About this book
This book provides a review of the principles and methods of drainage with an emphasis on design. The whole field of drainage is covered, and although the book concentrates mainly on the practice in North America, Europe and Britain, the practice in developing countries is also included. The book is directed primarily at the graduate engineer entering professional practice, but will also provide a useful reference for more senior engineers and for those in adjunct professions. Chapter 1 outlines the necessity for drainage on a large or small scale, for rural and urban areas. As the drainage engineer must decide how much unwanted water there will be and when it will occur, the chapter discusses climatic types, prediction of rainfall, evapotranspiration effects, return periods (of design storms and runoff events), river flow and flood prediction, and various sensing systems for providing short term predictions of rainfall, runoff, streamflow and flood warning. Chapter 2 gives a thorough review of the properties of soil in the context of drainage design. The extensive mathematical theories which relate to the crucial area of soil water movement are outlined and due attention is paid to the growing importance of predicting soil water movement in partially saturated soils.

You would think with a title like House of Mirth there would be some laughs in this book. I know this was published in 1905 and some contemporary cultural references would not translate. You know, like watching the really old MST3K episodes. Huh, a Jessica Hahn reference.....ok, ok that takes me back. No, if there is humor in this, it's lost on me. No one even slips on a banana peel. That is a timeless gag. Australopithecus was laughing about banana peels.
House of Mirth is a Victorian type novel about a young pretty lady who is kind of broke. Her main option, what she was brought up to do, was marry rich. Now she could just become a pharmaceutical rep. Even if you don't marry--it's good money! No problem. Back then, less of an option.
There is some weird things in here about men that are still relevant. Any gift given by a man always has strings attached. Sex strings. Sex Strings would make a good name for a punk band album. The Concrete Pacifier's seminal album Sex Strings.
Edith Wharton grew up crazy rich so she knows what she is talking about with her fancy parties. She also married rich but the husband had severe depression. They didn't have Prozac in the olden times so that would have stunk. I guess you could have hired one of those Freudian psychologists that would have blamed his mother and too many phallic references in his childhood nursery. A lot of good that would have done. Now you're lucky if you get a therapist to text you: eggplant, eggplant, sad face. 🍆🍆😢
This book is well written and not as long as some Victorian novels but this one is only for Dickens-type fans interested in turn of the century sexual politics and high society's complicated milieu. I know that is all of you so don't rush the bookstore all at once.
Let's pretend we are rich even if we are eating peanut butter on spoons. A cucumber, basil, lime gimlet seems like it would hit the spot this time of year. 1&1/2 ounces of vodka, 2 slices of cucumber, 2 small basil leaves, 1 ounce of lemonade and 1/4 ounce lime juice. Muddle the basil and cucumber add the rest of the ingredients with ice. Shake well and strain into a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge or cucumber wheel. I'm planting my basil in batches this year so it doesn't come in all at once. I call that the pestolence. (forgive my pun--I hate myself).

Diverticulitis is the inflammation or infection (or both) of balloon-like sacs or pouches (diverticula) that form in the wall of the colon, typically the large colon. Diverticula of the colon occur when the inner layers of the bowel protrude through the outer muscular layers.
Doctors are not sure of the exact causes of diverticula in the colon (diverticulosis), but they think that a low-fiber diet plays a role. Without fiber to add bulk to the stool, the colon has to work harder than normal to push the stool forward. The pressure from this may cause pouches to form in weak spots along the colon.
In addition, the following may increase the risk of developing diverticulitis:
An estimated 10 to 35 percent of patients with diverticulitis will develop significant complications, including:
If diverticulitis is suspected, your doctor will perform a physical examination and take a medical history, asking questions about your symptoms. Your doctor may also order tests, including a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis, and a colonoscopy to be performed after the episode has ended.
For a mild case of diverticulitis, your doctor may prescribe rest, a liquid diet and oral antibiotics. If your condition is more severe, you may need to be hospitalized for treatment with intravenous antibiotics and/or surgery.
Emergency surgery is necessary for a patient whose intestine has ruptured and for those patients with peritonitis. Surgery may also be necessary for patients whose severe diverticulitis symptoms are not relieved by nonsurgical treatment (such as antibiotics) within 48 hours, or for patients with increasing pain, tenderness and fever.
During surgery for diverticulitis, the surgeon removes the affected section of the intestine. In healthy people who do not have a perforation, abscess or severe intestinal inflammation, the surgeon will immediately surgically join the ends of the intestines. If these conditions are present, however, the surgeon may need to perform a temporary colostomy, a procedure in which the surgeon creates an opening between the large intestine and the skin surface. When the inflammation is no longer present and the patient's condition has improved (typically after about 10 to 12 weeks), the ends of the intestine are rejoined in a follow-up procedure, and the colostomy is closed.
Surgical treatment for fistula involves removing the section of large intestine where the fistula begins, rejoining the cut ends of the large intestine, and repairing the other affected area, such as the bladder or small intestine.
Physicians affiliated with Memorial Hermann have experience treating both mild and severe cases of diverticulitis. The general surgeons affiliated with Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center specialize in abdominal surgeries.

The day at sea can be crowded, but during the rest of the cruise the pool area is nearly desserted because people are all out on excursions, and at night they're eating and watching shows more than likely. Also I should point out, the moment I took the pic there was an especially large crowd because of some activities going on such as belly flop contests, ice sculpting, and a sexy legs contest.

McCashin's Brewery looking for back to back success
In 1999 a South Island family was banned from brewing beer for 10 years. It was a condition imposed on the McCashin's when Nelson brewer, Terry McCashin, sold Mac's Beer to Lion. In 2009 the moratorium was lifted and the McCashin's were back in the brewery producing craft beer, and cider.

Aida: Palestinian Women of Bethlehem
In the introduction to this book, I speak of my struggles over the last few years and condensed my thesis on autonomy and breaking away from the powers of social programming that often conflicts with our ability to understand who we really are. We become so immersed in this socially constructed identity that we begin to believe that it is real, that it is who we are. I went through a process of learning to think for myself and to find the courage to be myself in a world that encourages quite the reverse.

Lunul Amulet Necklace
Because of the harsh reputation Vikings now have, there's a common misconception that women were treated badly by the men; this couldn't be further from the truth.

This Lunul Amulet, shaped like a crescent moon, is symbol of fertility, strength and luck.
Wear it everyday to bring some good fortune into your everyday life and feel as powerful as a Viking woman.

Centers for Common Disease Genomics
The Centers for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG) are a collaborative large-scale genome sequencing effort to comprehensively identify rare risk and protective variants contributing to multiple common disease phenotypes.
The CCDG initiative explores a range of diseases with the goal of:
- Undertaking variant discovery for enough different examples of disease architectures and study designs to better understand the general principles of genomic architecture underlying common, complex inherited diseases.
- Understand how best to design rare variant studies for common disease.
- Develop resources, informatics tools, and innovative approaches and technologies for multiple disease research communities and the wider biomedical research community.
The CCDGs study cardiovascular diseases (early-onset cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, hemorrhagic stroke), neuropsychiatric diseases (autism, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy), and immune-mediated diseases (irritable bowel disorder, asthma, Type-1 diabetes). CCDG studies have been limited to the nine selected diseases to increase study power.
The CCDGs collaborate with other projects, including the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Trans-omics for Precision Medicine program. The centers also receive co-funding from NHLBI.
We currently estimate that the CCDG program will sequence approximately 100K whole genomes and 125K whole exomes during the life of the program.
More information on the CCDGs, including publications, can be found on the Coordinating Center managed website: http://ccdg.rutgers.edu/.

Some things are better small. And this compact gadget from Xiaomi is guaranteed to leave you cleaner and refreshed – ZHIBAI Electric Shaver Razor.
Xiaomi may be renowned for its smartphones, but it also has hands in a wide range of other segments – connected or otherwise. Its Mi ecosystem of products includes rice cookers, electric bikes, robot vacuums, luggage, smart lamps and so much more.
The beauty about Xiaomi is that it not only design, builds and markets its own products, but also helps homegrown brands get discovered and commercialised.
You may be already familiar with Xiaomi's Mijia line of cameras: dashcam, 360-degree camera, security cameras, just to name a few. Mijia is one of Xiaomi's growing number of partners that sells products under the Xiaomi umbrella.
Xiaomi also has a crowdfunding platform – home.mi.com/crowdfunding where you can back ideas you want to see commercialised. Yes, just like Kickstarter. The breadth of products is amazing, and you'll find anything from outdoor equipment, clothing, selfie sticks to furniture, and more.
Now that you've got a primer, let's talk about ZHIBAI.
Like Mijia, ZHIBAI is one of Xiaomi's partners that produces electronic products. Its latest gadget is the third electric shaver in Xiaomi's portfolio, the initial ones being the Mijia Portable Electric Shaver and Mijia Electric Shaver 360 Float Shaver.
The ZHIBAI Electric Shaver Razor is undoubtedly the most compact in the Xiaomi line-up. It measures just 10 x 10 x 8cm and weighs just 86.5g.
The durable metal housing is IPX7 rated, so you can shave away in the shower. It will withstand immersion in water of up to 1m for 30 minutes.
The razor uses a specially-designed rotary engine (no, not Wankel, silly) based on German technology, capable of an incredible 8,500rpm with a high torque of 180g/cm.
It's equipped with two shaving heads with blades from Japanese steel by Toyota. Expect razor-sharp performance and ultra-quiet operation.
Juice is supplied by two built-in 450mAh batteries that provides up to 45 minutes of use. To charge, it uses a USB Type-C port. Unfortunately, there's no fast charging but a full charge will give you enough juice to last up to 30 days. There's a low battery indicator, so you'll know when it's time to get it plugged in.
Pricing and availability
The ZHIBAI Electric Shaver Razor is not officially sold at Mi Stores here in Malaysia but you can pick it up from online retailers. And it's pretty affordable too, at around MYR99 (originally sold at CNY99).
You can buy the Xiaomi ZHIBAI Electric Shaver Razor from Shopee.

"Write A Strong Marketing Website Content"
Getting into a very competitive market is usually hard for any brand-new service; specifically, when the marketplace is currently filled, the startup is badly funded, as well as the market share it has actually declared until now is still 0%.

They melt via a great deal of loan, attempt different points, and at some point stopped with the concept that no brand-new gamer could truly obtain any type of the portion of the existing home business market.
Just what numerous startups fail to understand is that competitors breed's adaptation, as well as the resulting effects, is business supplying better services at mainly reduced costs. If you intend to grow a successful new business in an extremely open market sales management, numerous aspects need to the met, and a rigorous adherence to them would certainly determine if your business will make it past its rough stages to ultimately end up successful.

As opposed to making all the choices based on your intuition or on openly readily available marketing research data, take time out to ask your clients if you offered them right and just what part of your services require improvement.
Another set of people to ask are your workers; specifically previous employees that are no more with your company. These sects interface straight with the customers and also recognize a few of their deep discomforts or gains concerning your services or products.
You could get comments from previous workers using your present employees due to the fact that, they no more owe anything to your company and also would certainly feel extra comfy ranting regarding their experience at their previous job place to a previous associate than to a previous boss.
Make Your Customers Seem Like They Own Your organization
The customers are the most essential individuals in your organization. They determine if you stay or fall out. Their patronage is every little thing to your survival, and a little exit ramp could get a bulk of them gone permanently.
When managing this very fundamental part of your organization, it is very important you make them know just how much you care about them. Their happiness must be your joy due to the fact that, angry customers could spread out bad news like wildfire and damage your reputation while doing so.
Till you can make your customers feel not much like a household, but like one of the most vital individuals on the planet, you will certainly never be really effective.
Conduct marketing research
Marketing research entails accumulating and also examining details concerning your market, including your consumers as well as rivals. It is essential to investigate any new market you are moving right into to prevent wasting time and loan on failed jobs.

Recap About The Best Ways To Grow In An Open Market
Doing this in this situation, especially if it's about your market it shows no actual indications of earnings for the old gamers which will definitely end your company. Instead of sign up with the bandwagon of business owners investing a great deal of money on points that include no actual value to the business like main automobiles as well as similar inefficient expenditures, focus rather on investing all that cash on the one point that has actually shown an extremely scalable potential.
By narrowing your emphasis as well as including your prices, you not only manage your costs much better, but you additionally established on your own for development in the future.

Once he'd made the decision to create a series of pen-and-ink illustrated books about pre-war Berlin, graphic artist Jason Lutes had to look far and wide for photographs of the German capital in the doomed days of the Weimar Republic, and its people, before the rise of the Nazi party in 1933. And before the bombs of the Allied forces turned Berlin into rubble.
"Usually, when we're looking at the past visually, the pictures we get are the postcard pictures of famous landmarks and famous people," Lutes told lithub.com. Not what he was looking for.
Lute's three-volume graphic novel Berlin – compiled from 20 years of serialized black-and-white strips – is rich in historical detail; he's a 50-year-old American who'd never been to Germany before he began the project. Yes, he located photographs of daily life, taken before Hitler, fascism, war and despair had settled over the city like a black blanket. "To imagine what life was like for people at the time, I wanted to really limit my understanding of what came later," he explained.
More than 100,000 copies of Berlin have been sold, and an omnibus edition – including all three massive volumes – has just been published. "If there was ever any doubt of a graphic novel's ability to achieve a high level of storytelling," raved Newsday, "this book blows it away."
Praised for its sympathetic character studies as well as its stark visual realism, Berlin stays focused on specific citizens: Marthe Müller, a young woman escaping the memory of a brother killed in World War I; Kurt Severing, an idealistic journalist losing faith in the printed word as extremism takes hold; the Brauns, a family torn apart by poverty and politics.
Lutes will visit the Arts XChange, 515 22nd Street S., Sunday (Nov. 18) to speak, and sign copies of Berlin. The free event, from 3 to 5 p.m., is a partnership with Tombolo Books and the Florida Holocaust Museum.
The austere comic strips stay away from overt violence; indeed, Lutes avoided including swastikas, on purpose, until the very end. Berlin is about the people, and the city, in a time of great unease – the calm before the storm.
In lithub.com, Lutes was asked about certain similarities between Weimar Germany and the present-day United States. "Here's basically somebody who's positing himself as a strong man who will bring us all together—spouting a lot of the same rhetoric that any strong man throughout history has spouted, including Hitler," he said.
"We're in a place where reality feels like speculative fiction, which makes historical fiction like my book seem quaint."

Jessica Biel sure has come a long way since the "umbros and No Fear shirts" she's said she used to wear in the days of 7th Heaven. On a whirlwind promotion tour for the new A-Team movie, Ms. Justin Timberlake has been wearing some of the most gorgeous, feminine looks of her career. Get the look at home:
Biel wore this sophisticated Oscar de la Renta ivory crepe de chine blouse and tweed jacket to the Today Show.
To get the soft beige/ivory tweed jacket look, try this Tory Burch Holly Jacket ($247.50, down from $495.00). Pair it with dark jeans like Zoe Saldana did, for a trendier look.
Nothing is girlier than a white, silk ruffled top; you will love this Robbi & Nikki Silk Sleeveless Blouse ($145). The sleeveless style is great for work (when paired with flared trousers) or for a cocktail party (when paired with a bright, patterned skirt).
Jessica appeared on David Letterman in this incredibly chic and romantic blouse/trouser look. Biel paired the blue silk Christian Lacroix blouse with wide leg Catherine Malandrino.
Try the look at home with this romantic Erin Fetherston Peignoir Blouse ($725) which, yes, is super expensive–but it looks exactly like hers – the sleeve length and silk buttons are a fashion throw-back. Very Mad Men, don't you think?
Pair with wide leg or flared trousers like these ASOS Kick Flare Tailored Trouser ($42.27), which are incredibly flattering – especially when worn with some high strappy heals or pumps.
Biel was a knock-out in this floor-length, bold patterned DVF gown at the CFDA awards.
Get a little slice of DVF maxi dress magic yourself. This Diane von Furstenberg Ethyl Linen Wrap Gown ($385) is perfect – from the bold pattern, flowy feel to the sexy neckline.
Study up on more of the summer trends Biel's been wearing. From rompers to clogs and summer dresses – we've got you covered.

My Accomplice – by Ali Knight
Ali Knight, author of The Silent Ones, introduces her crime-writing inspiration: the one and only Stephen King.
Posted on February 4, 2016 in Guest Author
Tags: ali knight, crime accomplice, psychological thriller, stephen king, writing inspiration
My accomplice in crime is Stephen King. While most people probably think of King as a horror writer he has over his career written many fine psychological thriller novels. Misery is one of the great crime thrillers of our time. Each time I read it, I get a greater understanding of the complexity and creativity at work, but King makes its whole seem effortless.
Paul Sheldon, a much-loved writer who has just finished his latest bestseller, crashes off a mountain road in winter and is rescued by his 'Number one Fan', former nurse Annie Wilkes. Seriously injured, Annie drags him out of his snow covered car and cares for him at her isolated home. Paul's slow realization that he is a bed-ridden prisoner is her home is bad enough, but when Wilkes discovers the manuscript for the latest book Paul has just finished, reads it and decides it needs a different ending, or someone's gonna get hurt, things take a very serious turn indeed.
Tension, thy name is Stephen King.
At first glance it's not an easy task to make a novel about a man confined to bed with terrible leg injuries a pacy, action-packed study in fear and paranoia, but this highlights the creative genius at work in King's books.
Thrillers need several components to stand out from a crowded field: great plot, great tension, great characters, great dilemmas, and a universality which allows the reader to think, 'God, what if that were me.' King's training in the horror genre certainly means he pulls no punches, what Annie does to Paul's legs at one point in the novel leaves the reader thinking, 'Thank god that's not me.'
There are many different worlds of imprisonment represented in this book, which makes it multi-layered and very perceptive: Paul is trapped writing bestsellers he no longer enjoys, he is trapped in a bed and dependent on the painkillers Annie hands out only if and when she feels like it. Annie is trapped in her mental problems, her dark past, and her addiction to the Victorian bodice-ripper genre that Paul conjures up in his bestsellers and aren't real.
Critics have theorised that Misery is in some ways autobiographical, that King was feeling trapped by the public's insatiable desire for more horror books. Maybe so, but with Misery King was able to step out of his horror furrow and transcend genres. The result is a treat and allowed him to experiment with different genres and voices thoughout his long career. For example, in Dolores Clairborne, written a few years after Misery, King spends the whole novel writing from the point of view of an old, working class woman. The result is a linguistic and stylistic tour-de-force.
When Paul Sheldon finishes a novel he smokes a cigar and celebrates with champagne. It's his ritual. Flesh and blood writers have them too. When my latest manuscript has been sent off I go for a long walk in central London, desperate to be away from my computer and immersed in noise, life and colour. I remember once carelessly stepping off the pavement on the Embankment and the harsh honk of a horn sending me reeling back to safety, the puff of air from a passing bus caressing my face. I thought of Paul Sheldon then, so sure of where he was going, so fleetingly triumphant as I was, but there is always only a gutter or an icy mountain road that separates us from disaster.
The Silent Ones by Ali Knight is out now.

Galactic: The Xmas Edition is an unreleased game created by Stavros Fasoulas in 1993 exclusively for the Amiga.
It's a mix of a platformer and a flying multidirectional shooter, vaguely reminiscent of Robotron and Bubble Bobble.
The Finnish developer was well known for some excellent C64 games, including Sanxion and Quedex. That's why some previews of the game appeared on CU Amiga and The One. Finnish magazines also gave the early version of Galactic an excellent rating. But in the end, Fasoulas was not able to find an official publisher. So he decided to release an unfinished version, renamed Galactic: The Xmas Edition, on the cover disk of the January 1994 issue (out in December) of The ONE magazine. Perfectly in time for Christmas.
Galactic was probably not good enough to get an official release, but it's still fun, especially if you play it during the holidays!

Today, it meant nothing. The inevitable- reaction that had given early twenty-first-century negroes a slight sense of superiority had already passed away. The convenient word "nigger" was no longer tabu in polite society, but was used without embarrassment by everyone. It had no more emotional content than such labels as republican or methodist, conservative or liberal. Jan's father had been a charming but somewhat feckless Scot who had made a considerable name for himself as a professional magician.
As they approached the front door (which was not very easy to distinguish from the rest of the glass wall facing them) it swung automatically open with a fanfare of trumpets. Jean guessed, correctly, that she would be heartily sick of that fanfare before the day was through. The current Mrs. Boyce greeted them in the delicious coolness of the hail. She was, if truth be known, the main reason for the good turn-out of guests. Perhaps half of them would have come in any case to see Rupert's new house: the waverers had been decided by the reports of Rupert's new wife.
Glancing quickly round the table, he could see nothing suspicious in the faces of his friends. They seemed as intent, and as expectant, as he himself~ "IAMALL" spelled the plate, and returned to its point of equilibrium. "'I am all,'" repeated Rupert. "That's a typical reply. Evasive, yet stimulating. " He paused for a moment, obviously deciding upon his next question. Then he addressed the air once more. " "No," replied the plate promptly. Rupert looked around the table.

There is so much advice out there about the power of de-cluttering, I don't know about you but whenever I hear the phrase de-cluttering I get a mental image of lots of clothes, shoes, bags and books being placed in black bags and being lovingly gifted to the local charity store. I feel a sense of relief for my house being clean, tidy and clutter free and I get a warm glow knowing that I am doing my bit for local charity. I also get a secret thrill at the thought of having space in my wardrobe once more and start thinking about all the lovely new clothes that will fill it (I know that is not meant to be the point but I am honest!)
Over the summer, I did have a massive de-clutter of our house and in particular my wardrobes and my home office. It felt totally liberating and I really did feel a sense of lightness when I was finished. As I look around me now, there are still areas of my home that I need to focus on and I feel really drawn to a less complicated arrangement, where I can always find the things I want and there is just more space.
On the theme of decluttering… I had a really powerful experience last week that I wanted to share with you. I guess I am not alone when I say that de-cluttering has always been about the physical for me. It has always been about the charity bags and the clean and tidy home. Last week I took decluttering to a new level and I realised that I have been in a phase of decluttering this year without even realising. Here is what happened…
I think as a coach and mentor to women, it is incredibly important that I also ensure that I receive regular coaching for myself. I think it enables me to be a better coach for the people I work with. So, last Friday I had arranged to have a coaching session with my coach. We had agreed to meet at a local hotel and, as is often the case right now, I found myself running a few minutes late for the session.
As I was driving over, I was considering what topic I wanted to be coached on. I think right up until I raced in to the hotel making my apologies for being late, I had not really settled on a topic. We sat down together and the coaching began and I found myself talking about the feeling of overwhelm I was currently experiencing. My coach knows that I am a visual person and that I am highly intuitive and so she asked me to describe what the overwhelm felt like to me. I suddenly found myself describing my life like one of my handbags where the contents are jumbled together, there is too much inside it and you can never find your keys because there is just so much stuff to get through.
She took me through a 30-minute conversation that involved unpacking all the contents, deciding what segments I would want inside my bag and then carefully getting rid of stuff I no longer needed OR carefully placing things in to the right segment of the bag. As we worked through this I had stated to her that I felt like I had taken too much on and that I didn't feel I was getting enough time for me. I could clearly see the segments in my handbag and it came down to 3 things; my corporate work commitments, my business and my personal life. Even just getting to this point was such a relief and I started to feel lighter. As with all good coaching, I was asked to commit to an action and my action was to fill out my planner with all my commitments to the end of the year so I could see exactly how much I had going on and where I had capacity.
Following the session, I felt so motivated to take the agreed action and to truly see how cluttered or uncluttered my life truly was. I raced home and reached for the planner that Rob had bought me for Christmas last year. Because I am visual and I love colour I decided I was going to schedule things in different colours so that I could easily identify different categories. The categories I landed on were:
Corporate work
No Ordinary Woman business
She is Unstoppable book launch
Health and wellbeing
Personal development
Time with Rob (yes, I scheduled that too!)
I spent a good amount of time just scheduling all my commitments in to the pages of the planner and when I finished I felt incredible. My mind felt so free from having had to carry the burden of keeping all my appointments and commitments in my head. The reality is that I am busy and there is not much free time but it helped me see that I can manage the commitments that I have currently made and that there is not much capacity for me. This is so helpful because it means I must be strict with my boundaries now and to stop keep saying YES to everything!
The other thing it enabled me to do was take stock of where I am spending my time. Because everything was colour coded, it was easy to see where certain aspects of my life are getting neglected. For example, I was not spending much time on my own personal development and it has helped me determine if that balance feels right or not and how I can rectify it by scheduling more time for this as I move into January and beyond.
This week I have felt so much more in control. I have known day by day and hour by hour what I have committed to and because these activities have been scheduled, I have achieved them. I have not felt overwhelmed by the volume of commitments because I know I have it under control and I am not going to keep loading more in to the system. I feel like I have achieved more because things have felt less chaotic and more planned. To continue with the handbag analogy, my bag has felt lighter and every time my hand has gone in the bag, I have found my keys!
The moral of the story is that physical decluttering of your home and possessions is wonderful and can make you feel great but mental decluttering is completely liberating.
Here are some tips on how to clear the clutter from your mind…
- Get everything down on paper that is going on in your head so that you don't have to remember it
- Categorise the things on the paper so you can easily put them in to bigger chunks
- Schedule time in to undertake the tasks. Try and schedule for at least a week if not longer
- Use a scheduling tool that works for you. I love having something physical so a planner works for me but there are lots of online tools such as Google calendar or an app such as Trello
- Look at the schedule and reflect on what emotions you are experiencing. Are you feeling relieved that it is planned out? Does it feel manageable? Do you have enough time for you?
- If you are still feeling overwhelmed or the balance doesn't feel right, what activities can you get support with, which can you postpone, which can you cancel?
- Take a few moments, close your eyes and focus on your breath and remember that you have GOT THIS!
I would love to hear how you get on with this exercise so please comment below!
Next week I will be looking at the benefit of emotional decluttering.
Until next time
Be Extraordinary
Ps I would love to thank Gill my coach for an awesome session that had a massive impact!

The Lithium Ion Battery Advantages
Throughout the release procedure, the lithium ions travel from the anode to the cathode and vice-versa. Let's know a little more about the benefits of lithium-ion batteries.
Just how do these batteries work?
A variety of sorts of Li-ion batteries make use of many kinds of cathodes. The cathodes are made from electrons. Generally, the anodes are made from carbon. As with various other sorts of batteries, the chemical reaction which occurs between the cathode, anode and the electrolyte create an electric current. Apart from this, the stuff used for these will help determine the price, capacity, performance and also the protection of a particular kind of battery.
Li-ion batteries, as an example, that contain a lithium cobalt oxide cathode may give you a little higher capacity. Nevertheless, they're more reactive due to the reduced thermal capabilities. Another superb option is the lithium iron phosphate. Their life cycle is 4-5 times longer. Furthermore, their power density is around 10 times better.
These batteries are of different classes, but they're commonly utilized in mobile or consumer devices such as mobile phones and laptops. Apart from this, this kind of battery is also popular to be utilized in aerospace, military, along with other electric automobiles.
Given below are some cons and pros of lithium-ion batteries.
Lighter and smaller:
These batteries are light-weight but offer greater capacity than other kinds of merchandise out there. Consequently, it's commonly utilized in mobile devices where the bodily specs such as the form factor and weight are on the record of significant considerations.
Energy Density
Lion batteries contain the greater density of energy than other forms, which suggests you may enjoy increased capacity regardless of the size. This is the reason these batteries are an ideal selection for power-hungry devices such as mobile phones and laptops. With advances in technology, we might have greater abilities down the road.
Another superb characteristic of a Li-ion battery is the fact that it is only 1.5percent self-discharge speed a month, meaning that it offers longer-shelf-life. The reason is that its release rate is lower than the majority of the other rechargeable batteries. Here it is important to remember that the self-discharge speed of a nickel-metal hydride is 20 percent per month.
Fast charging
This kind of battery recharges rapidly. Usually, it may take a good deal less time to recharge than other forms available available available on the market.
Open-circuit voltage
Li-ion batteries offer you high open-circuit voltage when compared with other batteries such as nickel-metal hydride, lead acid etc.
These batteries last longer than other batteries. Even after countless recharging cycles, it'll retain its own capacity. By way of example, some batteries of this kind loss only 30 percent of their capacity even after one thousand cycles.

Mom guilt. Why? Why is this a thing? More specifically, mom guilt about our contributions to the household and resuming a professional career. I am positive that I am not the only stay at home mom out there that lives in a constant cycle of guilt each month when the bills are due. When I am home with my son, I ride a roller coaster of emotions. I feel elated to be home and seeing those two adorable, loving eyes look up at me, those chubby little arms reaching for me, and that brain just exploring the world around. Then, in the same hour, I manage to feel guilty about not contributing financially to our household. When I do consider pursuing an avenue to earn money outside of the house, I feel guilty about choosing work over being at home with my child. Anyone else?
Here's the thing, I do this to myself, 100%. My husband doesn't put any pressure on me to get back to work, in fact, he is fully aware of the contributions I make to our household by staying home. His hours are crazy at his job and they're always changing. In a financial sense, we are both on the same page that my returning to work would help with bills, yes, but it would also create a new expense in daycare, which would cut my salary significantly, all while everything at home would be neglected. From the time I wake up, I take care of our son (who is breastfed and that in itself is a full time job), our two dogs, tend to a bunch of crazy chickens and ducks, do household chores, run errands, cook, and maintain a clean house. My days are busy and I'm usually ready for lunch before it's even 12 o'clock.
Yet, in the midst of being busy, productive, and valuable each day, I still find the time to beat myself up.
So lets just add one more layer to the guilt sandwich- feeling guilty about making myself feel guilty- rather than savoring every moment to its fullest potential.
Money is cruel thing in this world, am I right? This whole roller coaster of guilt is fueled by money. We all want it, need it, and never have enough of it. The saying "Money doesn't buy happiness" may very well be true at it's core, however, it can sure alleviate problems, stress, hardship, etc. you may be experiencing. No, I do not think that money itself will make you happy, of course not, but I do think it can make your life easier, less stressful, and therefore help create an opportunity to live your life in a way that you otherwise wouldn't be able to, which could promote happiness… to a reasonable extent.
For me, the craziest part in all of this, is that being a stay at home mom has been my dream in life for years and years. How backwards, right? Now that I am living that dream, I'm almost trying to run away from it just so we can earn more, have more, and save more. So I can have my own money to spend, so we can take vacations, and so that I can buy my son whatever I want to. How superficial is that?
My goal from here out is to be content and to learn to let go of the guilt. I want to be home with my son and I choose to be. I have always wanted children and I have not only been blessed with an amazing and joyful baby boy, but I am blessed to have the luxury of spending each day with him, and I realize many mothers don't. I get to see his "firsts" and witness his growth. Sure, we won't take a vacation this year because we're a one income family, but I get to look back on this time knowing that I didn't miss a thing in my son's first year. Time passes too fast and I know in my heart that I am very valuable right where I am, and that I am learning to be the best mom I can possibly be.

Hope Ministries
|Amount Raised
of Matching Funds Remaining
Since 1954 Hope Ministries has loved, challenged and transformed people whose lives have become unmanageable. The people Hope serves are often referred to as "homeless", but housing is just one of many problems they must overcome. Clients also struggle with addiction, mental and emotional health problems, physical health problems, unemployment, low educational attainment, broken relationships, lack of support systems and many other challenges. Hope seeks to love, challenge and transform people by, first, relieving their immediate crises of food, shelter and safety. Hope provides emergency and transitional housing (up to two years) for 35 single men, 16 single women and 18 families. Hope's Community Kitchen feeds both the residents living at Hope as well as any other person who comes for a meal. As clients begin to stabilize at Hope, they go through a Christ-centered, grace-based set of programs designed to heal the underlying pain and brokenness that is at the heart of their struggles. As these deep internal issues heal and transform, clients participate in programs such as Adult Education, Employment Readiness, Job Search, Parenting, Family Development, Addiction Recovery, Financial Management and Family and Personal Wellness to equip them to make healthy choices in the future for themselves and their families.
The funds raised through Give Local will support Hope's core mission of feeding and sheltering men, women and children, and giving them the opportunity to transform their future through Christ's healing power.
In the last 12 months, Hope has been working closely with the City of South Bend, local businesses and other local service providers to seek a long-term solution to permanently house the chronically homeless who are still living on the streets of our community. While the solutions have not been fully defined yet, we know that Hope will play a central role in implementing the new services. By giving to Give Local you are helping to ensure that Hope has sufficient funding for the critical services we currently provide, which will allow us to dedicate greater time and energy to planning, funding and implementing the additional critical services our community needs.
