Maya a doctrine of relativity?
What are two examples Watts gives to show that people could be described as both parts and wholes?
What does one achieve if one goes beyond Maya?
How do we create our own perspective?

BY SANJOSE.COM – Though only just popularized as a post-workout snack in the Bay, acai berries have been a staple in much of South America for centuries. The Amazonian superfood—pronounced ah-sai-ee—is known for its deep purplish hue, distinctively rich and complex taste, and laundry list of health benefits.
A favorite of Brazilian surfers and beach bums since the ’80s, acai is now making itself known at Vitality Bowls in downtown Mountain View. This Bay Area-based chain offers a variety of sandwiches, salads and of course, acai fruit in the form of bowls, smoothies and juices.
Mountain View’s location is especially unique in that it was opened in May by 18-year-old Westmont High School graduate Angelo Camacho, who is arguably one of the youngest acai entrepreneurs in the biz. The Mountain View outpost is the 50th location in the ever-expanding chain, which was founded in 2011 by Camacho’s aunt, San Ramon resident Tara Gilad.
On a Sunday morning when I visited, the small cafe and adjacent patio space were packed with Lululemon-clad customers and a few families getting their fill of the antioxidant-packed breakfast food. Although I wouldn’t call myself a health nut, I do frequent the Whole Foods juice bar a few times a week. So I was surprised to learn about a number of “superfruits” Vitality Bowls serves that I had never heard of before, including acerola, graviola, camu camu berries, pitaya and aronia. High in vitamin C, potassium, B-vitamins and antioxidants, these superfruits are combined into a proprietary “VB blend” that acts as a base alongside acai in almost half of Vitality Bowls’ dozen-plus menu items.
I opted to try the tropical bowl ($12.49), one of the most popular menu items, which was composed of acai, coconut milk, apple juice, bananas, mango, flax seed and pineapple as its base and was topped with organic granola, bananas, strawberries, coconut shavings and a drizzling of honey. The bowl came out neatly decorated and stacked high with fruit, making it somewhat difficult to dig my spoon into. But it was worth it once I did: the flavors and textures from the toppings and base paired together perfectly—the ideal combination of sweet, tangy and crunchy. The tropical bowl’s base was fairly sweet, due in part to the added apple juice and honey, and tasted dessert-like without feeling heavy.
I also sampled Vitality’s superfood bowl ($14.49) which included acai and the VB blend of superfruits as well as graviola, acerola, kale, bananas, strawberries and almond milk as its base. It was topped with tangy blueberries, cacao nibs, granola and bananas, and was sprinkled with a generous heap of goji berries, which are known for their high protein and fiber content. The crunchy cacao nibs and granola went together nicely with the chewy goji berries and complimented a base that felt filling and healthy without compromising on taste.
While all of the Vitality’s acai bowls come with a multitude of topping combinations, customers can also customize smoothies, juices, and bowls with extra mix-ins or toppings for only an additional 75 cents. Try adding noni fruit, a tropical fruit native to Polynesia that touts immune-boosting and tumor-fighting properties, or ginkgo leaf powder, which is said to improve brain health.
It should be noted that all of Vitality Bowls’ menu items are made fresh to order, so be prepared to wait a few minutes—especially if there is a queue of online or to-go orders. That being said, the acai bowls at Vitality are worth the wait and then some. Made with organic ingredients, zero ice, added sugars, fillers or dairy products, they’re healthy enough that you won’t feel guilty going back for seconds.

Have you ever find yourself bored with nothing to do? I haven’t, not since those long history classes in high school. Being bored should not happen. Use it as an opportunity to have fun, learn or expand your horizons.
Idle time can be reading time. You can learn something or at least be entertained by what trouble Britney and the other young starlets are in, instead of killing time.
Doctor’s Offices usually have magazines, so it’s easy to find something good to read there.
Other waiting areas may not have as good selection of magazines but you should still skim through what they have even if it’s not something you would ordinarily read. It’s your chance to see something different.
Take a brochures and read through it. It may give you some insights, for example when you’re at a bank.
It’s best if you think in advance and bring your own reading material, this way your guaranteed it’s something you’re interested in.
Put some games on your phone. Carry a Sudoku game. Count people with mismatched clothes. Find other ways to amuse yourself. It’s a good way to have fun during a long day.
Pick up the phone and call someone. Scroll through you’re address book and look for names you haven’t spoken to in a while. Call an Aunt or other relative.
Look around for a friendly face and approach him. You’ll never know who you’ll meet.
Think about where you want to go in the future. Think about problems you’re currently experiencing.
If your walking somewhere take in the sites. Use your brain to just enjoy.
How do you stop boredom?
Meetings can be big time wasters or productive planning sessions. But there is one you should have daily- first thing in the morning – a meeting with yourself and it will increase your chances for success. This will give you time to prepare for the day and not rush into your morning. Let’s start with a case study of a typically morning for Eileen (based on a true story).
8:48am Eileen gets off her train at central station. She heads for the connecting bus and takes a seat- today she’s luck that she got one. She anxiously looks at her watch, still on schedule for her 9am conference call.
8:50am The Bus leaves central station. At this point it’s packed, Eileen is feeling the elbow of her neighbor in her ribs. Eileen glances at her watch and is glad the bus left on time.
8:55am The bus arrives at the front door of MegaCorp, where Eileen works. Eileen waits for her turn to get out and proceeds to the building. She’s still on schedule.
8:56 am Eileen is waiting at the elevator bank at MegaCorp. Only 4 minutes to her 9am meeting.
8:57am Bill from IT gets on the elevator just before the doors close, causing them to reopen. Eileen smiles at Bill, though secretly she’s upset at the 4 seconds he stole off her morning. They discuss the previous nights game as they ride up to the 20th floor, but Eileen is only partially engaged. She’s already thinking about her dash to her desk as soon as the doors open.
8:59am Eileen wishes Bill a good day and says “Gotta run, I have a nine o’clock”. She gets to her desk puts down her bag. Flips the on switch on her computer and sits down. Just in time as the phone rings for her 9am phone meeting.
9:02am Eileen scans her email during the call. She sees one from the client, just as the the content of it comes up. “I sent you an updated widget report overnight.” says the client.
“Yes I saw it. I’ll look at it closely and let you know my feedback later today.” she answers quickly while opening the attachment.
9:05am The subject of the new computer equipment comes up. Eileen says she’ll follow up on it and notes it on her to do list.
9:22am The client call ends. Eileen puts her bag in the corner where it belongs. She puts her lunch in the office fridge. She comes back to her desk to listen to her voice mails and processes her email.
9:40am Eileen goes through the client’s widget report and sends a detailed report of her feedback.
9:55am Eileen calls Bill from IT. They exchange pleasantries. Then she asks about the progress on the computer order.
10:00am Eileen dashes another email to the client about the computer order progress.
10:02am Eileen is happy with her productive start.
Now lets image Eileen changes just one thing- she has blocked her calendar so no appointments can be made first thing in the morning. Her 9am appointment is now at 9:30am.
8:48am Eileen gets off her train at central station. It’s a nice day for a walk to the office. She glances at her watch, she has time and strolls to the office. It’s a 10 minute walk or a five minute ride by bus. She’s glad she doesn’t have to rush and can walk.
8:50am As she walks she passes some school kids playing in the yard and thinks of the funny thing her five year old said that morning.
8:55am She’s two blocks away from MegaCorp but she sees the bus stops in front of her building. She sees people rushing out. It reminds her of the opening scene of the Charlie Chaplin Movie “Modern Times”. She chuckles to herself as she thinks of the pigs.
8:57 Bill from IT sees her coming in the building and waves to her as the elevator doors close in front of him. He waits for her to arrive. They take the next elevator up.
8:58am Eileen and Bill chat about the previous night’s game as they head up the elevator to the 20th floor.
9:00am Eileen and Bill finish their sports chat in front of the elevator banks. Eileen asks about the the equipment he’s ordered for “The Client”. He says he’ll look into it. She says “I have a 9:30 call with them. If you can get me the answers by then it would be great.” He assures her he can and they depart.
9:03am She puts her lunch in the office fridge as she passes the employee lounge.
9:04am She gets to her desk and puts away her bag. Flips the on switch on her computer. Eileen listens to her voice mails as the computer starts up. Then processes her email.
9:15am Eileen notices an email from “The Client” and goes through the client’s widget report. Instead of composing a long email, she prints it out and marks it up so that she can go over it during the phone call. She highlights the four main issues.
9:25am Eileen goes back to finish processing her emails. She sees Bill’s response which includes the tracking number.
9:28am She prepares her notes on the meeting with a few bullet points.
9:30am The phone rings and Eileen picks it up confidently.
9:35am The subject of the new computer equipment comes up. Eileen gives them the update and says she has the tracking number if it’s not received.
9:45am “I sent you an updated widget report overnight.” says the client.
“I got it. I went through it and have 4 questions for you.” Eileen replies and they talk about the widget report.
10:01am The client call ends.
As you can see in both these scenarios Eileen was productive. But in the second one she had time in the morning to prepare. The preparation gave her more confidence and allowed her to accomplish two important tasks: First, the meeting gave her feedback on what she needs to do with the widget report. Second, she was a step ahead following up on the equipment order.
She was also able to squeese some relaxing exercise into her morning and wasn’t curt when talking to co-workers. Of course I worked out these times to correlate. But less stress and more time thinking help. The ideal scenario would be to come in early each morning, but that isn’t always possible. Coming in early allows you to prepare in a quiet environment.
Starting your day with stress can send a bad tone for your day. So don’t run, walk into your new day.
I’m very careful to avoid new time sinks- activities that will end up wasting my time. Sometimes they seemed like fun at first and then turned into obligations(fantasy baseball), other times it seems interesting and turn into time consuming distractions(new TV shows). You get the idea. There’s just too many opportunities to waste time on a large scale. Now I’m faced with a new dilema: in today’s world it’s hard not to go five minutes without hearing about social media (facebook, twitter, delicious), is it a new time waster or a useful tool?
I wish I knew the answer. Steve Pavlina, who I respect as a personal development guru, just took the plunge, so I figured I would experiment too. Organize IT put together a productivity twitter list. With much hesitation I’ve joined twitter: http://twitter.com/heshys. I previously signed up with Facebook too.
What do you get out of social media? Is it worth it?
43 unread emails, 1713 emails in out inbox, 18 new letters in the mail, 33 ideas in our head, 4 piles of papers on our desk, 36 items on our to do list and a blinking answering machine. Our inboxes (electronic and physical) are constantly being filled with more demands on our time. To keep our sanity and be productive we must take a short time to “process” our overflowing inboxes and get it empty (or as close as possible). This will ensure that our task lists are filled with manageable tasks.
Here’s a quick mnemonic to making this process go faster and efficiently- use the 9 Ds: Delete, Deposit (file), Deflect, Deter, Delegate, Defer, Designate(calendar), Do Now, (To) Do List.
File your reference information. Many of the files on your desk or old emails are no longer needed except as a reference just in case. If you think you’ll need it someday- just put it in a obvious file folder- out of site so when you’ll need it you can quickly find. Get it out of the way so it’s not cluttering your workspace.
If you are definitely the wrong person for this task then quickly point the requestor to the right place and get this out of your boxes. You don’t to do this immediately so you don’t hold up the project.
Learn how to say no. Not every request that comes to your inbox means you must do it. See if it fits within your responsibilities and/or goals. If not just say “no”.
There are some tasks that should be done but someone else can help you with it. If someone on your staff or your spouse etc can do it let them help you especially if they can do it better. Some people get in the mindset that only they can do a task, that they do it best. Given some else a chance. Keep in mind when you delegate you are not completely giving up the task, you will still get the last word and should keep a follow-up on your task list so the issue is done on time with quality.
Some tasks are interesting but it’s not important or urgent. Put it on your “someday/maybe list”. This way you’ll still have it on your radar but it wont clutter your mind. Examples of items to defer are painting the house (you dont have time for it now anyway), launching a completely new product etc or other tasks that you know aren’t needed in the near future.
Designate a specific time for an appointment. Just put it on your calendar and move on. An appointment should sit in one central place so you dont double book your time or miss appointments.
Any task that takes two minutes or less should be done quickly. No excuses- do it. It will feel great to shorten your to do list.
All other tasks go on your “to do” list. Just get it out of your inbox.
This post was inspired by: Matthew Cornell’s post The Path of Maximum Productivity: Seven tensions, and how to resolve them. Thanks Matthew.

Well tonight I had 8oz chicken thigh stir-fry and I had 2 serrano peppers, and 1 red bell pepper in the veggie mix. Assuming it wouldn’t just be tomatoes but nightshades in general I don’t think I have a problem there because I feel great right now (only had chicken and the mixed vegetables, no basmati rice). Any kind of pasta has always given me the ‘carb high’ especially macaroni and cheese… Talk about the green apple splatters and IBS the next day. But then again I also eat mac n’ cheese with habaneros, ground pepper, and sriracha on top.
Raster: I’m actually trying to chew more lately my g/f says I inhale my food.

With advanced metering in place, Florida’s Lakeland Electric decided to leverage its data collection and management capabilities to help customers engage with the utility in meaningful and productive ways. The utility selected the web-based energy analysis, education, and engagement platform, EMPOWER, from Apogee Interactive to transform its relationship with customers.
Lakeland Electric is the third largest public power utility in the State of Florida serving 127,000 customers. Apogee Interactive is a marketing partner of Hometown Connections and is the nation’s leading full-service provider of proactive customer engagement software services for utilities.
Use smart grid data to provide customers with historical & future energy use.
Enable customers to use their Energy Profile via the utility’s website to manage energy dollars.
Lakeland Electric selected Apogee Interactive as the project vendor after a competitive bid process. The utility solicited proposals to have a vendor supply two products; the first was an assortment of online energy management tools that take advantage of the smart grid data, for use by utility customers and employees; the second was a new website, with an updated design and improved navigation. Vendors were evaluated on eight criteria (Price, Online Tools, Deliverables, Web Site Offering, Post-Implementation Support, Project Timeline, Examples of Similar Work, and References). Apogee scored the highest of the five firms that submitted proposals.
Apogee’s EMPOWER is a comprehensive Digital Engagement Platform that combines billing & AMI data, customer information, and home profiles. EMPOWER enables a host of personalized, relevant messaging and cost-cutting opportunities. Benefits to the utility include reducing calls to the call center, shortening calls that do come in, and generating an e-mail address for greater customer digital engagement.
Energy Advisor is the heart of the EMPOWER platform. It enables customers to enter their home profile and e-mail address to receive an in-depth audit of their home and ongoing updates to their energy performance as they make changes.
Energy Forecast lets visitors to the utility website know how the weather is going to impact their daily and weekly energy costs in advance of them receiving their bills, while there is still time to impact them. This application includes a virtual thermostat letting customers change settings to see how much a single degree of comfort costs. Alerts enable customers to specify what kind of bill-related notifications they want to receive (above threshold amount, higher than last month, etc.) by what method (text, e-mail, phone, etc.).
Personal Video Messaging creates customized movies for each customer explaining their bills, letting them know why they are different from last month or same month last year. Other video messaging includes Energy Summary Reports, Beat the Peak requests, Storm Alerts and other public service announcements personalized to that customer’s home and situation.
“These useful informational touch-points are building trust, confidence, and digital engagement with our customers,” Kus said.
Lakeland Electric is gathering statistical feedback from its customers regarding their satisfaction with its energy management toolset. The utility has engaged an outside firm to perform monthly transaction surveys. Recent results show that on a scale of 1-10 (10 being 100% satisfaction), the toolset has a score of 86% satisfaction. As of February 2018, 11% of, or about 14,000, utility customers have created profiles on the website.
For 2018 and beyond, Lakeland Electric will continue to grow the number of customers setting up energy profiles, analyze traffic patterns and user preferences to fine-tune the toolset, and launch enhancements such as a comprehensive video messaging campaign and links to Amazon’s “Alexa” virtual assistant.

According to Durden, the LEA has operated at a deficit for quite some time, due to low enrollment and expenses involved with providing the necessary instructors and supplies. There are also other providers who offer similar training for much less, or for no cost at all. “We have been duplicating services offered at the Regional Academy in Garden City, and at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, and the cost and time requirement of our program is more for students. It has become harder and harder to compete,” stated Durden. POST offers its own training programs which were previously only for police agency sponsored candidates, whereas OTC could offer its program to those wishing to enter law enforcement without having a job already. About a year ago, POST regional academies began admitting those who were not already employed with a police agency. With less tuition and a five-week shorter term, the competition for OTC’s program became more significant.
Ogeechee Tech will continue to offer its Criminal Justice program for those interested in a career in law enforcement. The final graduation ceremony for the LEA will take place May 4 in the Kennedy Auditorium on the College’s main campus in Statesboro.
GIS has been offered at the College much longer than the Basic Law Enforcement program, but has seen its own challenges related to enrollment. With declining numbers for several years, it reached a point where it is no longer financially feasible to provide the program, according to Durden.
“One advantage of our technical college system is the capacity to adjust our programs to the needs of the local communities. While we are discontinuing some programs, we are adding new ones to meet the needs of our area. We always want to be responsive to the workforce demands of our area, and that need, or lack thereof, helps determine which programs we offer,” said Durden.

It is only during the 70s that environmentalism emerged as an organized movement in India. And the credit for this goes to the Stockholm Conference of 1972. The Government of India, while preparing for India’s participation in the Stockholm Conference, set up a National Committee on Environmental Planning and Co-ordination. Consisting of 14 Members picked from diverse fields of environment management, the Committee’s main function was to advise and recommend to the Central Government the improvement of environment. It was entrusted with the task of planning and coordinating national environmental policies. The Actual implementation of these policies was left to the Ministries and Government agencies. Then in January 1980, the Central Government appointed a Committee, known as Tiwari Committee, to recommend legislative measures and administrative machinery for ensuring environmental protection. A direct result of the recommendations of the Tiwari Committee was the birth of Department of Environment on 1st November 1980. The Department was to Act, both as a coordinating as well as an administrative body. It had not only to co-ordinate national policies for environmental protection and management but also to shoulder administrative responsibilities for regulating and monitoring environmental pollution. In 1985, the Ministry of Environment and Forests was created, subsuming the Department of Environment. Since then, the Ministry of Environment and Forests is the apex body of the Central Government responsible for the planning, promotion and coordination of environmental and forestry programme. At the State level, environmental Boards were set up at the behest of the National Committee on Environmental Planning and Coordination. These Boards were subsequently converted into environmental Departments. Yet another class of institutions for environmental management is the Central and State Pollution Control Boards. These Boards were first established under The Water Act of 1974, to implement the provisions of the Water Act, when they were known as the Central/State Water Pollution Control Board(s). With the enactment of the Air Act in 1981, these Boards had also to monitor air pollution along with water pollution. They were, therefore, re-named as Central/State Pollution Control Board(s). The State Boards implement and enforce the pollution control laws. They lay down standards of pollution as well as make consent orders for discharging sewage or trade effluent into the water and air. They enjoy the powers of closure and stoppage of supply of electricity and water to the offending industry. They can also initiate litigation by filing a complaint in the Court. But they cannot punish the violators of environment.
Ancient Indians worshipped nature. Their love and profound respect for environment finds expression in ancient Indian literature. The Vedas are replete with hymns in praise of nature: “I worship the Lord of Air and Water...I worship these again and again”. Few know that world’s first recorded conservation measures, especially for wildlife, were enacted in India around 2300 years ago. Emperor Asoka’s stone edicts on protection of birds and animals survive even to this day. Environmental statutes in modern India date back to mid-nineteenth century. Some of these laws deal with natural resources such as the forests and others cover water and air pollution.
The Forest Acts of 1865 and 1878 were pieces of colonial legislation. Both the Acts restricted the access of the tribal communities to forest resources and gave exclusive ownership and control over the forests to the colonial masters. In 1927, The Forest Act was passed, repealing the Forest Acts of 1865 and 1878. The Forest Act of 1927 too vests the ownership and control over forest resources in the Government and not in the village communities. The Act empowers the Government to notify any forestland or wasteland as ‘reserved forests’ and certain forests and trees as ‘protected’. Further, the Government can prohibit the breaking up of land for cultivation, pasturing of cattle or clearing of vegetation. Though the Act purported to prevent deforestation, in reality it led to further degradation of environment, as it advanced the cause of forest-based industries.
The rapid drift towards deforestation during the Second World War and the post- independence developmental Activities further aggravated environmental degradation. So, in 1952, the national policy laid down that one third of the total geographical area in India should be brought under tree cover. Pursuant to the Stockholm Conference in 1972, which adopted that natural resources, including forests, should be safeguarded, the subject of forests was deleted from the State list and included in the Concurrent List by the Constitutional (42nd Amendment) Act of 1976. To arrest ecological imbalance and to provide for the conservation of forests by checking indiscriminate diversion of forestlands for non-forest purposes, The Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980 was passed by Indian Parliament, increasing the control of the Central Government over the forest resources. This Act makes it necessary for the State Governments to seek prior approval of the Central Government for de-reserving forests, using forestlands for non-forest purposes or leasing of forestlands. In 1988, pursuant to IX World Forestry Conference, the Indian Government amended the Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980 and also formulated a 22 Vedas literally means ‘knowledge’. They are the first records of the ancient Indians on history, law, economics, religion, philosophy, ethics, environment, aesthetics and other subjects. There are yet other laws that deal with wildlife protection such as The Elephants’ Preservation Act of 1879; and The Wild Birds and Animals Protection Act of 1912.
The objective of the new Forest Policy is to preserve forests as a national resource and to put them to their best use. It envisages social forestry with the help of forest-dwellers and local communities.
In pre-independent India, several statutes were enacted to solve the problem of water pollution. The earliest statute addressing water pollution was The Shore Nuisance (Bombay and Kolaba) Act, 1853. This was followed by The Orient Gas Company Act 1857, The Serais Act of 1867, The Indian Penal Code 1872, The Northern Indian Canal and Drainage Act 1873, The Obstruction in Fairways Act 1881, The Indian Ports Act 1908 and The Indian Steam Vessels Act. After independence in 1947, laws such as The River Boards Act 1956 and The Merchant Shipping Act 1958 were enacted. These laws were found practically ineffective in preventing water pollution because they merely touched one or the other aspect of water pollution. After the Stockholm Conference, Indian Parliament passed The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, to prevent and control water pollution and to maintain and restore the wholesomeness of water. As Stated earlier, ‘water’ being a State subject, the State legislatures could have enacted their own laws. But the Water Act is a Central Law. It is a classical example of voluntary surrender of legislative power to Central Government by the State Governments. The Act is a typical command-and-control legislation, comprising a set of “dos” and “don’ts” that are backed by fines and imprisonment. The Act prohibits the discharge of pollutants into water bodies beyond a given standard, and lays down penalties for non-compliances. The responsibility for the enforcement of the Act lies primarily with the State Pollution Control Boards. The Central Pollution Control Board, on the other hand has the mandate to advise the Central Government, co-ordinate the Activities of the State Pollution Control Boards, and to provide them with technical assistance. The Central Pollution Control Board therefore has no real regulatory powers. In other words, while emission/effluent standards are set at the national level, the responsibility for monitoring and enforcement rests with the State Governments. But, from the view point of environmental federalism, the 1988 amendment of the Water Act is quite significant in the sense that it increases the power of the Central Board vis a vis the State Boards. After the amendment the Central Government is empowered to decide that a State Board has failed to comply with the directions of the Central Board and that the functions and powers of the State Board to be taken over by the Central Board. The Water Act does not provide for the funding of the Pollution Control Boards despite the innumerable functions they have to discharge. Hence, The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act of 1977 was enacted to enable the Boards to meet their expenses.
The earliest State enactments controlling air pollution by smoke are The Bengal Smoke Nuisance Act 1905, The Bombay Smoke Nuisance Act 1912 and The Gujarat Smoke Nuisance Act 1963. These State enactments were enacted to abate the nuisance arising from excessive smoke from furnaces in cities. The Indian Boiler Act 1923 and The Factories Act 1948 contain some provisions regulating air pollution within the factory. Then in 1981, closely following on the heels of the Water Act, came The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act. In 1987, the Air Act was amended to bring its provisions on par with The Environment (Protection) Act of 1986. The provisions of The Air Act are similar to The Water Act. The functions and the enforcement powers of the State Pollution Control Boards are also similar to those under the Water Act. Under this Act all industries, new as well as old, have to obtain consent orders from the State Boards to operate within air pollution control areas, delineated by the Boards. In practice, all States in India have declared themselves entirely as air pollution control areas. Thus, the whole country is de facto a pollution control area.
The Water and the Air Acts are piecemeal legislations. Their approach to environment is sectoral, as they focus on only one specific type of pollution. Though they were consistent with the limited objectives of their times, they failed to regard environment as a whole. The need for a general legislation for environmental protection, therefore, led to the enactment of The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. While this Act provides the Central Government with greater powers to set environmental as well as effluent and emission standards, the enforcement powers have been delegated entirely to the States. Rule 3(2) of The Environment (Protection) Rules tilts the balance firmly towards the centre. It clearly specifies that the States can have more but not less stringent standards than the centre.
As a response to the Bhopal gas tragedy, the worst industrial disaster in the world, Indian Parliament enacted The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991. This Act makes mandatory for all hazardous chemical industries to ensure themselves so as to provide immediate relief to persons, when affected by accidents occurring while handling hazardous substances exceeding the quantity specified in the Act. It also provides for the establishment of an environment relief fund.
Pursuant to The Rio Summit of 1992, Indian Parliament passed The National Environmental Tribunal Act, 1995. This Act provides for strict liability for damages arising out of accidents occurring while handling hazardous substances exceeding the quantity specified under The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991. It prescribes stringent penal provisions (fines and imprisonment) for abuse of environment. It also provides for the establishment of a national environment tribunal for expeditious and effective disposal of cases arising from such accidents.
Environment is immune to political boundaries. This is because of the inherent global nature of environment itself. Our planet is one. Our globe is one. All nations are just components of it. Often environment problems, with essentially local impact, have global implications as to qualify for international concern. Thus, although social and economic development is essentially a national issue, its advancement can be a global concern. Further, environmental disasters are not local in their consequences. The sulphur emissions from the American steel mills come down in the form of acid rains destroying the Canadian forests. The toxic industrial effluents discharged into the Rhine by the chemical units in Switzerland poison the drinking water in Holland. The radioactive waste in the Ukraine contaminates the vegetables in Sweden. Power stations in England and Germany pollute the Norwegian lakes and trees. Tree felling in Nepal leads to flooding in Bangladesh. The Chernobyl blast made undrinkable the milk of the cows in Scotland. And the CFC emissions in the north cause skin cancer in the southern hemisphere. International concern for environment dates back to the 19th century. In the 20th century, after the Second World War, environmental concerns appeared on the agenda of a wide variety of international organizations. There were landmark international efforts to protect birds, fish, wildlife and wetlands; to prevent pollution of sea by oil; to ban testing of all kinds of weaponry; dumping of nuclear waste in Antarctic etc. These categories reflect a broadening of the environmental agenda from purely national issues, where single State jurisdiction was apparent, to concerns for the wilderness and wildlife, high seas and nuclear pollution, which are outside the ambit of national jurisdiction and which affect the mother earth as a whole. The future of the earth depends on adopting a model of sustainable development and this was enunciated in Agenda 21 of the Earth Summit in 1992. Protection of ecology, on which depends the survival of mankind, is therefore a common task.

I spent my whole morning phoning hospitals and clinics asking for cardiologists, their schedules and consultation fees.I filled up at least three pages of my notebook with names and information.
The reason is - my father needed to see one.
And as I was doing that, my mind has been flying and imagining worse things and it made me feel bad and sad. You see, one of my greatest fear is losing my parents. There is no way I can be ready with that. I guess no one is.
My father has been weak since the day we picked him up from my sister's place in Bulacan. Difficulty in breathing is his major complaint. He's been in medication for years now but sad to say that he has not been to the doctor also for quite sometime.
I pray I'll be okay and I'll stop worrying too much.
