In September 2014, the premiers of Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut met in Yellowknife to announce the release of A Northern Vision: Building a Better North.
The renewed vision outlines territorial governments' shared priorities, focusing on productive and engaged citizens, energy, infrastructure and governance in the North.
In 2007, the premiers of Canada's three territories met in Whitehorse to announce the release of A Northern Vision: A Stronger North and a Better Canada.
The Northern Vision outlines common priorities for the territorial governments, with a focus on sovereignty and sustainable communities, adapting to climate change, and circumpolar relations.
In 2011, the premiers released two new pan-territorial documents built on the framework of the Northern Vision—the Paths to a Renewable North and the Pan-Territorial Adaptation Strategy.
In 2016, the premiers released an additional document that builds on the Northern Vision – the Pan Northern Approach to Science.
September 22, 2017
Northwest Territories Premier Bob McLeod, Yukon Premier Sandy Silver and Nunavut Premier Peter Taptuna today released the Pan-Territorial Vision for Sustainable Development.
August 31, 2017
Premiers share an interest in ensuring that all northerners and northern communities have an optimistic outlook for the future, and that outlook requires advancement of educational attainment, business development and meaningful employment opportunities, many of which are tied to infrastructure development.
August 31, 2017
Premiers of Canada's three northern territories met in Yellowknife this week to discuss how they are working together to ensure that northerners have increasing opportunities including good jobs close to home and sustainable communities.
April 22, 2016
Yukon Premier Darrell Pasloski, Northwest Territories Premier Robert R. McLeod and Nunavut Premier Peter Taptuna will meet April 28 and 29 in Yukon for the Northern Premiers' Forum.
June 16, 2015
The three territorial premiers met in Kugluktuk, Nunavut on June 16, 2015, for the annual Northern Premiers' Forum to discuss their shared priorities and continued cooperation for building a better North.
Released in 2016
Science is an essential element of building a better North for the benefit of northern citizens and all Canadians. The vision shared by the three territories includes supporting a strong northern science community that is solutions-driven, needs-oriented and partnership based. The Pan-Northern Approach to Science outlines six principles to guide territorial collaboration on science in order to advance knowledge and understanding of the North based on traditional and local knowledge as well as modern science and develop northern research capacity. This approach builds on, and contributes to, 2014's A Northern Vision: Building a Better North.
Released in 2014
This document renews the collaborative vision for the North shared by the three territories by focusing on productive and engaged citizens, energy, infrastructure and governance to create a stronger North.
Released in 2011
Canada's northern territories have committed to work together on climate change. This strategy was produced to build on the partnerships and success of 2007's A Northern Vision. It identifies six approaches to climate change adaptation in the North. The impacts vary widely across the North, but the territorial governments will work together to keep northern infrastructure, ecosystems and cultures strong and resilient.
Released in 2011
The inventory outlines current and future renewable energy resources. It came out of a commitment by the three premiers at the 2009 Northern Premiers' Forum. Providing energy in Canada's North is a difficult, yet critical task. Distinct opportunities and challenges are faced by each territory. This inventory describes the current state and identifies what's being done to increase renewable energy use in the future.
Released in 2007
Canada's North is experiencing unprecedented economic, environmental and political transformation. The implications extend across Canada. This document outlines how, in this context, the governments of Canada's northern territories will build a more prosperous, sustainable and secure North.

Across from the hostess stand in Paymon's Mediterranean Cafe & Lounge on Maryland Parkway is a little door hidden behind a plant stand. It leads into a tiny room, not much more than a closet, thick with the heady aromas of a Middle Eastern bazaar. The storage racks are stacked ceiling-high with bags and bottles of Turkish turmeric, Syrian Aleppo pepper and Persian sumac. A small counter offers some workspace alongside a modest spice-bottling machine.
This is the start of Paymon Raouf's next empire—this one built on the spice trade.
In that tiny room Raouf has been blending the seasonings that go into his restaurant's addictive Athens Fries for years. Premixing the spices ensured his dishes were consistently prepared. Eventually, he began bottling his own mixes and acquired the Spice Bazaar brand, so the adventurous home chefs among his customers could easily experiment.
Having already done the work of vetting quality suppliers, he began mixing spices for the signature dishes at other restaurants a few years ago. Metro Pizza's pasta sprinkle comes from his spice closet. So does Hash House A Go Go's table blend and Ricardo's chili Colorado mix. For local performer Seth Grabel, Raouf bottles "Magic Dust," the magician's own recipe for meats and guacamole.
"My numbers are small right now, but I promise you, we will be the biggest around in five years," Raouf says.
His restaurant started small, too, he recalls, just 700 square feet in 1988. Friends scoffed at his business plan because few Americans knew of gyro meat, hummus and falafel. "'Just sell hamburgers,' they said. But I set my mind to it. I focused on quality. I gave away samples to educate people, and it worked. Now, I set my mind to spices."
Pass the …
A few decades ago, American cooks grabbed the saltshaker to add flavor to dishes. "It kills me when I see 'season with salt' in a recipe," Paymon Raouf says. "Salt is salt. If you want flavor, there are so many better choices." Here are just four:
Sumac: It's in many of Raouf's blends, including his Athens Fries seasoning, and found on most Persian tables, but is hard to find in grocery stores. It'll add a tang to grilled meats and salad dressings.
Aleppo Pepper: Replace whatever red chili flake you've been using with this fruitier, all-purpose seasoning. It'll add brightness and just a bit of heat.
Rosemary: "It grows everywhere here," Raouf says. "Just cut it fresh and start using it. Don't go buy it."
Lemon Pepper: But choose carefully. "The stuff you get at the grocery story relies on salt, citric acid and MSG for flavor. A good lemon pepper uses lemon oil and spices," Raouf says. Salt is the fourth ingredient listed this version.
This summer, Raouf's newest venture, Las Vegas Spice Co., will move into a 3,000-square-foot commercial facility. That will let him expand the custom blending services for chefs. He's also developing a line for gift stores that play off the Sin City reputation. "Stripper Spice" is a sweet mix to "leave you wanting more," the label proclaims, while the "69" blend promises "oral satisfaction in a bottle."
"Don't judge me—it's just marketing," Raouf says, sheepishly. "But, really, who needs another shot glass?" While the labels might be cheeky, the product won't be cheap, he assures. Then he launches into an earnest discussion of spice quality. Take a bottle of lemon pepper off a grocery- store shelf, he challenges, and see how many ingredients are chemicals or fillers. "These chemicals may make your food taste better, but they are cheap substitutes for real spices, for real flavor. And they don't stop working once they leave your tongue. Just imagine what a meat tenderizer does to your body, your muscles. I feel so strongly about this. I could go on."
And he does, lamenting the unscrupulous vendors who mix in dyed corn silks with saffron threads to bring the cost down. Saffron, in particular, strikes at his refugee heart. His native country, Iran, is known for producing the best.
He also extols the medicinal virtues of spices. "These [pharmaceutical] companies make millions of dollars by taking the extracts of spices and putting them in pills. Look at turmeric. It's not in the [American] diet, but it's a good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Put it on your food now and you won't have to take pills later."
Fortunately, he says, Americans are expanding their spice knowledge, as TV chefs and multiculturalism introduce them to new dishes and the Internet makes the exotic accessible. "They're coming around," Raouf says. Just like Las Vegans came around to his hummus.

The builder pattern also relies on constructing the object step-by-step, by method calls. Consider making a pizza for example. You first pour the tomato sauce on the dough, then you add cheese, pepperoni and olive oil. Then you bake it. Can you see the steps? If we were to create a pizza with a single constructor, we'd have something like this:
public Pizza(Dough dough, TomatoSauce sauce, Cheese cheese, Pepperoni pepperoni, OliveOil oil)
What if we'd actually want different toppings on the pizza? For example, instead of pepperoni, I'd like to have some sausage on top of the cheese, and I'm not a fan of olive oil. We'd then create another constructor overload for my pizza, right?
public Pizza(Dough dough, TomatoSauce sauce, Cheese cheese, Sausage sausage)
But now I want pepperoni, sausage AND some mushrooms! I think you can already see where this is going: we'd have a different constructor for each set of toppings we'd like on our pizza.
The pizza example is a classic one. With the builder pattern, using a builder object, I can make a pizza with as many toppings as I want! I can also chose whether I want olive oil on it or not.
We then have our pizza, which now has a list of toppings, instead of individual properties for each one of them:
public class Pizza { public Pizza() { Toppings = new List<Topping>(); } public Dough Dough { get; set; } public TomatoSauce TomatoSauce { get; set; } public List<Topping> Toppings { get; set; } public bool HasOliveOil { get; set; } }
Now we can easily implement our builder in a way that it'll be able to make whatever pizza we want:
public class PizzaBuilder { private Pizza Pizza { get; set; } public PizzaBuilder() { Pizza = new Pizza(); } public PizzaBuilder WithThinDough() { Pizza.Dough = new Dough { Type = DoughType.Thin }; return this; } public PizzaBuilder WithThickDough() { Pizza.Dough = new Dough { Type = DoughType.Thick }; return this; } public PizzaBuilder WithFlavoredTomatoSauce() { Pizza.TomatoSauce = new TomatoSauce { Type = TomatoSauceType.Flavored }; return this; } public PizzaBuilder WithTomatoOnlyTomatoSauce() { Pizza.TomatoSauce = new TomatoSauce { Type = TomatoSauceType.TomatoOnly }; return this; } public PizzaBuilder WithOliveOil() { Pizza.HasOliveOil = true; return this; } public PizzaBuilder WithTopping(Topping topping) { Pizza.Toppings.Add(topping); return this; } public Pizza Bake() { return Pizza; } }
Notice that I left the whole responsibility of creating the tomato sauce and dough to the builder, as oppose to how I implemented how the toppings are added. I also created a property for the two first instead of creating sub-types for them. There's no real reason for this, they are just implementation details.
Just imagine now that for each one of the toppings we'd have a subclass. So we'd for example have a class called Sausage which extends the Topping class.
class Sausage : Topping { // [...] }
To get the toppings, I'll just create a class called Toppings which has a set of properties representing each one of the toppings. We could even apply the factory pattern in it.
After having all of these classes, we could then use the builder like this:
var pizzaBuilder = new PizzaBuilder(); var pizza = pizzaBuilder.WithThickDough() .WithFlavoredTomatoSauce() .WithTopping(Toppings.Mozzarella) .WithTopping(Toppings.Sausage) .WithTopping(Toppings.Onion) .WithTopping(Toppings.Mushroom) .WithOliveOil() .Bake();
It's really easier to make pizza now, huh?
Now to forget about pizza and get back to our world, just imagine yourself building a complex XML document by taking advantage of the builder pattern. I bet it wouldn't be that much of a hard task.

My first encounter with Popeye's was at the Hong Kong International Airport of all places. I circled the shop a few times, but I never did end up entering, there were too many other good options. Ever since then, I've been slightly obsessed with trying to get my hands on their supposedly delicious fried chickens. I mean if it's good enough for Queen Bey, who am I to dispute?
The opportunity came during a much needed down time from a road trip across Canada. I didn't feel like cooking. The name Popeye's was mentioned. And there it was -- a box of Louisiana's finest fried chickens on our dinner table.
The husband ate them the southern way, with the Popeye's biscuits. But I opted for the asian route, with a plate of warm steamed rice, and wash it down with a bottle of ramune I bought a few days prior. Little else can be more satisfying than washing down some fried chicken with gulps of fizzy drinks.
The husband, who has eaten Popeye's before, insisted that Popeye's are different to KFC. But I can't tell any discernable difference until the morning after when I reheated some of "them" fried chickens in the microwave. Normally when I reheat KFC chickens, they would leak oil like nobody's business. But these Popeye's ones don't do that. Am I just lucky that day to get less greasy chickens or is it due to Popeye's superior cooking techniques, I will never know. Or maybe that's why they're Queen Bey's favourite?

WD-40 (Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) Analysis)
Improve your investment analysis with by seeing the WD-40's Discounted Cash Flow analysis, WD-40's Warren Buffet analysis, and WD-40's Comparable Multiple analysis.
Helpful Information for WD-40's Analysis
What is the WACC Formula? Analyst use the WACC Discount Rate (weighted average cost of capital) to determine WD-40's investment risk. WACC Formula = Cost of Equity (CAPM) * Common Equity + (Cost of Debt) * Total Debt. The result of this calculation is an essential input for the discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis for WD-40. Value Investing Importance? This method is widely used by investment professionals to determine the correct price for investments in WD-40 before they make value investing decisions. This WACC analysis is used in WD-40's discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation and see how the WACC calculation affect's WD-40's company valuation.
WACC Analysis Information
1. The WACC (discount rate) calculation for WD-40 uses comparable companies to produce a single WACC (discount rate). An industry average WACC (discount rate) is the most accurate for WD-40 over the long term. If there are any short-term differences between the industry WACC and WD-40's WACC (discount rate), then WD-40 is more likely to revert to the industry WACC (discount rate) over the long term.
2. The WACC calculation uses the higher of WD-40's WACC or the risk free rate, because no investment can have a cost of capital that is better than risk free. This situation may occur if the beta is negative and WD-40 uses a significant proportion of equity capital.

Here is a link to Claire's blog post about the same trip! It contains more pictures!
A couple weeks ago Claire and I, with a group of friends and to be friends, took a trip to Namhae, an island near the city of Busan.
After arriving in a quaint rural area we were given some time to take a look around and get to know our surroundings.
Our first activity was sea kayaking in some pretty tumultuous water.
There were several caves and inlets within the faces of the mountains. Normally you are able to venture into them, but due to the violent water our guide warned us against it.
Dragon Rock!
Next we went snorkeling, well, tried to snorkel. We all ended up throwing our snorkels aside due to cloudy water.
It felt so refreshing to challenge the waves and just swim around! We also did a bit of cliff jumping, though I don't have any pictures.
Chilling after swimming around. We had to wear water shoes due to the jagged rocks. Breathe in those classy tans!
Rough Riders.
We had some friend chicken and beer after an exhausting day.
Just enjoying a beautiful sunset...

Watching 'Chef's Table: France' Episode 1: Alain Passard, is so much more than watching another food show.
The blurb read: The pilot begins with Passard, who is most famous for his drastic turn from a meat to vegetable-only menu in his Michelin three-starred restaurant, and whose language of food is so deeply spiritual and personal that one can't help but feel emotional while listening to him talk. (It worked on me)
To be honest, anything that gets me to fire up a blog post has to be pretty damn inspiring. Passard's story got to me and even re-ignited my passion for my job. Don't get me wrong - I love my job, but in the busy-ness of life it's easy to do what you do, without always thinking about why you do it. Passard's story of wanting to be a chef at the age of 14 and never losing sight of that, despite the challenges is remarkable. His passion for cooking is undeniable, but his story is about the journey and the pitfalls, the highs and the lows, of always evolving, of keeping the passion alive, of being a risk taker, responsive, creative, innovative .... Lets just say it's our Hobsonville Habits and Values rolled into one.
"At Arpege, we work instinctively.
Dishes may change every day, even at each service.
Nothing is written in the recipes.
Everything is made using only what arrives from the gardens. (Passard's gardens, where he refers to his gardeners as 'Artists,' 'companions' and 'life partners').
This is the magic of Arpege. ...
We don't record anything. We don't write anything down.
That forces us to keep looking.
Next year I don't want to make the same recipes that I did this year.
I want things to continue to evolve because, without that, there's nothing.
It's complicated. It's not easy.
But what delicious food we feast on!
What pleasure!
I have chills every day because sometimes I'm afraid.
Am I going to find that recipe?
In the space of a few seconds? ...
When you close your eyes at night, what's important?
You've spent the day taking risks.
You've made some people very happy.
Each day, that is my challenge."

Saline county, Nebraska., being approximately one and one-half miles south and east of Crete. The above forty acre tract was conveyed, November 26, 1873, by Wencl Jelinek and Annie Jelinek, his wife, to the directors of the said Maple Grove Cemetery, namely: G. W. Bridges, Charles Little, James Donnelly, J. R. Webster, and E. O. Wallace.
The Riverside Cemetery was platted September 13, 1879. The first addition to this cemetery was platted October 13, 1884; the second, August 30, 1887; the third, August 4, 1888, and the fourth, June 23, 1920.

After Mr. Bickle had platted the cemetery he offered cemetery lots free of charge to those who had people buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, better known to the people of Crete as "Jindra Cemetery." Quite a number availed themselves of the opportunity and many bodies were removed to Riverside.
The Riverside Cemetery was managed by Mr. J. C. Bickle until his death in 1885, after which his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Bickle took charge until her death in 1900.

The ability to electrically and optically gate the fundamental properties (energy bandgap, occupation number) of quantum confined systems, i.e. quantum dots and nanowires , is explored using time resolved techniques. Large arrays of patterned ferromagnetic nanowires and nanodots are used to experimentally investigate magnetization switching mechanisms, and in particular how the long range dipolar interactions in ordered structures affect the magnetization state of individual elements of the arrays. Current topics in the electronic properties and possible applications of novel materials include intercalated graphite fibers, conductor- insulator composites, and thin- film materials. Most measurements involve low-temperature and/or high pressure techniques. Investigation of basis physics and applications of transparent electronic materials.
Experimental Optics:
Laser spectroscopy is being used to study diffusional processes that result in the formation of fractal aggregates and phase transactions in liquid mixtures, complex fluids, and micro emulsions are under investigation. The optical properties of various polymer solutions, micelles, and microgels also are being studied using laser techniques.
Dr. Kiril Streletzky
Theoretical Optics:
Mie scattering calculations are presently being undertaken on artificially produced and natural aerosols for the purpose of understanding a number of atmospheric and basic scattering phenomena. The structure of optical caustics produced by liquid droplet lenses also is being investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Light scattering methods are being applied to the operation of laser tweezers.
Statistical Physics:
Methods from statistical physics, such as the renormalization group technique, and computational tools are used to study liquids, polymers, superconductors, magnets and biopolymers (proteins). Statistical Physics methods and stochastic processes are applied to cognitive science, polymer processing and problems from biology.

Dr. Ulrich Zurcher
Surface Physics:
Scanning probe microscopy is being used to examine nanoscale physics at surfaces. Surfaces are interesting because surface atoms do not have as many bonds as atoms in the bulk of a crystal, which can affect their properties, including magnetism and electronic conductivity. Further, the arrangement of atoms on a surface has profound implications for devices because how new atoms arrange on a surface can affect how abrupt an interface between two materials is or how ordered the next layer of atoms are. Of particular interest is: (i) How we can use surface structures to control self-assemble of nanostructures and molecules; and (ii) How do molecules diffuse and move across a surface? This experimental work is paired with computer simulations to better understand the physics of these surfaces.
Dr. Jessica Bickel
Atmospheric Physics:
The Earth's atmosphere exhibits many different aspects of physics, ranging from radiative transfer to fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. Our group uses high resolution computer simulations (LES), as well as observational data, to study atmospheric flow, in particular the turbulent structure of the atmospheric boundary layer and boundary layer clouds.
Medical Imaging Physics:
Currently radiation dosimetry in medical imaging is largely patient-generic. Methods are being developed to assess organ dose for individual patients. Monte Carlo techniques are used to simulate the process of radiation transport in the imaging device and the patient anatomy. A large number of virtual procedures are being performed to provide a fundamental understanding of how organ dose in medical imaging depends on patient and device characteristics.

Hi all,
After keeping freshwater fishes for approx. 5 years, I want to dive into the saltwater world. Also, my parents are really willing to have the same.
Please find the details as following:
Tank size - 4 feet * 2 feet * 1.5 feet
Sump size - 4 feet * 1.5 feet * 1 feet (Is it ok?)
I have gone through some threads on FOWLR set up as well as reef set up. I have some basic questions:
i) How important is RO/DI water?
ii) How important is protein skimmer?
iii) How important is high end wavemakers? (Jebao RW15 for instance)
iv) What should be the sump chamber sizes/number of chambers?
v) As I wish to keep mandarin fish in future, need to provide a natural live food source for them including coppods, amphipods, hence, planning to build in sump refugium. Please guide me regarding this.
vi) I have a T5HO fixture ready initially planned for a planted set up. I need to know how many/which color lights are needed for my set up.
vii) I will keep the tank in ground floor. Even in hot summers, the temperature does not exceed 30C. Will it be ok for FOWLR?
Also, please guide me regarding necessary equipments needed to have healthy tank in the long run.
Even if I cannot buy everything high end right now, I will consider adding them eventually based on the importance.
I hope that the tank size is good enough for a stable system in long run. Thats the max size I can afford.
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

A Sham Deal
January/February 2015
No closer: Negotiations about Iran's nuclear capabilities in Geneva, November 2013
The 24 November deadline for a nuclear agreement with Iran came and went with no deal and the likelihood of further delays in 2015. Both the Obama Administration and its European allies are adamant that we have never before been as close to a deal as we are today. Delicate diplomatic issues, after all, require time.
There is little reason to believe them. All evidence points in the opposite direction. The international community can reach a deal over Iran's nuclear programme only at the price of meeting Tehran's red lines. And the problem is that Iran will only agree to restrictions on its nuclear activities as long as they do not ultimately bar its path to a bomb. In the 12 months of negotiations conducted under the interim agreement, Iran won one major policy victory and gained four major concessions in the nuclear domain.
First, Iran has successfully made Western Middle East policy a hostage to the nuclear deal. Iran continues to pursue its hegemonic ambitions in the region. Tehran has stayed the course in Syria and kept up its support for Assad: training, advising and financing Assad's forces and guiding their brutality over the past 45 months. Their ferocity, coupled with Western lack of support for a viable moderate opposition, is what prompted the rise of Islamic State in Syria. Iran's brazen support for the Shia sectarian drive in Iraq did the rest.
Going after Assad and defending legitimate Sunni interests in Iraq is one promising way to complement a successful military campaign against IS. Yet Iran has persuaded Washington that seeking confrontation with Iran over Damascus could jeopardise a nuclear deal. The Obama White House has bought into Iran's narrative that there is a convergence of interests between Washington and Tehran over stopping the advance of IS in Syria and Iraq. These two assumptions have consigned Western efforts against IS to a disastrous stalemate and handed Iran the strategic upper hand in the region. By strengthening Iran's position, Washington has also broadcast weakness to its allies and adversaries alike. This weakness spills over into the nuclear negotiations as Iran is persuaded that Western refusal to go after Iran's proxies means that our lack of resolve can be leveraged in the nuclear domain as well.
Second, the international community has already conceded that Iran will never have to suspend enrichment activities as stipulated under six UN Security Council Resolutions passed under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Moreover, in a final agreement, Iran will have a right to enrich uranium formally recognised. Few remember that Iran was building its enrichment facilities in secret and that, had they not been exposed twice, in 2002 and 2009, Iran might have had a nuclear bomb by now. In 2005 Iran was declared in non-compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to which it is a signatory; in 2006 the International Atomic Energy Agency referred Iran's non-compliance to the Security Council. It was because of its enrichment activities that the Security Council considers Iran's programme a global threat. It is because of Iran's refusal to fulfil its NPT obligations that its economy is under sanctions.

Your shopping cart is empty!
This is the Air Jordan VIII (8) Retro in the black and chrome color way. This pair is a true retro color way in that it wasn't of the original 1993 color ways of the AJ8. Upon release it became an instant classic, sharing the mostly black upper of the "Playoff 8s" and "Aqua 8s" except bringing Chrome in as an accent. This is the closest thing to a "Blackout" pair of AJVIII and definitely fits the "All Black Everything" mantra.

I might be a total outlier here, but I have and hopefully always will be a morning person.
Going to bed just thinking about the smell of fresh coffee the next morning makes me excited!
I also feel so much more productive when I wake up early and after doing some research to see how successful women start their morning and their morning rituals, I wanted to share with you some of the tips I have learned so that you too can have an amazing morning to set yourself up to have a kick ass day!
The 5 Morning Rituals of Successful Women
1) They Wake Up Before 7 a.m.- You know the whole "Early to bed early to rise" thing, well apparently this is true! In a recent article in Forbes the average woman they interviewed out of 12 highly successful women got up on average at 6:03 am every day.
They got to bed early and prioritize sleep so they can get up early and kick ass! They also never hit the snooze button! This healthy morning ritual is something I need to work on for sure!
2) They Workout! All of the women that I read about who are crazy successful know the importance of getting up in the morning and moving their bodies! Anna Wintour, who was the inspiration behind the famous Miranda Priestly in the Devil Wear Prada (love that movie) gets up every single day at 5:45 am and goes and plays tennis for an hour! source
3) They Eat a Healthy, Well Balanced Meal– Stacey Bendet, the CEO and Creative Director of the hugely successful fashion brand Alice and Olivia always starts her day off with a bowl of quinoa cereal before doing her hour long yoga workout.
Another girl boss whom I just ADORE is Annie Lawless, the co founder of my favorite juice company Suja knows the importance of eating a balanced breakfast to fuel a busy day! In an article about what she eats on a daily basis on Mind Body Green she says "I almost always have eggs in some capacity at breakfast, so I simply fried 3 organic eggs in coconut oil, finished with a sprinkle of crunchy pink Himalayan salt".
Eating breakfast to fuel your day is such an important part of healthy morning rituals, and I'm a creature of habit so I stick to either this chia pudding recipe or eggs cooked in coconut oil.
4) They Make Their Bed! This sounds like such a small basic thing but research has shown that those who make their bed in the morning tend to have a more productive day! It gives you an instant sense of accomplishment and a feeling of being organized and ready to tackle anything else you need to do that day! his gives you an instant feeling of success and the feeling that you are on top of things. This simple five minutes of work helps to set the tone for the rest of the day.
One of favorite bloggers. Lauryn Evarts of The Skinny Confidential knows the importance of making your bed saying
"I'm obsessed with starting the day by making the bed. Somehow this sets the tone of the entire day. It's such a simple task but it really makes all the difference to start the day off on a productive note.
While making the bed, I usually turn on some smooth jazz or Brazilian Lounge music. This makes the whole experience more relaxing and enjoyable."
So get up and you're your bed! I promise it will set your day off on an amazing note!
5) They Set Their Intention for the Day– Female powerhouse Arianna Huffington, Editor in Chief of the Huffington Post, wakes up every morning and sets her intention of what she wants to accomplish that day.
This helps her clear her mind and focus on what is really important and needs the most attention that day. If you want to know more about how she is so damn productive, I highly recommend her amazing book Thrive where she shares her secrets to living a highly productive but balanced life as a female entrepreneur!
Morning time is such a great time to set your daily intentions, practice self care through exercise and eating a well balanced meal, and taking small productive steps like making your bed to have a better day overall.
By starting each day on a positive tone and with a ritual that you can look forward to, it will help you avoid the temptation to hit the snooze button so you can get up earlier and kick more ass!
How do you guys like to way up, are there any things you can't live without doing in the morning?
I know I NEED puppy snuggles before I do anything!
Happy Saturday!

Typically, farmers can plant rice around April 1, but unfavorable weather usually prevents them from planting until around April 15. When the latter date rolled around this year, many farmers were well into planting.
Koen said the earlier planting will allow farmers to harvest their rice before their soybeans mature, which will help them space out harvesting.
The dry weather, while helping planting, has hindered seed germination. Koen said some farmers may need to flush, or run water across fields. Flushing will also be needed to incorporate soil-applied herbicides.
Arkansas rice farmers planted about 1.4 million acres of rice last year, more than 40 percent of the nation's total rice acreage. Koen said the crop is predicted to be slightly smaller this year.
Rice prices are "a little low, similar to last year. Medium grain prices are expected to be quite low this year. We're expecting a reduction in medium grain acreage," he said.
"Cocodrie is expected to be our largest planted variety. Last year, Drew was our largest variety in acreage. Cocodrie will replace a lot of Drew and Cypress. Wells should take the place of some of our LaGrue acreage."
Cocodrie, a semi-dwarf or short-statured plant, is preferred by many farmers outside the Arkansas' Grand Prairie.
"In the past, our highest yielding varieties have been weak in milling. Cocodrie has a potential for high yields and good milling quality. The downside is that it's straighthead sensitive. On lighter soils, you have the possibility of straighthead disease. For the majority of soils, however, it's a good fit."
Meanwhile, the use of zinc seed treatment is "a really hot item" because it can save farmers money, Koen said.
Zinc deficiencies in a field can cause stunted growth, yield reductions and even death of plants.
"I've had tons of phone calls from farmers and seed dealers about zinc seed treatment. It's the result of work that Nathan Slaton has done in the last few years and our recommendations.
"Zinc seed treatment is much cheaper than the zinc sources farmers have been applying to rice. It saves farmers about $10 an acre as opposed to making granular or foliar applications."
In the past, the Extension Service has recommended 10 pounds of zinc per acre even though the crop didn't need that much. Zinc is not too mobile in the soil, and to get good coverage in a field, farmers needed to apply a large amount. By putting it on the seed, Koen said, "you're putting it right there where every plant needs it. So we go from 10 pounds an acre to about a quarter- to a half-pound."
Koen said that because of the high diesel prices and low rice prices, farmers are trying to cut expenses. He said stale seedbed and no-till are popular production practices to save expenses.
"In no-till and stale seedbed, a farmer can save from three to six trips across a field. That's money in the bank."

"Motive" is the latest police procedural to grace the small screen, but ABC's new cop drama isn't the typical "whodunnit." Instead, the show reveals right at the top who the killer and victim are, leading the viewers to watch as the cops figure out the whys and wherefores of the crime.
Lauren Holly ("Picket Fences") talks with Zap2it about the throwback feel to the show and the great way it handles female relationships in a male-dominated field.
"'Motive' seems like such a tiny idea, but it's so unique. It changes the whole genre. It's amazing how different it seems," says Holly. "I love that when you first meet the killer and the victim, a lot of times you can't imagine how their paths could cross. It's really fun to see how that transpires."
"And then when you think you have it figured out, there's yet another surprise," she continues. "It's kind of old-school television to me, like a 'Columbo' or something … Yet it's shot in such a way that it looks very cool and modern."
On the show, Holly plays Dr. Betty Rogers, the medical examiner for the department — a feisty redhead who certainly enjoys the men around her, but also considers herself a vital part to the crime-solving.
"I think, personally, that [Dr. Rogers] considers herself a detective," says Holly. "It's just that her crime scene happens to be a body."
"She seems to have a fancy for men in uniform, like policemen or firemen, … [and] she likes the hours it affords her, because she has a very active personal life," Holly laughs.
So, we have to ask — are there any glimpses into Dr. Betty's personal life on the show?
"It's heading that way. You get a little more and more and more, by the end of the first season — she's definitely prepping for something, I'll put it to you that way. But you'll have to wait for the finale for that," teases Holly.
However, male-female relationships aren't the only thing happening for Dr. Rogers on the show. She also has a great working relationship with Detective Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman, pictured, right), which Holly tells us is refreshing in its simplicity.
"It's not made a big deal of. It's just they both respect each other and like each other. Maybe get together outside of work," says Holly.
"Sometimes they tend to make female relationships on shows — you pay too much attention to them. Either it's so good, like that's not usual, or they're so competitive, like that is," she continues. "When the truth is, these are just two women who like each other and work together. It's simple and I think that's kind of cool, actually."
"Motive" premieres in a special sneak peek on Monday, May 20 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC, before moving to its regular timeslot on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. For more information, check out ABC's official site.

Tokyo, Japan-based tattoo artist Chisato Chavo has such a unique style that drawings from her sketchpad are good enough to go directly onto human skin as creative black tattoos.
Working out of the Black Ink Power tattoo studio, Chavo's unique tattoo work may resemble the appearance of a rough initial sketch, but displays an underlining attention to abstract detail that makes for a striking body art design. Each of her unique pieces are done in stark black ink, and display elements found in the artistic schools of both Cubism and Dadaism.
The topics of these sketch-inspired black tattoos range, but the naturalistic world seem to be a recurring theme throughout. To be able to convey so much with so little certainly highlights the skill involved in Chavo's work.

Vernon Ah Kee: cantchant
Organized by the National Gallery of Canada • Curated by Jaimie Isaac, WAG Curatorial Resident of Indigenous & Contemporary Art
This large video, text, portraiture, and surfboard exhibition is by Australian contemporary artist Vernon Ah Kee. Ah Kee relies on his Aboriginal identity as a framework to produce art; his Indigenous familial identities are intrinsic to his work. Presented alongside Boarder X, cantchant is significantly layered—the surfboards and video connect cultural identities to disputed territory around Australia's beaches as it relates to ownership, conflict, and land claims.
Ah Kee's surfboards reflect traditional shield designs in the colours of the Australian Aboriginal flag, and on the flip side provide beautifully drawn portraits of family. The accompanying video shows Aboriginal surfers using the artist's surfboards in fierce competition.

Hey guys - Picked up a 386 system a couple of years ago. RAM issue. Finally toook care of that and got it up and running today.
I am having some issues with the hard drive (HD controller failure message from the 1991 386 BIOS, etc) - a Western Digital Caviar 2120. The no-battery mobo still has the cyl/heads/sec info stored properly. BIOS retains settings so long as you don't power down. But alas - that is the error I get.
I tried swapping the IDE cable and checking the jumpers. Looks good. I pulled it and hooked it up to an external IDE-> USB adapter that I usually use to just fire up an old drive, drag/drop files to.
Doesn't show up with a drive letter in Windows 10, so... I hit up Disk Manager to check partitions. Disk manager does see it and wants to initialize it.
So here is where I have stopped. It would be nice to see if there is any data on there, but I am not sure where to go from here.
1: Any alternative method to use to try to see the drive (hook it up to a spare P90 mobo I have sitting around & see if autodetect can see it)
2: I wonder if a time-appropriate partition manager was installed on it, however...
3: How generic is the HD controller failure message on a 386 from 1991? It has been so long since I have been in a BIOS this old (I think it was my 286 and the year was actually 1991. Don't even remember it, and thankfully my 40 MB HD never had problems. ) Seems like the 386 should still see it, though. Hmm.
