A 9,383-square-foot Asian-inspired residence, set on two acres of white-sand beach in Siesta Key’s exclusive Sanderling Club, just sold for $9 million—making it the highest priced residential sale in Sarasota County to date in 2017.
The Gulf-front residence, rebuilt in 2003, is actually two homes connected by a courtyard, pool and Japanese garden—a 3,809-square-foot, one-bedroom home, set right on the sand that is separated from a two-story, 2,502-quare-foot, four-bedroom guesthouse. An additional 3,000-plus square feet of porches and overhang make up the rest of the property.
The home originally was listed for $10.9 million in 2012. “[The owners] had had offers but they were not ready to sell,” says Mel Goldsmith of Michael Saunders & Company, who, with his wife, Jan Goldsmith, listed and sold the home.
Goldsmith says a confidentiality agreement precludes him from talking about the buyers.
The home won an international 2014 Doory Award from HGTV.

Planning optimizes efficacy and results in any area of life, and this is why it should be an integral component of your transformation process. Unfortunately, many people don’t know what type of planning strategies to implement for the purpose of moving beyond the sphere of mediocrity. Luckily, there are numerous resources, tools, and strategies you can utilize for this purpose. One tool that millions and millions of people have found immensely effective is Trello. Trello is a web application that individuals can utilize to create lists and deadlines for important personal or professional projects. These types of features can keep people on track to accomplishing key tasks that contribute to the project completion process rather than waddling around in the realm of procrastination that keeps the world of mediocrity active and alive.
Another strategy that you can utilize to remain on track to operating in excellence is exercising consistently. This strategy is immensely powerful because exercise promotes clear thinking, higher energy levels, better mood, and enhanced immunity. Also note that exercise promotes sounder sleep, with this benefit optimizing the body’s ability to rejuvenate itself so that all bodily organs and systems are functioning optimally. Unfortunately, 80% of Americans fail to attain the amount of exercise required to generate these life-enhancing results. If you don’t exercise, you can expect your body and mind to operate in a mediocre fashion that precludes you from really shining in your personal or professional life. Once you recognize this reality, you may be ready to put an exercise program together. There are several strategies you can utilize to make this happen. One is hiring a great yoga instructor who can provide you with ongoing encouragement, information, and assistance with the process of mastering specific asanas such as Warrior III and Crescent Lunge. Note that completing these asanas with precision is an immensely effective way to generate more mind/body awareness while also cultivating more inner confidence and competence.
3. Optimize Your Personal Relationships.
One final strategy that you can implement to put mediocrity in the past is optimizing your personal relationships. This step is immensely important because an individual’s external environment plays a central role in determining things like the substance and scope of one’s thought life, decision-making processes, and ability to connect with others in an authentic, meaningful way that metabolizes personal growth. Note that if your closest relationships are inauthentic or shallow, this can complicate and compromise your ability to develop traits and skills that will help you operate in excellence. Thus if you’re serious about becoming an excellent person, think about the individuals that you’re spending the most time with and determine whether these relationships are mutually beneficial or if they just leave you feeling drained, demotivated, depressed, and debilitated.
In addition to optimizing your personal relationships, make sure that you’re optimizing your professional relationships by continually providing your co-workers or employees with strategies, tools, and resources that can help them operate more effectively. If you’re the manager of a company, note that offering your employees the opportunity to take ongoing trainings can empower them to learn and grow in numerous ways which enable them to become more confident and competent while on the job. Companies such as Facility Results are pleased to provide clients with NFPA training programs which educate employees about things like arc flash safety and reducing exposure to hazards.
Once you realize that your life is a mediocre mess, it’s time to make substantive changes. Utilize some or all of the techniques outlined above to get out of the realm of average and into the sphere of excellence soon!

Tubular reactors are commonly used in the chemical industry, where they help with continuous large-scale production. To accurately analyze these devices, we can simulate the tubular reactor’s dissociation process. In this blog post, we compare isothermal and nonisothermal simulation studies. Such studies showcase multiple helpful features from the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module that you can use in your own simulations.
If you were to look inside a tubular reactor, you would see reactants flowing and continuously reacting at high velocities. As these reactants move through the pipe, they are turned into products. Since the production process is continuous, these devices are often an efficient way to produce large quantities of products in the chemical and petroleum industries.
Additionally, tubular reactors are utilized in other areas, such as off-gas treatment in the combustion processes of power plants and engines. This type of reactor can even be used as a purification method for drugs, potentially leading to more affordable pharmaceuticals.
A model of a tubular reactor.
To design tubular reactors that efficiently generate the highest amount of product possible, we can turn to multiphysics simulation. In this example, we will use the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software to build an accurate reactor model to examine the gas-phase dissociation process. In the next section, we’ll share an example created with the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module. Many of the key techniques that we use to solve this model can be applied to other chemical reaction engineering simulations.
Our analysis of a tubular reactor starts with a rotationally symmetric model. The model uses a mapped or structured mesh because of the reactor’s regular shape. To set up boundary conditions in our model, we use the Laminar Flow and Transport of Concentrated Species interfaces.
The model enables us to focus on the gas-phase dissociation process. This is when species A reacts and forms the product, B. Here, every mole of A reacts and generates two moles of B, which causes a volumetric expansion of the gas mixture. Due to this change in density, the gas velocity increases as the mixture moves through the reactor, a scenario that we can model with the compressible formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations.
A simplified image showing the dissociation process in a tubular reactor.
During the dissociation reaction, the composition of the mixture shifts. Although it starts off as pure A at the inlet, at the outlet, there is a mixture of A and B, making it a multicomponent system. When dealing with a concentrated multicomponent mixture like this, you need to take all of the possible interactions into account. In this case, we describe the interactions between all of these components with the Transport of Concentrated Species interface and the Maxwell-Stefan or mixture-averaged diffusion equations.
Further, according to the ideal gas law, density variation depends on pressure, temperature, and composition. The “ideal gas” option for density in the Transport of Concentrated Species interface will automatically account for all of these factors. The Laminar Flow interface describes the momentum balances and continuity of fluids with changes in density.
In our model, the production rate of the product, B, is dependent on composition and temperature. However, if you assume that the gas is isothermal, the rate will only vary with composition. We’ll see how this affects our results by comparing an isothermal study with a nonisothermal study, where both composition and temperature are considered.
The isothermal study of a tubular reactor solves a coupled model of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the Maxwell-Stefan convection and conduction equations. The model is expanded upon in the nonisothermal case, which adds a Heat Transfer in Fluids interface and an energy balance equation to model the temperature.
While the temperature remains constant at 473 K for the isothermal case, it changes in the nonisothermal case. In the latter, gas enters the reactor at a temperature of 293 K (room temperature) and warms up during the reaction because the reactor’s walls are heated to 473 K. In the nonisothermal study, the heat of reaction is included. As such, a main difference between these two models lies with how they handle temperature.
This difference in temperature affects other aspects of the studies. For instance, let’s take a closer look at the velocity magnitude. When comparing these studies, we can see that the velocity increases along the z-axis due to the expanding volume of the gas mixture during the reaction. In the nonisothermal case, however, the velocity magnitude is slightly smaller. This is because the nonisothermal case has a lower temperature and thus a lower reaction rate.
Comparing velocity magnitude for the isothermal case (left) and nonisothermal case (right). You can see that the maximum velocity is a little greater in the isothermal case.
We also compared the mass fraction of species B for the two studies. For the isothermal model, we found out that there is a higher mass fraction of species B near the tube surface than in the central area. This is due to the lower convective flow velocity near the side surface. For the nonisothermal model, the mass fraction is also higher at the area close to the side surface, but overall, the mass fraction is lower than the isothermal case, as we can see when comparing the two figures below. This difference is clear when observing the average mass fraction of species B at the outlet, which is 64.1% for the isothermal case and 26.4% for the nonisothermal case.
Comparing the mass fraction of species B for the isothermal case (left) and nonisothermal case (right).
There is an average conversion rate of 64.4% at the outlet for the isothermal study and 24.2% for the nonisothermal study. This further shows the effect that temperature has on performance in tubular reactors. From these studies, we can see that the temperature profile has a significant impact on the reactor’s reaction and conversion rates.
This model can be used to analyze the reaction rates of tubular reactors that are still in the design stage, as well as existing reactors. You can also apply many of the modeling techniques mentioned in this blog post, from accounting for multicomponent diffusion to discretizing a long and thin geometry with a mapped mesh, in your own simulations.

Involved in an automobile accident? What do you do?
Stop immediately, but don’t obstruct traffic.
Assure the police are called.
Take down the names and contact information of any witnesses.
Take down the make, model, and license plate numbers of any involved vehicles.
If you have a camera, take photographs of the scene and the vehicles. Even a cell phone camera is better than nothing.
Make a rough drawing of the scene, showing the position of the cars and other significant details.
Remain calm, courteous, and consistent about your version of the accident.
Notify your insurance company or agent.
If contacted by another insurance company, don’t give them any statement and tell them you are hiring an attorney and will have your attorney talk to them on your behalf. And do not hastily accept any settlement offers until you have the advice of an attorney.

Perfect Place for a Special Dinner – Scowl, Nu?
Quince is the perfect place for a special occasion dinner. It feels very homey, but elegant at the same time, with low lighting and simple cream-colored decor. I had what was probably the best glass of champagne of my life to start, and the meal only got better from there. The food is excellent – all three courses were delicious, but I’ll never forget the petrale sole with mandarin sauce and white carrots (so fresh…and so rich!) Dessert (which I almost skipped and am very glad I didn’t) was also amazingly good. Service is very professional and attentive, right from the moment you step through the door.
As a special touch (and a very nice surprise), they had printed a special menu for me that read “Happy Birthday Janet” at the top (they had asked if it was a special occasion at the time the reservation was made). At the end of the evening, they presented it to me rolled up and tied with a red ribbon. These little details really make dinner extra special.
Just as a tip as far as making reservations, we called a week ahead for a Saturday reservation and got one at 10 PM, but they offered to put us on a waiting list for an earlier one. We honestly didn’t think there was any chance of that happening, so we were pleasantly surprised to get a call on the afternoon of our reservation with an offer of an earlier one at 7:30. The meal is rather pricey, especially if you indulge yourself with all four courses and a bottle of wine, but it’s definitely worth it, even if it’s not a special occasion!

In celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, on Saturday, May 19, from 10 am-Noon, the Erie Center for Design and Preservation (ECDP) will conduct a walking tour of one of Erie’s great National Historic Districts.
Established in 1990, the West 21st Street National Historic District (which lies between Peach and Myrtle Streets) features more than 30 buildings of a wide range of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century architectural styles, including Romanesque, Italianate, and Colonial Revival.
Participants in the tour will have an opportunity to tour the interiors of several homes along the way. This area of Erie, part of the South Erie district known as Federal Hill in the early nineteenth century, once housed some of the city’s most prominent businessmen, including Heman Janes, co-founder of Standard Oil.
In this event, the ECDP will not only showcase one of Erie’s grandest historic districts, but also hopes to reinforce the importance of retaining the character and integrity of all urban neighborhoods in the city. A number of buildings in the West 21st Street neighborhood have either been demolished or are threatened, and those properties will be pointed out on the tour as well.
Participants in the tour will gather at 10 AM in the St. John’s Lutheran Church, 2216 Peach Street, where Rick Liebel, an ECDP Board member and resident of the district, will offer a brief talk on the history of the district before the tour begins. Because the tour will include home interiors, the number of participants will be limited to 15. No interior photography will be allowed, but participants are encouraged to bring cameras and to take exterior shots of the district.
Those who are interested in this free walking celebration of Erie’s historic urban landscape need to RSVP by calling 824-2075, emailing cmagoc@mercyhurst.edu, or indicating their interest on the ECDP Facebook page.
Steve Bukowski, a senior Public History major at Mercyhurst University, is nearing the end of a months-long project to update the city of Erie’s survey of historic properties. Steve has now photographed and recorded data on well over 400 properties, with more to come in the last few weeks of the project.
Executed in fulfillment of Bukowski’s required internship and senior project in public history, the effort also will include an extensive narrative of Erie history as it is reflected in the city’s extant built environment—essentially what Erie’s built landscape tells an observer about the city’s history.
Look for the completed inventory and the historical narrative sometime by the middle of May—in time to help the Erie Center for Design and Preservation celebrate National Historic Preservation Month.

What Does It Mean To Become A Seeker?
The more I read about CURIOSITY, the more I am convinced it is the number one attribute required for long-term, future-proofed success. We live in times of great tumult – we must be agile, and what better preparation for aggressive, ongoing change than a willingness to discover?
The ever-impeccable Harald Jarche talks about Gary Klein’s new book Seeing What Others Don’t, how so much of work is focused on removal of error and uncertainty – the process of packing away, hiding, locking down.
Insight, however, comes from that willingness to test, to discover, to seek.
“Soon the child’s clear eye is clouded over by ideas and opinions, preconceptions, and abstractions.
YES. To be a seeker is to uncover, discover, REDISCOVER all that is magical in our world; to be curious for what might be; to be ready for the future.
← How Many Kids Have The Curiosity Gene?

THE excitable lot has told us it’s the Clash of the Titans. Today will change everything. The sceptical lot has told us it doesn’t matter. Today will change nothing.
So let’s forget about today and look to the future. Say, 2018. There’s a proper election scheduled for then, around late summer.
That may seem a while away, but it’s creeping nearer. And, the closer we get to it, a funny thing may be happening.
First, though, conventional wisdom. 2018 will be a two-horse race and the battleground will again be Punjab. PML-N v PTI — may the best man win.
By now, here in 2015, it’s become fairly obvious: the PML-N is about as rubbish at governing as the PPP was.
PML-N will have the advantage because, well, it’s delivered a bunch of things and Punjab is super fond of Mian Sahib, even if it hasn’t quite warmed to the younger Sharif.
PTI will have learned from 2013 and will position itself to grab a bunch of seats, but it will still fall short. Ultimately, the party won’t have the machine to move it up from second to first.
That’s the conventional wisdom and it seems fairly reasonable. But let’s try something else.
One full term and a peaceful transition in 2013 increased the odds of a second full term. So a second full term followed by a peaceful transition in 2018 should make a third consecutive full term even more likely.
2018 should take us to 2023. And that’s when things start to get a bit complicated. By 2023, if conventional wisdom prevails, Punjab would have been ruled by the PML-N for 15 straight years.
Fifteen years is dictator terrain. Hell, it’s beyond dictator — Ayub lasted a shade under 11 years, Zia a smidge more than 11, Musharraf just under nine.
If Punjab re-elects PML-N in the centre in 2018, it will also have re-re-elected the PML-N in Punjab. Not even a King’s party has managed that.
And that changes the equation a little. In ordinary times, the Punjabi voter would have a straightforward job: decide if a government’s performance over the previous five years means it deserves another five.
In PML-N times, in 2018, the voter will also have to figure out if he’s OK with electing what would effectively be a permanent government.
When the military is chucking you in and out and terms aren’t being completed, a two-term prime minister and a three-term CM isn’t such a big deal.
But a four-term, two-full-term PM and a five-term, three-consecutive-term CM elected freely and uninterrupted by the public itself — to be convinced, the voter may want something more.
Something more that the PML-N may not have.
The PPP knew they were rubbish, didn’t care that they were rubbish, and decided early on to enjoy themselves as much as they could for as long as they could.
From there was born the legend of The Worst Government the Country Has Ever Had, 2008-2013. Sindh, poor, pitiable Sindh, continues to suffer.
The PML-N was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be The Best Civilian Government Ever, 2013-2018. Efficiency, ideas, energy — turnaround was coming our way.
But the N-League has flunked every governance test thrown its way. Sure, the Metro is nice and a bunch of roads are getting built, but the positive externalities aren’t endless.
One or two Metros don’t translate into better transport everywhere. A few big roads don’t mean connectivity for the population at large. And, really, the bling effect wears off.
What was cool and fascinating five years ago leaves people cool and un-fascinated if simply more and more of the same is offered.
Now, back to the present. Everything — and it is no exaggeration to say everything — that is going well for the N-League comes down to two things: low oil prices and low commodity prices.
It’s a multi-billion-dollar bonanza that is the exact opposite of what the PPP was pummelled by early in its term — a spike in oil and commodity prices topped off by a global liquidity crunch.
The PML-N is about as rubbish at governing as the PPP was.
Ah, but at least there’s the corruption differentiator, you’re thinking. Anything is better than the PPP.
Possibly. The smash-and-grab style of the PPP and the continuing depredations in Sindh would make a bandit blush. But there’s a quiet bubbling of rumour and speculation around the PML-N too.
Away from the Nandipur turmoil and beyond rules being bypassed in haste, not greed, there’s all kinds of talk seeping out. Of front companies and hidden ownerships and dodgy interests.
And far too much of it is leading back to the same names, in government and outside, that are dominating the energy and electricity landscapes in the PML-N era.
Three more years is a long time. Long enough for oil and commodity prices to swing upwards again. Long enough for tales of pelf and corruption to slime their way into public view.
Long enough for things to go pear-shaped again. And long enough for folk in Punjab to wonder: maybe we should give someone else a chance.
The someone else? That would be the PTI.

The Wexford Opera Festival is one of Ireland’s leading cultural institutions. It now has a exceptional new home. Contained within a bold contemporary form that rises theatrically above the low skyline of Wexford Town, its entrance and streetscape are by contrast modest and discrete. The circulation spaces and bars are comfortable, sociable and designed to be flexible in accommodating a variety of associated uses. Particularly memorable are the break-out areas with panoramic views out over the town and the sea. The highlight of the building is its wonderful new auditorium, which is traditional in spirit and contemporary in its expression, delivering a quite beautiful and memorable performance space.
The Wexford Opera Festival has always been centred in Wexford town and the principal issues were scale and fit, (how to insert a huge flytower into a Medieval street scale), retain the street scene, as well considering the effect upon the historic silhouette of Wexford’s skyline when seen from across the river.
The architectural team also had to consider how best to insert a very large and highly complex spatial programme into a steeply sloping backland site barely large enough to accommodate it.
The new 7,235sqm purpose-designed opera house contains two theatres; the principal auditorium of 780 seats, and an adaptable auditorium of 175 seats providing performance in a variety of formats, together with all pubic and support facilities necessary for a fully functioning producing theatre dedicated to opera.
In architectural terms, the new opera house may be seen as a series of formal set-pieces centred around the main auditorium, fly-tower and the smaller second theatre forming a nucleus at the heart of the organisation. The nucleus was then enveloped by an architectural collar containing the supporting spaces which locks it into the irregular edges of the backland plots of urban block in which it is situated.
At the outset Wexford Festival Opera set the design team a range of difficult challenges to meet its complex and demanding brief requirements. Furthermore, the irregularly formed site, located in the centre of the old Viking town with a single access through a narrow one-way mediaeval street presented an additional complexity for the designers.
The brief required the team to provide an architectural design that would reflect the international prominence and acclaim of the highly regarded annual opera festival with its discerning audience. Complex, critical and demanding acoustic performance criteria were set for the main auditorium. In addition, it was required that the building would meet the client's requirements for non-opera performances and accommodate local events. There was a strong desire to provide attractive and intimate public circulation spaces with the use of natural daylight affording strong visual contact with the town from the building where possible.
It is a credit to the design team that they “shoe-horned” the demanding space and circulation requirements for the building on this difficult sloping town centre site. The design solution has fully met all the requirements of the brief and set a new quality benchmark for design of small opera houses on the world stage.
The architectural and critical acoustic qualities of the building have received very favorable acclaim nationally and internationally from our audiences, music critics, musicians, performers, back-stage personnel, staff and our 300 volunteers who man the building during the opera festival.
It is not an overstatement to say that the design quality of the building has far exceeded Wexford Festival Opera's ambitious expectations.

What does sustainable transport mean to you? For anyone running a fleet of trucks, vans or buses the answer to this question almost certainly will differ substantially from that of most politicians and perhaps even most of the British public. In your latest edition, now online, we try to find out what lies behind several contradictory points of view on truly sustainable road transport and what this could mean for commercial vehicle engineering now and in future.
For fleet managers and transport engineers thinking of spending a day or two at the 2019 Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre at the end of April we highlight some of the exhibitors they ought to keep in mind. These include Daf Trucks with a revitalised line-up of support services, including a novel driver training voucher scheme; MAN Truck & Bus with its latest nine-litre diesel engine; column-lift supplier TotalKare, expanding into brake-testers; plus a host of van manufacturers including Ford, Groupe PSA and its newest family member, Vauxhall, all with news aplenty.
People in the news this month include Scania (Great Britain) boss Martin Hay, opening the company’s shiny new Dundee depot; transport minister Jesse Norman, consulting on an old tyre ban long before a costly, government-commissioned research project has reached any conclusions; and Sebastian Volbert, quitting his job at the Volkswagen group to head a newly-created financial services division at trailer-maker Koegel.

More to hydrogen-fuelled vehicles than just hot air? The British Compressed Gases Association is all for them. Jaama managing director Martin Evans warns employers not to cut corners on road risks.
UK government inaction on unroadworthy vans is scandalous. There is, sadly, nothing new about a stark contrast between the excellent roadworthiness record of the trucks and buses on UK roads and the appallingly bad one of light commercial vehicles (mainly vans) with gross weights up to 3.5 tonnes. As long ago as March 2011 Commercial Vehicle Engineer was calling on what then was VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency), before it morphed into the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), to take specific corrective action to address the huge problem that its own truly alarming statistics had exposed: around half of all the millions of 3.5-tonnes-gvw vans on British roads are unroadworthy. More bluntly, these vehicles are so unsafe that lives are being put at risk by the continuing failure of the government generally and DVSA in particular to take action against them and their operators. The Freight Transport Association (FTA) deserves credit for again highlighting the true scale of this scandal this month. From an inadequate starting point, enforcement of van safety standards has been cut in half in the past five years, the association reveals. Odd that there is no mention of this from DVSA boss Gareth Llewellyn in the agency's 2018/19 business plan. This omission gives a distinctly hollow ring to Llewellyn's accurate observation in the same document that "DVSA plays a critical role in helping people across Great Britain stay safe on the roads." In 2014 DVSA staff carried out 20,520 roadside checks on the mechanical condition of vans. That is about 2,000 fewer checks than were made in 2010. Astonishingly, in 2017 the figure plunged to 9,512, despite compelling evidence that vans at 3.5 tonnes gvw (all vehicles above this weight are subject to far tougher rules on mechanical condition, driver licences and vehicle operation) are the least safe by far on British roads as well as being the most popular. DVSA likes to brag about its ability to target "non-compliant" operators of trucks, buses and coaches. The agency's principal target now has to be light commercial vehicles.

If you have ever traveled on a major highway between cities you have most likely encountered the large amounts of 18-wheelers out there. They are large, in charge, and working fast to ship goods all over the country. Because these trucks are so massive and working on quick schedules, it is often that fellow commuters’ safety can be compromised in the moment while a trucker makes a decision behind the wheel. Unfortunately, this results in a large portion of the highway trucking accidents and fatalities that are recorded each year.
1. Don’t Turn Into A Blind Eye. When you’re traveling behind any semi truck that is currently complying with OSHA trucking regulations, you will more than likely be able to see at least one visible reminder of the blind spots a trucker has. It is important to not just glance at but actually take into consideration these signs and their messages. Lane changing into a truck’s blind spot can spell serious trouble in a matter of seconds should that large truck choose to change lanes as well. It is always easy to remember this: If you can’t see the truck’s mirrors then they cannot see you. This easy step will help keep you a safe distance away from the ‘danger zone’ that travels 80mph alongside these large trucks.
2. Remember The Draft. With trucks and 18-wheelers being so large, they are obviously fighting way more wind and aerodynamics when they barrel down the highway. As a result, these large trucks produce a rather strong draft that can be very deceiving to a passing vehicle. If you’re behind a truck, hopefully a safe distance, you won’t see any trouble in traveling because the the sheer size of the truck is breaking up all wind barrier in front of you and essentially creating a draft tunnel for you to easily drive in. However, since the truck is so large and tends to move slow when breaking strong winds, you might feel the urge to pass the truck. As a smaller car or SUV goes to pass a truck on the highway, they can sometimes experience sporadic bursts of win that could cause them to lose control of the vehicle and spin them either towards the truck or away and off the road. This is caused by the force of a draft line funneling the broken air into essentially a wake that spurs off the front end of a semi and tapers off down the side of the trailer. When a car enters it you feel the gust of wind make a push against your driving. Be sure to brace and prepare for a lane change and pass-up when you’re aware of high winds and an 18-wheeler present.
3. Recognize The Differences. Truckers are on the road to follow a strict schedule and deliver or ship a good. They are usually limited to the number of hours they get to sleep or even just be off the road and out of their truck. This can usually cause serious cases of spacing out and tiredness behind the wheel. Some truckers go entire states without stopping, and others lose time from being held up at weigh stations that they have to make up with agility and focus. In turn, they can pose a serious hazard to other drivers on the road if the truckers themselves are in good shape to drive. Always be aware of the time of day or night you are commuting and be aware of trucker behavior around you. If you see a trucker hauling very fast or switching lanes quickly, it is best to stay out of their way to avoid accident. Also beware of trucks that seem to be drifting a bit out of their lane as they might be driven by a tired and not fully alert driver. If you see any of these signs, keep your distance and notify a highway patrol officer if things continue to seem out of line.
Following what seems like these simple and basic steps can be a huge deciding factor between a high speed highway accident or not. Trucking injuries and accident fatalities seem to climb year after year as a result of incidents involving smaller commuter cars and large 18-wheeler trucks. It is important to remain safe, calm, and smart. In the event of an accident, should you have followed these steps you could be entitled to serious compensation for the distress you see as a result of a hazardous driving situation.

De-cluttering your desk may not be top of your list of fun things to do, but you would be surprised at what a difference it could make to your productivity. Having a messy, cluttered desk can physically hinder your working progress (by stopping you from finding that crucial document), and it can also have a negative impact on your state of mind too; by organising your workspace, you will feel a lot clearer and more focused.
The first step to a de-cluttered desk is to go through all those piles of paper that you have accumulated over the months. It is inevitable that there will be documents you no longer have a need for, but it is important that you dispose of them in a responsible manner. Any papers with confidential information should be shredded rather than binned to prevent any possibility of identity theft or fraud.
Once you have disposed of documents you do not need, you can think about organising the ones you do. For items that are needed but not regularly accessed, you could see if your company uses an offsite document storage company and put these files into archives. For essential pieces of paper, create a filing system on your desk to ensure easy access.
Some businesses enforce a clean desk policy, but for others that don’t it can still be worth enforcing the rule on yourself. A clean desk policy means that your desk tidied at the end of every working day. This may sound impossible, but five minutes will be all you need to get your workspace in order. Then every morning you will come into to a perfectly organised desk, leaving you in a great frame of mind for productivity.
Under nearly every desk is a multitude of cables, from computers, to phones and other pieces of hardware. But not only does this look unsightly, it is a potential fire hazard as well. There are many ways you can organise your cables, but the easiest is to pop to IKEA and take a look at their range of cable management accessories. Options include cable trunkers and cable reel, which will both help solve your cable problem. And if there is no way to hide your cables, try displaying them in a creative way instead!
This may not be an option for everyone, particularly if you are in an open plan office, but if you do have the chance it could be worth investing in some more shelves for your desk. Shelves are a great way to organise your workspace, and you do not have to just hang them on the wall either. Choose a shelving unit which can fit on top of your desk, and add some file storage boxes and folders to keep everything neat. You can even add photos of your friends and family to give it a personal touch!
Shelves are not the only way you can save space: cups for your pencils, letter trays and other accessories can all play a key part in de-cluttering your space. But once you have installed these at your desk make sure you get in the habit of using them- there is no point sitting next to an empty pencil holder or a letter tray with nothing in it!
When it comes to kitchen design and decoration, a lot of people figure less is more, and that a naked kitchen counter top looks minimalist, frees up space for food prep and is easy to clean. However, with so many really beautiful kitchen gadgets and tools on the market, most of which are really designed to be shown off, you could be shutting away some of the best design features you own! Here’s how displaying some of your cookware, tools and gadgets can make a really big impact on how your kitchen looks, without costing you a penny!
If you are using blackened old pans that have been in the family for years, then in that cupboard under your counter is the best place for them. However, if you, like many people, have spent a lot of money on high end stainless steel or cast iron frying pans, saucepans and casserole dishes, chances are part of what you are paying for is how well designed they are. If you have a beautiful matching set of pans, particularly colored ones (for example those bright, statement colored sets Le Creuset make), then why not pull them out of the cupboard and have them on display? You can hang them over a large range, giving your kitchen that luxury restaurant look, or invest in (or build) a simple rack for them where they can be kept both visible, and easily to hand for cooking.
Knives are another area where designers of kitchen tools and products have really started to consider aesthetic effect. You can now get beautiful matching knife sets in all kinds of colors, which can look really nice displayed on your work surface in a simple knife block, or mounted on a magnetic knife holder. Some knives now even have colored blades, which means they look even better displayed in full on a magnetic mount.
In addition to knives, serving spoons, spatulas, tongs and other interesting looking kitchen implements can look really nice displayed in a pot or wire rack rather than packed away in a drawer, and it also makes it easier to find the things you need.
Most people own a few kitchen gadgets that don’t get used all the time, like blenders, smoothie makers, waffle irons and other interesting things. Whether these are impulse bought things you seldom think about or things you pull out and use fairly regularly, chances are they spend most of their lives in a cupboard somewhere in your kitchen. However, a lot of these labor saving kitchen gadgets actually have really cool design to them, and having them on your counter alongside more commonly used things like your kettle and toaster can create a nice, high tech look, as well as encouraging you to get more use out of them.
You don’t need a full professional kitchen remodeling job to give your kitchen an upgraded, refreshed look. In many cases it can be as simple as rearranging things and getting better visual effects from things you already own!

Business owners should know the value of confidential information. Not only does leaked data harm company reputation, but it can also damage finances if customers decide to take their money to a more secure firm. Here are 5 ways you could be risking your data security on a daily basis.
Gone are the days when you could tear a piece of confidential paper in two and chuck it in the waste bin, happy that it will never be looked at again. Now, the Data Protection Act 1998 states that a business must take appropriate measures against the unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data, and this means destroying certain documentation. Anything that holds personal information like addresses and contact details need to be destroyed securely, as do other documents like bank details or employee application forms. Failure to do this could put your company at risk of a hefty fine as well as prosecution.
We all know that it is important to back up your documents, but how many of us actually do on a regular basis? It has been said that no piece of information is safe until it is stored in three places, with a master copy, a back-up copy and a second back-up copy all necessary to prevent loss of data. Paper documents in particular should always be scanned into a computer, and copied to an external hard drive or a secure server. By taking these steps to protect your files, you will ensure that the loss of any important information is not irreversible.
Anti-virus software is a necessary part of keeping your information secure, because it prevents your computer from being hacked. This is particularly important if you have a large number of employees who will be visiting a variety of websites on a regular basis and downloading files.
All businesses, large and small, can collect unmanageable amounts of documentation and files over the years. Whilst some of these will be redundant and never used again, many need to be kept just in case they are required at some point in the future. However, keeping on top of these records is a mammoth task, and often takes up valuable time that would be better spent elsewhere. And if old files are not looked after properly, it can be easy for security to be breached. Many companies use offsite document storage to solve this problem. Document storage companies will archive your old files for you in secured premises, and can return them to you within hours of a request.
Passwords are a crucial part of keeping your data secure, particularly when using a computer. They are an easy way of making sure than only authorised personnel have access to certain confidential documents. By not putting a password on your data, you run the risk of someone getting hold of crucial company information and leaking it to competitors. And whatever you do, make sure you use a different password when necessary, that is not easy to guess. Random password generators are a good way of providing difficult codes that will not be cracked by your average person. Finally, store your list of passwords somewhere safe, not on a piece of paper on your desk!

However, trying to stay calm and focused during an intense routine may prove difficult even in the nicest of surroundings. Here are our top 5 tips for staying relaxed during a workout.
You hear it time and time again, but stretching before and after exercise is really one of the best things you can do to get the most out of your programme. Not only can stretching increase your flexibility, but it can also help reduce muscle tension and make your whole body feel more relaxed. Before you get stretching, try and carry out 10 minutes of light activity like a brisk walk in order to warm your body up. There is a multitude of stretching exercises on the internet which you can follow, but the basics remain the same. Never bounce whilst stretching, and hold each stretch for around 30 seconds. If it starts to hurt then you may have stretched too far!
Many people find listening to music a great way to remain relaxed during a workout. Some gyms will allow you to plug your headphones into the equipment to listen to the radio, perfect for those who like variety to their fitness regime. For more control over the music, you could make a playlist of your own songs that you know will keep you relaxed. Perhaps vary the genre of music depending on what type of activity you are doing. On the running machine you could listen to something upbeat and motivating, whilst spending time on the yoga mats might suit a more tranquil vibe. It doesn’t matter what you listen to, as long as it has the desired effect on your mind and your body.
It is said by many personal trainers that people tend to hold their breath when they exercise, particularly beginners. And if you aren’t holding your breath there are a number of other easy traps to fall into, like breathing too slowly or too quickly or inhaling and exhaling at the wrong times. If you do not learn to breathe correctly whilst working out, you are putting unnecessary strain on your body which will make you feel uncomfortable and not exercise to the best of your ability. To feel more relaxed whilst at the gym, speak to an expert to find out the correct way to breathe. Not only will your fitness improve but you will also be calmer as a result.
Another key way to help your body stay relaxed at the gym is to keep your fluid intake up. Did you know that you can lose up to a litre of fluid every hour when exercising? Not only will dehydration affect your workout and make you feel tense, but it can also cause serious damage to your health- so make sure you keep drinking. With all the sports drinks on the market you may be forgiven for thinking you need to fork out on an expensive beverage, but most people doing moderate exercise will be fine with just water. All gyms will have water available for you to fill up your bottles with, and some may even have cool water dispensers. And be careful, too much fluid and you can put yourself at risk of a rare condition called hypnoatremia.
One of the main reasons people like going to the gym to exercise is because of all the extra facilities that can be on offer such as swimming pools, showers, saunas, washroom supplies and other little luxuries. If you are lucky enough to have these at your gym, make sure you take full advantage of them. Motivating yourself to do a workout will seem a lot more appealing if you know you can relax afterward, so set aside a little extra time to wind down after your session.

Many people have never looked at Usenet as a learning resource. As forums, social media, and chat rooms continue to be popular, Usenetis sometimes overlooked by users. The framework of Usenet is ideal for learning. There are several characteristics in particular which are beneficial.
One of the biggest reasons Usenet is organized to be the ideal learning resource is the hierarchy. Usenet is organized based upon a very simple, yet effective hierarchy which allows users to identify and participate in a variety of topics. Finding extremely specific topics isn’t difficult because the hierarchy makes it clear where each topic can be found. This is notably different than other popular frameworks because even tiny subtopics can be quickly discovered by users to understand the hierarchy.
Another way Usenet was organized to be an ideal learning resource is how the discussions were organized. Each discussion or article was designed to propagate among hundreds or thousands of servers. By utilizing a decentralized network, Usenet was able to store articles for years. This means a user could easily read a single discussion which lasted several years in chronological order. Not only would they see the structure and purpose of the discussion, but also how the thoughts surrounding the discussion evolved.
There is no arguing the Internet inherently has a global perspective, Usenet is unique. A majority of websites get a majority of their traffic from one or two countries. Usenet proved to be much more diverse. This allowed for a global marketplace of ideas to be shared, debated, and discovered.
Unlike many websites, numerous studies have shown Usenet discussions place a high value on facts. From an educational perspective, this makes Usenet a highly valuable resource. The best part is the high value placed on facts was not forcefully instilled, but rather a general acceptance of the involved participants. Facts lead to clearer, more streamlined discussions.
The final way Usenet is organized to be an excellent learning resource is because the experts and group moderators went to great lengths to minimize topic repetition within a discussion. By ensuring the discussion was always moving forward and the evolving, every article in a Usenet topic provides a new perspective and greater educational value.
Usenet has its flaws and weaknesses. At the same time there are a number of characteristics that other online discussion platforms should take advantage of. It utilized a specific and valuable hierarchy to keep everything organized. Usenet provided years of discussion in an easy to consume format. Not only did it offer a global perspective on topics, but also placed a high value on facts over opinion. Finally, it was designed to minimize topic repetition within a discussion to ensure new thoughts roadies being shared and the value of new conclusions was being debated.

You eat a nutritious and nourishing breakfast at home and maybe even dinner as well though when you are away from home and hunger strikes what do you reach for?
Our bodies natural response when we are hungry and not fed is to reach for easily converted energy foods. Enter….sugar!!
Whether it be for your mid-morning, afternoon or weekend snack try these delicious muesli bars AKA bird bars. Packed full of slow-releasing energy and quality fats in the form of oats, nuts & eggs, they are also free of refined sugar!
These muesli bars are simple to make and great for (big) kids as well! I often make these quickly on a weekend whilst prepping lunch or dinner and by the time I’m done with that, these guys are ready – it really is that simple. Slice into bars and you’re set for the week, organised and confident to avoid the vending machine, cafe snacks or emergency block of chocolate!
Let me know in the comments below if this is a snack that you’ll be trying out this week?
The bars can also be stored in the fridge and will become firmer when kept in this manner.
For a gluten-free option, substitute the oats for rolled quinoa flakes.

I made these bars following the recipe exactly and they were delicious but a tiny bit too sweet so the second time I made them I replaced the rice malt syrup for natural peanut butter, however, they turned out a bit dry. Any suggestions on how to make them without the rice malt syrup but still hold its moisture? Should I add more oil?
So glad you enjoyed the recipe and let’s see if we can sort this out for you.
The peanut butter would have dried the recipe out and so if you want to keep this additional ingredient, I would add more oil yes.
Without the peanut butter, you’d only need a little more oil.
This recipe does require a binding agent (such as eggs).
If you’re looking for a replacement that’s still nutritious, I recommend a chia egg (or 3 of them in this case!).
Check out an easy recipe here and good luck.

Only three days left to the restart of our transatlantic-record attempt single-handed – nonstop – without any external assistance.
The Austrian technology company Fipofix and the Austrian art of engineering set new standards.
From continent to continent, "Proof of Principle” stands for the world first attempt to cross the North Atlantic in an only 16 foot (4.90 meters length) sailing boat, which is entirety out of volcanic fibres, single-handed, nonstop and without any external assistance from east to west and subsequently from west to east by the dreadful northern route.
Due to serious electricity problems on board of Open16 Fipofix skipper Norbert Sedlacek had to stop in Gijón (ESP) on November 13, 2013 after three stormy days in the Bay of Biscay.
After adaptation of the board electricity power supply, Harald Sedlacek, son of the Austrian extreme sailor, will go about his first extreme-sailing trip with this record attempt.
The challenges of the wintry north Atlantic, coldness, stormy sea and loneliness are waiting for him. During the estimated sailing time of 40 days, he will sail approximately 4.400 nautical miles in a sailing boat which provides only 1.5 m² of “protected” area.
An extreme-sailing adventure in a class of its own, which shall proof that with the synergies of innovative product- and material- technology and resolute power of endurance nearly everything is possible.

Of all the grand roundabouts that punctuate the Paseo del Prado, Plaza de la Cibeles most evokes the splendour of imperial Madrid. The jewel in the crown is the astonishing Palacio de Comunicaciones. Other landmark buildings around the plaza’s perimeter include the Palacio de Linares and Casa de América, the Palacio Buenavista and the national Banco de España. The spectacular fountain of the goddess Cybele at the centre of the plaza is one of Madrid’s most beautiful.
Ever since it was erected by Ventura Rodríguez in 1780, the fountain has been a Madrid favourite. Carlos III liked it so much he tried to have it moved to the royal gardens of the Granja de San Ildefonso, on the road to Segovia, but madrileños kicked up such a fuss that he let it be.
There are fine views east from Plaza de la Cibeles towards the Puerta de Alcalá or, even better, west towards the Edificio Metrópolis.

The disbursement of N25billion Employment Trust Fund (ETF) initiative to Artisans, Traders, Others in Lagos State will commence in December, 2016.
Akinwunmi Ambode, Lagos State Governor, made this known at the graduation ceremony for 500 artisans trained by the State Government on modular employability programme in nineteen different trades, said the informal sector remains a critical vehicle for economic recovery, adding that Government was passionately committed to repositioning the sector for economic gains.
He said the N25billion ETF, which would be disbursed for the next four years on N6.25billion annual basis, was one of the initiatives designed to empower the informal sector, adding that government was open to ideas and strategies that would aid sustainable growth of the sector.
“Let me tell you clearly that the N25bn ETF is for artisans and entrepreneurs in Lagos State. We will commence disbursement from the month of December, 2016 and let me assure you that a larger percentage will go to our carpenters, our tailors, our hairdressers, our vulcanizers, and so on. Everybody that is a tradesman and is an artisan in Lagos will have automatic access to the Employment Trust Fund (ETF),” Governor Ambode said.
Speaking at the event which also coincided with the 7th Tradesmen and Artisans’ Week, the Governor said the ETF was an initiative with the cardinal mandate to support the establishment and growth of small businesses to create job opportunities for the people, adding that soft loans would be provided to genuine and credible artisans and traders in the State.
Besides, the Governor said it was now time for conscious and concerted efforts to re-engineer the mindsets of young ones and advance entrepreneurs with the view to repositioning them to face modern challenges, saying that except focus is shifted to equip and rebuild the informal sector, members would not be vibrant enough for the prevailing realities of the moment.
He assured that his administration would not sit and wait for oil prices to rebound in the international market before arriving at a solution to the challenges confronting the state, hence the need for the ETF and other initiatives.
On the training for artisans, Governor Ambode said such was one of the platforms for recognizing and projecting the significant contributions of the informal sector as a vehicle for economic development, adding that government was equally mindful of the fact that artisans were the major players and the conveyor belt for industrial enterprise in the country.
While urging the newly trained artisans to leverage on the strategic position of Lagos as the contributor of 25 percent of the total GDP of Nigeria and 5th largest economy in Africa, Governor Ambode said the training which they passed through was designed to address this skills mismatch and provide the right mix of skills needed to service the industrial needs of the State.
Responding to requests by artisans through their representatives, Governor Ambode approved that the beneficiaries of the training should be increased to 1,500 artisans next year and a yearly subvention of N12million and brand new operation bus for the Lagos State Council of Tradesmen and Artisans (LASCOTA), among others.
Earlier, Commissioner for Wealth Creation and Employment, Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti said the 500 artisans were re-trained and up-skilled on eight weeks intensive programme solely sponsored by the State Government for better service delivery.
On his part, LASCOTA Chairman, Alhaji Nurudeen Buhari thanked Governor Ambode for the various efforts aimed at improving the productivity of artisans in the State, especially the Tradesmen and Artisans’ Empowerment Programme (LASTEAP), saying that the continuous training had impacted positively on their productivity and enhanced them economically.
