The secrets behind the productivity of the most successful entrepreneurs aren't magical at all.
Instead, they're seemingly minuscule and slap-you-in-the-face obvious. The persistent act of nailing a bunch of tiny targets every time they pop up eventually equates to enormous wins.
That's something to remember as we continue: Simplicity is a lifesaver.
De-clutter whenever you can.
Go minimalist so that you can save your complexity for things that actually beg for it.
It's time to get your priorities and focus in line with that of an elite entrepreneur!
"Focusing is so hard. It's like every time I try to – WOAH. Was that a squirrel? Out that window, just now, I swear I saw a squirrel. A GIANT one."
*Sigh* Try to pay attention. At least until the end of this article.
Your phone could very well be your productivity's mortal enemy.
As it stands right now, you don't own your phone. It is not your possession, your tool. Whether or not you are willing to admit it, there is a daunting possibility that it might own you.
You've been made a fool by the very intelligence that has the word "smart" in its name.
The first step is admitting that you have a problem.
This pocket-sized marvel of technological advancement has single-handedly robbed you of countless hours of your existence that you will never get back, no matter how hard you try.
Un-addict yourself from your phone, in all its splendor and fearful might.
When was the last time you experienced 3 straight hours of unbroken focus?
Yeah, sit there and really think about it. No Gmail alerts, no Instagram likes, no heinous cellular tomfoolery whatsoever.
Even one slight vibration or flash of light can snap you out of focus. The devil on your shoulder that was helpfully trying to correct your typos a moment ago is now tugging on your earlobe and whispering slyly, "But what if it's important?"
It takes a whopping chunk of energy to tune that voice out and stay locked into your work.
Even if you overcome the urge itself, you are using up a considerable portion of your mental faculties in doing so.
You can take matters into your own hands by switching your phone to "Do not disturb" mode. We know that sounds scary, but your jaw will drop when you get 8 hours of work done in 90 minutes.
Returning to your phone afterwards, you'll realize what you missed: absolutely nothing.
How about placing your phone face down?
"Now, that's downright absurd," you protest. "How will I know when totally irrelevant, useless things happen that don't pertain to my present situation whatsoever? Oh no! It's the end of the world!"
Cry me a river. Now mute that thing once and for all.
Too much of a scaredy cat to mute it? Then conduct a monthly audit of your apps and notifications.
So you're running a Facebook campaign and you want updates from it in real time. That's fine and dandy. But in 3 weeks, when the ad is long dead, you need to rewire your notification settings so that they align with your current needs.
Conditions vary from month to month, and even day to day depending on the nature of your work. It is absolutely vital to recalibrate on a regular basis to ensure that every little vibration is expressly necessary to the mission at hand.
Oh, and you could always totally eliminate social apps from your phone altogether.
This seems radical to the phone addict, but is it? Think about the psychological reason behind aimlessly scrolling through social media. Most of the time, it's solely because you have instant access in the palm of your hand.
Sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in your lap, you will eat the entire thing without blinking.
Did you actually plan on devouring 3 gallons of buttery goodness?
No, it just kind of happened. And you didn't even realize it until your fingernails scraped the bottom of the bowl and your tongue finished tracing the unpopped kernels for excess salt and oil. Mmmmm.
The odds are that, if you really are a serious buckle-down type of entrepreneur, you originally installed these apps for business purposes.
Your intention wasn't to get sucked into a portal of meaningless updates from strangers.
To help prevent random daylight-burning noodling, drop those apps and run all of your Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter interactions from your work computer instead.
It sounds limiting, but it's actually liberating.
If you really, really, really need to keep the apps and the notifications (and you probably don't), at least filter your contacts and their settings.
You are clearly too lazy or petrified or P.O.'ed at us to take any of the above measures, so please consider this one. Your current Facebook settings likely allow anyone on the entire planet to buzz your phone whenever they please.
By tinkering around with these settings, you can allow messages from certain contacts to show up in your inbox without all the fanfare.
Some of you might think that having Slack notifications on means that you are just being attentive at work.
Who do you think you're fooling? You just love distractions and you can finally justify it.
When your annoying coworker sends you a GIF of a dog chasing its own tail, do you really need to minimize the spreadsheet you're working on to check it right when it pops up in your chat?
NO. No, you don't. Although it is a little cute…
Silence the less pressing conversations and only keep notifications activated for the ones that pertain to your current mission.
Now that your phone isn't buzzing every two minutes, here comes the hardest part of all: Stop habitually checking it.
Would you just put it down and leave it alone for a moment? Having your face cemented to your phone screen gives off terrible vibes to those around you.
Not only is this a rude habit, but it could very well have a more long-lasting impact on the integrity of your business and personal relationships than you can perceive right now.
When you are spending time with people (or just plain being productive in general), checking your phone is literally clocking out of the present moment.
Trying to stand in the way of your own progress and network development? Go right ahead and unlock that sucker. Who knows, you might have gotten a buzz since 20 seconds ago.
It's not like you're going to miss out… Well, you are, but who cares?
There is no possible way you could keep up with every little thing that is happening in the world today. Media is frightfully over-saturated.
Watching, clicking, reading, and listening to every nugget on the net would squash your career and personal life into a shapeless pulp.
There's simply too much out there to consume. Even if you dedicated a 55-hour lunch-less workweek to swallowing it all, you'd still be out of the loop. You might as well throw in the towel now and accept defeat.
You need to set some standards and stick to them. Cut out everything that does not pertain to your life and work, sticking with only relevant pieces of information.
Whatever you do, avoid the trap of living for someone else's mission by constantly keeping up with other people and losing sight of yourself. Stay grounded and collected by centering your energy on your own personal mission.
Cut to the chase and try using your phone as it was meant to be used.
Imagine that. Using a phone… to make a phone call. What year is it, 1761?
Spoken conversation is more efficient than typing or texting, hands down. In the amount of time it took you to type, re-type, edit, and spell-check that email, you could have had the entire discussion over the phone three times in all sorts of different goofy accents.
Many people have an email conversation over the course of several days or weeks, sending one or two messages a day. Would you just pick up your godforsaken phone and call the guy already?
Can you please, focus on one thing at a time.
Forget the bubonic plague. Forget mad cow disease. Forget… shingles. Whatever those were. Multitasking is the current epidemic, and I'm diagnosing you right now. Dr. StartupBro in the BUILDING. *Air horns*
The very act of multitasking could be the biggest obstacle between you and your hyper-productive higher self.
Don't spread yourself too thin.
The shiny objects on the sideline are excellent distractions, but you can't fall for that old trick. It doesn't matter if they seem like easy ventures, or even lucrative ones.
Focus on the exact thing that you want to do, and do it well. The other opportunities will sniff you out and come knocking when you have established that foundation.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Give one project at a time your complete attention, and watch excellence pour out of your every motion.
"I frequently find myself getting super backed up. I just don't have enough time for it all, you know? I'm too busy."
Saying you're "too busy" is a comfortable, hammock-esque safety net that keeps you from having to swallow your pride and mail all of those newsletters yourself.
You need to be careful, though. When using that excuse, be conscious of this: Are you actually too swamped, or is it that you aren't willing to make time for it?
If someone were to say, "My car is totaled. Can you drive me to and from work for the next month? I'll give you a million dollars for your trouble," you'd probably freaking make it happen.
As for deciding what is worth your time, ask yourself the following questions.
Their answers should paint a pretty clear picture of how important the subject is.
- Does this align with my compass?
- Whether it's God, money, acclaim, your family, success, your mission in life, your intuition, or some parrot named Captain Rainbow that steers your ship, check in with that navigational system. If an obligation or opportunity seems to fall in line with that, you are lookin' good, sailor. (Not trying to make a pass at you or anything. I'm not exactly emotionally available right now.)
- Does this solve problems or create value?
- When you solve problems, you automatically create value. The two concepts are nearly synonymous. Answer questions, meet needs, and you will experience a dramatic inflation of value.
- Is this a big door in a small market?
- Making a tidal wave in a small pond is where the money is. Conversely, if you are cannonballing into the Atlantic, it would be surprising if anyone noticed at all. I know we started with a door metaphor, but the water thing works way better.
- Can this be easily integrated into my business model?
- Your video game store doesn't need a shoe aisle. I don't care how much you like them. I don't care how well you think they'll sell. The two things just don't mix. That's an orange-juice-and-toothpaste level combo right there.
- Will this attract more business?
- This is obvious. You can refer to the ripple effect, or the butterfly effect, but some small steps can have tremendous repercussions (possibly career-changing ones) later on down the road.
- How does this pan out in the long term?
- Do NOT get caught up chasing short-term success. Literally everyone loses and stumbles and starves to death in the first lap. Play the long game and shoot for that stability, because that's where the grand prize lives. Keep things in perspective and you should be in the clear, hombre.
- Is the juice worth the squeeze?
- Remember that manpower, energy, and mental effort are figurative forms of currency. Spending too much of these things on what would be a comparatively unworthy ROI is a telltale sign of something that doesn't deserve to be on your to-do list in the first place.
Doing a weekly reassessment of your priorities keeps you from getting stuck in a rut.
Some things are done for money's sake, and money's sake alone.
Others are more of a fulfillment endeavor, and that's fine as well.
Your priorities will change depending on your immediate goals, so adjust as often as necessary.
Also, did we mention how important making a physical to-do list is? Oops. Well, it's important.
We get it. You think you're smart. You think your bulging brain has superhuman capabilities. You're that hot-shot waitress that doesn't write down any of the orders for a 14-top table because she can "remember it all."
No one is saying that you're not smart, but we are kind of urging you to get the list out of your head and onto a piece of paper.
Don't waste any of your precious mental juju keeping track of a laundry list of tasks that are competing for your attention.
You will either a) forget stuff or b) remember everything, but in doing so, keep a corner of your brain wholly occupied with keeping track of it all.
Besides, there's something magical about visualizing tasks in plain text that helps you categorize them in order of importance.
The easiest approach to take is the "First things first" filter.
TOP PRIORITY: Makes you cash money right now.
MID-LEVEL PRIORITY: Retains the cash money that you already have.
WHO CARES HONESTLY: The world will not end if this waits 'til next week.
All in all, the "secrets" aren't so elusive.
Success-inducing habits and world-changing levels of productivity aren't only available to a privileged, elite few.
Other people might have more money than you, more connections than you, or tastier catered lunches than you, but that doesn't matter.
Because you know the secrets.
If you need more productivity tips and hacks make sure to check out the entire 5 part productivity series…
Or better yet, just download the entire e-book that covers everything.
It's free. You're welcome.

- Idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating disorders including multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica
- Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease
- Immune mediated neurological disorders such as myasthenia gravis and paraneoplastic neurological disorders
- CNS infection
- Neuroprotection for Alzheimer's disease
K H Chan received his training in internal medicine and neurology in the University Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong. He obtained his fellowship in neurology in 2001 and joined the University of Hong Kong as Clinical Assistant Professor in 2008, and became Clinical Associate Professor in 2013. His recurrent focus on immune-mediated neurological disorders and related neuroimmunology. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an important inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) with uncertain pathogenesis. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) cause severe optic neuritis and acute myelitis, and not uncommonly misdiagnosed as MS. Detection of aquaporin-4 autoantibodies (AQP4 Ab) in serum of NMO patients greatly facilitate the diagnosis of NMO and its differentiation from MS. APQ4 is the most abundant water channel protein in mammalian CNS. NMO is more common among Asians with long-term treatments different from that of MS. Dr. Chan's research focuses on 1) clinical and radiological features of local MS and NMO patients, 2) development of better assays to detect AQP4 Ab, 3) understanding immunopathogenesis of MS and NMO especially the pathogenic role of AQP4 Ab, 4) development of an ideal animal model of NMO, and 5) development of novel immunomodulatory therapies for MS and NMO. He is particularly interested in the role of regulatory B cells in MS and NMO. He participates in international multi-center trial on new disease modifying therapies for MS and NMO. Among the line of neuroinflammation, he is actively researching on the pathogenetic mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) focusing on neuroinflammation triggered by beta-amyloid (Aβ) in AD and potential neuroprotective action of adiponectin (an adipokine with anti-inflammatory effects) for AD.

Don't think I haven't noticed.
The 'how many more posts can you get out of one interview with Nick Clegg?' type comments.
You're bored, aren't you...
So this is the last one. But I do have a piece of exclusive news at the end. To keep you interested.
As my fellow bloggers have each written great pieces on their time with Nick, I thought it only apt to use the final post on this topic to link to them.
So here's the Lib Dem Voices 'Blogger of the Year', Nick Thornsby, with Nick's answers to questions on progessive taxation and civil liberties.
Here's Neil Monnery's take on conference and the Nick Clegg experience
And finally here's Matthew Gibson's view on where we stand now, and what Nick thinks we need to do to win back popular support.
All great pieces that knock my own effort into a cocked hat.
And finally, that exclusive.....
Nick's a big reader and he's current ploughing through a copy of 'The Hare with Amber Eyes' by Edmund de Waal. Nick says it's very good but quite heavy going.
No one can say this blog is slow coming up with the big stories and the important stuff.

The recovery time for surgery for a torn meniscus depends on the procedure the doctor uses, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. If he repairs the meniscus, recovery time is about three months. If the surgeon removes the meniscus, healing time is three to four weeks.Continue Reading
After surgery for the torn meniscus, keep the knee immobile for the first two weeks, followed by two weeks of limited motion, states WebMD. Most patients begin physical therapy immediately after their surgery, but they should postpone heavy activity for several months.
Each knee has two C-shaped menisci that consist of cartridge. Tears occur during activities that cause forceful twisting of the knee, especially when the person has his full weight on the joint, explains Mayo Clinic. Many times, the torn meniscus heals with conservative care and does not require surgery.
If the tear requires surgery, the surgeon recommends the procedure depending on the tear's location. Tears near the edge of the meniscus are better candidates for repair. Large, horizontal tears or tears due to wear on the joint are less likely to heal after the repair and more likely to require removal. In some cases, the decision to remove the meniscus is made during the surgery, notes WebMD.Learn more about Wounds & Bruises

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Whenever Jarvan III, the king of Demacia, delivers one of his rallying speeches from the glinting marble balcony atop the Royal Palace, Xin Zhao is at his side. Coined the Seneschal of Demacia, Xin Zhao is the personal steward of the Lightshield Dynasty. His enigmatic, silent vigil has led to an abundance of conjecture concerning his ''secret life'' and origins. Whether it's ''Zaun double-agent'' tendered at the dinner table or ''indebted rune mage'' mused in the editorials of the ''Demacian Constant'', Xin Zhao betrays no hints to sate the curiosity of the masses... for good reason.
Prior to the formation of the League, Noxus was renowned for a spectacle called The Fleshing. It was a gladiatorial event with a cruel twist: as a fighter won matches, his number of opponents (generally prisoners of war) fought simultaneously would increase. This meant eventual death for every contender, but with unparalleled glory. Xin Zhao, known then as Viscero, was slated to face 300 soldiers, nearly six times the previous record. This was clearly meant to be his final match. Jarvan II, hearing of this unprescedented feat, infiltrated the arena to offer him an alternative: serve Demacia and punish those who ultimately sentence him to death in exchange for his freedom. Xin Zhao accepted, astonished that a king would risk his own life on his behalf. Under the cover of a prearranged Demacian assault on Noxus, Jarvan liberated Xin Zhao and his 300 opponents. During their retreat, Xin Zhao took a poisoned dart meant for Jarvan. This act of loyalty, from a man who vowed no allegiance, earned Xin Zhao a spot at his side until the day the king died. Now in the service of his son, Jarvan III, Xin Zhao is stepping into a new ring - the Fields of Justice - to fight for his adopted country and to honor the legacy of the man who gave purpose to his life.
''Death is inevitable, one can only avoid defeat.'' - Demacian Manual of Arms

Note that you can use Cripple to attack tanks.
Note that item choice depends at what enemies you have to face.
Try to play defensive at early stages and hit the enemy with E when you see a safe opening to force them recall with low life to their base or kill them.You can use Cripple and E when enemy is close to your tower.Our goal is to stay there to take as may as possible xp and money to make a good start or the build.
your style of play against melee will be like go in burst damage then walk away and jump in again to finish the job. Kinda difficult to master but work very well! sequence is: Q,W,E,R then Q,W,E if W is loading use Q,E
This strategy may change if you face a ranged character, try to jump in with E + R or only E then Q and W they will eventually try to get a distance from you so you have to keep close.Spam E and Q
For Team support Follow same tactic Focusing to kill lower life enemies fast.
P.S. This is my First tactic so please give it a try and rate it. Feel Free to post your comments or improvment suggestions.
Those are the CORE items i usually use but they really depend on situation. I personally always get warmogs,atmas and cleaver.Then work for the others...
-Go with Warmong Armor first asap to secure your survivability.
-Then its time for building some att speed and dps so go with Berserker greaves or mercury treads.
-Atmas impaler does some very decent dps and works really well with the armor (i personally like a lot this combination)
-Black cleaver is a must have weapon! just great benefits!!(Infinity Edge is an alt)
-Close the gap with Phage and Zeal Until Trinity Force (it gives a bit of everything, very good for an all-round build)
-Finally Veil will give you magic resistance health and mana.
Note that items may change depending what you have to face.
Nice items are Warmongs, Phantom Dancer, Infinity Edge, Youmuu Ghostblade, Rnduins Omen, Wriggles Lattern, Frozen Heart. Fell Free to choose whatever you think better for the situation.
Skill Sequence
Audacious Charge: Engage, jump to enemy target.
Crescent sweep: Deals damage to all surrounding enemies + 20% of there current health into physical damage.
Battle cry: Double's your attack speed for 7 seconds and causing your standart attacks to reduce all abilities by 1 second.
Three Talon Strike: Unleashes a fearsome combo with 3 hits, the last hit knocks-up the target into the air.

Digital has changed the way marketers and entire businesses need to think about delivering the brand and its value, not just to consumers but also internally. CEOs are demanding greater value from their marketing departments and having to better understand multiple touch points that customers have with their businesses online.
Marketers, in-turn, are having to re-think how best to manage the different and growing number of communication channels to meet changing customer needs, while adjusting to smaller budgets and more limited resources, along with being faced with increased investment in technology to cope with managing these changes.
This half-day session provides senior marketers and business leaders with a view of the strategic implications of digital, with up to date examples from proprietary Econsultancy research and real life insights in businesses that have had to adapt to the state of digital and suggestions on how establishments may need to change as technology evolves.
- Recognising changing online customer behaviour towards purchasing and how it affects their relationships with companies.
- Understanding the vital importance and complexity of ROI measurement online.
- Addressing the impact of digital on the way businesses are structured and will need to be in future.
- Is the future really here? Are most of us simply playing catch up? How to face and embrace a brighter digital future.
- Peter Abraham, Executive Vice President, EMEA & Asia, Econsultancy
- Saleem Jumabhoy, Lead Consultant, Asia, Econsultancy
- Alvin Chng, Consultant, Asia, Econsultancy

Unemployment is still high, and President Obama's convention speech was solid but not spectacular, and yet he has a small but significant lead in the polls. Obama received an approval bump after the convention, and a bounce bigger than Mitt Romney's after the Republican convention, which wasn't much of a bounce at all.Reacting to the unemployment situation in light of the latest disappointing jobs report, conservative columnist George Will said on Sunday's This Week:
"[I]f the Republican Party cannot win in this environment, it has to get out of politics and find another business."
But Romney is not winning. Generally, when the economy is doing this tepidly in September, it spells doom for the incumbent president. What's going on? Why is Obama winning?
Implied in Will's remark is that the Republicans are somehow not running their campaigns correctly. That is, a GOP candidate doing a good job would win in the current economic environment. I would argue that in the modern Republican party, it is impossible for Will's conception of a good candidate to secure a nomination. That is, the very qualities necessary to get a GOP nomination, especially for president, are the very characteristics that are giving Obama (and a surprising number of Democratic U.S. Senate and U.S. House candidates) the lead despite the unemployment numbers
The current Republican argument is, essentially, this: There is too much government, so if you elect us, we will cut taxes for the wealthy and remove regulations, which will lead to a stronger economy and jobs for everyone.
I think there is a reason why this argument (offered by this GOP presidential candidate) just isn't flying with enough swing voters right now to put Romney ahead. Simply put, they don't trust him.
We live in a time of decreasing public faith in institutions, including the government. The Republican argument asks voters for an awful lot of trust. That is, a president and Congress cannot legislate the economy directly, but rather they can only make law and policy that they hope will result in positive economic developments. What Romney and his party are asking the American people to do is to trust that the policy they are offering (tax cuts for the wealthy), which will have no direct impact on middle class and working class voters struggling in the current economy, will eventually help them, because these candidates say they will.
(It should be noted that Romney and Paul Ryan are also asking the American people to trust them on the specifics of their tax policies, since they won't disclose details on what they intend to do. Such an approach can be problematic when, according to a recent Pew study, 58 percent of Americans think the wealthy currently pay too little in federal taxes, making the argument for additional tax cuts even harder to sustain.)
For this approach to work, the voters have to trust that they will benefit from the policies that will initially only help people like Romney and Ryan. And right now, enough voters don't trust the Republicans on this issue.
When the Republicans in the House brought the country to the brink of financial collapse in 2011 by holding the noncontroversial debt ceiling extension hostage, Americans had far more trust in Obama than Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner or House Whip Eric Cantor to do the right thing, and it wasn't even close (48 percent v. 30 percent v. 33 percent v. 26 percent, respectively). So going into the 2012 elections, trust may not have been a strong suit for the Republicans.
And then in the Republican convention, the main takeaway from Ryan's speech was that it was filled with lies, a fact acknowledged from sources ranging from progressive media watch dogs (like Think Progress) to a columnist for the Fox News website. Ryan's subsequent lie about his marathon time (first reported not by a liberal media source but by Runner's World) only solidified his public image as a first class prevaricator.
Ryan's lies fit in well with Romney's seeming inability to tell the truth, a frequent problem for him dating back to the GOP primary campaign. More recently, Romney was nailed for running patently dishonest television commercials about Obama's welfare policy, and Rather than apologizing and pulling the spots, the Romney campaign doubled down on the lie, with an aide saying, "We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers."
Clearly, Romney and Ryan aren't the guys to make a successful "trust us" argument to the electorate.
Meanwhile, one of the most lauded speeches at the Democratic convention was given by Bill Clinton, and the bulk of it found the former president debunking the assertions made by Romney, Ryan and others at the Republican convention.
It's no wonder then that the undecided voters in key swing states who will determine the winner in November are not ready to trust Romney and Ryan enough to buy into a policy that doesn't help them initially, but only will based on the promises of those who would benefit immediately. They don't trust Romney and Ryan to deliver.
Throw in the GOP's shift to the extreme right on social issues (as I discussed last month in the context of Todd Aiken's "legitimate rape" statement), which is scaring away some women voters, and the president's ability to hold a lead in the polls despite the economic conditions starts to make clear sense.
George Will may think Romney should be able to win in the current economic environment, but what he is missing is that given the hard shift to the right the Tea Party-dominated Republicans have taken in the last few years, GOP candidates are stuck with a platform and policy agenda that alienate the voters they need to reach the most. Will says that if Romney loses in November, Republicans should get out of politics, but by embracing an extreme right-wing agenda and then lying about it, it is as if the party already has.

This case site paper discusses the experience of What Works Scotland, the Glasgow Centre for Population Health and the West Dunbartonshire Community Planning Team in developing community profiles for the purposes of place-based working.
The paper describes the initial reflections from the What Works Scotland project: 'What works in community profiling?' and provides insights into the operational dynamics of working with data and evidence in the context of community planning.
The key learning points from this paper are:
- With new legislation in Scotland driving a renewed emphasis on place-based working, both community planning partnerships and health and social care partnerships will need to be able to work more flexibly with data at a range of small area geographies, and in response to different thematic areas of public service reform. A lack of capacity to work in this way could be a barrier to collaboration between services and partnerships and to the potential for turning evidence into action.
- For some community planning partnerships, community profiling – a process that involves bringing local data together in a concise, accessible, presentation style – will require investment in a new technological infrastructure; in-house training for staff with some level of analytical ability and/or recruitment of staff with specialist analytic skills; and specialist support to develop the capacity of staff to interpret and make sense of local data so that it is more accessible and meaningful to local partners and communities.
- In the context of the Community Empowerment Act 2015, community profiling could be used to promote greater openness and transparency between service providers and communities, to highlight differences – and often inequalities – and to provoke discussion and responses.

Holy Hectopascals! How do you survive a 41 degree day in Sydney? Well, for James the answer was going to IKEA. And he roped me into going too.
James and Yoda have their last Swedish lesson for the year on Tuesday night and there's going to be a bit of a Christmas party. Everyone has to bring along Swedish food and so it was another trip to IKEA for James (and for me, deputising for Yoda who is on a 4-day astronomy bus trip around country New South Wales).
JudgeG's flat was sweltering by 11.30am this morning but outside felt like someone was holding a giant hair dryer in the sky and pointing it towards Sydney. It felt like blast furnace. In agreeing to accompany James to IKEA I was aware that at least their would be air conditioning at the end of the journey. And luckily for us, all trains we caught were air conditioned too.
With Christmas rapidly approaching, IKEA is full of Swedish Christmas decorations and other goodies. Like Juleskum. We had to go through the entire store first to look at all the weird and wonderful Scando-creations and giggle at all the funny Swedish names they were called.
The place was packed – particularly with screaming kiddies but at least it was very well airconditioned. All of Rhodes Shopping Centre was thank god! We noticed there was a new Target and some new smaller shops so naturally we went to have a sticky beak. I also picked up a bluetooth headset for my gorgeous Nokia e63 mobile phone at last. I picked up the Nokia BH-105 which is charging in the lounge room as we speak! I'm hoping it's going to be a good purchase and not a dud.
Back at IKEA James scoured the mini-Swedish food mart looking for something particularly Christmassy that doesn't actually require any preparation, cooking or even heating up. Something wrapped in plastic and ready to eat!
The final choice was some kind of biscuit thing that looked Christmassy and only cost $6.95 for 9. James' kind of value! He also picked up Yoda's contributions to the party from the IKEA freezer chest – those little green pastry things that look like they're coated in plutonium or nuclear waste. Apparently they're a Swedish delicacy. At least it wasn't pickled herring – that would have been going too far.
The photo on the right gives you a good run down of Christmas in Sweden (click on any of these pics to see larger versions) where the winters are long, dark and cold. As opposed to the Sunday shopping days in Sydney where the weather is like living in a blast furnace! James pointed out that it was 8C in Stockholm today. Yes, that's way too cold but 41C is just insane. Couldn't we meet somewhere in the middle – say about 23C?
An airconditioned train ride back to the city was followed by a hot walk to the bus stop, a long bus ride and another 10 minute walk in this frightful November weather. I'm home now – fans are on, windows are open and I'm trying not to move too much. Gotta stay cool! We're due for a cool change and a thunderstorm tonight so hopefully that means I'll be able to get to sleep.
And dream of ducted airconditioning no doubt.

Crystal Chappel Speaks on Return to Days of Our LivesMatt Richenthal at . Comments
She's (almost) back!
Crystal Chappel returns to Days of Our Lives on October 2, stepping into the role of Carly Manning, a character she last played 16 years ago.
In a new interview with TV Guide Magazine, the former Guiding Light star opens up about this return to her former home:
On coming back to the set: There were some familiar faces but everything and everyone - most of the cast and crew - seemed largely new to me. Then again, I've had too much wine between 1993 and 2009 to remember how things used to be!
On Carly: Well, Carly has committed a murder and she's on the run. When we first see her, she's in Europe and trying to make her way back to Salem. Because of what she's done, there are other people in danger, too, and she needs help from Bo.

sample the album:
"The noted west coast composer made his ESP debut accompanied by his then wife, Barbara Donald, on trumpet, Teddy Smith on bass, John Hicks on piano and Marvin Pattillo on percussion. Recorded August 1966, Staying on the Watch is an important infusion of straight-ahead and avant jazz. Barbara Donald is a superb trumpeter who has made a strident contribution to the legacy of women performers and has been widely written about. Also, pianist John Hicks, who makes his New York debut on the record, went on to become one of the most prolific pianists in jazz."-ESP
"Altoist Sonny Simmons' debut as a leader is a typically stimulating and dense ESP blowout. Performing in a quintet with trumpeter Barbara Donald, the up-and-coming pianist John Hicks, bassist Teddy Smith and drummer Marvin Pattillo, Simmons stretches out on four colorful and mostly free-form originals. The intense set (which has been reissued on CD) still sounds quite advanced over three decades later."-Scott Yanow, All Music

The sad case of Iman Rauf is bringing the practice of muzzling to a much wider audience. The potential target is literally concrete: a thirteen story building rather than someone's job or right to speak. And the victim, is unusually well connected, an envoy of the US Government.
But the process is much the same. So for all the people who've joined us late, it would be a good time to write the definitive guide to "muzzling" debate on the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
First, pick someone whose crime is not their outlandish views, but their very reasonableness. A few out-of -context quotes, and that very reasonableness can appear sinister, evidence of a hidden agenda!
Second, in addition to being reasonable, this person should have some particular influence credibility. There is no percentage in gagging a random nut on the internet. Particular points will accrue to you if the person is seeking an expanded role for Arab or Muslim Americans in public life or an expanded debate within the Jewish community about Israel. Neither development can be tolerated, for the Jewish community must remain utterly lockstep on Israel. Who knows to what use Jewish Americans with dissenting views might put their ethical traditions or feeling of connection to others? And what would occur if Arab and Muslim Americans could report on the Middle East, raise money for charities in their countries of origin, or build community centers like everyone else?
If you have done your homework well on the first and second points, this third should go without saying, but the person you are targetting should actually care what other people think. While hard line lunatics can sometimes be useful, they only derive gratification on your attacks on them. Whereas the tolerant liberalism of the muzzlee and their actual opposition to anti-Semitism can be their own undoing! It's no fun if they don't cry.
Once the first three conditions are met, mazel tov, you have your victim, now go get 'em! Here's a tip, if you are a liberal-seeming organization, let conservative blowhards do your dirty work. Their accusations will be eagerly reported by journalists who believe the only "real Americans" are white rural protestant blowhards and the people they like, not coffee drinking liberals like themselves. Once the reporters do their work, good liberals will be earnestly repeating slanders, after all they read them in the New York Times!
If this muzzling attempt is an internal Jewish community affair, you can either use the Jewish version of the right wing blowhards or if the community is small enough, create a new group! You could name it something like "Jewish Americans for Peace, Kugel, and Continuity" or something equally heart-tugging. In the post-Madoff age where so many Jewish organizations have gone belly-up, there is valuable community growth to be had from muzzling!
Ok, now to actually apply the muzzle. Make sure you begin your speech/ blogspot/ oped by saying how against the thing you are doing you are. You are NOT against Muslims or an Open Debate on Israel, just THIS Muslim or Open Debate. And every other one you have met. The word "BUT" can be given a world of innuendo and meaning here.
Congratulations, you are now a muzzler. But sadly your work is not done. In the good old days, it would have been but now the other side has blogs of their own, and plasma televisions. They will complain. You should also be prepared to alienate everyone in your community, many of them younger, who are disgusted that you engage in such activity. This should be your cue to lament how "we are losing the young people" and plug the indoctrination program of your choice.
Your work is finally done. Your reasonable, open-minded opponent will now lack a platform for their speech/reportage/Islamic community center and you can lament how there is no one to talk to. Your supporters will be suitably terrified by the enemies you have conjured under every rock and lower Manhattan block. Any backlash against your group for bullying and moral blindness will only feed those fears. Most meaningfully of all, Israeli government officials will thank you, for you will have provided an invaluable distraction from their latest outrage against Palestinians. So everyone will be happy.
Until the day when this game no longer works. When your community begins to hold you accountable to their actual needs and values. When Israel's abuses can no longer be justified as self-defense. When Muslim and Arab in the United States and Israel/Palestine no longer accept second class citizenship or none at all.
So your last move should be to hope that day has not yet arrived, and repeat the entire cycle until you no longer can.
–Jesse Bacon

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 30, 2014
Brooklyn's Famous Nargis Cafe, the central Asian hotspot that Village Voice restaurant critic Robert Sietsema has named as one of his favorite Brooklyn eateries, is actually one of the few area restaurants that grill meat and fish directly over real charcoal. Sietsema singles out the smoky sea bass kebabs topped with grilled onions as one of the "must-try" dishes, and he also highly recommends the lamb rib kebabs, with their strong wood-smoked taste, the flavorful onion-laced ground lamb lulya kebab, grilled chicken kebab and the crispy-skinned marinated Cornish hen. Other charcoal-grilled meats on the menu include lamb, lamb ribs, beef, veal liver, lamb chops, chicken wings, and chicken hearts. Nargis Cafe's "unstintingly fresh" and heart-healthy charcoal-grilled fish also comes in for its share of praise, including the "crackling and succulent" trout as well as sea bass, salmon, bronzini, and the catch of the day. Many of these charcoal-grilled entries are served with a side dish of rice or vegetables.
Nargis Cafe also features appetizers and entrees with an international flair. Cold appetizers include Russian-style pickled herring and a cumin-spiced shredded carrot salad, as well as a Korean-influenced spicy cabbage kim-chee. The Village Voice called the Tashkent salad, made with boiled beef, eggs, shredded radish and scallions "unexpectedly delicious", while Chef Big B suggests the middle eastern-influenced Bojon salad made from garlicky roasted eggplant. The middle eastern influence also makes itself felt with the inclusion of baba ghanoush and hummus as appetizers, while another Chef Big B recommendation, the meat-stuffed samsa pastries. Manti, meat-stuffed dumplings, are kind of like Chinese pot stickers, although quite a bit larger – the Village Voice calls them "fist-sized", and Big B claims that this dish alone has made repeat customers out of many first timers.
As the perfect complement to its tasty charcoal-grilled meats and fish, Nargis Cafe has recently introduced a lineup of several European (or European-style) draft beers: Blue Moon, Stella Artois, Grolsch, Peroni, Weihenstephan, Krusovice, Staropramen and Pilsner Urquell. They also have European red and white wines to go with every menu selection, and non-alcoholic beverages ranging from homemade fruit juices to drinks to green and black teas, espresso, cappuccino and sparkling water. The dessert menu features a diverse range of delectable treats including baklava, Napoleons, molten lava cake with ice cream, Russian chocolate layer cake and a type of central Asian pastry "Chak –Chak" made from sweet, crispy noodles.
Brooklyn's Famous Nargis Cafe is not only the go-to place for some of the best food in town, but it's also becoming quite the trendy spot to see and be seen. It was featured on an episode of the Cooking Channel Show "The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia", where the Baron sampled the Lagman soup made with homemade noodles and juicy chunks of lamb and beef, and was also chosen as a shooting location for an episode of the FX Channel series "The Americans". Chef Big B is pleased that this Cold-War spy drama chose his establishment, feeling that this paid quite a compliment to his "authentic central Asian" décor. The restaurant's newly expanded dining room features soft lighting, vivid colors and authentic tapestries from Big B's native Uzbekistan – the chef calls it "the perfect dining atmosphere...ideal for couples and families."

CHICAGO - NelsonHill has been named the exclusive agent for a 91,000 square foot site in Chicago's West Loop at 315 N. May Street.
"This is the greatest land site for development in the West Loop," said Max Meyers of South Street Capital.
The West Loop continues to be one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Chicago. The subject property consists of a former 47,799 square foot warehouse with 44,536 square foot adjacent land site. The two non-contiguous sites are situated between May and Aberdeen Streets on both sides of Carroll Avenue. The South Lot is zoned M2-3 and the North Lot resides in a PMD zoning district.
The property is located one block west of the new Fulton Cold Storage office conversion, developed by Sterling Bay. This 535,000 SF office building will be home to Google and SRAM and has been a catalyst for new development in the immediate area. Once known for food production and manufacturing, Chicago's West Loop and Fulton Market District have grown into one of the most active neighborhoods in Chicago. The area benefits from easy access to transportation, trendy restaurants, night life, retail, commercial and residential developments.
"The 91,000 square foot land site is well-positioned for redevelopment, as the West Loop has transformed over the past 10 years to accommodate loft-style living, corporate office and a new restaurant development," stated Mark Nelson of NelsonHill. "There are multiple re-zoning options available that provide flexibility for commercial uses."

(Perth Western Australia)
The plant has long flat leaves/stems. Blooms are soft, fragile, succulent, white and pink. Petals looks like tendrils
Hi Denise, without seeing the actual plant it's hard to tell exactly what the plant is, but from your description, I'm thinking that you have an Orchid Cactus.
You can see more about these interesting plants here: Epiphyllum. These are epiphytes and originate in high tree canopies in the jungle, not really what you would think of as a place to find succulent plants, but they survive off the mist and rain showers that run down the tree limbs.
Other similar plants are the well known Christmas Cactus, or Schlumbergera and its relatives, and the plant known as Queen of the Night.
The flowers of all of these plants are short lived, in some cases less than 24 hours, so it takes a sharp eye to notice when the blooms are about to open so you don't miss them.
Best of luck with your plant,

The current musical offering from the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger finds pop/psych/folk/garage troubadours Charlotte Kemp Muhl and Sean Lennon partnering with Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Invisible Familiars, combining their talents to take the group's sound from deep minstrel forests into a swirling dissonance of psychedelic space.
Every song on Midnight Sun, available via Chimera Records on April 29 2014, contains some sort of musical anomaly that sends the listener on a sonic search to reveal more secrets.
A follow up collection to 2010's intimate living room recording Acoustic Sessions, and the luminescent electrified EP Le Carotte Bleue, the new album begins with the stifling fuzzy pulse of "Too Deep," a neon warning from Lennon to "keep holding your breath, because you're already dead." The song extracts a feeling of breathlessness from the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger vocal blend that rings itself out over the psych-soaked guitar mantra. The song is a powerful and dark opener that sets the table for the grand feast to follow.
Midnight Sun continues with "Xanadu," a song constructed like a mystical crystal palace, backwards guitars, and hallucinatory keyboard orchestrations mix and match, while swirling and spreading out into new multifarious colorization's of music. This new recording, taken in contrast to previous GOASTT excursions, is comparable to a new panoramic view of a multicolored alien landscape, which the listener was previously only allowed to glimpse through a cobwebbed keyhole.
The ravaging track "Animals," is the recipient of an addictive melody, tripped out with funky drums and sunrise harmony vocals that slowly gain the horizon before basking in sunny glory during the expansive chorus. The group has recently released a must-see video for this song, properly conveying the hallucinatory nature and of the track.
The recognizable quirkiness of GOASTT, so apparent on their debut release, is abundant again in "Johannesburg," where Muhl takes her first seductive vocal of the collection. This light funk travelogue has a luscious guitar break sweet enough to pucker the lips and is sprinkled with numerous sonic delights. Next, the title track becomes a delirious stumble into a smoky moist underground of late night ravers, trippers, hipsters and jet setters lining disorienting halls of sound. Wailing sirens and elongated organ flourishes illuminate the narcotic combined guitar/bass central riff.
A stage favorite of the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, the musically diverse opus "Last Call" is given a proper studio reading on this set. Rising from its humble beginnings the song flourishes by its well traveled conclusion, allowing the younger Lennon a moment to show off his soulful guitar prowess. "Devil You Know" is another thick slab of prismatic melodies enveloped in astral echo and reverb. The song develops like a painting being created in front of your eyes in shades of red, the dual vocals and conflicted descending guitar riff the songs pulse points.
"Golden Earring" follows, sounding like an ancient melody reverberating through time, gaining electrification along its travels. Lennon's vocals elicit his mother's vocal approach in timbre and attitude and slight vibrato. The song changes from its strange worldly verse into a set of swinging soul chorus changes. Similar to the aforementioned "Last Note," Lennon again coaxes some gritty attitude from his guitar, enclosing the song brick by brick around an icy mellotron finish.
The trio of tracks leading to the albums close, "Great Expectations," "Poor Paul Getty" and "Don't Look Back Orpheus" stay closer to the archeology of the first collection of songs created by the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger in 2010.
"Great Expectations" is a breezy drift that highlights all of the songwriting strengths of Lennon and Muhl, illustrating a catchy chorus and a well thought-out arrangement. "Poor Paul Getty" has a nice power-pop groove and is possibly the most straight forward of the songs on the collection. Braided vocals and a tight arrangement highlight the dulcet quality of the song. Finally, "Don't Look Back Orpheus" truly could be an Acoustic Sessions left over — and this is not a bad thing. The song is nestled nicely like a delicate flower among tall trees. Music box keyboards and transparent percussion ornately frame perfect Muhl and Lennon vocals. The duo sings as one, skipping through the carnival changes.
Midnight Sun concludes with the melting wax of "Moth to a Flame," a maelstrom of piercing guitar effects, blinding white noise, dreamy slide and a very Pink Floyd vibe. The wordless sing song vocalizations that circulate through the static and madness, lend the song beautifully conflicting emotion. The song is a massive hallucination to close the album with and a fitting ending statement for the story of the record.
The alternative universe created by the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger here is filled with dark undergrounds, vaudevillian aliens, ancient cults and undiscovered worlds. Lennon and Muhl have again successfully combined art, commentary with diverse sonic accompaniment in an original way that subscribes to no genre except that developed in their own imaginations. With this display of new music, Lennon and Muhl have dipped their cups into the deep cool water of inspiration, disseminating a variegated miscellany of their collaboration.
