Man pleads guilty to felony wire fraud
A Lubbock man has pleaded guilty to knowingly committing the felony offense of wire fraud.
Mike Wooten pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony, a federal crime punishable by up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
Wooten, owner of West Texas Lighting Management, admitted to filing false tax reports and committing fraud.
According to court documents, Wooten pre-billed the third party company West Texas Lighting Management used to collect money from its clients. He billed Diversified Lenders for work that hadn't been performed.
Wooten furthered the scheme by misrepresenting his gross sales figures to pay less in sales tax to the State of Texas than he owed, according to court documents.
He admitted to actively working to conceal the fact he was committing felony fraud.

My ears were clogged for four months, then I used the Elephant Ear Washer and in minutes they were no longer clogged! I'm a true believer in this simple, pain-free way to unclog your ears
My whole life I've had to go in to the doctor to get my ears cleaned out at least once a year. I typically go to the walk in clinics. This last time they used this rhino ear wash system on me. When the nurse walked out I wrote down the name and looked it up when I got home. My new insurance has a co-pay of $75 for an urgent care visit, and even a regular doctor visit is $25, so for the cost of one regular visit, I can now clean out my ears whenever I need to. I save time, money and I'm not sitting in the doctor's office getting exposed to germs. Love it! I do it in the shower and when I get out my husband checks that nothing is left in the opening. So great! Wish I had known about this years ago. With little kids it's hard for me to find time to go get it done, and I'm sure at least one of them has inherited my tiny canals. Now I can do it any time.
A. Grow
Our family doctor used this on my husband today and I am ordering one right now. The over-the-counter ear cleaner just was not working this time, so my husband had to go to the doctor.His ear was really starting to hurt. It worked like a charm and the nurse said it almost always gets all the wax out on every patient.
M. Kennedy
What a great product! My husband can hear for the first time in a long time. Quick delivery and good price. I highly recommend this product if you have a wax problem.
Tina Owen
My daughter has long ongoing ear wax issues. This is like the washing system they use at the doctor's office but she can use it at home in the shower. Shouldn't use it more often than once a month or so, but works like a charm...

You're at a cocktail party full of people you don't know. This is not the most comfortable position for you to be in, but you are determined to make an effort. This is a "make it work moment".
You look around to see if there is anyone as
miserable, I mean as squirmy as you are. Across the room, you spot a couple of people chatting who are clearly not together. Slowly, you inch your way over and nonchalantly, join their group. Eye contact is made, success! You introduce yourselves and give each other your first names.
The next question is:
What do you do?
Of course it is. This is always the second question after "what is your name".
The person in this story is me and probably a lot of other folks. When I took my early retirement, I gave the following long-winded answer:
I took an early retirement because we lost a huge public sector contract that I was managing. Of course, this would result in layoffs. I put my hand up because I knew I was done with the rat race. Plus, I was old enough to take an early retirement. I was lucky, they let me go.
But I think I was really saying…
I left willingly. I was NOT laid off.
Why do we ask?
Why do people ask what you do for a living anyway? This happens all the time at any event or gathering where there are people who don't know each other. What are they really asking:
- What is your socio-economic status?
- Are you worth talking to?
- What is your identity tribe?
- Who are you?
Or, maybe they are just indulging in a lazy and harmless habit that helps us find common ground. In today's society, especially in North America, so much of our time is spent at work that "what we do" goes beyond being just employment. It starts to define who we are.
For many years, I'm sure that my role as a Sales Account Manager for a major corporation did impact my identity. But I always knew that it was just a role I played, it wasn't who I was. In fact, at the end, playing that the role had become exhausting and I didn't like who I was. So I was happy to go; I've not looked back since.
The Reaction
When I tell others that I have taken an early retirement, most people react positively and wish me well. But I've also had some rather rude and negative reactions, as in "It must be nice!" in a "how dare you" voice. I look younger than 56, so sometimes I see a narrowing of the eyes that means they disapprove of my choice. Or sometimes it's a look of sympathy that means they assume I've been laid off.
I don't know why this bothers me, but it does. And, it has happened enough times that I am now reluctant to tell strangers.
A Better Response
I've been thinking about this for a while. I've done some searching on the Internet for input.
Clearly, a lot of other people don't like this question either. Doesn't matter how old they are or what they do. Well, my favourite piece of advice so far comes from www.lifehacker.com. The writer suggests that you answer this question by telling people how you solve problems.
This example by a mens' fashion stylist would break the ice with humour while providing fodder for small talk.
When people ask what I do, I usually flip the question and say, "You know how most guys don't dress very well?" This usually gets the person nodding along. Then I talk about how I solve that problem. I might mention that I have a 9-year-old, and let's say I go to take him to the doctor. Now imagine a guy comes in who is wearing a Grateful Dead t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. Am I going to give my kid to this person? Probably not. Now imagine a guy wearing a white lab coat walks in. Everyone can relate to how clothing can make a huge difference."
If I were to use this method, I just might say:
I write about my personal experience of aging gracefully and try to provide practical tips and tools to help women in my demographic feel inspired and optimistic. And, I enjoy sharing these stories on social media with a like-minded community. A long time ago women over 50 were considered "old". Not any more, 50 has become the new 40. Would you not agree?"
This response needs some more work but I think it's more interesting than just saying that I have become a blogger and am doing some work in social media.
What do you say? Any other alternative ideas?

The term 'frail older people' has been defined as people over 75 years of age with geriatric syndrome, i.e. the presence of numerous chronic diseases and signs and symptoms such as incontinence, falls, cognitive impairment and reduced mobility (Saavreda Muñoz and Barreto Martín, 2008). However,
some older people are 'frail' before the age of 75 years. Therefore, frailty in older people should generally be associated with older people who have advanced, progressive, incurable illness and/or considerable health and social needs (Department of Health, 2001).

Jonny Mitchell and Tyla Carr became incredibly close during their appearance on Love Island earlier this year.
And now the brunette beauty has lashed out at his former girlfriend, Made In Chelsea star Stephanie Pratt, after the pair dramatically ended their four month relationship.
Tyla appeared to side with former flame Jonny after Stephanie made explosive claims that the businessman had "cheated" on her, something he vehemently denied.
"Jonny explained the situation and I 100% believe him. I think she's taken it a bit too far and is being a bit bitter," she told Mail Online.
"Jonny's doing really well and is just trying to get on with his life and do his own thing.
"He just wanted it to be an amicable thing with them both agreeing and without it being malicious. He's an adult, he's not a child, he's a gentleman."

Love Island's Jonny Mitchell and Made In Chelsea star Stephanie Pratt's budding romance has been going from strength to strength since Jonny left the island – click here to see their romance in pictures
She continued: "We just get on as friends, and we stayed in contact the whole time he was dating Steph. He's always been a very honest guy."
OK! Online has contacted a representative for Stephanie Pratt for comment.
The Love Island star confirmed their relationship was over last month, sharing an exclusive statement with OK! Online.
"Jonny Mitchell and Stephanie Pratt have ended their relationship," it read.
"Jonny has fond memories of the times they spent together and wishes Stephanie all the best of luck in the future."
Despite Jonny keeping quiet about the reason behind his break up from the beauty,reports claim he was unfaithful with another reality TV star.
"Steph thinks that Jonny was cheating on her and she's convinced it was with a girl, who she's met several times, on the reality TV circuit from a really famous TV show," an insider reportedly told The Sun.

Nationality and Defining "The Right to Have Rights"By: Katherine Ebright
Since the late 1990s, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and scholars have suggested that legal nationality, as is relevant to the right to a nationality, comprises not only traditional rights regarding movement and access to diplomatic protection but also civil and political rights. They have equated nationality with enfranchised citizenship, identifying certain groups of non-citizen nationals as stateless. This Note reviews the history of nationality in international law and concludes that nationality and citizenship were and continue to be separate concepts.

Building tiny web services lightning fast with heroku and python
I often build scripts that need to have some kind of network persistance layer or tiny web services that munge files or json or whatever. When I have to do this I don't immediately reach for rails, or any of these other super heavyweight frameworks. The reason for this being that I don't need all the extra super powers those frameworks come with, and I can instead deal with a little more of the manual stuff because I'm not going to be spending much time doing any of that anyway. This article will try to serve as a guide to setting up tiny python projects on heroku. Using the Notely Server as an example.
Set up your project
Make sure you've got the heroku gem,foreman and venv installed and run the following commands
#create diriectory
mkdir appname && cd appname
#create a virtual python environment that won't screw with your global one
virtualenv venv --distribute
#use python environment and install dependancies
source venv/bin/activate
pip install flask
pip install psycopg2
#create a base app.py file
wget http://samphippen.com/app.py -O app.py
#create files necessary for heroku to run
pip freeze > requirements.txt
echo "web: python app.py" > Procfile
#add everything into git
wget http://samphippen.com/pyapp.gitignore -O .gitignore
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
#setup heroku
heroku create --stack cedar
heroku addons:add shared-database
#push to heroku and open in a browser git push heroku master heroku open
Change something
In app.py, you can see a route that matches "/" and returns the text 'Hello World!'.
This is the base point for our app, use the Flask docs to
change something, run the server with
forman start and see what it's doing locally
before pushing back to heroku
Persist stuff
When you ran the giant blob of commands up there, you added a database to heroku using postgres. You can interface with this database by using a psycopg connection. To create one you can use the following python snippet
username = os.environ["DATABASE_URL"].split(":")[1].replace("//","")
password = os.environ["DATABASE_URL"].split(":")[2].split("@")[0]
host = os.environ["DATABASE_URL"].split(":")[2].split("@")[1].split("/")[0]
dbname = os.environ["DATABASE_URL"].split(":")[2].split("@")[1].split("/")[1]
conn = psycopg2.connect(dbname=dbname, user=username, password=password, host=host)
once you've got a database connection you can query it using Psycopg's interface .
This is, I'm pretty sure, the fastest way to get from nothing to a running web service with a database that you can use to build stuff in existence at the moment. For me it's been incredibly useful to be able to throw these services up. I wouldn't have been able to do that with heroku.
Let me know if you've done something cool with this by mailing me

From 35th and the Dan Ryan to the North Shore and Ryan Field to the far suburban scene at Toyota Park and Allstate Arena, everyone can agree that Chicago sports are a beautiful mess.
They've been the source of both joy and despair, casting a tangled, complicated web over the greater Chicago area. They help bring us together but easily can divide us in the blink of an eye. They're the ultimate lifeblood of our conversations in and around the city.
It's hard to spend more than a figurative minute in this metropolis without having some kind of Chicago sports story, even if you're not a fan. You've witnessed the unadulterated happiness springing forward from a victory parade, but you also have seen the unspeakable stupidity of a Chicago sports fan scorned — needlessly abrasive and ritualistic for whatever silly reason.
Of course, if you're a Chicago sports fan it all resonates on a different level. And at The Chicago Sports Column, we aim to serve you during the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
So what can you expect from The Chicago Sports Column?
We promise to be your launching point for a larger conversation about the teams that consume you. You'll always find something to appeal to your senses here (or something we'd be happy to debate you about).
If you're looking for something examining the bigger picture in the wake of major news about the Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Cubs, White Sox, Fire and more, we have engaging topics that suit you. Whenever you're looking for something singularly focused and nuanced, such as trade breakdowns and deep dives into the numbers, we have that too.
Beyond the major brands that define Chicago sports nationally, you'll also find stories about the athletic triumphs and pursuits on a hyperlocal level. We cover college and prep sports stories important to Chicagoans, and it's done entirely from the perspective of both journalists and fans.
You can expect honest and engaging content from people who have lived sports in this city. And because it's Chicago sports, it'll probably be fiendish and sad in a number of ways. Although we're hoping you'll be ready to laugh with or at us rather than feel sorry for us.
So bookmark our website, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, subscribe to our podcast and let us know what you'd like to hear about. And we'll catch up with you at The Chicago Sports Column.

'Mean Girls' meets 'Lord of the Flies' in revival of 1980s cult film
Bringing to the Flagler Playhouse stage an iconic cult film from the late-1980s, The Spotlight Performers are set to expose the dark themes and enlightening possibilities that come with a musical version of "Heathers."
Drawing talent from as far away as Orlando for the competitive tryouts, "Heathers" is an original "Mean Girls" meets "Lord of the Flies" mash-up that some say is as cutting edge today as it was during its theater release in 1988. The Spotlight Performers' production is set to open June 22 in Bunnell.
Energy and excitement for the story has sparked a revival of "Heathers," spawning the off-Broadway production of the musical in 2010 and a TV show this year based on the classic story of Veronica Sawyer and three friends, all named Heather, introducing teens and 20-somethings to the story that had those now in their 40s laughing or cringing, depending on where they were in their high school cliques.
Directed by Matanzas High School graduate Collin Sloan, founder of The Spotlight Performers, the play's underlying themes are timeless and Sloan works to select shows that will resonate with his peers.
"This show is so relevant right now — it does connect the older audience who grew up in the '80s with the movie and it connects very recently with the youth," said Sloan. "It's the perfect thing to choose, with things going on right now. It's also a very fun show that can lighten it up a little bit."
The show reflects the small independent theater company's mission to bring relevant, thought-provoking material to stages across central Florida. And, in this case, he hopes people will take away the message that it's OK to be real with yourself.
"Veronica has a very specific quote that I think is beautiful: 'If you're happy every single day of your life you wouldn't be human, you'd be a game show host,' and I think it's a beautiful thing because you don't have to be happy all of the time," Sloan said. "In high school, you have to put on this façade, but we see you don't through J.D. and Veronica and it provides such a nice message: be real with yourself."
Daytona Beach resident Forrest Stringfellow plays the male lead, J.D., Veronica's cynically unstable boyfriend who seems, at best, to lack a moral compass leading to mayhem.
"It had kind of been a dream role of mine and I'm ecstatic to work with such a unique theater company that caters to a younger cast with issues that are, and will continue to be, relevant," said Stringfellow.
Sophie Metcalfe, a performer in Universal Studios Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights productions, doesn't mind the hour drive to play the show's female lead, Veronica.
"'Heathers' has always been a dream show to do," said Metcalfe. "It's an incredible show. In high school, I was obsessed with it and I think what keeps me making the drive is the company in general. I think what Collin (Sloan) is doing at his age is absolutely incredible and something I've always lived by is don't let anyone look down on you for your youth," she said. "So to be a part of a show and company so awesome is what keeps me here."

The piece was called "Origami". And it was about a boy who escapes to an origami world.
Matt Stoddart wrote the scenario and did the character designs. He also made these to model after:
Eventually we would create our own patterns. Origami paper is copyrighted and we respect artists' rights.
These would interact with a drawn character.
He's worked as a puppet designer for many years, so he has an innate feel for construction and dimensionality.
This is how he began to breakdown the character:

11 April - Crossrail lives up to its name
always know when there is little new to report about Bexley council when
Bonkers falls back on the Crossrail project developing almost on my own doorstep.
In the past and for about three decades rail users and residents had to put up with constant flooding outside Abbey Wood station but it would appear that Crossrail is taking no chances. A massive storm drain has been dug deep into the ground. Why it needs to be quite that big I have no idea but a construction worker told me it will connect into a network of underground tunnels.
The project necessitates the regular arrival of large vehicles and construction plant in Wilton Road which is a small but busy shopping area. Last weekend while in Malmesbury I received two messages to get myself to Wilton Road quickly to record what was going on there. It transpires that lorry drivers had taken over the road using their own cones and forbidding parking by the general public.
I have heard that car drivers who were reluctant to move their cars were approached with heavy construction tools, bolt cutters and the like, threatening words and racial abuse. The police were called and are still pursuing enquiries. I have been promised some photographs and if they support the stories provided by local traders you will of course see them here.
Note: A subsequent investigation showed that the construction vehicles were working on behalf of BT, not (Balfour) Beatty as originally alleged.

Various Medicine for Chronic Looseness of the bowels After Gallbladder RemovalHere is Review of JVZOO Product with topseller status.
People usually don't like to talk about his or her own bathroom issues, but on behalf of some it is their enormous problem. These evenings up to two zillion people have diarrhea in one year – a colossal number. Diarrhea at all times is not a disorder itself; it is a good symptom of many unfavorable processes in our digestive system system. Some people will experience a chronic diarrhea, which happens when looseness of persists for more versus two weeks, and there are more than 10 watery bowel movements day by day. gallbladder
This website focuses at chronic looseness of the after gall bladder removal. The particular reason why do a great deal folks go through tough times from it also? Is over there non-drug, choix medicine approach for this valuable nasty situation?
The health-care expression for the gall bladder removal surgery treatment is cholecystectomy. This range of associated with is a single symptom related with the postcholecystectomy syndrome; disease that consistently includes pain, gas, bloating, bile reflux, etc.
First let's focus on to unpleasant concerns. Even glowing operation technology and medical experience doesn't prevent my complication shortly after the gallbladder removal medical procedure. Statistically, or possibly even longer 10% related people without having gallbladder before or eventually will gain chronic looseness of the. In often the US 700,000 gallbladders are removed annually, so i personally have every large total number of people with in which it issue after the process.
According in order to medical books there could no heal for this specific disorder, on that point there are just medications to control diarrhea. Even professional people recognize that most cause of diarrhea correct gallbladder extraction is unknown. Anyhow, surgeons call chronic diarrhea subsequently, after gallbladder removals as "bile acids" diarrhoea because bile acids probably are the primary cause. Bile acids are essential parts of the bile.
Bile is produced all by the lean meats and is into all of the gallbladder at storage. When semi ingested foods, happen from the stomach to become the first part of the small but successful intestine-duodenum, gallbladder contracts. The software pushes the particular bile through the bile duct on top of that sphincter associated with Oddi directly the duodenum to breakdown fatty components.
Our body uses bile acids from the bile as laundry detergent to make fat drops smaller. It helps pancreatic enzyme lipase split up the as well as on glycerol and buttery acids, and this also can be particularly absorbed throughout the abdomen wall. This is a good little complicated, but exclusive of understanding, this item is difficult to be aware how so that it will get aid in.
In the normal situation, when bile is alkaline, bile fatty acids are disolveable. Any unusual acidic improvement in bile pH primary to rain of the main bile fatty acids. The insoluble bile acids are significantly aggressive substances, which wear away and irritate gallbladder, bile ducts, sphincter of Oddi, duodenum producing inflammation, ulcers, and in the long run cancer. The doctors found more chance of a person's colon tumor in human subjects after gallbladder removal. Acidity of bile and rainfall of that bile fatty acids is typically the main good reason for your development involving inflammation and gallbladder pebbles. There must be a great more doctor information all over this issue, in some eBook: positive pancreas, vigorous you.
By your way, clients lose their gallbladders simply because to acid bile causing inflammation and in addition gallbladder boulders. Gallbladder keeps bile for a long time; therefore, acidic, aggro bile chemicals have much time that can cause problem and puffiness. No wonder, gallbladder turns first and as well common hole for surgical knife.
However, gallbladder removal an operation does fail to normalize the very acid-alkaline standing of the bile. Because of gallbladder a surgical procedure irritation and furthermore inflammation persist into poorly liver bile ducts, bile duct, sphincter related Oddi, duodenum. Bile/pancreatic acid reflux can approach this very competitive mixture on to the stomach hefty gastritis, careful heartburn, loss of esophagus, etc. Supposed down, unquestionably the bile/pancreatic regurgitate may instigate abdominal grief and diarrhoea.
Let's give up here then think which can build human body shapes acidic? Modern food filled with acid-forming products. These products are sugars, meats, grains, milk, alcohol, and risky fats. Home as well as that, prescription antibiotics in the food coupled with as tablets kill compatible intestinal flora; therefore, enable you to yeast and bacterial over growing in its gut. Here in turn, creates continued fermentation with produces many acidic supplements.

If you are a newcomer to the exciting and eccentric world of Julia Child, watch this brilliant collection of moments from her kitchen in The French Chef, which ran for 10 years after its 1963 debut episode making boeuf bourguignon.
The show, one of the first cooking shows on television, was shot direct to video. As the result, the pace is fast, mistakes happen and Julia is ready with a smile and a quick fix. "Who is going to see?"
She whacks food, throws utensils, employs an old garage broom handle as a rolling pin, rolls her eyes at dieters, and ends every show with a wine recommendation. A "very important cake," for example, deserved champagne.
The show was meant to instruct on the art of French cooking, but Julia teaches other important skills as well. Don't take yourself so seriously. Don't be afraid to try something new.
As she says, "If you are going to have a sense of fear of failure then you're never going to learn how to cook. Cooking is just one failure after another."
I propose a toast to Julia Child. With perhaps a nice Alsation white … or a rose!
Click here to read my day's adventure making Julia Child's boeuf bourguignon as part of my #100daysofcooking project. And here's the post that explains what my project is all about.

The Beginner's Guide to Delegation
In any given day there is only so much you can accomplish by yourself. You can always prioritize your to do list and ensure you get the most important things done but there comes a point in time where you need to get more done. In that case an extra pair of hands, or two or more, will come in useful so you can spread out the workload by delegating work to others. To successfully do this you need to learn the art of delegation.
At Asian Efficiency we love to do things faster and more efficiently. To achieve this you often need to work with other people as well, and skillfully master the art of delegation. What this comes down to is working with other people to achieve a certain outcome. You can get a lot more done (and faster) when you work together with others. It also frees up time for you so you can focus on more high value activities. The problem is that most people are uncomfortable with delegating work. That's what we are going to address today so you can get started delegating work and get more things done.
One versus Many
A frictionless trajectory to an outcome is what everyone wants. The issue when you work alone is that YOU can be the bottleneck – you're the limiting factor of how much can get done. If you want to step up your productivity game you need to start learning how to delegate work. Whether you're running an one-man show or you work in a position where you have to manage team(s) – delegation is a crucial skill to have to get more things done and faster.
This beginner's guide is written for people who really want to maximize their time, want to get more done and who have access to people to get things done. Especially as you become more successful, you will surround yourself with more people that will work with you so learning how to skillfully delegate is important.
Common Fears
One of the most common obstacles that hold people back from delegating work is fear. If you experience any of these below – you're not alone. Oftentimes these fears aren't justified and you have them because of lack of experience. Let's get these addressed and handled.
That person can't do what I can.
Don't underestimate the capacity of others. You'll be often surprised what other people can do when you give them the opportunity to do so (for both good and bad – but let's focus on the positive). The other person might not be able to do it 100% like you can, but striving for perfection is not needed when someone can get it to 90% or 95%. You can always put the finishing touches so it does become 100% to your liking.
I'm afraid the other person will do it wrong and break things.
Give the other person a chance to prove yourself wrong. What do you have to lose? When you first start off delegating – delegate something that will not break the bank and is somewhat insignificant. As you become more comfortable with delegating and you notice the work completed is to your liking, you will slowly kill that fear.
It is too expensive to have someone else do it.
My question to you is: do you know what your hourly rate is? If you don't know this, then you can't justify that fear. We've written about this before in our personal outsourcing guide: calculate your hourly rate and then see if it's worthwhile having someone else to do some of your tasks.
I'm afraid of giving someone else boring work.
What you might find boring, someone else might find it fun to do. The best delegators are the ones who can delegate work to people who enjoy the designated work. The exception to this fear is where you have authority over the other person. In that case you need to overcome this fear by realizing the authority you have over others. If you're the CEO of a company, it's completely fine to delegate tasks you dread to your secretary or team member – you are paying them.
I don't know where to find good people.
Sometimes you've got to take a leap and see where things end up. Anyone who does business online has a gigantic pool of talent to recruit from and delegate to – there are plenty of freelancers and outsourcers at places like Odesk, Elance and Freelancer.
Another good mindset to go along with this is to delegate work to grow someone else's skill set. No matter how tedious and boring accounting might be, delegating it to a fresh accounting graduate is a great way to empower someone else and grow his or her skill.
11 Actionable Delegation Tips
Now that we have addressed some of the fears – let's see how you can get started on this. We've gathered some of our ideas and practical tips that you can use for delegating work to others.
1. Start small.
If you have never delegated before – start with something small and insignificant. This allows you to practice delegating work and to get familiar with the process. As you become more comfortable delegating, you can delegate more significant work.
2. Define outcomes and results.
Let the other person or people know what you want to see as a result. Avoid telling others what procedures they need to do. Instead, let them figure out how to do it as long as they get the result you asked for. This allows others to take control of their work and do it as they see fit while you get the result you desire. There is more than one path that leads to Rome.
3. Set deadlines.
A sense of urgency is a good catalyst to get things done and that's why you should, in most cases, set a deadline for tasks you delegate. Estimate how much time you think it will take, give it a margin of error (more on that later), and set a deadline accordingly.
4. Always clearly state the consequences.
Let your team know what the consequences are for missing deadlines. This will motivate and push them to finish in time. On the flip side, also let them know what rewards are ahead when they do their work accordingly.
5. Always follow up on deadlines.
When you delegate work you need to have strong boundaries and enforce them. When you let things slide and you become complacent it's very easy for others to keep missing deadlines and work. Don't let this happen. If there is a deadline, always enforce it. If others are pushing back then consider moving the deadline but your team should always notify you in advance about this.
6. Check in on a regular basis.
In a perfect world you would delegate work and expect the work to be done perfectly. In reality it doesn't work that way. Check in on a regular basis to see how things are moving along. If there are any bottle necks or questions, that's the time to address it and to resolve it.
7. Give yourself a (large) margin of error.
When you first start out with delegating and setting deadlines, give yourself a large margin of error. As people we are naturally bad at planning and estimating so protect yourself by giving yourself a cushion – especially if you first start out delegating. If you really need something done by Friday, have it planned to be done by Wednesday.
8. Be an open door.
You should make it very easy for people to contact you if they have any questions or issues with the delegated work. Nothing slows down a project more when the next action is waiting for someone. By being easily reached (text messages, phone calls, email) you ensure to keep the project moving forward.
9. Always be clear.
Leave no room for interpretation when you delegate work. Be very specific in what you want so the other side knows what to do. Ambiguity leads to bad work which in turn leads into inefficient work.
10. Lead by example.
When you work in a team the best form of leadership is to be a good example. Inspire and motivate others by showing that you continue to work as well. Nothing kills productivity of the other person more when you dump work on someone else and then just do nothing at all. Lead by example.
11. Make it easy to get started.
As soon as you have delegated – make it very easy for others to get started. You will have to do some advance planning to gather all the necessary tools and resources for your team. For example, if you need someone to make changes to your blog then provide the FTP and CMS details as you delegate the work.
Tasks you can delegate today!

Great article Thanh! I wouldn't be able to maintain all of my areas of responsibility without delegation. From home life: training my children to help out with daily tasks around the house. To work: my assistant tackling the mundane tasks that drain on me but I've trained her to do. To volunteer teams: cast the visitor for our mission and goal – giving them the tools and buy in to take on much of the work as I oversee the project. Delegation is truly a process and takes more time at first, but produces exponential returns on the initial time investment.
Great article Thanh Pham .
"7. Give a large margin of error"; the most complicated point to setup in my GTD system when delegating is concerned.
Delegating is hard – and I daily face this in my job- because I have to:
* set a large margin (time, money, ..) of error for the delegated job because I do not how (how, how fast, ..) the targetted people will handle the job
* set specific task for following (email, meeting, ..) the job
* set specific ad-hoc entries in my calendar to answer questions.
When I delegate a task to a colleague, I always add an extra 25% of time/money on this task in my Gantt timeline.
But you are NOT a superhero… even if you known that you probably do the task faster, you HAD to delegate:
* because you are not alone in the company
* some colleagues need to be fed by some delegated tasks .. to be avoid to be fired (sometimes, that's the only purpose of the delegation)
* because your working calendar only contains 10h per day.
9. Always be clear.
Leave no room for interpretation when you delegate work. Be very specific in what you want so the other side knows what to do. Ambiguity leads to bad work which in turn leads into inefficient work.
I think this is key, and it also shows why people are reluctant to start delegating: because a lot of the time we aren't very good at being clear to ourselves about the exact task. If you're doing the work yourself, you're able to discover the outcome while you're doing the work. It's bad practice, but it's easy. If you don't have practice being clear, then specifying a project clearly enough to delegate it is daunting. Working on clarity is the key delegation skill.
Great article. Delegation is definitely super important, both professionally but also personally. It does take practice, and your tips above are an excellent way to get into it. I definitely was more of a micro-manager and worrier about delegating when I first started formally managing staff a number of years ago, than I am now. I think two main realisations helped me switch:
1. In the long run, delegating saves me time and stress – it may take longer for the other person to do a task first time round, but they then quickly learn
2. I may think I am amazing, but I am not indispensable, indeed it is my duty to delegate and help others learn and grow. But for people doing the same for me, I would not be where I am today.
These are great points you bring up. I'm a big fan of the mindset "to grow someone else's skill" as it comes from a good place.
Great stuff!
What I find the most annoying about delegating is that when the other party is not responding – even when sending mails or calling.
You are not kept up to date how the delegated task is moving forward (or is it at all). I know that it is the delegator's responsibility to check things but even when those checks do not bring back any results, that's to most frustrating thing ever.
Any ideas for that kind of situation?
That's a tricky situation. If it is a case where the person is very unresponsive, I would get rid of that person and find someone else.
In the end you still have to take full responsibility for it. That's why it's important to check in on a regular basis to ensure everything is on track. But if the other party is not responding you're better off finding someone else. It's not worth delegating to that person then.

This Celtic Tiger-era Malahide mansion offers size, luxury and privacy with a few celebrity neighbours for €2.4m
Almost 20 years ago, as the Celtic Tiger roared, Abington was launched as a new concept in gated luxury living. Millionaires' Row, as Abington came to be dubbed, would be a place where celebrities and Ireland's newly-moneyed classes could live alongside each other in vast homes, cocooned from the prying eyes of the paparazzi.
This style of a ready-made affluent community was partly inspired by the exclusive housing developments then popular in the south of England. Indeed, developer Parkway Properties brought in an English firm of architects, Melville Dunbar Associates, to implement the concept.
These architects toured Dublin suburbs, taking notes of their period architectural features, before coming up with a scheme of Georgian and Victorian-style houses, each one set on half-acre landscaped gardens and linked by wide, curving roads.
In return for tags of between €2m and €4m – then-record prices for a new estate – the well-heeled buyers were rewarded with pools, home cinemas, Jacuzzis, games rooms and thousands of square footage.
The lavish homes attracted celebrities such as Boyzone star Ronan Keating, Georgina Ahern and her Westlife star husband Nicky Byrne and later, footballer Robbie Keane.
Then these trophy homes became synonymous with Ireland's boom and bust: Parkway was headed by John McCabe Snr, one of the Maple 10 investors who bought a 10pc stake in Anglo Irish Bank from Sean Quinn in 2008 in a desperate attempt to stave off the institution's collapse. McCabe himself was pursued by Nama, which even secured a receiver to his wife's jewellery, including a diamond ring said to be "the size of a Brussels sprout".
No 20 Abington, which had been owned by former Anglo Irish boss David Drumm, was sold after a US bankruptcy trustee recovered his assets. The banker was jailed for six years last year for his role in a fraud conspiracy.
Since the recovery, demand has pushed up for homes here. About half of the 50 homes at Abington's 43-acre wooded site were built by Parkway, and the remainder were houses commissioned by the owners themselves on plots purchased from Parkway.
No 17 Abington, which is going on the market for the first time, falls into the latter category. The six-bed mansion, which was completed in 2001, is up for sale because the vendors' children have flown the nest.
The property is set on about two-thirds of an acre of grounds, which include a double garage and a paved driveway with space for at least five cars. Accessed by electric gates, it has 4,865 sq ft of living space spread across three floors.
The double-fronted house is mock-Georgian in style, with its grand proportions, hipped roof, stringcourse, multi-paned timber sash windows from Rationel, two columns flanking the entryway, and iron railings to the boundaries.
There is a contemporary version of a fanlight over the sage-green front door. Inside, there is wood panelling and Crema Marfil floor tiles to the entrance porch and to the reception hall. The star of the latter space is a hardwood central staircase that leads to a gallery-style landing.
No 17 has four reception rooms, three of which have fireplaces, and a conservatory on the ground floor, so the new owner won't be stuck for entertaining space. And if overnight guests can't be accommodated in one of the six en-suite bedrooms, there is studio accommodation above the double garage.
David Blanc, the property's selling agent at Sherry FitzGerald Blanc, says No 17 has a more practical layout than other mansions. "Quite often larger properties have huge hallways and a lot of wasted space, but the flow of this house is around the family and entertaining, so it works perfectly."
Its dual-aspect drawing room commands views of both the front and rear gardens. Double French doors lead from this space to the side conservatory, which is currently used as a playroom and has its own set of French doors to the back garden.
Unlike most of the reception rooms, which have Crema Marfil flooring tiling, the formal dining room has teak floors from Junckers. This room, which is fitted with wood panelling and coving, has a bay window with glazed double doors opening onto the rear garden.
The front sitting room overlooks the front garden, while the family room has three sets of French doors opening to a side garden and a patio. This room is beside the kitchen, which has built-in Miele and Neff appliances, built-in Alno units, a breakfast counter, and a separate utility room, though the new owners may want to freshen up the kitchen units and countertops.
The bathroom to the master suite on the first floor has already been given an overhaul, with new tiling, his-and-hers basins with Grohe taps, a Jacuzzi bath and a separate shower. The master bedroom also has a dressing room with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, as well as double doors leading to a terrace enclosed by wrought-iron balustrades.
The first floor is also home to three further bedrooms, a study and a Tylo sauna. Two of the bedrooms on this level share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom that has been modernised with double wash basins, Grohe taps, and granite shelving.
If the new owner has teenagers, they will especially appreciate the two en-suite bedrooms at the upper level: a spiral staircase from the first-floor landing leads to the dormer bedrooms.
No 17 was designed to make the outdoor space a natural extension to the reception rooms. The patio and barbecue area overlook a rear lawn with a water feature, colourful shrubbery, and an enclosed children's play area. All the gardens are bounded by mature trees and hedgerows, lending an air of privacy.
The eventual purchaser of No 17 Abington will likely be more low-key than the development's boom-era purchasers. "Expats coming home from abroad are the prime market these days," Blanc says.
No 17 Abington has an asking price of €2.395m and is selling through Sherry FitzGerald Blanc.

text: Rhea Cabay My birthing experience took me by surprised when my OB Doctor told me that I was going on a c-section procedure even if I was 8cm open because my baby's heartbeat keeps fluctuating. I had been in labor for almost 10 hours that time. I wasn't ready for that news so I cried a river. But I was so glad that Nurse Sarah of delivery dept. and other doctors were so kind to comfort and explain to me that it was the best option for my baby. and so to make the long story short, I delivered a healthy baby via c-section. The procedure took only 30 mins and it was excellently done! I was awake the whole time. My recovery was great too! I was very well taken cared of by nurses and doctors of postpartum dept. They were all excellent! :) Thank you all for making sure that you do your best ability to take of your patients!

Just like any other sea creatures, sea urchins are also getting lots and lots of threats. Some of these threats include overfishing and pollution in the ocean. Furthermore, because of the extreme decrease in the total number of the sea creatures in the wild, they're now placed in the threatened species list. Meaning, they may be in danger of extinction in the near future.
The size of the sea urchin mainly depends on what species it is. However, usually, they have a diameter of about 1.2 to 3.9 inches. The shape of it is like a globe but is protected with so many long spines. Furthermore, the body of the sea urchin has outspread symmetry, which means every sea urchin can be separated into five even parts.

Former South Carolina Gov. and Rep. Mark Sanford announced that he will run for president, challenging President Donald Trump in the Republican primary.
In a tweet, Sanford said that he was entering the presidential race in order "to further and foster a national debate on our nation's debt, deficits and spending."
Just a day earlier, the South Carolina Republican Party announced that it would forgo its 2020 GOP presidential primary. The group's statement read: "With no legitimate primary challenger and President Trump's record of results, the decision was made to save South Carolina taxpayers over $1.2 million and forgo an unnecessary primary."
Sanford is the third Republican to challenge the president in the primary, following former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh.
