Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by German-born Joseph Pilates. It is especially practiced in the United States where Pilates lived, developed, and taught his method and the United Kingdom, where he lived and taught early stages of his method.
Pilates called his method "contrology" from "control" and Greek -λογία, -logia.
Pilates is an exercise system that strengthens the entire body with special focus on toning the core muscles. Training the deep muscles of the abdomen and back to support the spine allows greater ease of movement in all daily activities.

Dear Service Provider
The Scheme is aware of the article published in Business Day on 22 August 2016 and the Scheme would like to respond to some of the matters raised in the article.
GEMS Solvency Ratio
It is correct that the GEMS solvency ratio is not at the 25% level as required by the Council for Medical Schemes (CMS). However, this is not a new situation and is not unusual within the healthcare funding industry with some of the largest, fastest-growing medical schemes reflecting a similar situation, which is generally attributed to the cost of funding high membership growth.
It is furthermore important to note that the CMS is busy reviewing the solvency ratio requirement for the industry. It has requested input from the medical scheme industry with regards to proposed changes in the calculation and targets of the solvency requirement, which will ultimately impact on the current requirement of 25%. Due to the current high hospital claims the Scheme's solvency ratio has decreased. However, the Scheme is fully able to meet its financial obligations in providing healthcare to our members
GEMS reserves
The GEMS reserve levels have historically been under pressure following a period of rapid growth experienced during our formative years. This has more recently been compounded by the high industry-wide increase in claims.
We wish to assure you that the Scheme has a solid business plan in place, which was approved by the CMS during 2015. The plan projects that GEMS will reach the 25% solvency level in 2020.
The accumulated funds held in reserve by GEMS, in line with legal requirements, totalled R2, 6 billion while the reserve ratio was 9.46% as at the end of 2015. In the interests of members GEMS, unlike other medical scheme, does not apply waiting periods or underwriting exclusions.
The Scheme actively monitors and manages the solvency risk through the following means:
- The capital adequacy risk is documented on the risk register that is regularly reviewed by the Board of Trustees.
- Scheme management reviews the monthly management accounts where the Scheme's financial performance is monitored.
- Monthly management accounts and the Scheme's quarterly performance reports are submitted to, and discussed with, the Council for Medical Schemes (CMS).
- The annual budgeting process, long term projections, and prudent planning allows the Scheme to review its capital adequacy and solvency levels to ensure continuity of operations and sustainability.
High claims – an industry-wide concern
The Scheme and the greater industry are most concerned about the high claims experience, which is being experienced throughout the industry and is placing many medical schemes under considerable pressure. At the Board of Healthcare Funders Conference, both GEMS and Discovery indicated that they are experiencing increases in hospital admissions due to supply induced demand.
The Scheme was proactive with regard to these matters and engaged the Council for Medical Schemes who also confirmed that there was an industry wide experience on the increase in hospital claims and associated costs relating to the hospital admissions. Further to the engagement, the Council for Medical Schemes in their Circular 26 of 2016, "Furthermore, in an effort to contain hospitalisation costs, medical schemes are encouraged to not only monitor the number of hospital admission and length of stay, but also to focus on the utilisation of services, once beneficiaries are admitted."
Underlying factors that relates to this increase are due to the Scheme's non-application of underwriting which results in anti- selection, Supply induced demand in hospitals (increase in beds), Fraud, waste and abuse and economic pressures.
- Scheme's decision not to underwrite cost the Scheme over R350 million every year since establishment. During 2015 we saw over 8000 beneficiaries that joined the Scheme within a year and also resigned. These beneficiaries paid over R30 million in contributions and the Scheme paid well over R149 million in claims.
- During the last part of Q4 2015, there was an increase in hospital beds due to supply induced demand. Last five years there has been an increase of 6% in Scheme beneficiaries whilst beds capacity increased by 18%.
- Fraud, waste and abuse, the scheme experienced high hospital claims which we are of the view caused by hospital cash back plans.
Within GEMS our claims ratio is at present above 90%. As part of its strategic plan, the Scheme has targets in place to manage the claims ratio in line with providing value for money and addressing affordability. However, based on the Scheme's low non-healthcare costs (7.5%) our claims ratio would be higher than other schemes.
At 7.5% the non-healthcare expenditure of GEMS, which includes administration costs, is substantially lower than the industry average of 11.8%. This careful management of the Scheme has resulted in savings of around R1.2 billion. The funds saved by the scheme have allowed us to fund more healthcare services for our members.
The scheme had commenced to meet up with Stakeholders and members to share this information and to also inform them of the measures the Scheme need to implement to curb the rising costs. One of the measures is for the Scheme to apply underwriting in certain categories our membership which are already included in the rules of the Scheme. However, the Scheme will ensure that, accessibility to the Scheme is not compromised especially to previously uncovered employees in the Public Service.
We will continue to engage with stakeholders and also put to rest fears with regard to the contents of the article that appeared in the Business Day. GEMS is in a good financial position and will be able to meet its financial obligations beyond the upcoming years.
We trust that you will find this response helpful.
Kind regards
Dr Guni Goolab
Principal Officer of the Government Employees Medical Scheme (GEMS)

I see dozens and dozens of technology startups and yesterday I sat back and jotted down the similarities between my clients that manage to raise money. Disclaimer: it is not scientific, it is not conclusive, and in many cases I actually do not get updated on whether the fund raising round was successful or not.
Here are some similarities:
- More than one exceptional team member, the company is not just carried by one strong CEO
- Straight to the point discussions during the briefing meeting, no buzz words, no vague marketing frameworks, no empty discussions about flow in the absense of substance
- A positive and happy working environment. Supportive feedback, respecting people's time instead of negative comments all the time, insisting on unreasonable deadlines, making people wait a long time, calling in person meetings to communicate something that could have been done in a phone call. These are places you want to do your best
- People are open to reposition, change things that are pretty fundamental to the company.
- Taking advice and input form people the right way. Some people get listened to, others ignored.
- A realistic awareness of strengths and weaknesses
OK, you need to have a good business concept. But looking back at the above points, these are companies that designers like to work with (and presumably investors want to work with them as well). There is a contagious, positive energy among them.

Lavender and rose are two of the most soothing scents in nature. As the name of a salon, they suggest a special place to recharge and rejuvenate. Owner and stylist Lucy Garcia says that her inspiration for opening the salon was to encourage women to take time for themselves out of their busy routines.
"What personally inspired me, was the moment I realized I was so caught up in everyday anxieties and stress, that I did not notice my appearance, that my clothes and hair were outdated," Garcia said. "I then realized how important it is to all women, mothers, wives, employed or not it is to feel good, and essentially look good!"
Lavender + Rose is a space where women can be transformed into a beautiful version of themselves, for a special occasion in their lives.
"For example, their wedding, first or twelfth photo shoot, and/or a night out," Garcia said. "The service is not just about the makeup application, but the whole experience. The feel of coming into the studio, spending a good amount of time watching themselves transform into their ideal beauty dream! Having someone else do this for them, so it is as easy as showing up, and seeing themselves as others (the makeup artist) see them in their ultimate light."
Lavender + Rose offers all salon services as well as onsite wedding and events make up. The salon offers hair cuts, color, specialty styling like vintage hair styling and updos and makeup. The staff at Lavender + Rose are artists and the clients are their canvas.
"We love fashion colors and hand painted natural highlights," Garcia said "We also offer onsite wedding styling and on set hair and makeup for film and print. Our studio also doubles as a photo studio, we like to get creative and do themed or editorial type photo shoots, where all styling is done in studio."
The portfolio shows the process of wedding makeup as a kind of ritual of transformation, magically turning mundane places into something special and unique with the right makeup, hair and accessories. Beneath the artistry there is a strong layer of professionalism, and stylists are well versed in hair and makeup as well as the latest styles. Wedding makeup and hair doesn't just present a beautiful appearance, it will stay in place all day through a hectic round of activities.
Garcia and her stylists have done onsite styling for various events including weddings, pageants, family parties and even elopements. The salon also carries art and jewelry by local artists for a complete and indulgent beauty experience. As women have always known, the confidence that comes from looking your best can spill over into other areas of their lives. So even if your life is a mess but your hair is perfect, that may have to do. It may even be enough.Photo credit: Maura Jane Photography

Jacob Scavuzzo emerges as a prospect to watch
By Cary Osborne
Yes, there are Dodgers playing baseball in October. Nine players from the minor league system are on the Glendale Desert Dogs of the prospect-rich Arizona Fall League.

Save the date: 2016 Dodger FanFest is January 30
As announced in October's Dodger Insider magazine, next year's Dodger FanFest at Dodger Stadium will take place January 30. (For a recap of the 2015 event, click here.)

What historical milestone awaits Clayton Kershaw in 2016, other than hopefully his first World Series title?
If the lefty ace can strike out at least 254 batters by the end of the regular season October 2, he will become the youngest pitcher in National League history to reach 2,000 career strikeouts — by more than a year.

"I guess for the men watching I could just tell them that it had to do with plumbing, and we can let it go at that," he quipped. "But I'm fine. I really am."
Scully talked postseason and changing managers, as well.

Joc Pederson tied Chicago's Kyle Schwarber for fourth in the vote for Sporting News NL Rookie of the Year, after the Cubs' Kris Bryant, San Francisco's Matt Duffy and Pittsburgh's Jung Ho Kang.
Andre Ethier was fifth in the Sporting News balloting for NL Comeback Player of the Year, won by Mets pitcher Matt Harvey.

Report: Don Mattingly to manage Marlins
By Jon Weisman
Don Mattingly and the Marlins have agreed to a deal for him to become the next Miami manager, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com confirmed today.
An official announcement is expected after the World Series. Mattingly will be the 15th manager in Marlins history and the second with Dodger ties, following Jeff Torborg (2002-03).
John Boles (1996-2001) later became a Dodger senior advisor, and Cookie Rojas, who managed the Marlins for one game in 2006 between Rene Lachemann and Boles, was the starting second baseman as a roookie for the Reds in the first game ever at Dodger Stadium. A week later, according to Baseball-Reference.com, Rojas got his first Major League hit — off Sandy Koufax.
But I digress. Mattingly will return April 25-28 to Los Angeles, when Miami plays at Dodger Stadium to start the Dodgers' second homestand of the year.
Vin Scully suits up for interview, 2016 return
By Jon Weisman
In his first interview since the end of the 2015 regular season, Vin Scully re-confirms that he is definitely returning to the Dodgers in 2016.
Scully spoke to SportsNet LA's Alanna Rizzo today for a conversation that will air at 7 p.m. Thursday.
"Yes," Scully told Rizzo in regards to the 2016 season. "Oh yeah, definitely. I'm looking forward to next year, maybe because it's my last year. I'm looking forward to it as much as my second year, because I got by the first year and I was so thrilled there was another one coming up — well, that's how I feel about '16. I am chafing at the bit."

Scully underwent a medical procedure three weeks ago that sidelined him from postseason duty, but he was his vibrant self today, pulling up a chair (if you will) opposite Rizzo.
World Series Game 1 had something for everyone — even Dodger fans
By Jon Weisman
"I just hope for a memorable World Series, something we'll remember for generations," Mark Langill wrote Tuesday. Then that night, Game 1 between the Mets and the Royals delivered, offering so much that even Dodger fans still nursing their playoff wounds had to marvel.
Moreover, it wasn't hard to find several Dodger connections to Kansas City's marathon 14-inning, 5-4 victory over New York.
In search of a classic Fall Classic
By Mark Langill
Finding a parking spot close to the stadium on the first day of the World Series reminded me of Bob Hope's classic line as master of ceremonies: "Welcome to the Academy Awards, or, as it's known at my house, Passover."
Eight storylines for 2016 you can ponder now
By Jon Weisman
It's no secret that this will be another offseason of change for the Dodgers.
Already, manager Don Mattingly and vice president of medical services Stan Conte have departed. Five days after the World Series ends — sometime before November 10 — free agency begins. And you never know what the trade market will bring or take away.
The winter months will address several issues facing the Dodgers. But whatever happens will still leave several questions that won't be answered until we're well into the 2016 season.
Among them, these: (more…)

So, an unusually high expense or income might be considered abnormal. ACCELERATED BOOKBUILDAn offering of new shares in the short term which is non-promoted to institutional investors in order to raise capital. An accelerated bookbuild is an immediate means of financing for a company or an individual, as was the case with Dischem's accelerated bookbuild in December 2013. Debt instruments are basically IOU's written by one organisation in favour of another.

Listed companies often raise additional capital from their existing shareholders by undertaking a rights issue.
ACCOMMODATIONThe extension of credit by the Reserve Bank to commercial banks. ACCOUNTANCYA set of conventions for recording and gathering financial transactions in an organisation. ACCOUNTING CONSERVATISMAccountants are notoriously conservative people. Conservatism applies to incomes, expenses, liabilities and assets of unknown amounts.

ACCOUNTING CONVENTIONThese are conventions developed by the accounting profession to ensure that the financial statements display a clear and accurate picture of the progress of the business during the accounting. ACCOUNTING PERIODThe period of time over which the financial affairs of a company are being accounted for.

I'm sharing with you today a card I made using "The Newborn King" stamp set. I don't have any Blendabilities yet, so how could I use this stamp? This is what I came up with.
You will note that by tracing "Glory" with Dazzling Details made the Mossy Meadows ink run. It had never done that before, so I was disappointed when it happened. You can see that on the So Saffron star it is fine.
This is what you see when you open the card.
First, I used a 1 3/8" punched circle scrap to lay over the nativity and with a sponge blended So Saffron ink around the outside of the circle. Once I was happy with the colour, I removed the circle and lightly blended the inside of the circle leaving the center untouched. Then came a light blending of Pool Party, and then Marina Mist.
Next, I took three different designs of green paper from Trim The Tree Designer pack, stamping the image on each. I cut out some of the treetops from each and paper pieced the stamped image.The star hanging, is the star from the stamp set "Festival of Trees" (stamped twice for front and back).
Blues and silvers/grays, or blues and gold would look good too!
Naturals White - 4 1/4" x 11" - score @ 5 1/2"
Chocolate Chip - 4 1/4" x 11" - score @ 5 1/2" then turn cardstock to other side & score at 3" & 8"
First die cut your circle from the center before folding any scorelines. Using the Whisper White ink and the treetop part of the stamp, create a top and bottom border on the Chocolate Chip card interior piece. Then stamp your sentiment on the left panel.
Card front layers
Chocolate Chip - 5" x 3 3/4"
Cherry Cobbler - 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"
Naturals White - 4 3/8" x 3 1/8"
I found the Mossy Meadows ink looked too black, so I decided to second stamp with this colour and it looks more green. Create the border on the Naturals white piece with Mossy Meadows ink in the same manner as with the border on the Chocolate Chip piece but going around all four sides. Then stamp the sentiment, then the star with So Saffron.
The products used for this card can be found below.
Hope you are inspired to create cards like this one using whatever stamps you wish. And don't forget my Stampin' Up Give-a-way!
Have fun!

The British Court of Appeal (Civil Division) with its judgement in the Apostolides v Orams case (Case No: A2/2006/2114) on 19 January 2010 has created an unexpected new legal situation in the ongoing struggle in Cyprus between Greek-Cypriot owners of property who had been forced to flee in 1974 and whose land had been grabbed by the invading Turkish Army, and for the mostly foreign speculators who took control of those lands, building, at times, plush 'holiday' dwellings on them.
The judgement of the Appelant Court, which under UK law is final and cannot be appealed to the Supreme Court, is expected to be of intense interest not only to the owners of property whose lands were being exploited illegally by foreigners but also by the political groupings of both Turkish and Greek Cypriots who are in the midst of very sensitive negotiations attempting to find a solution to the division of the country and the continuing occupation of the northern part of the island by Turkey.
According to Michael Jansen's article in the Irish Times (Jan 21st 2010), a journalist who lives in the Republic of Cyprus,
"Irish nationals face the possibility of losing property in northern Cyprus following a London appeals court ruling in a case brought by a Greek Cypriot against a British couple. The court ordered David and Linda Orams to demolish the villa they built in the village of Lapithos on land owned by Greek Cypriot refugee Meletios Apostolides and pay him rent and damages. The Orams are compelled to execute the ruling within 14 days or be held in contempt… If they do not comply, however, the British court could order the sale of their home in Britain to pay compensation to Mr Apostolides, whose costs are estimated at €1 million."
Michael Jansen further points out that the London ruling could serve as a precedent in several thousand potential cases that could be raised by Greek Cypriots against EU citizens who acquired Greek Cypriot property after 1974 when 200,000 members of the community fled or were expelled from the north following the Turkish occupation. The UN regards 78 per cent of the land in the north as Greek Cypriot property.
The ruling effectively nullifies the 1975 Turkish Cypriot absentee property law, which deprived Greek Cypriots of their properties and enabled foreigners to acquire their land and homes in the occupied area.
The judgment provides that the earlier Cyprus Court judgments, against whom the Orams appealed in the British Courts, and the European Court of Justice judgements in Luxembourg,(1) be registered and enforced in the UK. In particular, the Cyprus Court had ordered that the Orams should:
- Cease trespassing on the land belonging to Mr. Apostolides;
- Deliver up possession of the land to Mr. Apostolides;
- Pay 'mesne profits' (effectively, rent) to Mr. Apostolides in respect of the period of their occupation;
- Knock down the villa and fencing they had built on the land.
The Orams will also be ordered to pay the legal fees incurred by Mr. Apostolides, regarding the London and Luxembourg proceedings. It is significant that neither the Orams nor their barrister Cherie Blair were present in the Appelant Court when the decision was announced.
Political Responses
D Christophias, President of the Republic of Cyprus, responded to the judgement by saying that the British Appelant Court's decision had very significant legal as well as political implications. He focussed on the human rights aspect of the decision and said it was a very eloquent answer to the Turkish attempt to deny peoples right to property.
The issue of property rights is a key aspect of the second round of Greek-Turkish negotiations due to start on January 25th. The Greek Cypriot side has been arguing that the owners of the properties, who are in control of the deeds, must have the final say as to the future of the property. The Turkish side, on the other hand, has been putting the emphasis on the rights of those who took control and exploited the property over the recent past. This is an issue that would have serious implications for about 5,000 UK and a few tens of Irish citizens, as mentioned by Michael Jansen, who have taken control of these properties building holiday homes and villas on them.
The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ankara made the comment that the British Appelant Court judgement had arrived "…at a very inopportune time…" and it could have "….very negative implication for the Greek-Turkish negotiations!"
This is a key issue to follow as it is likely to have implications not only on the bi-zonal negotiations but also on the overall process of Turkey's accession to the European Union. All comments welcome.
(1) In a landmark decision the ECJ decided that judgements by courts in one EU member state, in this case the republic of Cyprus, are applicable to all EU member states.

Take part in our study to improve health and wellbeing in later life
If you're over 65, our researchers want to hear from you for a new study to understand more about how older people can stay fitter for longer.
What we're doing
We know an older person who remains fit and active is more likely to retain good physical functioning, prevent disease and disability and enjoy independence, mental wellbeing and a higher quality of life.
Through the pioneering REACT (REtirement in ACTion) study, our researchers are enabling older people to maintain levels of physical activity that will help deliver these benefits.
The next REACT sessions will be starting at the Bath Leisure Centre on North Parade Road in July 2017. To take part you should register by Friday 30 June.
Take part
To be eligible to take part in this study you must be:
- 65 years old, or older
- finding that walking, climbing stairs or getting up from a chair are starting to get more difficult
What's involved
If you take part in this study, you will be randomly allocated in to one of two groups:
- in group 1 you will be asked to attend regular physical activity and social sessions with a small group of other older people, at a local community centre
- in group 2 you will receive an information pack on healthy ageing and will be invited to three social and health education sessions at a local community centre
Whichever of these two groups you are in, a researcher will also ask you to:
- provide some information about yourself (the researcher will go through a questionnaire with you)
- take part in some simple physical function tests
- ask you to wear an activity monitor around your wrist for a week
What you'll get
The REACT programme is designed to increase your strength and stamina and help maintain the physical function you need to continue living independently and well.
It is also an opportunity to socialise with other people and our aim is to make it lots of fun. Older adults often find being involved in research a positive, interesting and stimulating experience.
You will also be contributing to a large pioneering study that will provide very important information for the NHS and, if successful, may improve the health of many other older adults in the future.
More about this study
Dr Afroditi Stathi, who is leading the research, said: "We know that being more physically active is very beneficial for older adults, and whatever your age it is never too late to start. The REACT study is based on the successful LIFE intervention from the United States. It is testing whether the REACT approach is useful and good value for money as a means of increasing physical activity in older adults, and delivering the associated health benefits."
"Ultimately, almost 800 people will take part in the study in Bath, Bristol, Exeter and Birmingham. We hope that this research will inform UK health policy so that older people can be supported to live life to the full for as long as possible".

"Pain is temporary; it may last for a minute, an hour, a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit however it will last forever."
Dear photographer,
Today you will haul yourself out of bed at about 8 a.m. you will pull your camera from its charger and you will pack it in its bag. You will trudge a dusty road on your way to the stage where you will get into a matatu with loud gospel music. It has one of those stickers written, God bless the work of my hands. You are already sweating albeit the deo that you slapped on a few minutes before. (Mike Laria, do you see how we use the word albeit?)
When you get off you will walk around looking up and the beauty of the city will amaze you. How the skyscrapers blend in with the sky, the pattern of the clouds, magic. You take out your camera and you will begin to click away amid stares from all over. This would make you uneasy but your earphones are plugged in and you're listening to something from J Cole because his music puts you in your element.
If they look at the direction in which you point your lens they will ask why, because they don't see what you see, they don't understand and yet you can't give that question an answer that's 100% because it is all mysterious art to you and you are deeply in love.
Photographer you will see a great piece of architecture and you can't resist wanting to know how it would look in your screen. Just as you are pressing the capture button, the guard of the building will stop you and he will want to know why you are taking pictures of 'his' building. His name is Titus. Titus asks you if you are Al-Shabaab. "Yes I am, we're planning to blow up your building.'' You tell him it's a school project and he says it is ok but warns you not to capture his face. Oh Titus, I have nothing to do with your face. But there are days you will almost get arrested and you will give up your lunch money.
You will bump into one or two old friends, maybe even-God forbid- an ex who didn't really share in your enthusiasm about your craft. They are doing some fancy course like aviation or something because they were better than you in Math and they look like they are moving up in the world. At this point you feel like you've been kicked in the teeth, you are sweating, your mouth is dry, and you are hungry you could eat a horse. You will lie and say you got a contract with some big company because really you feel ashamed you haven't done anything substantial with your life as compared to them. Yes, doing accounts is quite the achievement.
Photographer, these things will happen to you for a long time and it will get to a point you will question the worth of it all. You will wait patiently for your big break but for now you have to do your time. The struggle continues. Don't quit. Just a little bit longer now, you will get there.

These days, it's not enough just to create a quality product at a good price and put it out in front of the people who are likely to want it. In today's fast-paced marketing environment, other factors are coming into the mix, which means that startup brands, especially in the highly competitive fashion industry, are having are harder and harder time breaking through. The reality today is that Amazon now controls 20% of the fashion e-commerce industry, so when a new company breaks through, it's really big news. Companies today are using new approaches to gaining consumer appeal, including offering last mile service and unique customer experiences to gain brand recognition.
Fabletics Takes Off With Active Fashion Enthusiasts
One of the new companies that is making serious inroads into the e-commerce fashion world is Fabletics. This activewear company was co-founded by film star Kate Hudson, who uses her athletic appeal and glamorous image to help publicize the brand. In just three years this innovative fashion brand has grown into a $250 million company, and it's definitely making a name for itself, even in this highly competitive environment.
The Fabletics Difference
Underneath the fashionable image of the Fabletics brand is a savvy business approach. Hudson's involvement in marketing the brand adds to its positive and "aspirational" appeal, which is focused on making users of the brand feel good about themselves and their commitment to living healthy and attractive lives.
Fabletics is a membership-driven company that asks its users to invest in a monthly subscription to the brand. Every month users get their choice of hand-picked ensembles put together by Hudson. These outfits are personalized after users fill out a quiz that lets Fabletics know what kind of lifestyle they have. This can involve questions regarding what kind of lifestyle they enjoy and what kind of activities they are involved in, like running, cycling or going to yoga classes.
One of the more attractive elements of this brand is its affordable price point. The company was created when its founders saw a need in the marketplace for active wear that is good looking enough to double as daytime wear, yet also comfortable and versatile. These are outfits that can be worn to the gym and then dressed up with a jacket and jewelry for a night or day out. All of this comes at a price point that makes it achievable for mothers and working women of all kinds.
This kind of marketing innovation is proving to be incredibly appealing, which is why Fabletics is really catching on, and giving Amazon a real run for the money.

Embrace the Stuck
Wednesday, October 11, 2017
James Altucher ticks
off ten reasons to regard procrastination as a "superpower." In
the build up to his list, the entrepreneur makes the following claim,
which I am not sure I agree with, even when I take "instinct" to be a
colloquialism for "intuition":
This can true for you anywhere from never to most of the time, but that doesn't affect the value of the list in terms of getting "unstuck." So, without further ado, I'll present the list:
Procrastination is the body and mind's way of telling you that you need to focus on another task. It's like this secret guide that points the direction to what is really important in life.

You have to trust that instinct and [be] good at listening to it.
- Plan B
- Give Up
- Start in the Middle
- End in the Middle
- Experiment
- Do Bad Stuff
- Smaller Is Better
- Surprise Myself
- Read
- Play
I have to make a list of ideas for a project I'm working on. I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself to come up with good ideas. So I was procrastinating. IF you can't come up with good ideas, come up with bad ideas. Bad job, good job, it doesn't matter. The key is: DO.Some of these explanations are better than others -- e.g., "Surprise Myself?" How? -- but the list overall might be a good one to consult the next time you're stuck. And, for that purpose, the article include an infographic.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
LAS VEGAS — In the beginning, it wasn't about a formless wasteland or darkness covering the abyss or mighty winds sweeping over the waters.
It was about a guy wearing one boxing glove and another a jiu-jitsu kimono.
It wasn't even Halloween.
"He wore the one glove because he thought he was going to jab me so much, he might break his hand," Royce Gracie remembers. "But once I saw the glove, I knew I had him. There was no way he could grab or clinch.
"I knew it was over once he was on the ground."
For one fight, maybe. For the sport of mixed martial arts, it was the creation of something that would grow to massive heights.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship holds its 100th show on Saturday night at Mandalay Bay, where two championship belts will be contested, and what has been a historic rise into the sports world's mainstream continues to extend its reach beyond what anyone imagined nearly 16 years ago.
Especially those who shaped the idea.
Funny. The spectacle that is UFC today was born from such a simple concept: Who would win a fight between those from different mixed martial arts disciplines?
Which style would prove the most effective?
Rorion Gracie (a jiu-jitsu expert from a Brazilian family of experts) and Arthur Davie (an advertising man and former Marine) wanted to settle the matter in an eight-man, single-elimination tournament, and with the support of Semaphore Entertainment Group, one was staged at McNichols Sports Arena in Denver on Nov. 12, 1993.
It was supposed to end there. One night. One tournament. One shot at recognition.
But a pay-per view audience liked what it saw, wanted more, and what began as a short-term display has over time became a sport for the ages.
The winner of UFC 1 received $50,000.
Sports fans received an outlet they have since profoundly embraced.
"Oh man, I am so proud to be a part of that kind of history," said Royce Gracie, younger brother to Rorion and champion of UFC 1. "We started the whole thing. I guess that also means I am getting old."
There weren't many rules that first night. You couldn't bite or eye gouge, which means it was fortunate Mike Tyson was incarcerated at the time and that no rugby players were invited to participate.
There were no weight classes. No weight limits. Big against small. Boxer against wrestler. Everything went.
But there was a lot of blood and lost teeth and shattered bones, allowing for the violent part of UFC to immediately show itself. Fans ate it up.
Frank Mir was 14 and watched the tournament on television with his father. Mir assumed what many did back then — that once you punched someone, they fell down and that grappling sounded like the thing Italians did when stomping grapes to make wine.
"It was a very eye-opening experience for me," said Mir, the Las Vegas native who will fight Brock Lesnar in a main event heavyweight unification title bout Saturday. "I never imagined what Royce Gracie was doing, shooting in and tacking people. We had no clue. We were sitting there watching and completely dumbfounded by the whole situation."
Not to worry. So were the referees.
Royce Gracie began the tournament against Art Jimmerson, the one-gloved boxer. It lasted all of 2 minutes, 18 seconds, or as long as it took Gracie to take Jimmerson down, climb on top and force a submission.
Gracie next fought Ken Shamrock in a semifinal bout. It officially ended by choke in 59 seconds. But the replay shows Shamrock tapping (more like whacking the mat like you might someone's front door) five times, Gracie letting up and the referee still not stopping the fight until Shamrock verbally confirmed it really wasn't a good thing when someone's face turned a dark shade of blue.
"Everyone was learning at that point, including the referees," Gracie said. "I think the referee was expecting more of a fight in that one, and once I got on top of Shamrock so fast, it was like, 'What do we do now? Should we continue the fight?'
"I had no idea (UFC) would become as big as it has, but I thought it could do well once the public became educated about what it was."
No one could have forecast such a rise. No one could have known how high the mountain would one day reach.
Gracie won the first tournament with a rear naked choke hold against Gerard Gordeau of the Netherlands at 1:45 of the final match.
With it, a hand was raised and a phenomenon born.
The formless wastelands and darkness covering the abyss and mighty winds sweeping over the waters is about a much more important beginning.
But one night in Denver nearly 16 years ago, the UFC carved out its own.
It reaches 100 shows Saturday and there isn't a one-gloved boxer in sight.
Amazing stuff.

"Hey Julie.
We are getting ready to go on spring break with our 13- and 15-year old, and all I've heard about is how awful it will be. How can I make this a trip they – all of us – will enjoy?"
Raise your hand if you would love to be whisked away to a dream destination on someone else's dime. I see plenty of hands in the air but you know whose hands are down low? Teens!
Seriously, mom + dad, how could you do something as terrible as take your teens on a vacation? What were you thinking?
All joking aside, for many teens, a week or two away means a lot of no's … no friends, no sleeping in, no computers, no privacy … you get the drift. Their unhappiness can make the whole trip miserable. However, there are a few ways to make the trip (hopefully) enjoyable for everyone.
Have your tween-to-teen(s) help with the planning.
Among the top five complaints, I hear from kids is that they have no choice in what they get to do. Their lives feel scripted and directed, so give your kids some say. Ask them to help you choose the hotel or sights to see.
Encourage unplugging.
We lived in a very wired (wireless!) world. We are constantly plugged into our phones, our computers, TV and more. Taking a break from electronics can provide your family with a opportunities to reacquaint and make memories.
Help them stay connected.
Yes, this may seem like the opposite of the above point. However, the fear of missing out (FOMO) is very real. Allow your child some time to text or chat with their friends. On a recent road trip with my own teens, we set up designated times for unabashed tech use. The surprising result was that all of us realized we weren't really missing out on much at all.
Give them space away from you.
Constant togetherness can fray nerves, including your own. When possible, provide opportunities for your tween-to-teens time to explore on their own. Give them a map and a time to meet up at the museum. Let them explore the hotel grounds. Offer an evening in the hotel room without you where they can order in and watch TV. If you aren't certain they can head off solo, consider looking for a class or other teen activities they can do.
Stay positive.
It can be difficult to travel when you feel like nothing is appreciated. A gentle reminder to your kids that travel is a luxury – not a punishment can be helpful. Encourage them to look at the trip through a different lens by pointing out the trip's relevance to their own lives. For example, asking open-ended questions like "Have you ever thought about studying abroad in college?" and "What's something you could do on this trip that you'd be excited to share with your friends/ teachers/coaches?" may give the trip more personal significance to your teens.
Now it's your turn. What ideas have worked for you? Please share them in the comments section below.

Demurrage calculation under the Sale and Purchase Contract of agricultural products upon CIF terms
24 января : en 22 декабря 2018 г.: ru 1 18 декабря 2018 г.: en 1 всего: 125 14.02.17
Interlegal continues to consult actively the clients concerning laytime calculation and demurrage accrual.
Analysis of relevant terms incorporated in sales contracts on agricultural product supply requires for special approach. Calculation correctness shall be assessed with regards to Charter Party provisions, terms of goods supply and actual amendments to agreement between the parties in the process of their performance.
In support of the recent request filed by the Client – foreign trader, the Interlegal lawyers made a complex analysis of demurrage calculation correctness and lawfulness of the Sellers' rejection of demurrage payment.
The goods were supplied on CIF terms/the Danube port. The parties to the Contract arranged special terms on carriage of goods organization. The goods were supplied in batches not exceeding two shipments. Charter Party provisions were incorporated partially into the Contract.
In the process of Contract performance, the Sellers supplied the goods in full, by three shipments with three convoys involved. All the three convoys were declared for unloading at the destination port and were accepted by the Buyers. Under the unloading results, vessels stayed idle at the port over prescribed term. The Sellers proposed the Buyers to settle the demurrage with regards to two convoys.
For their part, the Buyers contested both validity of submitted Notices of Readiness, the fact of idle stay and the Buyers' general obligation to reimburse idle stay of convoys, since the shipments exceeded the number set forth in the Contract.
The Sellers applied to Interlegal for defense of their lawful interests.
Having considered the request, Interlegal experts made a complex analysis of calculations declared by the Sellers and case circumstances. They found out that arrangements between the Parties were changed in the process of Contract performance, and the Sellers were entitled to recover demurrage for three convoys.
Interlegal lawyers prepared a correct laytime calculation and demurrage accrual, with regards both to the Contract and the Charter Party provisions. It resulted in essential increase of the demurrage amount. In the process of negotiations with the Buyers, the Sellers used a legal opinion based upon the Sales and Purchase Contract.
Demurrage claim was settled on the grounds of Interlegal calculation, with regards to the Sellers' interests.
Interlegal lawyer Olena Ptashenchuk, under general supervision of partner Natalia Myroshnychenko, led the case and made calculations.

"Editor and publisher passionate about education and technology, I love to travel, read, movies and, above all, to help others to be prepared to enjoy the amazing world in which we live."
"I ran my own business of digital content creation for 7 years, but at the end of 2014 I had to close it for personal reasons. Then I started looking for some job opportunities that would involve my three passions: education, technology, and development of content. When I read that in Quipper, a digital education startup, were looking for a Content Manager, I knew that I had found the perfect place for me."
"When a teacher who works with children in a high risk area (spot for criminals and drug dealers) comes to you and thanks you because her students finally have shown interest in what she is teaching, and they have thanked her for asking them to work with Quipper School, and therefore for the first time in their lives they finally understand topics that were not understood before, you know you are working in a place that, student by student, helps to change the world."
"I was born in Matamoros , a small border town by the United States. Once I finished my professional studies I moved to Mexico City seeking independence and growth in my personal and professional life. I now have a year living in the capital and till now it has been a pleasant and rewarding experience.I consider myself very calm, a joker and I enjoy the moments with the people I love."
"After a few months in the city of Mexico I was looking for a new job and saw the vacancy posted on the internet.The first thing that caught my attention was the affinity Quipper had with my experience (I had worked in the educational branch before), but when I did my research about the platform and after knowing Quipper's vision I was very delighted with the project. Provide equal opportunities for all students it's very rewarding for my work and I feel very proud to help improve the education of my country and the world."
"Today technology is an important part in education. Quipper has easy access and high quality content that has improved student results globally. I have had the opportunity to hear the experience of teachers and students with the platform and I have only heard great reviews and advances. Quipper is a revolutionary tool that impacts positively."
"I´m very outgoing with a bubbly personality, sarcastic, and very creative. I love to go sightseeing, dancing with friends, and watching series or movies is my favorite passtime. I lived most of my life in California and returned to Mexico 5 years ago. It was a huge change for me but looking back it has been a wonderful experience."
"After working 4 years in a call center I felt like it wasn´t for me and began to look for something new. One day I recieved a reply from Quipper. I investigaged everything I could about Quipper and felt like I had finally found where I wanted to be. I truly knew I could make a difference one teacher at a time. Spanish isn´t my first language but I took the challenge and am truly happy that I did."
"We are speaking to students in their own language, using technology to let them see that learning can be as appealing as using social networks and games. Quipper is attractive to not just students but also teachers."
