No Milkweed, No Monarchs: Why Asclepias Plants Are So Very Important!
Although it won’t be official until mid-March, when the Mexican government releases the winter’s population count, ‘unofficial’ reports are anticipating a rather small migrating population. These unofficial reports are coming from the El Rosario Sanctuary in Mexico (see video example from 2016 at the end of this post); a site that can sometimes be the winter home for over 50% of the entire monarch population in Mexico. Reports and photos show butterflies densely covering approximately 18 trees. That’s good news, but last year, reports were that 50 trees were covered.
That’s not good news, but it is a call to action: PLANT MORE MILKWEED!
Humans are a fickle bunch, and try as I might, they are hard to figure. Say one thing, mean another. Say one thing, find out it wasn’t true. Commit to one thing, then change courses. Not saying I’m any different, but the dependability of nature (well maybe not weather) is something that brings me a lot of comfort. Cycles that repeat; you sort of come to depend on them. Geese come south, geese go north. Jenny wrens nesting in the same clay pots they used the year before. My mother in law’s daffodils emerging in late February, as they have been since she planted 30+ years ago. Even the sturgeon have decided the river is clean enough to make a comeback. We brought them to the brink of extinction, then we decided to bring them back. See what I mean? Fickle.
The monarch migration is the longest known insect migration on earth.

There are a lot of buzzwords that often circulate the business world; ‘delegating’ is one of them. If you’re wondering what exactly delegating means in business terms, as well as how to effectively apply it to see beneficial results for your company, then read on.
Delegating is the act of entrusting – usually a task – in another person. This is usually a task that you pass over to someone that comes with an element of responsibility. Someone will normally delegate to another person who is less senior than they are, and it occurs mostly in the workplace.
What is delegating in business?
Delegating in business is where a manager will pass over a task to someone in a position or role below them; it’s another form – and main component – of team management. With this task, a manager will also hand over the responsibility that comes with it. There are many reasons why delegating in a business is an effective way of managing tasks, but there are also right and wrong ways in which managers can delegate. We will explore these below.
Delegation in a company should be used as a tool, not a power trip. This is really important to remember as delegating is more than just clearing the workload off of your desk. There are a few ideal times to delegate a task to another team member. The first would be under certain situations such as time restraints for a project deadline. If the workload is getting too much and you have deadlines you need to meet, then small tasks and responsibilities can be passed over to other members of the team.
Another example of when you should delegate work is to push your staff to help them grow and develop. Passing over work is also passing over responsibility, and more often than not, this will make your staff feel valued and trusted. It will also give them the opportunity to learn more and develop their skill set which can only be a good thing. Just make sure you’re prepared to guide them along the way to get the best results for the both of you.
There are circumstances where delegation should not occur. No manager should delegate work to a less senior staff member just because he can’t be bothered to do it himself. This is just plain lazy and it will consequently look bad on him.
In addition to this, work should not be delegated if you know there are high standards to be met. Unfortunately, you can’t always be certain that the person you delegate the work to is going to complete it to a high-quality, or even complete it to the set deadline. If the work is of utmost importance, it might be a good idea to do it yourself.
Finally, if you are personally involved in the project, it makes perfect sense for you to do the work yourself. For example, if you need to write a project proposal and you know everything about the project – inside and out – why would you pass it on to someone who knows nothing? This would also make no sense when it comes to presenting the proposal as you might not be able to follow it correctly.
Knowing what work to not delegate is one thing, but knowing what work is suitable is another. The best kind of work to delegate is work which is reoccurring. If you give the same person the same tasks, they will become more comfortable doing the work to a high standard and you will feel more comfortable leaving it in their capable hands.
The best work to delegate to another member of staff will be work that is best suited to that person. There’s little point asking them to carry out a task they know absolutely nothing about, because, even with guidance, they might not completely grasp it. This could potentially jeopardise your reputation. Try to match the workload with the employee as much as possible.
To whom should you delegate?
As mentioned above, the best person to take on the work is someone who is somewhat knowledgeable in the subject area so that the work will be done to a higher standard. It’s also a good idea to consider how heavy their workload is too – you don’t want the work to be rushed or for the deadline to be missed.
Make sure you trust them enough to leave both the work and responsibility in their hands. No employee wants to be offloaded with work to have their manager constantly breathing down their necks about it.
How do you delegate effectively?
Now it comes down to knowing how to effectively delegate work. First of all, you need to have control over the situation. Be sure of who you want to delegate the work to and be sure what work it is that you want to pass on. Be clear what the deadlines are, too.
Be clear with your staff member over what is it you want them to do. Explain to them why and how you need their help with this work.
Be prepared to have to give them some guidance. They might not know as much as you do. If this is the case, help them out if they ask for it or offer your advice even if they don’t. It’s in both your interests as you will get a higher standard of work back and they will be able to learn more.
Offer them the chance to review the task rather than simply hand over the work and take back the final piece. You could call a meeting halfway to the deadline to see how they are getting on and if they need any further help or direction. This will also give you a chance to take a look at how they’re doing so far so that you can push them in the desired direction.
Have faith in your employee. Don’t just hand over the work, hand over the responsibility too. As important as it is to offer them guidance and support, you also need to let them get on with the job so it’s a weight off your shoulders. That’s what delegation is all about, right?
Finally, give your employee credit for their hard work. Nobody likes someone who uses other people to come out on top, so if someone has worked hard for your delegated work, show them they’re appreciated.

Buckhead glam is staging a comeback. For proof, look no further than Mission + Market—if you can find it. The confusing location in the Never Never Land behind Phipps Plaza does not adequately broadcast what’s in store, but once you’ve stumbled into the Alliance Center space, the allure of the scene is unmistakable. Where else but in a neighborhood synonymous with the confluence of commerce and party life would you find a crush of singles ready to spend whatever it takes to satisfy their various appetites? The real surprise, however, is that Mission + Market is as serious about food as it is about style.
Born in a tiny village a few miles from the southern coast of England, Ian Winslade describes himself as a reluctant chef. His dream was to become an engineer, but, lacking the resources, he went to culinary school instead. Classically trained in French cuisine, he scored an apprenticeship in London and bounced around some of the United States’s most prestigious restaurants (Le Bernardin and Jean-Georges among them) on both coasts, ending up in Atlanta. In 1994, he was the opening chef at Tom Catherall’s then revolutionary Tom Tom in Lenox Square. At 54, after working for decades at places such as Bluepointe and Murphy’s, he has finally taken the plunge and opened a place of his own. No longer will anyone tell him what to put on his menu.
Ian Winslade, a classically trained chef, grew up near the southern coast of England.
Winslade, who describes himself as “practically a pescatarian,” isn’t the kind of chef who wants to break down a whole pig or limit himself to the fare of the South. He is mostly inspired by the West Coast, where food tends to be lighter and more global. His backers in Mission + Market, Jonathan and Tony Akly, whose various business ventures focus on restaurant design and construction, are lucky to have found in Winslade a chef ready to explore his newfound freedom.
Winslade spent his childhood minutes away from the ocean, with beautiful fresh fish in abundance, and it’s no coincidence that the vast majority of his dishes at Mission + Market involve delicate seafood preparations, many of them using no heat at all. It takes skill and knowledge to handle raw fish this way: glossy American red snapper with yuzu emulsion and impossibly thin Fresno chilies, juniper-cured steelhead trout with micro radish, albacore chu-toro painted with sesame. The best of these is a pearly ceviche of dayboat scallops with cilantro, mint, tomato, and jalapeño, simply seasoned with olive oil, lime, and fleur de sel.
The bracing astringency of Winslade’s pickled oysters (with Sichuan pepper, cucumber, and lemon) is at the opposite end of the spectrum from his mellow, butter-basted clams with celery salad. His talents are on fullest display in a masterful dish of Maine mussels opened in white wine, garlic, shallots, and European butter, arranged like a bouquet and finished with bright parsley and lacy rusks of grilled bread.
Among the entrees, the almost-creamy steelhead trout over pea-scented rice grits is a miracle of delicacy, while the slender fillets of pan-sauteed European black bass feel timid next to a vivid pool of beet raita scented with cumin. Not everyone has to eat fish at Mission + Market; there is a stupefyingly rich and delicious wild mushroom polenta with a centerpiece of marrow bone (properly cut crosswise); a hearty rigatoni alla bolognese in a mist of microplaned Parmigiano Reggiano; and, for customers with more mainstream taste, a few pizzas and hamburgers.
Among the desserts, a matcha cake made with powdered green tea and pistachio creme patissiere and a strawberry rhubarb sundae with vanilla ice cream, sea salt, shortbread cookie, whipped cream, and toasted pecans are both easygoing and on the lighter side, if a little low on pizzazz.
A bottle of wine from the well-composed list is a better option than the often-silly riffs on classic cocktails or a glass of pinot noir from the Willamette Valley served at too warm a temperature.
How does someone humanize a giant glass box in an office park? Tony Akly of Restaurant Consulting Group, a structural engineer with an appetite for flashy details, pulls it off with a living wall of yellow-green moss, a trail of electric blue, crushed-velvet banquettes, mature ficus trees, a reasonably friendly show kitchen, and a sprawling patio. The combined effect counterbalances the severe slate and concrete aesthetics.
Mission + Market is rigorous enough about its food for gourmands and glamorous enough for scenesters. It also allows an old-school chef to return to what he truly loves: seafood without fuss.

Most Eden Prairie, Excelsior, Chaska and Chanhassen Minnesota car owners don’t service their air conditioning until after it fails. Maintaining your car or truck air conditioning system means that you always have enough refrigerant to properly do the job. Small leaks in the air conditioning system allow the refrigerant to escape and the system can’t cool the air as well.
Along with the refrigerant, a special oil circulates in the system. The oil lubricates air conditioning components, and keeps the seals resilient. Low refrigerant and lubricating oil means that the air conditioning parts will wear out prematurely, and we all know that air conditioning repairs can be costly in and around the Chanhassen and Eden Prairie area.
Air conditioning service at our shop in Chanhassen, MN starts with a visual inspection of the components for signs of damage or leaks. The compressor is driven by a belt from the engine, most often the serpentine belt, so it’s inspected for cracks or wear.

Everyone has the same dream that is to have a house that they can call their home and where they can live peacefully with their children and loved ones. It is one of the basic requirements of every person as it protects them from any type of climatic changes and weather related problems. Hence, it becomes essential that you pay proper attention on the construction and maintenance of the house.
While constructing a house you should always hire a professional building contractor and architect. They have proper knowledge regarding all these works and will give many innovative ideas that you can execute in your house. The people in London prefer hiring the professionals so that their house is constructed to perfection. In London, there are many building companies such as DFinalTouch Engineering Ltd that can provide you construction as well as renovation work within your budget and requirement.
One of the main benefits of hiring professionals is that you need not to take any tension about house and its designing. They have appropriate devices and tools through which they will work effectively and will do all the mapping work within less time. They have professional staff with them that will work with full dedication and will assure that all the construction related work will be completed within the given time. They work as per the working standard of the company rules, regulations and norms. In fact, they are budget conscious also and will make sure that all the work is done within your estimated budget. And if not then they will tell you various cost effective methods that will help you in reducing the extra expenses which you can invest in other important areas.
Not only for home construction, you can hire them for renovation work, home extension and for several other services.

The need of an additional space might arise any time and most of the businesses consider getting a new building constructed. However, this is a time as well as money consuming option. One of the best options that can save the businesses is having a temporary building. The temporary buildings are structured in a variety of sizes with many latest designs that are capable to meet with your specific budget. There are many companies who design and manufacture the temporary building as per the needs of the businesses.
Canopy range: These industrial canopy buildings protect your goods and tools from weather in emergency cases. These types of buildings are generally made up of very strong and aluminum frame and are highly durable. The floor system and wall systems are protected from fire and safety. They can take heavy load of snow and winds and are designed keeping in mind the safety. These types of buildings are effective and affordable in loading and unloading equipments or goods.
Protect range: This type of temporary building provides you an excellent storage for an immediate storage or activities. They do not require temperature maintenance, as these buildings are made up of strong long- lasting aluminum frame. Roof, floor and wall system conforms to fire safety codes. These buildings are very easy to extend and easy to relocate.
These temporary buildings can be used for several things like they can be used as warehouses, garages, workshops, fire stations, waste processing units, recreational buildings etc.

Patra's Other Place: I am still here!
My apologies to anyone who still visits this blog and is wondering if I am still alive. Yep, alive and well, but busy now as an administrator on a new forum, which is where I post most of the chit chat that I used to post here!


text:
After four-months at the British Museum, the Celts exhibition has come to Edinburgh revised and with additional exhibits. Rattle asked the curators Dr Fraser Hunter and Dr Martin Goldberg to reflect on what we know about the Celtic people.
The idea of Celts is a complicated one. It means different things to different people, and has meant different things at different times to the extent that using it too generally as a term to define a particular people, place or period is virtually meaningless.
Nevertheless, by looking at the things that have been called Celtic, and specifically Celtic art, we can explore a layered and complex history which covers two and half millennia, with connections running the length and breadth of Europe.
In short, there isn’t one ‘Celtic art’. What was widespread, if exclusive, across temperate Europe in the Iron Age became markedly different and increasingly restricted to Britain and Ireland with the rise of the Roman Empire. The response to the Romans in these islands comes to distinguish ‘our’ style from those developed on the continent.
This continues with the advent and spread of Christianity – it’s only quite late in the story, around 700AD, and correspondingly towards the end of the exhibition that you get to the interlace or knotwork style which is probably the most popular notion today of what ‘Celtic art’ looks like, and is readily found in tourist gift shops.
How we come to think of all that stuff as ‘Celtic’ is another story entirely, largely shaped during the Celtic revival around a thousand years later. ‘Celtic’ had only come back into use as a term after the invention of the printing press made the historical sources of ancient Greek and Roman authors more widely available during the 16th century – the Greeks and the Romans had used the terms Celts and Celtic to describe peoples they had encountered north of the Alps but, after the Roman Empire, nobody talked about Celts, and nobody talked about themselves as Celts for 1000 years.
The rediscovery of these ancient written references resurrected the word, and it was applied liberally to a wide range of material from a variety of times, places and peoples.
Industrialisation in particular had led to a huge increase in the amount of material being brought out of the ground at a pace which it’s fair to say rather outstripped the growth of the understanding of archaeology at the time. The clearest modern use of Celtic from the 18th century recognised the links between languages still spoken in Britain and Ireland and related languages spoken much more widely across ancient Europe by the people the Greeks knew as Celts.
The origins of the term ‘Celtic art’ come from attempts to chronologically organise objects in the collections of National Museums Scotland and the British Museum into narratives of national history in the 1850s and 1860s. These two collections in Edinburgh and London, fundamental to the original identification of Celtic art, have been brought together 150 years later because of their respective strengths in order to tell a more complete and yet a more complex story than either could alone, incorporating up to date research and knowledge.
Added to that are the international loans – 15 British and 14 international lenders – which have been made possible in part due to the combined pulling power of our two institutions working together, particularly in the case of the mighty Gundestrup cauldron from the National Museum of Denmark. A spectacular and vivid embodiment of some of the key points we make in the exhibition, it has long been considered an iconic symbol of the Celtic world but, like most of this story, it’s more complicated than that and, accordingly, more interesting.
Many of the scenes on the Gundestrop cauldron are fantastical, but they include objects typical of western and central Europe, such as the torc and the carnyx. However, the style of decoration and the use of silver suggest that this cauldron was made in south-east Europe in Bulgaria or Romania, where silver working was common. Its visual connections stretch even further, as far as Asia on the panel that features stylised Indian elephants. The cauldron ended up far from where it was made, buried as an offering in a Jutland bog, then retrieved by astonished Danish peat cutters in 1891.
The British Museum run was a great success, and indeed some people reading this will have seen the exhibition in London. However, there are many reasons to visit again here in Edinburgh.
For one thing, roughly 85% of the objects are the same jaw-droppingly beautiful and entrancing things as were in the BM show, and we bring out many different strands of their stories here.
We are also able to present some fantastic new international loans to help us tell some different stories. The Mezek terrets (chariot fittings) on loan from the National museum Bulgaria, with their hidden faces and symbolism, shows the great geographic range at the beginning of our story stretching across Iron Age Europe.
Dea Artio, the bear goddess statue, is one of the great treasures of the Bern History Museum, showing how Roman influence changed earlier beliefs and made them visible in new forms.
The Macregol gospels from the Bodleian library, University of Oxford, show the intricate designs of early Christian manuscript art developed in Britain and Ireland and the Athelstan Gospels from the British Library allows us to scale out again to a European perspective, showing how that style of illuminated gospel influenced later continental manuscripts.
On loan from closer to home at the National Library of Scotland, we see how popular Celtic myths were spread through European romanticism. Not any old copy of James MacPherson’s Ossian is on display, but the one owned by Napoleon Bonaparte.
The Parnell casket, from National Museum of Ireland helps to illustrate the political importance of the Celtic revival during the struggle for Irish independence. You will only see these treasures here in Edinburgh.
Some material from our own collection was not in London. Most obviously, we are pleased to take this opportunity to display a spectacular reconstruction of a chariot found at Newbridge in 2001. It is the only known example of a chariot burial in Scotland, and the oldest in Britain. Chariot burials are far more common in France and so we see again evidence of connections and of international ideas.
Some readers will have seen the Deskford Carnyx, and will possibly even have heard our replica being played. What nobody has seen before is this Scottish carnyx alongside examples from France and Germany, highlighting a recurring theme of local variations on international ideas – a Europe of regions.
Those who’ve seen the show in London will appreciate how the interpretation and narrative differs here – partly for the different space, partly for different audience and partly reflecting our own curatorial interests and specialist knowledge.
Our introduction highlights the myths and realities behind the idea of the Celts and how we then use decorated objects to tell four main stories of different Celtic arts – the connected and divided world of Iron Age Europe, the impact of Rome, the lasting legacy of a new Christian world and finally how Celts were rediscovered and reinvented hundreds of years later during the Celtic revival. These different Celtic arts reveal key moments of contact and change in European history.
The other thing we’ve consciously done differently is the ending. An illustration called Anima Celtica by John Duncan, dating from 1895, distils the essence of what the whole show is about, and also has an interesting little backstory of its own. In it, Duncan tried to embody a ‘Celtic Soul’, a central figure surrounded by scenes from Ossianic myths and a number of objects which he saw as ‘Celtic’.
Those objects actually cover a sweep of over 2000 years and have connections not to a single people or race (definitely not a race), but to a series of different historical moments, which need to be teased apart, not bundled together into a timeless Celtic tale. The interesting footnote is that all of the object images Duncan draws upon are from the 1892 illustrated catalogue of the National Museum of Scottish Antiquities, i.e. the predecessor of our museum. We display the drawing, the catalogue and the actual objects themselves as the closing moment of the exhibition – a perfect visualisation of myths and realities.

If you only have a few observations or identifications we'll probably ask you to continue using the site for a little while until you understand it from a normal user's perspective. Curators can also promote other users to curator status. Please only promote people you trust and that you know to have some taxonomic knowledge and attention to detail.
Site Admins help administer national nodes in the iNaturalist Network including how those nodes are configured etc.
Copyright violations should be flagged, i.e. re-published text or images that were created by other people without any evidence of permission or license by the creator of the work. If copyrighted images are used, flag the photo(s) directly rather than the observation. You can do this by clicking the "i" (white circle) below the photo and clicking "Flag this photo" in the very bottom righthand corner of that page. Then choose "copyright infringement" in the pop-up and save.
Sure, we have a tri-fold brochure available for download in PDF form here. It is written in English and is less of an instruction manual than it is a introduction to what iNaturalist is and how people can contribute.
Another method to obtain these coordinates is to have the user trust you, which they can do via the Manage Relationships link on their Account Settings page. If they trust you, you will be able to see all of their private or obscured locations.
Verifiable observations are labeled "Needs ID" until they either attain Research Grade status, or are voted to Casual via the Data Quality Assessment.

Jordan Spieth is going to serve some home cookin' when he hosts the 2016 Masters champions dinner.
The 22-year-old Masters and U.S. Open champion said ahead of his title defense at this week's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas that he will serve Texas Bar-B-Que.
Some brisket? Pulled pork? Beans? Corn? The menu isn't finalized, but it's going to be delicious.
Spieth's planned barbecue follows in the footsteps of Charl Schwartzel's South African-style grill dinner for the 2012 champions dinner, which was first held in 1952 at the behest of Ben Hogan.

The peaceful relations between Canada and the United States have lasted over two centuries. We trade with each other, take vacations in the United States and even visit Seattle’s amazing outlets for great shopping deals. Our countries share the longest international border in the world and we enjoy many benefits from our close proximity with the United States.
While we enjoy having the United States as neighbors, we also can’t help but notice key differences between Canada and the United States. We Canadians love and take pride in our cultural differences between Canada and the United States. We have different accents, we love how polite we are, we miss Tim Hortons when we cross the border, we enjoy eating Poutines, we love watching hockey more than baseball and we take pride in our maple syrup – and we’re proud of it!
When you take your next trip to the States, keep a look for these key differences between Canada and the United States you didn’t know.
In Canada, we measure beer by volume compared to the US, where beer is measured by mass. In the end, beer in Canada and beer in the US have the same alcoholic content but they are measured differently.
A key difference between the United States and Canada is that in Canada we call soft drinks pop, while in American they call it soda.
Canada has a larger land mass than the United States. The land area of Canada is 3, 855, 103 square miles compared to America’s 3, 794, 083, making Canada 1.6% larger that the States.
Even though Canada is a larger country, the United States has a population of 307,212,123 people compared to 33,487,208 people in Canada in 2010.
The United States has 13.8 babies per 1000 people, while Canada has 10.3 babies per 1000 people. Therefore, the United States has a 25.3% higher birth rate than Canada.
A key difference between the United States and Canada is the migrant rate. Canada has a 23.2% higher immigration rate than Americans, making our population more culturally diverse.
Canadians have a higher life expectancy at 81.2 years while Americans have a life expectancy of 78.1 years.
While we appreciate all the wonderful inventions that America has had – we’re also proud of the fact that Canada invented the telephone, the television, the zipper, the music synthesizer and basketball.
Canadians spell certain words with “our” instead of “or”. For example, Canadians will spell labour as labour, while Americans spell it as labor. Canadians also spell certain words with “re” instead of “er” so Canadians spell centre as centre, while Americans spell it as center.
These key differences between Canada and the United States help us to understand our cultures better and appreciate both the differences and similarities that our countries share.

selecting and sending from a list of “100+ cute things to say to your girlfriend” might be a daunting task especially if you are not romantic. But it is healthy never to think that it is a waste of time sending cute things to say to your girlfriend. If you do, believe me, your girlfriend will certainly walk away someday. Even if she does not walk away, they might be partly staying maybe as a result of the gift they do get from you, and the other part of them is lying in the hands of another guy behind the scene flooding them with cute things that they find awesome.
Women by nature admire being complimented and if you are romantic, you are definitely in the driver seat. They expect your actions to be driven alongside expressing them in words. A romantic relationship must not be devoid of verbal expression of feelings.

Whatever the case maybe, I got you 100+ cute things to say to your girlfriend.
The list of cute things to say to your girlfriend aren’t ambiguous, they are simple and modern. The list are filed with words that will make your girlfriend blush, shed tears of joy and happiness, and to dash her a romantic smile to the point that they get no satisfaction from someone else than you.

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) coordinates Antibiotic Awareness Week in Australia as part of a global initiative to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance and promote the responsible use of antibiotics.
Antibiotic resistance has been identified as one of the greatest threats to human health today.
The prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens is rising worldwide. Patients with infections due to resistant bacteria experience delayed recovery and treatment failure and are more likely to die than patients with infections from non-resistant bacteria.
Antibiotic resistance is happening now - it is a worldwide problem that affects human and animal health.
Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria develop defences that stop antibiotics from working effectively - meaning some infections may be impossible to treat.
A range of posters and infographics are available from the World Health Organization’s Antibiotic Awareness Week page.
There area Twitter discussions all week. Join the conversation and learn more about the problem of antibiotic resistance and safe antibiotic use. Many clinicians and organisations participate.
Follow the Commission @ACSQHC on Twitter, using the hashtags #AAW2018 #WAAW #AntibioticResistance and #AMR for the global Twitter chat.
utilising social media to promote key Antibiotic Awareness Week messages.
For further information on Antibiotic Awareness Week activities in South Australia, email SA Health's Infection Control Service.

What are you doing? Right now, with your life, what are you doing? Obviously right now you’re reading the ramblings of a random recluse, so the question isn’t meant for right this minute. This question has no time.
Time doesn’t exist. Time is basically the distance of us moving from any point we choose only to come back to the same exact point in a circular pattern. Any events to take place during this travel, we then measure its distance on the arc to the original point we chose, and that becomes how much time has passed. It is only a concept we created for keeping ourselves orientated in a linear fashion, from past to present to future.
So, what are you doing? Are you measuring time until something that you’ve been waiting for happens? Are you working? Are you eating? Are you just barely holding yourself together?
Or are you just doing all the things you’ve seen others do and created this idea that if you go against social construction that you’d be looked down upon for breaking away? Are you just filling your life with mundane tasks that you probably don’t even enjoy, or perhaps even barely understand. Obviously you must understand some of it, otherwise you might not be able to do some of those things, but you also end up asking yourself questions regarding if there is a better way, or perhaps if there are more efficient processes that are entirely different to get the same result?
Why haven’t you done all the things you’ve said you’ll do or just want to do? Why are the things that we hold most valuable in terms of doing, the same things that are always held away from us because it requires money, or it has prerequisites that must be fulfilled first in order to proceed?
Fillers. That is what most of our lives are until we figure out that one thing we want to do the most. And some of us never get to reach that stage. We fill our life with fluff to make it look like we are awesome, or having fun, or have everything under control when in reality we have no control, we have no idea what we are doing or even what we want. Some of us get trapped into a cycle of doing things, because if we stopped, it no longer affects only us but others as well. Parents and guardians are a good example of this.
We make excuses in regards to the fact that we have to eat, and we have to find a way to live and that we have to do what needs to be done in order to survive. Sure, if we lived in a 3rd world country where survival was just an every day thing. But in a Westernised world? What is our excuse then, when there are so many things accessible to us, including the most important thing of all in 2017, the internet.
There are so many options. There are so many avenues. We can all learn to survive, be able to eat, and still live the kind of lives we want in order to do the things we absolutely love in order to never have to work again simply because we love what we do.
So what are you doing? Are you on your way? Have you even, on a minuscule level, turned to face the direction you should be going?
What the fluff are you doing!?
If you’re able to answer that question, then you are to be commended. If you are even on some semblance able to derive some form of a direction from that question, you are to be commended.
For those of you who haven’t thought about it, or only recently realised that doing what you truly wanted was an option, this message is for you. Regardless of what you’re doing now or have done, or how far you’ve come in what you’re doing, this message is still definitely for you: It is never too late.
I’m nearly 30. I have a Bachelors Degree in Computing Systems and I was a full time developer until recently. I found out that my life was full of fluff. Things I did to justify where I was and where I was going, and the kicker amongst all of that was that I hated it all. I hated myself.
I’ve been a developer for 8 years now and began hating most of it after only 2 years. Let me be clear. I love development in the regard that I love to build. I love to create things and spend time to figure things out to make it work. I hated doing it as a job where receiving money was dependent on it. I hated working for others while doing that. I hated the restrictions and time constraints. Needless to say, career development was something not meant for me.
I will never lose my ability to be a developer and tinkerer. I still enjoy it and I still play around with it. But it will never be as a career or a job. Instead I just decided after an amazing phone call from a stranger who inspired me in ways I was not even prepared for, that I was going to become a writer. Full time. No matter what it took. And I would make a living of it.
My true focus is anything creative. The priorities in this creative venture are: writer, image manipulator and photographer. All the things that can be complementary to each other and is a collection of things I’ll be able to juggled realistically.
How am I doing this? Some help from my parents. A part time job to keep the bills at bay. A computer. And a will so powerful that I don’t even think it actually belongs to me. I’ve never had this before and therefore feels foreign to me. Pretty sure I’m possessed. Or something.
But this will that is so powerful is mine. I became so depressed at one point, I flushed all emotions (as a warning, a very dangerous thing to do when depressed) so that I could look at things in a purely logical format. And I found myself come to one solid conclusion: either I’m going to do what I love for the rest of my life, or there is actually no point in being here. And since the latter wasn’t an option, my passion was brought back to life.
I’m still nowhere near where I want to be. I’ve only just recently started this blog to get my writing practices and disciplines going. I’ve only just begun to start shooting again with my Nikon. And photoshop of course never really went anywhere, but then I never really did anything of significance with it either.
All of this changed when I decided that I was worth having the life I wanted. I was worth doing what I loved. And that I was going to be happy doing it. And god forbid anyone to get in my way now. I’m happier already. I’m now using more passion to get things done then any amount of discipline I could ever gain previously. It was completely worth it and while I have no idea where this leads, I’m looking forward to it.
You must remember that there will always be events to crop up and slow things down no matter how many detailed plans you have or how much effort you’re putting in. There is no way to stop the things that life might want to hurl in your direction.
The key is remembering that each of these occurrences are problems to be solved instead of obstacles to be overcome. Seeing these events as obstacles has the potential to discourage you because you’ll see something as in your way or trying to stop you. Where as problems to be solved have a higher chance of encouraging you because you’re always learning as you’re figuring things out. Which sounds more appealing, a routing puzzle to solve to get to the other side of the canyon? Or finding a way to dig through a wall? Perspective is everything.
There is no such thing as losing when you’ve got the right perspective. It is only winning or learning.
So what the freakin’ fluff are you doing?

I suggest you also have a pen and paper handy to take some notes or a means to record your call if it is a telephone reading. Please…be open and calm. It is very hard to do a reading if you are stressed and in a “negative” mind set. Take some deep breathes and relax before your reading. I have people ask me to slow down because I speak very quickly. I am sorry, but I simply can’t. The reason I talk so fast is I have to keep up with what I am being given for you. I know some people may find this style annoying or not for them and that is fine. If you feel we do not connect in the first 2 minutes of the psychic reading, feel free to say so and end the call.

Ovations School for the Arts Community Private School is a unique school that utilizes an arts-integrated curriculum, university-model format to encourage a student focused learning environment through project-based and experiential learning.
What is a Community Private School?
Ovations strives to break the barriers of traditional schooling but we also work hard to provide affordable education and community involvement. We continue to stay completely private to allow our students to grow and learn in a safe environment, free of state testing or mandatory course requirements. We feel that student desired learning is of utmost importance. When students are involved in the decisions to learn they feel empowered and a responsibility, as well as, a desire to educate themselves. This in turn creates a life long learner.
 We are open to the public and offer everything from free courses and clubs sponsored by local organizations to full time enrolled students through paid tuition.
We also contend to create a level of community consciousness by getting involved with other local non-profits to foster a growth in civics and community responsibility. By requiring and providing volunteer opportunities we teach our students what it means to be part of a community.
We are a private school, we adhere to the guidelines set forth by the State of Florida for Private Schools and our Board of Directors, under the direction and vision of our founder and Executive Director, Mrs. Cara Keelin. While Ovations does provide testing and portfolio reviews by Florida Board Certified Teachers, we do not require standardized testing.
Arts-Integrated curriculum is a curriculum that we have designed to thoroughly bring the arts and the core academics to life. We take real principles of Art, Music, Theatre, Design, etc. and utilize this as a means for learning and understanding core curricula i.e. Math, Science, Social Studies, and English. For example, by combining a drawing class with a Biology class students learn drawing technique together with cell description in an engaging and fun way. All of our courses have an art component integrated within our curriculum.
What is a University Model Format?
At Ovations students choose their own classes based on availability and desired course content. Courses are offered with a maximum 10:1 teaching ratio. We believe small class sizes allow instructors to work more individually with students and to form a bond and trust that isn't truly possible in a larger class size.
A University Model Format gives students the ability to effectively choose classes based on their desired course material and time of day available to take the class. This better prepares students for a college or university course in that a lot of the work for the course follows a syllabus and homework strategy laid out by the instructor. Students work with parents and teachers to learn the desired material needed to reach their next level of learning on an individual basis and report back to the teacher of record.
Each course is designed to be an integrated thematic curriculum meeting the individual classroom and student needs and standards rather than comparative national standards. Every course has a project component that encompasses all of the out-of-classroom work to be done and varies in each course. It can range from a series of recorded science experiments done in a laboratory drawing notebook to writing a complete novel from beginning to end with the purpose of publication.
Experiential learning is where we take our students out of the traditional classroom and introduce them to educational driven experiences that develop a real love for learning and create a knowledge you only get by experience. Through travel to different local establishments, ie. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, Museums, Nature Trails, Field Trips, Theatrical Productions, Orchestra concerts, and more, we can immerse the student in the experience as well as the curricula surrounding the experience.

Hyderabad: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council in its last meeting cleared a transition plan to implement lower GST rate of 1 per cent in the case of affordable houses and 5 per cent on under-construction units. Experts say the move will bring in transparency to developers in opting for the preferred tax structure from April 1 onwards between the old and new rates. It will also bring in savings for home buyers.
The Council revised the rate for under construction units (without input tax credit (ITC)) from 8 per cent to 1 per cent for affordable housing projects costing up to Rs 45 lakh. For other under-construction properties, the rate has been reduced from 12 per cent to 5 per cent without ITC.
Home buyers in different cities will experience different rate impact based on the land cost. In Mumbai, land will mostly constitute about 60 per cent of the overall property cost, land cost accounts for 40 per cent in Hyderabad while in Kochi it will be around 30 per cent. Benchmarking the rate impact on buyers may not be possible for this reason, Shah explains.
For developers, the new move will be beneficial. However, developers choosing to go with the second option of new GST rates may not be able to hike property prices in the immediate future, Puri viewed.

CHARLESTON, S.C. WCSC-TV is a CBS affiliate and produces 38 hours of local news a week. We are the market leader in all head-to-head newscasts. The station has enjoyed this position of dominance for some time now, which is a testament to our staff and our strong product. From a technical standpoint, however, we had been working for sometime with an assortment of systems that didn't really synchronize well.
Our parent company, Raycom Media, shares our understanding of the importance of cutting-edge technology. Earlier this year, we rebuilt our entire news infrastructure. Everything was upgraded, from editing to high-definition production.
We were confident in our selection of Bitcentral's Precis News production, as well as the Oasis news archive and sharing systems, because of the real-time content sharing functionality. Bitcentral is well-known and experienced in massive station overhauls, providing thorough and intensive training programs for the entire staff, as well sending out ultra-detailed on-site technicians to make sure every angle and aspect is covered in installation.
Our implementation of the Bitcentral equipment was flawless and efficient. The great work and support provided by the Bitcentral team enabled the WCSC-TV engineering staff to focus on other key items and build a digital control room that rivals any others.
We launched four major platforms from Bitcentral simultaneously. These included the Precis end-to-end and turnkey news production system; the Oasis online archiving and file share system; eight new Edius edit bays and six remote edit stations; a raw video repository platform; dual play-out control/servers; and new integration with ENPS.
We launched on time, and our first show went off without a hitch—thanks to the dedication of the WCSC-TV team combined with Bitcentral's training program.
The technical efficiency in the newsroom has skyrocketed since our initial launch. Everything is browser-based and file-based. Online storage of all content keeps everything at the touch of a button, and comes with a lower operational cost than maintaining a tape archive system. With the Oasis system, we have archiving capability and ENPS integration, allowing us to share stories easily and instantly between the Raycom stations with just the click of a mouse.
Launching four new major platforms and possessing the ability to seamlessly integrate everything at once was integral to our local broadcasting production. The decision to bring Bitcentral's innovative solutions into our new, advanced high-definition control room made WCSC a leader among television stations. We haven't just stepped into the digital revolution; we've dramatically increased our leading edge in the market for years to come.
Michael Gurthie joined WCSC-TV as chief engineer in 2006. He brought a wealth of knowledge in broadcast plant design and is an active member of Raycom Media's MCR design committee. He may be contacted at mgurthie@wcsc.com.
For additional information, contact Bitcentral Inc. at 949-253-9000 or visit www.bitcentral.com.
THe Precis 4.0 system streamlines the entire newsgathering process by managing ingest, encoding, editing and playout.
During the elections we covered Democratic and Republican headquarters simultaneously without having to set up a remote truck.

A deal is near to sell Cheli’s Chili Bar in Dearborn. The restaurant is owned by former Detroit Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios.
Cheli’s Chili Bar in Dearborn, owned by former Detroit Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios, is expected to be sold as early as this week, according to people familiar with the restaurant.
If the sale goes through, the restaurant/bar would close and reopen under a new name and theme. Cheli’s employees are being told their last day of work could be as soon as Wednesday, Feb. 20.
The sale of Cheli’s is not unexpected. Chris Chelios has been trying to sell the location since retiring from the Detroit Red Wings. It is not clear what Chelios will do with his Detroit restaurant, located across from Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers.
Cheli’s Chili Bar was once one of the more popular places in Dearborn but over the years it has become just another bar in Dearborn.
If the building sale does go through, we are hopeful the restaurant will be renovated and reopened with something that will spark more interest in downtown west Dearborn.

It should have all worked out so wonderfully. Not since Posh and Becks turned up on the red carpet in matching brown leather did two stars seem so attuned in every way -- the same gleaming white teeth, honeyed sports-field skins, bleached locks and mid-life vigour.
Greg Norman and Chris Evert resembled nothing so much as a pair of prize-winning pedigree hounds, brimming with confidence, jewels and trophies as befits their combined half-century of sporting success, and revelling in their belated pleasure in each other.
But alas, this sparkling union has followed the path of many a high-profile marriage and come crashing down, only 15 months after they made their vows amid the palms and pools of a $2 million Bahamas ceremony.
As my mother always says, the bigger the wedding, the quicker the divorce.
That was a paltry sum compared with what they had to shell out to the partners they left behind. While Evert got away with paying a cool $8 million to her husband of 18 years, Andy Mill, Norman got himself in an untidy tangle with his wife of almost three decades, Laura Andrassy, to the tune of $128 million.
While Andrassy ranted about having her credit cards snipped and the locks to her house changed, Mill vented his fury over the betrayal by his friend Norman, the man he'd have laid down his life for.
But the message from the Evert-Norman camp, both in body language and a series of smug interviews, was that theirs was a once-in-a-lifetime passion that could not be resisted, their indignant exes sad but awkward obstacles to their future life together.
Evert described the joys of an extended family, Norman credited his new wife for his return to golfing form and claimed that Evert alone understood him, the implication being his former wife never had.
He described the romance of taking Evert her coffee in the morning -- oh, the joy of simple pleasures on their palatial Florida lilypad. This, then, was a mature marriage, mistakes consigned to the past, the future theirs for the taking; Norman improving his backhand under his wife's expert eye, Evert happily caddying her way around the world's best golf courses. Happy years and years ahead of matching baseball caps.
But, as we've seen time and time again, the odds of such a star-filled union lasting are always unfavourable. The drive, ambition, self-absorption and huge ego behind sporting success such as theirs are not ingredients for a harmonious union.
It must be hard enough with just one such character sitting at the kitchen table. Imagine life with two! Yes, Evert may well understand how her husband's mind works, in fact all too well, but it doesn't mean she can live with it, or vice-versa.
So, another fairytale cracks in two. The only person happier than Greg Norman's accountant this week is surely his ex-wife, Laura Andrassy, but so far she's contented herself with beautiful understatement.
Of the star-struck marriage that fell to earth, she says only that we didn't have high hopes for it. What's that noise in the background? Oh yes, a champagne cork popping.
Their future was meant to be happy years ahead of matching baseball caps, but it wasn't meant to be.

The Sisters of the Presentation: The End of an Era?
The school goes quiet every time they renew their vows. Their compassion for others and lifelong commitment to bettering people’s lives is inconceivable for most. Their extraordinary work has spanned 160 years. The Sisters of the Presentation is an organization that is dedicated to living out the Gospel by unflinchingly tackling difficult problems which affect our community.
And while it is unimaginable for the Sisters’ physical presence to be a thing of the past for the next generation of students, the organization’s future is something that all Pres girls should be worrying about.
“American Catholics have no idea how very soon there will be no nuns,” says Sister Patricia Wittberg, as quoted in the Los Angeles Times. The Times’ study of over a thousand nuns in the United States and Puerto Rico shows a troubling trend: the number of nuns who were 40 or younger made up a meager 3% of those surveyed, while the median age was 65. The Presentation Sisters are no exception to this trend – with such a high median age, and a lack of young nuns, how does this organization combat the issue of aging nuns?
The Sisters have done everything from promoting immigration reform to establishing recovery programs for prostituted women, and have consistently been, as Sister Stephanie says, “On the forefront of justice issues today such as trafficking of men, women, and children.” And while this may just be a transition period for the Sisters of the Presentation, there is still the question of who will be left to carry out the work that the Sisters do on a daily basis in our community.
It’s undoubtedly hard to find people who have the attitude that Sister Stephanie and the other nuns have towards their work. “We show up!” Sister Stephanie says candidly. “We have been showing up and making a difference in people’s lives, and modeling compassion, mercy, and spending ourselves for the poor for 160 years. It is a stance we take towards life as women of the Church and daughters of Nano.” Our school may be the institution which follows in the Sisters’ footsteps, and continues the Sisters’ legacy of positively impacting the community.
According to Sister Stephanie, the relationship between Presentation High School and the Sisters is a rich one that started with the founding of our school by the Sisters and continues through the “deep appreciation and partnership with the administration, staff, students, and alumnae who live our charism.” With such a strong connection, it’s clear that it’s not just the Sisters who will be affected by the lack of American nuns – all of us will be affected as well.
While American nuns go through this difficult transition period, Presentation High School will continue to thrive as a school dedicated to service and education. It’s up to us to continue the work of an organization which has served the community for hundreds of years with dedication and compassion. And while over the course of the next few decades the Sisters may be an organization of the past, their legacy lives on through us.
